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

Upon hearing the name, an eerie silence fell over the hall.

Everyone looked at each other.

Princess Chen'an?

"Bullshit!" Prince Rui shouted, his face red and neck thick with anger.

"Father!" Prince Rui cried out and knelt down with a thud.

"Chen An has only been back for a short time. How could she be a spy?"

"My poor daughter has suffered for over ten years. I haven't even had a chance to properly make it up to her, and now someone wants to kill her!"

"Father..." Prince Rui's tears flowed silently. "Chen'an is just a weak woman, how could she become a thorn in someone else's side?"

Civil and military officials: "..."

Did Prince Rui confirm that Princess Chen'an was a weak woman?

Doesn't he fear being struck by lightning for saying that?

"The root of the problem lies with your son," Prince Rui said with a bitter laugh. "I beg Your Majesty to demote your son to a commoner."

"Your subject only needs a few acres of land to support his family."

"It is better to live a mediocre and impoverished life than to be a stumbling block for others in the capital, where I do not know when my family will be eliminated."

Emperor Kangwu stared intently at Prince Rui, leaning forward and clenching his teeth.

The veins on his clenched fists bulged.

Anyone could see that Emperor Kangwu was truly enraged.

"You say that Princess Chen'an is a spy you planted in the capital, do you have any evidence?" Emperor Kangwu's voice was only a few decibels lower than usual, without the slightest hint of anger.

But all the officials in the court felt a chill run down their spines.

Is this because she's not angry?

This is clearly the calm before the storm.

Your Majesty... could erupt at any moment.

"Your Majesty, don't you find it strange that Princess Chen'an possesses such excellent martial arts skills?" the envoy asked back.

"Furthermore, her courage is unlike that of an ordinary village girl."

"Actually, back then, people from our tribe accidentally passed by the village where Princess Chen'an grew up and learned about this secret."

"At that time, Princess Chen'an was still an infant in swaddling clothes."

"We switched the children so we could have a backup plan."

Emperor Kangwu chuckled softly: "Changed?"

"How can they look so alike?"

"Your tribe is quite capable; you can tell what a baby will look like when it grows up."

"Tell me, for whom did you frame Chen An?"

Emperor Kangwu's gaze turned cold, and the powerful oppressive aura of an emperor crashed down upon him like a monstrous wave.

Even with his arrogance, the envoy couldn't help but stagger, his face turning pale and his heart pounding wildly.

The high priest frowned: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can call Princess Chen'an over."

"We can confront each other face to face."

"She is from our Siyun tribe, so I naturally have ways to prove it."

Emperor Kangwu merely stared at him coldly, without saying a word.

But his overwhelming rage made the great shaman nervously swallow hard.

These days, they can be described as extremely arrogant in the capital.

However, Emperor Kangwu did nothing, and they thought he was just a coward.

Only now does the great shaman realize his mistake.

The man before me is not a good-for-nothing, but a true emperor who can decide life and death with a single thought.

"Your Majesty, we are doing this for the good of both sides," the High Priest managed to say, trying to explain.

"Besides, we wouldn't do this without a reason."

Emperor Kangwu sneered, leaned back slightly, and sat leisurely on the dragon throne.

However, it was precisely this relaxed attitude that made the people of the Siyun tribe even more tense and fearful.

They always felt like there was a sword hanging over their heads, and they didn't know when it would fall and take their lives!

"Father," the Prince of Wu stepped forward and bowed, "Now that this has happened, let Chen'an come here."

"It's better to clarify this suspicion than to be criticized later."

"Moreover..." King Wu smiled bitterly, "I do not wish to bear this fabricated charge."

"I don't want anyone to suspect that I was the mastermind behind all of this."

Targeting Chen'an is tantamount to targeting Prince Rui.

Now, the only one most likely to target Prince Rui is naturally him.

He deliberately created such an obvious flaw so that when the Great Shaman "exposed" Qi Zhiyu's identity, he could do so legitimately.

The high priest had already made preparations; as long as Qi Zhiyu came, then... she wouldn't be able to leave alive.

Emperor Kangwu's gaze swept over the face of the King of Wu.

The King of Wu's heart skipped a beat.

"Elder, let Chen'an enter the palace." After Emperor Kangwu finished speaking, he frowned in disdain.

"Wipe away your tears for me!"

"What kind of behavior is it for a prince to be crying like this?"

"With me, your imperial grandfather, around, do you really think Chen'an will be bullied?"

King Wu gritted his teeth and forcefully suppressed the anger rising in his heart.

Father hasn't even gotten the full story yet, and he's already protecting him?

What if Chen An really has a problem?

Does Father really trust Chen'an that much?

No...that's not it.

The person the Emperor truly trusts is Prince Rui!

As expected, Prince Rui was the emperor's most beloved child.

Then what is he anyway?

The flames of jealousy ignited in the heart of the King of Wu, spreading to every part of his body, causing him excruciating pain in every inch of his flesh!

Prince Rui wiped away his tears before standing up: "Father, Chen'an is not at home."

"Hmm?" Emperor Kangwu asked in surprise, "Not here?"

"Yes." Prince Rui nodded. "He's been gone for several days now, and he said he'd be back in the next couple of days."

"However, Chen'an was not home before I entered the palace."

The great shaman laughed: "Perhaps he knew his identity was about to be exposed, so he ran away in advance."

Prince Rui was furious: "Who would deliberately expose their informants?"

"Your behavior is highly unusual!"

"Your Highness, you don't understand our Siyun tribe," the Great Shaman said arrogantly.

"Now that we have ceased hostilities and formed an alliance, we will be frank about everything."

"We are completely open with our allies."

"That's just how we are!"

"This is utterly absurd!" Prince Rui sneered.

The great shaman looked at Prince Rui with a half-smile: "Prince Rui, could it be that Princess Chen'an is actually in Prince Rui's residence, but you also know about her unusual behavior?"

"If she has any problems, you, as a prince, will also be implicated."

"So that's why you deliberately said she wasn't home."

"Your Majesty should send someone to Prince Rui's residence to check, lest you be deceived," the high priest said to Emperor Kangwu.

"Your Majesty, in order to clear Chen'an of suspicion, we should let her come to the palace," the Prince of Wu also advised.

Prince Rui frowned, about to speak, when he heard a sneer.

"No need to invite me, I, the princess, have arrived!"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned to look at the entrance of the main hall.

Princess Chen'an, dressed in a smart outfit and carrying a large bundle on her back, walked in calmly.

It was clear that she had traveled for a long time.

Because the outfit was covered in dust.

But she was radiant and showed no signs of fatigue.

Everyone was puzzled. What was going on?
