"Of course, it will take some time for things to get chaotic in northern Yunnan."

The prince of Northern Yunnan was no pushover either.

Prince Ning was deeply favored by the Emperor of Northern Yunnan, but his power base was ultimately unstable.

Of course, she didn't expect Prince Ning to overthrow the Crown Prince of Northern Yunnan and take the throne himself.

As long as things get chaotic in northern Yunnan, that's fine.

"Let's weaken the strength of Northern Yunnan first, and in the meantime, we'll take over the Qi Kingdom!" Qi Zhiyu said casually.

"After annexing the Qi Kingdom and expanding our military strength, we will launch a full-scale attack while the Northern Dian Kingdom is weakened by internal strife!"

"We cannot attack rashly; we must find a reasonable reason."

Qi Zhiyu clapped her hands and said with a smile, "For example, the pretext of patricide is quite good."

"Whether it was the Crown Prince of Northern Yunnan who murdered his father or the Prince of Ning... it doesn't matter. As long as we have a legitimate reason to send troops, that's fine."

Prince Xin swallowed hard. "My dear niece, do you mean that if the King of Northern Dian hadn't died at the hands of his own son, you would have helped them?"

"Mmm." Qi Zhiyu smiled sweetly, "I can do this good deed."

King Xin: "..."

He estimated that neither the Crown Prince of Northern Yunnan nor the Prince of Ning liked being helped like this.

"By the way, what important matter are we here to discuss?" Qi Zhiyu suddenly remembered why she had been called over.

Wasn't the situation in northern Yunnan quite well arranged?

Prince Xin suddenly found himself unable to utter a single word when faced with his eldest niece's bewildered eyes.

He turned his head helplessly to look at his older brother.

Prince Rui snorted: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I told you, you didn't need to come with me."

Even if they need to discuss something, the two of them can just meet up.

They still had to go to great lengths to gather everyone together.

is it necessary?

Qi Jingchen lowered his head to suppress a laugh, and Princess Rui's eyes were also full of smiles.

Qi Jingxi laughed heartily: "Second Uncle, you're not worried about the person who falsely accused my father, are you?"

"What do those small fry matter?"

After hearing this, Prince Xin laughed and said, "Indeed, everything was as you expected. I was making a mountain out of a molehill."

"What Second Uncle did was not wrong," Qi Zhiyu said. "No opponent should be underestimated."

"Slight deviations can often affect the final outcome of things."

"And I would never allow such a thing to happen."

"I may look down on even a tiny flying insect, but I absolutely cannot allow it to affect me."

Qi Jingxi blinked: "Sis, it's true that you're cautious, but a little flying insect..."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "At the crucial moment in a battle, if it hits you directly in the eye, and you instinctively close your eyes, the enemy's knife might fall at the same time."

Qi Jingxi's expression immediately changed: "Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"The chances of it happening are slim, but I don't want to gamble." Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly. "As long as it still has some use, I can ignore it."

"It's worthless, just kill it."

Qi Jingxi remained silent, stunned.

Prince Rui scoffed, "What? Have you gone mad?"

"I told you to use your brain more often, you're just lazy."

"You should study hard and not think so highly of outsiders."

"If you live so naively all the time, someone will sell you out, and you'll still have to count the money for them."

Qi Jingxi was unhappy: "Dad, I'm not stupid. I just think there's something wrong with what my sister said just now."

"Oh?" Prince Rui asked in surprise.

Did his daughter say something wrong?

The key point is, this brat actually found out the mistake?

How strange!

"Where?" Prince Rui asked.

Prince Xin, Qi Zhiyu, and the others all looked at him.

Qi Jingxi said seriously, "When those little flying insects have value, my sister won't ignore them; instead, she'll exploit them relentlessly!"

"My sister misspoke here, hahaha... Ouch!" Qi Jingxi covered her head, tears welling in her eyes as she complained, "It's one thing for Dad to hit me, but Mom, Big Brother, why are you all doing it together?"

Prince Rui completely ignored him, instead looking at Princess Rui and asking worriedly, "Did your hand hurt?"

"It's alright." Princess Rui smiled slightly.

She was careful not to hit the child.

After all, it was her own child; she couldn't very well beat it to death, could she?

Qi Jingxi stared incredulously. Was no one even looking at him?

He was the one who got beaten up!

It's him!

Qi Zhiyu chuckled quietly, "Second Brother is right, I misspoke just now."

Qi Jingxi immediately perked up, stood up, put her hands on her hips, and looked smugly at her parents.

Prince Rui raised his hand.

Qi Jingxi immediately shrank back and obediently sat back down.

All you do is bully him...

Prince Rui looked at Prince Xin and said, "I will handle the rest."

"You've just gotten back, take a rest first. There will be many more opportunities to use your skills in the future."

There's no need to rush.

Prince Xin nodded.

Princess Rui got up and left with the children first, letting the two brothers catch up.

After Princess Rui and the others left, Prince Xin's pent-up emotions exploded: "Brother, now...it's truly wonderful!"

Prince Rui looked at Prince Xin, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and laughed: "How old are you? You cry at the drop of a hat."

Prince Xin completely ignored his elder brother's teasing: "Brother, what's going on with the fourth brother?"

Prince Rui paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let me tell you about what happened in the city recently. Let's start with my daughter's return..."

Prince Xin also wanted to know what had happened, so he listened very attentively.

After he finished listening, he fell completely silent.

He got it.

There's something indescribable about this.

When the fourth prince was the crown prince, his conduct was quite commendable.

At that time, he felt that although the fourth brother was not as outstanding as the eldest brother, he was still quite calm and composed.

He knew that his personality was not suited for that position. When his eldest brother stepped down to his fourth brother, he had doubts but did not question it.

There must be a reason why the eldest brother made that decision.

Now it seems... my elder brother had no choice.

Fortunately, my eldest niece came back.

"Fourth brother will definitely have more tricks up his sleeve. Eldest brother... are you all ready?" Prince Xin asked with some concern.

"We're doing alright," Prince Rui replied, a response that puzzled Prince Xin.

If you're prepared, you're prepared; if you're not prepared, you're not prepared.

What does "not bad" mean?

"It mainly depends on how much my daughter wants," Prince Rui sighed.

"The King of Wu will certainly lose one of his ministers, and Wan Yongliang will not escape the same fate."

At this point, Prince Rui praised, "The fourth prince is indeed capable."

"Wan Yongliang has never shown any trace of himself. I never imagined that he was also one of Lao Si's men."

"Zuo Tongzheng... No wonder the fourth prince knows so much about what news the court has."

Prince Xin frowned: "Brother, isn't this a bit off?"
