Princess Qi's face was ashen, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Like a demon that has escaped from the underworld, it is exceptionally terrifying.

Luo Yu and Ning Shuang stared at her warily. What was she planning to do?

She's asking for it; don't let her dirty blood splatter on their princess.

The princess would find it distasteful.

"Qi Zhiyu..." Princess Qi roared, "Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"

Qi Zhiyu slumped her shoulders: "Indeed, it's impossible."

She sighed heavily and muttered aggrievedly, "My dad and the others won't allow it."

"Hmph, so you have something to be afraid of!" Princess Qi sneered.

"Alright, as your aunt, I have a few words of advice for you."

"Tell those who are not involved to leave first."

Princess Qi glanced at Luo Yu and Ning Shuang.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "They are not unrelated people."

"This is my grandfather's love for me."

Princess Qi felt a pang of pain in her heart and angrily rebuked, "Qi Zhiyu, don't go too far!"

She knew that her father cared most about her, yet she couldn't get his attention.

Qi Zhiyu's words were clearly a stab in the heart!

Qi Zhiyu asked with a grin, "I've gone too far, so what can you do about it?"

Princess Qi slammed her hand on the table: "Qi Zhiyu, you forced me to do this."

"How are you?" Qi Zhiyu asked dismissively.

Princess Qi suddenly waved her hand.

Qi Zhiyu sneered, "What are you doing? Performing magic tricks? Really..."

She swayed, and before she could finish speaking, she suddenly fainted.

As Luo Yu and Ning Shuang charged forward, they had only taken one step when they collapsed to the ground.

Princess Qi was overjoyed, and then she turned to look at the door.

As soon as the door opened, two old women came in, nodded slightly to her, helped Qi Zhiyu up, and left.

There wasn't a single servant in the courtyard outside.

They gently helped Qi Zhiyu into the carriage that Princess Qi had ridden in.

Princess Qi was extremely excited.

After returning home, Princess Qi happened to run into Qi Yanhe, who had just returned from the palace.

She excitedly exclaimed, "Your Highness, the matter has been settled!"

Qi Yan was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"Naturally, it's to deal with Qi Zhiyu," Princess Qi said with a smug smile.

Qi Yanhe sighed: "Actually, you don't..."

"I've brought her here. When she stays out all night and loses her reputation, Bei Dian will have a reason to hold Da Rui accountable." As soon as Princess Qi said this, Qi Yanhe's expression changed drastically.

"What do you mean?" Qi Yan grabbed Princess Qi's shoulders forcefully.

Princess Qi frowned and struggled in pain, saying, "Your Highness, you're hurting me."

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Qi Yanhe had no time to care whether Princess Qi was in pain or not; the fear in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, poised to explode.

He hoped he was overthinking things and that it was just a false alarm.

"But haven't I been with those ladies all along..." Princess Qi was frightened by Qi Yanhe's angry appearance and stammered.

Qi Yanhe couldn't wait any longer and snapped, "Get to the point!"

"It was the Seventh Princess who said that since Qi Zhiyu wouldn't listen to me, I should teach Qi Zhiyu a lesson," Princess Qi blurted out in a panic.

"They said there's a medicine that can make people fall into a coma. The Seventh Princess gave it to me."

"Get Qi Zhiyu back to me right now!" Qi Yan roared.

"No, that's not right!" Qi Yanhe's mind raced as he asked, "You said the Seventh Princess gave you the medicine?"

"Yes, yes..." Princess Qi didn't know what had happened. She said with a sob in her voice, "Your Highness, please don't do this, I'm scared."

Qi Yan quickly summoned his trusted confidants, gathered the necessary items, boarded the carriage, and headed out.

"Your Highness, where are we going?" Princess Qi was completely bewildered as she sat in the carriage.

What's wrong?

Her husband's face had been unusually grim since just now.

She had never seen her prince look so terrifying.

Qi Yanhe gave Princess Qi a deep look: "I hope I'm wrong, otherwise..."

Princess Qi asked blankly, "Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, even if you are torn to pieces, you will still be guilty!" Qi Yan said this through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.

Princess Qi clearly felt a chill run through her body.

He's going to kill her!

He really wants to kill her!

She sensed the murderous intent in his eyes.

How could the beloved Princess Qi tolerate such an insult?

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Princess Qi was furious. "We are husband and wife!"

"What exactly happened? You didn't tell me, and now you're blaming me! You've gone too far!"

Qi Yan stared coldly at Princess Qi, without saying a word.

They quickly left the city and sped along the main road.

Princess Qi was extremely uncomfortable due to the jolting.

"Your Highness!" A voice came from outside the carriage.

Prince Qi immediately ordered the carriage to stop and opened the carriage window.

Outside the carriage, a travel-worn guard bowed and said, "The King of Northern Dian has suddenly been poisoned, and the imperial physicians are helpless."

Qi Yanhe felt a buzzing in his head.

He immediately ordered, "Take the back road immediately. Notify those on the way back to the city to arrange new carriages in advance."

"Yes!" The guard replied with a cupped hand, then immediately spurred his horse and rode off ahead.

The carriage started running wildly again, and Princess Qi asked in alarm, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"We've been outmaneuvered," Qi Yan said coldly. "Bei Dian has probably been cooperating with Da Rui for a long time, wanting to deal with Qi Kingdom."

"Huh?" Princess Qi didn't understand.

"Don't you understand?" Qi Yan said hatefully, "Today, the King of Beidian suddenly summoned me to the palace, and then, as soon as I left the palace, he was poisoned."

"And you, you kidnapped Qi Zhiyu, the only one with any hope of curing the poison."

"I killed the king of Northern Dian, what do you think will happen to Northern Dian?"

Princess Qi finally understood, but she still had many questions: "But, but that medicine was given to me by the Seventh Princess, who told me to teach Qi Zhiyu a lesson."

"The Seventh Princess was part of their plan! They're in cahoots!" Qi Yan roared.

Is she even capable of using her brain to think for herself?

"Then...then the King of Northern Dian was really poisoned?" Princess Qi asked in surprise. "If they plotted against us, and he wasn't poisoned, wouldn't that be a lie?"

Qi Yan took a deep breath to keep from fainting from anger: "So what if I lied?"

"I came to Northern Yunnan to poison the king and kidnap the queen. My intention is to put the king to death."

"The Northern Dian Kingdom will then have ample reason to attack the Qi Kingdom!"

"If we had been even a fraction of a second slower, we would all be dead in northern Yunnan!"

Princess Qi was shocked: "But we still have people left behind."

His earlier statement to the public was that he was going to take a look outside the city.

So, most of the people who came with them stayed.

"You still have the mind to care about those people? We're not even sure if we can escape!" Qi Yanhe closed his eyes in pain.

It seems he really didn't overthink it.
