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

The jade Buddha was sent to the palace, and Emperor Kangwu was indeed very pleased with it.

It has to be his granddaughter.

What a filial child!

See, I know he's getting old and likes these things.

Sure enough, as soon as I got something good, I sent it to him.

"Tell me, when will you ever be this filial?" Emperor Kangwu glared at Prince Rui with annoyance.

Prince Rui: "..."

"Dad, when you talk about my daughter, you also belittle her father. How am I supposed to feel about that?"

"What do you think? Chen'an only thinks her father is useless!" Emperor Kangwu said coldly. "She relies on Chen'an for everything; what are you good for?"

Prince Rui: "...Father, you're making it sound like you don't rely on my daughter?"

After saying this, Prince Rui immediately stepped aside.

With a thud, the flying memorial missed its target and fell to the ground.

Prince Rui picked it up and put it back to his father.

His father's anger should have subsided by now.

After all, anticipating one's son's treason is different from confirming it.

The fourth son is, after all, his father's son. It's perfectly normal for his father to get angry and sad.

"Is everything prepared?" Emperor Kangwu glanced at Prince Rui and asked.

Prince Rui sat down and nodded: "Everything is ready."

"My daughter has already pointed out the general direction."

"Once Prince Ning and his group leave, we'll wait to gather evidence of their connection."

Emperor Kangwu nodded and told Prince Rui about the military strength and supplies of Da Rui.

If they really go to war with Northern Yunnan, they need to at least ensure that they have enough personnel and supplies.

Don't let Chen An rush ahead while they can't keep up.

Wouldn't that have wasted all of Chen An's efforts?

While Emperor Kangwu and his men were preparing for these events, the people of Marquis Wu of Guangping also began to exert their influence.

The next day, almost everyone in the capital knew about what had happened on the back mountain of Huguo Temple.

In the early morning, everyone was still marveling at the strange phenomenon. By noon, all sorts of questions arose, and by dusk, rumors had begun to circulate that Princess Chen'an of the Rui Prince's Mansion was a demon.

Qi Zhiyu had naturally heard everything. She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her brows furrowed.

"Sis, what's wrong?" Qi Jingxi noticed that her younger sister's mood was off.

Being called a monster is unpleasant and makes you feel resentful, but that applies to most people.

Not to mention that his sister already knew all this, given her character, she wouldn't let such rumors affect her mood.

So, what exactly happened?

"Something's not right." Qi Jingxi was jolted awake as soon as Qi Zhiyu spoke.

"Sis, something's not right?" Qi Jingxi swallowed nervously.

Is there something wrong with their plan?

"Too fast." Qi Zhiyu frowned, trying hard to think.

At the same time, she looked up at the sky outside the window.

The fortune and various entanglements of cause and effect have not changed.

Although she could only get a general idea, the overall direction was probably correct.

Something's not right right now.

"What's too fast?" Qi Jingxi asked, puzzled.

"Rumors spread too fast," Qi Zhiyu pondered. "Normally, Prince Ning and his group wanted to leave with the rare and precious treasures as soon as possible."

Rumors will arise, but they will spread slowly.

"Only in this way, once they leave, will any problems with the rare and precious materials of Huguo Temple not be linked to them."

"How I feel right now..."

Qi Jingxi immediately accepted the question: "Are you in a rush?"

"Yes." Qi Zhiyu's calculations from all aspects led to this plan.

Where exactly did I not think of that?

What went wrong?

That shouldn't be happening!

Even in this world, she never underestimates anyone.

She always thinks things through quite comprehensively, considering all sorts of possibilities.

"This shouldn't be happening." Qi Zhiyu frowned.

What went wrong?

Suddenly, Qi Zhiyu felt a weight on her head. She looked up in surprise at her second brother.

Qi Jingxi patted her head and said with a smile, "It's okay, we're all here."

"Your second brother isn't someone to be trifled with either."

At that moment, Qi Zhiyu's eyes opened slightly.

How come my second brother, who's usually so witty and playful, is... so handsome?

Qi Zhiyu smiled and her brows relaxed. She responded with a soft "Mm".

"I'll have someone inquire about it. I'll let you know when I have news, don't worry," Qi Jingxi said with a smile, ruffling Qi Zhiyu's hair.

"Stay home and wait for me."

After saying that, Qi Jingxi turned and left.

The wind lifted the hem of his coat, drawing a perfect arc in the air, a sight to behold.

Qi Zhiyu felt a warm glow in her heart, and her eyes filled with a smile.

Second brother...

When Prince Rui returned from his busy day, he went to find Qi Zhiyu: "Daughter, the second son has gone to investigate the news, and your eldest brother is also being investigated in the court."

"Don't worry, even if there are some minor issues, our overall plan will be fine."

Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly: "Yes, I know."

"At worst, I'll just go and wipe out Northern Yunnan!"

"Cough cough cough..." Prince Rui choked on his own saliva.

That brat Qi Jingxi even told him that Yu'er was feeling unwell.

Are the two eyes below Qi Jingxi's eyebrows hole-like?

I wouldn't even look at it!

Yu'er doesn't look like she's in pain at all.

He talks about destroying Northern Yunnan as if it were nothing, but isn't this still his decisive daughter?

"I'm just wondering, what did I not expect that they would let the rumors spread so quickly?" This is what Qi Zhiyu can't understand.

"Are you struggling with something you didn't expect?" Prince Rui understood what his daughter was concerned about.

"Yes." Qi Zhiyu nodded. "I need to figure this out, otherwise I'll make the same mistakes when faced with the same situation."

"I absolutely will not allow such a basic mistake to happen."

Through these experiences, she will grow and learn something.

Even if she fails, she wants to understand exactly how she failed.

"What exactly is their plan?" Qi Zhiyu couldn't figure it out.

It's unusual that she didn't anticipate the other party's plan!

"However, Father, these are minor issues." Qi Zhiyu smiled, remaining confident and composed. "They won't affect the final outcome."

It was simply the destruction of a nation.

Although there were some minor flaws in the process, the result was the same.

However, she wanted to figure out how that little flaw came about first.

Learn from this experience and avoid making the same mistake next time.

Prince Rui tentatively asked, "Daughter, you're quite eager to improve?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and said matter-of-factly, "To live is to naturally pursue progress."

"Otherwise, it's easy to fall behind."

Prince Rui: "...Actually, daughter, if you don't improve, no one will be able to surpass you."

Qi Zhiyu smiled but remained silent.

Prince Rui sighed. He just needed to figure out why his daughter was upset.

There's no need for him to offer any explanation.

He left Qi Zhiyu's courtyard partly because he was busy with other things, and partly because he really felt sorry for his daughter.

What did Yu'er go through to push herself to such extreme and demanding standards?
