The Minister of Personnel never expected to be dragged into this.

It was very abrupt, but he had no right to refuse.

The Minister of Personnel could only explain the matter in detail.

As he recounted the story, the King of Wu went from incredulous shock to agonizing despair.

He had no doubt; he was certain that Qi Zhiyu was doing it on purpose!

She knew his daughter was with her, which is why she staged the scene of forcibly taking the actor to mislead his daughter.

Also, are the rumors circulating outside really just spread by Jin Yi's people?

Didn't Qi Zhiyu send someone to fuel the flames?

He thought he had tricked Qi Zhiyu, but in reality, Qi Zhiyu had dug the pit, stood at the edge of it, and watched him jump in with a smile!

Qi Zhiyu!

Qi Zhiyu is going too far!

King Wu was seething with anger, while Qi Yanhe stared at Qi Zhiyu in disbelief.

She...she actually came up with this idea?

This would also be feasible if it were used in their Qi Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, Princess Chen'an, despite her young age, is quite useful.

It would be a shame to kill someone like that. If we could bring him to our Qi Kingdom and control him... that wouldn't be bad either.

A little girl, easy to control.

Once Qi Yanhe had this idea, he began to plan how to implement it.

"Father, I did not know that Chen'an forcibly abducted people for this reason," the Prince of Wu immediately said to Emperor Kangwu.

"Why doesn't Chen An just tell someone directly if he wants to do something like this?"

"Did they really have to create this misunderstanding?"

"Chen'an." Emperor Kangwu did not answer the Prince of Wu, but called out to Qi Zhiyu.

"Alright, I'll tell you," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile, "because I'm going to dig a hole for you."

The King of Wu's expression of grief and indignation froze.

What is that?

What did he hear?

Does Qi Zhiyu even know what she's saying?

"I went to see a play, and Qi Rongyao followed me suspiciously." Qi Zhiyu's words shocked Qi Rongyao. "You knew!"

Upon hearing her words, the King of Wu felt an urge to slap her.

She even admitted it?

Aren't you ashamed?

Qi Rongyao instinctively shouted, then immediately covered her mouth.

Unfortunately, once she had said everything, it was too late for her to cover her mouth.

Qi Rongyao was both angry and annoyed, and she was almost in tears.

However, no one cares about her anymore.

"If someone wants to harm me, I should at least give them a chance to prove themselves," Qi Zhiyu said considerately. "I'm the kind of person who likes to help others achieve their goals."

"I took the man away and made arrangements with the opera troupe. Sure enough... rumors started spreading that I had forcibly taken a man."

Qi Zhiyu clicked her tongue in disapproval: "If you want to scam me, can't you at least do your research first?"

"This...makes me think that you, King of Wu, are short-sighted."

The King of Wu glared angrily at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu immediately changed her tune: "I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have said you were short-sighted."

The King of Wu snorted coldly, thinking that she was wise to know her place.

"To be honest, you have absolutely no ability to get things done." Qi Zhiyu's next words almost made King Wu vomit blood in anger.

"You never do any research beforehand. Was this how you did things when you were the crown prince?"

"If you act solely based on your own guesses, how much of that will be inconsistent with the facts?"

"Sigh..." Qi Zhiyu sighed heavily, "Fortunately, fortunately, my grandfather was wise enough to entrust the matters you were in charge of to my father."

"But my father will have to work hard." Qi Zhiyu looked at Prince Rui with heartache.

Prince Rui said with an upright expression, "Don't worry about your father. As a prince, it is my duty to devote myself to the court."

Qi Zhiyu was deeply moved: "Dad, you've gone through so much."

Everyone: "..."

After a brief silence, Grand Secretary Zhang looked at Emperor Kangwu.

This is His Majesty's son!

Emperor Kangwu sensed the gaze of Grand Secretary Zhang, but outwardly remained nonchalant.

In reality, he was already cursing him to death in his heart.

Why are you looking at him when he's shameless?

What does it have to do with him?

"You've had it tough too, putting in so much effort for Da Rui, and yet you've been schemed against." Prince Rui choked back tears, then knelt before Emperor Kangwu. "Father, I beg you, please do justice for Chen'an!"

Emperor Kangwu struggled to suppress the twitching of his lips.

The eldest has definitely grown up; his skin is much thicker than it was a few years ago.

King Wu felt all the blood rush to his head.

He's the one who got schemed against, okay?

Does Prince Rui have any sense of shame at all?

Such lies come out of their mouths so easily, without even blushing or panting!

Is Prince Rui a human being?

Emperor Kangwu spoke up: "Fourth Prince, how do you intend to discipline your daughter?"

Emperor Kangwu deliberately used the word "discipline".

This was just said by the King of Wu himself.

King Wu choked, suppressing his heartache, he gritted his teeth, cupped his hands, and said, "Father, please grant her a white silk ribbon."

Qi Rongyao was struck dumb, and instantly collapsed to the ground.

White silk?

Her father wanted her dead?

Did her father beg her grandfather to order her death?

"Hey, hey, hey... King Wu, that's not right of you." Qi Zhiyu strongly objected.

"You're clearly the mastermind, so why are you letting your daughter take the blame?"

"That's going too far."

"When something goes wrong, you find someone to take the blame, not even sparing your own daughter. If it were someone else... wouldn't they have been used by you until there were no bones left?"

Those who followed the King of Wu: "..."

A chill ran down my spine for no reason, and I felt a sudden shiver run down my spine.

King Wu was so angry that his vision blurred: "Chen'an!"

"What did I say wrong?" Qi Zhiyu said, feeling wronged. "Doesn't Qi Rongyao need manpower to spread rumors?"

"The only people she can turn to are those from your Wu Prince's Mansion."

"Didn't anyone in your household report you for doing something like this?"

"This is unacceptable, King Wu. You can't even manage the people in your own household... The things you did in the past... are truly terrifying to think about."

Qi Zhiyu sighed, and Wu Wang wished he could slap her twice and smash her mouth.

What's there to think about?

"I haven't been feeling well these days, and the people in my household don't want to bother me," the King of Wu said through gritted teeth, trying his best to find a plausible reason.

"Moreover, I have handed over all my affairs to Prince Rui, and the people in his household are also harboring resentment and want to vent their anger on my behalf."

If your master is being bullied, what's wrong with a servant loyally protecting him?

Qi Zhiyu covered her mouth in surprise, staring at King Wu in disbelief.

The King of Wu's heart skipped a beat. What was she up to now?

"Heavens!" Qi Zhiyu exclaimed, "Even the Emperor's orders are met with resentment from your household..."

The King of Wu's expression changed drastically: "Father, no..."

"Where do they get the audacity to harbor such resentment?" Qi Zhiyu asked preemptively. "Could it be that in their hearts, you hold a higher position than their grandfather?"

"Are you the true His Majesty in their hearts, the King of Da Rui?"
