The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 139: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (47)

"Finally, distribute these pieces of paper to beggars in the capital, and let them spread these pieces of paper to all parts of the capital overnight. Then you will leave the capital with the money, and live your life in anonymity from then on."

It listed all the crimes that Ying Wan'er had committed that she could collect, in case her lawsuit failed.

These papers will not only spread throughout the capital, but will also spread to all parts of Yan Dynasty along with her medicinal materials business.

Even if her lawsuit failed, she would not let Ying Wan'er live.

Da Zhuang looked at the two piles of money in his hand and said tremblingly, "Boss, don't scare me. What happened?"

Shui Zhizi knelt down and took a few steps back, then kowtowed loudly to Da Zhuang who was also kneeling.

"When you give these things to the beggars, you will know. I beg you to help me get these things done."

"I will definitely get it done." Da Zhuang was also very serious.

Shui Zhizi forced a smile and said, "Da Zhuang, don't be afraid. If I come back tomorrow, we will be the same as before. I am just preparing for the worst."

I hope the emperor is a good emperor. I hope he can see the contributions of loyal ministers and generals, and also see the sufferings of ordinary people.

Although she had already made the worst plan, Shui Zhizi still prayed like this in her heart.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Shui Zhizi received an order from the palace, asking her to enter the palace to attend the banquet.

For the first time, Shui Zhizi did not try to keep a low profile, because she knew that no matter how low she kept her profile, according to Prince Rui, the emperor would still push her in front of others.

Sure enough, all the officials in the court were there, but she, a commoner, had a seat near the front at the palace banquet.

Shui Zhizi didn't understand the procedures of these banquets. She didn't expect that the beginning was to reward the heroes who had contributed to the treatment of the epidemic.

It was obvious that War King Zheng Hong had the highest status, but he had not yet received any reward. First, it was the officials who followed Zheng Hong to Liujia Town, and then the doctors who participated in the treatment.

In the end, only Zheng Hong and Shui Zhizi were left.

Shui Zhizi smiled bitterly. She was destined to make this celebration party unhappy.

When it was Shui Zhizi and Zheng Hong's turn, the emperor said a lot of things, but only the last few words entered Shui Zhizi's ears.

"I specially grant Shui Zhizi to be the concubine of the King of War."

Shui Zhizi looked up at the emperor whose hair had turned gray, then looked down and saw Prince Rui who kept winking at her and urging her on.

Shui Zhizi even turned her head and saw Li Chuan with a sad face in the middle of the seat.

When Li Chuan looked over, Shui Zhizi gave him an extremely gentle smile.

Shui Zhizi wanted to look at other people's expressions, but she felt someone pulling her sleeve.

Shui Zhizi turned around and saw Zheng Hong kneeling beside her.

Shui Zhizi glanced at Zheng Hong and knelt down. The joy in Zheng Hong's eyes was about to overflow.

They kowtowed at the same time, but the words they spoke were completely different.

"I thank you, Father, for granting me the marriage."

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that!"

In an instant, the entire banquet fell silent, and the emperor's smile seemed to freeze on his face.

"Doctor Shui, what did you say? I didn't quite hear it."

Shui Zhizi once again felt the force pulling at her sleeve, but she still raised her head, straightened her back, and looked directly at the emperor whose face had changed.

"I'm sorry I can't obey your order, I already have a fiancé."

"Really? Why did I hear from King Rui that you are still alone?"

"I dare not deceive you. I already have a fiancé, who will be at the banquet today."

There was a lot of discussion and all kinds of expressions, some were curious, some were sarcastic, some were surprised, and some were waiting to see the show.

Only Zheng Hong looked at Shui Zhizi with fear.

"Oh, really? Doctor Shui has already been engaged to one of our masters? I didn't know the truth and made a random match. Who is Doctor Shui's fiancé? Doctor Shui, tell me and I will grant you marriage right now."

At this point, no one could tell whether the emperor was happy or unhappy.

Shui Zhizi turned her head again and looked deeply in the direction of Li Chuan.

Li Chuan had been stunned when Shui Zhizi smiled at him like that just now, and he hasn't come back to his senses until now.

At this moment, being stared at by Shui Zhizi with such a different look again made him lose all thoughts.

Zheng Hong followed Shui Zhizi's gaze and collapsed to the ground with a pale face.

When did she recover her memory? So there was no chance for him and Shui Zhizi after all?

"Your Majesty, my husband is Li Chuan, the Minister of War!" This statement caused a huge uproar.

There were too many and too loud discussions, and Shui Zhizi couldn't hear a word, but it didn't matter whether she could hear it clearly or not.

"Shui Zhizi, stop talking nonsense. Li Chuan is our princess' husband, and they have been married for seven years." In the end, it was this roar that drowned out all the discussions.

Shui Zhizi knelt and turned to find the person who was talking. She recognized him. He was Wei Da, the general that King Rui had mentioned to her, who would always stand on Ying Wan'er's side regardless of right or wrong.

Shui Zhizi smiled and stood up.

"When he accepted the marriage proposal, did he tell her that he had a fiancée? He promised her that he would never let her down in his life!"

The discussion arose again, and the scene of Li Chuan standing in the court and defying the imperial order seven years ago suddenly popped up in many people's minds.

Coincidentally, the celebration banquet was also held in this place that year.

But for some reason, Li Chuan lost his memory in the end and married Ying Wan'er, who was still a princess.

Shui Zhizi glanced at the others and only saw Li Chuan covering his head in pain.

"Ten years ago, Li Chuan was going to join the army, and you told me to wait for you to come back and marry me. I waited for three years."

“Seven years ago, you told me to wait for you, to give me the most grand wedding. I waited for a month, but what did I get?

I waited for a big fire, which killed our parents and destroyed my eldest brother’s face. From then on, our family was torn apart.”

"And what about you? When your parents' bodies were still warm, you married a beautiful woman and had a wedding night. Li Chuan, have you really lived in peace these years?"

Li Chuan covered his head but couldn't remember anything. He pounded his head hard but it was no use.

Facing Shui Zhizi's bloodshot eyes, Li Chuan could only say those few most useless words.

"I forgot, I don't remember, I..."

"It's okay, if you forgot, I'll describe it to you." Shui Zhizi had tears in her eyes and her voice was shrill, but she didn't stop for a moment.

"Do you know? Dad and Mom were burned to death, choked by smoke.

There was hardly any intact skin or flesh on their bodies. They tried hard to crawl out of the fire, but couldn't.

Even though he was rescued, he died without saying a word, and stared towards the capital until his death."
