"Your grandfather explained it to you one minute, and the next minute you're telling Qi Yanhe it as a joke," Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"You even mocked Grandfather with Qi Yanhe. Why should we worry about you?"

"You will definitely tell Qi Yanhe with certainty that you know he will treat you very well."

The third princess's expression changed, and she tried to defend herself, "What's the problem?"

All the civil and military officials fell silent.

Some of the bolder ones even secretly glanced at Emperor Kangwu, their eyes filled with sympathy.

Having such a daughter... Your Majesty is quite pitiful.

"There's no problem," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "Why won't your grandfather tell you?"

"If Father doesn't tell me, I won't know. If I don't know, I'll think Father doesn't care about me, and that'll make me sad," the Third Princess complained loudly.

"Oh, so what if you're feeling unwell? What does it have to do with us?" Qi Zhiyu's words nearly choked the Third Princess to death.

"What...what are you saying?" the Third Princess shouted angrily.

"If what you said is true, Father has done so much for me, how could Father possibly want me to suffer?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Third Princess, you've got it wrong."

"My grandfather did so much because he loved his daughter as a father and wanted to do it."

"Whether you appreciate it or not, and whether you will cherish it, that's your problem."

"My grandfather did all that without asking for anything in return."

"As for having a good hand but playing it terribly, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

The Third Princess was confused by Qi Zhiyu's words; things shouldn't be like this.

"Father, you're doing this for my own good, so how can you just stand by and watch me be sad and heartbroken?" the Third Princess questioned.

Qi Zhiyu pouted and looked at Emperor Kangwu: "Grandfather, why don't you close your eyes?"

Emperor Kangwu couldn't help but laugh this time: "You silly girl..."

Grand Secretary Zhang coughed lightly, suppressing a laugh that almost escaped his lips.

However, a few ministers couldn't resist.

Although the laughter was brief, the Third Princess heard it.

She felt as if she had been slapped in the face, her cheeks burning.

The Third Princess gritted her teeth and glared at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen An, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Qi Zhiyu immediately apologized: "Indeed, it was my fault."

"As an emperor, my grandfather wouldn't have such poor endurance; he doesn't need to close his eyes."

The Third Princess's already unpleasant expression became even more unbearable after Qi Zhiyu's words.

"Chen, An!" The Third Princess's shout carried the force of encountering her father's killer.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Just because you're loud doesn't mean you're right. That donkey has a much louder voice than you."

"And another thing, your imperial grandfather has done so much for you, and you don't know how to be grateful or repay him, you still want to keep taking... Do you think your imperial grandfather is that despicable?"

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

That's true, but... next time when Chen An says it, could you please use a nicer way of saying it?

"You, you..." The Third Princess was so angry that she was breathing rapidly and rolled her eyes.

Qi Zhiyu didn't care about her; so what if she fainted?

Even if he dies of anger, it's one less menace to the world.

The reason why Qi Yanhe spoils the Third Princess so much is because he sees the care and attention her grandfather has for her.

He raised the third princess to be an idiot, so that he could use her to deal with Da Rui.

Do you really think they'll let him have his way?

Who would feel sorry for a selfish person who doesn't know how to cherish family ties and only knows how to leech off others?

"Your Majesty, Prince Qi Yanhe of Qi Kingdom, Prince Wu, and Qi Rongyao request an audience," the eunuch announced as he entered.

"Announce it," Emperor Kangwu said calmly.

Qi Yan and the other three entered and first paid their respects to Emperor Kangwu.

After they had finished standing up, Qi Yanhe noticed the Third Princess, who was sitting on the ground, her rouge smeared with cold sweat.

Qi Yanhe rushed over and asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Feeling abandoned, the third princess was finally cared for, and all her grievances turned into tears.

Qi Yan gently comforted the weeping Third Princess in his arms.

Qi Zhiyu couldn't help but admire Qi Yanhe; it's not easy for someone to act for over ten years.

Qi Zhiyu pouted in boredom; she didn't want to waste her time watching the Third Princess cry.

If she finishes her business sooner, she can go home and rest earlier.

"Third Princess, even if you cry yourself to death, you can't cover up the fact that the King of Wu colluded with Qi Yan and wanted to seize the throne."

Upon hearing Qi Zhiyu's words, both Qi Yanhe and the King of Wu froze instantly.

King Wu then hurriedly knelt down: "Father, I had no such intention."

"Your Majesty, why does Princess Chen'an want to wrong someone like this?" Qi Yanhe asked, shocked and aggrieved.

"Stop pretending," Qi Zhiyu said. "The Third Princess has already admitted that the rumors about me were spread by her and Qi Rongyao."

"The two of them were fanning the flames behind the scenes, making it known throughout the entire capital."

King Wu and Qi Yan both turned to look at the Third Princess.

Is she mentally ill?

How can you admit to something like this?

The third princess huddled in Qi Yanhe's arms, shrinking back in fear.

Then she felt she was right: "Chen An did that kind of thing first, Qi Rongyao and I were just telling the truth."

"I don't want her to take advantage of her father's favor and make more and more mistakes."

"What did we do wrong?"

Qi Yan, who was holding her, really wanted to throw her out.

He was trying his best to spoil her.

However, he never expected that she would become so useless.

Has he gone too far and spoiled his child?

He should have kept some sense of reason in her, at least, not been so foolish as to betray him!

"Look, King Wu, you heard that? The Third Princess has admitted what she did with your daughter." Qi Zhiyu looked at King Wu with a smile.

Qi Yanhe suddenly looked at Qi Zhiyu.

Was her purpose in saying that to drag the King of Wu into the mess?

Qi Zhiyu really likes to kill two birds with one stone, achieving multiple goals at once.

King Wu frowned. At this moment, he certainly couldn't reprimand Qi Zhiyu, so he could only glare at Qi Rongyao: "You did this?"

Qi Rongyao trembled with fright and, without thinking, instinctively knelt down: "Father, Father King..."

Her mind went blank, her heart pounded, and she trembled with fear.

"Enough, King Wu," Qi Zhiyu sneered. "Who are you trying to fool?"

"If you hadn't authorized it, would Qi Rongyao have had the ability to fan the flames?"

"How old is she? Is she as pampered as I am? How many people can she command?"

"Besides, what she did concerned me. Didn't anyone in your household report it to you?"

"Everyone here isn't stupid, what are you acting for?"

"You dare to do it but not take responsibility... It's really unsightly that you have such a lack of accountability."

"Who would dare serve a master who shifts blame when things go wrong?"
