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

"Bring him in." As soon as Qi Zhiyu gave the order, someone immediately carried in the little eunuch who was dead beyond any doubt.

They all served in Consort De's palace, especially this little eunuch who was very clever and was deeply favored by the Empress.

How could they not recognize each other?

It was clearly his request to deliver the silver to Princess Chen'an.

He was fine when he left, so how come he had a bloody hole between his eyebrows and was carried back completely dead?

"This servant...this servant will go and report right away!" The old woman was so frightened that she could barely speak.

She struggled to her feet and stumbled inside to report.

Qi Zhiyu wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly outside.

She's quite well-behaved.

Soon, the old nanny came out again: "Princess, Consort De requests your presence."

Qi Zhiyu lifted her leg and went inside.

Upon entering the room, Consort De, her face grim, immediately asked Qi Zhiyu, "Princess Chen'an, how have my people offended you?"

"Your Highness, did I force you to send me the silver?" Qi Zhiyu did not answer Consort De's question.

Consort De frowned: "No, what I'm asking is..."

"If that's not the case, then why does he keep emphasizing that this money belongs to Your Highness?" Qi Zhiyu asked directly, not even waiting for Consort De to finish speaking.

"If Your Highness doesn't wish to send it, you don't have to!"

"You sent it over, and then said that again? What? You want me to refuse to accept it?"

"Your Highness, the reason you sent this money is because those ladies made wild accusations, which caused a misunderstanding between us."

"What? Does Your Highness want others to think that I didn't accept it because we haven't misunderstood?"

She had just said that morning that those ministers' wives dared to teach her a lesson because they relied on the power of the Prince of Wu and Consort De.

In the afternoon, she refused to accept the silver sent by Consort De. What does that mean?

Was everything she said during the day wrong?

She actually admitted it herself?

If not, then why didn't she accept the money from Consort De?

Consort De was extremely annoyed that Qi Zhiyu had seen through her thoughts.

The person who delivered the silver was always very clever and naturally knew what she was thinking.

Normally, if the people from Prince Rui's mansion declined, he would definitely take the opportunity to return with the silver.

Once the silver is recovered, Qi Zhiyu's claim that she was the backer of those ladies who disregarded the royal princess will no longer be valid.

But who could have imagined that Qi Zhiyu would not only not act according to common sense, but would instead kill her people... How utterly despicable!

"Chen'an, no matter what, that person was still mine. You killed him like that? Do you even respect me?" Consort De asked angrily.

Qi Zhiyu smiled, showing no fear on her face: "Your Majesty, it's because those ladies are trying to curry favor with your family that they disregard imperial authority."

"Because of the foolish things they did, I suffered injustice, and that's why you compensated me with money."

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to give me money... does that mean Your Majesty admits that you are their backer, that those ministers who are attached to the King of Wu can be above the princess personally appointed by His Majesty?"

Consort De's expression changed drastically: "I never said that!"

How could Qi Zhiyu dare to pin such a capital offense on her?

"If Her Majesty never said anything, then why is the eunuch who delivered the silver on her behalf so arrogant, making decisions on his own and not wanting me to accept it?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a sneer.

"He repeatedly emphasized that this was your money, Your Highness. Was he trying to get me to refuse it, or what?"

"Could it be that he's trying to tell me that the silver you gave me, Your Highness, was too little, and he feels it's not presentable enough?"

Consort De was stunned and dumbfounded.

How did Qi Zhiyu come up with such an absurd possibility?

Qi Zhiyu asked with great difficulty, "So, is it that Her Majesty's son, the Prince of Wu, has privileges that surpass everything, or is it that Her Majesty gave me too little silver?"

Consort De moved her lips, but for a moment she didn't know how to start speaking.

How could she possibly admit that her son had privileges that superseded everything?

If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that the mother and son don't respect His Majesty at all?

How many heads do they have to dare to have such an idea?

"Perhaps... I sent too little money." Consort De gritted her teeth and made her choice with immense humiliation.

"Chen'an, you killed someone in my palace, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Consort De glanced at the eunuch lying on the ground, her anger rising.

Qi Zhiyu is completely disregarding her!

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be too grateful to me."

Feeling grateful?

Consort De was stunned.

What's going on?

She wished she could inflict every form of torture on Qi Zhiyu.

Only by torturing Qi Zhiyu to death can the hatred in her heart be quelled.

How could she possibly be grateful to Qi Zhiyu?

"This eunuch is so unruly. He has repeatedly implied to Your Majesty that the amount you are giving is too little and shows a lack of sincerity." Qi Zhiyu snorted disdainfully.

"Such an arrogant, lawless servant, I killed him for Your Majesty. Shouldn't Your Majesty thank me?"

Consort De suddenly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her vision went black, her mind went blank, and her ears rang incessantly.

"Your Highness!" The palace maid beside her was so frightened that she quickly supported the swaying Consort De, who was about to fall.

"I'm fine..." Consort De said weakly.

Qi Zhiyu was extremely concerned: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Consort De looked at her, her eyes bloodshot: "It's nothing."

She didn't need to pretend in front of Qi Zhiyu at all; everyone knew about their irreconcilable feud.

However, even if it were out in the open, no one would admit it.

"In that case, I should thank Chen'an more," Consort De said sinisterly. "Thank you for disciplining this ignorant servant on my behalf."

"Indeed, you should thank me." Qi Zhiyu accepted Consort De's thanks graciously.

"I've always liked doing good deeds, but having such a servant by Your Majesty's side is a huge hidden danger."

"Who knows when they might cause trouble and implicate Her Majesty?"

"It's just that I'm easy to talk to. If it were someone else... who knows what kind of trouble they would have caused."

Consort De felt a sharp pain in her chest: "Chen'an, if you have nothing else to say, you may leave now."

"I am a little tired."

She doesn't want to see Qi Zhiyu at all right now.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten something?" Qi Zhiyu reminded her.

Consort De asked in confusion, "What?"

"Your Majesty, the eunuchs in your palace all feel that you haven't given them enough silver. It was because of this that he spoke ill of his mistress that I reprimanded him on Your Majesty's behalf." Qi Zhiyu looked at Consort De sincerely.

"On the one hand, the Empress sent less, and on the other hand, I also resolved a potential problem for her..."

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to say anything?"

Consort De took a deep breath and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Someone, bring Princess Chen'an the silver!"

"Your Majesty is too kind. I would be impolite to refuse such an offer!" Qi Zhiyu smiled innocently.

Consort De's vision went black, and she fainted.
