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

"It seems your prayers really worked," Emperor Kangwu said with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, the prayers really worked," Jiang Baihua said with a smile.

"This humble general witnessed it with his own eyes. It was clearly a fatal attack that should have been impossible to dodge, but there were always coincidences that allowed the soldiers to avoid it."

"This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice on the battlefield, and many soldiers themselves have experienced it firsthand."

"I have narrowly escaped death several times."

"Oh?" Emperor Kangwu was very interested. "These prayer charms are so effective."

Everything Chen An produces is of high quality.

"Yes," Jiang Shuyi explained, "The abbot said that the more sincere you are when praying for blessings, the stronger the effect."

"I don't think so," Qi Zhiyu suddenly said.

"If the wishing charms are so effective, how come people are still getting injured?"

Jiang Baihua's face darkened. Why did Qi Zhiyu talk so much nonsense?

He specifically mentioned the prayer charm in order to bring up his daughter before His Majesty.

His daughter also deserves some credit.

The more meritorious the Jiang family was, the more the King of Wu would care about them and dare not treat them lightly.

Why is Qi Zhiyu causing trouble at this time?

"Your Highness is mistaken," Jiang Baihua retorted. "It is already a miracle that not a single soldier died in this expedition."

"Although there were injuries, it's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"If things had gone according to the old rules, those wounded soldiers would have been dead long ago."

"Oh?" Qi Zhiyu exclaimed in surprise, "This wishing charm is actually that effective?"

Jiang Baihua replied confidently, "Of course!"

"You guys are quite brave." Qi Zhiyu turned her gaze to the generals present. "You and your son-in-law are both injured."

"It seems Jiang Shuyi isn't sincere," Qi Zhiyu sighed.

Jiang Baihua said in a deep voice, "The princess has never been on the battlefield, so naturally she does not know the dangers of the battlefield."

"Being injured is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"Oh? You mean you were going to die on the battlefield, but Jiang Shuyi prayed for your safety, and you were able to escape death and only get injured?" Qi Zhiyu understood what Jiang Baihua meant.

Jiang Baihua nodded: "That's exactly right!"

"That doesn't make sense," Qi Zhiyu said, puzzled. "Does going to the battlefield mean certain death?"

"Others may not be so, but I have always been at the forefront, enduring the most dangers," Jiang Baihua said in a deep voice.

Qi Zhiyu suddenly laughed: "Jiang Baihua, you wear a mask when you go to the battlefield, right?"

"Princess, that's not a mask, it's a kind of protective gear," Jiang Baihua explained.

"So, when you're charging into battle, no one can see your face," Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile. "Then how can you prove that you're the one charging at the forefront, bravely fighting the enemy?"

Qi Zhiyu's words shocked everyone in the hall.

What did she mean by that?

Jiang Baihua asked with a grim expression, "Princess, what do you mean by this?"

"What I mean is... you've taken credit for other people's work for so many years, and you're still pretending. Don't you have any shame?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a cold smile.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Baihua immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Kangwu, "This humble general is innocent!"

"This humble general fought bravely on the battlefield, risking his life countless times, and yet upon returning, he is subjected to such humiliation by the princess. This humble general... this humble general..."

Jiang Baihua's next words were replaced by a trembling sob.

Anyone who heard this would feel sorry for him.

Duke Wei rose and knelt beside his son: "Your Majesty, my family has always been loyal and devoted. On the battlefield, we would rather die than retreat a single step."

"Now that Princess Chen'an has said this... this old minister is not convinced!"

"If my son hadn't fought bravely against the enemy, how could he have been injured?"

The Duke of Wei said with grief, "It was thanks to the old minister's granddaughter leading everyone in praying for blessings that the casualties among the soldiers were minimized."

"And yet my son was still injured under these circumstances... Your Majesty, I must plead my case!"

Emperor Kangwu ignored the Duke of Wei and looked at Qi Zhiyu instead.

Now that Chen An has spoken, this is definitely Chen An's home ground.

He just needs to observe the situation and say a few words when the time is right.

"Second Brother, read it aloud." At Qi Zhiyu's call, Qi Jingxi immediately stood up, took out a booklet from his bosom, and began to read it aloud.

The people in the hall listened quietly, and the more they listened, the more alarmed they became.

This booklet records who among the soldiers was injured, where the injuries were, and the extent of the injuries.

They knew the damage would be minor, but they never expected it to be this minor.

This surprised everyone, but what truly astonished and even terrified them was... how could Prince Rui know so clearly?

Especially for the ministers who followed the King of Wu, their hearts felt as if they were being crushed under a millstone, repeatedly and endlessly.

After Qi Jingxi finished reading, Qi Zhiyu asked, "Did the Duke of Wei hear that?"

"Jiang Baihua was injured entirely because he acted as bait in the military camp, making the enemy think they had an opportunity to attack. He was injured when they stormed the camp."

The Duke of Wei said coldly, "So what?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled, looking at the Duke of Wei as if he were an idiot: "Don't you find it strange?"

"This was originally a tactic used against the enemy, in order to encircle and annihilate the enemy forces."

"In other words, Jiang Baihua's role as bait was pre-planned; he was prepared in advance, and other soldiers cooperated... How could he still be injured under such circumstances?"

Duke Wei found Qi Zhiyu's question ridiculous: "The princess doesn't understand that the situation on the battlefield changes in an instant."

"Isn't getting injured normal?"

"It's abnormal that Jiang Baihua was injured," Qi Zhiyu sneered. "On the battlefield, he faced far more dangerous situations than these, and he wasn't injured."

"But why did he get injured when he was so fully prepared?"

Jiang Baihua pinched his leg hard with his fingers, his whole body muscles tense like stone.

Duke Wei frowned, about to retort, when he heard Qi Zhiyu say with a cold laugh, "On one side is someone with superb martial arts skills, courage, and strategy; on the other side is someone who, despite being fully prepared, still gets injured... The only difference is that one wears a mask, and the other doesn't!"

Qi Zhiyu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil, and the crowd in the hall instantly erupted in chaos!

Duke Wei's expression changed drastically, and he looked at his son in disbelief.

The moment he looked over, Duke Wei's heart skipped a beat.

What did he see?

He saw guilt on Jiang Baihua's face!

Could there really be something fishy going on here?

Emperor Kangwu watched the murmuring crowd below with great interest. He was not annoyed by the chaotic scene at all; on the contrary, he found it quite interesting.

Especially when people are shocked, they will subconsciously react with their inner thoughts.

This is a good time to observe.
