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

The third princess shuddered in fright.

She knows her father best.

Even when the Emperor was angry, he would not shout or yell; instead, he remained remarkably calm.

That's how my father calmly eliminated several powerful families.

She heard that back then, when people were beheaded, the blood was so much that it was impossible to clean it all up.

"Wei Yifeng," Emperor Kangwu called out.

Wei Yifeng quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Your Majesty."

"Does your wife think it's shameful for Chen An to keep male concubines?" Emperor Kangwu asked with a smile.

Wei Yifeng was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, it's all because of my wife's insolence."

Emperor Kangwu calmly instructed, "Wei Yifeng, from now on, everyone in your family should also learn proper etiquette."

"Yes," Wei Yifeng quickly kowtowed in response.

"Get up." Emperor Kangwu didn't say anything more.

However, Wei Yifeng knew that it would be difficult for him to rise further in his career.

If he can't even manage his own family, how will he manage the soldiers in the army?

He never imagined that his simple act of having Jiang Shuyi cooperate with the Prince of Wu to let the Third Princess know that Qi Zhiyu was keeping male lovers would implicate him.

Wei Yifeng stiffly got up from the ground and stood back up, feeling only a chill all over his body and a dazed, blank mind.

Is he really finished?

Qi Zhiyu glanced at Wei Yifeng, whose face was ashen, and a mocking smile appeared in her eyes.

Scheming against her without paying the price?

What wishful thinking are you having?

What about Consort De's family?

Without his title, Wei Yifeng's path to advancement has been cut off. Let's see what tricks they can come up with next.

Therefore, sometimes, some people don't have to die.

Living is much harder than dying.

I wonder what kind of trouble Wei Yifeng and Jiang Shuyi will cause after he goes back.

She quite enjoys watching dogs fight.

The Third Princess realized that her father, the Emperor, was simply indulging Qi Zhiyu.

"Father, I didn't know at the time," the Third Princess complained, feeling wronged. "Chen'an could have told me."

Why did Qi Zhiyu have to embarrass her like this?

They scolded her and made her kneel down.

It was clearly Qi Zhiyu who went too far.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly.

The third princess immediately looked over resentfully: "What are you laughing at?"

"I couldn't help it," Qi Zhiyu said with amusement. "It's been a long time since I've seen someone so... stupid."

"You..." The Third Princess was about to scold her, but suddenly stopped.

She turned to Emperor Kangwu, looking at him with a wronged expression: "Father, you saw how outrageous Chen'an was!"

"She dared to humiliate me like this even in front of you."

Emperor Kangwu smiled and asked, "Did Chen'an say anything wrong?"

The third princess stared in shock.

"When a court lady slanders members of the royal family, you do not know how to uphold the dignity of the royal family, but instead readily believe what others say..." Emperor Kangwu stared intently at the Third Princess.

"Jinyi, have you forgotten everything you learned in the palace?"

The third princess felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that something was wrong.

"Father, it's not like that. I just feel that Chen'an, as a woman, should..." the Third Princess hurriedly explained.

"What should it be?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

"Should they be suppressed by their subjects, manipulated by their subjects, and criticized without fighting back?"

With each word Emperor Kangwu spoke, the faces of the ministers in the hall grew paler.

They felt that His Majesty was making a veiled attack, and they had evidence to support their claim.

But... they dared not express themselves, dared not explain, and dared not refute.

They...still wanted to keep their heads!

"So, the royal family of Great Rui has become so humble." Emperor Kangwu rested his arm on the armrest of the dragon throne and smiled casually.

"I only found out today."

The officials in the hall were so frightened that they all knelt down with a thud.

Wei Yifeng felt a chill on his neck.

Because the person who questioned the dignity of the royal family and felt that the royal family could be arbitrarily instructed was his wife.

"Fourth Prince," Emperor Kangwu looked at the kneeling King of Wu, "tell me, why?"

King Wu was instantly covered in cold sweat. He finally understood why his father had summoned him to the palace.

So that's where he was waiting.

"Father, your son...does not know." Of course, the King of Wu could not admit it.

However, under the watchful gaze of his father, the emperor, he found it particularly difficult to utter these words.

"You don't know?" Emperor Kangwu laughed.

Qi Zhiyu interjected, "Grandfather, I think he's just pretending to be ignorant when he knows the truth."

"Jiang Shuyi has such audacity to slander me outside, isn't it all because she has powerful backers?"

"However, she has been expelled from the Jiang family and has no further connection with the Duke of Wei's mansion, so her only support now is her husband's family."

Qi Zhiyu's gaze swept over Wei Yifeng, and she chuckled, "The Wei family... they've lost their title, and they're only relying on Wei Yifeng to keep them afloat. Where do they get their confidence?"

"This confidence comes from the royal family."

The King of Wu quickly looked up, and in an instant, the extreme humiliation filled him with grief and indignation.

He was kneeling, while Qi Zhiyu was sitting!

A fire ignited within him, rising to his head: "Chen'an, I have not given the Wei family such confidence!"

"I have always been dutiful and will never do anything out of line, nor will I tolerate the Wei family!"

"Ah!" Qi Zhiyu exclaimed, covering her mouth. "If it's not you, then it can only be Consort De."

King of Wu: "?"

What is that?

How did his mother get involved?

"That's true. Consort De is an elder of the Wei family. It's perfectly normal for her to care for and indulge the younger generation of her own family." Qi Zhiyu nodded in agreement.

"I understand."

King of Wu: "..."

She doesn't understand a thing!

"Father, my mother absolutely did not condone the Wei family!" King Wu hurriedly clarified for his mother.

"That's strange then." Qi Zhiyu said, puzzled. "If it's not you, and it's not Consort De, then is it that the Wei family can't see their own position and is just using someone else's power to bully others?"

"In that case... the Wei family cannot be allowed to remain."

"Grandfather," Qi Zhiyu looked at Emperor Kangwu, "Wei Yifeng is still in the army. Although he doesn't have many soldiers, if things really get out of hand... the loss of soldiers and generals will be a loss for our Great Rui."

"It's the ordinary people who suffer."

Wei Yifeng's mind went blank for a moment.

No... what is Qi Zhiyu going to do?

How could the Wei family rebel in just a few words?

"Your Majesty, the Wei family is absolutely loyal to the court and to Your Majesty, and has no disloyal intentions whatsoever!" Wei Yifeng immediately kowtowed to express his loyalty.

He was afraid that if he spoke too late, his entire family would be executed!

"Eh...Eh...Eh..." Qi Zhiyu exclaimed in surprise, "It's not this, it's not that...What is it then?"

"King Wu, Wei Yifeng, you two have to give my imperial grandfather an explanation!"

"It can't be that Jiang Shuyi is mentally ill and insists on dragging you all down with her, can it?"

Qi Zhiyu decisively blocked their escape route: "If she really has such thoughts, and Wei Yifeng, you haven't seen through it all this time, then how exactly have you been leading your troops all these years?"

"Did you steal someone else's credit too?"

"Or perhaps they saw through her but still let her go out..."

"Are you trying to tear off Da Rui's face in front of Qi and trample it on the ground?"
