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

"Your Majesty," Qi Yanhe said helplessly, bowing slightly, "I cannot represent the Qi Kingdom in this matter."

"Why not?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

"Haven't you always been in charge of these matters concerning relations between the two countries?"

"Back when we were making concessions to your Qi Kingdom, you could make that decision, but now that it's the other way around, you can't?"

"It's unbelievable that the so-called deep affection between husband and wife was nothing but a pretense for personal gain."

The third princess turned to look at her beloved husband in shock.

Was all that love between husband and wife all these years just a lie?

Qi Zhiyu's expression suddenly turned cold: "Qi Yanhe, our royal princess is not someone you can toy with as you please!"

"You've deceived our princess's feelings; you've deceived and humiliated our royal family!"

"This is tantamount to looking down on our entire court!"

"You've made a fool of us, how shameful..."

Qi Zhiyu suddenly raised her hand, pointing directly at Qi Yanhe: "Let's start the war!"

"Even if it means fighting to the last man and shedding our last drop of blood, we will seek justice!"

Qi Yan's mind went blank for a moment.

Wait... Weren't we just talking about interests? Why are we going to start a war now?

He accompanied his queen back to her parents' home, and then... the two countries went to war?

He couldn't bear this guilt.

Princess Chen'an even said something about fighting to the last man, shedding the last drop of blood... In terms of overall national strength, Qi Kingdom is the weaker party!

If a real war breaks out, the only one to be wiped out will be the Qi Kingdom.

The problem is... when two countries are at war, there is such a thing as surrendering.

How did it become the destruction of a country in Princess Chen'an's mouth?

Are you not leaving a single person for their Qi Kingdom?

"Everyone!" Qi Zhiyu raised her arm and shouted, "The Qi Kingdom has trampled on our heads! How can we bear this humiliation?"

"Fight!" The civil official was filled with fervor.

"Kill!" The general's killing intent surged.

Grand Secretary Zhang: "..."

Princess...aren't you going a bit too far?

"Qi Yanhe, this princess will use your head as a sacrifice for the flag!" Qi Zhiyu flashed and was already in front of Qi Yanhe.

Qi Yan's eyes widened in terror, the aura of death rushing towards him, instantly gripping his heart tightly.

"Talk!" Qi Yan shouted.

"Offer discounts!"

"Double it!"

Qi Zhiyu's finger stopped less than half an inch from Qi Yanhe's throat. She raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Talk?"

"Yes, yes, let's talk!" Qi Yanhe said repeatedly.

"The State of Qi has absolutely no intention of humiliating us."

"Really?" Qi Zhiyu scoffed. "Then why didn't you talk about it earlier?"

Qi Yan explained dryly, "It happened so suddenly, I was a little caught off guard."

"Over the years, Qi Kingdom has indeed benefited. I should do something for my queen."

"Oh, so your relationship as a couple is really good, not fake? You're not lying to us?" Qi Zhiyu pressed.

"Of course not!" Qi Yanhe hurriedly said.

"Aren't you using our Third Princess to benefit the Qi Kingdom?" Qi Zhiyu asked again.

"Absolutely not! My feelings for the Third Princess are as clear as day!" Qi Yanhe practically swore an oath.

If things go wrong, the two countries will go to war, and the Qi Kingdom will be destroyed!

Qi Zhiyu complained, "Honestly, why didn't you just say you'd talk about it?"

"Making excuses and delays will lead to misunderstandings."

What can Qi Yan do?

He could only manage a forced smile: "I was overthinking things. I felt that we should be more cautious about matters between these two countries."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you're overthinking it."

"Back then, we made concessions for the Third Princess. Shouldn't you make concessions for your own Queen?"

"Moreover, the Third Princess is a bridge between our two countries. Because we all deeply love the Third Princess, we are able to get along well."

"It's just a few cents of profit, why bother?"

"Don't you agree, Your Highness?"

Qi Yan cursed inwardly.

If you don't care, what's the point of talking to him?

Why not just stick to the old way?

Now they're making Qi Kingdom double the compensation... How come they're not even considering the Third Princess's feelings?

Qi Yanhe was already furious with his curses, but he didn't dare to show any emotion on his face.

If Princess Chen'an were to see his discontent, he had no doubt that she could reorganize her army and march straight towards the Qi Kingdom the next day.

"Yes, yes." What could Qi Yan do?

I could only reluctantly agree, my heart breaking.

"Alright then, you two talk." Qi Zhiyu withdrew her hand, acting as if nothing had happened, and went back to sit down.

"Anyway, we're all relatives, and we all want the Third Princess to be happy. There's nothing we can't discuss," Qi Zhiyu said, looking at Grand Secretary Zhang.

"Grand Secretary Zhang, you may begin."

"Very well," said Grand Secretary Zhang, bowing with his hands clasped.

Regardless of how Princess Chen'an got Qi Yanhe to sit down and talk to them, they did talk anyway.

Since we're going to talk, he's determined to have a proper discussion and maximize his interests!

He couldn't possibly let down Princess Chen'an's plan, could he?

Not to mention that Grand Secretary Zhang was full of fighting spirit, the other civil officials were also eager to get started.

They have also been sent to other countries, but negotiations with such a favorable situation as this are very rare.

In this way, if they fail to gain any benefits, they can go home and kill themselves.

The civil official spoke up and began negotiations with Qi Yan directly.

Don't underestimate the civil officials just because they're not good at fighting. In this area, however, it's their forte.

As the military officers in the hall listened to the civil officials' eloquent pronouncements about their valiant exploits, they realized that these civil officials were no less capable than them on such a battlefield.

The negotiations were so thorough and efficient that they lasted less than half an hour, with the terms revised and the benefits redistributed.

Once the seal was affixed, everything was settled, and the civil officials felt completely relieved.

What a pleasant negotiation!

King Wu looked at all this with a gloomy expression, as if he had just climbed up from the underworld.

What others saw was that Qi Zhiyu had secured benefits for the court and dealt a heavy blow to the Qi Kingdom.

But what he saw was that the mindset of his followers had changed.

Perhaps they haven't quite come to their senses yet, but who facilitated this negotiation?

Qi Zhiyu!

After these people go back, they will wonder if following Prince Rui will lead to the same outcome.

Once they have this idea, will these people still think that following him is the right choice?

He knew from the start of the negotiations that this outcome would be unfavorable to him.

But the problem was, he couldn't speak up to stop it!

A calculated scheme!

It's another blatant and obvious conspiracy!

By forcing Qi Yanhe to make concessions and forcing him to negotiate, the ministers who should have stood by him naturally felt the joy of following Prince Rui!

The King of Wu closed his eyes in pain.

Why did he write to the Third Princess asking her to return?

Qi Zhiyu... she's not even human!
