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

Qi Zhiyu knew exactly what Grand Secretary Zhang wanted to know: "The craftsmen are not my people. Nor are they my father's people."

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she asked with a smile, "Is Grand Secretary Zhang relieved now?"

"My father and I aren't that powerful enough to foresee today's events and plant people around Qi Yanhe many years in advance."

Grand Secretary Zhang paused for a moment, then bowed deeply to Qi Zhiyu.

He straightened up and calmly looked into Qi Zhiyu's eyes: "Thank you for your explanation, Princess. This old minister understands."

Afterwards, Grand Secretary Zhang bowed to Emperor Kangwu and took his leave.

After Grand Secretary Zhang left and there was no one else in the room, Emperor Kangwu sighed, "Ah, Grand Secretary Zhang is getting old after all."

Qi Zhiyu blinked her big, watery eyes, and with her still-chubby baby fat, she looked incredibly innocent and naive.

Qi Zhiyu was so soft and gentle that no one dared to raise their voice at her.

That was because he was afraid that if he made a slightly louder sound, he would frighten her.

It's truly heartbreaking.

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

What should I do if my granddaughter looks too deceptively attractive?

She's completely different when she's being sarcastic; once she gets into character, she has absolutely nothing to do with being cute.

Emperor Kangwu pressed his throbbing forehead: "The craftsman wasn't someone you arranged in advance. That means from the moment you arrested the craftsman until he committed suicide by poison."

"In such a short time, you have to persuade him to betray his master and commit suicide. That's... even more frightening."

Qi Zhiyu frowned in confusion and thought for a moment: "What's so scary about that?"

"Isn't it just about knowing the craftsman's weakness and fulfilling his wish? Then he'll cooperate with me, won't he?"

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

He turned his head and looked at his silly son grinning from ear to ear, and he couldn't help but get angry.

Emperor Kangwu threw a memorial at him and yelled, "Control your daughter!"

Prince Rui instinctively tilted his head to dodge the "hidden weapon," and said aggrievedly, "Father, what happened to my daughter?"

"That was handled brilliantly!"

As he spoke, Prince Rui puffed out his chest with a sense of pride.

So proud.

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

Heart plug!

My eyes hurt.

Emperor Kangwu closed his eyes and spoke weakly, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Anyone could see that something was wrong, but the evidence was there, and the final outcome was good for Da Rui, so the people of Da Rui naturally wouldn't cause trouble for no reason.

As for Qi Yan and... compensation is the decision that minimizes his losses.

The truth is no longer important.

The result should be the result that everyone wants to see.

Prince Rui remained silent, but Qi Jingxi spoke directly: "Grandfather, Qi Rongyao bullied my sister, so we were thinking of getting revenge."

"Qi Rongyao is a young lady, and the Emperor has already punished her, so it's naturally inappropriate for us to lay a hand on her."

"So, we thought we'd beat up Qi Jinghong and vent our anger."

"Of course, later in the Ministry of Personnel, I will also let him experience what frustration is!" Qi Jingxi puffed out his chest as he said this.

He was very confident about this.

"My brother and I have prepared the alibi." Qi Jingxi said, then looked at Qi Zhiyu with a puzzled expression. "As for the jade pendant, we don't know anything about it."

Their goal was quite simple: they just wanted to beat up Qi Jinghong and vent their anger.

After listening, Emperor Kangwu nodded and looked at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen'an, you speak."

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "There's not much to say."

"I knew my brother and his gang were going to beat up Qi Jinghong to get revenge for me, so I thought, since we're already going to beat him up, we might as well do something else while we're at it, so as not to waste this opportunity."

Emperor Kangwu watched as Qi Zhiyu stared at that seemingly harmless face and uttered such shocking words, and felt a chill run down his spine.

Her casual act... was a little too frightening.

"I happened to know that the Third Princess had a skilled craftsman by her side, so I casually made a jade pendant exactly like my second brother's and threw it at the scene," Qi Zhiyu said casually.

"No matter what King Wu does, this jade pendant will implicate Qi Yanhe."

Anyway, we're sure to get some benefits.

Emperor Kangwu understood: "You got the jade pendant, and the craftsman was indeed turned by you only during the time between your entry into the palace and your time in the court."

"Mm." Qi Zhiyu nodded.

Her matter-of-fact attitude left Emperor Kangwu speechless, and well, he also had a bit of a toothache.

Qi Zhiyu looked around and suddenly laughed.

"Actually, it's very simple," Qi Zhiyu said slowly.

"The jewelry worn by the Third Princess was imbued with a sense of resentment."

"And the source of that resentment was in her own residence."

"I just casually got a jade pendant to drag that craftsman out."

"On the way to the imperial court, I gave him a poison pill and promised him that I would avenge the massacre of his family."

He agreed.

Qi Jingxi sighed, "It's a blood feud; no wonder he agreed and bravely faced death."

"No, he's not dead," Qi Zhiyu said. "He should be waking up by now."

"Dad, arrange a position for him. His craftsmanship is so good, the jewelry he makes will definitely be very profitable."

"Yes," Prince Rui readily agreed, "Your mother can arrange this."

The family's finances were all managed by the princess, and Prince Rui did not interfere.

"Okay." Qi Zhiyu naturally had no objection; after all, she wouldn't get involved in such matters.

Too tired.

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

While swindling a thousand fine horses from the Qi Kingdom, Chen An also managed to get a craftsman who could make a fortune for his family.

The result she inadvertently caused... is so enviable!

"The fine horses of Qi Kingdom..." Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu replied directly, "I'll go to the border to receive it then."

"I'm going too!" Qi Jingxi exclaimed quickly.

"You stay home and don't keep thinking about going out to play!" Prince Rui scolded him.

Qi Jingxi said, feeling wronged, "Dad, I went to protect my sister!"

Qi Jingchen chuckled: "If you go, Yu'er will have to protect you."

Qi Jingxi: "...Brother, are you still my real brother?"

"You don't trust me at all?"

Qi Jingchen nodded seriously: "Yes."

You could say they didn't give him the slightest bit of face.

Qi Jingxi scratched his head, gritting his back teeth: "You really are my brother."

Qi Jingchen rolled her eyes at him: "Stop talking nonsense."

Qi Jingxi is furious!

Qi Zhiyu glanced at Emperor Kangwu: "Grandfather, it's alright, I'll be going back now."

"Go then," Emperor Kangwu said with a smile.

As soon as Qi Zhiyu left, Prince Rui rushed to Emperor Kangwu's side.

"Father, Yu'er trusts us." Prince Rui gazed earnestly into Emperor Kangwu's eyes.

Emperor Kangwu slapped Prince Rui away in response.
