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

"I never said that, Chen'an, don't make malicious speculations!" King Wu immediately denied.

If this matter isn't clarified, what will he become?

He hasn't even become the crown prince yet, and he's already alienated his military generals... How can he possibly sit on that throne?

"Oh, you're already making malicious assumptions about my second brother. What's wrong with me making assumptions about you?" Qi Zhiyu wasn't going to tolerate the King of Wu.

Ignoring the King of Wu's unpleasant expression, Qi Zhiyu said to Emperor Kangwu, "Grandfather, as you know, my mother often gives away food and medicine."

"This year, my mother has prepared so many things for the soldiers on the border that she can't keep up with it all."

"My second brother, after finishing his work at the Ministry of Personnel, would take some time to help out."

"The cotton-padded clothes and food are almost ready. I just want to make sure the soldiers have plenty of meat to help them recover from the poverty on the border."

"Second brother will go and see if he can buy some good quality ones. Then he can send them over, so they don't have to eat them all at once, and they can rest for a while."

"We'll save it for later, to eat meat or lay eggs or something."

"My second brother is busy with these things, but some people are saying he's neglecting his duties?"

After listening, Emperor Kangwu's gaze fell on the face of the King of Wu.

There was not a trace of condemnation or questioning; it was extremely calm.

But the more this happened, the more distressed the King of Wu felt.

If this matter were to fall on Prince Rui, would the Emperor still wait for Prince Rui to answer on his own?

It's likely that the Emperor had already prepared a reason for Prince Rui.

But when it came to him, his father showed no intention of helping or protecting him.

The King of Wu sneered inwardly. So be it. The more his father looked down on him, the more determined he was to seize the throne.

He wanted to use the facts to show his father that his father was blind and had chosen the wrong person!

"Chen'an, I just find it strange. Why buy chickens near the capital?" King Wu asked in surprise.

"Aren't there any near the border?"

"Buying locally reduces the hassle of transporting poultry, increasing their chances of survival."

Qi Zhiyu asked him with amusement, "King Wu really grew up in the luxurious capital and doesn't know the hardships of life."

The King of Wu's face darkened: "How could I not know?"

Is Qi Zhiyu determined to smear him in front of the Emperor with just a few words?

"Since you know that the people have a hard time, then you should also know that many people on the border are starving, yet they still raise chickens at home?"

"Do you think that's enough if we buy in bulk?"

King Wu said with a stern face, "Chen'an, since you know that the people on the border are living in poverty, buying chickens from them will at least increase their income."

"Moreover, it can expand its scope and benefit more people."

Why do you insist on buying it near the capital?

Qi Zhiyu asked, rather strangely, "So, according to you, there are no poor people near the capital?"

"Don't they need the money from selling chickens to supplement their household income?"

The King of Wu gritted his teeth: "Is that what I meant?"

"What I mean is that the people on the border need this benefit even more!"

"Why not have the border troops buy vegetables from them and have them sew clothes and shoes for them?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled.

At the same time, she also announced what her family had donated: "In addition to finished cotton-padded clothes, there are also a large amount of fabric."

"It's to make it easier for the soldiers to sew clothes and shoes."

"These things can be done by the villagers nearby."

"In this way, clothes and shoes can be made according to size, which also provides income for the nearby villagers."

"They earned their own money and can buy whatever they want."

"King Wu, broaden your horizons and stop focusing on chickens."

Qi Zhiyu sneered, "My second brother is buying chickens, and all you do is stare at the chickens. Can't you have any of your own thoughts and opinions?"

The King of Wu felt his father's gaze on his face, and he really wanted to slap Qi Zhiyu a few times.

Why does she always have to put him down when she's just talking?

"How did you become the Crown Prince back then?" Qi Zhiyu clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Father, I told you you shouldn't be so concerned about brotherhood."

"Look at you, you've gone to such lengths to climb the social ladder just to appease your younger brother. What were you thinking?"

King Wu stared at Qi Zhiyu in shock; she was getting more and more excited as she spoke.

Prince Rui sighed softly, his voice filled with helpless weariness: "So, now I'm going to fight for it."

"Fourth brother, it's not that I want that position, but... the people need me."

Upon hearing Prince Rui's words, even someone as seasoned and experienced as Grand Secretary Zhang couldn't help but cough to hide his uncontrollable laughter.

The ministers who followed King Wu stared at King Rui as if they had been struck by lightning.

Prince Rui looked helpless and heartbroken, his whole being as innocent as a pure child.

Prince Rui is truly innocent!

He even relinquished the position of crown prince, only wanting to live a peaceful and leisurely life as a prince.

Unfortunately, the King of Wu was not capable enough.

For the sake of the country and its people, he had no choice but to return to public life.

Is this what he wants to fight for?

This was entirely due to the King of Wu's incompetence; for the sake of the people, he had no choice but to return to the court.

But King Wu himself was incompetent and refused to relinquish power, insisting that King Rui personally fight for it.

The ministers who followed the King of Wu were all dumbfounded.

So, without doing anything, they became a group of treacherous officials who went against the people.

No... can anyone tell them when their identities changed?

Even though they followed the King of Wu, they were still diligent and conscientious when doing their own work!

injustice!

A tragic injustice that has been ravaged for centuries!

They are truly innocent!

King Wu was so enraged that his features contorted, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace: "Peace be with you, Your Majesty!"

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile, her temper was very good.

At this moment, she stood in stark contrast to the hysterical King Wu.

But Qi Zhiyu then asked an extremely hurtful question: "Uncle, are you angry out of embarrassment?"

"That's not good. Even if I'm right, you can't do this."

"You either magnanimously relinquish power, or you hold your ground and compete with my father."

"You're neither giving in nor letting go, you can't stay calm either...sigh..."

Qi Zhiyu sighed deeply, "I truly feel sorry for those who support you."

"Won't they take their anger out on you?"

The ministers who followed the King of Wu were stunned.

They knew perfectly well that Princess Chen'an was trying to sow discord between them and the Prince of Wu, and that such a trap had been dug right in front of them, yet they still had no choice but to jump in.

Because they said there was no animosity between them, did King Wu believe them?

The King of Wu said he trusted them, but could they really trust him?

Especially the King of Wu... Everyone looked at the King of Wu, whose veins were bulging and whose face was red. They really couldn't believe that their master was so emotionally unstable!

With just a few words, the King of Wu lost his composure to this extent... They were truly disappointed.

Qi Zhiyu's lips curled up slightly. Fight her?

That's hilarious!
