Qi Yanhe quickly advised, "Princess, it's getting late, we should set off."

The Third Princess stood up angrily, glared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu, and strode away.

He didn't even greet Prince Xin.

Qi Yanhe had no choice but to apologize to Prince Xin, who naturally saw them off politely.

When the Third Princess arrived in the courtyard, she discovered that Qi Zhiyu had not come out at all.

She was furious!

Qi Zhiyu offended her, doesn't she even know how to apologize?

They were actually sitting inside, leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks?

Excessive!

That's absolutely outrageous!

The third princess stomped on the footstool so hard it sounded like she was going to smash the carriage to pieces.

Qi Yan could only force a smile and bid farewell to Prince Xin.

After their carriage left, Prince Xin turned and went back into the house: "My dear niece, you didn't see how the Third Princess looked."

"I'm so angry I could smoke."

Qi Zhiyu casually remarked, "It actually looks quite nice when it's really smoking."

Prince Xin laughed heartily: "No matter how angry she is, she won't actually smoke."

My niece is still a child at heart.

Qi Zhiyu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Once it's lit, it'll start smoking."

"Cough cough cough..." Prince Xin choked on his own saliva.

He stared in astonishment at Qi Zhiyu, whose expression remained unchanged.

She continued to sip her tea leisurely, as if what she had just said was nothing more than a casual remark.

However, he felt that... Qi Zhiyu was not joking.

If it were possible, she would really do that.

"She shouldn't be so stupid as to betray Da Rui." As soon as Prince Xin finished speaking, he saw Qi Zhiyu look up and smile at him.

Her eyes clearly showed approval.

She thinks he's smart?

It was because he figured out why Qi Zhiyu had chosen Jinyi?

Qi Zhiyu was indeed serious; she really knew how to do it!

If Jin Yi betrays Da Rui and causes irreparable damage to Da Rui, Qi Zhiyu will really do it.

"I hope so." Qi Zhiyu stood up and slowly straightened her sleeves.

"After all, my father and the others still like Da Rui very much and don't like to see the world in chaos and people suffering."

"Therefore, anyone who wants to displace the people of this world is my enemy."

She was trying so hard to restrain herself, and she didn't act according to her usual habits.

Why should others be allowed to start wars with impunity?

Do you really think she has no temper?

"Uncle, I'm going back now," Qi Zhiyu said, and walked out.

"Oh," Prince Xin replied casually.

After Qi Zhiyu left, Prince Xin leaned on the table next to him with one hand and sat down, exhausted.

My legs went weak...

Fortunately, I managed to hold on and save face.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for me to be so scared in front of my niece.

Once things are resolved here, the first thing he'll do upon returning to Beijing is to ask his older brother.

Who exactly is my niece?

That's terrifying.

Prince Xin was frightened, but the Third Princess was truly furious.

Qi Yan kept trying to comfort her along the way, but the Third Princess became increasingly angry.

Qi Yanhe was familiar with this tactic and knew how to sow discord between the Third Princess and Da Rui, making her feel that Emperor Kangwu was biased.

Qi Yanhe was quite adept at this kind of thing.

Once they reached the border city of Qi, they settled down temporarily.

The third princess didn't get a good night's sleep at all.

Her mind was filled with Qi Zhiyu's arrogant face, which kept her tossing and turning until dawn before she finally drifted off to sleep.

So, when she got up, it was almost noon.

After the third princess finished washing up, she casually asked, "Where is the prince?"

"Your Highness, the Prince has gone to see the fine horses to be given to Da Rui this time," the maid reported.

"What's so interesting about that?" The Third Princess pouted.

Qi Zhiyu is really something.

Didn't Qi Zhiyu know that needing so many horses would be a significant loss for the Qi Kingdom?

Even the Emperor listened to Qi Zhiyu.

Didn't Father Emperor ever consider that her husband might be blamed by the King of Qi for promising to send a fine horse to Da Rui?

When her husband is impeached by the ministers, her life will not be easy either.

Even so, Father still won't admit he's biased; he's hopeless.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, be careful..." came an anxious voice from the courtyard.

The third princess jumped to her feet and rushed out, asking, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Why are you in such a sorry state, and covered in blood?

"It's nothing," Qi Yan said with a smile, reassuringly. "I just suffered a minor injury, but it's already been treated."

"How did you get injured?" the Third Princess roared. "How dare anyone in Qi Kingdom harm the Prince?"

"Who is it? Arrest them and execute them by slow slicing!"

Qi Yanhe smiled helplessly and said, "It's a horse."

The third princess was stunned: "A horse?"

"Hmm." Qi Yanhe was helped into the room by the servant and sat down.

After the Third Princess sat down, he continued, "This time the wild horse hasn't been tamed yet; it suddenly became very wild just now."

"The horse trainer lost control, and the situation was urgent. I went to control the runaway horse, and that's when I got injured."

"Slaughter that horse!" the third princess gritted her teeth in hatred.

"How dare it injure the Prince! It deserves to die!"

Qi Yan shook his head and said, "That won't do."

"Those fine horses are limited; killing them wouldn't be enough for Da Rui."

"By the way, I see there are a few wild horses, they're untamed. I was thinking of using the soldiers' usual mounts to replace them before sending them to Da Rui."

"Otherwise, if those horses get into an accident in Da Rui and injure Prince Xin and the princess, that would be bad."

As soon as Qi Yan finished speaking, he was not surprised to see that the Third Princess's eyes lit up.

He sneered inwardly, thinking, "What an idiot."

"Your Highness, I cannot agree with what you have said," the Third Princess said, frowning.

"The soldiers' everyday mounts are those that have been used and trained with them on the battlefield."

"If we rashly replace them with unfamiliar horses, how will they fight?"

"Their strength has been weakened."

When the Third Princess said this, she never considered that when the soldiers of Qi went to the battlefield, the first people they would fight would be the soldiers of Da Rui.

Her mind is now filled with a beautiful image.

A thousand horses galloped, trampling Qi Zhiyu into a bloody pulp!

"But... those wild horses are just too wild. I'm worried that the people of Da Rui won't be able to tame them," Qi Yan said with difficulty.

The Third Princess immediately shook her head: "Your Highness is mistaken."

"When we gave them the horses, we already told them that there would be some untrained wild horses among them."

"They agreed to it themselves."

"If anything goes wrong, it will be Chen An's responsibility!"

The third princess became more and more excited as she spoke.

Even if Qi Zhiyu doesn't die under the horses' hooves, when those wild horses rampage and injure the people, causing trouble, won't it all be blamed on Qi Zhiyu?

She wanted to see what kind of explanation Qi Zhiyu would give then.
