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

"Tell me, what happened?" Prince Rui asked in a cold voice.

Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi exchanged a glance, and then Qi Jingchen offered an explanation.

Regarding how they managed to have an alibi while still managing to beat up Qi Jinghong.

After listening, Prince Rui asked, "Is that all?"

Qi Jingchen looked at Qi Jingxi, his eyes asking, "Did you do anything else?"

Qi Jingxi shook her head innocently, "Absolutely not."

They went through the plan several times to make sure there were no flaws before they made it.

If he does something unnecessary and causes problems in their plans, then it would be a loss for them.

Besides, is he the kind of person who would cause unnecessary trouble?

"That's strange." Prince Rui sensed something was amiss.

"If there was no substantial evidence, why did the Prefect of the Capital come and immediately claim that it was the second son who beat Qi Jinghong?"

"He's just jealous of me," Qi Jingxi snorted arrogantly.

"I do everything better than him in the Ministry of Personnel; he can't compare to me in any way."

"He deliberately splashed dirty water on me!"

After Qi Jingxi finished speaking, she scratched her head, realizing something was amiss, and added, "Although I was the one who beat him up, he was just making wild guesses without any evidence, trying to frame me!"

Prince Rui did not speak.

Qi Jingchen spoke up: "Father, why don't we ask my sister?"

Prince Rui looked up and gave his eldest son an approving look.

"What does this have to do with Yu'er?" Qi Jingxi asked, puzzled.

"Could it be that Yu'er did something?" Qi Jingxi exclaimed in astonishment.

Qi Jingchen nodded: "Definitely."

"Otherwise, if the King of Wu hadn't had substantial evidence after suffering so many losses, how could he have been so certain to the Prefect of the Capital that you were the one who hit him?" Qi Jingchen said.

"What if Qi Jinghong is just talking nonsense?" Qi Jingxi asked, and before anyone else could speak, he already had his answer.

"The King of Wu will stop him."

The father and his two sons were in complete agreement: it was definitely Yu'er who made the move.

"Yu'er is amazing! When we went to beat up that person, we didn't even notice that Yu'er was nearby." Qi Jingxi chuckled foolishly.

Qi Jingchen rolled her eyes at him.

Qi Jingxi was furious: "Big brother, what's with that look you're giving me? You're looking at an idiot!"

"It means they're looking at an idiot." Qi Jingchen never held back when it came to his younger brother.

Say whatever you want to say.

"Who's the fool?" Qi Jingxi refused to admit it!

Qi Jingchen sneered: "You think wiping out a tribe is a game?"

Qi Jingxi gritted her teeth: "Of course I know Yu'er is skilled in martial arts. Can't I just express my admiration?"

"I have such an amazing younger sister, so what if I like to show off?"

"If my older brother were that amazing, I'd be smug too, but alas... tsk tsk tsk..." Qi Jingxi rolled her eyes at Qi Jingchen with disdain.

"The older brother is worse than the younger sister, really... sigh, I won't say anything more."

Qi Jingchen's words were deadly: "You talk as if you're better than Yu'er."

Qi Jingxi: "!!!"

Prince Rui rubbed his forehead: "Alright, I'll think about asking Yu'er tomorrow morning."

Qi Jingchen reminded him, "I feel like it's too late."

"Every morning, before I can go to court, Yu'er is still asleep. The King of Wu will definitely cause trouble at the morning court."

The King of Wu finally had a chance to deal with them, and he even had the upper hand. How could he possibly let it go?

"It's alright. Your grandfather will probably let you into the palace tomorrow. We're both in the court, so we can help each other out." Prince Rui looked at his eldest son.

Qi Jingchen nodded solemnly.

Qi Jingxi looked at this and then at that, completely bewildered: "No, Father, Big Brother... if Yu'er did something, would you need to cover for her?"

Prince Rui: "..."

Qi Jingchen: "..."

Qi Jingxi: "You guys are really going to unnecessary trouble... Ouch!"

Qi Jingxi clutched the back of her head, glaring angrily at Qi Jingchen sitting beside her: "Why did you hit me? And why did you hit me twice?"

Qi Jingchen stated logically and with evidence: "Besides, I made this call for our father."

Prince Rui affirmed his eldest son's decision: "The eldest son is right."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

So the whole family only bullies him?

Regardless, the father and his two sons had a guess in their hearts, roughly discussed what would happen in the court, and then went back to their own courtyards to rest.

Princess Rui inquired about the situation and said, "Yu'er didn't mention this at all, so it shouldn't be important."

"Yu'er can handle it easily."

Prince Rui sighed: "In Yu'er's eyes, is there anything important?"

Princess Rui was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled: "Yu'er, you are indeed capable."

However, before the smile on her face faded, her eyes reddened.

How much suffering and hardship did the child endure to acquire such astonishing skills?

Prince Rui didn't say anything, he just put his arm around her and gently patted her back.

He has studied literature and martial arts since childhood, how could he not know what it takes to learn real skills?

Their daughter's past is a mystery. They're not stupid, so how could they not notice anything unusual?

They simply chose to understand, without asking.

When children suffer, parents can only do their best to treat them even better.

Some things don't need to be investigated thoroughly. As long as the child is alright and still by their side, nothing else matters.

"The child knows what we're thinking," Prince Rui advised.

Otherwise, why would Yu'er so brazenly display her abilities?

This means the child has genuinely accepted them.

Princess Rui sniffed hard: "Anyway, no one can bully our daughter!"

Prince Rui: "..."

Who can bully them?

Of course, Prince Rui wouldn't be foolish enough to say that out loud.

He chimed in, "That's right, with us here, no one can bully Yu'er."

Princess Rui nodded: "Yes."

She's such a sweet little girl, she absolutely cannot be bullied.

Princess Rui's emotions came and went quickly; she knew her husband was reliable.

Even if the King of Wu causes trouble tomorrow, her daughter cannot suffer any loss.

Having figured things out, Princess Rui washed up and went to sleep peacefully.

King Wu, however, did not get much rest that night.

He needs to prepare well so that he can turn the tide at the morning court session.

He was tricked by Qi Zhiyu before because he wasn't familiar with Qi Zhiyu's methods.

He has long since figured out Qi Zhiyu's moves.

Qi Zhiyu still wants to scheme against him? Dream on!

The next day, all the matters that could be handled were dealt with in the imperial court.

Some things still need to be discussed later, and the ministers need to come up with a plan.

Those are not issues that can be resolved immediately in the imperial court.

Emperor Kangwu also gave Qi Jingchen special instructions.

As the newly appointed Vice Minister of Rites, he must handle matters concerning actors properly.

Just as the court was about to adjourn, the King of Wu requested an audience.

Emperor Kangwu smiled slightly; he was not surprised at all.

He knew that Qi Jinghong had been beaten up.

Has the fourth brother found evidence that can crush the eldest brother?

To be honest, he now admires the fourth brother a bit.

Despite repeated defeats, their unwavering perseverance is undeniably a testament to their strength!
