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

Of course, he also knew that even if they said they would spare the life of the King of Wu, the King of Wu would not believe them.

"I've never seen anything like this before." Qi Jingxi was so angry that she laughed.

He scared himself and then ran headlong down a dead end... He was convinced.

"Second Brother, how can you be so kind? You even consider the opponent's thoughts and feelings." Qi Zhiyu said with a smile, "They chose to do what they did."

"All we need to do is get the benefits."

"Don't think that blood ties are something so precious."

"Some people cherish it, while others only use it to take advantage of others."

Qi Jingxi sighed, "I just can't figure it out."

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "There are many things in this world that you don't need to figure out."

"Just do it, why bother trying to understand it?"

"Why bother studying other people's thoughts? What they do or think has nothing to do with you?"

"All we need to do is ensure that we and the people we care about are not harmed."

Qi Jingxi nodded thoughtfully: "Sis, you're so wise."

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "Second brother, you're young, it's normal for you to be so naive."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

"Keep an eye on Prince Ning; he's too quiet," Qi Zhiyu said.

After being brought to the capital, Prince Ning made no move and simply stayed there quietly.

As a hostage, although Da Rui gave him the dignity of a prince, he didn't cause any trouble at all... which is unusual for his personality.

Qi Jingxi's eyes widened: "Sis, do you know something?"

Qi Zhiyu shook her head: "I don't know, but it's better to be prepared."

"After all, it concerns our reclaiming of Northern Yunnan. The more cautious we are, the less risk we can reduce. Keeping an eye on things in advance will prevent any unexpected complications."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Qi Jingxi agreed and ran off.

Qi Zhiyu blinked. Her second brother was a man of action; he acted so quickly!

A lot can happen in just a few days.

For example, the envoy from northern Yunnan arrived.

Emperor Kangwu was quite generous, allowing the envoy from Northern Yunnan to go directly to the residence of Prince Ning.

If Prince Ning were to escape from the capital of Da Rui, all the soldiers of Da Rui could commit suicide to atone for their sins.

"Your Highness has suffered greatly." The envoy's face was full of sorrow when he saw Prince Ning.

Prince Ning waved his hand: "What did Father Emperor say?"

"His Majesty has ordered that the Prince's safety be ensured at all costs," the envoy said.

This is His Majesty's youngest son, whom he has spoiled rotten since childhood.

This time, His Majesty was furious when Prince Ning was captured.

Every single official, both civil and military, was scolded.

Even the crown prince was not spared.

The other princes were even more severely berated.

His Majesty's general idea is that if others were more capable, why would Prince Ning have to suffer at the border?

Prince Ning will not be captured if he does not go to the border.

His Majesty was furious. Although the conditions proposed by Da Rui were harsh, no one in the court dared to speak up to stop them.

The crown prince was even less allowed to speak.

If anyone raises an objection, His Majesty will surely brand them with the infamous reputation of harming their own brothers.

He came here with a death order.

We must ensure that Prince Ning returns unharmed.

The envoy looked at the somewhat thinner Prince Ning and asked, "Your Highness, has Da Rui treated you poorly?"

"No," Prince Ning replied truthfully.

The envoy looked at Prince Ning and felt that something was amiss.

"Tell me, how does our Northern Dian compare to the Great Rui?" Prince Ning asked.

The envoy spoke frankly: "Although our northern Yunnan territory is not as vast as that of the great Rui, our northern Yunnan soldiers are brave and skilled in battle, and are no less than those of the great Rui!"

Their soldiers in Northern Yunnan are brave and fierce, and that is the source of their confidence.

Prince Ning was clearly very satisfied with this answer: "In that case, I would be more than qualified to marry the princess of Da Rui."

"I am the Prince of Northern Yunnan. I would even marry Princess Da Rui, let alone a county princess?"

Of course, since none of the princesses in Da Rui's family are of marriageable age, he will not force himself to marry one.

The envoy was stunned, not understanding for a moment.

Or perhaps he understood, but simply refused to believe it.

He simply couldn't imagine how Prince Ning could say such a thing with such confidence.

"Your Highness, this matter requires careful consideration," the envoy advised dryly. "Proposing marriage this time is probably not appropriate."

Their prince was a captured prisoner. Where did Prince Ning get the audacity to want to marry Princess Da Rui?

Prince Ning reluctantly agreed: "It was indeed a bit abrupt."

"Your Highness, which princess have you taken a fancy to?" the envoy asked tentatively.

"Naturally, it's Princess Chen'an." Prince Ning's words completely shattered the envoy's last hope.

This was the answer he least wanted to hear.

The soldiers who went to war with Prince Ning were ransomed.

Therefore, he naturally knew how Prince Ning had been captured.

In a single exchange, their prince was knocked off his horse, without even a chance to retaliate or dodge.

With such a vast difference in strength, how could their prince have the nerve to say he wanted to marry Princess Chen'an?

"That Princess Chen'an... is rather restless. Should Your Highness consider someone else?" the envoy advised persistently. "The daughters of the other princes of Da Rui are also quite beautiful, and well-behaved and sensible."

Prince Ning frowned: "What do you know?"

"Are any other princesses as favored as Princess Chen'an?"

"You've seen the current situation in Da Rui," Prince Ning sneered. "Emperor Kangwu favors Prince Rui, and Prince Rui is the undisputed heir."

"I'm marrying a princess now, and she'll be a princess in the future."

"Given how much Prince Rui dotes on his daughter... how much benefit will he receive in the future?"

The envoy earnestly advised, "Your Highness, as you yourself said, Emperor Kangwu and Prince Rui dote on Princess Chen'an very much, and they will not be willing to let Princess Chen'an marry far away."

"If they're unwilling, we'll find a way to make them willing." Prince Ning had no intention of giving up.

"Qi Zhiyu not only has the love of Prince Rui and others, but more importantly, if she were to pass on her martial arts skills to our soldiers, it would definitely raise their martial arts level significantly."

The envoy really wanted to crack open Prince Ning's head to see what was inside.

"Your Highness, how could Princess Chen'an's martial arts skills have been passed down to our soldiers?"

Prince Ning's face darkened: "A woman obeys her husband after marriage. She married me and is now my person. How dare she disobey me?"

"Your Highness, with the princess's martial arts skills, who can persuade her?" The envoy thought their prince had gone mad.

Prince Ning sneered, "If I cripple her martial arts and turn her into a weak woman who can't even kill a chicken, wouldn't she be completely at my mercy?"

"She has no choice but to depend on me for survival, so how dare she disobey me?"

The envoy's voice was hoarse as he reminded them, "I've heard that Princess Chen'an is a highly skilled physician."

Should we get a miracle doctor to prescribe medicine?

Their prince must be quite ill.

What exactly did Da Rui do to their prince?

In such a short time... he's gone mad?
