Prince Rui's eyes were glistening with tears, moved by the brotherly affection between them.

"Father, this foreigner is trying to sow discord between us brothers. Little does he know the depth of our brotherly bond; we will not let him succeed!"

Prince Rui excitedly waved his arm, his proud chin slightly raised.

Anyone with eyes could see that he was certain that the brothers were inseparable and would never be swayed by anyone.

Suspicion?

No, there wasn't even the slightest suspicion between the brothers.

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

King of Wu: "..."

Qi Zhiyu watched her father's performance with great interest.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if her father were in her world, he would definitely have a place in the high position of the demon realm!

"Guards, take the great shaman away!" Prince Rui shouted sternly.

"It was publicly announced that the high priest had attempted to slander the King of Wu, but His Majesty discovered his scheme and beheaded him!"

The great shaman suddenly looked up, staring at King Rui in disbelief.

How could there be such shameless people in the world?

The King of Wu gritted his teeth in anger: "Brother, he just slandered you too."

Why is it that when making public announcements, only he is mentioned?

What about Prince Rui himself?

King Rui grasped King Wu's hands and stared intently at him: "Don't you also disbelieve the great shaman's nonsense?"

"...Of course." The King of Wu gritted his teeth, speaking with reluctance.

Prince Rui shook Prince Wu's hands vigorously: "Good brother, I knew you weren't that kind of fool."

"How could you be so easily deceived by the high shaman of the Siyun tribe?"

Similarly, I don't believe a single word of his slander against you!

After speaking earnestly, Prince Rui sighed, "However, this person falsely accused you at the execution ground; we must give the people an explanation!"

"Father has investigated and found that what he said was completely unfounded."

"We believe you are innocent, and we will stand with the people to clear your name. We will absolutely not allow anyone to falsely smear you!"

"Fourth brother, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

The King of Wu's lips moved; he had countless things he wanted to say, but in the end, he could only utter two angry words: "No."

What could he say?

If we investigate Prince Rui, isn't he also a suspect?

The final investigation yielded insufficient evidence, and he had no doubt that Qi Zhiyu and Prince Rui would drag him down with them.

All his plans were ruined, and he even had to force a smile and agree: "This person is truly despicable! How dare he instigate like this."

"Killing him would be too lenient for him."

King Rui patted King Wu on the shoulder, a friendly gesture: "He slandered you, and I am also indignant."

"But if we were to use the torture of slow slicing on him, it would make us seem petty."

"I can't help you get revenge, I really..."

As he spoke, King Rui bowed to King Wu, saying, "I am ashamed before you."

The King of Wu quickly returned the greeting: "Your Majesty is too kind; I am unworthy of such praise!"

The great shaman could only watch helplessly as the brothers, Prince Rui and Prince Wu, were dragged away.

Even after he was dragged out of the palace, he still couldn't understand what had happened.

"These foreigners are indeed wolves in sheep's clothing! They are utterly despicable!" Prince Rui lamented in the palace.

What could the King of Wu do?

All we can do is echo their sentiments out of shared hatred.

"Fortunately, Yu'er wiped out the entire Siyun tribe!" Prince Rui looked at Qi Zhiyu with satisfaction.

"Otherwise, the Siyun tribe will surely become a great threat in the future!"

Emperor Kangwu had no objection to this point.

As for the deep brotherhood between the eldest and fourth brothers... he could only chuckle twice.

The boss's shamelessness is getting more and more infuriating these days.

The matter of the high shaman of the Siyun tribe slandering the two princes came to a close, and the group left the palace.

Prince Rui played with the thumb ring in his hand and smiled, "It's fortunate that this great shaman was here, otherwise I would never have gotten my lost thumb ring back."

"Fourth brother, you said this great shaman is still somewhat useful."

King Wu coldly stared at Prince Rui. Since they were alone, he lowered his voice and said, "Prince Rui, impressive!"

Prince Rui smiled slightly, his smile as warm and gentle as a spring breeze: "Fourth brother, you... are still young."

The King of Wu's face darkened, and he sneered through gritted teeth, "You're quite pleased with yourself?"

Prince Rui casually placed his hands in his sleeves in front of him: "From childhood, my father held me on his lap and taught me the ways of an emperor."

The King of Wu's eyes flickered, a surge of jealousy rising within him.

"Every teacher was personally selected by my father, and they ask me about my studies three times a day," Prince Rui said casually.

King Wu clenched his fists tightly, glaring fiercely at King Rui, wishing he could pounce on him and devour him whole.

Prince Rui chuckled and said, "The Imperial Seal is nothing more than the tool I used to crack walnuts when I was a child."

The King of Wu's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a demon.

Prince Rui leaned forward slightly and asked Prince Wu curiously, "Fourth brother, what makes you think you can compete with me?"

After saying that, he chuckled and reached out to pat the King of Wu on the shoulder.

A waiter in the distance saw this and assumed that the brothers were just having a good relationship and chatting happily.

Little did he know that the King of Wu felt extremely humiliated by the King of Rui's gentle pat!

However, being in the palace, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as Prince Rui and Qi Zhiyu drove away.

His teeth were grinding together, and a faint taste of blood filled his mouth: "Prince Rui..."

These two short words convey a deep-seated, relentless hatred that is unforgettable and will never be forgotten!

Qi Zhiyu got into the carriage with Prince Rui, and she chuckled, "Father, you really are a villainous devil."

Prince Rui casually twirled the thumb ring he had found again on his finger: "From childhood, your imperial grandfather taught me that emperors are not good people."

"A good person can't be an emperor."

"To be an emperor, one must be more wicked than all the wicked people!"

With so many demons and monsters below, how can you identify and control them if you don't know those despicable methods?

Besides their own strength, emperors are also adept at manipulating people's hearts and weighing pros and cons.

Sometimes, in certain situations, it is necessary to sacrifice some good people.

For the sake of the greater good, we must not be soft-hearted.

"Father, have you ever thought about how history will record your story? How will future generations evaluate you?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

Prince Rui thought about it seriously for a moment, then looked at Qi Zhiyu: "If future generations speak well of me, can I come back to life?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and gave him a thumbs up: "Dad, I like you."

It suits her taste.

Prince Rui clutched his heart, looking at his daughter with heartbreaking sorrow: "Yu'er, did you only just begin to like your father?"

"My father's heart is breaking."

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow. So they're putting on an act?

"Sigh... I need to go back and tell Mother that Father, besides Mother, you still care whether other women like you."

Prince Rui's expression changed: "You child, how could you make up such nonsense?"

"Besides, how could your mother not believe me?"

Qi Zhiyu, resting her chin on her hand, asked defiantly, "Father, guess whether Mother believes you or me?"

Prince Rui: "..."

"Yu'er... well, actually, we don't have any real conflict, do we?"

In his wife's heart, his daughter held a higher position than he did...

Prince Rui, you're so frustrated!
