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

The palace maids, eunuchs, and nannies were immediately thrown into chaos.

They patted his back, massaged his chest, fanned him, and pressed his temples—they were busy all day.

Some people even rushed off to summon the imperial physician.

"Eh, eh..." Qi Zhiyu was also shocked. "Your Majesty, you can't get hurt!"

The old woman glanced at Qi Zhiyu, thinking that at least she had some conscience and knew to worry about their mistress.

"Your Highness, you're awake! You're awake!" the palace maid exclaimed excitedly.

Qi Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Consort De glanced at Qi Zhiyu and felt that his face was extremely repulsive.

"I thought Your Highness was pretending to faint because she didn't want to give me the money," Qi Zhiyu chuckled, patting her chest in relief.

"So Her Majesty really did faint."

"You..." Consort De's chest heaved violently with anger.

The palace maid beside her was so frightened that she quickly tried to soothe her: "Your Highness, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

"Oh dear... Consort De, you're too temperamental." Qi Zhiyu glanced at her disdainfully.

"Is it really worth getting so angry over such a small thing?"

The old woman couldn't hold back any longer: "Princess, please stop!"

Qi Zhiyu completely ignored the old woman.

Why should she bother with a mere palace servant?

Qi Zhiyu's gaze fell on Consort De's face: "My family has been bullied by Prince Wu and the Empress for so many years, but aren't we still alive and well?"

Her father's position as crown prince was simply relinquished.

However, the King of Wu and Consort De made a huge mistake. Once they gained power, they became arrogant and took every opportunity to belittle and suppress her family.

Consort De shuddered violently, her entire body frozen by Qi Zhiyu's terrifying gaze.

Qi Zhiyu... Qi Zhiyu wants her dead!

The suffocating feeling of death made her feel as if she were standing at the gates of hell, and she could even hear the mournful cries of ten thousand ghosts.

Her three souls and seven spirits were being pulled and torn apart... as if they were about to be devoured by evil spirits.

The chilling aura unique to the depths of the underworld caused her breath to freeze solid before her mouth and nose.

Consort De trembled violently, all her words stuck in her throat, her stiff lips unable to open, unable to utter a single word, only able to produce unpleasant, faint clicking sounds.

"Since Consort De is unwell, I will not disturb you any longer." Qi Zhiyu smiled, and the terrifying aura she had just exuded instantly receded like a tide, leaving no trace.

If Consort De's hands and feet weren't still so cold and numb, she would have really thought that everything just now was her imagination.

"Your Highness, thank you for the money." Qi Zhiyu smiled broadly, clearly in a very good mood.

Consort De didn't want to see Qi Zhiyu even a second: "Give her the money!"

Tell her to get out of here!

Given Consort De's attitude... Qi Zhiyu decided not to argue with her.

Yes, that's right, she's such a generous person.

No sooner had Qi Zhiyu left Consort De's place with the silver than Emperor Kangwu received a detailed report.

Emperor Kangwu: "...This girl!"

"Is she obsessed with money?"

Consort De sent over a sum of money, and then she went to the palace and extorted twice that amount from Consort De before going home.

This means that Consort De contributed three portions of silver.

It would be truly strange if Consort De didn't faint.

Emperor Kangwu exclaimed, "She has carried forward and expanded the true teachings of the Qi family."

Anyone from the Qi family who gets to this position is... pretty shameless.

He considered himself to be more capable than his father, but compared to Chen'an, Emperor Kangwu still felt he was too shy.

I am ashamed of myself!

Qi Zhiyu arrived home with the silver, where her whole family was waiting for her.

Qi Jingxi saw her enter and quickly came to greet her: "Sis, how much did you get?"

Qi Zhiyu gestured with her fingers: "It's just doubling it, I'm not being too ruthless."

"Haha..." Qi Jingxi laughed, hands on her hips, "It still has to be my sister!"

"It means being generous, leaving room for others, and giving them face."

"Mother, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard during this time." Qi Zhiyu looked at Princess Rui.

"It's not hard work at all," Princess Rui said with a smile. "We have plenty of money, so preparing supplies is nothing."

"We'll transport it there then..."

"I'll take care of that," Qi Jingchen replied.

He has enough connections in this regard.

"Mother, I'll bring the temple's account books over later, and you can take a look," Qi Zhiyu said.

"You can plan out the specifics of how to spend the money yourselves."

"Okay," Princess Rui agreed.

"I should have gone to the temple with my second brother that day. Mother has to deal with supplies." Qi Zhiyu glanced at Qi Jingxi.

Qi Jingxi patted her chest and said without hesitation, "No problem."

"Aren't you going to the Ministry of Personnel again?" Qi Jingchen frowned. "Has Qi Jinghong been making a lot of moves lately?"

"He's practically ready to grab someone and yell, 'He's more responsible and better than me!'" Qi Jingxi sneered disdainfully. "Playing those little tricks every day, so childish."

As he spoke, he tossed his head smugly: "Over the years, my image as a spoiled brat has become quite deeply ingrained in people's minds."

Qi Zhiyu said, "Dad, these things can be connected. Think about what you need recently, so you can negotiate with them later... Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Qi Jingxi spoke frankly: "Sis, since we've never met and nothing has even happened yet, you've already thought about what compensation the other party will give you."

Qi Zhiyu tilted her head slightly and thought hard for a moment: "These kinds of things are just a few possible outcomes... No matter which way it goes, we can adapt to the situation and it's completely within our control."

"How can we not get compensation?"

Qi Jingxi was silent for a moment, then turned around and threw herself into Qi Jingchen's arms, bursting into tears: "Brother, our sister is so amazing, it makes me look so stupid."

Qi Jingchen tore one of them off directly: "No need to compare, you're pretty stupid too."

Qi Jingxi choked, then let out a burp: "Are you still my brother?"

"I can be someone else," Qi Jingchen said with extreme disdain.

How old are you? Why do you still do this all the time? Isn't that childish?

Seeing her second brother's silly antics, Qi Zhiyu laughed and said, "Father, Mother, you go ahead with your work. I'll head back now."

Prince Rui and his men didn't stop them, because they did have a lot of things to do.

With so much money in hand, they must make good use of it.

In addition to providing supplies to the soldiers, we also need to allocate resources from all sides, and... analyze the various forces in the court.

We need to carefully prepare who we can win over and who we can exploit.

They are not like Yu'er. She seems to do things on a whim, but she never wastes anything that can be used.

At the same time, it can also achieve her goal.

This technique... is not something everyone can learn.

Qi Zhiyu went back to rest for a while. At dinner, she looked at the dishes on the table and smiled silently.

Her mother added more food to her plate.

In fact, she didn't think she had suffered much in the past. Survival of the fittest is the law of the original world.

Ironically, some of the instincts she displayed always made her family feel sorry for her.

To be honest, it feels pretty good to be cared for like this.
