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

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was truly wronged and died.

No matter how much he wanted to suppress her, he wouldn't suppress Qi Jingxi like this!

Isn't this insane?

Emperor Kangwu said calmly, "Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel...what an imposing official position."

"Your Majesty..." The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel trembled with fear.

"Grandfather," Qi Zhiyu said.

"Chen'an, what is it?" Emperor Kangwu asked with a smile.

Qi Zhiyu suggested, "The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is so audacious that he must have done a lot of deceiving his superiors and subordinates in his daily life."

"Grandfather, why don't you investigate him properly?"

"If there are innocent people who have been harmed because of his abuse of power, then we can stand up for them."

Grand Secretary Zhang looked at Qi Zhiyu and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Princess Chen'an is indeed very clever in her actions."

Qi Jingxi suffered a loss, and His Majesty will certainly seek justice for him.

However, if the Vice Minister of Personnel is punished because of this matter, it will be easy for others to gossip behind his back.

However, if the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel himself has serious problems, then His Majesty's punishment would be perfectly justified.

Princess Chen'an's simple suggestion vented Qi Jingxi's anger, punished the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and also cost the Prince of Wu a valuable ally.

Most importantly, the Ministry of Personnel, which had always been controlled by the King of Wu, was opened up.

Prince Rui can send his own people in.

Grand Secretary Zhang was startled and glanced at Prince Rui in disbelief.

Could it be that Prince Rui brought Qi Jingxi into the Ministry of Personnel from the very beginning, just for this day?

So long ago... did Rui Wang and his family already start making plans?

Step by step, link by link... the thoughts of the Prince Rui's family were truly beyond the comprehension of the King of Wu.

Emperor Kangwu had clearly taken Qi Zhiyu's advice to heart: "What Chen'an said is quite right."

Emperor Kangwu immediately appointed someone to thoroughly investigate the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

As for the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who is to be investigated, he will naturally be confined to his home for the time being, and shall not be allowed to go out or be visited by anyone.

When the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was taken away, he was completely unresponsive, as if he had lost his soul.

He simply couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

How did things escalate to the point where he's being investigated?

He really didn't do anything!

"Grandfather!" Qi Jingxi was so moved that she knelt down on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face, and crawled forward two steps on her knees.

"If it weren't for my imperial grandfather, I would have been wrongly accused and killed!"

"I've been wronged and unjustly accused, but what troubles me most is the fear of implicating my imperial grandfather!"

The people in the hall looked at him in confusion. What did this have to do with His Majesty?

"If the villains really succeed, and outsiders think that my grandson has done a bad job, wouldn't that make people blame my father?" Qi Jingxi said, choking back tears.

"My father knew I was incompetent, yet he still managed to get me a position in the Ministry of Personnel. This is my father abusing his power for personal gain, disregarding the country and the people!"

"My father has always been loved and raised by my grandfather. If he is so confused, doesn't that mean..."

Qi Jingxi didn't continue speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

"How outrageous!" Qi Zhiyu cursed. "Who is so vicious as to want the whole world to think that you, Grandfather, are senile!"

Everyone: "..."

Actually, Princess Chen'an really didn't need to say those words.

There are no fools standing here; everyone knows what Qi Jingxi didn't finish saying, without needing Princess Chen'an to spell it out so bluntly.

This is... terrible!

Emperor Kangwu smiled slightly: "Indeed, who is it that insists on making the world think I'm a senile old man?"

The King of Wu felt a chill run down his spine, and he looked up at Emperor Kangwu in shock.

Was his father blaming him?

The King of Wu met Emperor Kangwu's calm gaze.

His eyes were filled with deep grief and indignation.

He was bullied so badly by the Prince Rui's family, can't the Emperor stand up for him?

The more King Wu thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, his eyes filled with accusation and longing for his father's love.

Emperor Kangwu really wanted to slap the King of Wu across the face to bring him to his senses.

When the eldest son stepped down and refused to become the crown prince, he chose the fourth son instead.

The eldest brother had absolutely no objections.

Now that the eldest son can shoulder the responsibility of being the crown prince, why does the fourth son still need to compete?

Chen An is right. The fourth brother doesn't approve of his decision because he thinks he's senile.

Emperor Kangwu was seething with anger. Although he was disappointed in his fourth son, he still felt that the son should have received the same level of upbringing from childhood.

Is this how the fourth brother treats him?

The faint anger in Emperor Kangwu's eyes caused King Wu's heart to ache, as if a sharp knife had pierced his heart.

The sight of blood made him tremble with pain.

Father... do you really have to be so biased towards the eldest son?

Does he have absolutely no place in his father's heart?

The King of Wu closed his eyes in pain, then cupped his hands and said, "Father, since Qi Jingxi is so capable, why didn't he stay in the Ministry of Personnel after he finished his work?"

"His colleagues in the Ministry of Personnel can teach him a lot. He's so intelligent, why doesn't he study hard?"

"If he can take charge on his own soon, it will also relieve Father Emperor's burdens!"

"Where is he? Where did he go? To buy chickens!" King Wu said with utter disdain.

Qi Jingxi immediately became furious: "What's wrong with me buying chicken? Is buying chicken illegal?"

"Qi Jingxi, with such abilities, you should settle down and stop thinking about cockfighting and cricket fighting all the time," King Wu earnestly advised.

"Who's fighting cocks and crickets?" Qi Jingxi stood up angrily, determined to argue with the King of Wu.

"Now that things have come to this, why do you still refuse to admit it?" King Wu sighed helplessly.

"Yes, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel may have done something to wrong you."

"But you just said yourself that you went to see the chickens."

"Everyone present heard it, and now you're denying it?"

Qi Jingxi was amused and exasperated: "You went to buy chickens just to have them fight?"

"Second brother, don't be angry," Qi Zhiyu advised. "Uncle may always have had such a narrow-minded view."

"Buying a chicken is for cockfighting, buying a knife is for killing people."

"Your way of thinking is too fixed, there's nothing you can do about it."

The people in the hall stared blankly at Qi Zhiyu, wondering how her mouth could be so long.

While refuting the King of Wu, he also severely criticized him.

Doesn't this mean telling His Majesty that someone like the King of Wu is simply unsuitable to inherit the throne?

King Wu wasn't stupid; he naturally understood: "Chen'an, you don't need to beat around the bush."

"Qi Jingxi just said it herself, and you can't deny that."

"I'm going to buy chickens. I'm going to send them to the soldiers at the border to add some dishes to their meals!" Qi Jingxi shouted.

"You're adding dishes for the soldiers at the border?" King Wu was greatly shocked.

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow with a sneer and asked, "What's the meaning of your surprise, Imperial Uncle?"

"In your mind... the soldiers guarding the border who defend our country don't even deserve to eat meat?"

King of Wu: "..."

Who can poison Qi Zhiyu to make her mute?
