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

No wonder Qi Zhiyu dared to openly reveal all her plans.

She was certain that he wouldn't be able to break the deadlock.

They could only struggle painfully in this certain death situation.

The cat teases the mouse.

He was that ridiculous mouse.

The prince slumped into his chair, his arms hanging limply at his sides, as if all his energy had been drained away, leaving him lifeless.

What a terrifying conspiracy!

After a long while, he moved his lowered hand, his fingers trembling slightly, slowly bending and tightening, finally clenching into a fist.

Because of excessive force, the knuckles lost their color and turned deathly pale, and the veins on the back of the hand bulged out.

He opened his eyes, which were filled with a resolute chill.

He cannot give up.

He is the crown prince of Northern Yunnan. If he gives up, what will happen to Northern Yunnan?

The prince suddenly stood up, his previous dejected state completely gone.

He has no time to waste here; he's going to fight back, whether it works or not!

The prince went to formulate a plan with great determination.

Jiang Tinghao spent three days in the palace.

He raised his hand to look at his wrist, and it was indeed healed.

He witnessed the injury heal at an abnormally fast pace in just three days.

"Father, this medicine really works!" Jiang Tinghao said excitedly. "Your subject will go back immediately and have Qi Zhiyu modify the prescription."

The King of Northern Dian patted him on the shoulder: "You child, you've only just recovered, and you don't even think about yourself, you're only thinking about the soldiers."

Jiang Tinghao smiled: "Father, isn't this what I should do?"

"While serving in the army, I witnessed the suffering of soldiers after they were wounded."

"If we had this medicine, it would alleviate their pain and help them recover quickly, thus sparing them a lot of suffering."

"On the battlefield, the faster your wounds heal, the greater your chances of survival."

The King of Northern Dian nodded with a smile: "Well said."

"This is truly my good son."

"Father, I will take my leave now." Jiang Tinghao bowed and withdrew.

After returning home, Jiang Tinghao first washed up properly before changing his clothes and going to find Qi Zhiyu.

As soon as he entered Qi Zhiyu's courtyard, he almost choked with anger.

Qi Zhiyu knew how to enjoy herself. She lay half-reclined on the couch, with a maid massaging her legs and shoulders and feeding her fruit and snacks.

Ahead, dancers were gracefully performing to the sounds of string and wind instruments.

The nanny leading the way quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Prince has arrived."

"Okay, have a seat," Qi Zhiyu said casually, without even lifting her eyelids, let alone looking at Jiang Tinghao.

"Get down, all of you!" Jiang Tinghao commanded coldly without sitting down.

The musicians were so frightened that they stopped playing and knelt down along with the dancers.

"Get out!" Jiang Tinghao shouted angrily.

The musicians scrambled away, and soon the courtyard was completely quiet.

All of this had no impact on Qi Zhiyu.

Ning Shuang and Luo Yu took over the tasks of massaging shoulders and feeding fruit.

Jiang Tinghao said coldly, "Both of you, get out of here. I have something to discuss with the Princess!"

Ning Shuang and Luo Yu acted as if they hadn't heard anything. They only listened to the princess's orders, and anything else was just nonsense!

Ignored, Jiang Tinghao stepped forward: "Your Highness, didn't you hear me?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and waved her hand.

Ning Shuang and Luo Yu then bowed and withdrew.

Once everyone else was gone, Jiang Tinghao said sarcastically, "The Princess Consort has quite the airs."

Qi Zhiyu said directly, "Impossible."

"What's impossible?" Jiang Tinghao didn't react for a moment.

Is there any logical connection between what the two of them are saying?

"The prescription can't be changed. It can't be turned into a painless and quick-recovery healing medicine," Qi Zhiyu said slowly.

Jiang Tinghao simply didn't believe it: "How could that be?"

"The princess's medical skills are superb, so why can't she correct it?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed, looking at Jiang Tinghao as if he were an idiot: "If I could modify it, the army of Da Rui would have been using this kind of wound medicine long ago."

"How could we let Northern Yunnan benefit from this?"

Jiang Tinghao was furious.

Since Qi Zhiyu can't change it, what about the suffering he's endured these past three days?

"You brought this on yourself." Qi Zhiyu's casual remark completely enraged Jiang Tinghao.

"Qi Zhiyu, don't go too far! Don't forget, we're bound by a pact!" Jiang Tinghao roared. "Aren't you afraid of the backlash if you betray your own husband like this?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled and asked, "Back then, you said you wanted to heal the wounds, but did you ever mention wanting me to improve the prescription?"

"I haven't said it before, but I'm saying it now," Jiang Tinghao said through gritted teeth.

Qi Zhiyu looked at him with utter incomprehension: "What's the point of you saying it now?"

"If I can't meet your demands, does that violate our mutual support agreement?"

"You should know that a contract witnessed by heaven and earth is the fairest and most just; it will not harm one party to benefit the other."

"Unreasonable demands will not be supported by the contract."

Jiang Tinghao swayed with anger.

He had been exhausted over the past three days and was already weak. Then, Qi Zhiyu angered him, and he simply couldn't hold on any longer.

He glared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu, then strode away.

After he left, Ning Shuang and Luo Yu came over.

Luo Yu asked worriedly, "Princess, the contract was so fair, you...?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed and said lightly, "The contract won't be broken, but I can be."

"The contract only needs to be fair; I'll handle the rest."

"Don't worry, I never like to cause trouble for others. There won't be any mistakes in the contract."

Luo Yu: "..."

I feel like my worries were unnecessary!

Ning Shuang suddenly blurted out, "Princess, do you often do things like this?"

Even contracts witnessed by heaven and earth can be exploited.

"Is the heavens and earth... quite angry? If the heavens and earth are enraged... Princess..." Ning Shuang said fearfully.

She had never seen anyone dare to disrespect heaven and earth.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled lightly: "This level is nothing."

"Heaven and earth are not that petty."

The Heavenly Dao of the original world would not be affected by things of this magnitude.

The Heavenly Dao here should be similar.

She knows what she's doing.

After all, having fought against the Heavenly Dao in the original world, he knew where the Heavenly Dao's bottom line was.

Ning Shuang's heart skipped a beat. The princess seemed quite skilled in this area.

Qi Zhiyu didn't take any of this seriously at all; anyway, even if things got chaotic, it wouldn't affect her.

She was somewhat looking forward to the Crown Prince's move.

Let's see what kind of amazing skills this person has that will catch her eye.

As for Jiang Tinghao... he's just a tool.

He doesn't notice anything amiss when things are going well, but when he encounters something beyond his comprehension, he completely loses his judgment.

It's not that he's incompetent, it's just that he's still too inexperienced.

They have too little ability to cope with setbacks.

Compared to her second brother, Jiang Tinghao is far inferior.

Her second brother took on everything himself back then.

Oh dear, I miss my second brother.
