"Yu'er, are you sure there are no survivors from the Siyun tribe?" Prince Rui asked.

"Or will you make the arrangements, and then someone else will take over and clean up the mess?"

It wasn't that he didn't trust his child; it was mainly because the people of the Siyun tribe were ruthless.

They're capable of doing the most heinous and depraved things.

"No, they're all dead." Qi Zhiyu was absolutely certain.

She killed them by following their kinship ties; she spared no one who was connected to them.

Prince Rui was relieved and gave a general overview of what the King of Wu might do later on.

Qi Jingchen also shared his thoughts.

Qi Jingxi understood his purpose; he was to take up a post in the Ministry of Personnel, and he had to make the most of it.

Qi Zhiyu listened to these matters but did not offer any opinions.

She was really tired after making this trip.

Even though this body has been modified by her soul power, it still can't compare to her body in the original world.

It's barely enough.

So, after listening to her father's analysis, Qi Zhiyu went back lazily and lay down to rest.

Everything at Prince Rui's residence was proceeding smoothly, but those on Prince Wu's side were all restless.

They were all thinking about one question: Is this Princess Chen'an even human?

Did he single-handedly crush the Siyun tribe?

How is that possible?

But Princess Chen'an spoke with absolute certainty.

All they can do is wait.

In a few days, will the heads of the Siyun tribe be transported to the capital?

After resting for two days, Qi Zhiyu recovered and went to the street to find some snacks.

Some snacks taste best when they're freshly made at the stall.

"Royal Sister." Qi Zhiyu had just bought some fried dough sticks, taken a bite, and turned around to see Qi Rongyao.

This time, Qi Rongyao was different from her usual arrogant and domineering self; she greeted her politely.

Qi Zhiyu bit into the fried dough stick, a smile appearing in her eyes.

Qi Rongyao really can't even pretend properly.

The courtesies were sufficient, but the disdain in Qi Rongyao's eyes was unmistakable.

They were still too young.

"I sent a visiting card, but my elder sister didn't have time to see me," Qi Rongyao asked with a smile. "Is my elder sister very busy?"

"Yes, I'm busy." Qi Zhiyu nodded.

Qi Rongyao's smile froze: "My royal sister doesn't even have time to see me?"

"No." Qi Zhiyu answered crisply, which made Qi Rongyao so angry that she almost cursed out loud.

You don't have time to see her, but you have time to eat this cheap fried dough stick by the roadside, right?

"Is that so?" Qi Rongyao tried hard to suppress her anger and forced a stiff smile. "It's mainly because my royal sister helped my father, and I wanted to thank her."

"Is my elder sister avoiding me because... she finds me annoying?"

Qi Zhiyu nodded earnestly and said sincerely, "Yes."

Qi Rongyao's face turned green instantly.

What kind of nonsense is Qi Zhiyu spouting?

"Princess, you've gone too far!" Jiang Shuyi rushed over and angrily accused.

"You're sisters, how could you say that and hurt her feelings?"

Qi Zhiyu staggered, and the maid beside her nervously supported her: "Princess."

"Jiang Shuyi, is it because your grandfather was possessed by a Gu worm for the King of Wu that you harbor such resentment towards me?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Jiang Shuyi sadly.

"That was also the Duke of Wei's own choice. He said that as a subject, he was loyal to the royal family."

"Could it be... that he was just saying it, and that he didn't actually mean it?"

"It's all my fault. I took it seriously. I can understand why you're angry with me."

"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry, I was unaware that your grandfather, the Duke of Wei, was hypocritical."

Jiang Shuyi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her whole body was so cold that she lost all feeling.

Is Qi Zhiyu trying to force her grandfather to his death by saying this?

Wasn't her grandfather just needlessly attracted the Gu worms and sacrificed himself for nothing?

"Princess, my grandfather would never have meant that!" Jiang Shuyi quickly retorted.

"This is a matter between you sisters, why drag my grandfather into it?" Jiang Shuyi said, feeling wronged.

With the help of her maid, Qi Zhiyu stood up straight: "Jiang Shuyi, you also know that this is a matter between us sisters?"

"You, a mere subject's daughter, are meddling in the affairs of the royal family..." Qi Zhiyu asked with a curious smile, "Is this the confidence your grandfather, the Duke of Wei, gave you?"

Jiang Shuyi's face was completely drained of color, turning pale and bluish, even more unsightly than a dead person's face.

Jiang Shuyi knelt down with a thud: "Princess, I misspoke."

If we keep talking like this, their family will never be okay!

Jiang Shuyi readily admitted her mistake, while Qi Zhiyu merely sneered, "As for me, I don't really know how to punish this either."

"You should go back and ask your grandfather."

Jiang Shuyi swayed and almost fainted.

Qi Zhiyu... is too ruthless!

If Qi Zhiyu were to punish her, there would still be some leeway.

If her grandfather were to come... then naturally he would be as strict as possible!

Jiang Shuyi felt like slapping herself twice.

Why did she think she could use Qi Rongyao to suppress Qi Zhiyu?

"Royal sister," Qi Rongyao pouted and said pitifully, "Jiang Shuyi was also upset because she saw me sad."

"We're sisters, why are you bothering me?"

"Could it be that you despise me simply because your imperial uncle desires the position of crown prince?"

"Could it be that in my elder sister's heart, that place surpasses blood ties and family affection?"

Qi Zhiyu looked at Qi Rongyao and said, "Good job, you've improved."

They've learned to guide public opinion.

Look at the people standing in the distance; they're all craning their necks and pricking up their ears, waiting to see what happens next.

Qi Zhiyu said disdainfully, "When you sent me the invitation, I already told you that I was busy and didn't have time to see you."

"Yes, my elder sister has done a great service." Qi Rongyao said with a wry smile, "My elder sister destroyed the Siyun tribe, she is a great hero."

"I am not worthy to see my elder sister, nor am I worthy to waste her time."

"That's right." Qi Zhiyu confirmed Qi Rongyao's statement.

Qi Rongyao almost lost control of her expression.

She set a trap for Qi Zhiyu, and Qi Zhiyu actually went along with it and admitted it?

Why is she not worthy?

If anyone is unworthy, it's Qi Zhiyu, this country girl, who's unworthy!

Qi Rongyao cursed inwardly, but was secretly delighted.

Has Qi Zhiyu fallen victim to this?

Haha!

Very good!

She could finally vent her anger for her father!

She's pretty amazing!

"Princess..." A servant rushed over, "The things you requested have been prepared."

"That's good, send them all over. Don't delay them." Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly.

"Qi Rongyao, you're in the Prince's mansion, so you probably don't know how lively things have been in the capital these past few days?" Qi Zhiyu asked Qi Rongyao.

Qi Rongyao's expression changed: "I know, everyone is discussing my elder sister's great achievements."

She didn't know why the news spread so quickly, with everyone praising Qi Zhiyu!

As for?

It was just the destruction of the Siyun tribe.

It's not like no one has ever won a battle before, but we've never seen it discussed by the people like this.

Qi Zhiyu shook her head in disappointment: "These past few days, the clinic has been giving away medicine for free, and people from the capital and surrounding areas have all gone to collect it... This is the biggest excitement in the capital."

"What are my achievements compared to those of the common people?"

"Qi Rongyao, are the common people... so insignificant in your eyes?"
