Along the way, because of this incident, Prince Ning was injured, but he didn't cause any unnecessary trouble.

The two groups met at the border of Da Rui. Prince Ning looked at Qi Zhiyu riding on horseback and the two maids behind her, and asked in surprise, "The princess is only taking two people with her?"

Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement, "Is there a minimum number of people required for a trip to Northern Yunnan?"

"Of course not. But... wouldn't two people be enough to serve the princess?" Prince Ning asked with a forced smile.

Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise, "What? Have all the people of Northern Yunnan died?"

"Princess!" Prince Ning shouted.

Does she even know how to speak properly?

"Are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?" Qi Zhiyu blinked, looking completely innocent.

Prince Ning took a deep breath: "There are naturally people in Beidian, but I'm worried that the princess might not be comfortable using other people."

"Oh, it's nothing." Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly. "There's nothing I don't like to use."

The two maids behind her had a strange feeling that they understood what the princess hadn't said.

Even things that weren't easy to handle, the princess would make easy to handle.

"Since the princess has no objection, I naturally have no problem with it." Prince Ning was secretly pleased.

Qi Zhiyu was truly spoiled by Emperor Kangwu.

Did you think things would be the same in Northern Yunnan as they were in Da Rui?

"Let's go." After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, the horse she was riding seemed to understand and moved forward.

After leaving Da Rui and returning to Bei Dian, Prince Ning was noticeably more relaxed.

They returned to the capital of the Northern Dian Kingdom in the shortest possible time.

Prince Ning first returned to his residence to wash up, and then went to the palace to meet the emperor.

Qi Zhiyu, on the other hand, was provided with accommodations and would enter the palace after resting.

To Qi Zhiyu's surprise, Prince Ning was so petty.

She had barely settled in when he arranged for people to make things difficult for her.

This courtyard is indeed the largest and most luxurious besides the one where Prince Ning lives, and the servants arranged are also the kind of servants a princess should have, but... the servants are not honest.

"Say it again." Qi Zhiyu looked at the old woman in front of her with a smile. Her hair was neatly combed and her clothes were dressed in a very proper manner.

At a glance, you can tell that she is a very strict and disciplined nanny.

"What water temperature should the princess use for her bath? What medicinal herbs should be added to the water? If not medicinal herbs, what spices or fresh flowers should be used?" the nanny immediately asked in a serious tone.

"How many people are needed to take care of me? How should I massage you? What is the bathing order?"

"What kind of aromatherapy should we use? And what kind of beverage should we pair it with? Tea, fruit wine, or something else?"

"as well as……"

Qi Zhiyu raised her hand, stopping the nanny from speaking: "So you need me to explain everything to you clearly?"

The old woman replied solemnly, "Yes."

"Because we servants are not familiar with the princess's habits, if we make a mistake, we may not serve her well and displease her."

Qi Zhiyu nodded slowly: "Did you know that your prince is asking me for marriage?"

"Of course I know," the old woman replied respectfully.

"The prince is deeply in love with the princess. Even though the princess is a monster, our prince doesn't care and insists on marrying her."

The two maids behind Qi Zhiyu's faces changed drastically, and anger instantly surged to their heads.

"How dare you!" they shouted sternly.

The old woman stiffened her neck and said, "What I said is simply the truth."

"You..." The maid was about to say something when Qi Zhiyu raised her hand to stop her.

The maid could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

However, she felt resentful.

When did it become anyone's place to slander their princess?

But they're in northern Yunnan, a foreign land, so it's understandable that they have to endure it...

Sometimes, you can't confront things head-on.

"You mean you all know about me?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile.

The old woman said haughtily, "Of course."

A monster that even his own country dares not keep, yet he wants to act arrogantly and domineeringly in their northern Yunnan?

She will teach Princess Chen'an proper manners.

Don't let this princess think that she can act recklessly in Da Rui and still do as she pleases in their Bei Dian.

You should know that in northern Yunnan, no one would tolerate her or let her bully others!

She's definitely going to give us a taste of our power today!

Qi Zhiyu laughed, leaned back in her chair, and casually ordered, "Kill them."

The old woman didn't understand what Qi Zhiyu meant; she only felt something flash past her eyes quickly.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that one of Qi Zhiyu's maids had just made the movement.

They... um?

The old woman had no more thoughts, because her head tilted to the side and she slumped to the ground, no longer breathing.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone completely unable to react.

Qi Zhiyu stood up and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

It wasn't until Qi Zhiyu left that the other maids and servants in the room finally realized what had happened.

Qi Zhiyu's maid committed murder!

Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively snapped Xu Mama's neck!

"Murder!"

"Help!"

Qi Zhiyu had already reached the courtyard when she heard the agonizing screams coming from inside the house.

She tilted her head, completely bewildered.

With such a slow reaction, if she wanted them dead, they would have been dead dozens of times over.

The guards from the Prince of Ning's residence rushed over immediately upon hearing the commotion.

They saw Qi Zhiyu walking out in the courtyard, and some of them immediately blocked her way: "Princess, please wait."

Others rushed into the house to find out what was going on.

Soon, the person who went inside to check the situation came out, ran to the head guard, and whispered a few words to him.

The head guard stared at Qi Zhiyu with a grim expression: "Princess, was Xu Mama killed by one of your maids?"

Qi Zhiyu nodded and readily admitted, "Yes."

The head guard said in a deep voice, "Princess, Granny Xu has always served the Prince and is a very important person to him."

"The princess killed her without asking any questions; there must be an explanation."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Me, a princess, killing a subservient servant girl, do I need to give an explanation?"

"The customs of Northern Yunnan are truly interesting."

"Royal relatives live such humble lives."

The head guard, his face grim, said, "Princess, His Majesty of Northern Yunnan has always loved his people and is not one to kill indiscriminately."

Even imperial relatives wouldn't abuse their power to bully others.

"Princess, this is Northern Dian, not Your Highness's Great Rui."

"Please, Princess, curb your arrogance and bad habits in Da Rui and abide by the rules of Bei Dian."

"Otherwise, swords have no eyes, and it would be bad if the princess were really hurt."

Qi Zhiyu suddenly laughed, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and laughed exceptionally happily.

The people from the Prince Ning's residence looked at each other, wondering what she was laughing at.

Qi Zhiyu finally stopped laughing and looked at the leading guard: "You know this is Northern Dian, not my Great Rui."

"Yes, Princess, please follow the rules!" the head guard threatened sternly.

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "If it weren't for me, Da Rui, do you think I would have any reservations?"
