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

In the current situation, if Qi Yanhe sends something perfunctory, it will only make things more disadvantageous for the Qi Kingdom.

Qi Zhiyu picked out a few items and had her maid deliver them to her parents and brothers.

She put the rest in the warehouse and left them to their own devices.

She continued idly reading the storybook.

However, after only two days of such leisurely living, Qi Zhiyu took a carriage to the manor in the suburbs.

It must be said that this manor is exceptionally tranquil.

It was also a place for high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital to spend their leisure time.

This estate covers a large area and is divided into different courtyards.

The entrances and exits are all different.

In other words, people in different courtyards can enter and exit without encountering guests from other courtyards, as long as they don't want to.

This place offers excellent privacy.

Therefore, some noble ladies in the capital also like to gather here.

No need to worry about being bumped into by a stranger.

However, an unexpected incident occurred at this manor today.

A large group of people were about to barge into someone else's yard.

"Halt!" The guards at the courtyard gate drew their swords and blocked the crowd.

"Thieves have broken into the manor. We would be grateful if you could do us the favor of searching the place, so as not to disturb your esteemed guests," a servant in the manor called out.

The guard remained unmoved: "No thieves have broken in here."

"Leave immediately, or you'll face consequences you can't afford!"

"My lords, it really is a thief! He has already injured other distinguished guests," the manor waiter said anxiously.

The guard's face darkened: "Princess Chen'an is here. If you dare to act insolently again, seize you all!"

The manor waiter was startled and dared not speak again.

"Is Chen'an here too?" King Wu walked over, his face full of worry.

The guards of Prince Rui's residence naturally bowed respectfully to Prince Wu.

"Quickly inform Chen'an that this place is not safe," said the King of Wu. "I am injured."

The guards naturally saw the blood-stained bandage on King Wu's arm, but they wouldn't step aside to let King Wu and his entourage in.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will go in and report to the Princess right away," the guard said, bowing his head.

"Take a few more people with you," King Wu said, still worried.

"The thief who injured me ran in this direction. If you are the only ones here, it may not be safe."

Just then, a sharp scream suddenly came from the courtyard.

The guards at the gate changed their expressions drastically. Without thinking of anything else, they turned around and rushed into the courtyard.

The King of Wu exclaimed in alarm, "This is bad!"

"Quickly, follow me inside to capture the thieves and protect Chen'an!"

The King of Wu, accompanied by his guards, rushed in.

The other adults stood at the door, looking at each other, unsure whether they should follow them inside.

"Please don't let anything happen to the princess again, will you?" Lord Zhou muttered softly, full of worry.

Grand Secretary Zhang glanced at Lord Zhou and said with a smile, "In that case, let's go in and take a look together."

Lord Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Isn't it inappropriate to just casually enter the princess's courtyard?"

Grand Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "The princess's safety is the most important thing."

After saying that, he stepped inside.

He knew that the King of Wu's invitation to him was definitely not for anything good.

They're using him as a witness.

Did King Wu not consider the consequences of using him like this?

After Grand Secretary Zhang went inside, Lord Zhou hurriedly followed.

His hurried manner showed no trace of the hesitation he had shown moments before.

Clearly, he was very eager to get started.

"Chen'an, open the door, open the door quickly!" King Wu stood at the door of the side room, pounding on the door panel.

"The door is tightly shut; something must have happened to Chen'an," the King of Wu muttered to himself.

"King Wu, what's wrong?" The Third Princess also came over with a group of female relatives.

She was simply invited to have a small get-together with some old friends.

Unexpectedly, I heard that the King of Wu was injured and that there were thieves involved.

She led her people halfway there before realizing that the King of Wu had entered this courtyard.

"Chen'an is inside, and the door is locked from the inside." King Wu was extremely anxious. "There must be a thief inside."

"Chen'an is in danger!"

The third princess's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Danger?

It would be best if Qi Zhiyu died inside!

If it weren't for Qi Zhiyu, she wouldn't have been so unhappy these days!

"Your Highness, my princess will be safe inside," explained a maid from the Prince Rui's residence.

"If there is no danger, why not open the door?" King Wu questioned.

"That's because..." The maid was about to explain when a soft, ambiguous moan suddenly rang out from inside the room, and it was a man's voice.

This sound immediately made the Third Princess blush.

She's married and has children; that kind of voice is really...

"What on earth is Chen'an doing in there?" The Third Princess was furious.

There was a hint of smugness mixed with his anger.

Qi Zhiyu was caught red-handed. Let's see how Qi Zhiyu explains herself.

Even though the Emperor allowed Qi Zhiyu to keep male concubines in the future, he didn't say that Qi Zhiyu should play such a frivolous game.

Does she just casually sleep with any man outside the home?

This is a disgrace to the royal family!

"The princess is here..." Before the maid from Prince Rui's mansion could finish speaking, the Third Princess couldn't wait any longer.

"Someone, break down the door!" the Third Princess ordered directly.

"No, you can't..." The maids of Prince Rui's mansion hurriedly stopped them.

"Insolence!" the Third Princess roared. "How dare you disobey orders?"

"Break him open!" King Wu said coldly. "That scoundrel dared to commit such an act against Chen'an! If I catch him, I will tear him to pieces!"

The guards brought by the King of Wu immediately rushed forward, but the guards from the Prince of Rui's residence naturally objected and went to stop them.

The number of men that the Prince of Wu brought was about the same as the number of men from the Prince of Rui's residence, but he also had the help of the Third Princess.

They still have the upper hand in terms of numbers.

The people from Prince Rui's residence wanted to stop them, but they couldn't.

Just as the two sides met, the door to the side room creaked open.

Qi Zhiyu stood inside the door, watching the farce unfold outside with a half-smile: "King Wu, Third Princess, have you two been too idle lately?"

"You think you can control everything, especially not me?"

"Chen'an, are you alright?" King Wu asked in surprise.

The Third Princess's gaze lingered on Qi Zhiyu, as she wanted to find a flaw in Qi Zhiyu's clothes.

Was it put on in a hurry?

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused.

"King Wu, you've brought so many people here in such a grand manner, isn't that intentional?"

Qi Zhiyu didn't question it at all; she affirmed it.

"Chen'an, what do you mean by this?" King Wu frowned. "If I weren't afraid you'd be harmed by thieves, I wouldn't have..."

"King Wu, do you know that I can tell whether this wound is real or fake?" Qi Zhiyu interrupted King Wu.

Then, she flicked her finger, and a gust of wind swept by, instantly breaking the bandage on King Wu's arm.

The blood-stained bandages fell to the ground, revealing his perfectly intact sleeve.
