He didn't want to get involved in the struggle for the crown prince position in Da Rui; rather, he felt sorry for his queen and had no other choice but to do so.

"Let's go, let's go find King Wu quickly." The Third Princess was an impatient girl who would do whatever came to mind.

Qi Yanhe stopped him, saying, "This matter needs careful consideration; we can't rush it."

"I am going to help the King of Wu ascend the throne, entirely because of you."

"I can't let you get hurt."

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess felt a surge of joy. All her previous doubts and frustrations vanished instantly, like snowflakes in the sunlight.

"Okay, whatever you say." The Third Princess felt a sweet warmth in her heart, a stark contrast to the madwoman who had just gone berserk and smashed everything in the house.

Qi Yanhe had his own plans; he wouldn't take the initiative to go to the King of Wu.

If the King of Wu wants his help, then the King of Wu has to beg him.

Only by adopting a superior attitude can he obtain the greatest benefit from the King of Wu.

Only by driving the King of Wu into a corner can it be easier for him to act.

At this moment, the King of Wu was also calmly analyzing the current situation.

No matter what they do, they won't disrupt Qi Zhiyu's pace of doing things.

"...That's the situation." Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, then asked, "Who's going to handle things over there?"

"I'll do it," Princess Rui said with a smile.

"Over the years, I have been helping impoverished people."

"I have people stationed in various places to distribute life-saving supplies to people in need."

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow: "Mom...you've cast a wide net."

They have outposts all over Da Rui, which means it's easy to gather intelligence from various places.

Moreover, even if her mother arranged for them, it's impossible for them all to be from the capital. If she needed to find people, they would have to be locals.

These are like nails driven into various parts of Da Rui; when the time comes, they will become sharp swords.

With just a command, dots instantly form lines, and lines form a network.

No matter where the incident occurs, they can coordinate with each other from all sides to encircle the enemy.

Princess Rui covered her mouth and chuckled: "I'm just a woman, I don't understand the affairs of the court."

"I was just thinking about accumulating good fortune for my family."

That's why I've been consistently donating some money to do charity work.

"It's just that it's been around for a long time, so it's found in various places."

Qi Zhiyu nodded knowingly: "Gaining a good reputation while also cultivating one's own power and informants..."

"Mother, my father is so lucky to have married you."

Princess Rui smiled gently: "What's the point of making or not making money?"

"With my status... I'm out of your league."

Qi Zhiyu looked at Prince Rui: "Father, you knew my mother was intelligent before you married her, didn't you?"

Prince Rui smiled and said, "I like your mother's personality; we share similar interests. As for social status... that's not important."

"We really have similar interests; we're both so calculating," Qi Jingxi muttered unconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted the attention of his family.

Qi Jingxi blinked and raised her hand directly: "No need to bother, I can do it myself."

As he spoke, he slapped his head.

Qi Zhiyu burst out laughing: "Second brother, you knew you were going to get beaten, so why did you say it?"

"Your hobby is a bit unusual."

He likes to get beaten up... What a strange hobby.

"Who likes it?" Qi Jingxi protested.

Even if it's your favorite little sister, you can't say that.

He felt so wronged.

"I'm just straightforward and outspoken; I say whatever comes to mind," Qi Jingxi sighed helplessly.

Qi Jingchen concluded: "It's just a matter of owing."

Prince Rui and his wife, along with Qi Zhiyu, burst into laughter.

Qi Jingxi stared at Qi Jingchen resentfully: "Big brother... are we still brothers?"

Is their brotherhood really that weak?

"Alright, stop fooling around," said Prince Rui.

"Your mother has taken over the task of finding witnesses and evidence outside."

"Now all matters concerning the King of Wu will be transferred to my side, so you two shouldn't be idle..."

He was to take over the affairs of the King of Wu, and he not only had to take them over steadily, but also do them well.

This has just been handed over to him; the King of Wu will surely try to trip him up.

He cannot allow any accidents to happen.

"Dad, don't worry!" Qi Jingxi patted his chest, confidently assuring everyone, "Big brother can definitely handle it!"

Prince Rui: "..."

Qi Jingchen: "..."

Princess Rui sighed helplessly. What on earth had she given birth to?

Qi Zhiyu couldn't stop laughing.

Prince Rui slapped him across the face: "What does your older brother want to do that you need to guarantee?"

"Stop shirking your responsibilities!"

Qi Jingxi covered the back of her head with tears in her eyes.

Is being the second child really such a bullying thing?

People say that the middle child in a family is the least favored.

He hadn't understood it before, but now he does.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Prince Rui kicked him. "Go do what you were supposed to do!"

Qi Jingxi stumbled from the kick and ran away in a flash.

Prince Rui was furious: "When will this brat ever behave?"

Qi Jingchen said with a smile, "The second brother just loves to crack jokes."

This is their family's source of joy.

Qi Zhiyu sat to the side, feeling exceptionally comfortable.

She likes the atmosphere at home.

For the second brother to develop such a personality within the royal family shows how relaxed their family life must be.

It's definitely not the kind of family where people scheme against each other and fight for fame and fortune.

"Father, Mother, I'm going back now." Qi Zhiyu stood up.

She had said everything she needed to say, and her father and the others knew what to do next.

She stopped getting involved in what happened after that.

"Go back and rest, you're exhausted," Princess Rui said with concern.

It's heartbreaking to see her daughter, who is so young, have to shoulder so much.

After Qi Zhiyu left, Princess Rui said angrily, "The Prince of Wu and the others are all grown men, yet they only know how to bully our Yu'er. They have no shame!"

Is it fun for adults to bully children?

Prince Rui wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, shameless!"

"This time, I'm going to wipe out all of the fourth brother's influence."

Qi Jingchen nodded in unison, "Father, I'll assist."

"Okay," Prince Rui readily agreed.

"I'm afraid you'll have to work hard." Prince Rui looked at Princess Rui, his eyes filled with worry and heartache. "You need to go and find evidence against the Zhou family."

"It's not hard work," Princess Rui said with a light laugh. "Yu'er already gave me directions."

"But you should be careful that the King of Wu doesn't try to trip you up."

Prince Rui gazed at his wife, his eyes filled with deep affection.

Qi Jingchen: "..."

No, has anyone noticed him?

He's still here.

Just as Qi Jingchen was about to cough to attract his parents' attention, Qi Jingxi suddenly ran in from outside, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him out.

Qi Jingxi didn't stop until she reached the garden.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Qi Jingchen asked, bewildered.

Qi Jingxi: "Big brother, you should have left quietly back then. You have no sense at all! I'm truly impressed by you."

Qi Jingchen raised an eyebrow: "You seem to know everything. You deserved to get beaten up."

Qi Jingxi: "...No good deed goes unpunished, huh?"
