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

King Wu naturally felt the gazes of the crowd, and his eyes turned cold.

What do these guys mean?

Those were just things Qi Zhiyu said herself; who actually saw them?

Did they see it with their own eyes?

The King of Wu glanced at the Duke of Wei.

The Duke of Wei praised, "The princess is skilled in martial arts."

"Unfortunately, to verify this, we need to rush to the border. This round trip... I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time to execute the envoy and the great shaman of the Siyun tribe."

"His Majesty's words are law, and the decree has been issued. Now, we are in a bit of a dilemma."

"Difficult?" Qi Zhiyu didn't quite understand. "What's difficult about it?"

"The heads of the Siyun tribe, used as evidence, have all been burned. How can you prove it immediately?" Duke Wei asked unhappily.

Is Qi Zhiyu out of her mind?

Didn't we just talk about this?

"The head was burned off?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused. "Duke Wei, who told you that?"

Duke Wei sneered, "Qi Zhiyu really won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin."

"They..." Duke Wei pointed to the two generals who had returned from the border.

The general immediately waved his hand: "Duke of Wei, I never said that the head was burned."

The Duke of Wei stared at him in astonishment: "Didn't you just say...?"

The general shook his head and stated the facts: "This humble general never said anything about heads, only that the inn was burned to the ground."

After thinking it over, everyone realized that this person had indeed never said that the head had been burned.

But... weren't they just transporting heads here?

"You didn't send any heads over?" What else was the Duke of Wei confused about?

"We'll split into two groups," the general said with a smile. "The Siyun tribe was suddenly wiped out, and there are many things that need to be dealt with."

"After the heads are taken care of, have a few brothers come along with the escort agency's caravan."

"The rest of us arrived shortly afterward."

King Wu clenched his fist tightly, swallowing back the words that were about to spill from his mouth.

He thought he hadn't given anything away, but Qi Zhiyu looked over.

Her ambiguous smile seemed to see right through him, inside and out.

King Wu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Qi Zhiyu knew that he had arranged for the fire at the inn?

Fortunately, he didn't question what the many carriages carrying these two people were carrying if not human heads.

Emperor Kangwu laughed heartily: "Good! Well done!"

"At the time of execution, the head will be placed in front of the envoys of the Siyun tribe, so that they can see each other before they die and be reunited."

Emperor Kangwu was overjoyed, and everyone naturally knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

The matter concerning the Siyun tribe has now been settled.

Qi Zhiyu looked at the Duke of Wei: "Duke of Wei, you have always suspected me."

Duke Wei cupped his hands and said, "It is not that this old minister doubts the princess, but this matter concerns the safety of the people on the border, and this old minister has no choice but to be cautious."

"Duke of Wei, you look down on me from the bottom of your heart. No wonder your granddaughter Jiang Shuyi dares to get involved in my affairs with Qi Rongyao." Qi Zhiyu completely ignored what Duke of Wei said.

Let Duke Wei explain, what does it have to do with her?

She can simply move on to her next step.

Duke Wei was taken aback.

Qi Zhiyu scoffed, "What? When Jiang Shuyi went back and asked your Duke of Wei's mansion to contribute money for the medicine, didn't she tell you? She herself admitted that she misspoke?"

"I told her how to punish her, but I don't really know. I told her to go back and ask you."

"Duke of Wei, you are unaware of this matter?"

The Duke of Wei harbored deep resentment.

Is Qi Zhiyu really going to keep targeting his family?

All the blame is being directed at him; they won't rest until he's dead.

Before he could speak, Qi Zhiyu had her own answer: "That's true. I'm just a mere princess bestowed by His Majesty. How can I compare to the granddaughter of the Duke of Wei?"

The Duke of Wei's face turned pale instantly.

Qi Zhiyu continued, "When two royal princesses are arguing, she has the right to judge and determine right and wrong. Otherwise, how could she speak up so naturally?"

The Duke of Wei's forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Princess..."

"She probably didn't say anything when she got back because she thought it was insignificant," Qi Zhiyu nodded understandingly.

"I understand. In public, when she admits she misspoke, it's to save face for the royal family."

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my family's discipline, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me!" The Duke of Wei knelt heavily before Emperor Kangwu with a thud.

He felt that if he didn't kneel down and beg for forgiveness, and let Qi Zhiyu continue talking, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing his head.

The entire Jiang family must be raided and wiped out!

Emperor Kangwu spoke slowly: "Duke of Wei, you have rendered great service. How can I punish you for a few words between children?"

The Duke of Wei immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister is terrified!"

"It is indeed my fault, Your Majesty. Please punish me."

Emperor Kangwu felt uneasy.

Because Duke Wei really had military achievements in his early years, and besides, this was just a trivial matter between a few young girls.

The punishment wouldn't amount to much.

"Fine," Emperor Kangwu said reluctantly. "Since the Duke of Wei is so insistent, then his salary will be reduced by one year."

Duke Wei immediately accepted the imperial decree and expressed his gratitude.

Even after punishing the Duke of Wei, Emperor Kangwu was still not satisfied.

He didn't want to see that old man, Duke of Wei, at all!

The Duke of Wei had just stood up when his body suddenly stiffened. Then, he screamed and fell to the ground in agony.

His move startled everyone.

The Duke of Wei was curled up like a shrimp, trembling all over.

This scene seems somewhat familiar.

Before anyone could react, Qi Zhiyu said calmly, "The Gu worms have taken effect."

Everyone suddenly realized that the Duke of Wei's condition was similar to that of the King of Wu a few days ago.

However, it wasn't as tragic as the death of the King of Wu.

Emperor Kangwu looked at him and asked, "Chen'an, is the Duke of Wei alright?"

"It's alright," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "As long as Duke Wei takes his medicine on time, the attack will definitely occur within fifteen minutes."

Emperor Kangwu nodded slightly, seemingly relieved: "That's good."

"The Duke of Wei saved the King of Wu and was also the King of Wu's benefactor."

"King of Wu, don't forget that the Duke of Wei became like this because of you."

The King of Wu hurriedly bowed and said, "Your subject will never forget the Duke of Wei's loyalty."

Emperor Kangwu looked at him with satisfaction.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, sure enough, the Duke of Wei's symptoms disappeared in less than a quarter of an hour.

However, he was in very poor condition, and when the eunuch helped him up, his legs seemed weak.

"Send the Duke of Wei back," Emperor Kangwu ordered.

After bowing weakly, the Duke of Wei was helped away.

When Emperor Kangwu left the court, he gave Qi Zhiyu a wink.

Qi Zhiyu left with them.

"Grandfather, in just a few days, you won't see the Duke of Wei in the court anymore." Qi Zhiyu knew what Emperor Kangwu was thinking even without him asking.

Emperor Kangwu looked at her in surprise: "People will die?"

"It's not that he's dead. If he dies, wouldn't it be because of my poor medical skills that he died?" Qi Zhiyu shook her head.

"However, the affliction can affect his ability to handle official duties and attend court."

Emperor Kangwu frowned slightly: "It won't take too much time, less than a quarter of an hour."

Qi Zhiyu's lips curled into a smile: "But, I didn't say it would flare up once a day..."

Emperor Kangwu: "!!!"
