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

King Wu suddenly looked up at Qi Zhiyu.

Does she really want him dead?

The King of Wu's death stare had absolutely no effect on Qi Zhiyu.

She even added with a smile, "Of course, there are also those fools who refuse to believe in evil and are determined to follow to the death."

"To this, I only want to say one thing: don't be foolish and risk the lives of your entire clan."

"Chen An!" King Wu shouted.

If he doesn't stop Qi Zhiyu, all his followers will run away.

Now that he has been stripped of power, those people's hearts have already wavered.

Now that Qi Zhiyu has said that, are those people starting to frantically look for a way out?

"Father, I truly knew nothing about this matter," King Wu said with a heavy heart.

"However, Qi Rongyao has done something wrong, and your son will certainly discipline her properly."

"King Wu, are you trying to make things difficult for your grandfather?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused.

The King of Wu's face darkened: "What do you mean by this?"

"I've already said I'll go back and discipline Qi Rongyao properly, what more do you want?"

"Oh, oh, oh... what more do I want?" Qi Zhiyu clicked her tongue in amazement. "From what you're saying, it's as if I'm being aggressive, and it's my fault?"

"Was it me who allowed Qi Rongyao to tarnish the royal family's reputation outside?"

"Am I the one who caused the people's discontent and resentment towards the royal family?"

"Was it I who unsettled the people of Da Rui, creating an opportunity for other countries to attack Da Rui?"

With each question Qi Zhiyu asked, the expressions of the officials in the hall grew increasingly grim.

Whether it's jealousy or rivalry, they don't care.

It's normal for officials in the court to fight and compete for benefits.

However, all of these have a prerequisite: they cannot undermine the foundation of the nation.

The King of Wu has already crossed the line!

King Wu naturally noticed the strange, condemning gazes of those people.

Qi Zhiyu sneered, "Your daughter did something that endangers the country and the nation, and you just casually say you'll discipline her when you get back?"

"You even told your grandfather, what do you mean by that?"

"As the Emperor of the Great Rui, my grandfather naturally had to prioritize the well-being of the nation."

"No matter how kind he is, or how much he cares about his younger generation, for the sake of the bigger picture, he can only reluctantly deal with Qi Rongyao."

"Grandfather personally ordered the punishment of his own granddaughter... Didn't you ever consider how much pain your imperial grandfather must have felt?"

"You actually made your grandfather do this himself, to experience the pain of having flesh and blood ripped out of his heart?"

"You're so good at pretending to be a nice person."

Upon hearing this, the King of Wu wished he could grab Qi Zhiyu's head and smash it open.

He wanted to see what Qi Zhiyu was thinking about all day long.

Is that what he meant?

is it?

Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Zhiyu with eyes full of satisfaction; Chen An understood him.

Grand Secretary Zhang glanced at Emperor Kangwu, then at Prince Rui, who was deeply moved, and came to a conclusion—shamelessness really is hereditary!

"Grandfather, not punishing Qi Rongyao would be a failure as a ruler. If you punish Qi Rongyao, you would be seen as a cold-blooded emperor who disregards family ties."

Qi Zhiyu sighed with emotion: "King Wu, you actually drove your own father to such a predicament... You are truly amazing."

King Wu's mind went blank for a moment, as if countless sledgehammers were pounding wildly inside his head, leaving him in complete chaos.

What did he say?

What did he do?

He only said he would discipline Qi Rongyao properly, and that's a crime?

It's still such a heinous crime of disloyalty and injustice!

What is Qi Zhiyu up to?

Is there any way she can spare his life?

"Father, I have no such intention," King Wu said, bowing his head.

Emperor Kangwu did not speak, but simply looked at him in silence.

Chen An has paved the way for him, so he doesn't need to make any statements. Things will naturally develop as they come.

With Chen An around, he really has it easy.

Emperor Kangwu's silence made the King of Wu grit his teeth in secret; he knew he had to make a statement.

Otherwise, this matter cannot be resolved amicably.

"Father..." Qi Rongyao called out softly.

This sound was trembling with fear.

She didn't know why things had turned out this way, but she had a vague feeling that she was in trouble this time.

"Chen An, why are you so determined to keep bothering me?" Qi Rongyao asked, feeling wronged.

"What's wrong with spreading a few rumors?"

Upon hearing this, the King of Wu angrily shouted, "Shut up!"

What's wrong with spreading some rumors?

The Wu Prince's Mansion is going to be implicated and die!

"Father, if Chen An didn't do anything, even if my aunt and I wanted to spread the word, we wouldn't be able to." Qi Rongyao was unwilling to accept this.

"It was Chen An who forcibly abducted the actress first!"

"She took what she wanted from someone else; that was wrong of her to begin with, and she's the root of all this."

The King of Wu shouted, "Shut up!"

Even if Chen An was wrong, that's no excuse for your mistakes!

"If Chen'an has made a mistake, Prince Rui will handle it, and His Majesty will hold him accountable. Why should you say anything more?"

Everyone understood the hidden meaning in the King of Wu's words.

Especially just now, Qi Zhiyu retorted to his use of the word "discipline," and the King of Wu returned the favor verbatim.

While Qi Rongyao certainly made mistakes, the real source of the problem was Qi Zhiyu.

If Your Majesty wants to hold people accountable, Qi Rongyao will not escape punishment, and Qi Zhiyu will only face even harsher punishment!

Grand Secretary Zhang frowned deeply. Was the King of Wu still so stubbornly clinging to his delusions?

How to deal with Princess Chen'an using Princess Chen'an's methods?

He really didn't know what the King of Wu was thinking.

After saying those words, the King of Wu felt a sense of exhilaration at finally winning back a point.

However, his smugness didn't last long before he realized something was wrong.

wrong!

The reactions of the civil and military officials were inappropriate!

Not to mention that Prince Rui's faction wasn't nervous, even his own people didn't feel relieved.

Didn't he have the upper hand over Qi Zhiyu?

Isn't the root of everything Qi Zhiyu's abduction of the actress the reason everything happened?

Even if Qi Rongyao is at fault, the one who is most at fault is Qi Zhiyu!

When the King of Wu was puzzled, those in his camp wished they could disappear into the ground.

When the King of Wu was about to make a move, couldn't he have done some research beforehand?

The situation is completely unclear, and the King of Wu is acting like this... How embarrassing.

Even those who supported and followed him were seen as fools.

If they weren't stupid, why would they choose the King of Wu?

Princess Chen'an is the one who took over the opera troupe, but they just found out what that person was for, and they even discussed it.

In fact, this will be implemented very soon, bringing about earth-shattering changes to Da Rui.

As subjects of the Great Rui, they could only cheer loudly for what Princess Chen'an had done.

After all, only when the people prosper can the Great Rui prosper, and only when the Great Rui prospers can they, as its subjects, prosper!

"King Wu," Qi Zhiyu said, sincerely suggesting, "why don't you want to ask me first why I took those people away?"

"Minister of Personnel, explain this to the Prince of Wu," Qi Zhiyu said, directly addressing him.

Who could blame her? The Minister of Personnel was a man of the King of Wu, and also her second brother's superior.
