After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 173 She is actually a prince
Qi Wanqiu and her group fought fiercely, neither side gaining the upper hand.

Soon, the opponent was no match for Qi Wanqiu and ran away.

"Brother Qi, you're getting more and more amazing."

Qi Wanqiu ignored the man and went to the Third Princess, asking, "Young Master, are you alright?"

The third princess looked up at the man in front of her, shook her head in fear, and said, "I'm fine, brother, can you take me to find my sister?"

The Third Princess and the Eldest Princess had originally gone out to visit the Empress Dowager together today, but the Third Princess felt unwell on the way and wanted to find a place to relieve herself.

Unexpectedly, she encountered this bandit, and everyone around her was killed.

Qi Wanqiu helped the person up and said, "Sure! Where is it? We'll take you there."

"Thank you, it's right over there at the teahouse."

Qi Wanqiu also knew the difference between men and women, so she did not go directly to help the person.

"Can you ride a horse?"

The third princess thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"Then come with me!"

Qi Wanqiu mounted her horse, her dark clothes gleaming in the light, and reached out her hand.

In a daze, the third princess saw her own light.

"Come on up, I'll show you."

"Okay, thank you"

The third princess placed her hand on it somewhat shyly.

Qi Wanqiu pulled her up and made her sit down.

"Sit tight, we're leaving."

The horses were left behind by the bandits; there weren't many, just two.

"Brother Qi, what will we do now that you're gone?"

"I have to go home. I need to go to the military camp to talk about this. I don't have time to play with you guys."

"Okay, okay, I know you're busy, we'll go see our sister together sometime."

These words almost startled Qi Wanqiu off her horse.

These people, really, all of them have their eyes on her brother.

I'm really convinced.

"What do you mean 'our sister'? That's my sister! Give up! Let's go."

Hold the reins tight, protect the people, and let's go.

All the remaining people could see was her disappearing figure and the dust kicked up by the horse's hooves.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy doesn't usually hang out with us, and we've never seen him like any girls. Do you think he might be...?"

"How could that be? I think he avoids men more than women. How could that be? Don't overthink it, there's probably some other reason! What's wrong? Your sister hasn't given up yet!"

The man looked ahead and sighed.

"If I had given up, I wouldn't have come today. I don't understand what's so good about this guy; so many girls like him."

The other one was also somewhat unconvinced.

"That's right, we're just as good! Why aren't we as popular as him?"

......

Qi Wanqiu had no idea that she had once again aroused the envy and jealousy of her brothers.

After she delivered the Third Princess to her destination, she originally intended to stay with her and the others.

The third princess didn't want her to stay, so she had to ride away.

The Third Princess watched that person's retreating figure, and she was actually moved.

She didn't feel any discomfort when she was riding the horse.

Young Master Qi respected women very much and protected them well.

Such a wonderful person, which woman will he marry in the future?
She was somewhat looking forward to it!

After returning home, Qi Wanqiu would unconsciously think of the injured eyes of the little deer-spotted boy whenever she did anything.

Looking at her with his eyes wet and full of survival instinct, she felt a tickle in her heart. "Deputy General Qi, what are you doing! Your face is all red."

Qi Wanqiu couldn't help but blush when she thought of that look and that face.

He touched his head and said, "No, something's wrong, don't ask."

"Oh my, you're getting shy. Which young lady is it that you, a busy man, would take a fancy to?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Wanqiu instantly felt as if she had been doused with cold water.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's continue our cultivation in a bit."

The deputy general he was chatting with looked completely bewildered.

"Why are you getting angry all of a sudden? Your temper changes faster than a donkey's!"

And so, Qi Wanqiu fell in love with the Third Princess, who disguised herself as a man to visit the Empress Dowager.

Qi Wanqiu: Is that young master the Third Princess?
Third Princess: Did he already like me back then?
[A hero rescuing a damsel in distress! Sure, sure, but Qi Wanqiu and the Third Princess are both girls, how can they be together? Do you think the Emperor would approve?]

The system chuckled slyly and said, "Next, we'll talk about the Third Princess."

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess nervously crushed the cup in her hand.

The eldest princess was just about to tease her younger sister when she saw this scene.

"Third Princess, are you alright?"

The third princess calmly took the handkerchief, wiped the water stains from her hands, and said, "It's alright, elder sister."

The eldest princess no longer recognized her younger sister.

I should say that I have never known her.

Eldest Princess: Why has my third sister suddenly changed? She's become somewhat like Father Emperor. Waaaaah!

Although she thought this way, as the eldest princess of the royal family, Long Xiyu had to maintain the demeanor that a princess should have.

Stand upright with a calm gaze and eyes fixed straight ahead.

The third princess knew that she would either regain her original identity or be secretly executed by her father, the emperor.

Fang Lingchu also noticed the scene of the Third Princess crushing the cup with her bare hands.

[Guagua, why do I feel like there's murderous intent in the Third Princess's eyes when she's looking at me?]

Others: Did the Third Princess harbor murderous intent towards the Princess?
Qi Wanqiu: Could there be something wrong with his identity?

Everyone has thought of this problem.

The eldest princess sent someone with her token to fetch her men.

Qi Wanqiu and several other young ladies from official families who were skilled in martial arts slowly moved around Fang Lingchu.

The third princess saw all of this, and she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at anyone.

He was completely unaware that his fist was slightly clenched and his fingernails were digging into his palm.

What are you afraid of? With the Third Princess's martial arts skills, he can't even beat Qi Wanqiu. What's there to be afraid of?

【What you said makes sense. By the way, the Third Princess knows martial arts, but she looks so delicate and frail, how could she possibly know martial arts!】

Others: Yes, I can't tell.

The eldest princess: She didn't even know that her third younger sister knew martial arts.

Why is it impossible? His mother raised him as a girl so that he could survive in the palace!
Then everyone misunderstood and thought he was a girl, and the emperor himself forgot about the matter.

Then he directly became the third princess.

Fang Lingchu was a little confused.

【No, what do you mean? I don't quite understand!】

It couldn't be what she meant, could it?

The others had also figured it out, and they were all incredibly surprised.

I quickly started chatting with people around me to distract them, which prevented them from screaming.

How did they overhear royal secrets again?
Help! It's just a banquet! How did I find out so much?!
[That's right, just what you're thinking. The Third Princess is actually a prince.]

The Third Princess, or rather the Fourth Prince, finally felt relieved.
