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

What does Princess Chen'an mean by this?

Should we declare war on them completely?

Tell them that whatever she wants, she can produce the corresponding merit, so that His Majesty's favoritism towards her is justified and they can't find any fault with it.

This is not the worst part.

What terrified them most was that they actually believed Princess Chen'an could keep her word!

The Siyun tribe was wiped out without warning!

Is she even human?

In any case, the Wu King's faction was extremely uncomfortable during the latter half of the banquet.

The delicious food in front of them tasted bland and tasteless.

The wine that I drank was more bitter than gall bladder.

The Rui family seemed to be having a great time eating and drinking.

After the banquet ended, everyone left.

However, a palace maid stopped Qi Zhiyu in her tracks: "Princess, Consort De requests your presence."

Qi Zhiyu tilted her head slightly, not quite understanding Consort De's thoughts.

Princess Rui frowned: "Yu'er, I'll go with you."

The palace maid said in a deep voice, "Princess Rui, Consort De only saw Princess Chen'an."

Princess Rui nervously grabbed Qi Zhiyu; this was clearly bad news.

"I won't see you," Qi Zhiyu slowly uttered.

The palace maid stared at Qi Zhiyu in astonishment: "Princess, what did you say?"

"I said, I won't see you!" Qi Zhiyu sneered. "If you're hard of hearing, how did you manage to work in the palace?"

The palace maid gritted her teeth in anger. This Princess Chen'an was indeed annoying. No wonder the Empress disliked her so much!

The palace maid stared at Qi Zhiyu with a gloomy look: "Princess, please don't make things difficult for me."

"If the princess doesn't go, Her Majesty will blame this servant."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly, "What does it have to do with me?"

The palace maid was shocked and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Doesn't the princess have any compassion as she watches me being punished?"

Qi Zhiyu found it utterly ridiculous: "If Consort De wants to punish you, that's Consort De's business. What right do I have to interfere?"

"Why don't you blame Consort De for punishing you, but instead blame me?"

Are you out of your mind?

The palace maid accused, "Princess, you are truly cold-blooded..."

The palace maid never had the chance to say what came next.

Qi Zhiyu withdrew her hand.

The palace maid collapsed limply to the ground, her drooping head making it clear at a glance that her neck had been broken.

The eunuchs and palace maids around them were all stunned and stood there in fright.

Princess Chen'an, you killed her without a second thought, without even giving her a chance to beg for mercy!

This person was a favored palace maid of Consort De, and Princess Chen'an just killed her like that?

Is she really not worried about Consort De's wrath?

Qi Zhiyu patted non-existent dust off her hands: "Mother, you should go home first."

"Yu'er, where are you going?" Princess Rui asked worriedly.

She can stay with the children.

Qi Zhiyu sneered, "I'm going to discuss the management of servants with Consort De."

"Father, you go first."

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she turned around and randomly pointed to a palace maid: "Lead the way to find Consort De."

The palace maid hurriedly led the way.

She didn't want to be the next corpse lying on the ground.

Princess Rui watched Qi Zhiyu's departing figure with unease.

Prince Rui said, "Let's go back. Yu'er will be fine."

Qi Jingxi muttered under her breath, gloating, "Something's definitely wrong; it's someone else."

"There are too many people on Consort Kede's side..." Princess Rui said worriedly.

"Mother, don't worry," Qi Jingchen reassured her. "The number of people... is not important to Yu'er."

So what if the Siyun tribe has so many people?

Weren't they all dead?

Princess Rui sighed. The child was still so young. Even if he had a lot of skills, in her heart he was still a child.

I can't help but worry.

After Prince Rui and his family left, Qi Zhiyu, guided by a palace maid, arrived at Consort De's palace.

Inside the house, Old Madam Wei and the others were all there, chatting animatedly.

But as soon as Qi Zhiyu entered, everyone stopped and looked at her.

Qi Zhiyu walked over and looked at Consort De without saying a word.

Tang Jingrou angrily rebuked, "Qi Zhiyu, why don't you bow to Consort De?"

Qi Zhiyu scoffed, not even glancing at Tang Jingrou, and simply said to Consort De, "Consort De, keep an eye on your dog, don't let it bark randomly."

Tang Jingrou was so angry that she stood up abruptly and pointed at Qi Zhiyu's nose: "Who are you calling a dog?"

Qi Zhiyu curled her lips into a smile and slapped Tang Jingrou hard across the face, sending her crashing into a chair next to her with a thud.

The pain made her vision go black, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Wei Yifeng, General Wei, keep your mother in check." Qi Zhiyu looked at Wei Yifeng, "A commoner offended the princess... Wei Yifeng, what military achievements do you have to protect her?"

Wei Yifeng's face darkened. He stood up and cupped his hands to Qi Zhiyu: "Princess, it was my mother's fault. Please be lenient, Princess."

Tang Jingrou glared angrily at Qi Zhiyu, her son. Why was he being so subservient to Qi Zhiyu?

"Wei Yifeng, your mother obviously doesn't think she's done anything wrong." Qi Zhiyu smiled contemptuously.

Tang Jingrou got up from the ground, her neck stiff with defiance, and shouted, "Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Qi Zhiyu's smile deepened.

Startled, Wei Yifeng quickly stepped in front of Tang Jingrou, saying, "Princess, please calm down!"

Qi Zhiyu smiled brightly: "General Wei, this is what your mother requested."

"She's practically my aunt, and she's made this request. If I don't grant it, wouldn't I be neglecting family ties?"

Wei Yifeng took a deep breath and swallowed back the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Qi Zhiyu never seemed to treat his mother like an aunt at all!

Now I remember.

Qi Zhiyu just wanted to find a legitimate reason to take his mother's life!

"Alright," Consort De finally spoke. "Chen'an, we're all family. If things get too ugly, won't it hurt our feelings?"

"Feelings?" Qi Zhiyu was utterly shocked. "I have feelings for you?"

"Oh my... this is really strange." Qi Zhiyu looked at Consort De in disbelief.

Consort De choked, her heart surging with anger.

What is Qi Zhiyu doing in the Yin-Yang world?

What an unruly fellow!

Qi Zhiyu only benefited from His Majesty's favoritism towards Prince Rui.

Consort De glared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu, then suddenly realized something was missing: "Why didn't the palace maid I sent come back with you?"

"Oh, her. She's dead." Qi Zhiyu readily admitted, "I killed her."

Consort De was furious and slammed her hand on the table: "Princess Chen'an, how dare you kill my people so easily?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled as she looked at Consort De. Compared to the angry glares from the people inside the room, she seemed incredibly relaxed.

Rather than saying she was relaxed, it would be more accurate to say she completely disregarded these people.

"Your Highness, if you are not satisfied, you can go and complain to your grandfather." Qi Zhiyu smiled contemptuously.

"A mere palace maid came up to me and said that if I didn't come with her, she would be punished."

"It's heartless of me to make her get punished."

"Since she'll die from being punished, and I'll have to bear the infamy of being cold-blooded and ruthless, I might as well just kill her."

"Anyway, the bad reputation is mine anyway, so I might as well make it live up to it."
