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

Qi Zhiyu kicked Zheng Mingxuan into the yard.

Zheng Mingxuan was in so much pain that she clutched her stomach and curled up on the ground, unable to even scream. All that could be seen was her whole body trembling.

The women inside the house watched in disbelief, some even swallowing hard in fear.

Qi Zhiyu is too ruthless!

That kick was aimed at killing him!

"Zheng Mingxuan has committed insubordination; give her thirty strokes of the cane!" Qi Zhiyu ordered.

Zheng Mingxuan suddenly looked up, her pale face filled with anger: "Princess, are you going to hit me?"

Her voice trembled as she asked the question.

I don't know if it's from anger or pain.

Qi Zhiyu didn't care about any of that; she just gave a mocking smile: "What did you just call me?"

As soon as she uttered the title "Princess..." Zheng Mingxuan's cheeks flushed instantly.

She protested, "Princess, I did not mean to offend you."

Qi Zhiyu asked curiously, "Does it matter whether it was intentional or unintentional?"

Zheng Mingxuan choked and looked pleadingly at the women behind Qi Zhiyu.

Those people were either looking at the ground or gazing at the sky; none of them made eye contact with Zheng Mingxuan.

They would never plead for Zheng Mingxuan.

It's not that they're cold-blooded, it's just that Qi Zhiyu is too crazy.

They dared to slap even the eldest princess, so what are they compared to Qi Zhiyu?

Zheng Mingxuan panicked and looked at Princess Rui: "Princess..."

Princess Rui spat at her, "Pah! When you were kicking me when I was down, didn't you remember you knew me?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth..." Princess Rui completely ignored Zheng Mingxuan's explanation.

If it weren't for her daughter's abilities, she would have been ruined by Zheng Mingxuan.

She hated this kind of person to the core!

"Yu'er, let's go." After saying that, Princess Rui instructed the nanny beside her, "Keep a close eye on them, not a single one of them should be spared."

Zheng Mingxuan looked at Princess Rui with a pitiful expression, hoping that she would soften her heart.

Princess Rui didn't even look at her, but simply ordered the nanny, "If she faints halfway... splash her awake and continue."

Each word shattered the hope in Zheng Mingxuan's eyes.

"Your Highness, you can't treat me like this!" Zheng Mingxuan shouted. "Am I wrong for telling the truth?"

Her cries of anguish did nothing to stop Qi Zhiyu and Princess Rui from their steps.

She was pulled up by the nanny and pressed down onto a bench.

Upon seeing this, the women quickly tried to get away.

However, a maidservant stopped them, gave them a slight curtsy, and was very polite, but the words she said sent a chill down their spines.

"Please wait a moment, everyone," the maid relayed with a smile. "My lady said that you are requested to remain until the execution is complete."

The women looked at each other, even though they were furious inside.

This is Qi Zhiyu warning them!

No matter how angry they were, not one of them refuted them.

Their status is incomparable to that of the eldest princess.

With Qi Zhiyu's intervention, the prince consort was arrested, and the princess's current situation is unknown.

Qi Zhiyu, on the other hand, seemed completely unaffected.

Even if they don't know how things are going with the eldest princess, judging from the current situation, it probably isn't going well.

They will still be pragmatic.

When the maid saw that they had stopped moving, she turned around and looked at the old woman waiting to carry out the execution next to Zheng Mingxuan.

The old woman immediately raised the paddle in her hand and struck down hard.

Zheng Mingxuan screamed in agony, cold sweat instantly pouring down her back!

The pain from the board hitting her body was nothing compared to the excruciating pain she felt!

Her self-esteem was shattered in front of everyone, one blow after another.

Qi Zhiyu... she'll fight her to the death!

Qi Zhiyu didn't care what Zheng Mingxuan was thinking; she rode home in a carriage.

Her family is waiting for her.

"How is it? How is it?" Qi Jingxi immediately went to greet them as soon as they came in.

"Did the Princess make things difficult for you?"

The eldest princess has been close to the King of Wu all these years, so this banquet is definitely not going to be anything good.

"That was a bit difficult, but I returned it on the spot," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

Qi Jingxi clapped her hands excitedly: "Why did you return it?"

"Did he scold you, or did he hit you?" he asked, his eyes shining.

He had long disliked the eldest princess.

What an opportunist!

Back when his father was still the crown prince, the eldest princess was incredibly affectionate towards them.

Later, when his father became a prince and the King of Wu ascended the throne, they treated each other like strangers.

That smile was so fake it couldn't be more fake!

Qi Zhiyu sat down, slowly took a sip of water, and casually said, "There will be no more Princess's Residence in the future."

Qi Jingxi was stunned, and asked in confusion, "Sis, what do you mean by this?"

Prince Rui had figured it out, and he looked at his queen in disbelief.

Princess Rui nodded: "The eldest princess has been deposed and exiled to guard the imperial mausoleum, never to return to the capital for the rest of her life."

Qi Jingxi was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground, creating a dent.

Princess Rui looked at her youngest son's foolish appearance and began to try hard to recall.

When she heard Yu'er tell her about this result in the carriage, would she look like this too?

If that's the case... it's a bit embarrassing.

Qi Zhiyu had already finished her cup of tea, but the room remained quiet.

She looked up, puzzled. "Isn't this how it's supposed to be done?"

If someone attacks her, she will naturally crush them instantly.

If it weren't for wanting to reclaim the stolen fortune of his family and prevent chaos in the world... King Wu would have been dead long ago.

"Sis, this is a little scary." It took Qi Jingxi a while to find her voice.

Qi Zhiyu asked in confusion, "I've already been very restrained with this pace."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

Sister, do you want to listen to yourself? Are you even speaking human language?

The eldest princess has been deposed!

Is this... the result of restraint?

What if you don't restrain yourself?

He suddenly shivered. Damn... she's pretty fierce!

"Then, what about the prince consort?" Qi Jingxi asked curiously.

"He's been arrested, and it won't be long before his head rolls." Qi Zhiyu looked at Prince Rui. "It's related to the drowning of civilians back then."

Prince Rui immediately realized: "He was involved?"

"Okay." Qi Zhiyu nodded. "Father, you take care of the rest."

Prince Rui nodded with a smile: "Don't worry."

The son-in-law of a prince consort could also serve as an official in the imperial court.

That kind of thing is definitely not something the prince consort could do on his own; there must be someone else involved.

When the time comes, he'll deal with all those people and then promote his own people to higher positions.

The court, which had always been as impregnable as the King of Wu's fortress, was in a completely different situation once his men arrived.

It was his daughter who opened up this breakthrough for him.

King Rui laughed: "King Wu must be furious."

Wasn't he planning to use this banquet to deal with Yu'er and drag the entire Prince Rui's mansion down with him?

Now, wouldn't this be considered a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead?

"Your Highness, His Majesty summons you to the palace!" A servant rushed over to report.

Prince Rui stood up and smiled slightly.

He wanted to show his good younger brother what he was capable of.

He could relinquish the position of crown prince back then, and he can still take it back now!
