The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 111: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (9)

The two of them originally had a simple cooperative relationship, Shui Zhizi sold medicine and Wu Kai bought medicine.

But because Wu Kai was only interested in curing illnesses and saving lives, he accepted all kinds of patients, often even risking his own fortune. As a result, Wu Kai's clinic had long since closed down.

After Shui Zhizi learned about this situation, she used her own money to help Wu Kai open the clinic. Later, Wu Kai accepted Shui Zhizi as his disciple, and they came to the capital together to open Mingyuan Hall.

Even with such a relationship, Shui Zhizi is willing to fight for Wu Kai. King Rui doesn't think that Shui Zhizi will stand idly by and watch him and Qi Yu in the future.

"Dad, what are you thinking? Is it difficult to deal with the War King?"

King Rui didn't answer the question for a long time, and Qi Yu became anxious.

"That was something King Zhan agreed to himself. What does it have to do with us?" King Rui smiled nonchalantly.

Qi Yu thought for a moment and said, "As expected, it's called Water Gardenia."

"Yes, it is worthy of being called Water Gardenia." Prince Rui agreed.

Zheng Hong was thinking the same thing at this moment.

"Your Highness, we have brought Xiao Wu back and found a doctor to examine his injuries. The doctor said that the people from Mingyuan Hall used only the best medicines for Xiao Wu."

Zheng Hong felt even more upset, thinking that Shui Zhizi might have used the same medicine on Xiao Wu as Wu Kai.

"Have him recover and send someone to take good care of him. You will be in charge of his recent affairs."

"Yes. Your Majesty, what about the assassin?"

"I will go to the trial myself." In fact, he knew the result even without the trial. Who else except the crown prince didn't want him to cooperate with King Rui at this moment?

However, he did not expect that the prince would not put pressure directly on Prince Rui and himself, but would directly attack Shui Zhizi's industry.

With Shui Zhizi's current ability and Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building's current strength, it should be no problem for them to fight against other ordinary merchants, but if they were to face the prince, Shui Zhizi might not be able to handle it.

"Xiao Wen, transfer some people to Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building to guard them. If there are any problems in these places in the future, tell me immediately."

Xiao Wen tentatively asked, "How long will the person sent stay?"

Zheng Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "Keep guarding, but don't let Shui Zhizi find out."

"Yes."

Xiaowen went downstairs to do some work. Zheng Hong touched his aching arm and smiled at himself.

He clearly knew that Shui Zhizi was King Rui's assistant, but he still meddled in her affairs.

He would never do such a unnecessary thing in the past, especially since he had just been threatened by Shui Zhizi.

Half an hour later Xiaowen came back, but the people Xiaowen sent out also came back.

"Your Highness, there are people watching outside all the shops in Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building. I have checked and they are Prince Rui's men."

"Fighting against King Rui's men?"

"It's not a match, but the people of King Rui arrived early, and the people we arranged were discovered by King Rui's people as soon as they arrived. They asked us if we were from the Zhan Palace."

"I saw that King Rui had arranged a lot of people, so I brought our people back."

Zheng Hong smiled seemingly indifferently. It seemed that King Rui attached great importance to Shui Zhizi.

Yes, King Rui’s behavior today has proved that compared to him, the War King, he prefers Shui Zhizi, an ordinary person.

But even though he knew that Shui Zhizi had a better relationship with Prince Rui and trusted Prince Rui more, Zheng Hong still couldn't help but ask.

"What's the current situation of Mingyuan Hall, which had an accident today?"

Mingyuantang and Corning Building now have branches, so Zheng Hongcai said this.

"The free clinic has already started. There are more people than usual, but many of them should be here to see Dr. Wu Kai's condition."

"I heard that Boss Shui bought some people an hour ago, apparently to serve as guards."

Xiao Wen probably guessed that his prince seemed to be asking about Mingyuan Hall but was actually asking about Boss Shui.

Sure enough, Xiaowen’s words made Zheng Hong raise his head.

"That's her style." Shui Zhizi is not someone who will sit and wait for death.

But how could such a random person have the ability to be a bodyguard? Shui Zhizi still lacked experience and had no connections.

Zheng Hong’s first reaction was to consider whether to send some guards to Shui Zhizi.

But when he came to his senses, Zheng Hong laughed at himself again. He was willing to give it, but Shui Zhizi might not be willing to accept it.

"Your Majesty, should I send a few more people to keep an eye on Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building? If there are any problems with Boss Shui, Your Majesty will know in time."

Zheng Hong stared at Xiao Wen for a long time after hearing this, but finally nodded and said, "Find someone capable to go over and follow Shui Zhizi."

"Yes." Xiaowen silently praised himself for his cleverness.

Zheng Hong sighed helplessly as he watched Xiao Wen leave. Even the people around him could see his special feelings for Shui Zhizi.

That's right. In fact, his behavior was very obvious. If someone else had threatened him like this and tried to sow discord between him and King Rui, he would have dealt with that person long ago.

Even if he is protected by King Rui and cannot harm anyone for the time being, he will not let anyone have an easy time.

No matter how capable that person is, he won't care. To him, loyalty is more important than ability.

However, everything he did now was to protect Shui Zhizi, even if Shui Zhizi didn't need it.

It would be difficult for Shui Zhizi to seek revenge on Ying Wan'er on her own, so Shui Zhizi chose to cooperate with King Rui, but Shui Zhizi would never completely put her fate in the hands of others.

Just like Shui Zhizi didn't tell anyone that her best business was actually the sale of medicinal herbs. She even had her own special medicinal field outside the capital.

And this time, Shui Zhizi will not leave the safety of herself and those around her to others.

Of course she knew that someone she bought casually would never work as a bodyguard, but the person she bought herself was more reliable than someone else's.

At worst, their indentures are still in their hands, so they can make the final decision on anything.

But guarding still requires some skills, so she still needs to go to King Rui for this matter.

"Boss Shui, are you sure you want just one?" King Rui asked again. He didn't know what the point was for Shui Zhizi to have a martial arts master? At least five or six would be needed.

"Your Highness, I only need one. This person doesn't need to be very skilled in martial arts, but he must have good character and be able to listen to my instructions. He must not think too highly of himself."

King Rui waved his hand and said, "Boss Shui, don't worry. I have led troops to fight for so many years, and I still have many people like you around me. I will send someone to your place tomorrow to listen to your command."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Don't worry, I will return the person to you after I have finished my business."

"I have nothing to worry about you, my king."

After Shui Zhizi finished her work, she hurried back to Mingyuan Hall. Her master was still injured, so she asked Dazhuang to look after him when she came out. However, Dazhuang still had things to do in Corning Building, so Shui Zhizi was very pressed for time.

"Your Highness, what can just one person do?" asked Shi, the steward of Prince Rui's mansion, puzzled.
