He said that marrying Qi Zhiyu would be more beneficial than harmful to Northern Yunnan!

"The princess is indeed very knowledgeable." Jiang Tinghao smiled meaningfully. "Even the imperial physicians couldn't cure this injury, but it's nothing to the princess."

"Indeed." Qi Zhiyu smiled. "Nothing is a big deal to me."

Jiang Tinghao gritted his teeth, feeling his authority challenged: "It is truly my blessing to marry the princess."

"Indeed." Qi Zhiyu nodded in agreement and gave him an approving look.

His understanding is very clear.

Jiang Tinghao cried out in pain; he had aggravated his wrist injury by clenching his fist tightly.

Jiang Tinghao could still endure the pain.

What angered him most was that Qi Zhiyu merely glanced at him indifferently, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever.

"I'm in pain!" Jiang Tinghao reminded her.

"Oh," Qi Zhiyu replied casually, indicating that she had heard him.

"Qi Zhiyu, don't you have anything to say?" Jiang Tinghao asked angrily.

Qi Zhiyu looked at him in confusion: "What did I say? You won't feel pain? Teach me."

The thirst for knowledge in her eyes was genuine; she truly wanted to know.

It was precisely because of her sincerity that Jiang Tinghao was so angry that his vision blurred and his chest hurt so much that he almost fainted.

But strangely, no one in the house cared about him.

Jiang Tinghao took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down: "Qi Zhiyu, you need to think this through. The reason you're safe and sound in the Prince's Mansion right now is all because of me."

"Do you know how many people want you dead?"

Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"You still have the nerve to ask why?" Jiang Tinghao roared, "Isn't it because..."

"Why are they so foolish as to deliberately seek death?" Qi Zhiyu pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.

If I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it.

What does it matter to her whether other people live or die?

Qi Zhiyu still thought the storybooks were good; the stories were really childish, perfect for passing the time and entertainment.

She looked up, surprised, and asked, "What are you still doing here?"

Jiang Tinghao nearly spat out blood: "The imperial tombs of my Northern Yunnan royal family have been struck by lightning!"

"It's all because I married you!"

"If it weren't for me, do you think you could still be here saying such infuriating things?"

Does Qi Zhiyu even know that just because she's here, she should bow her head and be grateful to him?

"The imperial mausoleum..." Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise.

"Yes, these past few days, Father Emperor has been busy repairing the imperial mausoleum to apologize to our ancestors!" Jiang Tinghao said through gritted teeth.

"Many ministers wanted to hand you over and send you to the imperial mausoleum to kowtow and admit your mistakes to the ancestors."

"It was because of the pressure that I didn't..."

His impassioned words were interrupted by a soft laugh from Qi Zhiyu.

Jiang Tinghao stared incredulously at Qi Zhiyu, who was laughing: "What are you laughing at? Are you mocking me?"

"Me, go and apologize? Are you sure your Jiang family ancestors could bear that?" Qi Zhiyu asked him with amusement.

"Your imperial tombs haven't been fundamentally damaged yet. Do you really want them razed to the ground?"

Qi Zhiyu was really curious about how Jiang Tinghao came up with those words.

The rare and precious material she created amplifies people's emotions, but the effect is just too remarkable!

Sure enough, the longer she stayed in this world, the more the world's constraints on her diminished as the balance of fortune shifted.

"Everyone is very angry right now!" Jiang Tinghao emphasized.

He wanted Qi Zhiyu to know that without him, she would have to bear the wrath of the entire Northern Yunnan alone.

"Why do you all insist that it was because they were struck by lightning?" Qi Zhiyu didn't quite understand.

"Didn't you form a pact with me because your ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke?"

"Pfft..." Luo Yu felt Jiang Tinghao's gaze and explained in a low voice, embarrassed, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

She really doesn't smile under normal circumstances.

However, the princess's statement is really quite interesting.

"Qi Zhiyu!" Jiang Tinghao roared.

"Did I say anything wrong?" Qi Zhiyu was quite reasonable. "Auspicious smoke rising from ancestral graves is a good omen."

"But tell me, if the ancestral graves aren't struck by lightning, what other way is there for them to emit smoke?"

"ignition?"

"Who would go and light a fire at their own family's grave, burning offerings for their own ancestors?"

"So..." Qi Zhiyu said to Jiang Tinghao in a serious tone, "The fact that you can form a contract with me is because your family's ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."

"Look, you saw the results that day."

Jiang Tinghao's lips moved, and he held the prescription in his hand, but in the end, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Qi Zhiyu is still useful, so he'll spare her for now!

I'll settle the score with her later!

Jiang Tinghao turned around angrily, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and strode away.

The thumping footsteps made Luo Yu purse her lips. She was angry, but she couldn't even get angry. What a coward!

"Princess, what are you thinking?" Luo Yu asked with a grin. "Those words were really infuriating."

Qi Zhiyu looked at her blankly: "Isn't that the truth?"

Luo Yu was stunned. She carefully observed her princess's expression and discovered that... her princess was serious.

That's really what her princess thinks.

Luo Yu suddenly felt that she had forgotten how to speak.

However, thinking about it, it's not a problem that the princess would think that way.

The fact that Prince Ning was able to form a sworn brotherhood with their princess is truly a stroke of good luck for their ancestors.

Princess, what you say makes a lot of sense.

Oh dear, she misunderstood from the beginning.

Yes, the princess is right!

"Princess, why would you give a prescription to someone like Prince Ning?" Luo Yu said indignantly.

He even dared to yell at the princess!

"He and I have formed a bond, and I will naturally fulfill his requests as long as they are not excessive," Qi Zhiyu said.

"He got off too easy," Luo Yu gritted her teeth in resentment.

Ning Shuang glanced at Luo Yu but didn't say anything.

"What do you want to say?" Luo Yu noticed and asked directly.

"There's something strange about this," Ning Shuang said, looking at Qi Zhiyu.

"The princess said that the bond was for the good of the other person, and that we should support each other. If that prescription is really that good, why didn't the princess bring it out sooner?"

"If we don't bring it out soon, won't the princess suffer the backlash of the contract?"

"If there's no backlash, then the fact that the princess didn't bring it out means that this prescription... isn't that good."

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly; Ning Shuang was quite thoughtful.

"Anything that defies common sense has a reason," Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "It's just that some people will make a choice after weighing the pros and cons."

"Jiang Tinghao made the choice himself, so it has nothing to do with me."

"If it were me, I wouldn't use that prescription if I had time to let the injury heal slowly."

"He insisted on using... I can only call him—a warrior."
