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

Prince Xin picked up the teacup on the table and gulped it down in one go.

His straightforward behavior was so jarring compared to his scholarly and refined demeanor...

Even Qi Zhiyu couldn't help but take a second look.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Are you that thirsty?

Prince Xin put down his teacup: "I was startled."

Qi Zhiyu: "..."

Is her royal uncle really that frank?

"Chen'an, taking a city isn't so easy." Prince Xin was practically grabbing Qi Zhiyu by the collar and yelling at her. This wasn't child's play!

Qi Zhiyu pondered for a moment, then murmured, "It really isn't easy."

Prince Xin nodded with a sigh of relief.

It really scared him to death.

He truly didn't know what was wrong with his elder brother, who was telling him to listen to Chen An.

Chen An has just come of age; she's still a young girl.

Things at this border are a delicate matter; if handled poorly, they could ignite war and drag the people into chaos.

It's unbelievable that my usually composed elder brother would make such a basic mistake after not seeing him for a while.

They even made a mistake in the letter.

After you finish writing the letter, does your elder brother not even look back at it or check it?

Is it that Your Majesty is getting old and becoming forgetful?

"Actually, it would be easiest to just take the list and kill all the key figures in those border cities." Qi Zhiyu's words were like a slap in the face, shattering all of Prince Xin's thoughts of teasing Prince Rui.

He stared at Qi Zhiyu in astonishment.

What was she saying just now?

"It would be easy to kill all the officials and soldiers guarding the city, but that's what easily causes panic," Qi Zhiyu sighed.

Prince Xin's eyes widened. What was with that regretful expression on her face?

"Too much killing will surely worry my grandfather and father, who will be criticized by the world. Sigh... it is indeed troublesome." Qi Zhiyu sighed and looked at Prince Xin.

"Uncle, you're right."

"Not easy!"

King Xin: "..."

The difficulties he described and the difficulties Chen An understood seemed to be different things.

What do you mean, "seems like"?

That's not the same thing at all, okay?

Prince Xin stammered, "Elder...elder niece, are you...are you serious?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Uncle, I was just kidding."

"So many people, and they're in different cities, it's unrealistic to kill them one by one."

Prince Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Kids like to daydream. I understand, I understand."

"Running around to several cities, plus the time spent killing people inside, is quite tiring. Actually, poisoning them directly would be the easiest way," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"They can all die at the same time, and we don't have to deal with them one by one, which saves a lot of trouble."

King Xin: "..."

save trouble?

Is this a solution that a human could come up with?

Qi Zhiyu glanced at Prince Xin, whose face was full of confusion, and asked in surprise, "Uncle, you don't believe me?"

"I can poison them all."

As Qi Zhiyu spoke, her eyes lit up: "Let's make a bet. If I poison them all to death, you can tell Grandfather the truth: I poisoned them because you didn't believe me."

"It has nothing to do with me!"

Screw it, it doesn't matter!

King Xin cursed inwardly.

At this moment, the once-refined general completely lost his composure, abandoning all pretense of image and civility.

He just wants to curse!

He figured it out: Qi Zhiyu really intended to do that, and after she did it, the Qi Kingdom would be in chaos, and she would make him take the blame!

He was now certain that if he gave the nod, the generals and officials of those border cities of Qi would definitely not see the sun rise tomorrow.

No evidence is needed; his intuition is always accurate!

"My dear niece, you've only just met us and you're already shifting the blame onto me. That's not a good idea," Prince Xin said weakly, glancing at Qi Zhiyu.

He was certain that the reason his elder brother hadn't written in the letter why he should listen to his eldest niece was because his elder brother knew that his eldest niece would prove it herself.

Qi Zhiyu blinked a few times, revealing an innocent and sweet smile: "Uncle, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Prince Xin chuckled coldly twice: "Your imperial grandfather and your father didn't want you to do this, but you've wanted to do it for a long time."

"You've come here to find a scapegoat, haven't you?"

Qi Zhiyu blinked rapidly, her chubby cheeks puffed out, looking wronged: "Uncle, how could you think that way?"

"It's not that you don't believe me, it's that I want to prove it to you."

"I believe you!" King Xin said without hesitation.

As soon as those two words were uttered, he clearly saw the disappointment flash across Qi Zhiyu's eyes.

Prince Xin chuckled twice. Did he look like a fool?

"Alright then." Qi Zhiyu sighed regretfully. "Then, Imperial Uncle, let's talk about my arrangements."

Prince Xin gritted his teeth: "My dear niece, do you have any other plans?"

Why resort to scaring people when there are perfectly normal arrangements available?

Huh?

Was his life at the border easy?

Trying to provoke him again!

Qi Zhiyu looked completely innocent: "What I just said was that it was fast."

Prince Xin merely gave Qi Zhiyu a look, letting her figure it out for herself.

His father and elder brother forbade him to use this method, so Chen'an came to him and asked him to use it?

This triggered a major war between several countries, igniting conflict across the world and causing people to be displaced. Who can bear the responsibility for this?

Qi Zhiyu grinned at Prince Xin: "No need, no need. I just wanted to see what kind of person my royal uncle is."

"We can only work together well if we get to know each other."

"I like the Imperial Uncle's temperament. I believe we will have a pleasant time working together."

Prince Xin snorted: "What if it doesn't go well?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "No one can usually make me unhappy. Even if something is unpleasant, it will turn into something pleasant."

For example, the King of Wu.

Now she really admires the King of Wu.

The King of Wu was not only Heaven's greatest treasure, but also her greatest treasure.

Who can resist a constant stream of people offering them benefits?

"Change? What if it can't be changed?" Prince Xin didn't quite understand, so he asked.

"If it can't be changed, then it can't be changed," Qi Zhiyu said with great leniency. "After all, I won't hold a grudge against a dead person."

"Cough cough cough..." Prince Xin choked on his own saliva and coughed violently.

If they can't make her happy, then... then they all die?

Prince Xin stared at Qi Zhiyu in astonishment, only to be met with a bright and affirming smile from her.

A chill instantly ran up to the top of his head, and Prince Xin felt like his scalp was about to explode.

Who exactly is the daughter that my elder brother found?

He now understood why his elder brother had written so simply and clearly in his letter.

Because the emperor doesn't need to say much, Chen'an will quickly convince him.

From the very first meeting, Chen An was testing him. Fortunately, his reaction was acceptable... Wait a minute, why did he use "fortunately"?
