When the King of Wu entered the palace, the Grand Shaman was already kneeling on the ground.

The King of Wu knelt down to pay his respects.

After Emperor Kangwu told him to rise, he slowly said, "This man said you asked him to use Gu worms to deal with Chen'an."

The King of Wu's expression changed drastically: "Father, I absolutely did not!"

Emperor Kangwu smiled and said, "Perfect timing. Prince Rui and Chen'an will be here soon, and you can confront them face to face."

The King of Wu nodded: "Your subject has done nothing wrong, and has a clear conscience!"

After a while, Prince Rui and Qi Zhiyu arrived. After exchanging greetings, Qi Zhiyu sat down without any hesitation.

King Wu was already used to Qi Zhiyu's behavior and no longer bothered by it.

Emperor Kangwu said, "Chen'an, the great shaman said that the Gu worm was originally planted on you by the King of Wu."

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow: "Uncle, you've gone too far."

"Even if you're fighting with my father for the crown prince position, you can't harm me."

"The real problem is, you went and hurt my father! What kind of nonsense is it to hurt me?"

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

He silently looked at his eldest son.

The boy actually nodded in agreement: "Fourth brother, Yu'er is right. Why are you involving a child in adults' affairs?"

Emperor Kangwu closed his eyes and thought, "Fine, let the eldest son spoil his wife as he pleases."

Chen An deserves to be pampered like this.

"Your Majesty, I absolutely did not do it," the King of Wu hurriedly waved his hand.

"They must know they're not going to survive, so they're deliberately trying to drive a wedge between us brothers."

"They just want to cause us to fight amongst ourselves!"

Qi Zhiyu rested her chin on her hand, staring at the King of Wu, and asked curiously, "Isn't this considered internal strife?"

"Oh, right, there's no bloodshed yet, it hasn't reached the point of indiscriminate killing of innocent people."

The King of Wu's face darkened.

Can she please shut up?

No one would mistake her for being mute if she didn't speak!

Emperor Kangwu glanced at Qi Zhiyu. This girl was outspoken and said everything.

naughty.

"Your Majesty, I have evidence," the High Priest said.

Emperor Kangwu looked at him: "What evidence?"

The great shaman said, "Inside the embassy, ​​there was a paper package stuck under the bed. Inside was a thumb ring, which was King Wu's personal possession!"

"If I had no dealings with the King of Wu, how could I have obtained this item?"

The King of Wu subconsciously moved his fingers.

A flash of insane hatred crossed the great shaman's eyes.

If he's going to die, it wouldn't be a bad deal to drag a prince down with him!

Emperor Kangwu raised his hand, and someone immediately went to find him.

Qi Zhiyu waited there bored, while Emperor Kangwu was not idle and chatted with her about everyday matters.

The two of them actually started discussing their favorite dishes, and they talked about it quite thoroughly.

Prince Rui would say a few words from time to time.

The three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, looked like an ordinary family, creating a particularly warm and loving atmosphere.

The King of Wu stood aside, staring blankly. He had never spoken to his father like this before.

His father had never treated him like this before.

He and his father had always been ruler and subject; he had never experienced any fatherly or familial affection.

All the jealousy in the King of Wu's heart turned into intense hatred.

Isn't Prince Rui the Emperor's favorite?

Then he would have to suppress Prince Rui and become the next emperor.

He wanted to show his father that his most beloved son was a good-for-nothing!

On the contrary, he is the one who is truly capable!

"Your Majesty." Soon, the search team returned and presented a thumb ring.

Upon seeing the thumb ring, the high shaman exclaimed excitedly, "Your Majesty, this is the thumb ring worn by the King of Wu!"

"I took it when he wasn't looking."

"This thumb ring..." Emperor Kangwu frowned as he looked at it.

Prince Rui immediately replied, "It belongs to your son."

The great shaman was stunned. How could this be?

This was clearly something he stole from the King of Wu's study.

This is so that I can have a way out.

In case the King of Wu turns his back on him, he can use this to threaten the King of Wu.

But how did this thumb ring become Prince Rui's?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck the great shaman, and he understood.

He had a backup plan, and so did the King of Wu.

If things don't go as planned, the King of Wu is trying to frame the King of Rui!

No wonder, even though he was imprisoned, the King of Wu, who was cooperating with him, never took any action against him.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

The high shaman gave King Wu a deep look, then said, "King Rui, I have failed in my duties and have let you down!"

After saying that, he suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the wall.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled, and the teacup in her hand flew out, hitting the great shaman's leg hard.

The great shaman who was rushing forward fell to the ground with a thud.

Qi Zhiyu yawned boredly: "Trying to commit suicide in front of me? What are you thinking?"

The high priest was immediately seized and taken into custody by the guards.

The King of Wu stared at the high shaman in shock: "Explain yourself! Who are you colluding with?"

The great shaman sneered, "King Wu, can't you see clearly?"

"The reason you were infected with Gu worms was all arranged by Prince Rui. I had already reached a cooperation agreement with Prince Rui long ago."

"Only by getting rid of you can he become the crown prince!"

"I just didn't expect that Princess Chen'an would be so capable as to transfer the Gu worms."

"Even so, she deliberately shifted the blame to the Duke of Wei. The Duke of Wei is one of your men, isn't he?"

King Wu seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He staggered and looked at King Rui with a pale face.

"Brother..." His voice trembled, like a child abandoned in the wind and rain, pitiful and helpless.

"I've had my thumb ring for a while now," Prince Rui said calmly, offering no further explanation.

The King of Wu nodded as if resigned to his fate: "I believe whatever my royal brother says."

"Uncle is wise indeed," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"He just wants to incite us to fight among ourselves after his own tribe was wiped out."

"It's a pity we're all smart enough not to fall for his tricks."

"Alright, drag this guy out and chop him up."

The King of Wu was stunned.

That's it?

This isn't right!

This was completely different from what he had expected.

He knew the shaman was a cunning man, so he deliberately showed off the thumb ring in front of him to attract the shaman's attention.

Give the great shaman more time to steal the ring.

He had anticipated that in the end, the Great Witch would fight to the death, disregarding everything, as long as they could cause internal strife.

Therefore, the great shaman knew that the thumb ring belonged to Prince Rui, and casually dragged Prince Rui into the mess; everything was under his control.

But... what's with the reactions of Prince Rui and Qi Zhiyu?

They won't explain?

Aren't they going to produce evidence to prove their innocence?

Prince Rui strode over and grabbed Prince Wu's hand: "Fourth brother, I knew it, we brothers are very close. You will definitely believe me."

King of Wu: "..."

He really didn't want to believe it.

But can he say that?

Absolutely not!

"Your Majesty, I naturally trust you. These foreigners are only trying to sow discord!" King Wu's sincerity was evident, as if they were truly close brothers.

"Yes, that's why I don't believe he'll cooperate with you!" Prince Rui said firmly.

"The Siyun tribe is indeed harboring malicious intentions; they deserve to die!"

King of Wu: "...My brother is absolutely right!"

He's been planning all this time... and it's all for nothing?
