Qi Zhiyu spoke happily, while the Crown Prince listened in a daze.

Isn't Qi Zhiyu's plan a little too... meticulous?

"Princess, your idea is good, but..." the Crown Prince put forward his own thoughts.

"Oh, the problem you mentioned. There are several possible scenarios, and my solution is..." Qi Zhiyu began to explain directly to the Crown Prince.

Once they started talking, it took more than an hour.

"...That's roughly it. Anyway, this is what we need North Yunnan's cooperation for," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"According to what I said, there were almost no casualties in northern Yunnan."

"Our goal is to rightfully reclaim the Qi Kingdom, not to engage in slaughter."

"Your Highness is kind," the Crown Prince said, bowing.

Qi Zhiyu leaned back in her chair: "After all, national development always needs people."

"Now that everyone's been killed, who's going to do the work?"

Crown Prince: "..."

"Okay, that's roughly the idea. We can communicate any changes later," Qi Zhiyu said casually.

With the Crown Prince's deep roots in Northern Yunnan, having such an assistant makes things much easier for her.

"Princess, should we send a message back to Da Rui?" the Crown Prince asked.

Even if Qi Zhiyu had this idea before coming to Northern Yunnan, the specific plan still needs to be discussed with Emperor Kangwu and the others.

Having him around makes passing messages much easier.

Now that he has made his choice, he should naturally do Qi Zhiyu a favor. In the future, he hopes that she will treat the people of Northern Yunnan kindly in consideration of his cooperation.

"No need," Qi Zhiyu said confidently. "My father and the others will know what to do once they find out what's going on."

The Crown Prince looked at Qi Zhiyu's smile and suddenly felt relieved.

When she mentioned Emperor Kangwu and Prince Rui, her smile was genuine and pure.

In other words, she really cares about her family.

He knew Emperor Kangwu's character.

With Northern Yunnan now under the jurisdiction of Da Rui, he can rest assured.

Recently, Jiang Tinghao has found that things are going very smoothly for him.

After the soldiers learned martial arts, they made rapid progress. Although the medicine was quite expensive, it was still no problem to produce an elite force.

With this elite force, he could easily imagine how he would lead them to sweep across the battlefield.

Jiang Tinghao plunged into the military camp and has been busy with matters concerning military officers.

The crown prince continued to accompany the king of the Northern Dian Kingdom in handling state affairs.

"You've been doing quite a few things for Prince Ning lately," the King of Northern Dian suddenly said.

The prince paused in his writing, put the brush down, and then bowed, replying, "Yes."

"You certainly care for Prince Ning," the King of Northern Dian said with a smile.

The crown prince looked at his father, but he didn't feel that his father was praising him. Instead, he sensed a hint of sarcasm.

He understood his father's meaning.

The Emperor felt that he was doing it for the Emperor's benefit.

This was so that his father would see that he cared for his younger brother and to please his father.

The Crown Prince sighed inwardly, forced to admire the power of the princess's jade pendant.

This amplifies all the suspicions in the Emperor's heart. In the Emperor's eyes, everything he does now is for ulterior motives and for the throne.

"The improvement in the soldiers' strength is a good thing for Northern Yunnan," the Crown Prince said, seemingly oblivious to the meaning behind his father's words.

"Well done, Prince Ning."

It would be even better if Northern Yunnan were not incorporated into Da Rui.

However... this outcome was already irreversible, and he accepted it.

The King of Northern Dian smiled and said, "I am getting old, and what I hope for most is that you brothers can live in harmony."

"Only when brothers are of one mind can northern Yunnan be better."

"Father's words are correct," the Crown Prince said, bowing his head.

The king of Northern Dian frowned; he realized he could no longer understand his son's thoughts.

She's really become carefree; she keeps everything from him.

The Crown Prince no longer cares about his father's thoughts; he now only wants to preserve Northern Yunnan as much as possible.

Although Qi Zhiyu said that there would be no casualties in Beidian when attacking Qi, he still needed to make thorough preparations.

He also understood that Qi Zhiyu was using the troops of Bei Dian to attack Qi State in order to preserve the military strength of Da Rui; she was using Bei Dian.

But what could he do?

Now, they in northern Yunnan need to demonstrate their value in order to be valued in the future and not be easily discarded.

As for Qi Kingdom... he felt it would be worse than their situation in Northern Yunnan.

Just as the Crown Prince was making preparations, Emperor Kangwu of Da Rui frowned as he looked at the message that had been sent back.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?"

The Crown Prince, formerly known as Prince Rui Qi Zhaoheng, smiled smugly: "Everything is progressing smoothly on Yu'er's side."

Prince Xin echoed, "Your Majesty is right."

"My niece is truly remarkable. She's only been in Northern Yunnan for a short time, yet she's already managed to attract Qi Yanhe and his men there."

Emperor Kangwu took a deep breath and, without any hesitation, threw out the two memorials.

Prince Xin hurriedly raised his hand to catch it, while Qi Zhaoheng slightly turned his head to the side, letting the memorial fly past his cheek.

"Father, what are you doing now?" Qi Zhaoheng looked at Emperor Kangwu helplessly, as if he were a mischievous child.

"Let's get down to business, instead of throwing around memorials."

"Even if those ministers' memorials are full of nonsense, you can't just throw them around like that, can you?"

"Shut up!" Emperor Kangwu slammed his fist on the table.

Qi Zhaoheng immediately shut up and became very obedient.

"You two scoundrels, are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?" Emperor Kangwu roared in anger. "Why would Qi Yanhe go to Northern Yunnan?"

Prince Xin was unsure whether he should speak or not, so he looked at his elder brother.

"Why are you looking at him? Tell me!" Emperor Kangwu scolded.

Prince Xin forced an awkward smile: "This matter... this matter... Your subject doesn't know either."

Emperor Kangwu sneered and threw another memorial at him: "You don't know? You know how powerful Chen'an is? You know it was Chen'an who led Qi Yan to Northern Yunnan?"

Why should we play dumb with him here?

Do you think he's senile and easy to fool?

Prince Xin received the memorial and silently placed it aside.

He suddenly realized why his older brother hadn't accepted the offer.

Because my father threw them over, I don't know how many there were... I'll just pick them all up in the end.

One book after another came in, but the older brother found it troublesome.

Prince Xin understood everything, but he dared not say it.

Emperor Kangwu was naturally aware of this, and he glared at Qi Zhaoheng: "Are you mute? Speak up!"

Qi Zhaoheng said helplessly, "Father, you were the one who told me to shut up."

As soon as Qi Zhaoheng finished speaking, he immediately swayed back and forth and left and right to dodge the dozen or so memorials his father threw at him.

King Xin: "..."

I feel like I've become narrow-minded.

His older brother wasn't finding it troublesome; he just didn't have time to take them one by one.

"You still have the nerve to play games with me?" Emperor Kangwu sneered, then asked, "Do you even know what Qi Yanhe's departure to Northern Yunnan means?"
