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

The princess was so frightened that she staggered back two steps, but ultimately lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"No, no..." The eldest princess shook her head frantically, unwilling to admit it.

"Not what?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously. "Princess, you grew up in the palace."

"No matter how much your grandfather protected you, you're a grandmother now."

"Are you really so naive that you know nothing about the world?"

The princess avoided eye contact, stubbornly retorting, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Whether you know it or not is unimportant," Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"I know you're a selfish, cold-blooded, and profit-driven guy, that's enough."

"How dare you!" the princess shouted sternly.

How dare Qi Zhiyu humiliate her like this?

"What? Still not admitting it?" Qi Zhiyu glared at her coldly. "If the evidence wasn't sufficient, Grandfather wouldn't have ordered your consort's arrest."

The eldest princess looked at Emperor Kangwu pitifully: "Brother, I've been deceived!"

"It has nothing to do with me."

Emperor Kangwu simply stared at the eldest princess with a blank expression.

From obtaining the evidence to issuing the order, there wasn't a trace of anger on his face.

But the calmer he appeared, the more flustered the princess became.

She always felt as if she were standing on the edge of a cliff, with loose stones constantly rolling down her feet.

The only thing separating them from falling into that bottomless abyss was a gust of wind that could come at any moment.

"Your Majesty, it was all the Imperial Son-in-Law who did it behind my back. I knew nothing about it!" The Princess crawled a few steps and grabbed the hem of Emperor Kangwu's dragon robe.

Emperor Kangwu looked down at the eldest princess, whose head was tilted back and whose face was streaked with tears: "Wanning, how did you end up like this?"

The eldest princess froze, her lips twitching involuntarily, and stammered, "Your Majesty, what...what do you mean by this?"

Emperor Kangwu didn't want to speak; he was too disappointed.

"Grandfather is exhausted," Qi Zhiyu said, directly speaking for Emperor Kangwu. "How can you be so hypocritical, given how he's spoiled you since you were a child?"

"Who's being hypocritical?" The eldest princess never had a good temper when dealing with Qi Zhiyu!

They're all Qi Zhiyu!

If it weren't for Qi Zhiyu, how could she have gotten into this mess?

Everything was fine at first!

"My father is no longer the crown prince; the King of Wu has ascended the throne," Qi Zhiyu stated the facts.

"Your later close relationship with the King of Wu was certainly influenced by your husband's influence, but can you honestly say that you weren't also opportunistic?"

"The King of Wu was the crown prince at the time; he was the future emperor."

"If you cultivate a good relationship with the King of Wu, you can continue to enjoy your wealth and honor."

"If you continue to have a good relationship with my father, then you will offend the King of Wu. You are afraid of being implicated, so naturally you will turn to the King of Wu."

The eldest princess continued to deny it: "You're utterly absurd!"

"Prince Rui has been living a secluded life for many years and has not had much contact with me."

"Isn't it natural for feelings to fade?"

Qi Zhiyu completely ignored the princess's explanation: "I can only say that although you seem to have been raised to be innocent and naive, in reality, you are the most insidious."

"You enjoyed the benefits. In the end, you pinned all the blame on your husband."

"He's the one who drove you away from my father and made you close to the King of Wu. He's the one who embezzled, broke the law, and murdered you for money. And you're the most innocent one, you know nothing."

"You are such an innocent and beautiful flower in the human world!"

"You're talking nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense!" the princess retorted loudly, her face flushed and her neck bulging, veins popping out, whether from anxiety or something else.

The Emperor Kangwu looked at that ferocious appearance with utter disgust.

"Growing up in the palace since childhood, not to mention that the struggle for the throne was most intense at that time, you were exposed to it all. Are you really so naive that you don't understand anything?" Qi Zhiyu looked at the eldest princess with sarcasm.

"You're just more cunning than others, utilizing every available resource. Even..."

Qi Zhiyu's eyes turned cold: "The more sincere someone is towards you, the more you take advantage of them!"

To call you worse than an animal is an insult to animals!

The princess's facade of naivety was brutally torn away, enraging her: "Qi Zhiyu!"

"Take him away," Emperor Kangwu ordered calmly.

The nanny rushed over and grabbed the princess.

"Your Majesty, no, that's not how it is! Don't listen to Qi Zhiyu's nonsense!" The princess couldn't break free at all and could only shout loudly under the restraint of the nanny.

"Brother, don't you believe me? I'm your sister!"

The eldest princess tried to bring up their years-long relationship: "You've always loved me the most, haven't you forgotten?"

Emperor Kangwu stared intently at the eldest princess.

That gaze was so calm.

However, this made the eldest princess feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but avoid Emperor Kangwu's gaze.

Because she always felt that her brother's eyes were not calm, but rather... a bottomless abyss, an abyss that could devour everything.

She's scared!

She was afraid of falling in and being smashed to pieces!

Emperor Kangwu chuckled softly, his tone gentle, but his words instantly froze the Princess's blood: "Wanning, do you think I... am stupid?"

The eldest princess cautiously glanced at Emperor Kangwu, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something.

But under Emperor Kangwu's stern gaze, she couldn't utter a single word.

The eldest princess was dragged away by the nanny.

Emperor Kangwu closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, the gloom in his eyes had completely dissipated.

"Summon the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to the palace to see me!"

After giving his instructions, Emperor Kangwu turned and left.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly; her imperial grandfather was quite something.

So clear-headed!

Emperor Kangwu returned directly to the palace, while Qi Zhiyu went to find her mother.

Inside the banquet hall, the women were still waiting anxiously.

The prince consort was just taken away by the Imperial Guards who rushed in, and they didn't even dare to ask about it.

They were hoping the people outside would leave so they could go home quickly.

They can go back and discuss it with their husbands.

As Qi Zhiyu stepped into the house, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She completely ignored her and smiled at Princess Rui, saying, "Mother, let's go back."

"Good." Princess Rui's heart finally settled down upon seeing her daughter safe and sound.

Yu'er took His Majesty there, so nothing should have happened.

Even if something happens, it's someone else's problem.

Princess Rui and Qi Zhiyu were about to leave when someone inconsiderately blocked their way.

"Princess, what exactly happened? Shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?" Zheng Mingxuan questioned sternly.

"After all, it all started because of you."

Her confident and righteous demeanor successfully made Qi Zhiyu laugh.

Just how much does the Heavenly Dao hate their family here?

Make her older brother fall in love with this thing!

"Princess, are you not speaking because you feel guilty? You... Ah!" Zheng Mingxuan's words were replaced by a scream.

The women around her stared in disbelief as Qi Zhiyu gracefully withdrew her foot.
