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

The Third Princess was stunned, and she looked at Qi Yanhe in astonishment.

Qi Yan frowned deeply.

What's going on?

"Chen'an, what kind of witness?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

"Those are the assassins," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

The third princess asked in astonishment, "Didn't you just say you were going to kill them all?"

"You believe me just because I say so?" Qi Zhiyu covered her mouth and chuckled. "Third Princess, you are so naive."

"Why should I tell you the truth after I know you're the mastermind?"

"You..." The Third Princess was speechless with anger.

How could Qi Zhiyu be so shameless?

"Grandfather, the person is outside," Qi Zhiyu said.

Emperor Kangwu nodded and immediately ordered someone to bring the assassin in.

Soon a disheveled man was brought in and made to kneel on the ground.

"Who ordered you to assassinate him?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

"It's Prince Qi!" the man said quickly.

"Do you have any evidence?" Emperor Kangwu asked again.

The man shook his head: "No."

The third princess exclaimed, "Father, you heard that! He has no evidence to prove that my husband ordered it!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Wouldn't it be strange if there were evidence?"

"If Prince Qi wants me dead, does he intend to leave behind evidence to be arrested?"

"There's no evidence; it's all just one side of the story!" the Third Princess retorted angrily.

"Fine, whatever you say." Qi Zhiyu shrugged. "However, I'm a petty person."

"Someone is trying to assassinate me, and this person even accused Prince Qi of ordering him to do so."

"Then I must get an explanation for myself."

Qi Yanhe said helplessly, "Princess, it really wasn't me."

"It's nothing," Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "I won't talk to you."

Qi Yan's heart tightened; a bad premonition gripped him: "Who will the princess talk to?"

"Of course I'll go find the King of Qi," Qi Zhiyu said matter-of-factly.

Qi Yanhe subconsciously said, "It's a long way for the princess to pay her a visit, and the procession will take a long time."

"A team? What team?" Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement. "One person and one horse, it won't take long."

"I'll go directly to your Qi Kingdom's royal palace; it's very convenient."

Qi Yanhe's face darkened: "Princess, this is against the rules!"

Was she planning to bypass the formalities and visit the Qi Kingdom's palace at night?

"My Qi Kingdom's guards are not to be underestimated!" Qi Yanhe warned in a deep voice.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Then you can give it a try, Prince Qi."

"Let's see if your Qi Kingdom's palace guards can stop me."

"Since I'm the one who was assassinated, I absolutely will not swallow this injustice!"

Qi Yan took a deep breath.

How could Qi Zhiyu be such a shameless and unruly rogue?

All normal methods are ineffective against her!

She's completely unreasonable!

"Princess, whether you believe it or not, this matter really has nothing to do with us." Qi Yan sighed wearily.

"It doesn't matter, it's not important. What's important is that I'm very unhappy!" Qi Zhiyu sneered.

Qi Yan's temples throbbed, and he had a terrible headache.

"Princess, what do you want?" Qi Yanhe asked.

"What do you think?" Qi Zhiyu threw the question back to Qi Yanhe.

Qi Yan gritted his teeth, each word squeezed out from between them: "What kind of compensation does the princess need to make her happy?"

The Third Princess looked at Qi Yanhe in disbelief: "Why should she be compensated?"

Qi Yan felt a tightness in his chest: "The princess was indeed assassinated because we invited her out."

"We have some responsibility to bear."

The Third Princess couldn't accept it at all. She was about to speak when Qi Yan interrupted her, saying, "Princess, the Princess is your niece. We're all family."

"The princess was frightened, and we, as her elders, should offer some compensation."

What can be done if no compensation is given?

Should we really send Qi Zhiyu to the palace to have a talk with his elder brother?

Even if Qi Zhiyu doesn't harm his elder brother in the slightest, if this matter gets out, will their Qi Kingdom still have any face left?

His elder brother lost face, and the blame would fall entirely on him.

Rather than doing that, it's better to compromise and agree to Qi Zhiyu's request.

This way, the losses can be minimized.

"Then let's have tens of thousands of taels of silver as compensation," Qi Zhiyu said happily.

"We are relatives after all. For the sake of the Third Princess, we should just give a token gesture."

Qi Yanhe almost vomited blood.

Tens of thousands of taels in compensation, or just a token gesture?

How dare Qi Zhiyu say such a thing?

"Your Highness, you won't refuse, will you?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously. "It's okay if you don't agree."

"I dislike forcing others."

"At worst, I'll ask your imperial brother for it."

Qi Yanhe closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again: "Your Highness is joking. It is only right that we comfort Your Highness to calm your nerves."

"I will prepare the money when I get back."

"Your Majesty, the Third Princess is still injured, so we will take our leave now."

Emperor Kangwu readily agreed.

After Qi Yan and the reluctant Third Princess bowed, they withdrew.

Emperor Kangwu's gaze fell on the Prince of Wu: "Fourth Prince, now that Chen'an has returned safely, you don't need to go looking for him anymore."

King Wu then snapped out of his daze and awkwardly laughed, "Yes, yes... It's good that you're back safe and sound, it's good that you're back."

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

After receiving permission, the King of Wu bowed and left.

Qi Zhiyu ordered the two soldiers to take the assassin out, and all the palace maids and eunuchs serving inside also left.

"Chen'an, are you really alright?" Emperor Kangwu asked worriedly.

Qi Zhiyu sat down in the chair, raising an eyebrow with a grin: "Grandfather, don't worry, those people are no big deal."

Emperor Kangwu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You didn't come back all night, and your father and the others were worried sick."

Qi Zhiyu glanced at Prince Rui, whose face was dark, with a smile: "Father, are you worried about me?"

Prince Rui gritted his teeth: "What am I worried about? What do I have to worry about?"

"I'm overjoyed by my daughter's abilities! I have no worries at all!"

Qi Zhiyu burst out laughing: "Dad, your hypocritical look is really funny."

"How dare you laugh!" Prince Rui glared at him, he was furious!

Qi Zhiyu explained, "I just wanted to see what those assassins were all about."

"Who knew that when we followed them, we discovered there were quite a few of them, and that they also had a secret treasure."

"That treasure is hidden quite well, which is why we're wasting time."

"Dad, don't be angry, don't be angry anymore."

"Half of the compensation money from Qi Yanhe will be given to your private treasury."

"The other half was given to the Emperor's grandfather to fill his private treasury."

Emperor Kangwu asked in surprise, "I'm involved too?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled sweetly: "I made my grandfather worry last night too."

Emperor Kangwu's heart immediately melted.

What a wonderful child!

How could he not be in pain?

"Did the assassin reveal anything else?" Prince Rui asked.

"What's there to reveal! They're all suicide squads. If they can't win, they just kill themselves," Qi Zhiyu said disdainfully.

Prince Rui exclaimed in astonishment, "Then that just now..."

"I had someone impersonate me," Qi Zhiyu said frankly.
