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

The King of Wu choked on his words, then angrily questioned, "What if he couldn't be saved?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said casually, "I'll pay with my life."

King Wu didn't believe Qi Zhiyu's words at all: "A princess paying for her subject's life?"

Do you think he's stupid?

Given how favored Qi Zhiyu was, even if the Duan brothers really died, his father would still protect Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu looked at King Wu in surprise: "The people who provide medicine for the entire Great Rui army, if they die because of me, let alone me being a princess, even if they were princesses or princes, wouldn't it be only right for them to pay with their lives?"

"With them here, the soldiers are safe and sound; with the soldiers safe and sound, the country is secure; with the country secure, the people are at peace and happy."

"How dare princes and grandsons of emperors place themselves before the common people and the nation?"

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, the hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It would be a lie for the civil and military officials not to be moved.

Regardless of whether Princess Chen'an was telling the truth or not, at least she said it.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, everything Princess Chen'an has done since her return has been beneficial to Da Rui and its people.

Of course, while benefiting Da Rui, it also severely crushed the King of Wu.

Cough... that's not important.

For neutral subjects, this is not a concern at all.

For the people of Ruiwang, the fact that they didn't set off firecrackers directly shows that they were kind-hearted and didn't kick someone when they were down.

Only the ministers who followed the King of Wu felt a mix of emotions, a bitter taste in their mouths.

Grand Secretary Zhang sighed inwardly; the princess was indeed no ordinary person.

He might not believe it if others said it, but he absolutely believed it when the princess said it!

Because if the princess didn't prioritize the people and the nation, given her temperament, the world would have been in chaos long ago!

Grand Secretary Zhang turned to look at Emperor Kangwu, whose face was full of pride, and a smile appeared on his lips.

With such a granddaughter, it's no wonder His Majesty is so proud of himself.

As for Prince Rui, Grand Secretary Zhang didn't even need to look; he knew exactly how Prince Rui would react.

He was worried that reading it would be bad for his eyes.

The King of Wu was completely stunned, his mind filled with question marks.

He was merely questioning the veracity of Qi Zhiyu's words, and Qi Zhiyu immediately elevated him to this level?

And take the opportunity to promote yourself?

Where is Qi Zhiyu's face?

Does she still want it?

"So, does the King of Wu have any further objections?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile.

"With the Emperor's grandfather here, and all the civil and military officials as witnesses, are you still not at ease?"

The King of Wu felt he had fallen into another trap.

The question is, when exactly did Qi Zhiyu dig this hole?

Now he's stuck here, he has no choice but to agree.

There was a pit ahead, but he was forced to move forward. This feeling was... frustrating!

This is so frustrating!

"Does anyone have any opinions?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Her gaze casually swept around.

Although there was nothing unusual, the people in the hall felt a sudden tightness in their hearts, and an inexplicable chill surged forth, quickly spreading throughout their limbs and bones, causing them to shiver involuntarily.

Qi Zhiyu clapped her hands happily and looked at Emperor Kangwu: "Grandfather, no one has any objections."

Grand Secretary Zhang: "..."

What a shameless princess!

With the princess's imposing presence, who would dare to object?

Besides, it's just a competition; it doesn't require everyone to fight to the death.

Everyone, naturally, is a wise person to yield to circumstances and will not voice any objections.

"To be fair, the medicinal herbs will be obtained from the Imperial Medical Academy," Qi Zhiyu said. "This will prevent any unfairness from being compromised by using some strange or unusual herbs."

Everyone agrees with what Qi Zhiyu said.

In other words, both poison and antidote must be selected from existing medicinal materials.

This makes it even clearer which side has better medical skills.

After Emperor Kangwu gave his instructions, someone went to the Imperial Hospital to fetch the medicine. At the same time, the imperial physicians also arrived to witness the event.

The medicinal herbs on both sides are exactly the same, and the tools are also ready.

"Fifth brother, all these years, I had no idea you were a doctor." Duan Yiyuan stared at Duan Yining with a forced smile.

Duan Yining just smiled and said, "It's normal that my brother is too busy to know."

This lukewarm reply only fueled Duan Yiyuan's anger.

People he usually doesn't take seriously dare to embarrass him in public.

Duan Yining has really become more capable.

After he finishes dealing with the current matters, he will go home and have a good talk with Duan Yining.

He wanted to teach Duan Yining what it meant to respect elders and juniors!

Qi Zhiyu said, "Let's settle this with one game."

"Chen'an, I'm afraid this is inappropriate," said the King of Wu.

"What if they tie?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "You're overthinking it."

"Given Duan Yining's skill level, a draw is unlikely to occur."

After hearing this, the King of Wu burst into laughter: "So, Chen'an, you already had a conclusion."

"Since the ending is already predetermined, why waste everyone's time making them put on an act?"

Qi Zhiyu looked at King Wu with confusion: "What do you mean by this?"

"Your medical skills are superb, everyone knows that. Now that you've produced a poison prescription, how can Duan Yining not win?" King Wu sneered repeatedly.

Qi Zhiyu blinked. Was the backlash from bad luck really that strong?

Is this something a person with a brain would say?

The Heavenly Dao here is indeed problematic.

Emperor Kangwu sat there, sighing inwardly, "Thankfully, Chen'an has returned."

They were just rescued from Da Rui, otherwise... Da Rui would have perished under the fourth prince!

Qi Zhiyu raised her hand and pointed to her temple with her index finger: "King Wu, next time you speak, please move that thing on your neck."

"That thing doesn't just grow to increase height."

The King of Wu blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to, and everyone in the hall looked at Qi Zhiyu with mixed feelings.

The princess is really outspoken.

However, it's also the King of Wu's fault; how could he say such a foolish thing?

"Your Majesty!" King Wu roared, "Have I said something wrong?"

"Didn't you give Duan Yining the prescription beforehand?"

"You definitely won't believe me if I say I didn't give it to you." Qi Zhiyu shrugged and sighed helplessly.

Does it matter whether I give it to them or not?

"After all, I didn't know that your princess would make trouble for me at my victory celebration banquet."

The King of Wu did not trust Qi Zhiyu at all.

She's a master of these tactics!

They can even turn black into white!

"However, you proposed this competition. From the very beginning, this competition has been unfair." King Wu bluntly exposed Qi Zhiyu's conspiracy.

"You dare say you didn't use any tricks? You didn't resort to any schemes or plots?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "I really disdain such things as intrigue."

"If you insist on calling it scheming, let me tell you, I used an open strategy. As for the source of my confidence, it's Duan Yining's strength."

"He will win!"
