After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, the maid did not respond at all.

Because I was completely terrified.

How...how could there be such a brutal villain?

Qi Zhiyu simply smiled and didn't seem to care.

The maid was still young and had never seen anything so dangerous before; it was perfectly normal for her to react this way.

However, it must be said that her mother was very good at choosing people.

Even though it was the first time I'd heard of something so shocking, I wasn't scared out of my wits... That's impressive.

The person her mother arranged for her was really good.

The abbot brought over a freshly brewed tea, which Qi Zhiyu slowly drank before asking, "Have the people outside gathered?"

The abbot was able to live outside for many years without being discovered, which shows he was not stupid.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have compromised so quickly and chosen the path that would minimize his losses.

"They've gathered together," the abbot said with a smile.

"There were no ordinary people, only noble families who came to worship Buddha and pray for blessings."

Qi Zhiyu put down her teacup and stood up: "Some people are just so considerate. Knowing I'm short of money, they rushed to bring it to me, didn't they?"

"Princess, do you need this humble monk to prove that you are well-versed in Buddhism?" the abbot asked solicitously.

Those people must be trying to use this to condemn the princess; he can testify for her.

"I don't understand Buddhism," Qi Zhiyu said with a slight smile.

The abbot was shocked.

It's not working?

How could she be so clear about the methods some temples use to make money?

"Whatever the princess says, this humble monk can make it sound plausible," the abbot said, eager to prove himself.

The princess is ignorant of Buddhism, but he is an expert in it; he can make the world think that the princess is an expert!

"I am the law, why should I know about other laws and paths?" Qi Zhiyu sneered, utterly disdainful of such methods.

The abbot was deeply shocked in an instant.

He saw no arrogance or haughtiness on Qi Zhiyu's face, only a faint smile.

But it was precisely that hint of a smile in his eyes and brows, so light and breezy, that struck the abbot's heart like a giant hammer, shaking him to his core.

Then, he clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to Qi Zhiyu.

At this moment, he was that high monk who had not broken his vows.

They worshipped willingly, without a single ulterior motive, with utmost devotion.

The abbot's position will not affect Qi Zhiyu's progress.

The abbot watched Qi Zhiyu's departing figure and sighed silently in his heart.

Why do those people outside have to provoke this living devil?

She was well-versed in certain methods, yet she didn't use them.

It's not that she doesn't know how; it's entirely because she plays at a higher level.

That's a true expert at making money!

Outside the abbot's courtyard, Madame Chiang was sighing, "I don't know how things are going."

"Mother, the princess is so reckless. How will the abbot view the royal family in the future?" Jiang Shuyi was full of anxiety, truly worried about the royal family.

"How shameful!" someone said with extreme disgust.

As soon as the courtyard gate opened, Qi Zhiyu walked out. Without even glancing at the people gathered at the gate, she was about to leave.

The ladies and young women were bewildered by Qi Zhiyu's reaction.

So many of them...don't exist in Qi Zhiyu's eyes, right?

This neglect infuriated them.

Qi Zhiyu is too arrogant!

"Princess Chen'an!" someone called out, "Can't you see all of us?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly, her gaze falling on the man: "I originally didn't want to bother with you since you are, after all, the families of officials."

"I never expected you guys could be this stupid."

The person who called out to Qi Zhiyu was so angry that his face changed. How could Qi Zhiyu talk like that?

"What are you all doing here?" Qi Zhiyu ignored the man and looked at Madam Jiang instead.

At this point, Madam Jiang naturally could not back down and stepped forward, saying, "The princess just forced her way into the abbot's courtyard, and we are worried that she may have displeased the abbot."

"After all, the abbot is a highly accomplished monk; if..."

Qi Zhiyu raised her hand to stop Madam Jiang from speaking: "Everyone, I'm very busy and don't have time to waste on this verbal argument with you."

"You will come with me to the palace to meet the Emperor and explain everything clearly before him."

Madame Chiang was stunned.

What's going on?

Why do we need to go to the palace to meet the emperor?

Why is Qi Zhiyu making such a big fuss?

After a brief moment of surprise, Madame Chiang was overjoyed.

It's good that Qi Zhiyu made such a big fuss.

This only confirms her reputation for being arrogant, domineering, and abusing her power!

But someone's expression changed; that person was standing on the outermost edge of the crowd.

She moved her feet quietly, trying to sneak away when no one was looking.

"Anyone who dares to leave..." Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, clearly delivering each word to everyone present without emphasizing it.

"Swords have no eyes; the casualties are your own fault."

The person who was about to slip away paused, their expression changing several times, as if a vat of dye had been overturned.

Even though she was hiding so far back, Princess Chen'an still noticed her.

It seems she'll have to have a serious talk with her husband when she gets back.

Many of these ladies were initially hesitant, as entering the palace to meet the emperor was no small matter.

However, Qi Zhiyu really went too far.

What do you mean by swords having no eyes and causing casualties?

What's wrong?

If they don't go, would Qi Zhiyu dare to kill them?

Some people glared angrily at Qi Zhiyu, wishing they could slap her twice.

Who here isn't noble?

Madam Jiang spoke up: "Princess, do you really want us to go to the palace to meet the Emperor?"

"This palace isn't one you can just walk into whenever you want."

"Without His Majesty's summons..."

"Oh, it's alright, I'll take you in. Grandfather has no objections." Qi Zhiyu said casually and walked forward.

At the same time, she instructed her maid, "Keep a close watch on everyone. Anyone who doesn't go... kill them!"

Those ladies were completely enraged by those words.

Even a princess doesn't have that much power to just kill these noblewomen like that.

go with!

We absolutely have to go!

They wanted to show His Majesty just how arrogant and domineering Qi Zhiyu was.

Qi Zhiyu boarded the carriage and went directly to the palace.

Upon receiving the news, Emperor Kangwu silently put down his pen.

Grand Secretary Zhang smiled silently.

Emperor Kangwu sighed, "That girl!"

Now that he's here, he'll definitely have to see him.

However, there were too many people, so Emperor Kangwu had to find another place.

"Grand Secretary Zhang, are you going too?" Emperor Kangwu glanced at Grand Secretary Zhang, who was following behind.

Grand Secretary Zhang said solemnly, "Such a momentous matter, this old minister naturally has to go and see if it will affect the safety of the nation."

Emperor Kangwu gave a cold laugh.

That old bastard!

If you want to watch the show, just say so. Why come up with such a high-sounding excuse?

Emperor Kangwu strode away, and Grand Secretary Zhang followed with a smug look on his face.

When Emperor Kangwu arrived in the hall, the ladies and young women were already there, kneeling on the ground to pay their respects.

After Emperor Kangwu sat down, he told them to rise.

"Chen'an, what's wrong?" When Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Zhiyu, not only was his gaze loving, but even his voice softened.

It's just the elders comforting the child.

"Grandfather, someone is plotting a rebellion." Qi Zhiyu's words sent chills down the spines of the women in the hall.
