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

The third princess was stunned, then quickly retorted, "What enemies or adversaries?"

"Chen An, don't you dare slander me!"

"I could have taken the opera troupe away without attracting attention," Qi Zhiyu said with amusement.

"You deliberately arranged for people to press the issue step by step, and then added fuel to the fire."

"Aren't you just trying to ruin my reputation?"

Just as the Third Princess was about to speak, Qi Zhiyu reminded her, "Don't lie. If Grandfather wants to investigate, he will definitely find out."

The third princess shut her mouth again, but she was unwilling and felt wronged.

"It's all because you're too arrogant, and Father Emperor favors you and doesn't punish you!"

The third princess declared confidently, "This time, the people will all know what shameful things you've done, so Father Emperor must handle this impartially and cannot show favoritism towards you!"

Qi Zhiyu laughed, her shoulders trembling slightly: "Didn't you ever consider the possibility that someone might incite the people to rebel against this indiscriminate royal family and court?"

The third princess's eyes flickered, but she still felt she was right: "As long as Father Emperor punishes you, that's enough."

"Besides, why would the common people so easily rebel?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and asked, "What did my grandfather do to me?"

"Then why wasn't it dealt with before?"

"Is it because my imperial grandfather is blind and incompetent, unfit to be a ruler?"

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

Chen An confronts Jin Yi, why should he suffer this undeserved misfortune?

The officials in the hall immediately felt a sense of balance.

Look, Princess Chen'an didn't even spare His Majesty. They were just implicated... Hmm, it's alright now.

"No, I had no such intention!" the Third Princess immediately denied.

How could she admit to this?

"Chen An, don't talk nonsense!"

"So, you didn't mean that? Then whose idea was it?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously, "Qi Yanhe?"

"After all, if the Great Rui were to fall into internal strife and the Qi Kingdom were to take advantage of the situation, they would be the ones to benefit."

"Grandfather, it seems that Qi Yanhe's purpose in coming to our Great Rui is not pure!"

The third princess cried out in alarm, "It's Qi Rongyao!"

"She discovered you took the actors from the opera troupe, and she said she would ruin your reputation!"

The ministers who followed the King of Wu suddenly felt a darkness before their eyes.

What master did they follow?

"Oh... so it's Qi Rongyao." Qi Zhiyu exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Why does Qi Rongyao hate me so much?

The Third Princess was furious. Why was Qi Zhiyu pretending to be innocent?

"Isn't it all because of you that King Wu was harmed?" the Third Princess gritted her teeth.

Qi Zhiyu is pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth. Isn't that disgusting?

The King of Wu was deprived of power, and the King of Rui took over all of the King of Wu's affairs.

How could the King of Wu not hate him?

"Ah!" Qi Zhiyu exclaimed, "Wasn't all of this the Emperor's decision?"

"Is the King of Wu dissatisfied with his grandfather's decision, so he wants to take this opportunity to destroy his grandfather?"

"He wants to incite the people, throw the Great Rui into chaos, seize the opportunity to rebel, and then join forces with Qi Yanhe to usurp the throne?"

Grand Secretary Zhang was dumbfounded.

Princess Chen'an's mouth... has it been blessed or poisoned?

It's too dark, too ruthless.

Is Princess Chen'an trying to kill the King of Wu by closing in on this?

At the same time, how can we give Da Rui a legitimate reason to send troops to attack Qi?

Even the seasoned Grand Secretary Zhang reacted this way, so the other ministers were even more visibly shaken, staring at Qi Zhiyu in disbelief, their minds blank.

So...we're going to...go to war?

Should we cut off the head of the King of Wu first, and then attack the State of Qi?

Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Zhiyu with a smile in his eyes. This girl...

The third princess was stunned. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She wanted to argue, but didn't know how.

Because Qi Zhiyu's speculation seemed quite reasonable.

wrong!

How could Qi Zhiyu be in the right?

"Chen'an, don't talk nonsense!" the Third Princess shouted. "I just can't stand you!"

"Qi Rongyao also wanted to avenge her father!"

Qi Zhiyu nodded: "I understand."

"Isn't your goal to ruin the royal family's reputation, bring down the emperor's grandfather, and then rebel and usurp the throne?"

"No!" The third princess felt that this matter was difficult to explain. "We didn't mean that, we just wanted to ruin your reputation."

"If you ruin my reputation, isn't that just ruining the royal family's reputation? Isn't that just ruining my grandfather's reputation?" Qi Zhiyu looked at the Third Princess with a face full of doubt.

"What's the difference?"

"I didn't think that much!" The third princess cried in distress.

"Impossible." Qi Zhiyu didn't believe it. "Third Princess, you are a princess whom the Emperor Grandfather hired famous teachers to teach you since you were a child, and you are also the Princess Consort of Qi Kingdom."

"You don't understand this?"

"Don't you understand the principle that we all prosper together and suffer together?"

"Don't you understand? Doesn't Qi Rongyao understand either?"

"Her father, the King of Wu, used to be the crown prince."

"Even if she's not the crown prince, she's still a member of the royal family. What? Don't you understand the implications?"

"No, that's not how it is..." The Third Princess really had a lot of grievances to say, but she found that no matter what she said, she couldn't convince anyone.

It seems she has been driven to a dead end; no matter which way she goes, there is only one path: death.

"Grandfather, this matter must be thoroughly investigated," Qi Zhiyu said solemnly.

"Did Qi Yan really come here to accompany the Third Princess on her family visit, or does he have another purpose...? This concerns the safety of the Great Rui Dynasty!"

"Absolutely no mistakes are allowed!"

Emperor Kangwu nodded: "Guards, summon Prince Wu, Qi Rongyao, and Qi Yanhe to the palace!"

The eunuch immediately rushed out to find someone.

Qi Zhiyu said that the matter was over, and she leisurely sipped her tea.

After talking for so long, she was genuinely thirsty.

As for the Third Princess, she kept explaining, "Father, I absolutely did not mean that."

"It's all just Chen An's wild speculation."

Emperor Kangwu ignored her.

Everything that needed to be said has been said. Arguing with her when there are no disagreements would be a complete waste of time.

He needed to think carefully about how to get... no, how to get compensation from Qi Yanhe.

Grand Secretary Zhang looked at Qi Zhiyu with envy.

How did Princess Chen'an develop such a silver tongue?

How could something like this so naturally be linked to major issues between the two countries?

Qi Yanhe is going to help the King of Wu rebel; this matter must be handled with utmost care.

If the compensation is not adequate, then the Great Rui will have a legitimate reason to attack the Qi Kingdom.

It's not impossible to wage war; their Great Rui army is strong and well-equipped.

Who would complain about having too much land in their country?

Anyway, he knew that His Majesty would not mind, nor would the court officials.

The third princess explained for a long time, but found that no one paid any attention to her. She cried sadly, "Father, why are you so biased towards Chen'an?"

"Am I really that unworthy of your attention?"

"Does whatever she says go true?"

A cold glint flashed in Emperor Kangwu's eyes, and his heart sank.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and put down her teacup: "Third Princess, where are your two personal maids?"
