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

Recently, Jiang Tinghao has been focusing all his energy on training his soldiers.

Sure enough, with the silver donated by civil and military officials, we were able to buy enough medicine, and progress was truly rapid.

Qi Yanhe will arrive soon, and the Crown Prince originally intended to meet Qi Zhiyu.

Here, he can still manage to avoid people and arrange a meeting with Qi Zhiyu.

To his surprise, Qi Zhiyu told him to come directly to the Prince Ning's residence.

They came to Prince Ning openly and honestly to discuss matters.

In this way, they can meet.

After receiving this reply, the crown prince couldn't sleep well all night.

Because he couldn't understand it!

The next day, he arrived at the Prince Ning's residence as promised and met Jiang Tinghao.

He had prepared his explanation, but before he could even speak, Jiang Tinghao led him directly to Qi Zhiyu's courtyard.

The Crown Prince was taken aback when he saw Qi Zhiyu with Jiang Tinghao, and then sat down.

"Your Highness, what is it?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

The crown prince didn't know how to answer.

Are there some things that Jiang Tinghao can listen to?

Qi Zhiyu naturally understood the Crown Prince's concerns, and she said with a smile, "A few days ago, the Prince suddenly wanted to consummate our marriage."

The crown prince's eyes widened in shock, and he abruptly stood up: "Princess, what did you do to Prince Ning?"

Qi Zhiyu burst out laughing.

She likes smart people.

Is there anything the Crown Prince doesn't understand?

Has Jiang Tinghao gone mad?

"You've already married him, why does he still want a wedding night?"

Does he want to die even faster?

"Princess, you promised me you would spare their lives." The Crown Prince's nose stung with tears of anxiety.

Regardless of what Jiang Tinghao is like, he is still his younger brother.

He watched them grow up.

Jiang Tinghao is just too young, full of recklessness.

Jiang Tinghao's starting point was all for the sake of northern Yunnan, but he was not thorough in his considerations and was also less skilled than others.

But... but he didn't deserve to die.

Of course, the crown prince also understood that in the face of the strong, does life and death... need a reason?

They only care about other people's moods.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "I'm a person who always keeps my word."

As she spoke, she pointed at Jiang Tinghao: "Look, he's still here, perfectly fine, isn't he?"

The crown prince shook his head: "That's not right."

If Jiang Tinghao knew that he had surrendered to Qi Zhiyu, Jiang Tinghao would definitely not be so calm.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and said, "I don't like being forced to do things I don't like."

"Having multiple husbands in name is fine, but... he's pushing his luck, that's not good."

"Also, Your Highness, rest assured, I have a contract with Jiang Tinghao and will only do things that benefit him."

The Crown Prince was still extremely worried: "Princess, tell me, is this true...?"

He gestured up and down at Jiang Tinghao with his hand: "...Is this to his advantage?"

"I really can't see where the advantage lies."

Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile, "What does Jiang Tinghao hope for most right now?"

"Naturally, it's about training the soldiers," the crown prince said without hesitation.

He had seen how much effort Jiang Tinghao had put into caring for his soldiers recently.

"Therefore, with my personal guidance, those soldiers will improve even faster." Qi Zhiyu's words puzzled the Crown Prince.

"The princess personally provided guidance?"

The Crown Prince tried hard to recall, but recently Qi Zhiyu didn't seem to have even left the Ning Prince's residence, so how could she have gone to the army to instruct those soldiers?

Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile, "Has Your Highness ever heard of... puppets?"

The prince clenched his fist tightly, his nails digging deep into his palm.

Only this pain could remind him to stay calm: "What the princess means is..."

"Look." Qi Zhiyu raised her chin slightly, gesturing for the Crown Prince to look at Jiang Tinghao.

"Don't worry, he has his own thoughts, it's just that he can't show them right now. Once I return to Da Rui, he will naturally return to normal," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.

"However, I feel that the Crown Prince won't be at ease until things are cleared up." Qi Zhiyu was quite generous to those she trusted.

"Your Highness can go to the study next door with him for a detailed discussion."

Her yard is big enough, so naturally there's a study.

However, she has never used it.

"Your Highness, please," Jiang Tinghao invited.

The Crown Prince glanced at Qi Zhiyu, but still followed Jiang Tinghao to the study.

Once the door closed, the Crown Prince looked at Jiang Tinghao, unsure of what to say or how to ask.

Jiang Tinghao, on the other hand, had tea brought over, closed the door, and sat down.

The instant he sat down, his calm expression was instantly replaced by a twisted, ferocious look: "Quick, quick, kill Qi Zhiyu!"

"She's not human!" Jiang Tinghao said, his face filled with terror.

No matter how excited he looked, his posture remained unchanged.

Looking at the bizarre scene before him, the prince asked, "You can't control your body."

Jiang Tinghao was taken aback, then quickly said, "Yes, I can't control it."

"I can't even raise my voice!"

The prince understood.

He had been wondering why Jiang Tinghao was so eager, yet his voice remained extremely calm and steady.

It turns out that even he himself couldn't control this.

He suddenly realized what Qi Zhiyu meant by "puppet".

Jiang Tinghao is now truly a puppet controlled by Qi Zhiyu.

The puppets created by puppet regimes that are effectively controlled still have a chance to resist, but the puppets created by Qi Zhiyu... have absolutely no chance to fight back.

"Jiang Tinghao!" the Crown Prince whispered.

Jiang Tinghao hadn't heard the Crown Prince call him that in a long time, and he was taken aback.

"Don't you understand what you've provoked?" the crown prince asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Tinghao lowered his eyes guiltily.

Then, considering his current situation, he quickly said, "Quickly, quickly find someone to kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"Qi Zhiyu must not be allowed to live!"

The crown prince asked, amused, "Who do you think could kill her?"

Jiang Tinghao said urgently, "Her martial arts have been crippled. Find someone to divert the two bodyguards around her so that..."

"Who told you her martial arts skills were ruined?" the prince asked.

Jiang Tinghao stared in astonishment, his eyes wide: "He's definitely been crippled. I had the imperial physician examine him back then."

The crown prince was so angry he laughed: "Look at her like this, how accurate is the imperial physician's examination?"

Jiang Tinghao was stunned.

"I tried," the prince sighed. "When I realized her intentions, I thought that even if it meant dying together, I would kill her."

Jiang Tinghao's lips moved, about to ask a question, but he let out a bitter laugh: "It failed."

It's too obvious. If it had succeeded, how could Qi Zhiyu still be alright?

"I should have thought of that sooner, I should have thought of that sooner..." Jiang Tinghao was now filled with regret.

When he saw the martial arts techniques written down by Qi Zhiyu, he should have realized that they were not ordinary martial arts, or rather, they were not martial arts that humans could practice.

Suddenly, his shoulder was pressed down. Jiang Tinghao looked up and met the Crown Prince's calm gaze.

The Crown Prince smiled slightly: "I'm here, don't worry."

Tears streamed down Jiang Tinghao's face as he uttered the word he hadn't called out in years: "Brother..."
