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

A servant from the Duke of Wei's mansion rushed in and bowed to Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu waved his hand, and the man anxiously reported to the Duke of Wei: "Duke, the young lady is dying. Please, please send an imperial physician to examine her."

"How could this be?" Duke Wei's expression changed drastically.

People were getting impatient, so Emperor Kangwu naturally had to speak up: "What is it?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me," the Duke of Wei hurriedly bowed and said, "I humbly request Your Majesty to grant permission for an imperial physician to treat my granddaughter outside the palace."

"Approved!" Emperor Kangwu was quite generous.

Duke Wei hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The King of Wu frowned and asked, "Didn't I hear that a happy event is approaching in your household? Why are you ill?"

"Duke of Wei, could it be that your granddaughter is feigning illness to break off the engagement because she despises the Wei family for losing their marquisate?"

As soon as the King of Wu uttered these words, the King of Rui turned his head sharply to look at him.

Fourth brother... he wasn't this stupid before.

What's wrong?

Emperor Kangwu's gaze also fell on the King of Wu.

He was pondering something: back then, the eldest brother had no choice but to step down, and the fourth brother took over.

At that time, the fourth brother did indeed demonstrate the ability to match that position.

While not as suitable as the eldest brother, it's still passable.

But ever since he lost his position as crown prince, the fourth prince has done one stupid thing after another and made one foolish move after another.

A hint of doubt flashed in Emperor Kangwu's eyes. Could this be what they call the ebb and flow of power?

Previously, the fourth brother's so-called abilities were only increased because of the eldest brother's abnormality.

Emperor Kangwu may have been thinking about it, but he didn't show it; he just watched quietly.

Duke Wei quickly explained, "Your Highness, you've misunderstood."

"This isn't an illness, but rather an injury I sustained some time ago. I originally thought I'd recover with rest, but I've become so ill that I'm in a daze."

"The doctor prescribed some medicine and said to rest and recuperate properly, and I'll get better."

"But who would have thought... that things would suddenly worsen today."

The King of Wu frowned: "Injured? Who would dare to injure the daughter of the Duke of Wei?"

The Duke of Wei looked embarrassed and stopped talking.

Emperor Kangwu glanced at them, his eyes filled with disappointment.

He didn't want to respond to them; the matters to be discussed at the morning court session had already been discussed.

Emperor Kangwu gave a hint, and the eunuch next to him immediately moved, about to step forward to announce the end of the court session.

At this moment, the King of Wu flew into a rage and asked, "Duke of Wei, what's wrong? Can't you say who injured the person?"

The eunuch could only retract his forward movement, glance at Emperor Kangwu with difficulty, and silently ask for instructions.

Emperor Kangwu remained silent, watching the performance quietly.

He wanted to see just how stupid the fourth brother and his gang could be.

Hopefully, this time the fourth brother can come up with a trick that will impress him, otherwise... he will feel that he was blind before and misjudged the fourth brother.

He can take his anger out on others.

Duke Wei lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Upon seeing this, the King of Wu's anger flared even more: "Duke of Wei, tell me, no one dares to be disrespectful before the Emperor!"

"Fourth Prince, do you really have to make things so embarrassing?" Prince Rui asked.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" King Wu asked, puzzled.

Prince Rui said in a deep voice, "Didn't you see the Duke of Wei's ashamed expression? He didn't want to talk about it anymore, but you still insisted on asking."

"What? You insist that the Duke of Wei admit that it was his granddaughter who had a loose tongue, went to my daughter and made sarcastic remarks to pick a fight, and now you want my youngest son to judge the matter."

"My youngest son couldn't take it anymore and kicked her to wake her up."

"Fourth brother, the Duke of Wei is so old, you should at least give him some face."

The King of Wu and the Duke of Wei both looked at the King of Rui in disbelief.

Listen to this!

Was what Prince Rui was saying even human language?

Qi Jingxi kicked Jiang Shuyi, and she still thinks she's right?

"Duke of Wei, is this really the case?" King Wu asked Duke of Wei, urging him to tell the truth quickly.

Duke Wei gave a wry smile: "If that's how Prince Rui says it is, then it is."

Anyone who looked at the Duke of Wei's expression would know that things were not like that at all; he had something he couldn't say.

Prince Rui nodded: "It's fine as long as you, Duke of Wei, can admit it openly."

"However, Duke of Wei, your household... really needs a good overhaul. It's too unruly and will bring trouble upon you sooner or later."

Duke Wei stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Prince Rui, Prince Rui, actually just took the opportunity to back down like that?

"Your Highness, my granddaughter merely met the princess by chance at the temple, went up to greet her, and casually mentioned her upcoming marriage," the Duke of Wei said with a stern face.

"The relationship between the princess, the granddaughter of the Yin-Yang Minister, and General Wei Yifeng is full of calculations and interests."

"My granddaughter was in a fit of anger, so she asked Princess Chen'an's second brother to judge the matter."

"Then, my granddaughter was kicked."

Prince Rui smiled slightly and suddenly asked, "Duke of Wei, your daughter-in-law has been divorced, hasn't she?"

The Duke of Wei frowned: "Prince Rui, is this matter related to my granddaughter being kicked and injured?"

To evade the issue here is a truly clumsy tactic.

"Forget it, I didn't want to bring it up again. Let's just let this matter drop and pretend nothing happened." Duke Wei chose to back down.

He used this to show His Majesty how unreasonable and incapable Prince Rui was of right and wrong.

Prince Rui was indulging his family members in abusing their power and bullying others.

The court officials should think this through.

If they don't support the King of Wu, and if the King of Rui really ascends the throne, will they purge them?

Furthermore, if any civil or military official suffered a loss at the hands of Prince Rui's children, there would be nowhere to seek redress.

Because Prince Rui only showed favoritism and protected others, they, as his subjects, could only swallow their bitterness.

"You may let it go, but I will not!" Prince Rui said coldly, his face darkening.

"Your daughter-in-law was divorced because she offended my daughter, and your granddaughter is still happily friends with my daughter?"

"Whether she's stupid or just looking for trouble, everyone knows the answer."

"Duke of Wei, stop playing the victim here!"

"Even though I am weak, I still have the ability to protect my own children!"

Prince Rui did not glance at King Wu once throughout the entire ceremony, but everyone in the hall understood that he was speaking to King Wu.

Everyone knows that this was a scheme orchestrated by the King of Wu and the Duke of Wei, targeting the Prince of Rui.

Everyone knew perfectly well who was better; they just wanted to see who was truly superior.

The Duke of Wei, trembling with fear, bowed and said, "Prince Rui, what do you mean by this? I did not mean to..."

"Not what? Duke of Wei, aren't you just holding a grudge against me and trying to trap me?" The words of Prince Rui greatly surprised the Duke of Wei.

Now Prince Rui doesn't even bother to pretend anymore, and has directly torn off all pretense?

"Duke of Wei, your family is truly ruthless! Our two families are sworn enemies, yet you're willing to use your own granddaughter as bait to trap my children!" Prince Rui sneered repeatedly.

"Duke of Wei, do you think you can fool me, the Prince Rui's Mansion, that you have no one to rely on?"

"Do you really think I'm a pushover with no temper?"

"Let me tell you, I am not someone to be trifled with!"
