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

Which pit did he jump into in Chapter 143?

Emperor Kangwu's gaze swept over the people kneeling in the hall.

Many ministers could not withstand Emperor Kangwu's gaze, let alone their families.

Those ladies and young women didn't know what was wrong with them. Even though His Majesty's eyes were very calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

But when the light swept over them, their hearts clenched, and waves of cold air kept emanating from them, causing them to shiver involuntarily.

Qi Zhiyu suddenly remembered something: "Grandfather, it doesn't seem right to have the concubines come to the palace to confront each other."

"We still need to avoid certain things."

What kind of talk is it to make the concubines of the harem appear in public and confront these officials?

Upon hearing Qi Zhiyu's words, Madam Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Zhiyu was quite sensible.

Otherwise, if Consort De and the other concubines were to come here to confront each other, it would be extremely improper.

"Why don't we just call the King of Wu over?" Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Anyway, it all stems from the King of Wu!"

Madame Chiang Kai-shek: "..."

Why doesn't Qi Zhiyu just die?

Emperor Kangwu laughed: "Chen'an is right."

Emperor Kangwu immediately sent someone to summon the Prince of Wu to the palace.

"Grandfather, there's nothing for the abbot to do here," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"I just asked the abbot to come and be a witness."

Emperor Kangwu glanced at the abbot, nodded slightly, and dismissed him.

Is this girl genuinely trying to avoid implicating innocent people, or does she have some... special connection with the abbot?

He says he's not sure yet, let's observe further.

Anyway, Chen An never does anything unnecessary.

After bowing, the abbot rose and respectfully withdrew.

The King of Wu arrived quickly and knelt down to pay his respects upon entering the palace.

He already knew what had happened while he was on the way.

He was so angry when he found out that he almost exploded.

Do the people in the Duke of Wei's family all lack brains?

Why did Madame Chiang go out of her way to provoke Qi Zhiyu?

And they're using such a ridiculous reason!

Are you crazy?

Don't they know that Qi Zhiyu is a mad dog?

If you don't provoke her, you'll never know when she'll suddenly bite you.

Now you still want to provoke her... What is Madame Chiang if not sick?

If it weren't for the military power and other valuable assets held by the Duke of Wei... King Wu gritted his teeth in resentment; he truly couldn't tolerate these fools in the Duke of Wei's mansion!

"Father, there must be some misunderstanding!" King Wu said with a pained expression.

"A misunderstanding?" Qi Zhiyu looked at the King of Wu with amusement. "Uncle, this was said by Lady Jiang, the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Wei."

"And... in order to persuade me, she even called the other ladies over, thinking that there would be strength in numbers and they could teach me a lesson together."

"If she didn't have that intention, she could have just left after seeing me go to the abbot's courtyard."

"How did the other ladies get here? And why were they waiting for me?"

The King of Wu closed his eyes. What a fool.

They can't even get things done efficiently.

How could he refute what Qi Zhiyu said?

"Madam Jiang, why are you doing this?" King Wu asked, looking at Madam Jiang.

Madame Jiang was stunned. Why didn't the Prince of Wu help her smooth things over?

All eyes were on Madame Chiang, making her feel instantly like the target of everyone's criticism.

Jiang Shuyi panicked, looking left and right.

What she saw was her mother's stunned expression, the King of Wu's indifference, and the relieved expressions of the other ladies.

Her heart skipped a beat.

They...they want her mother to take the blame?

But clearly, when they were at the temple, everyone thought her mother was right.

Although it wasn't out in the open, everyone knew what their purpose was.

Otherwise, why didn't she come looking for the other officials' families in the temple?

These people are incredibly eager when they see an opportunity to make money.

Now that things haven't gone smoothly, they've all backed down and pushed her mother to the front.

They are so shameless!

Madame Chiang didn't know what to say; she really didn't know how to deal with this situation.

"Madam Jiang, say something," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"By the way, don't faint. I'm right here. My medical skills... I believe that even if you die right now, I can bring you back to life, answer your questions, and then die."

Grand Secretary Zhang tried hard to purse his lips to avoid laughing.

Princess Chen'an... those words are... truly terrifying.

Of all people to offend, why did the Duke of Wei's daughter-in-law have to provoke this one? She's practically asking for trouble.

Madame Chiang suddenly looked at Qi Zhiyu, the resentment in her eyes almost tangible.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled lightly: "Madam Jiang, when you were slandering and lecturing me, I didn't hate you."

What do you mean by looking at me that way?

"Are you upset because I didn't apologize as you said?"

Madame Chiang hurriedly lowered her head: "This humble woman dares not."

"Hey... Madam Jiang, don't be so modest, you're quite bold." Qi Zhiyu wouldn't allow Madam Jiang to be modest.

"Trying to teach the princess a lesson is something no ordinary person would do. But Madam Jiang dared to! How extraordinary!"

"Did the Duke of Wei give you so much confidence? I doubt it... that he can be your backer and make you so reckless..."

Qi Zhiyu turned her gaze and it landed on the King of Wu.

King Wu wanted to chop Qi Zhiyu into pieces in his heart!

This was originally a tactic used by women in the inner quarters, so why did Qi Zhiyu insist on bringing it up to the imperial court?

The struggle for the throne... does Qi Zhiyu, a woman, really need to worry about this so much?

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei requests an audience," the eunuch announced as he entered.

Emperor Kangwu nodded slightly.

Soon, the Duke of Wei entered and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Your Majesty, my son is still in the army and cannot come over for the time being. I am deeply apprehensive about this and have no choice but to swallow my pride and come to the palace to see you," the Duke of Wei explained.

Emperor Kangwu nodded slightly, accepting the Duke of Wei's statement, but he did not allow the Duke of Wei to get up.

Duke Wei turned and glared at Madam Jiang: "You're foolish! Even if you dote on your daughter, she's not married yet. Why would you do something so absurd?"

Madame Chiang was stunned. Her father-in-law meant...

Jiang Shuyi reacted even faster than her mother.

This is the only excuse we can use now.

Jiang Shuyi said sadly, "It's my granddaughter's fault."

"It's because I feel so sorry for General Wei that my mother did such a foolish thing out of concern for me."

Jiang Shuyi's words secretly relieved the Duke of Wei.

The King of Wu was not as optimistic as the Duke of Wei, because he saw that Qi Zhiyu's expression had changed.

When Duke Jiang Shuyi of Wei said those words, he saw Qi Zhiyu smile.

Although Qi Zhiyu's lips only curved slightly, she was indeed smiling.

If he hadn't been keeping a close eye on Qi Zhiyu, he would have really missed out.

So, what taboo did the Duke of Wei violate with his words?

Do not!
