"Grand Secretary Zhang," Emperor Kangwu began.

Grand Secretary Zhang immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty."

"I entrust this matter to you," Emperor Kangwu instructed.

"Yes." Grand Secretary Zhang's eyes lit up.

What a rip-off... no, what an infuriating thing.

What does the Qi royal family want to do by marrying their princess to the Da Rui?

"Your Majesty..." Qi Yanhe still wanted to struggle a little more.

How could Qi Zhiyu possibly give him that chance?

"Qi Yanhe, even if you like the Third Princess too much, you shouldn't spoil her to the point that she doesn't know what's important and can't distinguish right from wrong," Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"As a royal woman and a member of the royal family, she absolutely cannot abandon the rules and bottom lines that should be followed."

"If you weren't blinded by love, then then..."

"It's my fault!" Qi Yanhe shouted quickly.

He took all the blame upon himself.

What else can he do?

Are you suggesting we tell Da Rui that the Qi Kingdom royal family deliberately spoiled their third princess into such a brainless idiot?

Emperor Kangwu might not feel sorry for the Third Princess, but the face of the Great Rui royal family absolutely could not be lost.

If it was done by the royal family of Qi Kingdom... then the two countries will inevitably go to war.

The consequences of this are something he cannot bear.

Qi Zhiyu sighed, "Qi Kingdom actually put a prince like you, whose mind is full of love, in such an important position... Qi Kingdom, you really are an eye-opener."

Qi Yanhe suddenly looked up.

What does Qi Zhiyu mean?

They've already screwed him over, and now they want to crush him even further?

Emperor Kangwu nodded: "I will definitely find out the truth."

Qi Yan stumbled.

The letter sent by Emperor Kangwu, so formally stamped with the imperial seal, is meant to highlight his lack of virtue and the fact that he was unworthy of his position.

How should he conduct himself in the State of Qi?

"Jinyi, you should thank Chen'an this time," Emperor Kangwu said in a deep voice.

"If it weren't for her, you would have become a laughing stock in the temple."

"If she hadn't reported it immediately, the matter wouldn't have been contained within a certain scope and kept from spreading."

"If outsiders find out, it will damage the reputation of both countries."

"When that time comes... what will you do?"

The third princess looked up in shock, realizing the unspoken meaning in her father's words.

As a princess who had caused both countries to lose face, she had no choice but to atone with her death.

She...she just wanted to put Qi Zhiyu down, how...how could she almost hang herself?

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Grandfather, thankfully everything is under control."

"I believe that you gentlemen are not talkative people, and your families are even more aware of the importance of being careful with your words and actions."

"After all, if war breaks out between the two countries, it will not benefit anyone. No one wants to live a peaceful life and instead want to be displaced to escape war."

The officials in the hall hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

They would never say a word.

Once he gets back, he will definitely make his wife and daughter shut up.

Any servants who followed us and couldn't keep their mouths shut... kill them!

We must not allow a small mistake to ignite a major war between the two countries.

The consequences of that are absolutely beyond their ability to bear.

"Chen'an, we really owe you a lot this time." Emperor Kangwu laughed heartily.

"It is my duty to share the burdens of my grandfather," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Good, good!" Emperor Kangwu clapped his hands and laughed. "How wonderful it would be if there were more understanding people like you."

"Unfortunately, no one can replace my Chen'an."

The King of Wu was no longer shocked by these words.

I'm numb.

He always felt that he was playing a game of chess, but in the end, he realized that from the initial layout to the final move, everything was under Qi Zhiyu's control.

All his actions ultimately led to a situation favorable to Qi Zhiyu... Is that right?

"Grandfather, I'm tired, I'll head back now." Qi Zhiyu stood up.

"Alright, go ahead." Emperor Kangwu smiled with such kindness.

One look at the doting look in his smile—it's a natural expression of his heart, something he can't fake.

He truly loves his granddaughter, Chen'an.

Qi Zhiyu curtsied and left immediately.

She has finished everything she was supposed to do here.

The rest is up to others to clean up.

She wouldn't do that kind of work.

No sooner had Qi Zhiyu left than Emperor Kangwu ordered people to prepare a reward.

The third princess listened blankly, her mind a complete mess, but she still couldn't understand.

She was the one who was scolded, she was the one who lost face in public, and even the marital relationship she had trusted so much for so many years had cracked. She was still the one whose heart was breaking.

On the contrary, Qi Zhiyu suffered no losses whatsoever.

Qi Zhiyu established her authority by stepping on her in front of everyone.

He even went to his father, the emperor, to complain that they had been cheated out of the treasures they had brought from the Qi Kingdom.

Finally... the Emperor also wanted to bestow lavish rewards upon Qi Zhiyu.

What's the logic behind this?

The Third Princess couldn't understand it, and Emperor Kangwu didn't want to see her thinking about it there.

He still has work to do.

Emperor Kangwu kept Grand Secretary Zhang and a few other relevant ministers, dismissing everyone else.

He really needs to have a good talk with the King of Qi.

How did his perfectly good princess become like this?

If the King of Qi cannot show sincerity, this matter is far from over!

King Wu walked out in a daze. When he was almost at the palace gate, he saw King Rui walking steadily towards him.

King Wu suddenly stopped and stared straight at King Rui.

When Prince Rui saw him, he smiled slightly and nodded, which was considered a greeting.

Subsequently, King Rui and King Wu passed each other by.

As Prince Rui walked, the breeze he stirred was so cool that it made King Wu shiver violently, instantly clearing his muddled mind.

"Your Majesty!" King Wu turned around quickly and called out.

Prince Rui stopped, turned around, and asked with a friendly smile, "What is it?"

Prince Rui's gentle and polite demeanor disgusted King Wu: "Brother, you must be quite pleased with yourself, right?"

Prince Rui asked, bewildered, "What do you mean by this?"

"If my father has any important matters, he will consult you," King Wu sneered. "As for me, I don't even have the right to participate."

Prince Rui sighed: "Fourth brother, don't think like that."

"I don't think so. What do I think?" King Wu exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Father is biased. Do you dare say Father doesn't favor you?"

"Do you dare?"

Prince Rui remained silent.

His silence prompted the King of Wu to give the King of Rui a cold look, followed by an exaggerated sneer: "Nothing to say?"

The King of Wu's eyes held a profound understanding that saw through everything.

Did Prince Rui want to fool him?

dream!

He's not stupid!

"I told you not to think that way. It's not that Father Emperor isn't biased," Prince Rui sighed and said slowly.

What I'm trying to say is, if you're not capable enough, don't think about things that are beyond your capabilities.

King Wu stared at King Rui in disbelief.

He couldn't understand how Prince Rui could say such vicious things.

"Me? Not capable enough?" King Wu pointed to his own nose and questioned.
