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

"That's not what I think. Then why do you feel that your prince can't stand up for the people?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

"Even with your lord here, the common people don't dare to speak the truth?"

The third princess opened her mouth, looking helplessly at Qi Yanhe.

Qi Yan felt a tightness in his chest. What a useless piece of trash who's good for nothing!

However, given her status as a princess of the Great Rui Kingdom, she still held some value, so he could only tolerate it.

"The princess is only worried about the people being wronged, so why is the princess so aggressive?" Qi Yanhe naturally wanted to stand on the side of the third princess.

Only in this way will she be of one mind with him and fight for the interests of the Qi Kingdom.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the Third Princess nodded repeatedly with a look of delight: "That's right, that's right, that's exactly it."

"Worried that the people will be wronged?" Qi Zhiyu covered her mouth in surprise, staring at Qi Yan and the Third Princess as if she had seen something terrifying.

"When you yourselves fled, you didn't seem to care about the lives of the people."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such oddballs. It's truly an eye-opening experience."

Qi Yan choked.

The third princess was so angry that her face turned red.

"Princess, we came here this time..." Qi Yanhe had only just begun to speak when Qi Zhiyu interrupted him.

"No, Your Highness Qi, let's continue talking about how the people have been wronged and bullied by the soldiers of our Great Rui."

Now that they've realized something's wrong, they want to let it go?

He wondered, did she agree?

"Fine, I'll speak!" the Third Princess declared defiantly. "The Prince and I both saw it—him!"

The Third Princess pointed at the soldier and said, "It's him. He not only insulted the people, but also tried to hit them."

"If the prince hadn't stopped them, the people would have been beaten!"

"You speak," Qi Zhiyu said, looking at the soldier.

The soldier cupped his hands and said, "Princess, it's not that I want to scold him, but he truly deserves to be scolded."

"Look at this, these are the soldiers of Da Rui. They really don't treat the common people like human beings!" the Third Princess mocked.

"Jinyi, do you think I'm not strict enough in managing my subordinates, and therefore unqualified as a commander?" Prince Xin spoke slowly, without a trace of anger in his voice.

However, anyone who isn't a fool knows that Prince Xin is angry, and very angry at that!

The Third Princess shook her head: "Royal brother, I'm not talking about you. But with so many people under your control, there must be a few troublemakers out there."

She didn't want to strain her relationship with her brother right now; she still had things to discuss later.

"Third Princess, would you like to hear what exactly happened back then?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

"If you won't listen and rely solely on your own assumptions to make judgments, then get out!"

Qi Zhiyu's impolite words made the Third Princess glare at her angrily.

Qi Zhiyu sneered, "Our Great Rui is not a pushover. If your Qi Kingdom wants to cause trouble, Great Rui will take it!"

"Not a single soldier of our Great Rui is a coward."

"Let's fight!"

The third princess roared angrily, "Fine, let's fight! You think I'm afraid of you?"

Prince Xin is no longer angry at all.

Getting angry at a brainless idiot is just asking for trouble.

"Princess!" Qi Yanhe called out. If he could, he really wanted to kick her to death!

She said she'd hit me, and I just started?

What caused the fight?

Just because she imagined that the soldiers of Da Rui were bullying the people of Qi?

He is now absolutely certain that things are not as he sees them or as he thinks.

In the end, the Qi Kingdom ignored them.

They're practically offering up an excuse to Da Rui so that Da Rui will send troops against Qi.

She made a foolish mistake, disregarding Da Rui's life or death. He wanted the Qi Kingdom to prosper and be stable!

"It's good that things are cleared up. There's no need to make a big fuss over such a small matter," Qi Yanhe patiently advised.

Qi Zhiyu sneered, "Your Highness, you're quite amusing."

"What was all that fuss about just now is now considered a trivial matter?"

"What? You know you're in the wrong, and you want to downplay it all?"

"We must get to the bottom of this!"

Qi Zhiyu coldly commanded, "Speak, what just happened?"

The soldier quickly saluted and said, "Your Highness, this man went to fetch firewood himself. We brothers were just standing there, and he didn't even ask us to fetch it for him."

"With his small frame, he fell flat on his face."

"There are so many of us standing there, and he just can't see us. What else could he be but blind?"

The man stammered, "The firewood was given to us by you, sirs, free of charge. How could I possibly trouble you?"

"What trouble? This is all ordered by the Prince and Princess," the soldier said in a muffled voice. "This is how it's always been in Da Rui."

Qi Yan stared at the soldier with a cold face.

Prince Xin really knows how to win people's hearts.

Look, that man's lips are trembling with emotion; he's really been fooled by those words.

Fortunately, he came. Otherwise, if Prince Xin had stayed here for a few more days, he would have fooled all the people of Yanyun City.

"Your Highness Qi, did you understand?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Qi Yan smiled slightly: "I misunderstood."

The third princess, with her neck stiff and a look of dissatisfaction on her face, said, "The prince also cares about the people."

Qi Zhiyu asked, "So, he questioned Prince Xin's character?"

The third princess choked.

Qi Yanhe closed her eyes. Could she not speak at this moment?

"What if my brother has a scoundrel in his hands?" The Third Princess still insisted on her opinion.

"Since you know this person is under my royal uncle's command, why don't you bring him here to see my royal uncle and let him deal with him?" Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"You're still questioning my royal uncle."

"I...I didn't! I didn't!" The third princess tried to explain, but found that no matter what she said, it was wrong.

"Chen An, you're too good at sowing discord!"

Qi Zhiyu looked at her amusedly: "Then please enlighten me, what did I provoke?"

Where did I say something wrong?

"Come on, everyone has plenty of time, take your time speaking, no one is in a hurry, everyone is listening attentively."

The third princess was lifted up, her mouth opened, but she couldn't utter a single word.

She didn't know what to say.

"Princess, I was too hasty." Qi Yanhe knew that he had no choice but to step in at this point.

He has important matters to attend to; there's no need for him to be distracted by such trivialities.

In any case, after Yanyun City was reclaimed and Prince Xin and his entourage left, the people remained the people of Qi Kingdom.

"I'm worried about the people, after all, we just experienced the attack by the Northern Yunnan." Qi Yanhe sighed with lingering fear.

"You think you can misunderstand my royal uncle just because you're worried about the people?" Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Prince Qi, let's be reasonable."

"Does my royal uncle even care about his reputation?"

"Don't you know that it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them?"

"If you keep talking about this outside, what will the people in the city think of my royal uncle?"

"What will other countries think of my royal uncle if word gets out?"

"If our Prince Rui's reputation is ruined, won't the entire Rui royal family be condemned by the world?"

Qi Yanhe: "...What does Your Highness think I should do?"

Qi Zhiyu's actions... he was very experienced.
