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

Grand Secretary Zhang silently asked himself, "Is His Majesty pleased that Princess Chen'an is benevolent, or pleased that with Princess Chen'an around, Prince Rui's position as crown prince is secure?"

He dared not say these words, nor did he dare to ask... He would just have to accept whatever His Majesty said.

"My grandfather is kind and benevolent, and I cannot disgrace him, can I?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Emperor Kangwu with a smile, her chin slightly raised proudly.

Aside from Emperor Kangwu being very pleased with her words, the expressions of everyone else were truly indescribable!

"Your Highness is very magnanimous." Duke Wei bowed. "After I return, I will have my son divorce his wife."

"We, the Duke of Wei's mansion, cannot afford a woman like that."

Even though Madame Chiang knew what the final outcome would be, she still felt a chill run through her body.

She chose to sacrifice herself to save the Jiang family, but hearing her father-in-law say it so decisively still felt like being pricked by needles.

Of course, she also understood that if her father-in-law didn't say that, then her hopes would be in vain.

She understood the reasoning, and she was genuinely in pain.

Emperor Kangwu nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction with the Duke of Wei's statement.

"Grandfather, there is still something I don't understand." Qi Zhiyu frowned slightly, looking very puzzled.

"What is it?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

"As soon as Madame Chiang gave the signal, these ladies came over to block my way, and they even thought Madame Chiang made a lot of sense..." Qi Zhiyu pouted, "Why are they like this?"

"Are they brainless? Do they just believe whatever Madame Chiang says?"

"Or is it because they fear Madame Chiang's status and have no choice but to obey?"

The kneeling ladies suddenly raised their heads and all looked at Qi Zhiyu.

Is she crazy?

Isn't it enough that Madame Chiang Kai-shek took care of everything?

Qi Zhiyu is being far too aggressive.

Is she really going to drag so many of them down with her?

Emperor Kangwu chuckled lightly: "I... can't figure it out either."

"Chen'an, why don't you just ask them directly? I'm sure they'll give you a reasonable explanation."

The ministers were startled and all instinctively stole glances at the King of Wu.

The King of Wu closed his eyes in anguish.

It turns out that simply having the Jiang family divorce his wife was not the end of the matter.

Qi Zhiyu... she's really ruthless!

"Grandfather...look at the wives these ministers have married!" Qi Zhiyu was extremely annoyed.

It is said that a virtuous wife brings fewer troubles to her husband.

"If their wives are so ignorant of hierarchy and manners, then... is it because they themselves are foolish, or do their husbands think the same way?"

"Grandfather, the seat you're sitting in... doesn't seem very stable."

"Your subjects have no reverence for the royal family... Grandfather, you have been a rather unsuccessful emperor."

Grand Secretary Zhang lowered his eyes; he was old and his hearing wasn't very good.

It's really unreliable, sometimes it works and sometimes it's hard to hear clearly.

The people in the hall were so frightened that their clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

What is Qi Zhiyu saying?

"Your Majesty, I had absolutely no such intention!"

"Your Majesty, I am terrified!"

"Your Majesty, minister..."

"Alright," Emperor Kangwu waved his hand, "Perhaps I really have failed too much."

"It seems that I am indeed not very authoritative as emperor."

The ministers were terrified.

Qi Zhiyu isn't just taking their lives, she's sending their entire family to the underworld!

"Your Majesty, my husband had no such intention," a lady couldn't help but exclaim. "We were just following Madam Jiang's words."

"Madame Chiang is General Wei's future mother-in-law; I dare not disobey!"

"Your Majesty, you are wise. I was truly forced by circumstances to obey Madam Jiang."

The ladies began to speak.

As soon as they spoke, their husbands felt a chill run down their spines and their hands and feet turn icy cold.

Only two words echoed in the ministers' minds—it's all over!

"Is Madam Chiang really that powerful?" Qi Zhiyu was utterly confused and didn't understand at all. "Wei Yifeng is just a mere general."

"Is his mother-in-law someone with a powerful background?"

Emperor Kangwu sat on the dragon throne, quietly watching her performance.

This girl's acting skills are even better than the boss's.

It is truly a masterpiece, without any flaws.

If the people here didn't know the cause and effect of the matter, and couldn't see through her purpose, they would definitely think that she was really ignorant.

Unfortunately, both her ministers and the King of Wu knew her true intentions.

These guys... must hate Chen An to death, right?

Emperor Kangwu couldn't help but laugh as he read it.

This girl, with her fearless and infuriating nature, is truly a member of the Qi family!

"Ah! I know!" Qi Zhiyu slapped her head, suddenly realizing.

"Wei Yifeng and the King of Wu are relatives; they're practically blood relatives."

"No wonder they listen to Madam Jiang; it turns out it's the Prince of Wu and Consort De who gave them that confidence!"

Duke Wei let out a heavy sigh, suddenly feeling that all the sacrifices his family had just made had been in vain.

Qi Zhiyu is quite capable; she's come full circle again.

He used his daughter-in-law as a starting point earlier, and now he's pointing the finger at his female relatives.

The goal is the same, but the approaches are different.

In Qi Zhiyu's hands, the value of the matter was truly squeezed out.

The King of Wu knew that at this point, he could no longer remain silent.

He cupped his hands and said, "Father, it's all my fault."

"When I was still the Crown Prince, all the officials gave me some face."

"They're also considering our past relationship."

Emperor Kangwu did not speak, but simply looked at the King of Wu.

The King of Wu gritted his teeth and kowtowed heavily: "Your subject... is guilty!"

"Uncle, you're innocent!" Qi Zhiyu said sincerely. "Everyone wants the position of Crown Prince."

"I also want my dad to have it."

King of Wu: "..."

Grand Secretary Zhang pressed his aching head. Could he really say that out loud?

"However, you're not the crown prince anymore. Everyone has a chance," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"These ministers are used to supporting you, which I can understand."

"But, Uncle, no matter what, we still need to act within the rules, right?"

"Disrespecting imperial authority...that won't do. If they get into this habit, they might treat you the same way in the future, and that wouldn't be good."

Emperor Kangwu felt fortunate that he had experienced enough storms to restrain himself from laughing.

Chen An, that girl, is really good at sowing discord.

"Chen'an, thank you for your trouble." King Wu smiled, but the smile was really ugly.

Even if Qi Zhiyu said those words, and then explained to the ministers that he didn't think that way at all, would they believe him?

Once the seed of doubt is planted, the rift is formed and can never be mended.

"You lot are really something. The situation is still unclear, and you're already taking sides so early. Aren't you afraid of making the wrong choice?" Qi Zhiyu sighed helplessly at the ministers.

Her regretful expression left the ministers speechless with frustration.

She even felt sorry for her?

What is she regretting?

It's a pity we didn't just kill them outright, isn't it?
