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

Everyone: "..."

This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit!

The civil and military officials looked at the Duke of Wei with concern.

They secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Duke of Wei's expression was normal.

As expected of the Duke of Wei, he is indeed magnanimous and did not get angry. Truly...

puff!

Duke Wei spat out a mouthful of blood.

Boom!

Duke Wei fell straight to the ground.

The noise made everyone instinctively shrink their necks; it sounded painful.

"Hey, what's wrong with Duke Wei?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled. "The Gu worm shouldn't be acting up."

Everyone: "..."

Does she have any shame at all?

She made someone so angry they vomited blood and fainted, yet she could still feign innocence without batting an eye... How did she manage to do that?

They have even thicker skin than these old guys who have been in the imperial court for decades. Could this be a rare talent?

What everyone is thinking is not important; we need to see how the Duke of Wei is doing first.

The Duke of Wei was carried away and treated by the imperial physician; he was fine.

It's just a case of anger and frustration; a short rest will do the trick.

The Siyun tribe is gone, and the envoy and the high shaman have all been imprisoned.

The alliance naturally fell through.

With mixed feelings, everyone dispersed.

Qi Zhiyu didn't linger; she had just returned and naturally needed to rest.

Prince Rui was kept behind by Emperor Kangwu, accompanied by Grand Secretary Zhang.

"Eldest son, Chen'an is an extraordinary child," Emperor Kangwu exclaimed.

He hadn't expected that Chen An would actually manage to eliminate the Si Yun tribe.

Prince Rui calmly stated, "Traveling thousands of miles in half a month to completely annihilate the Siyun tribe... this is something no ordinary person could accomplish!"

"If it weren't for Chen An, we would still be suffering under the tyranny of the Si Yun tribe and being manipulated by them!"

"Father, Chen'an... This achievement is unparalleled!"

Grand Secretary Zhang: "..."

Prince Rui's ability to take advantage of situations is becoming increasingly sophisticated.

His Majesty praising Princess Chen'an is naturally without any problem.

Princess Chen'an has indeed made a great contribution.

Can't King Ke Rui be a little humble?

Emperor Kangwu laughed heartily upon hearing this, saying, "Well said!"

"I just don't know what reward Chen An wants."

He was also troubled.

I don't know what to give my child.

Chen An solved his biggest problem in one fell swoop.

The things that had bothered him for so many years have finally disappeared, and he is truly relieved.

"Being able to share the Emperor's burdens makes Chen'an happiest," Prince Rui said with a light laugh.

The filial piety on his face was absolutely genuine.

Emperor Kangwu felt incredibly comforted, for his eldest son's family was truly filial.

Look, Chen An knew that the Si Yun tribe disgusted him, so he went alone to wipe out the Si Yun tribe.

Chen An did this to increase his chances of becoming the crown prince, and it was a very real thing!

What about the fourth brother?

What they did was collude with those officials, binding their interests together... It's really obvious who is better and who is worse.

Grand Secretary Zhang observed everything and had to admit that the Prince Rui's family was truly shrewd.

Even when seizing power, the Prince Rui family always stepped on the grounds that His Majesty cared about most.

Put the people first.

If Prince Rui, with such a talent, did not become the crown prince, he would feel that the heavens had no eyes!

Qi Zhiyu's abilities truly intimidated all the civil and military officials.

The news quickly reached Wei Yifeng's ears.

He hurriedly went to the Duke of Wei's residence to visit the Duke.

"Duke, are you... alright?" Wei Yifeng asked with concern.

Duke Wei's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

He sat in the chair, looking sickly, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Wei Yifeng was very worried.

If the Duke of Wei falls, they will lose a great ally.

"He's not dead yet," the Duke of Wei said in a deep voice.

"You know what happened in the palace," the Duke of Wei asked. "What are your thoughts?"

"I find this utterly absurd." Wei Yifeng simply didn't believe it.

He had fought against the Siyun tribe before, and he knew better than anyone how troublesome they were.

He did launch surprise attacks on the Siyun tribe while he was stationed at the border.

However, due to the terrain, it failed every time!

So Qi Zhiyu went there on her own and wiped out the Siyun tribe?

Is this a joke?

"If Qi Zhiyu dares to say it in front of everyone, then it must be true." Duke Wei has accepted reality.

Wei Yifeng frowned deeply, thinking, "Damn Qi Zhiyu."

His triumphant return was entirely due to his ability to intimidate the Siyun tribe, which led them to negotiate peace.

Now that Qi Zhiyu has completely wiped out the Siyun tribe, his so-called meritorious service is nothing but a joke.

Is Qi Zhiyu deliberately targeting their family?

She's happy when she sees them unhappy, right?

"Your Excellency, are you feeling alright?" Wei Yifeng asked worriedly. "That Gu worm... is it really alright?"

Duke Wei sneered: "Qi Zhiyu said it in front of everyone, even if there is pain, it will be within a quarter of an hour."

"I doubt she would dare to lie!"

Wei Yifeng sighed, "You've suffered."

Hearing this, the Duke of Wei felt quite pleased: "It's nothing for me to make some sacrifices for the King of Wu."

"As for you, your rewards haven't been issued yet."

"You can use your military merits to reclaim your father's title."

The Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion must not fall.

Wei Yifeng nodded; he thought so too.

Although he was a general, his rank was incomparable to his family's noble title.

Only when his father's title is restored can their family operate in a better manner.

At that time, I can do more for the King of Wu.

After visiting the Duke of Wei, Wei Yifeng went to the Prince of Wu's residence.

After recovering, the King of Wu became terrifyingly sinister.

He had applied medicine to all the scratches on his body, but the pain in his wounds constantly reminded him of his failure to steal a chicken and instead lose the rice!

"How did the Gu worms end up on me?" King Wu couldn't understand.

The confidant nervously swallowed: "Your Highness, that Princess Chen'an... is too strange."

The King of Wu glared at his trusted aide and said, "What nonsense!"

Qi Zhiyu is not normal, doesn't he know that?

Originally, he intended to use the Siyun tribe to drive Qi Zhiyu out of the capital.

In the end, he became a laughing stock.

Not only did he fail to eliminate Qi Zhiyu, he also incurred her a favor.

A life-saving grace... What can a mere Assistant Minister of Personnel do?

He always owes Qi Zhiyu!

If he continues to target Qi Zhiyu, wouldn't he appear ungrateful in the eyes of outsiders?

Most importantly... even those who stand on his side hate the Siyun tribe to the core.

Regardless of their stance, those who sided with Qi Zhiyu after eliminating the Siyun tribe were grateful and admired him.

Outsiders are ultimately no good; just look at how unwilling the Duke of Wei looked today.

"Your Highness, the Duke of Wei also intends for my father to regain his title," Wei Yifeng said.

He had only gone there to sound out the Duke of Wei's opinion.

The King of Wu nodded in satisfaction: "With your military achievements and the title of Duke of Wei, it is almost certain that your father will regain his title."

Only when Marquis Weiyuan returns can he handle the rest of the affairs and deal with Qi Zhiyu and Prince Rui!
