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

Emperor Kangwu laughed heartily: "Indeed, a rigorous review is necessary."

Although Emperor Kangwu did not specify how to punish the man, the minister's face had turned completely pale, and he was trembling with fear, sweating profusely.

He knew that with His Majesty's words, his path to promotion was completely over.

Because of him, His Majesty felt that all official selections should be strictly reviewed, and who would dare to promote him in the future?

Let alone a promotion, even working with him is just working together; I would never get close to him.

In the future, he will be quickly isolated, distanced from this circle, and may even be transferred out.

He regretted it.

If he had known that standing up for the King of Wu and questioning the King of Rui would have such consequences, he would never have stood up and raised the question.

But... there's no medicine for regret in this world.

Everyone in the court looked at Qi Zhiyu.

Each one of them was deeply shocked.

As expected of Princess Chen'an.

They are vengeful and will seek revenge for even the smallest wrongdoing.

They all understand why that person stood up to raise questions.

He was a follower of the King of Wu.

Now that the King of Wu is not appearing in court, it is naturally the King of Wu's faction that is going to exert its influence.

Unfortunately, their opponent was Princess Chen'an.

If it were Prince Rui, his methods would likely be much gentler.

However, when it came to Princess Chen'an, she stood out, but was she suppressed?

Do not!

Just kill him!

With just a few words, he ruined that man's future career and cut off one of King Wu's supporters.

If we're talking about ruthlessness, Princess Chen'an has to be it.

Any minister who didn't want to betray the country would know that Qi Zhiyu's proposal was a good thing.

Emperor Kangwu asked everyone to brainstorm and come up with simple and practical things that could be passed on to the people. All of these ideas were arranged and then performed by the opera troupes for the people.

"Grandfather," Qi Zhiyu said, "actually, it's just a theatrical troupe, not enough."

"We can arrange some acrobats to attract the public's interest, and then explain the useful things to them."

"Actually, I think that some people from brothels could be allowed to do these things."

"Those who want to buy their freedom can also go and promote these things."

"If someone doesn't want to buy their freedom, then we won't force them."

Grand Secretary Zhang gave Qi Zhiyu a deep look. Princess Chen'an could be ruthless when she wanted to, but her heart... was also soft.

This is about finding a way for those people to survive.

"Chen'an is right," Emperor Kangwu said with a smile.

His granddaughter is a kind-hearted girl.

The people of Prince Rui's faction stood tall with pride.

The neutral ministers sighed inwardly, thinking that King Wu was no match for King Rui in any way.

Even those from the Wu King's faction looked at Qi Zhiyu with complicated emotions.

Among them, Lord Zhou is the most different.

His face looked extremely pale.

Grand Secretary Zhang naturally noticed this and understood the situation.

It seems that the King of Wu is about to make a move, and one part of it involves Lord Zhou.

Are those rumors circulating outside really just spread by the King of Wu and his followers?

Grand Secretary Zhang looked at the calm Prince Rui. Could it be that Prince Rui's mansion was involved in stirring things up?

King Wu has used Zhou Ruobai to his advantage several times already. Given Princess Chen'an's temper... can she really keep enduring without retaliating?

It's obvious that it's impossible.

So, is Princess Chen'an going to close the net today?

Although Grand Secretary Zhang had no evidence, he had this feeling.

Otherwise, why would the Prince Rui's Mansion allow rumors to spread and slander Princess Chen'an?

Just then, a eunuch came in to report that the Third Princess was requesting an audience.

Emperor Kangwu smiled slightly and granted his request.

After the Third Princess entered, she paid her respects to Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu told her to rise, then asked, "Jinyi, what brings you to the palace?"

"Father, rumors are spreading in the capital lately. I think we can't let this matter drag on any longer." As soon as the Third Princess finished speaking, someone gasped.

The third princess seemed a bit strange.

However, she did not look around, but stared fixedly at Emperor Kangwu.

She knew that Qi Zhiyu had entered the palace, which is why she rushed over immediately.

Qi Zhiyu just happened to be here, so let's have a confrontation on the spot.

This time, she wanted to see how her father would still favor Qi Zhiyu!

Emperor Kangwu glanced at Qi Zhiyu, his eyes full of amusement.

Qi Zhiyu sat there nonchalantly, as if the person involved wasn't her, as the Third Princess had said.

Emperor Kangwu sighed softly to himself.

How can these people compare to Chen An?

While they were making their plans, Chen An was going with the flow.

When they were about to close the net, Chen An had already blocked their escape route.

"What rumors?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

The third princess was furious when she heard this.

My father is so biased.

With the rumors circulating so widely, how could Father not know?

Doesn't the Emperor usually favor Qi Zhiyu?

If Father had heard even the slightest rumor about Qi Zhiyu, wouldn't he have investigated it thoroughly?

Father is just pretending to be stupid, trying to gloss over this matter.

Unfortunately, she won't let them have their way!

"Father, you don't know yet, do you? Chen'an snatched two actors from the opera troupe!" The Third Princess glanced at Qi Zhiyu, who was sitting down.

Isn't it just that Father Emperor dotes on Qi Zhiyu?

Look, all the civil and military officials are standing, except for Qi Zhiyu who is sitting!

Why is Qi Zhiyu so special?

"Father, Chen'an is far too arrogant," the Third Princess complained.

"Even if you agree to her keeping male lovers, you can't just snatch them away like this, can you?"

"If Zhou Ruobai's misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, then what about the actors in this opera troupe?"

"What do you all think, gentlemen?" the Third Princess called out, seeking the approval of others.

After all, she had amplified the rumors circulating outside.

If Father Emperor does not handle this properly and does not punish Qi Zhiyu, how will the people view the royal family and the court?

Now that Prince Rui has gained power, can Qi Zhiyu act so recklessly?

If Prince Rui becomes the crown prince in the future, how arrogant will his children be?

If he can't even discipline his own children, what right does Prince Rui have to sit in that position?

If he were to inherit the throne... how could the people possibly agree?

The third princess was extremely pleased with herself.

Emperor Kangwu felt a pang of pain in his eyes when he saw the Third Princess's smug smile.

With that little brain, can't you just stay out of it?

He was so embarrassed for her!

Emperor Kangwu's expression was truly indescribable. The Third Princess thought that her father still wanted to protect Qi Zhiyu.

"Father, this matter must be resolved, otherwise, serious consequences will ensue!" the Third Princess declared emphatically. "I beg Father to severely punish Chen An!"

Qi Zhiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing; she could see her grandfather's helplessness and embarrassment.

He probably doesn't want to admit that the third princess is his daughter.

After all, being that stupid is truly shameful.

"Third Princess, are these the two people you mentioned that I forcibly took?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile.
