Chapter 11: The Daughter of a Traitor (1)
So you should do everything according to your heart. As long as you do it, I will always support you."
Si Qingquan held Shui Zhizi's hand tightly with his backhand. His lips trembled for a long time but he couldn't say anything in the end. This was the second person besides Zhan Ting who said that he would be a good emperor.
Shui Zhizi always has a special magic. What she says and does always makes people believe it involuntarily, without even having to confirm it deliberately. Since that banquet, Si Qingquan no longer doubts Shui Zhizi in everything.
At this moment, Si Qingquan held Shui Zhizi's hand tightly, his eyes seemed to see into Shui Zhizi's heart. He thought, if this was all Shui Zhizi's calculation, then he, Si Qingquan, would probably lose in the matter of love.
But Si Qingquan can lose his feelings, but Emperor Dawei cannot lose.
"I'm sorry to trouble the Queen with the matter of taking a concubine." Si Qingquan let go of Shui Zhizi's hand that had been pinched red and stood up.
"I obey your command." Shui Zhizi bowed respectfully.
Si Qingquan turned and left, but when he reached the door he couldn't help asking, "Does the Queen know something?" Does she know what the Shuifeng Kingdom had done, and does she not want to stand on the side of the Shuifeng Kingdom?
Si Qingquan believed in Shui Zhizi's sincerity when she was with him, not because he felt that his emotional trap had worked. After spending some time together, Si Qingquan was already very clear that Shui Zhizi was very calm when it came to emotional matters, and at least would not fall as quickly as he did.
Si Qingquan just believed that Shui Zhizi was a sincere and kind person. A sincere and kind general who wanted to protect the people would not help Shui Fengguo after knowing what Shui Fengguo had done.
"What?" The voice was too soft and Shui Zhizi didn't hear it clearly.
"I say, I believe the Queen this time." Just this time, if Shui Zhizi does not use any tricks to get things done, then he will believe that Shui Zhizi is not only the daughter of Shuifeng Kingdom, but also a military general who cares about the people. No matter what happens between him and Shuifeng Kingdom in the future, he will save Shui Zhizi's life.
Jasmine, who had been waiting outside, became more and more annoyed when she heard Si Qingquan's incoherent words. Ever since Amo was transferred here, the distance between her and the young lady had become increasingly distant.
Although the young lady only uses Amo when she is with the emperor, and uses her at other times, the young lady also said that this is to reassure the emperor. But her mission is not just to monitor the young lady, so she has no idea how the young lady and the emperor get along.
In the following time, Shui Zhizi devoted herself to Si Qingquan's selection. Although Shui Zhizi disagreed with men's game of using women, she could not deny that for an emperor who was at a disadvantage, taking concubines was a very effective means of winning over power.
And the first person who came to Shui Zhizi to ask about the talent show was, unsurprisingly, Shui Fengguo.
Shui Fengguo failed to stop this matter in the court, so naturally he wanted Shui Zhizi to manipulate the selection of candidates.
Of course, after giving the order to Shui Zhizi, he did not forget to scold Shui Zhizi for being useless. If Shui Zhizi worked hard and was pregnant, he would not need to worry about the talent show.
Shui Zhizi, like before, went along with Shui Fengguo in everything and did whatever was beneficial to Si Qingquan.
Si Qingquan didn't ask about the talent show at all. Shui Zhizi knew that this was a test given to her by Si Qingquan. Whether she could pass this test would determine whether Si Qingquan could trust her as soon as possible.
Therefore, Shui Zhizi took the selection more seriously. Before the candidates entered the palace, Shui Zhizi had already decided on the final candidates and their ranks.
When this list appeared on Si Qingquan's desk, his shock was beyond words. Si Qingquan was shocked that Shui Zhizi's ability was far stronger than he had imagined, and he was even more shocked that Shui Zhizi had almost found a rival for him in the harem.
This was a perfect arrangement that even Si Qingquan could not have thought of, but why did Shui Zhizi know so much? Some of these people had never openly stood on his side. Could this be a coincidence?
In the list arranged by Shui Zhizi, those with high ranks were either clearly on his side as the emperor, or on his side without others knowing it. If there was any exception, Si Qingquan could say it was a coincidence, but there were no exceptions.
This is of course thanks to the client's memory. In her previous life, when she married Prince Si He, she spent a lot of effort on interpersonal relationships. She knows all the forces in the capital very well. Moreover, Si Qingquan lost in his previous life, and almost everything that can be exposed has been exposed.
But if this wasn't a coincidence, then Shui Zhizi was undoubtedly helping him wholeheartedly. Why? Si Qingquan was puzzled.
It was obvious that Si Qingquan was nice to Shui Zhizi in the beginning because he wanted her to help him. Later, when he found that he liked Shui Zhizi, he hoped countless times that Shui Zhizi would be on his side. But now that the result he wanted was right in front of him, he couldn't accept it with peace of mind.
If Shui Zhizi was loyal to Shui Fengguo, he could still deal with her mercilessly after using her. If Shui Zhizi was even a little bit loyal to him, he could spare her life after finishing the matter with Shui Fengguo and let her leave the capital incognito.
But what if Shui Zhizi is devoted to him? What if Shui Zhizi can see through all his exploits and all his hypocrisy, but still chooses to betray her father and be devoted to him, what should he do? Si Qingquan doesn't know.
Shui Zhizi certainly didn't understand Si Qingquan's struggle. She just felt that Si Qingquan was treating her better and better, and he almost wanted to put all of David's valuable things in her palace.
Shui Zhizi assumed that Si Qingquan was satisfied with her arrangement of the selection. But if he was satisfied, why didn't he order the selection girls to enter the palace?
Things were postponed again and again, Shui Zhizi's leg injury had already healed, and the selection of concubines had not yet begun. The court officials all thought that the queen Shui Zhizi was playing tricks again, after all, the emperor had already agreed to the selection of concubines in the court.
However, the person who said this was reprimanded by Si Qingquan.
Shui Zhizi knew about this because Shui Fengguo sent someone to tell her that she had done a great job and that it would be best to postpone the audition for another month.
Shui Zhizi certainly wouldn't explain that she didn't delay, she just keenly felt that there must be something mysterious about the one-month deadline.
Shui Zhizi thought about all the things that might be related to the time of one month, but she never thought that this matter would be related to Zuo Zhanting.
The Jin Kingdom has made a comeback, and it is no surprise that Zuo Zhanting is going to go to war again.
When Shui Zhizi found out about this, she wanted to slap herself. How could she have forgotten about Jin Guo?
