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

"Get the medicine according to the prescription and treat the injury," Prince Xin instructed.

The matter with Prince Ning is not a big deal; the main task now is to deploy troops in key positions in Yan Yun.

At that time, even if Qi Yanhe wanted to fight back, they would be able to protect Yan Yun.

There are still people in the city to appease. It's getting late, and Qi Yan won't be back tonight. They still have one more night.

Time is of the essence, we must hurry.

Fortunately, Chen An had told him about the plan to take down Yan Yun beforehand, and he had made all sorts of preparations.

Now that I've taken over, I'm busy but not chaotic.

While Prince Xin and his entourage were busy, Qi Zhiyu slept soundly all night.

The next day, she got up, washed up, and slowly ate her breakfast.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Qi Zhiyu went to find Prince Xin.

However, Prince Xin was not there.

"Where did my royal uncle go?" Qi Zhiyu frowned.

It was agreed beforehand that Yan Yun would be taken back.

What's wrong?

Was Prince Xin not prepared?

This would make her doubt the king's abilities.

"Your Highness, the Prince is comforting the people," the guard reported.

"Appease the people?" Qi Zhiyu didn't quite understand.

"Why should we appease the people?"

The guards were stunned after hearing Qi Zhiyu's words.

No.

How could a princess ask such a question?

This Yan Yun is from the State of Qi.

Although Qi Yan and his men were defeated and fled, the people of Yan Yun City were still the people of Qi Kingdom.

Naturally, we should try to appease them.

"Troublesome!" Qi Zhiyu frowned and walked straight out. "Take me to see my royal uncle!"

The guards hurriedly ran ahead to lead the way.

When Qi Zhiyu arrived, she found a large crowd gathered there.

With soldiers maintaining order, there was no sign of chaos.

Her royal uncle did a pretty good job in this regard, but...

Qi Zhiyu frowned.

The guards led Qi Zhiyu over, and Prince Xin asked in surprise, "Chen'an, what brings you here?"

"Uncle, what's going on here?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

What are these people doing, crowding around this open space for no reason?

Prince Xin laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the people are a little uneasy and want a guarantee."

Despite being a border town, there are still wealthy families here.

The people in the city were like headless flies, but at such a moment, they would choose to trust the various lords in the city.

Because in the eyes of ordinary people, those wealthy gentlemen are naturally more knowledgeable and capable than them.

The change of ownership of Yanyun City has left them uneasy, and they can only hope that the lords will intervene on their behalf.

This led to the scene where the heads of various families came to negotiate with Prince Xin.

"A guarantee?" Qi Zhiyu chuckled lightly. "These people want an explanation from you, Imperial Uncle?"

Prince Xin nodded: "The people are uneasy. These gentlemen are here on behalf of the people to understand the situation."

Qi Zhiyu's gaze swept over the men dressed in silk and satin in front of her.

He does have some wealth.

However, most people harbor a degree of greed in their eyes.

What's wrong?

Do they think that since Yanyun City has changed hands, they can take advantage of it and make a profit?

Qi Zhiyu then looked at the anxious people behind the men.

These people placed their hopes on these few men.

The people wanted a promise of stability, but unfortunately, they didn't know that the men they placed their hopes on were taking advantage of them.

She used the common people to put pressure on her royal uncle.

That's a great plan.

"Uncle, leave this to me." Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and took the responsibility upon herself.

"Okay." Prince Xin agreed without hesitation.

My niece is so capable, she'll definitely be able to handle this matter well.

Taking over a city is not just about occupying the place; more importantly, it's about winning over the people within.

With people, there is everything.

"Tell me, what are your demands?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

The men seemed a bit confused.

How can we get a young girl to talk to them?

However, after a brief moment of surprise, they were secretly delighted.

Dealing with a girl... that's much easier.

Of course, they didn't show it directly.

One of the men cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, it's not that we don't trust this young lady, but rather, this concerns the people of the city... We beg Your Highness to make the decision."

Prince Xin's face darkened: "Chen'an is my Princess Rui, and her decision is my decision!"

The man looked at Qi Zhiyu with some difficulty: "This..."

His blatant disbelief infuriated Prince Xin: "Do you think I would break my word?"

"This humble subject dares not!" the man waved his hands repeatedly.

He appeared fearful, but inside he was overjoyed.

Who in Yanyun City doesn't know the King of Ruixin?

There are some things that Prince Xin might not agree to, but this greenhorn girl... she's much easier to deal with.

"In that case, I, a humble citizen, will have the courage to act."

The man bowed respectfully to Qi Zhiyu: "Princess, now that Da Rui has entered Yanyun City, the people are filled with anxiety."

Qi Zhiyu looked at him, puzzled: "Why are you so anxious?"

The man almost burst out laughing when he heard that.

This princess is truly ignorant.

Ignorance is good.

Ignorance makes you easy to fool!

The man sighed heavily: "With the change of control of Yanyun City, we commoners are truly uneasy. We don't know how Your Highness and the Princess will govern Yanyun City."

"Everything is unknown, and we don't know what the future holds, so naturally we feel worried and afraid."

Therefore, they should be given some form of protection.

Just as the man was about to state his purpose, he heard Qi Zhiyu speak crisply, "Then you can leave."

The man was stunned, momentarily unable to believe what he was hearing: "Princess, what are you saying?"

"I said, if you feel uneasy, you can leave," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Da Rui's people won't stop you," Qi Zhiyu announced loudly. "Anyone who wants to leave can pack their belongings and leave now."

Those people never expected such an answer.

Can they leave?

They were originally from the Qi Kingdom, but now that Yanyun City has been conquered by the Great Rui Kingdom, will they become inferior to the original inhabitants of the Great Rui Kingdom?

The taxes are heavier, and the exploitation is more severe.

That's the real reason for their unease.

The man exclaimed in astonishment, "Princess, our home is here. If we leave... won't we become homeless?"

"So, you don't want to leave?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

The man choked on his words. Was this conversation appropriate?

Shouldn't we trust the king and his people and offer them various reassurances and benefits?

How come... the roles of active and passive have been completely reversed now?

Instead, they became the ones begging Da Rui?

"Princess, we are uneasy..." the man emphasized, still wanting to use the people in the city to put pressure on Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and asked, "What's bothering you?"

"After we entered Yanyun City, we did not harm the people in the slightest."

"When Qi Yan and his men escaped, and you were abandoned as pawns, you felt no unease."

"The officials of Yanyun City secretly left on their own, and not a single one guarded the city gates, leaving you to face the army of another country without any unease."

"What are you so uneasy about now, facing people like us who haven't harmed your interests in the slightest?"
