The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 122: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (3)

"Your Majesty, you know that I am like this whenever I take a liking to someone. As for investigating the case, I'd better forget it, lest others accuse me of abusing my power for personal gain."

"Ahem, ahem, of course I know that Prince Rui wouldn't do that. Then who does Prince Rui think I should entrust this matter to?"

“Your Majesty can assign the investigation to anyone he wants. I believe that Boss Shui would never do such a thing. Her Mingyuan Hall can even treat beggars. How could such a person target General Ying’s daughter?

General Ying's contributions to our Yan Dynasty are well known. However, no matter who the emperor sends to investigate, the generals who filed the complaint must first answer my questions.

Why did Boss Shui attack Madam Li? When and how did he attack Madam Li?

"General Wang?" The emperor obviously agreed to Prince Rui's request.

"Shui Zhizi attacked Madam Li because she was jealous of Madam Li. As for the time, it is well known that Madam Li was injured the night before yesterday."

Prince Rui's originally uneasy heart finally calmed down. Although he was speaking so righteously now, he was actually afraid that although Shui Zhizi said that she would not pursue the matter of the Prince's Mansion, she would retaliate against Ying Wan'er in private.

But the night before yesterday, Shui Zhizi was busy dealing with matters for the new store in Corning Building and finished very late.

The people he sent to protect Shui Zhizi were afraid that something might happen to Shui Zhizi because it was getting late, so they sent Shui Zhizi back to Mingyuan Hall in secret.

There was no way Shui Zhizi had done this, but Prince Rui took the opportunity to turn around and question General Wang to glance at Zheng Hong.

The people who protected Shui Zhizi said that after Corning Building closed that night, Zhan Wang went to find Shui Zhizi, but the two seemed to part ways unhappily.

On the day Shui Zhizi was injured, when he found Prince Zhan's mansion, Zheng Hong also said that he would give Shui Zhizi an explanation.

Could this be what Zheng Hong told Shui Zhizi?

Thinking of this, Prince Rui lowered his head and rolled his eyes. Was this an explanation to Shui Zhizi or a death warrant?

If I hadn't prepared in advance and made Shui Zhizi's existence clear to the emperor from the very beginning, I wouldn't know how Shui Zhizi would get through this hurdle.

I wonder if Zheng Hong is in conflict with Shui Zhi. The last time Shui Zhizi was injured was because of Li Chuan's wife, and this time Zheng Hong has personally put Shui Zhizi in the spotlight.

"The boss of Tianshui was in the newly opened Corning Building all day. There are many customers in the building. Those who want to investigate this matter can go and ask at any time."

"How did Prince Rui know this? Doesn't Your Majesty feel that his relationship with Shui Zhizi is a little too close?" The general who had just rescued General Wang continued.

"I asked Prince Rui to send people to Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall." The most unexpected person answered the question.

When they found out that the person answering the question was the emperor, everyone's expression changed, including Zheng Hong.

If Shui Zhizi were here at this moment, she would definitely remember what King Rui told her in a very decisive tone at the beginning.

As long as the current emperor is in power, the Rui Palace will never lose its power.

At that time, Shui Zhizi was still thinking that Prince Rui and the Crown Prince were not getting along, so how could he guarantee that the Emperor would definitely protect Prince Rui's Mansion?

Because Prince Rui is absolutely loyal to the current emperor. No matter who Prince Rui supports between Prince Zhan and the crown prince, as long as the current emperor is there, Prince Rui will follow the emperor until death.

Prince Rui and Prince Zhan are cooperating to plan for the future of the Ruiwen Mansion, but this does not mean that his loyalty to the current emperor will change.

When Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower had gained a very good reputation in Beijing and had a great influence among the people, Prince Rui had already told the emperor about the situation.

A store like this that has influence among the people, and whose influence is set to grow, will definitely listen to the royal family in the end.

So Shui Zhizi had no choice from the beginning. Since she wanted to take advantage of the people's hearts, she would definitely have to get involved with the royal family.

Prince Rui probably only hid one thing from the current emperor in his life, which is that he had cooperated with Prince Zhan, and their communication was not just about state affairs.

But in fact, the current emperor may not be unaware that the person who has been loyal to him all his life also hopes that he can have a good result, and he does not want to disappoint his loyal minister.

But both the Crown Prince and the King of War are the Emperor's sons, and it is really difficult for the Emperor to choose him himself, so it all depends on their own abilities.

The emperor is convinced that no matter who finally ascends the throne, Prince Rui will protect the Zheng family's empire.

Therefore, the emperor also knew that as long as the crown prince ascended the throne, the king of Rui would be dead, because the king of Rui would never rebel. And the crown prince would never let the king of Rui go.

So the emperor just pretended not to know some things. He wanted to give the person who had been loyal to him all his life a chance. A chance to live.

If Shui Zhizi knew that the current emperor was such a person, she would definitely praise him as a good emperor, but Shui Zhizi would not be happy either.

Because Ying Wan'er's father was also a loyal minister. Ying Wan'er is the only blood of General Ying left in the world.

Why no one dared to talk about Li Chuan's amnesia, and no one was curious about where Li Chuan's fiancée had gone.

In addition to Zheng Hong's methods, it was also because everyone saw the emperor's attitude.

Therefore, Shui Zhizi's road to revenge is destined to be full of difficulties.

Now that the emperor has said this, what else is there to investigate? Shui Zhizi had been in Corning Building the whole time and was seen with her own eyes by the emperor's people, so it is impossible that Shui Zhizi was the one who did this to Madam Li.

The generals who had just sued Shui Zhizi knelt down on the spot, while the prince who was standing turned pale.

"Why don't the generals sue?" asked the emperor.

"I just heard it from others. Please punish me, Your Majesty." One person spoke, and the others followed suit.

"Deduct one month's salary." The emperor gave the order decisively.

From beginning to end, I didn't ask these people who heard this from others. Because the answer is obvious, these people had followed General Ying before.

"By the way, during his confinement, the prince repeatedly sent messages saying that he would attend today's morning court. He has important news to report. Tell it now." The emperor's voice was unclear in terms of emotion, but the prince's face became even paler.

The prince insisted on coming here during his house arrest because he heard that someone was going to sue Shui Zhizi today. But it turned out that the emperor already knew about Shui Zhizi's existence.

The matter ended just like that. What else could the prince have to report? He was only afraid that the emperor would know what he had done to Shui Zhizi, so he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Then go back and continue your house arrest for another half a month."

"My son, I obey."

"King Zhan, if Shui Zhizi knew that she had been wrongly accused, would she curse the person who had wronged her?"

Of course, and she didn't agree to do this in the first place. He owed Shui Zhizi another debt.
