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

"Qi Zhiyu, what are you doing?" Tang Jingrou shouted angrily, struggling fiercely.

However, she didn't know how Qi Zhiyu had tied her up.

The more she struggled, the tighter the strips of cloth became, causing her to cry out in pain, "It hurts! It hurts!"

Qi Zhiyu had no concept of chivalry whatsoever. He simply mounted his horse, pulled on the other end of the cloth strip in his hand, and urged the horse forward.

"Hey..." Tang Jingrou was pulled and stumbled, and had no choice but to run after her.

"Help! Help me!"

Her men quickly chased after her, trying to stop Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu flicked her riding whip, and with a few quick snaps, she knocked those men to the ground.

Then, Qi Zhiyu kicked the horse's belly, and the tall horse galloped up, forcing Tang Jingrou to chase after it.

The onlookers were all in an uproar.

Has the young lady who was just found by the Prince Rui's mansion gone mad?

They tied up a maid from the Marquis's mansion in the street and also tied up the Marquis's wife, dragging her behind a horse.

The reputation of the Marquis of Weiyuan has been completely shattered.

At that time, wouldn't the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion and the Prince Rui's mansion become mortal enemies?

This is going to be interesting!

Everyone excitedly jogged to keep up, afraid that if they were too slow, they wouldn't be able to get a good spot.

Princess Rui, terrified, gripped her son's hand tightly, gritting her teeth, "Come on, change your clothes, let's go to the palace to meet the Emperor!"

Yu'er took care of everything.

This matter cannot be resolved without His Majesty's intervention.

No matter what, she had to protect Yu'er.

The child was standing up for her, and she would never allow anyone to hurt her child!

Qi Zhiyu rode all the way to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence. Tang Jingrou staggered along, barely managing to stay upright by sheer willpower.

Because she knew that if she fell, that beast Qi Zhiyu would definitely drag her along regardless of whether she lived or died.

If she were dragged along... she is the dignified Lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, how could she face anyone after that?

Even if she hadn't been dragged along, her hair was disheveled, her headdress had fallen off, and her rouge was smeared from running all the way.

Tang Jingrou didn't even need to look in the mirror to imagine how pathetic she looked.

"Qi Zhiyu, let me go..." Tang Jingrou gasped for breath, leaning against the stone lion at the entrance of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.

She needed support; her legs were too weak to stand.

Qi Zhiyu completely ignored them and walked straight towards the gate of the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence.

Raise your foot and kick!

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.

The crowd that had run over to see what was going on couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

This princess from Prince Rui's mansion... she has incredible strength!

"Who dares to cause trouble at the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence?" The guards of the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence rushed out.

The angry guard's expression changed instantly upon seeing who it was.

Why is this jinx here again?

After Qi Zhiyu came last time, the old lady got very angry.

Not only was the Lady of the Marquis severely punished and made to kneel in the ancestral hall, but even the Marquis was given a thorough dressing-down.

"Princess, what's wrong with you...?" The guard quickly put on a smiling face, while also giving the others a meaningful look.

Hurry and inform the old lady!

This guy...they can't handle him!

Qi Zhiyu remained silent, because she knew that the person she was supposed to see was scrambling over to her.

"Qi Zhiyu, what are you doing?" Upon receiving the news, Marquis Weiyuan rushed out and shouted angrily.

Qi Zhiyu smiled and flicked the whip in her hand, lashing it out at Marquis Weiyuan.

Marquis Weiyuan, being a military man by birth, quickly retaliated.

Unfortunately, the whip in Qi Zhiyu's hand seemed to have a mind of its own. Marquis Weiyuan felt a blur before his eyes and a tightening around his waist.

Before he could even react, he was suddenly propelled forward by a powerful force.

He simply can't control it!

Stab it!

The fabric of Marquis Weiyuan's outer garment was torn, and his wrists were tightened as he was bound tightly.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.

Not to mention the common people who came to watch the spectacle, even the guards of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion hadn't understood what was happening before their lord had already been tied up by Qi Zhiyu.

"Qi Zhiyu, let me go!" Marquis Weiyuan struggled to break free.

The cloth binding his hands was exceptionally strong; the more he struggled, the more muscular it became, the strips of cloth digging directly into his flesh.

Qi Zhiyu pulled the strip of cloth out of the gate of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion and leaped onto her horse.

"My Lord!" Tang Jingrou exclaimed in surprise.

She thought that once she arrived at the Marquis's residence, she would be saved.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhiyu even kidnapped the Marquis.

"Qi Zhiyu, you're asking for it! Release us right now!" Tang Jingrou shouted angrily.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, sitting on her horse and looking at Old Madam Wei who had just arrived: "Old Madam, did you hear that?"

"How dare your good daughter-in-law speak to me like that."

Madam Wei felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and almost fainted.

How could her family have married such a jinx?

Tang Jingrou usually seemed quite sensible, but who would have thought... she would act so erratically?

A mere court lady, yet she keeps talking about the death of a princess personally appointed by His Majesty.

What is Tang Jingrou trying to do?

Do you want to take the lives of everyone in the Wei family?

"Madam, I will be waiting for you in the palace," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile to Madam Wei.

Old Madam Wei spoke tremblingly, "Alright, I'll be there shortly."

Qi Zhiyu bowed to Madam Wei from horseback, then kicked the horse's flank, grabbed two strips of cloth, and pulled Marquis Weiyuan and Tang Jingrou straight to the palace.

"Qi Zhiyu, release me!" Marquis Weiyuan roared in anger.

Being dragged behind Qi Zhiyu on horseback to the palace was tantamount to being paraded through the streets.

His dignity, his face... were all trampled underfoot by Qi Zhiyu!

He remembered this humiliation!

Once he's before His Majesty, he'll make Qi Zhiyu pay back a thousandfold!

The news that Marquis Weiyuan and his wife were tied to the back of a horse and dragged along spread like wildfire throughout the capital.

When Qi Zhiyu arrived at the palace gate, she didn't even need to announce her arrival; Emperor Kangwu had already sent someone to wait for her.

Qi Zhiyu dismounted and followed the eunuch into the palace.

Emperor Kangwu summoned her not in the imperial study or a side hall, but in the main hall.

After entering, Qi Zhiyu bowed to Emperor Kangwu, who was seated at the head of the table, and said, "Grandfather."

The Marquis of Weiyuan and his wife knelt down to pay their respects, but because their hands were bound, they looked quite disheveled.

"Untie them," Emperor Kangwu ordered.

The eunuchs came over to try to untie the knot, but found that they didn't know how to untie it at all, so in the end they could only cut the cloth with scissors.

In just this short time, the wrists of the Marquis of Weiyuan and his wife were already bruised and purple, and Tang Jingrou's skin was even chafed and bleeding.

"Your Majesty, please grant me justice!" Marquis Weiyuan kowtowed heavily to the ground, his grief overwhelming.

"Your Majesty, please grant my request." Tang Jingrou also kowtowed.

Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen'an, what's going on?"

"Grandfather, please summon all civil and military officials to the palace. I will explain everything at once," Qi Zhiyu said.

"To save myself from getting entangled in such trivial matters all the time."

Emperor Kangwu immediately issued an edict: "Summon all officials to the palace!"
