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

The Third Princess followed Qi Zhiyu's finger and noticed two people standing in an inconspicuous spot next to her; they were the actors she had mentioned.

The third princess frowned, then immediately understood.

Is Qi Zhiyu playing these kinds of tricks?

How utterly disgusting!

The Third Princess smiled, a smug smile that seemed to see through everything, carrying a condescending air: "Chen'an, did you hear too many rumors outside and, knowing you couldn't suppress them, bring this person into the palace?"

"What? Are you still trying to say that this is just to amuse Father?"

Many people in the hall silently bowed their heads.

That's what they were thinking just now too.

However... the reality made them feel ashamed.

They underestimated Princess Chen'an.

"Father, don't believe her!" The Third Princess looked at Emperor Kangwu and said loudly.

She was worried that her father might be biased and do something wrong.

"Now that the people are full of complaints, she had no choice but to send the person to the palace." After the Third Princess finished speaking, she turned her head and glared at Qi Zhiyu.

"Chen'an, you can't clean up your own mess, so you come to your father to bail you out?"

"You have absolutely no shame!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Kangwu shouted.

That was unusually harsh.

Normally, Emperor Kangwu was imposing without being angry; his calm tone was enough to demonstrate his imperial power.

However, it was clear from this sound that Emperor Kangwu was angry.

The third princess felt a chill run down her spine.

Father, the Emperor is angry.

Then, a feeling of grievance quickly replaced the fear in the Third Princess's heart.

The Emperor scolded Qi Zhiyu because of her.

Her father was unusually angry because she mentioned Qi Zhiyu!

Is Qi Zhiyu really that important to the Emperor?

They even bypassed her!

She was not only a princess of Da Rui, but also a queen consort of Qi.

With such a special status, how could she be inferior to Qi Zhiyu in the Emperor's heart?

The Third Princess was indignant and said defiantly, "Father, Chen'an has committed such a disgraceful act. Just because I don't speak up doesn't mean it didn't happen."

Emperor Kangwu was so angry he laughed: "Jinyi, Jinyi... I think Chen'an's guess back then was really correct."

The third princess did not immediately understand Emperor Kangwu's meaning.

Emperor Kangwu gave a direct answer: "You are truly a good dog that Qi Yan and his followers have trained!"

The third princess was so shocked that all color drained from her face.

The Emperor called her a dog?!

All the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads; they heard nothing.

"A dog that only bites its own people!" Emperor Kangwu felt that this was not accurate and added.

The third princess's psychological defenses crumbled instantly, and she broke down crying, "Father, you...you called me a dog?"

"How could you humiliate your son like this?"

Her father scolded her so harshly, showing her no respect whatsoever.

Does she have absolutely no place in her father's heart?

When she was a child, her father also doted on her.

Even though she was married off to a distant place, her father added a considerable amount to her original dowry.

She remembered her father telling her that she should marry far away and have more wealth to rely on.

If Qi Yanhe bullies her and makes her send a message back, then Da Rui will definitely send iron cavalry to bring her home.

She still vividly remembered the love and care he had shown her, but now her father was publicly humiliating her like this!

How could she accept this?

"Third Princess, how is Grandfather humiliating you?" Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise. "Grandfather is clearly just telling the truth."

The third princess already had a lot of grievances.

She didn't dare to get angry with Emperor Kangwu, but she did dare to get angry with Qi Zhiyu.

"I'm speaking to the Emperor, what right do you have to interrupt?" the Third Princess snapped. "Chen'an, don't forget your place."

"I remember your identity very clearly," Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly. "However, Third Princess, I'm afraid you've forgotten your own identity."

"Insolence!" the third princess snapped. "I am..."

"What good does it do for the royal family to ruin the reputation of the royal princess?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled.

"If someone in the royal family does something wrong, it's dealt with internally. They find a respectable reason, like letting him die of illness or an accident."

"This is the usual way of doing things for the royal family and noble families."

The people in the court were speechless.

Princess Chen'an attacked the Third Princess, so why did she have to involve them?

They are innocent!

"Third Princess, you were also born into the royal family. Why don't you follow the usual procedure and instead make a scene in front of your grandfather?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled.

"If you hadn't done such a disgraceful thing, why would you have bothered Father Emperor?" The Third Princess said confidently.

"The rumors are spreading like wildfire, how can we cover it up?"

The Third Princess raised her chin and looked at Qi Zhiyu. The shameful things Qi Zhiyu had done had spread throughout the capital.

Even if everyone says something out loud this time, Qi Zhiyu will never be able to turn things around.

Even if the Emperor wanted to show favoritism, there was nothing he could do!

She wanted to see how unlucky Qi Zhiyu would be.

As soon as she returned to Da Rui, Qi Zhiyu repeatedly embarrassed her.

She wanted to let Qi Zhiyu know that offending her would never end well!

The Third Princess wanted to see Qi Zhiyu make a fool of herself, but unfortunately, she was disappointed.

Because Qi Zhiyu still had a faint smile on her face, she showed no fear whatsoever, not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Qi Zhiyu, won't you admit your mistake?" the Third Princess demanded. "You have betrayed Father Emperor's favor, you have let down your ancestors!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly and slowly said, "Third Princess, do you think that just because you had someone spread rumors, I have no proof that it was you?"

The third princess froze, her eyes flickering, but she still stubbornly refused to admit it: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"How could I do such a thing?"

"Third Princess, do you think it's difficult to investigate such a small matter in the capital?" Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement.

"Do you think the people in the government offices are pushovers?"

The Third Princess's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Jinyi, you have truly disappointed me," Emperor Kangwu said.

The third princess couldn't take it anymore; her grievances instantly turned into tears, and she cried out, "Father, how can you blame me?"

"It was Father Emperor who first showed favoritism towards Chen'an!"

"Father, you have other children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!"

Qi Zhiyu sneered.

This shout immediately ignited the Third Princess's fury, which was directed directly at Qi Zhiyu.

"What are you laughing at? You're smug because you're being favored, aren't you?"

Faced with the Third Princess's questioning, Qi Zhiyu could only sigh helplessly: "I laughed because my grandfather was not wrong."

"You really are Qi Yanhe's trained dog, a dog that only bites its own people!"

"Qi, Zhi, Yu!" The Third Princess gritted her teeth and called out Qi Zhiyu's name slowly and deliberately.

"When wealthy families try to cover things up, it's always because their rivals or enemies expose them." Qi Zhiyu completely ignored the Third Princess's powerless roar and just asked slowly.

"So, Third Princess, are you Da Rui's adversary or his enemy?"
