Chapter 164 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (8)
Leaving now? Shui Zhizi looked at her bleeding hand, her eyes dimmed.
Although she was impulsive and tried to stop the whip, King Lai would not say nothing about such an injury.
"I wonder if Your Majesty knows that I was assassinated today? This is not the first time. I hope Your Majesty knows that I am weak and timid. If Lai Country cannot even guarantee my safety, then I will definitely not stay in Lai Country.
However, I believe that since the king can come here openly and expose my whereabouts, he must be able to guarantee my safety."
With some people, you only need to meet them once to know that they cannot live in peace with each other.
In front of such a husband, Shui Zhizi is destined not to be a good wife and mother, so it is better for her to be stronger from the beginning.
Otherwise, Xin Zhuming would feel that he was weak and could be bullied.
Xin Zhuyin paused, turned around and smiled, his smile showing anger and disdain.
Xin Zhuyin didn't believe that Shui Zhizi could go back. The reason between Dongmeng and Laiguo was already known to the world. Xin Zhuyin didn't believe that the people of Dongmeng could let the princess who had already arrived in Laiguo go back.
In Xin Zhuyin's opinion, the so-called noble eldest princess was nothing but exaggeration by the people around him and Xin Zhuyou.
"The princess is threatening me."
"How could that be? I just said that I am the most cowardly and timid person. I am seeking the king's protection."
Shui Zhizi could clearly see the contempt in Xin Zhuyin's eyes, and she sneered in her heart.
Xin Zhuyin didn't seem to understand that it was their Lai Kingdom that needed help from Dong Meng, but he didn't take this princess seriously.
It's useless to show weakness to someone like Xin Zhuyin. She can only be more assertive to make Xin Zhuyin take her seriously.
Shui Zhizi came to marry not to be a good wife and mother who takes care of her husband and children in the back house.
She wants to play her role in Lai State, so her husband must take her seriously.
"Don't worry, Princess. Since you are here, I will naturally ensure your safety. I will send someone to guard here when I return."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xin Zhu turned and left with a gloomy face.
Shui Zhizi immediately held her hand and examined it carefully.
If Xin Zhuyou hadn't been there, Shui Zhizi would have already shed tears. She had never been hurt like this before.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault that I harmed the princess." Xin Zhuyou's eyes were fixed on Shui Zhizi's swollen hand.
"Why don't you dodge? You are a martial artist, so you can see that the whip is quite powerful. If it hits your face with such force, you will have a scar on your face for the rest of your life."
Xin Zhuyou didn't reply. If he dodged, he would only be whipped more often.
Shui Zhizi took care of her hands and didn't ask a second time, but she felt in her heart that Xin Zhuyou was not an ordinary person.
Seeing that Xin Zhuyou did not dodge or evade the whip, it was definitely not the first time that Xin Zhuyin treated him like this.
But on the way, Xin Zhuyou begged her to marry Xin Zhuyin and help Xin Zhuyin stabilize the royal court of Lai.
I don’t know whether Xin Zhuyou is kind or foolishly loyal.
In fact, it was already known that the person holding the whip was King Lai, so Shui Zhizi might not necessarily try to stop the whip.
This is a matter between the emperor and his subjects, but since it has been stopped, Shui Zhizi will not regret it.
"Princess, the doctor is here." Yingfu rushed in pulling the doctor.
The doctor took a look at the wound on Shui Zhizi's hand, and the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed together.
He gave Xin Zhuyou a reproachful look and said, "Third Prince, our eldest princess has never been injured like this in Dongmeng."
Without waiting for Xin Zhuyou to explain, Yingfu started crying.
"It was King Lai who beat me. Princess, let's go back. We won't marry. I just saw King Lai's hands. He must never leave his whip."
There are calluses on his hands from being rubbed by the whip. And he doesn't look like a stable person. He might whip the princess when he gets upset.
Before Shui Zhizi could reply, the doctor spoke.
"Princess, please go in first. I will treat your wound first."
There is some distance between Shui Zhizi's place and Xin Zhuyou's yard, so she can only use Xin Zhuyou's place nearby.
Xin Zhuyou opened the door in a few steps and watched Shui Zhizi and the others go in. Suddenly, he remembered what Xin Zhuyin said when he was about to hit him.
His house is too simple and there is no stove in it. I wonder if Shui Zhizi will dislike it.
Also, did Shui Zhizi hear what Xin Zhuyin said just now? Is she starting to mind it?
Shui Zhizi didn’t care about these things now. She no longer felt cold, but only pain.
When the doctor was treating the wound, Shui Zhizi almost bit the tip of her tongue for a moment.
Fortunately, Doctor Shen was a famous imperial physician in Dongmeng Palace, and he quickly treated Shui Zhizi's wound.
Even so, after the wound was bandaged, Shui Zhizi's tears were already welling up in her eyes.
But she never cried, because Shui Zhizi knew that the pain she would face in the future would be even greater than today.
"Princess, let's go back, okay? If the emperor knew you were injured like this, he would definitely let you go back. The emperor said that Laiguo will not let you suffer any grievances."
Yingfu was extremely scared, not only because of the injury, but also because the man the princess was going to marry was so disliked just by looking at him.
How could the princess marry such a cruel and violent man?
"Yingfu, I was the one who rushed over to stop the whip. This whip was not meant for me. King Lai didn't dare to hit me."
Yingfu disagreed with Shui Zhizi's opinion, but when he saw Xin Zhuyou standing there, he realized that he had been impulsive.
In this case, she should talk to the princess in private, so she held back and said nothing.
After talking to Yingfu, Shui Zhizi remembered that there was still a wound on Xin Zhuyou's face.
"Doctor Shen, please take care of the wound on the Third Prince's face, to avoid leaving scars."
Shui Zhizi and Doctor Shen were both sitting at the table in Xin Zhuyou's room.
After hearing what Shui Zhizi said, Doctor Shen motioned Xin Zhuyou to come to him.
The table was not big, so after the carriage, Xin Zhuyou was closer to Shui Gardenia again.
“Princess, although the king is impulsive, he can still see the situation clearly.
The princess was implicated by me today. It was my fault. This won’t happen again.”
Shui Zhizi raised her eyebrows when she saw Xin Zhuyou dodging because of the pain when Doctor Shen was applying medicine.
Hearing Xin Zhuyou say this, she thought Xin Zhuyou was not in pain. He is really loyal.
"Third Prince, I blocked this whip for you today, but you will definitely be whipped again next time you meet your king.
Third Prince, you should think about what you want to do first. What choice I and Dong Meng make depends on the attitude of your king.
No matter how much you say, Third Prince, it will be useless if your King does not cooperate."
