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

In response to Qi Jingxi, Qi Jingchen reached out and forcefully ruffled his hair.

The action was like petting a dog.

Qi Jingxi slapped Qi Jingchen's hand away: "Get your hands off me!"

"I'm not a dog!"

Qi Jingchen laughed heartily: "Let's go, let's discuss how we can coordinate in the back."

"Oh," Qi Jingxi replied weakly. "So tired."

"Brother, when you become that king, you should have lots of kids, and I'll just be a carefree prince."

Qi Jingchen's face turned green, and he slapped Qi Jingxi on the back of the head, making Qi Jingxi stagger.

"You hit me again!" Qi Jingxi shouted angrily. "Sooner or later, you guys will beat me senseless!"

Qi Jingchen ignored him and dragged him into the study by the collar.

Qi Jingxi was "forced" to work hard, even while "cursing and swearing".

Among all the noble families in the entire Prince Rui's Mansion—or rather, the entire capital—Qi Zhiyu was the most leisurely person.

She sat in the recliner, swaying slowly, gazing at the sky.

While others only see the white clouds slowly moving across the sky, Qi Zhiyu is looking at destiny.

The King of Wu's fortune has indeed been greatly diminished, but it's not enough to immediately crush him.

Moreover, she doesn't want to kill King Wu right now.

Since the King of Wu was ambitious and favored by Heaven, he always wanted that position.

As long as he hasn't given up on the throne, he will try every means to find help to fight for it.

At that time, there will always be those restless people who want to contact the King of Wu.

In that case... she would have a legitimate reason to attack other countries.

After all, when nations rashly start a war, they always need a reasonable reason, right?

She wants the benefits.

She wants fame too!

The King of Wu... is quite adorable; she's starting to like him a little.

Qi Zhiyu sorted everything out in her mind, and felt relaxed and at ease.

On the contrary, the maid next to him was nervously swallowing.

What is the princess thinking?

That smile...why is it a little...frightening?

Even though the weather wasn't cold, she felt a chill run through her body. The faint smile on the princess's lips was so eerie.

King Wu handed over all his affairs to King Rui, which should have taken at least a few days.

Because many things also involve a lot of details.

If those things aren't explained clearly, it will be very troublesome to deal with them later.

However, the King of Wu only gave the King of Rui a general overview of the matter.

"Brother, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me," the King of Wu said with a smile.

Whenever Prince Rui asks, he can take the opportunity to make things difficult for him.

Then he could show his father that his most favored son was nothing special.

Prince Rui smiled sheepishly and said, "Okay."

"If I need anything, I'll have to trouble you again."

Just as King Wu was about to nod, he heard King Rui continue, "When the time comes, Fourth Prince, don't mind if I disturb your peace and quiet."

"You've been busy for so many years, it's not easy for you to take a break. If it's not absolutely necessary, I'll try not to visit you."

The King of Wu's face darkened: "Brother, are you mocking me?"

Prince Rui asked, puzzled, "Fourth Prince, why would you think that?"

"And... what did I say?"

The King of Wu sneered, "If my royal brother wants this kind of tranquility, I can trade with you."

Unlike the cold face of the King of Wu, the King of Rui smiled very gently, clearly a caring older brother: "Fourth brother, if you want that position, at least you need to temper your character properly."

"Look, in all these years since I was no longer the crown prince, have I been as impatient as you?"

The King of Wu's eyes darkened, a cold, menacing light flickering within them: "Is my royal brother taking revenge on me?"

"Revenge?" Prince Rui laughed and waved his hand. "It won't come to that."

The King of Wu didn't believe it at all: "Brother, you're always putting on an act, always putting on a gentle and peaceful appearance."

"But I know best that your so-called gentlemanly demeanor is all an act."

Prince Rui sighed and said helplessly, "Fourth brother, you've really misunderstood me."

King Wu stared coldly at King Rui, not believing a single word King Rui said.

If his position were switched with Prince Rui's, he would definitely take revenge on Prince Rui severely.

After all, his position as crown prince had been taken from him for so many years. Now that he had finally suppressed his rival, how could he not take revenge and vent his anger?

Looking at the furious King Wu, Prince Rui said with a mix of amusement and sincerity, "Fourth Prince, it really doesn't have to be this bad."

"You really don't deserve to make me waste my energy on revenge; it's pointless."

King of Wu: "!!!"

He suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and a faint taste of blood rose in his mouth.

King Wu staggered back two steps, his calf hitting the chair, and with a thud, he fell directly into the chair.

humiliation!

This is a blatant and undisguised humiliation!

In Prince Rui's eyes, he didn't even deserve to be retaliated against.

"You've gone too far!" King Wu shouted hysterically.

Their voices were all hoarse, as if they had been sanded, and sounded awful.

Prince Rui frowned slightly, his face full of innocence, and looked at Prince Wu with sincere eyes: "Fourth Prince, you really have a bad temper."

"See, you get angry just because I'm telling the truth... Sigh..."

"Fortunately, Father has allowed you to rest for a while. Take good care of yourself and cultivate your mind and body."

"After all, getting angry is bad for your health, and Father is doing this for your own good."

No sooner had King Rui finished speaking than King Wu threw a punch at him.

Prince Rui caught it steadily, and then kicked Prince Wu hard in the stomach.

Prince Rui didn't hold back at all when he kicked.

The King of Wu was in so much pain that the color drained from his face instantly, and his features contorted so that his mouth gaped open.

But because it hurt so much, he couldn't even cry out in pain.

As soon as King Rui let go, King Wu collapsed heavily to the ground.

Prince Rui sighed softly: "Force won't work. Neither will the methods."

"Fourth brother, if I were you, I wouldn't covet things that don't belong to me."

"You need to understand that things beyond your capabilities cannot be forced."

"If you insist on going against the will of Heaven, the final consequences will be something you cannot bear."

The King of Wu gripped the ground so tightly that his fingertips turned white from the extreme force.

He gritted his teeth, straining to lift his head and staring intently at Prince Rui.

If the hatred in his eyes were real, Prince Rui would probably have been torn to pieces long ago.

Prince Rui merely smiled at such extreme hatred, then turned and left without being affected at all.

The news of the handover between Prince Rui and Prince Wu was quickly reported to Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu waved his hand, dismissing the others, and then glanced at Grand Secretary Zhang, clearly asking for his opinion silently.
