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

The guards lay on the ground, twitching occasionally, indicating that they were still alive.

The King of Northern Dian glanced at the imperial physician, who immediately went to examine the person and then bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the person is fine; it's all superficial wounds. They just need to rest for a while."

The King of Northern Dian's gaze fell upon Qi Zhiyu.

This person...

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Prince Ning was instantly overcome with rage.

"Take down Qi Zhiyu!" His roar, fueled by rage, was sharp as a knife, each word aimed directly at Qi Zhiyu.

The guards beside him obeyed and rushed over.

Even though a companion had just been struck by lightning and was lying on the ground, how could they not rush forward when the prince gave the order?

Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, we have to go!

The king of the Northern Dian Kingdom did not stop him; he also wanted to see.

The guards rushed over.

Even though everyone was mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but tremble when the lightning struck.

Several bolts of lightning struck the guards precisely.

That wasn't the end of it. Lightning struck again, hitting Prince Ning directly.

With a loud bang, the crown on Prince Ning's head exploded off.

His face turned completely black instantly, and his hair stood on end, filling the air with a burnt smell.

Where he stood, the stone slabs were cracked and spiderweb-like fissures spread out in all directions.

Prince Ning groaned, his knees hitting the ground heavily, and the wounds that had just been bandaged began to ooze crimson again.

Thunder rumbled overhead, and dark clouds pressed down.

They were so close, it felt like you could reach out and touch them.

The brilliant lightning, like a swimming dragon, flashed intermittently in the dark clouds.

Everyone stared at the sky, their faces ashen, and the more timid ones had already collapsed to their knees.

Some of the young ladies and gentlemen couldn't help but cry, completely unable to control themselves.

The imperial physician rushed over to stop the bleeding for Prince Ning, while others went to check on the second group of guards who had rushed over.

"Your Majesty, they...they are all dead."

This answer made the King of Northern Dian's face turn quite ugly.

He stared intently at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen An, what's going on?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled as she looked at the King of Northern Dian: "You really want me to say it?"

"I need an answer!" the King of Northern Dian gritted his teeth.

His guards in northern Yunnan must not have died in vain!

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly, sighing, "I told you, if things don't work out, you Northern Yunnan should just get a new emperor, someone with a better brain."

The people of Beidian glared angrily at Qi Zhiyu, but none of them dared to speak.

After all, it's quite novel that someone who was struck by lightning is still lying on the ground.

They don't want to be the next one.

The king of Northern Dian gritted his teeth: "You mean I'm senile?"

"Your Majesty, how can you be senile? You're younger than my grandfather. You're just a bit senile at most," Qi Zhiyu kindly explained.

The king of Northern Dian swayed, but fortunately his attendants caught him, preventing him from making a fool of himself in public.

"Qi Zhiyu, what's with this lightning?" the Crown Prince demanded angrily. "Was it your doing?"

Qi Zhiyu glanced at the rolling dark clouds and thunder overhead, and smiled dismissively: "Me, playing tricks?"

The crown prince, his face cold, questioned, "What, you don't want to admit it?"

Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement, "Crown Prince, who do you look down on?"

The crown prince was taken aback, unable to understand the meaning of Qi Zhiyu's words for a moment.

"If I were to take action, would I only kill a few guards?" Qi Zhiyu snapped her fingers and said regretfully, "I wouldn't do something so childish."

"boring."

As soon as she said that, the faces of the people from Beidian were indescribably ugly.

How could Qi Zhiyu be so arrogant?

The key point is that she spoke so casually, yet most people didn't think she was bragging; instead, they subconsciously felt that she could really do what she said she would do.

"Alright, stop worrying about such trivial matters." Qi Zhiyu waved her hand impatiently. "Wearing this phoenix crown is quite heavy."

"Should the wedding continue? If not, I'm going back. If it does, you'd better hurry up."

The King of Northern Dian looked at the Prince of Ning, whose face was blackened by the blow.

The injury on Prince Ning's wrist had been treated again, but his clothes were tattered. He had lost all semblance of a prince's majesty and even the joy of a groom; instead, he looked like a beggar on the street.

The king of the Northern Dian Kingdom really didn't want his youngest son to marry Qi Zhiyu.

So many problems have already arisen before they've even married her; who knows what will happen if they actually do marry her...

What if he accidentally kills his youngest son?

"Continue!" Prince Ning stood up with the help of his attendants, holding back his anger.

Qi Zhiyu is so "extraordinary" that he is even more determined to marry her.

He wanted her to submit to him, to bear his children, and to transform her from a high and mighty goddess into a virtuous woman kneeling at his feet and obeying him!

Qi Zhiyu suddenly chuckled softly.

To be honest, she really admired Prince Ning's courage.

Are people who are favored from a young age so fearless?

Or perhaps, the emperor's favoritism had blinded Prince Ning, making him unable to see reality clearly.

Indeed, some prodigies who experience too much success or adversity will only perish more quickly.

The crown prince frowned in disapproval.

"Alright, continue." As soon as the King of Northern Dian uttered these words, the Crown Prince looked over in astonishment.

In this situation, why didn't the Emperor try to dissuade him?

Since His Majesty has agreed, no one else dares to object.

Some people carried away all the guards who were lying on the ground, whether they were dead or injured.

The worship of heaven and earth continued.

However, this time Qi Zhiyu and her two maids stood still, and no one objected.

As the king of the Northern Dian Kingdom offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, the dark clouds overhead gradually dispersed, and bright sunshine shone down.

It was warm and cozy, as if nothing had happened.

However, the broken stone bricks on the altar and the bloodstains that had not been completely cleaned off reminded everyone that what had just happened was not a dream, but a real event.

The King of Northern Dian looked at Qi Zhiyu, but he didn't know how to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Prince Ning then spoke up: "It's time to pay respects to our ancestors."

As he spoke, he looked at Qi Zhiyu with a smug expression, as if bestowing a favor upon her: "Not every princess can be allowed to go and pay homage to the ancestors of my Northern Yunnan."

"This is an honor that should only be given to the Empress or the Crown Princess."

"You are Princess Da Rui, which is why Father Emperor has shown you such special favor."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and asked, "So, I should be thanking you with tears of gratitude?"

Prince Ning nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course!"

"Paying respects to your ancestors... Let me see, is it in that direction?" Qi Zhiyu turned her head and looked over.

"That's right, the imperial tomb is..." Prince Ning only got halfway through his sentence before he was suddenly startled by the scene before him and fell silent.

A thunderclap, like a giant sword piercing the sky, crashed down from above.
