The court officials were not so easily persuaded.

In the Qi Kingdom, he went to great lengths to persuade the ministers in order to implement some new policies for His Majesty.

Qi Zhiyu actually had the ability to easily persuade the officials of Da Rui?

Qi Yan gave a mocking smile, it was unclear who he was mocking: "Persuade? No, she'll kill them all."

Li Zhuowen: "?"

"How dare she be so arrogant?" Li Zhuowen exclaimed in shock and anger. "Emperor Kangwu actually allows her to run rampant?"

"Would the civil and military officials of Da Rui swallow their anger?"

Li Zhuowen's surprised question prompted Qi Yanhe to give a self-deprecating laugh: "Lord Li, how did you just lose to Qi Zhiyu?"

Li Zhuowen choked, and an answer vaguely appeared in his chaotic mind.

Qi Yanhe wasn't sure if he was speaking to Li Zhuowen or to himself: "Qi Zhiyu will use very legitimate and reasonable reasons to make those people die!"

"She would use the moral high ground to kill those people and still gain the support and praise of the people."

Li Zhuowen was shocked: "Why didn't Your Highness mention this in the letter you sent back?"

Qi Yan was furious and slammed his fist on the table: "Except for the letter I sent out in Yanyun City at the end, which I wrote very cryptically."

"The other letters I sent from the capital of Da Rui all described what had happened."

"Didn't you all see clearly what kind of person Qi Zhiyu is?"

"You haven't even figured out Qi Zhiyu's methods, and you're already here negotiating with her?"

Li Zhuowen was stunned and didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, he finally spoke with a sigh, "Of course I've studied it, but..."

Qi Yanhe continued without him needing to speak: "But even though you could see the trap right in front of you, you couldn't control yourself and could only walk straight towards it and jump in, right?"

Just like he felt back then.

They could clearly see the path Qi Zhiyu had drawn, but it felt like a car stuck in a muddy road after the rain.

It can only move forward along that track; the wheels can't be tilted to the side at all.

This feeling of powerlessness is truly unbearable.

"Never mind, we'll figure something out when we get back." Qi Yan was much more at ease now.

Although he bears some responsibility for the loss of Yanyun City, Li Zhuowen is a trusted minister of his imperial brother.

He caused Qi State to suffer losses, and wasn't Li Zhuowen the same?

It seems better that someone is sharing his elder brother's anger.

This is, after all, the territory of the Prince of Xin, so there are some things that are not easy to say.

Anyway, he still has the third princess of Da Rui in his hands, and there's also that ambitious guy, King Wu, in Da Rui.

As long as the King of Wu desires that position, the connection with him will never be severed.

They can plan before they act.

Li Zhuowen nodded.

Given the current situation, this is the only option.

Li Zhuowen and Qi Yan were all eager to return home; moreover, they felt extremely uncomfortable staying here.

They felt it was a humiliation to stay there for even a moment longer.

Qi Yan and his belongings were already packed, so there was nothing to prepare.

After a day of rest, they were about to leave.

The night before she left, the Third Princess went to see Prince Xin.

However, the person she met was Qi Zhiyu.

"Why is it you? Where is Prince Xin?" the Third Princess questioned with displeasure.

"Uncle is very busy and doesn't have time to see irrelevant people." Qi Zhiyu smiled. "I'm the only one free. What do you want? Speak up."

"An unrelated person?" The Third Princess stared at Qi Zhiyu incredulously. "You're saying I'm an unrelated person?"

"Otherwise what?" Qi Zhiyu wondered why the Third Princess would ask such an absurd question.

It's obvious, why is the Third Princess asking so many questions?

"I am Prince Xin's younger sister!" The Third Princess puffed out her chest. "I am the Third Princess of Da Rui."

"Well, so?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

The Third Princess choked on her words, and Qi Zhiyu still had no idea what to say.

"Isn't my identity enough to explain everything?" The Third Princess glared angrily at Qi Zhiyu. "Did you say something bad about me to my brother?"

"Chen An, you're always stirring up trouble and spreading rumors. You're a despicable person."

If it weren't for Qi Zhiyu, her father and brother would never have treated her like this!

"Since you know I'm a villain, you should realize that no matter what you want to ask my royal uncle for, with me around, he won't agree." Qi Zhiyu directly exposed the Third Princess.

The third princess's expression changed: "You..."

Qi Zhiyu rested her chin on her hand, looking at the Third Princess with great interest and curiosity: "On what grounds do you come to my royal uncle asking for benefits?"

"Those things were given to us voluntarily by the Qi Kingdom."

"You're going back here again."

"Does Qi Yanhe know?"

"With such a flip-flopping, how do you think the world will view the State of Qi?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess immediately retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. My husband and the others know nothing about this."

"I came to see you privately."

"Don't those things get hot when you hold them?"

"It's not hot," Qi Zhiyu said matter-of-factly. "It seems Princess Qi has quite a problem with it."

Qi Zhiyu smiled and stood up.

"W-what are you going to do?" The third princess was so frightened that she instinctively backed away.

She now feels a pang of fear whenever she faces Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu didn't waste any words with her. She went over, grabbed the Third Princess's wrist, and started walking out.

"Chen'an, let me go, let me go!" The Third Princess struggled desperately.

Before the Third Princess could even see what was happening, Qi Zhiyu moved her hand, and her own hands were bound by her sleeve.

"You... um!" The Third Princess was about to speak when her mouth was stuffed with cloth, and she couldn't make a sound.

What's most infuriating is that the piece of cloth was torn off her clothes by Qi Zhiyu.

"Go, ask Qi Yan over there. If they're not happy, just start a war. Stop hiding behind women and playing tricks!" Qi Zhiyu shouted.

"Coward!"

"Yes!" The guards outside the door immediately rushed off.

The princess was always talking about war, which got all the brothers very excited.

I really want to march on the capital of Qi, capture the king of Qi, and annex Qi into our Great Rui!

With the princess present, they were confident they could agree.

They had all witnessed the princess's strength firsthand!

A short while later, Qi Yan rushed over: "Princess..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qi Zhiyu simply stopped him.

"Don't tell me that with so many people on your side, you can't keep an eye on your princess."

"She came by carriage. How could you not know that the carriage left your place?"

Qi Yanhe took a deep breath and went straight to the point: "What does the Princess wish to do?"

He cursed the Third Princess in his heart.

They really can't handle even the smallest things.

If she can't see Prince Xin, what else is there to say?

Telling Qi Zhiyu... is that as if they think their Qi Kingdom isn't unlucky enough?

"Write a certificate." Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly. "The things you sent this time are to thank our Great Rui for protecting your Qi Kingdom over the years."

Qi Yan stared at Qi Zhiyu in astonishment. Had she even blocked this path?
