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

"Chen'an, how dare you!" the Third Princess shouted angrily.

"The King of Wu was also deceived; it's not your place to reprimand your elder!"

"Jinyi!" King Wu hurriedly called out.

Unfortunately, he finished speaking but couldn't stop the Third Princess.

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "Scammed?"

"King Wu...you invited court officials to witness this, and you also invited the Third Princess in a presumptuous attempt to use her status as the Queen Consort of Qi to put pressure on the Emperor."

"In the end, you were deceived..."

"With such a lack of rigor in your work, how can we entrust you with matters of state in the future?"

"Have you made many oversights in the things you've done in the past?"

"Grandfather, I think we should send someone to investigate thoroughly, so as to prevent any hidden dangers from harming the people and the country."

King of Wu: "!!!"

"Chen An, you did this on purpose!"

Qi Zhiyu probably heard rumors about him from the very beginning when he started making his plans.

Regardless of where she found out, Qi Zhiyu knew the truth.

Then, Qi Zhiyu went with the flow.

He wanted to use Zhou Ruobai to ruin Qi Zhiyu, but Qi Zhiyu turned the tables and used Zhou Ruobai against him!

He only invited a few officials, but Qi Zhiyu went directly to her father, the Emperor.

He asked someone to invite the Third Princess, but Qi Zhiyu invited Qi Yanhe instead.

"Qi Zhiyu, you are truly too wicked, deliberately setting a trap to harm me!" King Wu accused.

Qi Zhiyu couldn't help but applaud the King of Wu: "I actually really admire your shamelessness."

"How did my scheme harm you?"

"Why didn't you harm the King of Wu?" the Third Princess shouted, unable to contain herself.

"What's wrong with my husband? And why is he making that kind of noise!"

"What are you trying to mislead us about?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Third Princess, I did all this for you."

Qi Zhiyu looked at the Third Princess with a wounded expression: "When I saw your husband last time, I noticed that he had an old injury."

"After I got back, I did some research and then went to my grandfather and asked him to come out and treat his injuries."

"This is not because he is a prince of Qi, but entirely because he is your husband."

"Grandfather only invited him out because of you."

"As for why it wasn't in the palace... that's because it's a family matter, not a matter of state."

The Third Princess looked at Qi Yanhe: "Really?"

Qi Yanhe knew he had been set up.

However, at this point, he could only tell the truth, since the King of Wu hadn't informed him in the first place!

"Of course," Qi Yanhe nodded.

"Why are you tied to the bed to treat your injuries?" the Third Princess questioned.

"Also, Zhou Ruobai's clothes are messy."

"It hurt during the treatment, and he struggled, so Zhou Ruobai restrained him. That's how his clothes got torn," Qi Zhiyu explained.

"As for the sound you mentioned... he's in pain, so what's wrong with him groaning a few times?"

Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled, "Why would you even think of something like that?"

Then she laughed: "King Wu, you just want something to happen between Zhou Ruobai and me so you can catch us in the act, right?"

Before the King of Wu could decide what to say, his vision blurred, and in the next instant, he was grabbed by the collar and pulled up from the ground.

Prince Rui's face was ashen, and he raised his hand and punched King Wu hard in the abdomen.

The King of Wu was in so much pain that his face contorted and his mouth gaped open.

The pain was so intense that he couldn't even cry out.

"Fourth Prince, that's my daughter, and also your niece. How could you be so cruel!" Prince Rui gritted his teeth and glared at Prince Wu.

The King of Wu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Prince Rui snorted coldly, loosened his grip, and Prince Wu fell to the ground like a lump of mud.

He curled up in pain, only able to hear Prince Rui's cold voice saying, "Fourth brother, don't blame me for not showing brotherly affection in the future."

The King of Wu trembled all over in pain.

That bastard Rui Wang!

When has Prince Rui ever considered brotherly affection?

If you really care about him, why would you compete with him for the position of crown prince?

"Fourth Prince, I will arrange for someone to handle some of the matters you are dealing with," Emperor Kangwu said.

King Wu looked up in astonishment. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his body, he hurriedly cried out, "Father, I can handle this."

Emperor Kangwu said nothing, but simply stared at him intently.

King Wu's heart clenched under Emperor Kangwu's gaze. He opened his mouth, then stammered, "Father..."

Emperor Kangwu ignored him and stood up directly: "Chen'an, I'm leaving."

"Yes." Qi Zhiyu responded crisply, called out to Zhou Ruobai, and left with her people.

The ministers and their wives all quietly slipped away.

Given the current situation, they are truly afraid that the King of Wu will take his anger out on them.

"Is Chen'an really treating your injuries?" The Third Princess was most worried about her man.

If he really has something going on with Qi Zhiyu, she will definitely not let Qi Zhiyu off the hook!

"Really." Qi Yanhe glanced at the King of Wu, who was slumped on the ground as if his bones had been pulled out.

He gently coaxed the third princess, "Let's go back first."

"But..." The Third Princess still had many questions, but Qi Yanhe understood her best and coaxed her away in just a few words.

At this moment, only King Wu and Lord Zhou remained in the side room.

Lord Zhou actually wanted to leave earlier.

But his intuition told him he couldn't leave.

Otherwise, something really bad will happen.

"Didn't you say Zhou Ruobai agreed?" King Wu asked in a low voice.

"You said Zhou Ruobai wouldn't dare disobey you."

The King of Wu's voice was hoarse and flat, revealing no emotion.

Lord Zhou was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I... I don't know why he suddenly acted like this."

"He's always been very concerned about his aunt!"

"His aunt's indenture is still in my possession."

King Wu suddenly laughed: "Qi Zhiyu, Qi Zhiyu...you're doing very well!"

So, she was waiting for him here!

Initially, he wanted to use Zhou Ruobai to ruin Qi Zhiyu's reputation.

However, his father's indulgence resolved the issue.

That matter was already in the past.

He's just waiting for things to cool down before taking advantage of them.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly... Qi Zhiyu had already foreseen this.

Also.

Qi Zhiyu arranged for people to stay in an outside house, so how could she so easily allow outsiders to contact Zhou Ruobai?

Qi Zhiyu surprisingly didn't send anyone to protect Zhou Ruobai.

He thought Qi Zhiyu wasn't paying attention to Zhou Ruobai, but it turned out... this was bait that Qi Zhiyu deliberately laid out, waiting for him to take the bait.

How did Qi Zhiyu come up with the idea that he would use Zhou Ruobai?

"Does this... require thought?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Emperor Kangwu, who had asked the question, with a puzzled expression.

"Anyway, Zhou Ruobai is just sitting there, so I might as well make use of him."

"If the King of Wu doesn't do anything, Zhou Ruobai will be fine. But if they do, I'll deal with it while I'm at it."

Qi Zhiyu's puzzled expression left Grand Secretary Zhang speechless.

Suddenly, it seemed that the intrigues and power struggles in the imperial court were just like child's play in Princess Chen'an's eyes.

Who exactly is Princess Chen'an?
