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

Just as Princess Wu brought Qi Rongyao in, a teacup was smashed hard on the ground.

Porcelain shards splashed onto their legs, but Princess Wu didn't seem to react much.

Qi Rongyao was about to cry out in pain when she suddenly realized something and held back.

She's mature and composed now; she's no longer the little girl who can't help her father.

Qi Rongyao pursed her lips and calmly followed Princess Wu inside.

"Your Highness, is the prescription not suitable for your condition?" Princess Wu asked.

If that were the case, they would have an excuse to deal with Qi Zhiyu.

The King of Wu had just smashed a teacup to slightly suppress his anger, but the Queen's words instantly reignited it.

"You'd be better off dead!" King Wu cursed.

Princess Wu's eyes turned red from being scolded. What did she say?

Princess Wu dared not say anything and could only silently swallow her grievances.

Not only that, she also asked gently and virtuously, "What did Chen'an do to offend the Prince?"

King Wu sneered, "The medicine Qi Zhiyu prescribed for me is too effective."

"Very well, I can get out of bed in three days, and I will be fully recovered in less than seven days."

Qi Rongyao was completely dumbfounded.

Is Qi Zhiyu's prescription really that good?

"Is Qi Zhiyu really that kind?" Qi Rongyao questioned indignantly.

"Of course she wasn't that kind-hearted." King Wu's face turned dark with anger at the mention of this.

"After drinking the medicine she prescribed, my internal organs felt like they were being stabbed, and my bones felt like they were being smashed... I was in excruciating pain."

When King Wu thought of what the physician had just said, he wished he could take a knife and chop Qi Zhiyu into mincemeat!

Princess Wu exclaimed in alarm, "Your Highness, we can't drink this medicine!"

"Not going to drink?" A strange, mocking smile appeared on the King of Wu's face.

I don't know who it's mocking.

"If I don't drink it, do you really expect me to rest for a month?" King Wu asked coldly.

"Within a month, that bastard Prince Rui will definitely take over my official duties."

"By then, when I recover, I don't know how much power Prince Rui will have taken from me."

Qi Rongyao didn't understand: "But Father is injured. Can't he rest for a while?"

"How can matters concerning the state and its people be left unattended?" King Wu questioned.

Some things need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Even a moment's delay could result in loss of life and irreversible consequences.

Princess Wu gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Qi Zhiyu is truly despicable."

"She's putting pressure on you, Your Highness."

King Wu gave Queen Wu a deep look, a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "You've misunderstood."

"From the moment Qi Zhiyu came here, her purpose was to torment me."

"Because she knows that I will not relinquish power to allow Prince Rui to exploit loopholes."

"She was absolutely certain I would take this medicine!"

Princess Wu looked at King Wu in astonishment: "Qi Zhiyu... how could she be so vicious?"

The King of Wu sneered, "She has always used open schemes."

If he doesn't use this medicine, he'll either have to delegate power to Prince Rui, or he'll be branded as someone who disregards the country and its people.

He definitely won't choose either of these two.

In the end, they could only follow Qi Zhiyu's advice and drink the medicine to recover quickly.

He understood the whole story, but... he just couldn't break the deadlock.

He not only had to suffer torture, but also lost a set of ruby ​​jewelry bestowed upon him by his father, the emperor.

King Wu suddenly clutched his chest, a trickle of bright red blood running down his lips.

"Your Highness!"

"Father!"

Princess Wu and Qi Rongyao exclaimed in unison.

The physician rushed to examine the patient, but after doing so, he hesitated to speak.

Princess Wu urged, "How is the Prince?"

Under the watchful eyes of Prince Wu and his entourage, the royal physician spoke with difficulty: "Your Highness has suffered internal injuries... Using Princess Chen'an's prescription would be more effective, but..."

"What is it? Tell me quickly!" Qi Rongyao was getting impatient.

While the imperial physician hesitated about how to speak, the Prince of Wu laughed first, but his laughter made Qi Rongyao shudder.

How scary!

Why did she feel like her father was going to eat her alive?

That look...it was terrifying.

Qi Rongyao felt the hairs on her body stand on end.

"The pain will be doubled, won't it?" King Wu's sharp gaze suddenly fell on the royal physician.

The physician was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground, crying out, "Your Highness, spare my life!"

"It has nothing to do with you, get out of here," King Wu said, suppressing his murderous intent.

"Yes." The physician quickly stood up and hurriedly left.

I escaped with my life... How lucky.

"Your Highness..." Princess Wu looked at Prince Wu in surprise.

Do I really have to take the medicine prescribed by Qi Zhiyu?

"Have someone prepare the medicine!" King Wu said through gritted teeth.

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Princess Wu dared not say anything more and hurriedly led Qi Rongyao out.

At this moment, she sensed that the King of Wu was on the verge of exploding.

She dared not provoke the prince.

After Qi Zhiyu returned home, she gave the set of jewelry to Princess Rui.

"You child..." Princess Rui frowned, "Why are you giving this to me? This is good stuff, keep it for yourself."

"Because I want to give it," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

Princess Rui's heart was touched: "Your mother has never given you anything, yet when you get something good, you only think of your mother."

Qi Zhiyu recounted: "My mother arranged thoughtful servants for me, taking good care of my food, clothing, and lodging."

"Even the meals are adjusted to my taste."

This is not something that can be done simply by giving orders to servants.

This was because her mother observed her carefully and kept her in her heart.

"None of those things really matter. The most important thing is... that you chose me without hesitation, between me and Qi Pingle."

No sooner had Qi Zhiyu finished speaking than Princess Rui's tears streamed down her face.

Before Qi Zhiyu could react, her mother had already pulled her into her arms.

"My son..." Princess Rui cried out loudly.

What kind of suffering did this child endure that such an instinctive decision by a mother to choose her own child would have such a profound impact on the child?

How did her son manage to live in the places she couldn't see?

For the past ten years or so, has the child grown up immersed in bile?

Qi Zhiyu blinked twice in confusion. Why was her mother crying?

She didn't understand, she didn't comprehend, but she didn't want to move.

Being held by my mother...it feels so good.

So when Prince Rui returned, he found his queen holding their daughter, sitting on the couch.

He was about to speak when his princess glared at him.

Prince Rui quickly fell silent.

"Father, you're back." Qi Zhiyu rubbed her eyes and got up in Princess Rui's arms.

It was so comfortable holding Mom that I fell asleep.

"It's alright, Yu'er, don't worry about him. Did you sleep well?" Princess Rui rubbed Qi Zhiyu's forehead, afraid that the child would catch a cold after just waking up.

Prince Rui, who didn't need to be bothered: "..."

Was he coming back at the wrong time?
