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

Just when the King of Wu was full of confidence and ready to make a big splash, he learned some news that almost made him vomit blood.

"What? Father Emperor bestowed a reward upon Prince Rui's residence?" Prince Wu glared at the subordinate who came to report the news, his eyes blazing with fury.

The subordinate replied nervously, "Yes."

The King of Wu, enraged, laughed coldly: "Father, you are truly too biased!"

An imperial edict came to rebuke him.

Turning around, they gave so many rewards to Prince Rui!

What does Father mean by this?

He wanted to tell the world that he was completely wrong in this matter, and that Prince Rui had been wronged.

What will the civil and military officials think of him?

How do people view him?

Prince Rui and his gang are going to laugh at him to death, aren't they?

King Wu was so angry that he smashed things in his study.

Prince Rui and his men had no time to laugh at King Wu; they were analyzing the current situation.

"Does Marquis Weiyuan have a powerful backer?" Qi Zhiyu asked. "Consort De?"

Consort De is the aunt of the current Marquis of Weiyuan.

Qi Jingchen said, "It's mainly the son of Marquis Weiyuan, who is currently at the border."

"The fighting is intense over there."

"His son... is he quite good at fighting?" Qi Zhiyu guessed.

Qi Jingchen nodded.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly: "The Crown Prince is quite capable, and those who support him are all extraordinary."

"Moreover... Old Madam Wei is no pushover either," Princess Rui said.

"She may seem to ignore the affairs of the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence, but in fact, she supports them."

Qi Zhiyu understood: "Mother is right."

"If she truly disapproved of what Tang Jingrou and the others were doing, she would have stopped them long ago. Why wait until now?"

"When the King of Wu ascended the throne, the Marquis of Weiyuan's family also benefited."

When faced with sufficient benefits, right or wrong methods become insignificant.

"Marquis Weiyuan still holds military power, so it won't be easy to deal with him directly," Prince Rui sighed.

"Then let's take it slow." Qi Zhiyu wasn't in a hurry.

"Shall we divide the work?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Prince Rui raised an eyebrow: "How should the tasks be divided?"

"Father should demonstrate his abilities and gain the people's approval," Qi Zhiyu said, expressing her thoughts.

Prince Rui looked at his daughter with approval.

Yu'er's idea coincided with his.

The court officials supported the King of Wu because of their vested interests, but the most important thing was still the will of the people.

"Mother, let people continue to know how kind and generous my father is." Qi Zhiyu looked at her mother and smiled knowingly.

She thought her mother was just kind, but after what happened in the palace, she realized she was wrong.

There's a deeper meaning behind her mother's kindness.

During her conversations with her mother these days, she learned that her mother often gives alms and helps people.

Princess Rui asked somewhat nervously, "Yu'er, do you think your mother... is too scheming?"

Actually, she wanted to ask her husband this question as well.

In the palace, besides being furious, she also wanted to confront her husband.

She wasn't some clueless housewife.

The reason I didn't say this before is because Prince Rui would act recklessly whenever he met Tang Jingrou.

Some time ago, she understood why her husband acted that way, but she always felt there was something she didn't know.

However, none of that matters.

All she needs to know is that her husband is now normal, values ​​her, and cherishes their family.

"Isn't what Mother makes always the best choice?" Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement.

"Before marriage, one should be patient and protect oneself."

"After she got married, she kept making a good impression on her father."

Princess Rui said, "My intentions in doing those things were not pure."

"So what?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled. "The people have indeed benefited, and Mother has indeed helped many people."

"Judging by intention, not by deeds, for if you judge by deeds, there are no filial sons in poor families; judging by deeds, not by intention, for if you judge by intention, there are no perfect people in the world."

"Yu'er is right." Prince Rui looked at Princess Rui. "You've had a lot of trouble over the years."

He was controlled by something strange, but she continued to protect the family and his reputation.

Princess Rui lowered her head and smiled gently, her heart filled with warmth.

"Big brother... I will help you recover as soon as possible, and then we'll catch them off guard," Qi Zhiyu said to Qi Jingchen.

"As for Second Brother, continue to associate with those collateral branches and illegitimate children. If there's a chance, he can replace those aristocratic scions who are on good terms with the King of Wu!" Qi Zhiyu's words instantly froze Qi Jingxi's carefree smile on his face.

"Huh?" Qi Jingxi was stunned.

His sister, his sister...

Qi Jingchen couldn't help but laugh: "You think my sister can't see through your disguise?"

Qi Jingxi scratched his head: "No... sis, how did you figure that out?"

Qi Zhiyu asked curiously, "Can innocent children be raised in the palace?"

"Shouldn't someone like that... have died long ago?"

Qi Jingxi choked, realizing how true that made sense and that she couldn't refute it.

"Now that we've all assigned tasks, sis, which area are you in charge of?" Qi Jingxi asked curiously.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "I'll play support."

"Where we are needed, we will go."

Qi Jingchen clapped his hands: "My sister is a jack-of-all-trades."

Qi Zhiyu smiled but remained silent.

If she could, she really wanted to kill all of King Wu's men.

But if that happens... then something really bad will happen.

War broke out everywhere, and everything was in chaos.

She has the power to control it now.

Therefore, we have no choice but to proceed gradually.

"Yu'er, what's the deal with that hairpin?" Princess Rui asked curiously.

"Mother, you didn't know about the hairpin?" Qi Jingxi was taken aback. "Wasn't this something you and my sister planned together?"

Princess Rui shook her head: "No."

"Of course there was no discussion," Qi Zhiyu said. "If we had discussed it, Mother's reaction at the time would have been insincere, and it would have been easy for others to see through the deception."

"Then how did you know about the hairpin?" Qi Jingxi asked, puzzled.

"I found out from chatting with my mother." Qi Zhiyu's words shocked Princess Rui.

"I just mentioned casually that Tang Jingrou took quite a few of my things," Princess Rui recalled. "You did ask me what those things were."

"Was that hairpin really given by Tang Jingrou to Qi Pingle's mother?"

Qi Zhiyu shook her head and chuckled, "Of course not."

"I just went to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence and found that representative item."

Qi Jingxi was a little confused: "Wait a minute, I'm a bit disoriented."

"How do you know that Tang Jingrou keeps Mother's things hidden away and doesn't use them usually? And how come Qi Pingle's own mother listens to you?"

Qi Zhiyu said matter-of-factly, "Tang Jingrou took those things from Niang Niang to disgust Niang. She naturally wouldn't use them; she would snatch them away and then have Uncle Jingwen buy her better ones."

"As for Qi Pingle's biological mother, just tell her that Tang Jingrou is going to kick Qi Pingle out."

"She wanted her family to continue living a life of luxury, so she naturally knew what to do with something that could threaten Tang Jingrou."

Qi Jingxi asked again, "What if something goes wrong and it doesn't go according to your plan?"

Qi Zhiyu asked curiously, "Second Brother, you don't think I only have one plan, do you?"

"Besides, isn't adaptability a basic skill?"

Qi Jingxi: "..."

I'm sorry, he was just too naive!
