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

The neutral ministers looked at the King of Wu, whose face was ashen, and the Duke of Wei, who was suppressing his anger, with mixed feelings.

It seems that even the Duke of Wei was unaware of what Jiang Baihua had done.

It has to be said, Jiang Baihua is really bold.

No wonder Jiang Zhongming severed ties with the Duke of Wei.

Who could stand being exploited like this?

It was also because Jiang Zhongming had finally found a backer. With the support of Prince Rui, Jiang Zhongming was naturally not afraid of the Duke of Wei, nor was he afraid of the Prince of Wu behind the Duke of Wei.

Yes, now everyone can see that Jiang Zhongming is Prince Rui's man.

This is getting interesting.

Duke Wei wanted to hand over military power to Jiang Baihua, or at least the rest would fall into the hands of the King of Wu.

King Kerui pulled a fatal blow.

This is an attempt to seize all of the Duke of Wei's military power.

No, that's not right...

Was everything that King Wu possessed already in King Rui's possession from the very beginning?

The neutral ministers were shocked by Prince Rui's methods, while the ministers who followed Prince Rui were overjoyed, realizing they had chosen the right master.

As for the ministers who supported the King of Wu and whose interests were related to him, they all looked ashen-faced.

Some of the military generals who sided with the King of Wu felt a sense of relief when they thought of what their wives had said to them.

Thinking of the King of Wu prevents me from praying for blessings, but thinking of the King of Rui keeps the incense burning.

If Prince Rui is not the chosen one by Heaven, then who is?

It was supposed to be a celebratory banquet, but the atmosphere in the hall was heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Qi Zhiyu was the least affected; she still ate as usual.

It's so late at night, are you going to wait for them on an empty stomach instead of eating?

She would never do something that would cause her so much suffering.

As Jiang Shuyi was watching her father with concern, a strong, overpowering fragrance suddenly wafted into her nostrils.

It was a soup that had been simmered for a long time. The ingredients blended together perfectly, without overpowering each other's flavors. Instead, they complemented each other just right, making it incredibly delicious.

Jiang Shuyi turned her head and saw Qi Zhiyu open the lid of the soup bowl and slowly and leisurely drink it with a spoon, and she seemed to be enjoying it very much.

That soup must be delicious; you could tell from Qi Zhiyu's expression of enjoyment.

The question is... is it time to drink soup now?

Jiang Shuyi stared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu with eyes that seemed to be poisoned.

The others couldn't help but look at Qi Zhiyu as well.

It wasn't that they intentionally wanted to pay attention to Princess Chen'an; it was just that... the aroma was making their stomachs rumble.

They're still hungry too!

The dishes that were served in front of them might have still been a little warm, but after Jiang Baihua's outburst, who would dare to eat anything at that moment?

The food in front of me was already completely cold. No matter how delicious something is, it doesn't taste good when it's cold.

Not to mention, even now, they can't bring themselves to eat.

Emperor Kangwu glanced at Chen'an, who was happily eating, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. This girl.

She seemed quite at ease.

She stirred up the situation, leaving all the civil and military officials feeling uneasy, while she herself acted as if nothing had happened.

Yeah, what could possibly happen to her?

Everything was under her control.

"Your Majesty," Jiang Zhongming bowed respectfully, "this humble general has finished writing."

Emperor Kangwu nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on Jiang Baihua.

Jiang Baihua visibly stiffened, quickly wrote a few more words, then put down his pen, stood up, and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, this humble general has also finished writing."

After witnessing his series of actions, the Duke of Wei felt dizzy and his vision blurred.

The son he had always favored turned out to be such a fool!

The eunuch presented what the two had written to Emperor Kangwu.

After Emperor Kangwu finished reading it, he smiled and handed it directly to the eunuch beside him, saying, "Read it aloud."

The eunuch immediately began reading aloud; the first document was Jiang Baihua's.

The battle that made him famous was a victory against overwhelming odds, which was admirable in terms of both tactics and combat strength, and is still talked about with great interest to this day.

After the eunuch finished reading, the civil official marveled at the miraculous and perilous nature of the battle, while the military general felt a sense of longing.

If they can win such a battle, it will be enough for them to be proud of for the rest of their lives.

The eunuch then read out the document written by Jiang Zhongming. As everyone listened, their expressions changed, and their complicated gazes all fell on the Duke of Wei.

They had already decided that Jiang Baihua was a thief, and now they just wanted to see how the Duke of Wei would react.

So this capable illegitimate son severed ties with his family and raised a thief who stole credit from others... Did the Duke of Wei not notice anything amiss at home?

Is it that Duke Wei is too biased, or is Duke Wei blind and simply cannot see it?

After the eunuch finished reading, Emperor Kangwu smiled and asked, "My ministers, what are your thoughts?"

All the officials in the hall fell silent.

Anyone who isn't an idiot knows that battle was definitely fought by Jiang Zhongming.

Because those details can only be described by those who have experienced them firsthand.

Compared to Jiang Zhongming, Jiang Baihua's writing is... far too rough.

Rather than saying he was a firsthand witness, it would be more accurate to say he heard it from others.

Emperor Kangwu smiled slightly: "Duke of Wei, what do you have to say?"

The Duke of Wei knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

"Father!" Jiang Baihua turned around and exclaimed.

Why did you accept it?

The Duke of Wei was so angry with this rebellious son that he was about to die.

Not only is he incompetent, but he can't even find a suitable puppet.

Duke Wei didn't see anything wrong with Jiang Baihua claiming credit for Jiang Zhongming's achievements.

If a son born out of wedlock is capable, isn't it only natural for him to support the legitimate son?

We're all members of the Chiang family; shouldn't we contribute for the sake of the family?

Does it matter who gets the credit?

Jiang Zhongming has made contributions to the family, and the family will certainly not forget him.

"Outrageous!" the Duke of Wei roared. "What outrageous thing have you done?"

Regardless of what the Duke of Wei was thinking, he certainly couldn't say those words aloud.

Jiang Baihua was filled with shame and indignation. Why wasn't his father on his side?

The Duke of Wei saw the resentment and grievance in his eyes.

He couldn't understand why his son, whom he had always thought he had raised well, would be so foolish today.

Not only do they lack the ability to assess the situation, they also lack the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Emperor Kangwu laughed: "Never mind, it's all thanks to the Jiang family, after all."

Qi Zhiyu slowly said, "Grandfather, they have severed ties."

Everyone: "..."

Princess Chen'an can't stand not touching the Duke of Wei's heart, can she?

Everyone subconsciously looked at the Duke of Wei, and sure enough, the Duke of Wei's face was truly unbearable to look at.

Emperor Kangwu laughed heartily: "You child... although they are now estranged, they were still family in the past."

"All those past achievements, what happened to them...?"

"Jiang Zhongming should also be compensated," Qi Zhiyu directly echoed Emperor Kangwu's words.
