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

King Wu felt confident of victory and paid no attention to Qi Zhiyu's words.

"Chen An, you don't need to be so quick-witted," King Wu coldly rebuked.

"Today, for my father's sake, I will also cripple your martial arts!"

"We absolutely cannot allow a threat like you to remain by Father's side!"

Qi Zhiyu laughed, her shoulders trembling slightly: "King Wu, if I were to let my father sit on that throne, I wouldn't need to kill my grandfather at all."

"All I need to do is kill you."

The King of Wu's face stiffened.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "You have been the crown prince for many years, and most of the court officials are inclined to support you. Their interests are intertwined with yours, and they cannot extricate themselves from the situation."

"Once you die, they can naturally untie you."

"Moreover, my grandfather intended for my father to inherit the throne from the very beginning."

"Once I kill you, everything will be back on track, and all obstacles will be gone."

"If my father were to kill my grandfather, he would also bear the infamy of patricide and regicide."

"Any normal person would know who we should kill to our best advantage."

Qi Zhiyu observed the King of Wu's unpleasant expression and asked with considerable confusion, "Are you truly surprised, or are you trying to curry favor with the Emperor while simultaneously undermining my family under the guise of protecting him?"

King Wu would naturally not choose either of these two answers!

None of them are correct.

"Absurd!" King Wu said coldly, his voice trembling with fear. "Chen'an, I know you are eloquent."

"But you dare to spout such outrageous remarks in the imperial court; you already harbor murderous intent!"

"This concerns my father's safety; I must take precautions!"

As he spoke, the King of Wu raised his hand.

The surrounding soldiers immediately drew their swords, and the archers on higher ground drew their bows taut.

"I'll only give you three counts of time." King Wu held up three fingers, coldly staring at Qi Zhiyu.

"If you don't make a choice, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"One!" King Wu shouted.

Princess Rui frowned, looking at her daughter with worry and anxiety, but she did not move.

"Two!" King Wu's eyes flashed with excitement.

Prince Rui, Qi Jingchen, and Qi Jingxi still showed no reaction whatsoever; in fact, Qi Jingxi looked at Prince Wu as if he were an idiot.

"Three!" The King of Wu's voice trembled slightly with excitement as he uttered the last word.

As soon as the word was uttered, the King of Wu's hand slammed down.

The archer immediately released the bowstring.

The King of Wu smiled, but the victorious smile froze on his face in the next instant.

Because the bowstring snaps as soon as the archer releases it.

To be more precise, the bowstring breaks before it is released.

The evidence is that those arrows didn't even travel half a foot forward before falling to the ground.

The bows and arrows of dozens of people were all rendered useless!

Some people reacted quickly and tried to grab a spare bow, but as soon as they moved, their necks went numb, their vision went black, and they lost consciousness, tumbling heavily from the height.

"It's best not to move." Qi Zhiyu flicked her fingers, and the silver needle between her fingers reflected a cold light in the setting sun.

It wasn't obvious, but it sent chills down my spine.

"Otherwise, next time it won't just be fainting, it'll be death," Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "I don't have a very good temper."

The archers on the high ground, looking at the smiling Qi Zhiyu, felt as if their hearts had been struck hard by a heavy hammer, the pain making their whole bodies numb and their bodies tremble with cold.

Qi Zhiyu's gaze fell on King Wu's ashen face: "King Wu, do you think you can threaten me with just this few men you've brought?"

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

The King of Wu gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound: "Chen'an, today, your martial arts must be crippled!"

"If you harbor any disloyal intentions, Father Emperor will be in grave danger!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly: "King Wu, you are really quite naive."

The King of Wu sneered repeatedly: "Chen'an, you'd better surrender, otherwise, if you kill the soldiers... you will be committing rebellion!"

"Sigh..." Qi Zhiyu sighed, "It's fortunate you're not the crown prince anymore. Otherwise, if someone like you were to ascend the throne, what would you do to the country, the people, and all that people?"

"Chen An!" King Wu roared.

"What are you barking like a dog?" Qi Zhiyu snapped. "Who accused me?"

"I am a princess, what right do you have to cripple my martial arts?"

"This matter requires an imperial decree from our grandfather."

"What? You can now bypass your grandfather and make decisions directly?"

Qi Jingxi laughed mockingly: "Someone is probably possessed, thinking they are the emperor."

"Absolutely," Qi Zhiyu agreed. "His knowledge of martial arts is a threat and a hidden danger. He's directly overstepping his bounds and acting on behalf of his imperial grandfather. I wonder what crime that would constitute and what punishment he would receive?"

"I want to know too." Qi Jingxi stared expectantly at King Wu.

Their coordinated attack only made the King of Wu's face grow increasingly grim: "Whatever blame Father Emperor may have, I will bear it all myself; you have no need to worry about it!"

"Guards, seize Princess Chen'an!" King Wu gave the order directly.

The soldiers, wielding sharp blades, stepped forward and approached Qi Zhiyu.

The King of Wu warned, "Chen'an, if you kill them, you will truly be rebelling!"

"Is this a rebellion on your part, or a rebellion within the Prince Rui's mansion...? We need to investigate this thoroughly."

Qi Jingxi was furious: "King Wu, don't push your luck!"

This forces his sister to not fight back.

If he retaliates and someone dies, his sister's charge of rebellion will be confirmed.

If we don't fight back, will we just get caught like this?

This is so frustrating!

The King of Wu was certain of this, which is why he did it.

It's really hateful!

Qi Jingxi's body tensed with excitement. Qi Jingchen glanced at his younger brother, raised his hand, and tugged at him.

What is he nervous about?

Didn't you see the way Yu'er looked at the King of Wu, as if he were an idiot?

Qi Jingxi realized what his brother meant and looked over. Sure enough, his sister's expression did not change at all in the face of the soldiers who were closing in.

Qi Jingxi's irritation vanished instantly.

His sister must have a way to deal with it.

King Wu looked at Qi Zhiyu with a smug coldness. Killing so many people would be easy, but injuring them one by one and rendering them unable to move would not be so simple.

Especially with such a large human wave tactic, Qi Zhiyu couldn't even use her fists and feet effectively.

As long as Qi Zhiyu is involved, then he can use Princess Rui to threaten Qi Zhiyu... He doesn't believe Qi Zhiyu won't be threatened!

Unless Qi Zhiyu wants to bear the infamy of being unfilial!

The people watching from afar had their hearts in their throats.

The sharp blades in the soldiers' hands gleamed with a chilling light, and the heavy atmosphere around them made it difficult for them to breathe.

They didn't dare to make a sound, let alone speak.

"King Wu," Qi Zhiyu said.

The King of Wu laughed: "Now that you want to submit, I will allow it."

"No..." Qi Zhiyu found it incredibly amusing, "Don't you know that besides martial arts, there are other ways to defeat an enemy in this world?"
