"General Ji," Qi Zhiyu looked at Ji Qiuyu, "do you think this is inappropriate?"

"Yes, I think..." Ji Qiuyu was interrupted by Qi Zhiyu after only four words.

"What do you think?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile in her eyes, but the casualness of that smile sent chills down one's spine.

"What makes you think you are, a mere subject?"

"All the civil and military officials have no objections, my imperial grandfather has no objections, but you have quite a few objections."

"You, a general fighting on the border, are now meddling in matters between two countries."

"What? You're that capable?"

"Why haven't I seen you show this before? Now you think you've slept with someone?"

"Princess!" Ji Qiuyu said in a deep voice, "Your subject is fighting bravely against the enemy at the border..."

"What? Isn't this your duty?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

"Ask everyone here, who isn't working hard?"

"Come here, gentlemen of the Ministry of Personnel, do you usually slack off and waste your days doing nothing?"

The ministers quickly shook their heads.

"Come, come, gentlemen who have been on the battlefield, were you all hiding in the rear, cowardly and afraid of death?" Qi Zhiyu asked again.

Those military officers who had been on the battlefield glared angrily at Ji Qiuyu.

Who among them didn't fight bravely on the battlefield?

If they hadn't earned their military merits, would they be where they are now?

How could Ji Qiuyu speak like that?

"Princess, I am young and ignorant..." the Duke of Zhenguo hurriedly explained.

Otherwise, the Ji family would have offended the entire court.

"Young and ignorant?" Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "She's older than me, isn't she?"

"If she were that ignorant, how could she have gone to the battlefield?"

"Should I say that the enemy country's people are too incompetent, or that Ji Qiuyu's military achievements are exaggerated?"

"After all, the situation on the battlefield can change in an instant. If you are not careful, you will not only die, but also lose the lives of many soldiers."

"The Duke of Zhenguo dared to bring his young and naive daughter to the battlefield; I can only admire his exceptional skill and daring!"

The Duke of Zhenguo said nothing and immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk; he genuinely had nothing to say.

Qi Zhiyu looked at Ji Qiuyu, who had also knelt down, and asked, "General Ji, do you have any other questions for me?"

Ji Qiuyu quickly replied, "Your subject dares not."

"Don't be shy." Qi Zhiyu was quite approachable. "Ask me anything you want to know, and I'll answer everything I know."

Everyone: "..."

So cruel!

Ji Qiuyu gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger: "Princess, I have nothing to ask."

"That's good." Qi Zhiyu smiled with satisfaction. "After all, my grandfather was a wise ruler who treated his subjects well."

"If I have any questions, my imperial grandfather will do his best to answer them."

"Since there's nothing else..." Before Qi Zhiyu could finish speaking, Emperor Kangwu waved his hand and dismissed the court.

"Chen'an, come with me." Emperor Kangwu called to Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu pouted. "Can't I go home and lie down?"

She pursed her lips, but had no choice but to follow.

Then, she poked her father's arm with her index finger, looking unhappy.

She poked, she poked, she poked hard!

Why did you call her here?

Such a trivial matter!

Her complaining gesture made Prince Rui's lips curl into a smile. His daughter had learned to be affectionate!

Upon arriving at the study, Emperor Kangwu said with a smile, "Chen'an, it all depends on you. Otherwise, I would have been in a real predicament."

Qi Zhiyu rolled her eyes at Emperor Kangwu: "Grandfather, you've learned to slack off now."

Emperor Kangwu chuckled and said, "People get old, and their energy wanes."

"The main reason is that I have a good granddaughter who can help me."

Qi Zhiyu: "...Flattery won't work on me."

Emperor Kangwu chuckled. Whether it was useful or not, his granddaughter had arrived.

Chen An knew what was going on before she came, but she still came. She truly regarded him as her grandfather and as family.

"The Duke of Zhenguo is quite clever," Qi Zhiyu snorted, "knowing when to stop."

"However, they weren't exactly smart either."

If he were truly intelligent, he should have severed all ties with the King of Wu cleanly and completely, instead of testing the waters here.

"They want to get involved with Northern Yunnan," Emperor Kangwu said in a deep voice.

These guys, for the sake of this position, completely disregard Da Rui's interests and safety?

"They dare not betray the country yet," said Prince Rui. "They have not reached the end of their rope."

"Chen'an, what do you think?" Emperor Kangwu asked Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "It's good that the water is murky. Then we won't need to fish; we can just use a net to catch it."

"A very rewarding experience."

Emperor Kangwu choked on his words; that was typical of his granddaughter's style.

"Do you also want to take back the military power of the Duke of Zhenguo?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "Grandfather, a person with ulterior motives still holds military power... How uneasy is that?"

"I would never leave a knife to a disloyal person."

"Since they want to start from the Northern Yunnan region, let's have the Northern Yunnan envoys have more contact with them after they arrive," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.

"Perfect, it will also make it easier for the envoys from Northern Yunnan to dig up our precious natural treasures."

"After all, without the help of the people of Da Rui, it's difficult for the people of Bei Dian to act."

"It's easy for us to leak information ourselves, but if they go through great lengths and face extreme danger to obtain it... that's what makes it real."

Emperor Kangwu laughed heartily after hearing this: "You naughty child..."

Qi Zhiyu smiled casually: "Life is too boring, so I'll just watch a monkey show."

Emperor Kangwu really didn't know what to say.

Everything was going according to her plan, and those people thought they were so clever.

The harder they try, the faster they fall into the pit.

Finally, when they arrived at what they thought was their destination, they discovered that it was a trap that Chen An had set for them long ago.

"You might be bothered a lot lately," Emperor Kangwu warned.

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "It doesn't matter. She's just a woman who's blinded by love."

"If Chi Chiu-yu wants to act, I'll just play along."

"It's quite interesting to act in my own movies."

"It doesn't matter where you find fun, as long as there are people to play with, that's great."

Emperor Kangwu sighed, "This girl..."

"You should go back now." He really couldn't let this girl stay here any longer.

Over time, he was really devastated.

This girl is terrifyingly strong!

"Okay." Qi Zhiyu quickly got up and left.

As soon as Qi Zhiyu left, Emperor Kangwu glared at Prince Rui: "Alright, shut up! You're grinning like a fool!"

This guy has been laughing ever since he entered the Imperial Study.

"I know your daughter is amazing, look how proud you are." Emperor Kangwu was extremely disgusted.

Prince Rui finally laughed out loud: "Father, Yu'er was just being affectionate with me!"

"Hehe... My daughter has finally learned to be affectionate!" Rui Wang said, his nose suddenly stung with tears, and his vision blurred.
