The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 163 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (7)

He never said that the environment in Lai State was difficult, nor did he miss the prosperity of Dongmeng. He never showed such an expression.

The feeling of heartache spread slowly in Xin Zhuyou's heart.

"Princess." Xin Zhuyou handed over the thing in his hand. After all, he gave away the birthday gift that he had not given away at the beginning.

"What is this?" It was a purse, and Shui Zhizi didn't take it immediately.

"It's the grass from the stable when the princess practiced horse riding."

Shui Zhizi looked at Xin Zhuyou in shock.

"When the weather gradually warms up in a few months, there will be grasslands like this in Lai Country too. The species should be the same. Princess, you can go and take a look."

Xin Zhuyou didn't know why he dug out a handful of grass from the horse farm where Shui Zhizi fell again and again, and then dried it and packed it up.

Maybe it was because standing there he couldn't help but think of his own country, which was one of the few places he had seen that was similar to Dongmeng and Lai.

It may also be because of heartache or admiration.

There were many princesses of Lai who were married off to other countries. Even though their country was in ruins, those princesses were reluctant to leave.

Xin Zhuyou once sent a princess to marry a foreign prince, but she did not go there voluntarily. None of the princesses from Lai State who were married off went there voluntarily.

When she left, her eyes were full of hatred. But when she arrived in that country, she regretted not leaving something of her motherland behind.

So Xin Zhuyou did this when Shui Zhizi was practicing horse riding over and over again and falling off the horse over and over again.

Shui Zhizi took the purse from Xin Zhuyou's hand, opened it and found that the grass inside had already turned into powder.

But Shui Zhizi was still very grateful to Xin Zhuyou, and she gave Xin Zhuyou a standard bow.

Shui Zhizi began to look forward to the time when the weather in Laiguo would get warmer.

There was heavy snow in Lai State, which delayed the delegation's journey.

So what Shui Zhizi and Xin Zhuyou were waiting for was not the Dongmeng delegation, but an assassination attempt by the Lai Kingdom.

This assassination attempt was not only aimed at Xin Zhuyou, they also did not intend to let Shui Zhizi go.

Under the protection of Shui Zhizi's personal guards, Shui Zhizi and Xin Zhuyou were both unharmed.

The assassin's blood was left on the white snow.

Xin Zhuyou arranged for people to clean up the bloodstains as quickly as possible.

But after a while, bloodstains appeared on the ground again, they were from Xin Zhuyou and Shui Zhizi.

But this time it wasn't the assassin who hurt them.

Shui Zhizi was looking for Xin Zhuyou to ask how the interrogation of the assassin was going.

Anyone in Lai State who had a little understanding of the situation would not attack Princess Dongmeng. But today, those people clearly wanted to kill her.

So Shui Zhizi wanted to know the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible.

As a result, Shui Zhizi heard a scolding as soon as she arrived outside Xin Zhuyou's yard.

"Xin Zhuyou, you are so bold that you actually let Princess Dongmeng live in the place where a lowly person like you once lived!"

Then there was the sound of something hitting someone.

Shui Zhizi walked in quickly and saw the scars on Xin Zhuyou's face at a glance.

"stop!"

While shouting, Shui Zhizi reached out to grab the second whip that the other person had already swung out.

The whip was still heading towards Xin Zhuyou's face, and Xin Zhuyou showed no sign of dodging.

Shui Zhizi didn't have time to think about it and just stretched out her hand.

But the man whipping her did not hold back at all, and Shui Zhizi's hand instantly lost all feeling.

"Princess!" Yingfu rushed forward, grabbed the man's whip, and was about to hit him back.

Shui Zhizi had no choice but to stop Yingfu.

The person who could make Xin Zhuyou stand there motionless and get beaten must be of high status. If someone gets beaten during the martial arts competition, he would probably get into trouble.

Shui Zhizi herself is not afraid of trouble, but she has no way to guarantee that she can protect Yingfu anytime and anywhere in Lai Country.

The words that man just said to Xin Zhuyou did not sound like a magnanimous person. Shui Zhizi did not want to offend such a villain.

Shui Zhizi's hand slowly began to regain consciousness, and the burning pain made her want to cry physiologically.

"Princess, please ask Yingfu to find a doctor."

Xin Zhuyou walked forward a few steps, and after seeing his hand bleeding and swelling rapidly, he spoke to Shui Zhizi in panic.

As someone who was often whipped by Xin Zhuyin, he knew best how painful Xin Zhuyin's whip was.

Shui Zhizi didn't notice that Xin Zhuyou was getting further away from her.

Except for those days in the carriage, Xin Zhuyou always kept a proper distance from Shui Zhizi no matter what he did.

And now the distance is even farther.

Ying Fuhu stood still in front of Shui Zhizi. She also called people to treat the princess's injuries, but the man who had injured the princess looked so ferocious that she could not leave.

The moment he heard Yingfu calling her "Princess", Xin Zhuyin felt guilty for a moment, otherwise Yingfu would not have been able to snatch the whip from his hand so easily.

"Your Majesty, the princess is precious. The envoy from Dongmeng will arrive tomorrow. No matter how angry Your Majesty is with me now, let's let the doctor treat the princess's injuries first, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the envoy from Dongmeng."

Your Majesty?

Hearing how Xin Zhuyou addressed that man, Shui Zhizi felt a chill in her heart.

This is the man she is going to marry, her future husband.

"Why don't you go and get a doctor for your master!" Xin Zhuyin shouted at Yingfu who was looking at him defensively.

Yingfu was angry but didn't say anything. She had already heard the man's identity and knew that she couldn't act impulsively.

Yingfu turned to look at Shui Zhizi. After Shui Zhizi nodded to Yingfu, Yingfu ran to find their doctor.

Shui Zhizi gritted her teeth, trying hard to overcome the pain she had never experienced before.

She had never been injured like this in her two lifetimes.

"Princess Shui Zhizi of Dongmeng greets King Lai."

Even though her hands were dripping with blood and she was in pain, Shui Zhizi maintained the demeanor of Princess Dong Meng.

"Princess, there is no need to be so polite. I am teaching my subjects, and it is not your place to interfere.

Shui Zhizi raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is outside the capital of Lai State. My safety depends entirely on the protection of the Third Prince. I thought it was an assassin who came to kill the Third Prince."

In order to avoid attracting attention, Xin Zhuyou has not even left the yard these days, just like her. What mistake could he have made that deserves King Lai's heavy-handed punishment?

It's just nitpicking. Shui Zhizi also heard what King Lai shouted just now from outside.

There are people everywhere in and outside the capital who want to assassinate them. It's good enough that Xin Zhuyou can find a safe place. What else can be done with Xin Zhuyou?

It was just the place where Xin Zhuyou lived before, and it had everything it needed. Was it worth it for him to hurt others like this?

"King Lai, do you have any instructions for me today? My envoy from Dongmeng has not arrived yet. If you have anything to say, please wait until I and the envoys enter the capital to pay homage to the king."

Shui Zhizi couldn't even force a smile, she was in so much pain.

"I came here because I was worried about the safety of the princess. Since the princess is fine, I will leave first."
