Even with her around, are there still people who bully her?

Qi Zhiyu quickly went through all the possible people, including anyone who was even remotely suspicious.

If they kill them all in one go, considering the distance, it will take at most half an hour.

"Yu'er?" Princess Rui patted Qi Zhiyu's shoulder with concern. "What's wrong?"

"Let's figure out a route," Qi Zhiyu said.

Princess Rui: "?"

"Think of a route? Where does Yu'er want to go? Does she not know how to get there?" This was the only thing Princess Rui could think of.

"Our driver knows all the fun places in the capital."

"At the very least, go to the Ministry of Personnel and take your second brother with you; he'll definitely know."

As a spoiled young master, Qi Jingxi's ability to have fun is unmatched.

"No." Qi Zhiyu shook her head and told the truth, "I'm killing those people who upset my mother, and I'm calculating the shortest route."

Princess Rui: "..."

"Daughter...it's not that bad, it really isn't."

Qi Zhiyu tilted her head slightly and looked at Princess Rui: "Mother is indeed unhappy."

Princess Rui was taken aback, and then felt a mix of tenderness and warmth in her heart.

My daughter is so thoughtful.

"I just heard some news that made me feel a little uneasy," Princess Rui sighed.

"After the banquet yesterday, the Prince of Wu probably pulled Qi Jinglin aside to discuss matters, and instead kicked Qi Jinghong out of the study."

"Qi Jinghong stood outside the Wu King's courtyard all night. He was only called in when the Wu King got up in the morning. He was then scolded and sent back to his own courtyard to reflect on his actions."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled, "Mother, you are so kind."

"Others have their own causes and effects, why bother?"

"The King of Wu feels that his grandfather has been unfair to him, but why doesn't he look at how he treats his own children?"

"Qi Jinghong today is a carbon copy of him back then, but he is not as good as his grandfather at all. At least his grandfather was not as snobbish as him."

"King Wu is like a mirror in his hand, reflecting all the faults of others, but he can't see any of his own problems."

Princess Rui sighed, "It's just a pity about Qi Jinghong. He was quite cute when he was little."

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow slightly, waiting for Princess Rui to continue.

"You know, Qi Jinghong has always wanted to compete. Is he worried that if Qi Jinglin takes over, he won't be able to survive?" Princess Rui frowned slightly.

"What do you think, should we lend him a hand?"

Qi Zhiyu's lips curled up: "Mother means to help Qi Jinghong and make him go against Prince Wu, Qi Jinglin?"

"At least it can put the child's mind at ease and save his life," Princess Rui said worriedly. "Isn't the child's condition a sign of worry about his future?"

"We can't let him take that position, but we can at least ensure he'll have enough to eat and wear in the future."

"Mother, you are truly kind!" Qi Zhiyu gave a thumbs up.

"He's just a child after all," Princess Rui said compassionately.

Qi Zhiyu laughed so hard her shoulders trembled slightly: "That's no problem. Princess Wu has also prepared a backup plan. Qi Jinghong's fiancée and concubines are also powerful. When the time comes, we'll just give them a push."

"We'll have my older brother figure out a way to handle this later," Qi Zhiyu advised.

"The person Mother helped back then works in the Wu Prince's mansion. With their help, they should be able to assist Qi Jinghong."

Princess Rui nodded in relief, a smile appearing on her face: "Yu'er understands her mother best."

Qi Zhiyu smiled: "Other countries have occupied our Great Rui territory for too long. Father should think with Grandfather about how to take it back as soon as possible."

"These kinds of minor internal matters can be handled by my eldest brother, second brother, and me."

"Mother, if anything happens in the future, just say it. If I hadn't met you, would you have had to solve it all by yourself?" Qi Zhiyu asked disapprovingly.

Princess Rui smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Mother sees that you are all busy. If you want to handle this small matter yourself, you can do so."

"Mom," Qi Zhiyu pouted in dissatisfaction, "we're family, and these are all things we can easily do, so it's more convenient for us to do them."

"What if Mom gets tired from doing it herself?"

"My eldest and second eldest brothers are men, they're tough and resilient, doing more work will help them get some exercise, won't it?"

At that moment, the two brothers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel sneezed simultaneously because their noses were itchy.

Qi Jingchen from the Ministry of Rites rubbed his nose with a handkerchief and continued with his work.

Qi Jingxi from the Ministry of Personnel: "I must be exhausted. I need to go home and rest."

"I'm going to ask for sick leave."

His colleagues in the Ministry of Personnel looked at the energetic Qi Jingxi and said, "..."

They couldn't accuse Qi Jingxi of slacking off, because he had done all the work that was his responsibility.

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking with Princess Rui and saw that her mother was no longer worried, she went out with peace of mind.

She went to a temple.

When the abbot saw Qi Zhiyu, he quickly went through all the recent events in his mind. After confirming that the accounts were clear and that he had not made any mistakes in his work, he finally felt relieved.

"Why are you so nervous when you see me?" Qi Zhiyu didn't quite understand.

The abbot smiled awkwardly: "This humble monk is worried that I haven't done enough and have let the princess down."

"Well, the fact that you're still alive means you did a good job," Qi Zhiyu affirmed his competence.

Abbot: "..."

Are all princesses this scary?

He should have known better than to have chosen to submit without hesitation back then; otherwise, he wouldn't know how many times he would have been reincarnated by now.

"Abbot," Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile, taking a sip of tea, "tell me, why are the talismans in your temple so effective?"

Abbot: "..."

That's a good question. He also wanted to know why the Taoist talismans in his temple were so effective.

Did the princess not think about this issue when she was making money?

"Do you think it's because this temple is blessed by the heavens and has some rare and precious treasures?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile.

Abbot: "..."

"May I ask, Princess, where should that rare and precious herb be located?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed heartily: "Abbot, no wonder you're the abbot, your mind is so quick."

The abbot clasped his hands together in prayer.

"I will handle it when the time comes. As for rumors..." Qi Zhiyu looked at the abbot.

The abbot understood: "This humble monk might accidentally let something slip."

"Very good." Qi Zhiyu was satisfied.

"Oh, right, this is for you." Qi Zhiyu tossed a small porcelain bottle to the abbot.

The abbot, puzzled, accepted it.

"For strengthening the body, half a pill is sufficient for children under fourteen." Qi Zhiyu is very generous to her own people.

The abbot immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

Qi Zhiyu got up and strolled around, pondering where it would be most convenient to store that precious herb.

The envoy from Northern Yunnan is about to arrive, and she needs to send something to Northern Yunnan.

Otherwise, if there is no internal fighting in Northern Yunnan, it will be a little more difficult for her to take back their Da Rui territory.

She lives a simple life and dislikes trouble the most.
