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

"I am injured," Prince Ning said with a stern face.

The envoy nodded: "I understand."

"I never imagined that Prince Xin's martial arts skills have improved so much recently," the envoy remarked. "Your Highness, you've clashed with Prince Xin many times before, and never before have you seen anything like this..."

The envoy was immediately struck by Prince Ning's grim expression: "What? Did Prince Xin resort to underhanded tactics this time?"

"As expected, Prince Xin is cunning; otherwise, Your Highness would not have been injured and captured."

"Shut up!" Prince Ning cursed angrily. "You know nothing, what are you guessing for?"

The envoy was puzzled and subconsciously asked, "Your Highness, why...?"

"Shut up!" Prince Ning roared. "This is none of your business."

"Go back quickly and prepare the things so that they can be delivered to the capital of Da Rui as soon as possible."

The envoy asked, puzzled, "Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry to agree to their conditions?"

"We can definitely talk about this again."

Prince Ning took a deep breath in anger, but the movement aggravated his injuries, causing him to wince in pain: "I'm injured, can't you see?"

Why did Father send such an idiot?

My brain doesn't work well, and my hearing doesn't work well either!

The envoy was completely bewildered: "What does this have to do with anything?"

Prince Xin and the others didn't mistreat the prince!

"You know nothing!" Prince Ning roared. "Get back to your duties immediately!"

Unable to get an answer, the envoy could only agree repeatedly and leave in haste.

Prince Ning pressed his chest and couldn't help but shudder.

He never expected Qi Zhiyu to be so ruthless.

Just now, he took his medicine as usual. Who would have thought that there would be a problem after taking medicine for so many days?

As soon as it was drunk, unbearable pain erupted from within the body.

That kind of pain is completely unbearable for a human being.

He had practiced martial arts since childhood and was used to enduring hardship and pain, but the pain was so intense that he couldn't even make a sound, let alone struggle.

Fortunately, the person who delivered the medicine then put another pill in his mouth, and the excruciating pain disappeared just as suddenly as it had appeared.

The person relayed Qi Zhiyu's words.

Either North Yunnan agrees to their proposed exchange conditions, or he uses the medication in this way during the negotiations between the two countries.

He knew without asking that if he were given the medicine like this, it would definitely not be a matter of just a short while.

Therefore, after seeing the conditions proposed by Prince Xin, he agreed without hesitation.

They did not want any cities in northern Yunnan.

He can make the decision!

He was now eagerly anticipating returning home so he could tell his father about Princess Chen'an, Da Rui.

This is so abnormal!

With this person in Da Rui's ranks, many of their plans have to be redone.

The envoy was puzzled, and Prince Xin was equally curious: "My dear niece, what did you do to Prince Ning?"

Qi Zhiyu looked over in confusion.

Prince Xin explained, "Prince Ning is not one to fear death. I think it must have been your doing that made him agree so readily."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Even if you're not afraid of death, you'll still be afraid that life is worse than death."

"It's actually quite pitiful that someone is enduring excruciating pain but can't even bring themselves to commit suicide, isn't it?"

Prince Xin: "...So, what exactly did you do?"

"It's nothing," Qi Zhiyu said casually. "It just gave Prince Ning a taste of what life would be like if they didn't agree."

"It was just a bowl of medicine, but it made him feel completely powerless and like he was experiencing a living hell."

"Therefore, as long as he doesn't cross the line on the territory of northern Yunnan, he won't have any other choice."

"Before having him pushed over, I let him experience it a bit. Look..." Qi Zhiyu spread her hands, "He agreed quite readily."

King Xin: "..."

He didn't consider himself a gentleman.

He was just an ignorant child.

His niece's methods... were beyond his reach!

"Uncle, things are almost done here," Qi Zhiyu said. "I'm going to take care of my own business."

"Is there anything else you need?" Prince Xin asked in surprise. "I'll take care of it for you."

"The capable person who brought me here back then," Qi Zhiyu smiled.

Prince Xin then remembered: "Ah, I had completely forgotten about him."

"He's been locked up in jail for quite a while."

"So, I have to go see him." Qi Zhiyu stood up. "I'll return to the city tomorrow. As for Yanyun City, you can handle things here yourself, Uncle."

"I've finished dealing with things over there, so I'm heading straight back to Beijing."

"Alright." Prince Xin nodded. "Whatever you need, have them prepare it for you."

"Mm," Qi Zhiyu replied casually.

Prince Xin waited until Qi Zhiyu left before sitting back down.

He was thinking about a problem.

His methods are somewhat naive compared to those of his eldest niece.

After returning to Beijing, he wanted to have a serious talk with his older brother.

The eldest brother has been lying low all these years. Could it be that he has become that terrifying?

My niece has only been back for a short time, how come she has already become like her older brother?

Could he perhaps learn from his older brother?

Prince Xin had his own plans, but he wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to handle things in Yanyun City first.

After all, everything needs to be properly arranged in a newly conquered city.

When Qi Zhiyu saw the man again, he was wearing prison clothes and no longer possessed the refined and otherworldly air he had when they were in the bamboo house in the mountains.

"This humble subject pays respects to the Princess." Upon seeing Qi Zhiyu, the man immediately knelt down and bowed.

Where is the pride of those days?

For so long, he was locked up in the cell. Although he wasn't tortured, he was constantly on edge.

At first, he was ambitious and thought that Qi Zhiyu would value him because of his talent.

However, as time went on, he became increasingly panicked.

He may be talented, but that doesn't mean his family can stand up to the imperial court.

If Qi Zhiyu really kills him, what can he do?

So now he's scared.

"Come on, tell me," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh, "What exactly do you want?"

Qi Zhiyu didn't tell him to get up, so the man could only kneel obediently, all his arrogance gone.

"This humble one desires...to soar to the heavens." The man looked up, his eyes revealing a clear ambition.

"I know I have the ability, but the imperial examination is too slow."

"Therefore, I had outsiders teach me my skills in the hopes of attracting someone who appreciates talent to help me rise to prominence."

Qi Zhiyu smiled gently: "You're quite frank."

The man smiled wryly: "The princess has seen through my thoughts, so I have no choice but to confess."

"Capable, ambitious, and resourceful..." Qi Zhiyu nodded and chuckled, "Not bad."

The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately, Qi Zhiyu's next words made his heart leap into his throat: "Do you think I'm a fool who would believe your nonsense?"

The man was shocked: "Princess, what do you mean by that?"

"Trying to play the high and mighty game, so you try a different approach?" Qi Zhiyu sneered. "What you're doing is all stuff I already knew how to do back in the day!"
