Princess Rui was furious, and even after returning to the Prince Rui's residence, her face remained grim.

She hadn't even caused any trouble for King Wu and his family yet, and King Wu dared to plot against them!

"Guards!" Princess Rui said in a deep voice.

"Go prepare rice, noodles, meat, and eggs."

"Congratulations on the Princess's exoneration!"

Qi Zhiyu: "...Mother, isn't the use of the phrase 'vindication of a wronged person' a little...exaggerated?"

"It's no exaggeration," Princess Rui said with heartache. "My son has endured so many days of gossip for the greater good; he deserves it!"

Qi Zhiyu nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mother is right!"

"I'll do whatever Mother says!"

Princess Rui then smiled and said, "Yu'er, you've been busy all day, go back and rest."

"Mother will handle the rest."

Qi Zhiyu replied crisply, "Okay."

That was all for her; she went back to her own courtyard to rest.

Princess Rui was delighted to discover that her daughter was very happy.

He walks with a bouncy, skipping gait.

Since she came back, the child has always been composed, and now she finally looks like a little girl.

Princess Rui wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Who drove her daughter to lose her childlike nature?

She couldn't change what had already happened, so she could only try her best to let Yu'er know that she didn't have to be so strong all the time.

She has a family.

Princess Rui took action to avenge her daughter.

While Prince Rui's residence was busy, Prince Wu's residence was also in turmoil.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what should we do now?" Princess Wu looked at Prince Wu in a state of utter confusion.

Is her daughter really going to cut off her hair and become a nun?

In that case, her daughter's life would truly be over.

"What should we do? Get her all packed and ready to leave," King Wu said coldly.

Princess Wu was heartbroken: "Your Highness, can't you stay a few more days?"

We should try to arrive a few days later.

She really couldn't bear to part with it!

How could her daughter endure the austere life in that nunnery?

"Stay a few more days?" the King of Wu asked sarcastically. "You intend to defy the imperial decree?"

"Father has already shown mercy and spared her life. Are you going to push your luck? Do you want to completely enrage Father?"

Princess Wu protested on behalf of her daughter: "But in the beginning, it was the Prince who ordered it..."

"Shut up!" King Wu shouted sternly.

"Your Highness, you should know what you should and shouldn't say."

King Wu leaned forward slightly, creating an extreme sense of pressure for Queen Wu: "She is born into the royal family and enjoys wealth and honor, so she should be prepared to sacrifice herself for the royal family at any time."

Princess Wu's body went limp, and she slumped into the chair.

At this moment, she could see no warmth in the King of Wu's eyes, only a bone-chilling cold.

She felt ice-cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She thought that his use of all means to fight for that position would make their family's life better and better.

But she never imagined that her child would also be the one to be sacrificed.

Today, her daughter has been sacrificed. If necessary in the future, will her son also become a stepping stone in the Wu King's great cause?

Upon thinking of this, Princess Wu felt as if her blood had frozen, and she was trembling all over.

The King of Wu was disgusted by the Queen Consort's distraught appearance.

They're really useless.

In crucial moments, they can't help at all.

If she could truly win over Princess Rui's heart, he might be able to mediate and prevent Qi Rongyao from becoming a nun.

But what did she do?

Not only did their plea for leniency fail, but it also caused Princess Rui to cause a scene at the gate of the mansion.

Not only did it make them a laughing stock, it also clarified the rumors about Qi Zhiyu from a few days ago.

In this way, it won't be long before Qi Zhiyu washes off the dirty water.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get ready to send them away!" King Wu said coldly.

"If we send them away voluntarily, we can at least save face. But if they're forced to leave... how will they ever face anyone again?"

Princess Wu bowed her head and responded, then went to the backyard to prepare things for Qi Rongyao.

She finally understood.

No one was important in the eyes of the King of Wu.

All he cared about was that position.

It seems she needs to make some careful plans for herself and her son.

After the Queen Consort left, the King of Wu sat in a chair, supporting his forehead with one hand. His temples throbbed, and he had a terrible headache.

Princess Rui is truly heartless.

To be so desperately pleading and yet remain so unmoved.

As expected, the people in Prince Rui's mansion are a bunch of hypocrites with sweet words and daggers in their hearts!

If Prince Rui and his ilk had shown even a shred of compassion to the world, they wouldn't have stood by and watched Qi Rongyao be sent away to have her hair cut off and become a nun.

The people in Prince Rui's mansion are all so ruthless!

King Wu sat alone in his room, brooding. After a while, just as he felt the tightness in his chest ease a little, suddenly, a loud commotion came from outside.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened, Your Highness!"

The servant rushed in and threw a teacup at him.

Before the servant could react, the object slammed down hard on his head.

It shattered with a snap, and a warm, damp liquid flowed down.

The servant knew his head was definitely broken, but he didn't even dare to touch it, let alone check it.

The servant suddenly knelt heavily on the ground.

Only then did the King of Wu coldly question, "What are you doing in such a panic?"

"I am perfectly fine!"

The servant then realized how he had offended his master, and he hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, Princess Rui is out delivering things to the people."

The King of Wu snorted coldly: "What's all the fuss about?"

"Princess Rui has always enjoyed doing these kinds of self-serving things!"

On ordinary days, they would distribute porridge, give away clothes, or hold free medical consultations and prescriptions.

They all spend a little money to gain fame.

Prince Rui's mansion would resort to these underhanded tactics.

"Princess Rui sent these gifts to celebrate Princess Chen'an's exoneration!" The servant lowered his head and mustered his courage to reveal the important news.

"What?" King Wu suddenly stood up.

Whether from anger or something else, his vision went black, and he slumped back into his chair.

The servant looked up worriedly: "Your Highness?"

The King of Wu gritted his teeth in hatred: "Princess Rui, that poisonous woman!"

King Wu thought that the discussion about Qi Zhiyu would not stop for several more days.

Unexpectedly, Princess Rui pulled this stunt.

Now, Qi Rongyao has no chance to secretly leave the capital.

"King Rui, I will never let your family get away with this!" King Wu slammed his fist on the table and roared in grief and indignation.

Then, his body went limp and he instantly slumped to one side.

"Your Highness!" the servant cried out in alarm, rushing forward. "Help! The Prince has fainted!"

The Wu Prince's mansion was in complete chaos, and the outside was bustling with activity. The people were receiving gifts and enjoying lively entertainment; who wouldn't be happy?

Holding the rice, noodles, eggs, and meat sent by the Prince Rui's Mansion, they naturally spared no effort in publicizing that Princess Chen'an had been wronged.
