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

Prince Rui sighed: "Destroying the royal family, killing ministers, pacifying forces within the army... Yu'er can do all of these."

"Our idea, as well as that of your royal grandfather, is to avoid causing unrest if possible."

"If we don't let the people suffer the pain of war, then they won't suffer."

"Yu'er has finished handling everything up ahead; our people will go and take over immediately."

"We're going to be very busy for the next eight months."

Prince Rui looked at his two sons.

Qi Jingxi: "Why...why is it eight months?"

Qi Jingchen rolled her eyes at him: "Because Yu'er wants to take over Northern Yunnan within eight months!"

"Ah! Eight months? That's so fast?" Qi Jingxi was somewhat unable to accept it.

Does it really take only eight months to annex a country?

The problem is that Northern Yunnan is not a weak country, nor is it experiencing internal strife, making it an easy target for invasion.

"It must be too slow," Qi Jingchen said, looking at his father.

Prince Rui sighed, "Yu'er originally planned for a month, but considering our speed, she said three months."

Qi Jingchen: "..."

He knew it.

"Finally, I made a concerted effort and managed to compress it to eight months," Prince Rui sighed.

Having a very capable daughter can sometimes be a sweet burden.

"So... for the next eight months, you two better keep your spirits up!" Prince Rui's gaze sharpened as he stared at the two brats.

Qi Jingchen nodded solemnly.

Qi Jingxi: "..."

He suddenly realized that he should worry about himself rather than his sister.

He anticipates that he will be extremely busy over the next eight months.

Prince Rui and his two sons were discussing matters to be done over the next eight months in the study. Princess Rui held Qi Zhiyu's hand, feeling very reluctant to part with her: "You're going to Northern Yunnan again for eight months, eight months..."

They had only been reunited for a short time, and now they had to separate again.

They've been separated for almost a year, and she misses her daughter terribly.

"Mother, eight months will pass quickly," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Actually, I wanted to come back in a month, but my grandfather and father didn't seem to be able to accept it."

She was in a difficult position too.

Princess Rui chuckled, her worries lessening somewhat: "You, you're so mischievous."

How could she not know why her father disagreed?

Within a month, Yu'er had wiped out Northern Yunnan, plunging the region into complete chaos.

If they, Da Rui, are unable to smoothly take over Northern Yunnan, people from other countries will take advantage of the situation and try to profit from the chaos. In that case, it won't just be Northern Yunnan that will be thrown into turmoil.

The war will spread rapidly, and no country will be spared.

When faced with self-interest, who can resist temptation?

What's more, it's about dividing up a country?

If we send troops to divide up northern Yunnan, our own country will be exposed as vulnerable, and other ambitious people will then attack that country... inevitably leading to chaos throughout the land.

In the end, it is always the ordinary people who are already struggling to make ends meet who suffer.

The lives of soldiers are as worthless as grass, sacrificed in vain for the benefit of those in power.

"Eight months is eight months. Your royal grandfather has done his best." Princess Rui was still understanding.

Compared to the greater good of the nation, her longing for her daughter could be temporarily suppressed.

"Mom, there are still a few days left, how can we have some fun?" Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Yu'er, don't you need to prepare anything?" Princess Rui asked worriedly.

On this long journey to northern Yunnan, one must bring along some useful items.

"No need," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

Princess Rui frowned: "One should always carry some gold and silver with him."

Qi Zhiyu blinked innocently, "Doesn't Beidian have it?"

"Huh?" Princess Rui was stunned for a moment, not understanding.

"I can take money from anyone I want," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "Mother, that's Northern Yunnan, not Da Rui."

In Da Rui, she still needs to restrain herself.

Northern Yunnan—that hostile country. As long as she doesn't cause chaos in the world, what else... does she need to restrain herself from?

Princess Rui looked at her excited daughter and fell silent.

She was initially worried about the dangers her daughter might face in northern Yunnan, but now she feels that northern Yunnan is the most dangerous place.

"Yu'er, you should always consider your reputation," Princess Rui advised.

She was afraid her daughter would go too far.

"Mother," Qi Zhiyu smiled obediently, "Don't worry, I do things in a completely upright and just manner, leaving no room for others to find fault."

"But what if..." As a mother, Princess Rui was still used to worrying about her child.

"Mother, if something really happens... well, the dead can't speak, so no one can ruin my reputation." Qi Zhiyu smiled sweetly, tugged at Princess Rui's hand, and acted coquettishly.

"Mother, don't worry."

Princess Rui chuckled and gently tapped Qi Zhiyu's forehead: "You can have fun, but don't put yourself in danger."

"You have to remember that your family is all waiting for you to come home."

"I promise!" Qi Zhiyu raised her hand and swore an oath.

Anyway, she won't get into any trouble.

As for the oath... it's just a formality to put her mother at ease.

Even if there really was some oath that would be punished by heaven... if she gave the heavens eight hundred lives, would they dare to punish her?

She and the Heavenly Dao both respect the power of the rules. She doesn't take action, and it doesn't dare to overstep its bounds. Otherwise, if it is destroyed, she can simply move on to another world.

"Mom, let's go shopping tomorrow!" Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "There's so much delicious food, we want to eat it fresh out of the pot!"

"Alright." Princess Rui naturally had no objections.

My daughter is about to go on a long trip.

She can look at the account book anytime, but right now she needs to spend time with her daughter.

The mother and daughter agreed on a time to go out the next day, and then Princess Rui left to go back to rest.

As for the father and his two sons, they talked in the study until late at night.

Similarly, those still busy were King Wu Guangping and others.

The next day, Qi Zhiyu got up early, tidied herself up, and went to the yard.

"Mother, you're here so early." When Qi Zhiyu arrived, Princess Rui was already there. Upon seeing her, she hurried over.

"I just arrived too." Princess Rui smiled and took Qi Zhiyu's hand, gently tucking a strand of hair that was hanging down by her temple.

"Let's go, let's set off!" Qi Zhiyu happily pulled her mother into the carriage.

"Let's go eat tofu pudding and fried dough sticks at the end of the alley."

Qi Zhiyu had already begun listing the things she would eat for breakfast inside the carriage.

Fried dough sticks taste best when they're fresh out of the pan.

"Okay." Princess Rui naturally had no objections; she would eat whatever the child liked.

Upon arrival, Qi Zhiyu jumped off the carriage, turned around, and reached out to her mother to help her down.

The maid had already wiped the chairs clean and made room for Princess Rui and Qi Zhiyu to sit.

Qi Zhiyu quickly ordered what they wanted to eat and then waited.

The shop assistants nervously went to speak to the kitchen staff.

As for the other people in the shop, they couldn't help but keep secretly glancing at Qi Zhiyu.

Isn't that Princess Chen'an?

How dare she, this monster, show her face?
