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

As Qi Zhiyu spoke slowly, Prince Xin's gaze went from shock to disbelief and finally to numbness.

He no longer wanted to think about anything deeply.

He now truly understands what it means to be blissfully ignorant.

Because there are several key points involved that are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Of course, his eldest niece also said that she could take care of those places when the time came.

Prince Xin turned his stiff neck, looked at his father and then at his elder brother, and then he found that neither his father nor his elder brother showed any surprise.

They both really accepted it well, as if everything was within their expectations.

Qi Zhiyu spoke for almost an hour before stopping: "...That's all for now."

"These are the safest, most likely scenarios. Of course..." Qi Zhiyu's lips curled slightly, "If they resort to extreme measures, I won't be lenient either."

Prince Xin asked hesitantly, "My dear niece, what exactly are these extraordinary measures you're referring to?"

"For example, they might want to fight to the death and attack the people of our Great Rui," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.

"Knowing they have no chance of winning, they want to drag the people of Da Rui down with them so they can find some solace."

Prince Xin: "...My dear niece, if they're all thinking of taking someone down with them when they die, then they've truly been driven to the brink and have no other choice."

Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise, "They're my adversaries, so isn't it right for me to push them to the brink?"

Prince Rui chuckled softly, "Second son, why are you suddenly becoming soft-hearted?"

"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, I'm just wondering... what did my eldest niece do to drive them to this point in this conflict between the two countries?" Prince Xin's mouth tasted bitter.

He used to think that his father and elder brother were terrifying, that they were always thinking ten steps ahead, and that they could ruthlessly tear off the mask of respectability when necessary.

Now his eldest niece... this is no longer a matter of taking one step and thinking ten steps ahead.

His eldest niece had laid out a trap, leading the other party to fall into it without realizing it and follow her lead.

In the end, his eldest niece didn't just break off relations; she flipped the table.

"That's not important," Qi Zhiyu said casually. "I'm just taking precautions against them pulling this trick at the last minute."

Prince Xin paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "My dear niece, when you say you won't stand on ceremony, do you mean...?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered only one word: "Kill."

There was no chilling killing intent, nor any imposing aura, but it was precisely because of this ordinariness that Prince Xin's heart tightened suddenly.

He suddenly realized that killing those people was nothing more than a common occurrence for his eldest niece.

"So... Father, you should still work hard to cultivate talent and improve the lives of the people." Qi Zhiyu looked at Prince Rui. "If they really do something stupid, then we'll have more talented people to take over so many cities."

"Of course..." Qi Zhiyu's lips curled up, "If things get urgent and we don't have enough suitable people to train, I can use drugs to control them."

Prince Xin silently raised his hand, not knowing why he did so.

He always felt that he should ask for permission before speaking, otherwise... it would be impolite.

"Second Uncle, what's wrong?" Qi Zhiyu was very polite to Prince Xin.

"My dear niece, what does that drug control mean?" Prince Xin asked dryly.

"Oh, that's easy." Qi Zhiyu smiled, "Just add some poison, and give them the antidote once a month."

"Anyone harboring thoughts of betrayal will immediately succumb to the poison and die!"

King Xin: "!!!"

"My father and the others don't like this method; they think it's wrong to control people this way," Qi Zhiyu sighed.

King Xin: "..."

What on earth is she regretting?!

"So, I won't use it unless absolutely necessary," Qi Zhiyu assured with a smile.

Prince Xin stared blankly at Qi Zhiyu, who was smiling radiantly and had clear, bright eyes, and for a moment he lost all ability to speak.

All he wanted to do now was grab his older brother's shoulders, shake him vigorously, and ask, "How did my niece become like this?"

"The rest... is nothing much." Qi Zhiyu thought for a moment, "We'll handle it flexibly when the time comes."

Emperor Kangwu laughed heartily: "Good, that's settled then."

"If there are any problems that they can't solve or they're unsure about, they'll have to come and ask you for advice."

"We're all family, no need to be so polite," Qi Zhiyu said casually.

Emperor Kangwu got up and told Qi Zhiyu to rest well. He then left with Prince Rui and Prince Xin.

After they left, Qi Jingxi asked softly, "Sister, what's wrong with Grandfather?"

"I'm getting old, and I get easily agitated." Qi Zhiyu yawned and took a sip of tea.

After talking for so long, I'm really tired.

Qi Jingxi: "Huh?"

"Grandfather wants to unify the world," Qi Zhiyu sighed. "So, our father has to prove himself and, ideally, take over the world when he becomes the crown prince."

"That will make Grandfather happy."

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she noticed that Qi Jingxi was lost in thought and silent. She thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Second Brother, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"Our father is filial; he definitely wants to make our imperial grandfather happy."

Unifying the world... which emperor could resist such a temptation?

Her father must have wanted to achieve unification during his grandfather's reign.

"That's not the point," Qi Jingxi said. "I was thinking, usually when you unify the world, you conquer it, right? Why did you say 'take' it?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Second Brother, there's no need to worry about these details, is there?"

"As long as the result is the same, that's fine."

"I'm going to the study to hear what my grandfather and the others are discussing," Qi Jingxi said, then jumped up and ran out.

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow in surprise. Why did her second brother suddenly become so ambitious?

In the past, if he had something to do, he would quickly finish it and then start resting, right?

In this family, besides him, the second brother is the laziest.

Qi Zhiyu didn't quite understand; the situation outside didn't seem that serious.

Could it be that he's grown up and likes to take on more responsibility?

Qi Zhiyu shuddered inexplicably; this hobby... was truly unique.

Fortunately, she wasn't interested in that.

Qi Zhiyu continued reading the storybook, while Qi Jingxi ran to the door of the study and gently knocked on it.

After receiving permission, he went in and bowed.

Emperor Kangwu laughed and said, "Your father understands you best. He said you would come, and you really did."

Before Qi Jingxi could speak, Prince Rui smiled with satisfaction and said, "This child may seem unreliable, but he still has a sense of responsibility."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

Is this a compliment to him?

"Come on, perfect timing. Let's listen together. Feel free to share your thoughts," Emperor Kangwu said with a smile, beckoning Qi Jingxi.

"Grow up quickly so you can protect your little sister."

As soon as Emperor Kangwu finished speaking, Prince Xin looked over helplessly.

Is this requirement... a bit too high?
