Chapter 115: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (23)
It was Zheng Qian’s first time in Mingyuan Hall, and he didn’t know what to say to people.
So even though Wu Kai had treated Shui Zhizi's wound, and she and her maid had changed Shui Zhizi into clean clothes, she could only wait quietly for the situation.
What Zheng Qian found strange was that Wu Kai was obviously very anxious when he saw Shui Zhizi was injured, but now that he was free, he didn't even ask about the situation as the person who brought Shui Zhizi back.
He just told himself that Shui Zhizi was not in danger of life and went out to see patients again.
That was of course because Wu Kai never asked about Shui Zhizi. Shui Zhizi had told Wu Kai that she would never hide anything that could be told to Wu Kai, and she would not tell anything that could not be told even if Wu Kai asked.
Wu Kai saw at a glance that Shui Zhizi's injury was caused by herself and her life would not be in danger. Naturally, everything could be done after Shui Zhizi woke up.
But before Shui Zhizi woke up, Prince Rui and Prince Zhan arrived at Mingyuan Hall first.
Fortunately, Mingyuan Hall has a backyard, otherwise it would attract a lot of attention.
"mean!"
Zheng Qian had just told Prince Rui and Prince Zhan what happened in the Prince's Mansion, and Prince Rui started cursing.
Yes, if Shui Zhizi didn’t know how to swim today, if Shui Zhizi didn’t react quickly, who knows what would have happened.
When Zheng Hong thought of Shui Zhi being trapped in the backyard by the prince, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"You guys take care of Shui Zhizi. I will go to the Prince's Mansion myself!" Prince Rui was about to leave in a hurry.
"Prince Rui, the more you do this, the more dangerous Shui Zhizi will be. Don't push her in front of people anymore." Prince Rui personally went to the Prince's Mansion for Shui Zhizi, and the Prince would only pay more attention to Shui Zhizi.
"King Zhan, I am different from you. I only know that I must protect my people! Do you think it is appropriate for me not to come to Shui Zhizi's house when something like this happened to her, given my personality?"
Zheng Hong choked, he was overthinking it. In the eyes of everyone, Prince Rui was the most protective person in the capital.
Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble after Shui Zhizi's Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower were named after Prince Rui. The problem was that Prince Rui did not go to the Prince's Mansion today.
"Please do as you wish, Prince Rui!" Zheng Hong said.
Zheng Qian's gaze moved between Prince Rui and Zheng Hong, and finally fell on Zheng Hong.
"Fifth brother, I haven't sent anyone to tell you yet."
Of course, the same goes for Prince Rui. Shui Zhizi hasn't woken up yet. Zheng Qian was waiting for news and forgot to pass the message to Prince Rui and Zheng Hong, but they arrived one after another.
Zheng Hong looked at Shui Zhizi, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and paused before answering Zheng Qian's question.
"I just happened to see your carriage in the street."
Zheng Qian remained silent. The capital city is so big that it is not easy for such a coincidence to happen.
"Fifth brother, being associated with Prince Rui has put Shui Zhizi in great danger, so you'd better be careful. The prince is cunning and you can't defend yourself against him."
Zheng Hong tapped his fingers up and down. "I know."
Today he was not careful enough. As soon as he heard the person sent to keep an eye on Shui Zhizi say that Shui Zhizi was injured and unconscious, he ran out of the house without even thinking about anything.
Zheng Hong didn't know when Shui Zhizi had such a great influence on him.
But in fact, Shui Zhizi doesn't need any help from others at all. Just like today, even when facing the prince, Shui Zhizi was able to win by herself.
Shui Zhizi didn't mention Prince Rui in any of her threats to the prince. She only relied on her own Kangning Tower and Mingyuan Hall.
If only he had personally sent Shui Zhizi away from the capital back then and told her never to set foot in the capital again.
This way, she wouldn't be involved with Prince Rui, and wouldn't be drawn into the fight between him and the Crown Prince.
With Shui Zhizi's ability, she can live well anywhere.
"Royal sister, what do you say about me sending Shui Zhizi out of the capital now?"
Before Zheng Qian could answer, he heard a weak but still angry voice.
"Who do you think you are? Why do you decide whether I stay or go? Are you addicted to making decisions for others?"
Zheng Qian covered her glaring eyes and quickly covered her mouth. Only then did she realize that it was Shui Zhizi who was cursing her, and it was useless for her to cover her mouth.
Last time, Zheng Qian just thought that Shui Zhizi should have a bad impression of Zheng Hong, but he didn't expect to witness Shui Zhizi scolding Zheng Hong today.
Zheng Qian was a little worried, but also very curious about his fifth brother's performance. After all, it was the first time for Zheng Hong to be scolded in person.
Zheng Qian quickly ran to Shui Zhizi's bed and said, "You're awake."
Seeing Zheng Qian's worried look, Shui Zhizi realized that what she had just heard was not a dream, and she was not just venting her dissatisfaction in her sleep.
She really scolded Zheng Hong, and Shui Zhizi closed her eyes feeling guilty.
But the dull pain from the wound reminded Shui Zhizi of what had happened today, and the more Shui Zhizi thought about it, the angrier she became.
Zheng Hong and the prince were both bad people. But Shui Zhizi also wanted to take the blame for insulting the prince, so she opened her eyes.
"Please forgive me, Lord Zhan. I was confused and thought you were someone who was not familiar with me but was meddling in my affairs."
Zheng Qian stretched out his hand, this time wanting to cover Shui Zhizi's mouth.
Is this still the Shui Zhizi who kept retreating in the Prince’s Mansion just now?
This may seem like an apology, but isn't it still accusing Zheng Hong of meddling in other people's business?
But after Shui Zhizi said this, she closed her eyes again and didn't say anything more because she really had no strength left.
I was able to scold Zheng Hong just now only because of my anger.
Zheng Qian looked back at Zheng Hong's stiff face, smiled at him soothingly, and subconsciously continued to reach out his hand towards Shui Zhizi's face.
You can't really put your hand on Shui Zhizi's mouth. Zheng Qian thought about what Doctor Wu Kai had just said and put his hand on Shui Zhizi's forehead.
As soon as Zheng Qian let go, he hurriedly shouted outside, "Doctor Wu, Boss Shui has a fever, a very high fever."
As soon as Shui Zhizi woke up, she angrily scolded Zheng Hong. Zheng Qian thought Shui Zhizi didn't have a fever, but it turned out that she must have gone crazy with the fever.
But after a moment, Wu Kai ran in with the medicine he had prepared long ago.
Zheng Qian wisely gave way to Wu Kai and dragged Zheng Hong out of the room.
"Boss Shui is really confused because of the fever. Don't bother with her."
Zheng Hong gritted his teeth and nodded. He did not grit his teeth because he was angry, but because he seemed to make Shui Zhizi hate him even more.
Zheng Qian looked at Zheng Hong's face carefully and found that Zheng Hong was really not angry, so he simply continued:
"Besides, what Boss Shui said is right. This is her own business. Just think about how difficult it is for a woman to build up her business to this point. You really shouldn't have told her to leave the capital."
Zheng Hong continued to nod. What was the point of letting Shui Zhizi leave the capital now? Everyone already knew who Shui Zhizi was.
