Qi Zhiyu looked at the Duke of Wei as if he were a fool.

The Duke of Wei angrily questioned, "Why does the princess view this old minister in such a way?"

"This is the first time I've ever seen a fool become a duke." Qi Zhiyu's words left everyone around speechless.

Isn't Princess Chen'an being a bit too arrogant?

Speaking to the Duke of Wei like that, she doesn't consider Prince Rui at all.

Don't they know how to build connections for Prince Rui?

Why does it benefit Prince Rui and her to offend everyone so badly?

The crowd didn't understand.

Of course, Qi Zhiyu didn't need their understanding.

The Duke of Wei was so angry that his veins were bulging, but he could only try his best to endure it and dared not lash out.

Qi Zhiyu was in a great mood: "I just said that after you take the medicine, I will lure the Gu worms to your body."

"Do you understand the medicine? Do you understand?"

Duke Wei's face was ashen: "Since the princess has a method to treat the Gu worms, why not give the King of Wu the medicine to eradicate them completely?"

"On the contrary, using such a dangerous method as transferring with Gu worms is too risky for Your Highness."

Duke Wei naturally didn't want that disgusting Gu worm, but he couldn't say it outright.

The only option was to push the King of Wu to the front as a shield.

This statement also makes it seem as if he is always thinking of the King of Wu.

Of course, none of the civil and military officials failed to understand the meaning behind his words.

We've all been around for years; if we didn't even have this much brains, we wouldn't be qualified to stand here.

Qi Zhiyu sighed helplessly, looking wearily at Emperor Kangwu: "Grandfather, how exactly did he manage to get to this position?"

Emperor Kangwu smiled slightly and said in a measured tone, "Chen'an, the Duke of Wei is getting old."

Duke Wei trembled in disbelief.

He didn't dare to glare at His Majesty, but His Majesty's words went too far.

What does it mean that he is old?

Is it because he is old and Princess Chen'an should give him some respect, or is it because he is old and senile that he is stupid and clumsy?

His Majesty's favoritism towards the people of Prince Rui's residence is truly excessive!

"Alright." Qi Zhiyu finally gave in to her grandfather.

"Duke of Wei, the medicines have different effects."

"It's like putting a cloth on top of mung beans and then sprinkling red beans on top; the two kinds of beans won't mix together."

"You can't mix two kinds of beans together. If you put a cloth over them, the beans will separate automatically."

"Now my medicine can be taken in advance, but it's ineffective after being infected by the Gu worm."

Duke Wei gritted his teeth, and anyone could see his reluctance.

"Duke of Wei, are you going to take your medicine or not? If not, we'll have to find someone else," Qi Zhiyu urged impatiently.

"Don't just shout slogans so loudly, but chicken out when it comes to real business."

Duke Wei's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Then please ask the princess to prescribe the medicine."

Qi Zhiyu snapped her fingers: "That's more like it."

"Don't say one thing and do another; would you even be human?"

Duke Wei didn't want to say anything right now, he was just thinking about how he got to this point.

After carefully reviewing everything that had just happened, the Duke of Wei swayed and almost fainted from anger.

Qi Zhiyu took advantage of his desire to align his interests with those of the King of Wu.

Now that Wei Yifeng has returned with great merit, his granddaughter will definitely marry him.

What he had his eye on was the King of Wu behind the Wei family.

At this time, King Wu was in trouble, and it was perfectly logical for him to take the opportunity to ask Qi Zhiyu to treat him.

Regardless of whether Qi Zhiyu succeeds or not, he can use Qi Zhiyu to suppress Prince Rui.

But unfortunately...

Duke Wei closed his eyes in regret; he had fallen for Qi Zhiyu's provocation.

Expressing loyalty, which is the most basic thing to do, has become the sharp blade that Qi Zhiyu wields against him!

What a Qi Zhiyu!

What a fine Princess Chen'an!

Such meticulous thinking!

Don't miss any opportunity to make a difference!

He had no doubt that even if he didn't stand up today, Qi Zhiyu would find other opportunities to deal with him in the future.

The Duke of Wei's mansion and the Prince of Rui's mansion are destined to be mortal enemies!

Soon a bowl of medicine was brought out, prepared exactly according to the prescription given by Qi Zhiyu.

That bowl of medicine was neither too hot nor too cold; the temperature was just right.

But the Duke of Wei held it in his hand, yet it felt incredibly hot to handle.

He wished he could smash the bowl directly on Qi Zhiyu's head, and kill this scourge of a person instantly!

No matter how well he thought of it, it was useless; all eyes were on him.

At this moment, the Duke of Wei could only grit his teeth, close his eyes, and drink the bowl of medicine in one gulp!

"Princess, are you ready to treat the King of Wu now?" Duke Wei asked, feigning eagerness to do so.

He's already suffered so much loss, he might as well curry favor with the King of Wu.

That would make his sacrifice worthwhile.

Qi Zhiyu beckoned to the Duke of Wei, signaling him to come over.

"Now I'll cut your wrists open so the Gu worms can move smoothly," Qi Zhiyu said.

At Emperor Kangwu's signal, the young eunuch immediately presented Qi Zhiyu with a dagger.

Duke Wei strode over.

Now, he has no way out.

Rather than being reluctant, it's better to be generous and let the King of Wu see his determination to follow.

Qi Zhiyu grabbed the King of Wu's hand and lightly swiped his wrist. She did the same to the Duke of Wei.

Then, place their two wounds against each other.

She suddenly pulled the silver needles out of the King of Wu's body.

The King of Wu shuddered in fright, but the expected excruciating pain did not come.

He looked at Qi Zhiyu with surprise; she really did have a solution.

The King of Wu was happy, but the Duke of Wei's heart sank to the bottom.

Soon, the Duke of Wei noticed that his wrist was itchy.

He instinctively trembled slightly.

"Don't move," Qi Zhiyu said in a deep voice.

Duke Wei could only suppress his instinct to retreat and maintain his original posture.

The slight itch quickly disappeared, but instead of feeling relieved, he felt a chill run through his body.

"Alright." After saying that, Qi Zhiyu quickly took out the medicinal powder and applied it to the wrist of King Wu of Wei to stop the bleeding.

"Just bandage it properly," Qi Zhiyu instructed, and the imperial physicians and others naturally took care of the rest.

"I will prescribe a few more doses of medicine. The King of Wu will take it to remove the remaining poison. The Duke of Wei will take it to suppress the onset of the Gu worms."

Qi Zhiyu quickly wrote down the prescription.

Since the situation on King Wu's side was not good, he was naturally sent to a side hall to rest and change clothes.

Duke Wei did not leave. Since things were already like this, could things get any worse?

He just wanted to see how Qi Zhiyu would handle the situation.

Qi Zhiyu has completely offended the people of the Siyun tribe.

The Siyun tribe is a real problem.

"Your Majesty, since your prince is alright, we will not linger any longer and will return." the envoy said.

"Go back? Where are you going back to?" Qi Zhiyu glared at them coldly.

"After falsely accusing me, you think you can just walk away and pretend nothing happened?"

"Who gave you the nerve?"
