Chapter 186 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (4)
Xin Zhuyou was so lucky that he felt that he had stolen the good luck that originally belonged to Shui Zhizi.
But that’s all for the future.
At this moment, Xin Zhuyou, who had just finished her first New Year's Eve dinner in her life, looked at Shui Zhizi who was setting off fireworks with Yingfu.
He just felt that even if it was just for the sake of being able to see this moment every year, he had to make Lai State strong as soon as possible.
Even if he can't see this moment in the future, it will be enough as long as Shui Zhizi can live so happily every year.
When Yingfu turned around to get the fireworks, he saw Xin Zhuyou's affectionate eyes looking at his princess again.
She felt helpless. Could it be that King You couldn't hide it at all?
Fortunately, the princess and King You only met a few times this year, otherwise, even if the princess no longer took emotional matters to heart, she would have noticed something.
It seems that she needs to remind King You. Yingfu originally wanted to remind King You when she sent him away later.
However, after hearing what King You and his princess said when they said goodbye, he gave up the idea.
King You was going to the battlefield again. The last battle lasted for half a year.
This time it will take even longer than the last time. Anything can happen on the battlefield, and the princess doesn't want to do anything unnecessary.
"Yingfu, are you reluctant to leave?"
After seeing the guests off, Shui Zhizi was about to turn around and enter the mansion when she saw Yingfu looking at Xin Zhuyou's back with a look of regret.
"I just feel that things are unpredictable on the battlefield, and I don't know what will happen after King You leaves."
Shui Zhizi was a little dazed when she heard Yingfu's words.
"King You is indeed in a different state than when he said he was going to the battlefield last year, but this battle with Lai State must be fought."
This time, Xin Zhuyou mentioned the war, which was obviously much more serious than before.
"Princess, after the victory over Laiguo, will we ask them to fulfill their promise and join us in attacking Xilin?"
The letter from Prime Minister Lu two days ago said that the troops from the west were provoking us again on the border.
"We have to wait two or three years. It won't be easy for Lai to win the battle with Beiying this time. Even if they win, they will have to rest for a year or two."
"What if they go back on their word again after one or two years?"
Shui Zhizi paused as she entered the mansion. It was almost certain that Xin Zhuyin would go back on his word.
"We have already told the Sixth Prince that once the issues with Lai and Beiying are resolved, if the King continues to go too far, we will consider cooperating with the Sixth Prince."
Yingfu was surprised. "I thought the princess was joking with the Sixth Prince. Didn't the princess say she would not interfere in Lai's internal affairs?"
Shui Zhizi smiled indifferently.
"Why do you think the Sixth Prince was so easily persuaded?"
Because they all knew that Xin Zhuyin's attitude towards her, the Princess Dongmeng, would only become more and more excessive.
It is inevitable that they will cooperate.
“The premise for me to promise not to interfere in Lai’s internal affairs is that Xin Zhuyin keeps his word.
Yingfu, if Lai can defeat Beiying this time, do you think Xin Zhuyin will stop there given his temperament? "
"No." Although he had little contact with the king, the ambition in the king's eyes was too obvious.
"Yes, Beiying is only his first target, he wants the entire north.
If he could take over Beiying, it would only be a matter of time before he could take over other countries.
When he unifies the north and the territory of Lai can be compared with the other three major powers, do you think he will still take me, the Princess Dongmeng, seriously?
So if we didn’t find someone to cooperate with us at that time, we might not even be able to save our lives.”
Given their current relationship with Xin Zhuyin, Xin Zhuyin's hatred for them has reached a certain level.
Shui Zhizi was almost certain that Xin Zhuyin would not let her live if he had the ability.
Yingfu thought for a moment and felt even more depressed.
“If we don’t help Lai now, Lai will remain weak and will not be able to help Dong Meng.
But if we help Lai State, Lai State may go back on its word at any time and not help Dong Meng, or even hurt us.
Princess, no matter which path we choose, it seems to be the wrong one. "
"Yes, no matter which choice you make, it's wrong, but it's not difficult to choose. I am the eldest princess of Dongmeng, and it is my responsibility to make Dongmeng stronger and stronger."
It is also the client’s wish.
"What if we support King You at that time?" Yingfu asked tentatively.
"what?"
"When Lai defeats Beiying, what if we support King You and the king in their fight for the throne?
Anyway, everyone knows that the king’s victory in the war is inseparable from the advice of King You.”
And King You should not harm the princess.
"He doesn't have such ambitions, and he has always wanted Lai to be strong. He will not interfere and make the Lai royal court more and more chaotic."
Yingfu was disappointed. Yes, between Lai State and the princess, King You must have given priority to Lai State.
Shui Zhizi exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. There's no point in thinking so much now. By the way, where did our people transport the food?"
“Princess, rest assured. If the army sets out at the time King You said, our food will definitely reach the border of Lai a month earlier than the army of Lai.
If Lai is short of food during a war, we will be able to supply the army with food as quickly as possible."
Shui Zhizi lied to Xin Zhuyou. She told me that the food she had Dongmeng send returned along the same route after reaching the Dongmeng border.
In fact, Shui Zhizi asked her personal guards to disguise themselves as a caravan to bring the grain back to Lai State, and then divided it into several groups and sent it directly to the border of Lai State.
She also ordered her personal guards to buy any food they saw along the way, in order to ensure that the State of Lai had enough food and grass to win the battle with Beiying.
"That's good. In the future, we must let our people hand over the food to King You in person, and we must let the people in the army know that we provided these food and fodders."
"These are all arranged, but Princess, you have sent all your guards out. No one is protecting you. Is this really okay?"
"Don't we have you? And don't Xin Zhuyin and Xin Zhuyou have enough people sent to our mansion?"
Especially since she met the Sixth Prince yesterday, Xin Zhuyin added a group of people outside the mansion today.
Shui Zhizi felt that the last thing she needed to worry about now was her own safety.
Sure enough, a month later Xin Zhuyin set out again.
But before setting off this time, Xin Zhuyin sent someone to invite Shui Zhizi to give the army a farewell party.
As we all know, the reason why Lai State was able to make a comeback so quickly this time was because Queen Shui Zhizi's fruit and vegetable business made a lot of money for Lai State from Yan State.
Whether in the army or in the court, there was a chorus of praise for Shui Zhizi. Even if Xin Zhuyin felt aggrieved, he had to ask Shui Zhizi to come forward.
Shui Zhizi discovered that Xin Zhuyin brought Concubine Mei with him again this time.
Ever since Xin Zhuyin found out about the food that Dong Meng gave to the State of Lai, it has been gone ever since.
He took the money that Xin Zhuyin brought for Shui Zhizi back that day, and pretended that he had never mentioned Mei Fei's house arrest.
