Winning people over—isn't that what Jiang Shuyi and her group do?

This time, it's Jiang Shuyi and the others who get to show their faces.

Aren't they just making money by selling some prayer charms?

Qi Jingxi was filled with doubts, which naturally showed on her face.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled lightly: "Second Brother, do you think some people were able to successfully offer incense while others couldn't?"

"Yes, why?" Qi Jingxi asked in surprise.

"Did you tamper with the incense?"

"That's not right!" Qi Jingxi immediately denied it. "Weren't the incense and incense burner brought by them later?"

"You can't prepare in advance; you can't possibly clean up all the incense sticks and incense burners nearby, can you?"

It seems highly unlikely; such a commotion would be too great.

unrealistic.

When the time comes, Jiang Shuyi and the others will investigate and eventually find some clues.

"Xiang's tricks are nothing more than a small scheme," Qi Zhiyu said with a slight smile.

Her power is not what it used to be, but if she can't even control whether Xiang Mie is destroyed or not, she might as well just die.

"Huh?" Qi Jingxi was stunned.

He was starting to fall behind his sister's ideas.

"Some people have already started to waver. Tell our father and eldest brother to keep an eye on things and make some adjustments if necessary," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

Qi Jingxi: "...Sis, please explain!"

He really doesn't understand!

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Some smart people have already realized that they followed the wrong master."

"As long as they don't think about King Wu or how to make a name for him, but instead think about our father, their incense will naturally not go out," Qi Zhiyu revealed the answer.

Qi Jingxi was so shocked her jaw almost dropped to the ground: "N-no... Sis, how did you know they thought that?"

"It depends on your aura," Qi Zhiyu said. "When your thoughts change, your fortune will change accordingly."

"It's like when someone is stuck in a rut, that's a deathly aura. But once they suddenly understand, that deathly aura naturally dissipates, and life returns."

Qi Jingxi stared blankly at his younger sister. Finally, he used his hand to close his chin, which he couldn't close.

"Second Brother, you already knew I could read fortune, didn't you?" Qi Zhiyu didn't quite understand.

Is it really necessary to be so surprised?

"I'm not surprised that you can observe the aura of destiny," Qi Jingxi murmured.

After all, his sister is very skilled at drawing talismans.

"What surprises me is that you actually used Jiang Shuyi to lead this blessing ceremony to poach people from the Wu King's side." Qi Jingxi's head was throbbing from thinking so much, but she still couldn't figure it out.

How did his sister's brain even start?

Qi Zhiyu looked at Qi Jingxi in surprise: "Second Brother... since we can achieve multiple goals, why do we only do one?"

"Poaching people from the King of Wu's side doesn't conflict with making money for us, right?"

Qi Jingxi: "...It's not contradictory, but I don't think anyone can do it to this extent like you."

"It's just a piece of cake," Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "I'm a lazy person, so I'll avoid anything that's easy for me."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

I want to cry.

He used to think he was pretty good.

Ever since his sister came back, I suddenly feel like such a useless person!

"Second Brother, you can handle the rest yourself. I'm going back." Qi Zhiyu waved his hand.

She had done what she was supposed to do, and she didn't care about the remaining trivial matters.

She found it too much trouble.

"Sis, drive carefully on the road." Qi Jingxi said, but something felt off.

He thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

There are still many things to do.

Moreover, he needed to go home and tell his father and older brother about the situation.

He remembered who were the people whose incense hadn't gone out yet.

In the evening, Qi Jingxi returned home to find the family having dinner, but Qi Zhiyu was not there.

"Where is Yu'er?" Qi Jingxi asked curiously.

"Let's go listen to music," Princess Rui said.

Qi Jingxi didn't think much of it and simply recounted what had happened at the temple.

Even though Prince Rui and his group didn't go to the temple, they still knew what had happened there.

As for what was hidden within, they truly hadn't expected it.

Qi Jingchen laughed after hearing this: "It still has to be Yu'er."

Jiang Shuyi and her group not only spent money but also lost people.

"We need to control what happens next," Prince Rui thought more deeply.

Those people must have good connections. Their incense hasn't gone out yet, so wouldn't those whose incense has been extinguished go to them to inquire about information?

Once the key information is revealed, even if it circulates in secret, it will eventually reach the ears of the King of Wu.

He needs to make a good deal of it.

"It's destiny," Qi Jingxi sighed.

He also figured out his sister's purpose.

He was creating this identity for his father.

However, it must be said that the ritual organized by Jiang Shuyi and her group was indeed quite influential.

The people of the capital were all talking about it, and they were all discussing how Jiang Shuyi and her wives had shown compassion for ordinary soldiers by directly paying money to get them prayer charms.

For a time, many families would sincerely pray for the safety of their family members every night before going to bed.

After all, temple talismans are very effective.

Emperor Kangwu was naturally aware of this news. He did some calculations, and then looked at Prince Rui, who was sitting at a table handling matters, and said, "Eldest son, your family has become much wealthier recently."

"Enough to eat and drink, just enough to get by," Prince Rui replied calmly.

Emperor Kangwu sneered: "Barely making ends meet?"

"Do you want me to do some accounting for you?"

It was installed in front of him.

"Sigh..." Prince Rui sighed helplessly, "Father, if I don't get the money this way, am I supposed to put you in a difficult position and make you use your own private treasury?"

"My son isn't the fourth child; he's always giving his dad a hard time."

Emperor Kangwu: "...Eldest son, you've really grown up."

"You're showing your filial piety by stepping on your fourth son while simultaneously changing the subject. You've really got some nerve."

Prince Rui blushed and smiled shyly, "It's all thanks to Father's excellent teaching."

Emperor Kangwu closed his eyes in anger; even he was occasionally taken aback by such shamelessness.

"Are you planning to take action?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

"Why did the incense go out?"

He felt that things were not simple.

Prince Rui didn't hide anything and said it directly. After listening, Emperor Kangwu sighed and said, "You are indeed the one destined by Heaven."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have such a wonderful daughter!"

Prince Rui humbly replied, "This is also a blessing for the court and the people."

"Heaven is merely using the son's hand to protect the peace of this region."

Emperor Kangwu: "...If you could tone down that smug look on your face, I might believe you a little."

Once his act was exposed, Prince Rui stopped pretending, put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter, slamming his fist on the table twice: "My son is just lucky, Dad, you can't be envious of that."

Emperor Kangwu's face immediately darkened.

This kid... he's really something else! If you don't discipline him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!

Emperor Kangwu grabbed the memorial he was holding and threw it at him.

With a thud, it struck Prince Rui squarely on the forehead, interrupting his smug laughter.
