"I'm just worried that you'll be in a difficult position later," Qi Yanhe sighed.

The third princess's heart melted completely: "The prince has already done so much for me."

"Besides, they themselves agreed to the presence of untamed wild horses inside."

"If there really is any problem, it's their own greed that caused it, and it has nothing to do with us."

Qi Yan smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say."

"I've already had people carefully calm those wild horses down, hoping that once they're sent there, nothing will go wrong."

After Qi Yanhe finished speaking, he saw the Third Princess's eyes darting around, and he knew that she was up to something again.

He knew exactly what she was thinking without even needing to guess.

The Third Princess was worried about Qi Yanhe's injuries and told him to rest well.

Once he was fast asleep, the Third Princess quietly left.

She gently closed the door from the outside, and Qi Yanhe, who was "sound asleep" on the bed, opened his eyes, his eyes filled with deep mockery.

Emperor Kangwu was wise and powerful, but unfortunately, his daughter was a brainless fool.

Back then, he easily hooked up with Da Rui with just a casual flirtation.

This time, he's determined to take the border cities of Da Rui.

After capturing that city, he returned to the capital, which would be a satisfactory explanation to his elder brother, the Emperor. Otherwise, his trip to Da Rui would have been a devastating loss!

Would Qi Zhiyu dare to cheat him?

Then let's use the city of Da Rui, and her life, to fill the gap!

Just as Qi Yan was scheming, Qi Zhiyu stood on the city wall gazing into the distance.

Prince Xin walked over and followed Qi Zhiyu's gaze. Over there was the city of Qi that was closest to their Great Rui.

"My dear niece, what are you looking at?" Prince Xin asked with a smile.

Qi Zhiyu casually said, "Let's take a look at the city of our Great Rui."

Prince Xin: "Cough cough cough..."

Qi Zhiyu looked over, puzzled.

Prince Xin coughed as he gave a thumbs up.

No wonder she's his eldest niece.

She can make even the most astonishing statements sound perfectly ordinary.

She's fine, but the problem is, didn't she consider how the people listening to her felt?

Qi Zhiyu didn't understand, but she didn't press for an answer.

What does it matter to her how others react?

As long as it doesn't affect her, it's fine.

"Uncle, have all our people been deployed?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Prince Xin stopped coughing and nodded with a smile: "Everything has been arranged."

"As long as Qi Yan and the others come... then there will be a good show."

When this was mentioned, Prince Xin was extremely excited.

"Don't worry, my dear niece, everything will be absolutely foolproof!" Prince Xin patted his chest and assured her.

He's not usually one to show his emotions, but he couldn't control himself because he was thinking about what was about to happen.

Prince Xin turned around, placed one hand on the cold city wall, and clenched his fingers slightly to calm his agitated emotions.

"Chen'an, I've been here for over two years," Prince Xin said. "This place perfectly separates Da Rui, Qi, and Bei Dian."

"With me here, Northern Dian cannot invade. For the Qi Kingdom, I serve as a protective barrier."

"Therefore, Qi State will also trade cold iron with Da Rui."

Only with Da Rui protecting Qi from the north could they obtain the Cold Iron.

In terms of quantity, Qi State definitely controlled it, but it's good to get some.

"Fighting here would make us vulnerable to being tied down," Qi Zhiyu said.

"Once the city over there belongs to Da Rui, it won't be so difficult to defend it again."

"The Imperial Uncle can return to the capital now."

Prince Xin smiled and said, "My dear niece, it's fortunate that you came."

Otherwise, since Da Rui has diplomatic relations with Qi, how would the world view Da Rui if they rashly send troops to attack Qi?

When that time comes, other countries will use the name of righteousness to attack Da Rui, and they will be in a very passive position.

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "Uncle, you've all worked hard these past years."

Prince Xin chuckled twice: "Born at the right time, I should not shirk my duty."

He is a prince of Da Rui, and this is the responsibility he must shoulder.

Moreover, he has the ability to do so, and it is his duty.

Qi Zhiyu smiled; this second uncle wasn't bad either.

"Then let's wait for Qi Yan and the others to bring their big gifts," Qi Zhiyu reminded them. "The Third Princess should be coming along too."

Prince Xin's face darkened: "Jinyi, you have finally become the Queen Consort of Qi."

Their princess of Da Rui is dead; now only the Queen Consort of Qi is alive.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, turned around and went down the city wall.

She likes people with clear minds like that.

She looked up at the mottled and strange aura. Why did the Heavenly Dao here not protect these normal people, but instead favor the King of Wu?

That's really weird.

She doesn't understand, so she doesn't try to understand.

Anyway, we can just fix it.

A few days later, Prince Xin and Qi Zhiyu went outside the city together.

A thousand fine horses, that would be quite a sight.

A well-trained horse is easy to lead.

The problem is that there are still some untamed wild horses.

That would require someone to supervise it.

These horses will not be delivered to the city immediately after they arrive.

What if there are any problems?

Naturally, we should set aside a special place to raise them for a period of time and observe them before making any decisions.

After the soldiers on Da Rui's side counted the number and confirmed that there were no errors, they reported to King Xin.

Qi Yanhe said with a smile, "Princess, all the fine horses we promised you have been delivered."

"Your Highness keeps his word." Qi Zhiyu nodded.

"Of course, we always keep our promises!" the Third Princess said proudly.

"These are all fine horses carefully bred by the Qi Kingdom; each one is of the highest quality."

Qi Zhiyu looked at the Third Princess with a puzzled expression: "Then please tell me, Third Princess, what's so good about these horses?"

The Third Princess choked, "Why is Qi Zhiyu asking such detailed questions?"

"Is there even a question? Her stamina and speed are definitely excellent!" the Third Princess said arrogantly, sticking out her neck.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and pointed, "That horse has less stamina, but it's fast."

"That horse has a weak stomach."

"That horse is even more timid; it can't charge into battle."

The Third Princess listened in a daze, then suddenly burst into laughter, her shoulders shaking with laughter: "Chen An, you're really going to make me laugh to death."

"You think we'll believe you just by pointing at a horse and saying whatever comes to mind?"

"You don't need to pretend like that."

"Anyway, nobody thinks you know anything about horses."

Qi Zhiyu scoffed, "Pretending to know everything?"

"Yeah, right." The Third Princess glanced at Qi Zhiyu disdainfully. "You act all knowledgeable, isn't it just to get people to look up to you?"

Qi Zhiyu's smile deepened: "You think too highly of me? I'm not that bored."

"It can't be that bad?" The Third Princess curled her lip in disdain. Qi Zhiyu still refused to admit it.

How disgusting!

"Then why did you say those things?" the Third Princess pressed.

She was determined to tear apart Qi Zhiyu's pretense and show everyone what kind of hypocrite Qi Zhiyu really was!

"I'm saying all this to ask..." Qi Zhiyu's gaze fell on Qi Yanhe's face, "Who are you trying to fool by sending these defective products from Qi Kingdom?"
