The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.
Chapter 142 Don't overthink it
The women looked at Qi Zhiyu in astonishment, completely dumbfounded.
What nonsense is she spouting?
Grand Secretary Zhang was quite surprised, wondering what Princess Chen'an was up to this time.
"Oh? Who wants to rebel?" Emperor Kangwu became interested.
Are we going to go all in right away?
interesting!
He couldn't be mistaken; all the people in the hall were family members of officials who sided with the fourth prince.
Is Chen An planning to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?
That would be too drastic, and the turmoil in the court would inevitably affect the common people, which is not a wise choice.
Of course, Emperor Kangwu only thought about it and didn't say anything. He waited to see what Chen'an would do next.
"Of course, it's these people." Qi Zhiyu pointed to the women in the hall.
The women's faces changed drastically, and they all knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
"We implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"
"I had absolutely no such intention!"
Qi Zhiyu glanced at them, then smiled at Emperor Kangwu: "Grandfather, what I said just now wasn't quite accurate."
"It's definitely not that they want to rebel."
The women finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But what Qi Zhiyu said next almost scared them to death.
"It's their families who are rebelling, those ministers who are officials in the court," Qi Zhiyu said with great seriousness.
The women were furious: "Princess, don't talk nonsense!"
"Princess, please watch your words!"
"Nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, I'm innocent!"
These people were making a ruckus, but Qi Zhiyu was completely unaffected: "And their family members who were concubines in the palace should also be accomplices in the rebellion."
"Princess Chen'an, what exactly do you want to do?" Madam Jiang asked in grief.
"Just because I stopped you from entering the abbot's courtyard without permission, you're holding a grudge against me?"
"I really meant well. It was out of respect for the abbot that I didn't want to disturb such a highly respected person."
"The other ladies felt the same way as me. They didn't do anything; they just wanted to wait for the princess to come out so we could explain things to the abbot together."
"Princess, do you hate us that much?"
"Just because of this, you want our entire family executed?"
After listening, Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Zhiyu with a smile. This girl... she really gets straight to the point when she does things.
Emperor Kangwu saw through Qi Zhiyu's scheme, and Grand Secretary Zhang, who was standing beside him, naturally thought of it as well.
However, he didn't quite understand why Princess Chen'an was going to do this.
What exactly is her purpose?
At this moment, a young eunuch came in to report that all the ministers and the abbot had arrived.
Emperor Kangwu summoned them into the hall, and after they entered, they knelt down to pay their respects.
Emperor Kangwu did not tell them to rise, but instead slowly asked, "I heard you're planning a rebellion?"
The ministers were all stunned.
What's going on here?
How could they rebel?
At most, they were just following the King of Wu, hoping to gain merit by following the emperor.
Why are they rebelling?
Do you want to die?
"Your Majesty, we have no such intention!" Several ministers kowtowed in unison to express their sincerity.
They had no idea what was going on.
While working in the government office, he was suddenly summoned to the palace.
As soon as they entered the palace, His Majesty said that they were going to rebel.
Even a sudden, unexpected disaster wouldn't be this absurd!
What's going on here?
"Come, Mrs. Jiang, you speak to them," Qi Zhiyu said directly.
Anyway, she has no interest in repeating it.
tired!
Madame Chiang immediately recounted the situation in detail.
No matter what, she is right.
"The abbot is here too, he can testify. Did Princess Chen'an force her way in?" Madam Jiang looked at the abbot.
The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "What Madame Chiang said is true."
Madame Chiang looked at Qi Zhiyu with a smug expression.
The witnesses are all here, let's see how Qi Zhiyu can still deny it?
To her surprise, when she looked over, she found that Qi Zhiyu hadn't even looked at her.
Madame Chiang was shocked by the look in Qi Zhiyu's eyes when she looked at Emperor Kangwu; that look was full of pity and sympathy.
This...this...
Is Qi Zhiyu pitying His Majesty?
Has Qi Zhiyu gone mad?
"Grandfather, you are truly pitiful." Qi Zhiyu shook her head and sighed softly.
Emperor Kangwu was amused by her: "Oh? What do you mean?"
"Now even an abbot can climb above the royal family?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.
"Me, a princess, meeting him and offending him?"
The kneeling ministers suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and a cold sensation on their necks.
They have a big knife across their necks; with the slightest movement, their heads will fall to the ground!
"I want to see him, and it's only right that I ask him to come to Prince Rui's residence to see me immediately," Qi Zhiyu snorted.
"I went to the temple to see him in person, which was already a great honor and showed him the utmost respect."
"What? Do these ladies consider the royal princess so lowly?"
Madame Chiang felt her hair stand on end and her hands and feet instantly turn ice cold.
No, that's not it...
Just as she was about to explain, Qi Zhiyu's next sentence plunged her into the abyss of despair.
"Why do these ladies think this way? Is it because their family members, who are officials in the court, have always told them this?"
The kneeling ministers' legs buckled, and several of them collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat.
Princess!
Ancestors!
Can you please stop talking?
They only have one life and one head!
They don't want their property confiscated and their entire family wiped out!
"Or perhaps, it's the confidence that comes from the concubines in your harem, Grandfather?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a light laugh.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that the concubines have a good relationship with Consort De."
"Back then, the King of Wu was the crown prince, and he held the abbot in exceptional respect...tsk tsk tsk...this makes me think a bit more."
"Can those whom the King of Wu values transcend social hierarchy and the rules of propriety?"
The officials in the hall were screaming in their hearts, "Princess Chen'an, don't overthink it!"
If she thought about it more carefully, King Wu and all of them would be wiped out in one fell swoop!
Emperor Kangwu chuckled softly, "I haven't paid much attention to these things before."
"So, the princess I personally appointed is so incompetent, not even as good as a... enlightened monk."
The abbot hurriedly bowed, saying, "This humble monk is deeply humbled!"
Qi Zhiyu said, "The abbot did not do that. It was just that Madam Jiang and the others kept clamoring, wanting me to understand the hierarchy again."
"They made me realize that in front of the abbot whom the King of Wu values, the royal princess is not worth mentioning."
Madame Chiang Kai-shek's vision went black, and she almost fainted.
How exactly did Qi Zhiyu get involved in this?
She saw Qi Zhiyu acting so recklessly in the temple, just to solidify Qi Zhiyu's reputation for arrogance and domineering, and to tarnish the reputation of the Prince Rui's mansion.
How... how did things get to this point?
She only wanted to target the Prince Rui's family.
But Qi Zhiyu wanted to exterminate them all!
"Grandfather, why don't we invite all the ladies over to confront them together, so as not to wrongly accuse them?" Qi Zhiyu was incredibly understanding.
But at this moment, in the eyes of the ministers, she was like the King of Hell in the underworld, who could erase the lifespan of their entire clan with a single thought!
