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

"Princess, you can't be too kind!" Luo Yu was really anxious.

"With Prince Ning's personality, if he were to become an immortal and gain great power, he would definitely bully the princess!"

Qi Zhiyu couldn't hold back any longer and laughed so hard her shoulders shook.

Falling feathers are so much fun.

Did the Emperor's grandfather know that Luo Yu was like this, so he sent her to cheer her up?

Luo Yu was baffled by the laughter. She glanced at the princess, then at Ning Shuang, whose expression was indescribable, and immediately asked Ning Shuang, "What did I say wrong?"

Judging from Ning Shuang's expression, she must have found out something.

Ning Shuang sighed helplessly: "No one said that cultivating immortality is guaranteed to succeed."

"The possibility of them going insane or dying is greater."

Luo Yu was dumbfounded. Could it really be like this?

"As for what the outcome will be, it depends on the princess's wishes." Ning Shuang looked at the princess.

The princess's methods... are truly ruthless.

Even a contract witnessed by heaven and earth, the princess managed to exploit a loophole.

"Ah!" Luo Yu was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Is...is this okay?" she asked the princess in astonishment.

She wanted to hear what the princess had to say.

"Why not?" Qi Zhiyu asked innocently. "I'm doing this for his own good. If he can't do it himself, what does it have to do with me?"

"My intentions for his own good were genuine. Utterly sincere, as heaven and earth can attest!"

Luo Yu: "..."

This world is truly unlucky, witnessing the existence of such a thing.

Luo Yu's reaction made Qi Zhiyu laugh: "Luo Yu, you're still young."

Aren't there plenty of people who do disgusting things under the guise of "doing what's best for you"?

After causing serious consequences and ruining someone else's life, how many people turn themselves into innocent victims with a simple "I'm doing this for your own good"?

In the end, the real victim bears all the pain, which makes him feel like he has let down the person who did it for his own good; it is the victim who is weak-willed.

"Princess, are you two husband and wife?" Luo Yu asked curiously.

"In my area, there's no such thing as a husband and wife," Qi Zhiyu said.

"Entering a bond can also include the option of marriage."

"Moreover, marriage by contract is more binding than ordinary marriage in the general populace."

"Yes, forming a bond is more serious and solemn than getting married."

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she sighed, "I'm so good to Jiang Tinghao."

Luo Yu: "..."

She turned her head abruptly and saw that Ning Shuang also looked unsure of what expression to make, which put her at ease.

She's not the only one experiencing this.

"Princess, does Prince Ning want to be the crown prince?" Luo Yu asked, extremely curious.

Although the King of Northern Dian doted on Prince Ning, the Crown Prince of Northern Dian had already been chosen, and the Crown Prince's faction was already fixed.

"Yes, I would," Qi Zhiyu laughed. "Otherwise, wouldn't I have let them steal our Great Rui's rare and precious treasures for nothing?"

She could see clearly that the King of Northern Dian was wearing it.

It affects the mind and amplifies emotions.

According to the information she received from her father about the King of Beidian, the King of Beidian would not have agreed to Jiang Tinghao's gamble if he hadn't been influenced.

Moreover, even if Prince Ning is arrogant, he wouldn't be so impulsive as to let his anger influence him to insist on forming a contract with her.

The things she made actually turned out quite well.

"Ah!" Luo Yu reacted, "Princess, you...you had this planned all along."

"Hmm... an unexpected surprise?" Qi Zhiyu pressed her forehead, feeling slightly frustrated.

"I just didn't expect Jiang Tinghao to want to marry me."

She really overlooked this point.

"However, it doesn't affect the overall plan; in fact, it makes it even more effective."

Qi Zhiyu thought for a moment and said, "...Thank you for Jiang Tinghao's audacity?"

Luo Yu: "..."

Ning Shuang: "..."

Suddenly I don't know what to say.

I just feel... these people in northern Yunnan, well, they're really pitiful.

Never mind, the tragedy is in northern Yunnan anyway.

Their princess has already worked so hard, minimizing losses as much as possible in order to conquer Northern Yunnan, and she hasn't slaughtered any of the people of Northern Yunnan. The people of Northern Yunnan should be grateful.

Otherwise, if their princess had simply charged in, the result would have been the same; the greater losses would have been suffered by Northern Yunnan.

Jiang Tinghao has not returned to his residence these past two days, but has been recuperating in the palace.

The king of the Northern Dian Kingdom was worried about his youngest son and wanted to keep a close eye on him personally.

At the same time, he also felt that Qi Zhiyu was too strange and did not want his youngest son to have too much contact with Qi Zhiyu.

This won't affect Qi Zhiyu much; she's eating and sleeping well at the Prince Ning's residence.

The people in Prince Ning's mansion have all learned their lesson; there isn't a single troublemaker among them.

A few days later, the crown prince showed the king of the Northern Dian Kingdom what he had done in the past few days.

"Father, this is the method I have found to break the contract," the Crown Prince said in a deep voice.

The King of Northern Dian frowned. Before he could speak, Jiang Tinghao sneered and questioned, "Crown Prince, are you sure these methods will work?"

"You must understand, this contract cannot be broken. If I do as you suggest, that would be betrayal."

"If the contract doesn't resolve the issue, I'll be the one who suffers!"

"You hate me that much?"

Upon hearing this, the crown prince's anger flared up instantly: "I hate you?"

"Why should I hate you?" The prince simply couldn't understand.

"Your decision to form a bond with Qi Zhiyu was a mistake from the start."

"I'm saving your life!"

"Hmph, you know exactly what you're thinking," Jiang Tinghao sneered repeatedly. "I've already discussed it with my father."

"Since we're supporting each other, it's only natural that Qi Zhiyu, with her abilities, would help Bei Dian."

"Would she genuinely help you?" the prince asked disapprovingly.

He had also inquired about Qi Zhiyu's character and knew her style of doing things.

She openly sets traps for others.

Although he didn't know how Qi Zhiyu was going to set a trap for them in Beidian, he was on tenterhooks every moment.

It feels like they, from Beidian, have unknowingly fallen into a trap set by Qi Zhiyu.

What bothered him was that he didn't know if his feelings were correct.

This feeling is like someone having a nightmare and thinking they've woken up and escaped the nightmare, when in reality, the so-called nightmare is the reality.

"Of course, since the contract is real, if she is not sincere, she will naturally suffer divine punishment," Jiang Tinghao said through gritted teeth with a cold laugh.

How could he be the only one to experience that kind of pain, that excruciating agony that penetrates to the very soul?

Qi Zhiyu should also experience this.

She either has to accept the backlash of the contract, or he will drain all her value from her.

"Father." The Crown Prince knew he couldn't reason with Prince Ning, so he placed his hopes on his father, the Emperor.

The King of Northern Dian said in a deep voice, "Since things have come to this, we can only let your younger brother give it a try."

"He sacrificed a lot for northern Yunnan; you should help him, not hold him back."

The crown prince looked at his father in disbelief. What was wrong with his father?
