The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

The envoy's expression changed drastically, and he slammed his fist on the table, shouting, "You scoundrel!"

"Who do you think you are, daring to insult my tribe like this?"

"A tribe?" Qi Zhiyu scoffed. "It's just a slightly larger village."

"Having been sitting in a well with a narrow view of the sky for too long, do you really think you're someone important?"

The envoy trembled with rage. He abruptly turned to Emperor Kangwu: "Your Majesty, is this how you treat our tribe?"

Emperor Kangwu smiled slightly: "Why must the envoy be angry?"

"He's just a kid, outspoken and blunt."

Doesn't he feel anger inside?

If it weren't for the fact that conquering the Siyun tribe would be a losing proposition, I would have thought he would be sitting here talking to the tribe's envoy.

Grand Secretary Zhang couldn't help but admire in his heart that Princess Chen'an's every step was just right.

Her arrogance was not due to His Majesty's unwarranted favoritism.

Besides her own abilities, she always precisely addressed His Majesty's most pressing needs.

His Majesty wishes he could wipe out the entire Siyun tribe.

Princess Chen'an's angry rebuke was exactly what His Majesty wanted.

The envoy glared angrily at Emperor Kangwu: "Your Majesty..."

"We're all straightforward people, so it's easier for everyone to talk like this," the shaman said.

The messenger turned to look at him.

The high priest gave him a wink.

The envoy gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality, but we are truly exhausted from our journey."

"Then I'll go and rest first."

Leaving the banquet before it was over would be a huge loss of face for Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu smiled, but his eyes were icy cold: "In that case, please proceed."

The people who came were just the high shaman and the messenger from the Siyun tribe. Killing these few people would not have any impact on the Siyun tribe.

However, if the Siyun tribe launches a desperate counterattack or infiltrates the border region, the people living on the frontier will be in trouble.

He certainly couldn't gamble with the safety of the people.

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became awkward after the Siyun tribe members left.

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

They wanted to leave immediately, but His Majesty didn't move, so they couldn't leave at all.

But if I don't leave... it's like sitting on pins and needles, extremely uncomfortable.

"Princess Chen'an," Wei Yifeng said, "You are straightforward, but please be mindful of the occasion when you speak."

"Countless soldiers on the border sacrificed their lives to win the battle, forcing the Siyun tribe to come and negotiate peace."

"If the peace negotiations fail because of the princess's straightforwardness, what will become of the people on the border?"

"They have to live in constant fear, never knowing when the Siyun tribe will sneak in and wreak havoc on their homes?"

Wei Yifeng's face was somber. He didn't seem heartbroken or shout, but each word he uttered was unusually heavy.

The more he acted this way, the more everyone felt the importance of the peace negotiations.

This peace negotiation was heavily soaked with the blood and lives of the border people and soldiers.

How could Qi Zhiyu be so willful about such an important matter?

The way everyone looked at Qi Zhiyu changed.

A fleeting hint of schadenfreude flashed across Jiang Shuyi's eyes.

Didn't Qi Zhiyu use the greater good of the nation to pressure her last time?

Now, how should Qi Zhiyu respond?

Qi Zhiyu tilted her head slightly, looking at Wei Yifeng with a puzzled expression: "The problem you mentioned is actually very easy to solve."

"Why not just wipe out the Siyun tribe?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qi Zhiyu with mixed feelings.

She's really talking without any sense of the situation.

If the Siyun tribe were so easy to eliminate, would they have gone to all this trouble?

Wei Yifeng said coldly, "Princess Chen'an, you have no idea about the situation of the Siyun tribe."

"They were in the middle of mountains, in a treacherous and complex terrain."

"The mountain roads are interconnected, and it would be impossible to mobilize all the imperial troops to deal with a small tribe like Siyun by relying on sheer numbers."

After Wei Yifeng finished speaking, he stared intently at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu asked casually, "So?"

Wei Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of anger rose up.

Putting aside the personal grudges between his Wei family and the Prince Rui's mansion, let's just talk about his role as a general in the court, fighting desperately on the frontier.

When it came to Qi Zhiyu, things became surprisingly light and airy.

Wei Yifeng felt extremely humiliated.

Wei Yifeng suddenly walked to the center of the hall, knelt down with a thud, and cried out in anguish, "Your Majesty!"

"Princess Chen'an's words will chill the hearts of the soldiers on the border!"

"Does Princess Chen'an think their desperate struggle is nothing more than a childish joke?"

"Peace be with you, Emperor Kangwu." He looked at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty."

"Why should we negotiate peace with such a shameless scoundrel as the mere Siyun tribe?"

"If we just do as I say and promote a few generals, we can definitely crush the Siyun tribe!"

"No way!" Wei Yifeng quickly objected.

Qi Zhiyu reminded him, "General Wei, His Majesty hasn't even spoken yet, and you've already made the decision for him. You're too hasty."

Wei Yifeng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention."

"How can the appointment and removal of generals be treated so lightly?"

"This concerns the safety of the nation and its people."

Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement, "How does General Wei know that the person I proposed is incompetent for that position and unable to annihilate the Siyun tribe?"

"How can we just try this out?" Wei Yifeng quickly retorted.

"Your Majesty," Qi Zhiyu said, looking at Emperor Kangwu.

"What suitable candidates do you have?" Upon hearing this question from Emperor Kangwu, Wei Yifeng's expression changed drastically.

Sitting to the side, King Wu, who had remained aloof from the matter, secretly wished he could strangle Qi Zhiyu to death!

She's a scourge!

He's such a troublemaker!

The Rui family is truly cunning. They deliberately let Qi Zhiyu make trouble for the envoy, thereby provoking Wei Yifeng's anger.

In this way, Qi Zhiyu can legitimately propose to replace the general!

Everyone in the court knew how much the Emperor wanted to eliminate the Siyun tribe.

Regardless of whether the Emperor is truly tempted or simply wants to favor Prince Rui, there is a high probability that he will promote a newcomer!

The King of Wu was filled with hatred.

Prince Rui has lived a secluded life for many years, and he has gradually become lax.

They have completely forgotten how despicable and shameless Prince Rui once was.

Now, with the addition of Qi Zhiyu, Prince Rui is truly like a tiger with wings!

How exactly did Qi Zhiyu's attack turn into the Emperor's plan to promote Prince Rui's men to replace the border generals?

Even without thinking, King Wu knew that the person Qi Zhiyu was going to recommend and promote was definitely King Rui!

Qi Zhiyu's every move was a trap!

"Of course," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Ever since I learned about this, I have disagreed with making peace with such a shameless tribe."

"They are insatiable and will not think that we negotiated peace because we were considering the bigger picture; on the contrary, they will think that we were afraid."

"From now on, they'll only push their luck!"
