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

The stunned expressions of everyone in the hall made Qi Zhiyu chuckle.

Her laughter brought the Duke of Wei back to his senses quickly.

"The princess's actions are truly unbecoming of a great nation," the Duke of Wei said, shaking his head in disapproval.

"Princess, you can wait for the border soldiers to pass before killing them, or you can take your time."

"Letting them kill each other... is really..."

Emperor Kangwu leaned back on the dragon throne, staring at the Duke of Wei with a half-smile.

That old guy has very little skill; he only had that kind of drive when he was young.

As people get older, all they think about is power struggles and personal gain.

Now that his granddaughter has wiped out the Siyun tribe, this old man is still nitpicking.

Just as Emperor Kangwu was about to speak, Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement, "Duke of Wei, you're not actually taking this seriously, are you?"

Not to mention the Duke of Wei, even Emperor Kangwu was taken aback.

Was Chen An joking just now?

Emperor Kangwu had learned his lesson and looked directly at Prince Rui.

He noticed that his eldest son was looking at Chen An with a smile in his eyes, full of admiration.

His confident and unperturbed demeanor reassured Emperor Kangwu.

Indeed, in a situation like this, there's no need for him to show up.

Chen An can handle this on his own!

Duke Wei frowned: "Was the princess just making fun of this old minister and all the civil and military officials?"

Qi Zhiyu exclaimed in surprise, "No way? What I just said about the Duke of Wei and all the other officials... you really believed it?"

Everyone's face darkened.

They were tricked, weren't they?

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "As you all know, the people of the Siyun tribe practice martial arts from a young age, and they are all brave and skilled in battle."

"Even if they fight each other... don't you think that would still take a considerable amount of time?"

The civil and military officials were at a loss for what expression to wear.

To say they actually believed it... wouldn't that be admitting they're brainless?

The key point is that they subconsciously believed Princess Chen'an's calm and composed demeanor just now.

I didn't think about it at all.

How can you blame them?

Grand Secretary Zhang sighed inwardly.

Princess Chen'an is amazing!

Every time she appears, everything she says, from her expression and tone of voice, is purposeful.

With her actions, she directly took control of the entire situation.

The King of Wu's men appeared to be confronting her, but who knew that this wasn't part of her scheme?

She used her opponent to achieve her goals.

Grand Secretary Zhang recalled every single thing Qi Zhiyu had been involved in, and the more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

Princess Chen'an's abilities...

He was incredibly grateful that he had chosen to side with Prince Rui.

Since the throne will eventually be inherited by Prince Rui, supporting Prince Rui first won't be considered a betrayal of his principles.

The Duke of Wei was furious.

At his age, he's been repeatedly tricked by Qi Zhiyu. Where can he put his face?

He suppressed his anger and asked, "If it's not as the princess just said, then how did the princess manage to kill tens of thousands of people from the Siyun tribe in such a short time?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and reached out to pick up a chopstick from the table.

Before anyone could figure out what she was going to do, suddenly everything went blurry.

Immediately afterwards, a soft sound was heard, as if something had fallen.

Everyone instinctively looked over and saw only the chopsticks lying inside the threshold of the main hall.

Why did Princess Chen'an throw a chopstick?

"Hiss..." Several ministers raised their hands and touched their necks.

pain!

Burning pain.

They touched it all, then held their hands up to their eyes. There was no blood, but it still hurt.

"Peace be with you, Your Majesty." Emperor Kangwu, sitting above, naturally saw everything that had happened.

Although he couldn't grasp the details, he knew what had happened.

"I'm just demonstrating to you ministers what I did," Qi Zhiyu said slowly with a slight smile.

"However, when dealing with the Siyun tribe, I used a bow and arrow, and the arrows would cut my neck directly. This minimized the loss of strength."

At this point, Qi Zhiyu even boasted to Emperor Kangwu, "Grandfather, I didn't damage anything in this hall."

Emperor Kangwu glanced at the chopsticks lying on the ground inside the threshold and laughed, "Good child!"

The civil official was filled with surprise and doubt.

But the expressions on the faces of the military officers were extremely complex.

They are skilled in martial arts, and many of them have even fought on the battlefield.

That's why they were terrified... no, no, they were horrified.

A single chopstick brushed against the necks of so many ministers; that spot, if only a little bit further in...

Those ministers didn't just have a thin red mark on their necks; they were cut open and bleeding profusely.

Most importantly, the chopstick fell to the ground when it reached the threshold, exhausted.

Is this a coincidence?

Rather than a coincidence, they believed it was Princess Chen'an's control over her strength.

If it were replaced with a sharp arrow, under Princess Chen'an's deliberate control... those military officers swallowed hard, their hearts pounding.

A picture slowly unfolded in their minds.

Princess Chen'an stood on a high position, holding a bow and arrow. With one shot, countless sprays of blood erupted within the Siyun tribe.

This kind of killing, several, a dozen... or even more at a time.

This is true slaughter!

Most people, after killing a few, dozens, or hundreds of people, will either be exhausted or their fighting spirit will wear off, and they will become afraid of killing themselves.

Princess Chen'an remained completely unmoved.

His heart remained unmoved, and his steady hand ensured that every arrow hit its mark.

When the arrow flies, it reaps countless lives.

What truly terrified them was that Princess Chen'an used the least amount of effort to save the most lives.

Shooting at the head, chest, etc., will consume too much of the arrow's power.

Princess Chen'an only used a sharp arrow to slit her neck... a small cost, a great gain...

However, all of this is impossible without exceptional strength, keen insight, and absolute control.

So... what kind of monster did the King of Wu provoke?

The generals who sided with the King of Wu were filled with despair!

Only a few neutrals secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, they were not pulled onto the ship by the King of Wu.

"Sigh..." Qi Zhiyu sighed, "Actually, this method isn't the most effortless."

"The easiest way would have been to use poison. Unfortunately, the situation in the Siyun tribe doesn't allow for that."

"When I arrived, they had just finished breakfast. Waiting until noon would take too long."

"If it's taken by inhaling the powder, the wind in the mountains is too strong, so the effect won't be good."

"I'll just have to do it myself."

Everyone: "..."

They extracted several important pieces of information.

Princess Chen'an is very skilled with poison.

Furthermore, she killed all the people of the Siyun tribe in less than a morning.

Didn't you hear that she didn't even want to wait for the people from the Siyun tribe to cook for her?

So... is Princess Chen'an really the reincarnation of Yama, the King of Hell?

Everyone instinctively looked at the King of Wu.

They really wanted to say, "Your Highness, why don't you just accept your fate?"

Losing to your own brother isn't shameful, is it?

Besides, losing face is better than losing your life!
