Emperor Kangwu noticed that the Prince of Wu's expression was off, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you feel that Chen'an's gift wasn't appreciated?"

The King of Wu stared intently at the Go set, his eyes burning with rage that seemed to reduce the Go pieces to ashes.

"Chen'an was worried that your mother wouldn't accept it, so he specially wrote a letter and asked me to pass it on." Emperor Kangwu said, taking out a letter.

The young eunuch beside him immediately took it and walked towards Consort De's bedside.

Consort De took the letter, pulled out the letter paper, and unfolded it.

After she finished reading it, her face changed several times, sometimes pale, sometimes red, sometimes black, as if a vat of dye had been overturned.

The King of Wu wished he could snatch the letter and read it carefully to see what was written on it.

"Consort De, don't you like this gift?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

Consort De's lips trembled slightly as she forced a smile: "This concubine... likes it very much."

"I'm glad you like it. That girl Chen'an is very thoughtful." Emperor Kangwu stood up. "The affairs of the inner palace are complicated, you must also take care of your health."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your concern." Consort De rose from the ground and bowed to Emperor Kangwu.

"Yes, take good care of yourself." Emperor Kangwu nodded slightly and left with his men.

After Consort De and Prince Wu bowed and respectfully saw Emperor Kangwu off, Consort De swayed and fell to the side.

The King of Wu reacted swiftly, grabbing her and saying, "Mother!"

"Get out, all of you!" King Wu shouted.

The palace maids and eunuchs serving inside hurriedly retreated.

King Wu helped Consort De to the bed, gritting his teeth and angrily shouting, "Qi Zhiyu has gone too far!"

"Father! Father is actually on her side!"

My mother loved playing chess, so my father found this Go set for her.

The mother always treasured it, taking it as proof of the emperor's love for her.

Qi Zhiyu's insistence on taking it was already excessive.

Now, Qi Zhiyu has actually sent it back through her father's influence.

King Wu took a deep breath. Qi Zhiyu was killing him by attacking his spirit!

The emperor had no recollection of giving away this Go set.

What does this tell us?

This game of Go is utterly insignificant to the Emperor; otherwise, how could he have no recollection of it at all?

In other words... what his mother thought was deep affection was nothing but a joke.

Qi Zhiyu, Qi Zhiyu is too ruthless!

She tore this reality apart, presenting it in a bloody and raw way to his mother.

How could his mother not faint?

Suddenly, King Wu was startled, and the words Qi Zhiyu had just said to him flashed through his mind.

Anyone who harms her family will be met with despair... and she never makes empty boasts.

She really does what she says!

"I'll go ask my father!" The King of Wu grew angrier and more unwilling to accept it.

What were he and his mother to the Emperor?

"Don't go!" Consort De reached out and gripped the Prince of Wu's arm tightly.

"Mother!" King Wu exclaimed in shock and bewilderment.

At this point, should Mother still be obsessed with that non-existent affection?

Consort De sighed, "Your father is just too busy. It's normal that he can't remember these things."

The King of Wu stared at his mother in disbelief.

Is his mother alright?

Suddenly, the King of Wu remembered something, snatched the letter, unfolded it, and was so angry that he almost fainted.

"What nonsense is Qi Zhiyu spouting?" King Wu slammed the letter onto the bed in anger.

The line written on the letter was short and straightforward.

"Your Highness, you wouldn't want your beloved Emperor to neglect the affairs of state because of personal feelings, would you?"

Look at this rubbish that Qi Zhiyu wrote!

What did the Emperor remember giving his mother? It was all about affection between father and son.

Does that mean the country and its people will suffer?

If Father Emperor truly cared about his mother, how could he forget her?

Unless, this Go game wasn't something Father Emperor painstakingly searched for at all!

He simply had his subordinates find it and then casually gave it to his mother.

These words were infuriating, but what he found most unbearable was Qi Zhiyu's handwriting.

The dragons and phoenixes dance with such vigor that they seem to leap off the page, revealing an unrestrained flamboyance and sharp edge.

Just seeing these words ignited the anger in King Wu's heart.

Arrogant!

An arrogant aura emanated from them.

It truly reflects the person's character; there's absolutely no fakery involved!

"Actually, what she said makes sense," Consort De comforted King Wu.

"Your father is so busy with state affairs, how could he remember things from so long ago?" Consort De said with a smile.

"It's been decades since your father gave me the Go set, so it's perfectly normal that you don't remember it."

"Mother!" The King of Wu's hands trembled with heartache. "Could you please stop laughing?"

His mother's smile broke his heart.

"Silly child..." Consort De smiled. "Alright, I misunderstood just now. Chen An is right."

King Wu, shocked, grabbed Consort De's shoulders and shook her violently: "Mother, Father doesn't..."

"Shut up!" Consort De shouted hysterically.

King Wu looked at Consort De, whose eyes were bloodshot, and closed his eyes in anguish.

Qi Zhiyu... won!

despair!

His mother fell into deep despair.

It is precisely because of such despair that they refuse to acknowledge it.

"I'm tired, you can go back now." Consort De turned around and lay down with her back to King Wu.

King Wu looked at Consort De curled up in the quilt and almost bit his teeth until they bled.

He bowed deeply to Consort De, then turned and strode away.

With every step he took, he was filled with despair and indignation!

The anger intensified step by step.

By the time they left the palace, their anger had reached its peak.

He boarded the carriage and coldly ordered, "To Prince Rui's residence!"

He wants to kill Qi Zhiyu!

Upon arriving at Prince Rui's residence, his carriage had barely stopped when a servant from the residence greeted him: "Prince Wu, please."

The King of Wu's coachman was dumbfounded. What was going on?

His prince's sudden visit didn't even require notification?

Or was it arranged beforehand that you were supposed to come over from inside the palace?

What the driver thinks is unimportant.

The important thing was that a bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the King of Wu inside the carriage: "Get in."

The coachman immediately obeyed and drove the carriage into Prince Rui's residence.

The King of Wu alighted from his carriage and was led inside.

Qi Zhiyu was sitting inside, smiling at him.

"Qi Zhiyu!" When the King of Wu saw her, he wished he could tear her apart alive immediately.

"Uncle, why are you so angry?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled. "Should I have the maid bring you a cup of tea to cool you down?"

"Qi Zhiyu, stop your nonsense!" King Wu strode forward. "What do you want?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed so hard her shoulders trembled: "Uncle, haven't I already told you what I want to do?"

"You even came all this way to ask...you really are stupid!"

The King of Wu was so angry that he trembled all over.

Qi Zhiyu smiled calmly: "If I were you, I wouldn't have come."

"Even if you come, you can't kill me. What are you doing here?"

Qi Zhiyu asked suspiciously, "Show me your failure?"

"I must say, Imperial Uncle, your quirk... is indeed quite peculiar, and difficult to understand."
