The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 160 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (4)

But now he can still see the suffering of the people and still think about doing things for them.

Shui Zhizi thought that Xin Zhuyou would be a great help to her in Lai Country.

Since it has been confirmed that he is someone who will be a help, Shui Zhizi certainly cannot let anything happen to Xin Zhuyou.

The doctor generously gave Xin Zhuyou all the various precious medicinal herbs brought from Dongmeng, including the water gardenia.

No matter how good the medicine was, Xin Zhuyou's injuries did not recover quickly.

They were in a hurry to travel, and after Xin Zhuyou rested in the inn for a day, they continued on their way to the capital of Lai State.

Xin Zhuyou had no time to recover from his injuries.

Although they were moving faster than the main force, the main force encountered many assassinations and inquiries along the way.

After a long time, someone will definitely notice that she, the Princess Dongmeng, and Xin Zhuyou, the wedding envoy from Lai State, are not in the team.

By then, people with ulterior motives will definitely find ways to find them, so the sooner they get to the capital of Lai State, the safer they will be.

While in a hurry, Xin Zhuyou rode on horseback despite his injuries.

In order to travel faster this time, they only brought two carriages. One was a larger one for Shui Zhizi and Yingfu, and the other was for their supplies along the way. The doctor who could not ride a horse sat in the front of the carriage, and the rest of the people traveled on horseback.

Now that Xin Zhuyou is injured, he can't ride a horse and needs to rest in the carriage.

Only Shui Zhizi's carriage was spacious and stable enough for patients.

But Xin Zhuyou kept refusing, saying it was unreasonable. When Shui Zhizi saw Xin Zhuyou saying this with embarrassment on his face, she suspected that Xin Zhuyou had been to other countries on this continent and was influenced by someone.

It is obvious that Lai State and Dongmeng do not care so much about the separation of men and women, and their customs are quite open.

Besides, there were Yingfu and her in the carriage, so there were three of them.

It wasn't like there were only a man and a woman riding in the same carriage, but Xin Zhuyou actually cared about it.

Shui Zhizi didn't realize that this was not just an issue between men and women.

Her identity is Princess Dongmeng.

Xin Zhuyou said those words just yesterday. In Xin Zhuyou's eyes, she is already the queen of Lai.

In addition to some other reasons, Xin Zhuyou would feel it was an offense to ride in the same car with Shui Zhizi.

"Third Prince, if there were two horses right now, Yingfu and I would go ride them right now.

But now there is only one horse, so one of me and Yingfu must be in the carriage.

Prince San, do you think it would be better if the three of us were in the carriage together, or if you and Yingfu, or you and I were in the carriage together?"

Xin Zhuyou lowered his head. That’s not what he meant.

He meant that he would not ride in the carriage, and did not mean to let the two women ride horses.

This is not just a question of men and women. There is no other prince in Lai who is willing to ride in the same carriage with him.

Because of his humble status, the other princes felt that riding in the same carriage with him would lower their status.

If the news that he and Princess Dongmeng rode in the same car together today were to get out, it would be bad for Princess Dongmeng.

But at this moment, Xin Zhuyou didn't want to give this reason.

Before Xin Zhuyou went to Dongmeng as an envoy of Lai State, he was prepared to be humiliated and looked down upon.

It was their Lai country that needed help, and since he was a child, he had suffered too much humiliation and was used to being looked down upon.

But after he arrived in Lai, few people would look down on him in front of him.

Even the famous and noble Princess Dongmeng.

She seemed unaware that the person standing in front of her was an envoy from a small country.

She had never looked at him with a condescending look. In fact, Xin Zhuyou could often see the admiration in Shui Zhizi's eyes.

When he wanted to help the refugees, when he didn't bother with the refugees who hurt him.

Xin Zhuyou cherishes the time when others treat him as an ordinary person, as someone equal to them.

This is also the reason why he kept watching Shui Zhizi practice horse riding at the stable.

The other princes and princesses of Lai Kingdom did not take his suggestion seriously.

I will not change what I do because of his suggestion.

Even though King Xin Zhuyin of Lai clearly thought he was useful and needed his strategies, he still suppressed and despised him.

That's why he always goes to the horse farm. Shui Zhizi would never have thought that he hopes that Shui Zhizi can practice horse riding better than Shui Zhizi herself.

He didn't want Shui Zhizi to know his background after arriving in Lai State and feel that it was a wrong choice to listen to his advice.

But Xin Zhuyou also knew that Shui Zhizi could still treat him equally because she didn't know his background.

When Shui Zhizi went to Lai State and saw the attitudes of other princes and princesses of Lai State towards him, he would definitely change his attitude.

Xin Zhuyou didn't want to wait until Shui Zhizi went to Lai State and discovered these things. He felt ashamed to think that he had ridden in the same carriage with him, and even felt disgusted like the other princes.

And if this kind of thing gets out, people will definitely talk about it.

He has gotten used to it over the years, but Shui Zhizi, who has always been pampered, will definitely mind.

In fact, Shui Zhizi already had a pretty good idea of ​​the situation in the Lai Kingdom's royal court, and she also knew Xin Zhuyou's life experience very well.

But she just thought it was amazing that Xin Zhuyou had been able to rely on himself all the way to his current position and become a famous military strategist prince.

I even feel it's a pity. If it weren't for Xin Zhuyou's background, perhaps he would be the one who could make Lai country better and better.

At this time, Shui Zhizi had no idea that Xin Zhuyou, who seemed neither humble nor arrogant in front of her and in front of Dong Meng's court officials, was actually very inferior in his bones.

Xin Zhuyou has always disguised himself well in front of Shui Zhizi, or rather, he disguises himself well in front of everyone.

It took Shui Zhizi a long time to discover Xin Zhuyou's inferiority complex.

Shui Zhizi thought that she was being measured in her actions, but it was only because Xin Zhuyou was afraid that his approach would make Shui Zhizi unhappy or bring bad news to her. At this moment, Shui Zhizi didn't know the complexity of Xin Zhuyou's heart.

Seeing that Xin Zhuyou had no intention of taking the carriage, she frowned.

"I will not allow a seriously injured person to ride a horse. Third Prince, you have the responsibility to protect my safety.

As the eldest princess of Dongmeng, I am also obliged to prevent any harm to the envoys from the State of Lai.

Third Prince, please get on the carriage quickly, and we will hurry on our way."

Under Shui Zhizi's insistence, Xin Zhuyou finally got on the carriage with Shui Zhizi and Yingfu.

When Shui Zhizi had a stern face and seemed very angry, Xin Zhuyou couldn't say anything to refuse.

Xin Zhuyou told himself that it was because Shui Zhizi was the eldest princess of Dongmeng and the State of Lai needed help from Dongmeng, so he didn't want to make Shui Zhizi angry and couldn't say no.
