"Simple," Qi Zhiyu said without hesitation.

"Ten thousand taels of silver, plus your clarification notice, Prince Qi."

"I can have the prince write on the notice that the prince misunderstood my royal uncle because he was too worried about the people."

Qi Yanhe: "..."

"Why should the prince write the notice for you?" The third princess was the first to disagree.

If this is written down, what will happen to the prince's reputation?

"You don't have to write it," Qi Zhiyu scoffed. "Then..."

"I'll write it," Qi Yanhe agreed without hesitation.

The Third Princess stared at Qi Yan in shock: "Your Highness, how could you...?"

Qi Yan smiled and said, "It is true that I am concerned about the people and am too worried and anxious, which is why I misunderstood Prince Xin."

"It was right to put up that notice."

The Third Princess felt a deep sadness, as if a knife had been plunged into her heart.

The prince must have compromised and made concessions for her sake.

"Chen'an, can't you spare the prince this trouble for my sake?" the Third Princess asked Qi Zhiyu.

Although she felt that the chances of Qi Zhiyu agreeing were slim, she still wanted to give it a try.

Qi Zhiyu looked at the Third Princess with a hurt expression: "Third Princess, you...you think it's shameful for your husband to write a clarification notice, so it's acceptable for your brother to bear a bad reputation, even implicating the entire Great Rui royal family, and being scorned by the world?"

The Third Princess felt the Prince Xin's gaze on her face, and she hurriedly shook her head to explain, "No, that's not it, Your Majesty, I didn't mean that."

"You say you don't, but your actions speak louder than words." Qi Zhiyu helplessly spread her hands.

"Princess, I was indeed wrong in this matter." Qi Yanhe quickly stopped the Third Princess.

If she continued, he felt that it wouldn't be something that could be resolved with ten thousand taels and a clarification notice.

"Come, prepare pen and ink for Prince Qi," Qi Zhiyu ordered directly, without any delay.

"By the way, Prince Qi, please have your men go back and get the silver."

"Now?" Qi Yanhe looked at Qi Zhiyu in surprise.

"Of course," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh. "If you want to apologize, you naturally need to be sincere."

"Can you feel at ease until the compensation money is delivered immediately?"

Don't you feel guilty?

"Don't you feel embarrassed?"

"After all, Prince Qi is a respectable man. If he has caused trouble for others, he will definitely want to make amends."

"We can't be like those shameless scoundrels who just drag things out!"

Qi Yan gritted his teeth and called out, "Someone, go back and fetch ten thousand taels of silver!"

"Yes!" Qi Yanhe's guard immediately responded and hurriedly left, riding back at full speed to retrieve the silver.

At this moment, the brush and ink were ready, and Qi Yanhe began to write.

Prince Xin then snapped out of his daze.

Even so, his mind was still buzzing.

Things were moving too fast for him to keep up.

How did things escalate to the point where Qi Yanhe had to compensate him with ten thousand taels of silver?

The whole thing seemed absurd, but upon closer examination, it made perfect sense.

He was misunderstood, and if the news got out, it would indeed be bad for their Great Rui royal family.

Moreover, if Qi Yanhe does not agree to compensation and write a clarification notice, they have every reason to go to war with Qi State.

They, Da Rui, are in the right.

Therefore, Qi Yanhe had no other choice but to listen to Chen An and provide compensation plus a clarification notice.

He is now increasingly able to deeply understand the last sentence in the letter his elder brother gave him.

Listening to Chen An was definitely the right thing to do.

He now seemed to understand how the fine horses that Qi State had given to Da Rui came about.

Chen An, this is hardly a princess!

This is a sparkling golden doll!

After returning to Beijing, I secretly stole it from my older brother's house. I don't know if that's okay.

The matter has been explained clearly, and the deputy general led the soldiers and civilians away.

Qi Yanhe finished writing quickly. He put down his pen and looked at Qi Zhiyu: "Princess, I'm done."

Qi Zhiyu smiled and asked, "Prince Qi, where is your personal seal?"

Qi Yan took a deep breath before taking out his private seal from his pocket and stamping it on.

"Alright." Qi Zhiyu took the notice with satisfaction and handed it to Prince Xin. "Uncle, keep it safe."

"Princess, aren't you going to post it outside?" Qi Yanhe frowned.

"In Yanyun City, no one will misunderstand my royal uncle," Qi Zhiyu said proudly. "My royal uncle's character doesn't need proof; everyone has seen it for themselves."

Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat.

In just two days, Prince Xin has already won over the hearts of the people.

Judging from the people just now, it seems that Prince Xin has indeed succeeded.

Prince Xin is truly despicable and shameless, using wealth to win over the people.

The reason they're extorting 10,000 taels of silver from him now is because Prince Xin spent too much money winning people's hearts, so they're using him to recoup their losses.

Qi Yanhe utterly despised Prince Xin and Qi Zhiyu!

"No one's misunderstanding, so why did you still make the Prince write this?" The Third Princess held out her hand. "Give it to me!"

This thing should definitely be torn off.

If others saw this, how embarrassing it would be for the prince!

"Why should I give it to you?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused.

"You don't need it anymore, so of course you should give it to me!" the Third Princess said matter-of-factly.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled, "I won't, so what? Are you going to bite me?"

King Xin: "..."

My niece has a really unique way of handling things.

He thought she would reason with Jinyi.

Who would have thought that his eldest niece would resort to such shameless tactics!

If she doesn't give it to him, what can Jinyi do?

To be honest, Jin Yi really couldn't do anything about it.

Look, Jin Yi is so angry that her face is red.

"Princess, that was originally my responsibility to write," Qi Yanhe said with a smile, stopping the Third Princess.

"Moreover, we should thank Prince Xin for driving away the Northern Dian and saving Yanyun City of our Qi Kingdom."

After Qi Yan finished speaking, he bowed to Prince Xin and said, "Thank you."

"Why are you thanking us, Prince Qi, for this family matter?" Qi Zhiyu asked in confusion. "Beidian wants to launch a pincer attack on our Great Rui, and we will naturally not allow that to happen."

"We're simply taking back what's rightfully ours."

"Prince Qi, why are you being so polite with us?"

Qi Zhiyu looked completely bewildered, yet she appeared remarkably sincere.

Qi Yanhe really didn't expect Qi Zhiyu to be so shameless!

It's clearly Yanyun City of their Qi Kingdom, so how did it become Beidian in Qi Zhiyu's mouth?

Moreover, she took it back!

It's as if Yanyun City used to belong to Da Rui!

"Chen'an, what do you mean?" the Third Princess demanded angrily. "You want to seize our Qi Kingdom's cities?"

"Your Qi Kingdom's cities?" Qi Zhiyu looked at her amusedly. "Weren't these cities cities you didn't want?"

"We were just being kind and picked it up."

"Alas, we cannot bear to see the people in the city suffer from the ravages of war. After all, if Northern Dian were to capture the city, they could attack our Great Rui in the front and Qi Kingdom in the back."

"Given their belligerent nature, war is inevitable."

"Oh dear... we've actually helped the Qi Kingdom."

"I didn't even ask Qi Guo for any money as a thank-you fee. I've really lost out big time."
