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

Luo Yu thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Princess, that prescription looks suspicious. Will Prince Ning really take it?"

Wouldn't the ruler of the Northern Dian Kingdom try to dissuade him?

Prince Ning was the most beloved youngest son of the ruler of the Northern Dian Kingdom.

Could it be that he would just stand by and watch Prince Ning take such a risk?

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "The King of Northern Dian and the Crown Prince have already developed a rift."

Luo Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

"From the moment the Crown Prince repeatedly tried to stop Jiang Tinghao from forming a bond with me, his father could see the Crown Prince's dissatisfaction," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile, lightly tapping her fingers on the table.

"An emperor rarely thinks about things from a place of goodwill."

"He would feel that his authority has been challenged."

Even if his judgment is wrong, he won't think it's his fault.

"Especially the Crown Prince, he shouldn't have contradicted or disobeyed him."

"His throne will always be his, and he can choose his successor, but the successor must never covet that position."

Luo Yu swallowed hard, then asked dryly, "Princess, would the King of Beidian depose the Crown Prince for the sake of Prince Ning?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "You're wrong."

"He wasn't doing it for Jiang Tinghao; he was doing it for himself."

"One prince has a solid foundation in the court and can succeed him as crown prince at any time. The other prince's foundation is still weak and he needs his support."

Which one do you think he'll choose?

Luo Yu couldn't understand: "But...but if we change the person, won't the court be thrown into chaos?"

"As people get older, their energy can't keep up. The power he once had in control of everything is slowly slipping away... Do you think he'll be content with that?" Qi Zhiyu chuckled.

"He's not much younger than my grandfather. He doesn't need a qualified successor now, but rather a successor who depends on him."

Luo Yu blinked, seemingly understanding: "If we support Prince Ning, will the King of Northern Dian still think he's young?"

Qi Zhiyu nodded with a smile: "Mm."

"But that's just his feeling," Luo Yu said, not understanding.

"That's enough for him," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"The Crown Prince is clever; he's figured it out."

"It was precisely because he realized that he wouldn't allow his father to do something foolish."

"The more he acts like this, the angrier his father will become, feeling that the crown prince is out of his control. In that case... the emperor will support his younger son, and the crown prince will lead the court officials..."

Qi Zhiyu clapped her hands happily: "That's how they started fighting!"

"There's no need to waste our Great Rui's troops."

Luo Yu's heart clenched. Thank goodness, thank goodness, this was their princess from Da Rui.

As Qi Zhiyu had predicted, the Crown Prince was firmly opposed to Jiang Tinghao taking the medicine prescribed by Qi Zhiyu.

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of your repeated attempts to stop me?" Jiang Tinghao glared angrily at the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince frowned deeply: "You heard what the imperial physician just said."

"Nine out of ten of the ingredients in this prescription are poisons, and they are mutually reinforcing and mutually antagonistic. Once taken, a person will undoubtedly die."

He didn't want Prince Ning to go to his death, so why was Prince Ning glaring at him angrily?

After Prince Ning formed the pact, did he lose his mind?

"I won't die!" Jiang Tinghao said with absolute certainty.

The Crown Prince laughed in exasperation: "You really believe Qi Zhiyu's contract that much?"

"It was indeed a natural phenomenon at the time, but what if she was just making it up?"

Even if you're 80% sure, you shouldn't gamble your life on the remaining 20%!

"The unusual innate phenomenon is one aspect," Jiang Tinghao said in a deep voice, "but I'm betting that Qi Zhiyu wouldn't dare kill me!"

"If she kills me, then Northern Yunnan can legitimately send troops to attack Da Rui."

"Catch them off guard."

"I think it's worth it to exchange my life for the opportunity for my father to expand the territory."

The King of Northern Dian looked at his youngest son in shock, feeling a bittersweet warmth in his heart.

The youngest son is the most considerate.

He really did love him well.

The Crown Prince hadn't expected Jiang Tinghao to think this way, and he frowned deeply: "Then I don't agree with you taking this risk."

"There are other ways to attack Da Rui, why go to such lengths?"

You only have one life.

He didn't want to see his younger brother gambling like that; it hadn't come to the point where such a sacrifice was necessary.

Jiang Tinghao suddenly let out a cold laugh: "Crown Prince, are you worried that I'll perform a great service?"

The crown prince stared at him in astonishment, suddenly realizing that his earlier sympathy for Jiang Tinghao was a joke.

How ironic.

He was worried about Jiang Tinghao, but Jiang Tinghao doubted his intentions.

In Jiang Tinghao's heart, he was a person whose merits outweighed his kinship.

The crown prince felt he was being treated unfairly!

All those years of love and care have really been wasted on feeding the dog.

Even for the sake of the dog, the dog still knows to guard the house.

Jiang Tinghao... he's completely biting back!

That's disgusting!

The Crown Prince's face was extremely ugly, and his gaze toward Jiang Tinghao was particularly complicated.

This scene, witnessed by the King of Northern Dian, made him increasingly certain that his youngest son's guess was correct.

The Crown Prince has become too ambitious!

"Father, if the prescription proves to be effective, then it proves that the oath of brotherhood is true," Jiang Tinghao said passionately, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Your Majesty, I have instructed Qi Zhiyu to improve the prescription and use it in the army, so that all the soldiers in our Northern Yunnan may benefit."

"When the time comes, our Northern Yunnan army will be invincible when we set out again!"

The king of the Northern Dian Kingdom was also moved when he thought of that scene.

Jiang Tinghao laughed triumphantly, "Not only that."

"I can obtain Qi Zhiyu's martial arts skills, as well as other medicinal formulas. In this way... Father, our Northern Yunnan's strength will increase dramatically, and taking over Da Rui will be just around the corner!"

Although the king of Northern Dian did not say anything, his flushed face said it all.

He strongly agreed with Jiang Tinghao's statement.

The prince's thoughts only lingered in his mind; he did not voice them aloud.

He had a suspicion, or rather, he was 90% sure that what he was thinking was right.

If Qi Zhiyu's martial arts skills were really that good, why didn't he teach them to the soldiers of Da Rui back then?

Do we really have to wait for them to reap the benefits?

Emperor Kangwu wasn't stupid; he wouldn't just sit there with a mountain of gold and not use it.

Besides, given Emperor Kangwu's favor towards Qi Zhiyu, Qi Zhiyu wouldn't be stingy with mere martial arts skills.

In the past, he would have raised this question long ago, but now... he chose to remain silent.

Even if he said it, his father would think he was just trying to show off.

"Have someone prepare the medicine," Jiang Tinghao said in a deep voice.

The king of the Northern Dian Kingdom immediately ordered his men to do it, and instructed them to keep a close watch on the prescription and follow the steps exactly as written.

A short while later, the herbal medicine was brought over.

Just as Jiang Tinghao took it and brought it to his lips, he heard the Crown Prince call out, "Prince Ning!"

He looked up and saw that the prince had only said, "Let it cool down a bit, be careful not to burn yourself."

He originally wanted to say another word of advice to Jiang Tinghao, but the wariness in Jiang Tinghao's eyes made him change the words he was about to say.
