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

The Third Princess changed her clothes and went to Prince Rui's residence by carriage.

Along the way, she had planned out exactly what to say that would be the most hurtful, yet leave no room for criticism.

Since returning to Da Rui, she hasn't had a single day of true happiness because of Qi Zhiyu.

This time, Qi Zhiyu's whereabouts are unknown, which finally gave her an opportunity.

No matter how excited the Third Princess was, she couldn't go any faster.

Because... the injury on my shoulder really hurts.

She's used to a life of luxury; when has she ever suffered like this?

The carriage moved so slowly that pedestrians on the road couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

What is this carriage doing?

It's slower than walking on two legs.

Finally, the Third Princess's carriage arrived at the entrance of Prince Rui's residence.

At this moment, the Third Princess was completely listless, her face pale with pain.

"Jinyi, are you alright?" Qi Yan asked worriedly.

"It's alright." The Third Princess understood. She took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance.

Finally, she could vent her anger; she had to hold on.

Soon, the servant who had gone to knock on the door returned and reported from outside the carriage: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the masters of the Prince Rui's residence are all not in the mansion."

The Third Princess was furious: "It's understandable that Prince Rui and his son went to court or were on duty, but what about Princess Rui's wife?"

The servant dared not speak.

Is it something he dares to ask, or even is he allowed to ask?

Qi Yanhe advised, "Since there's no one at Prince Rui's residence, let's go back first."

"Your injury..."

He looked at the Third Princess's injured shoulder with heartache.

The Third Princess was in a bad mood. She had to vent her anger today, or she would be furious!

"Enter the palace! I want to see my father." The Third Princess sneered, "Chen'an was attacked with me yesterday, and her whereabouts are currently unknown. As her aunt, I must go and inquire about the situation."

Qi Yanhe couldn't dissuade her, so he had no choice but to go along with her and enter the palace.

In the palace, after court, Emperor Kangwu was reading memorials in his study.

Prince Rui, unable to contain himself any longer, blurted out, "Father, what exactly are you worried about?"

Emperor Kangwu looked up and rebuked him with displeasure: "I am worried about Chen'an."

Prince Rui looked at him speechlessly.

If this weren't his biological father, he wouldn't even want to talk to him.

"What are you so worried about with just a few petty thieves?" Prince Rui's disdain was plain on his face, without any attempt to hide it.

Then, Prince Rui skillfully tilted his head to dodge a flying memorial.

"Father, you need to change your habit of carelessly throwing memorials around." Prince Rui bent down helplessly, picked up the memorial, patted it, and then placed it on the desk.

Why does this person become more and more like a child as they get older?

That's ridiculous.

"That's your own daughter. No matter how capable she is, you still have to worry about her, right?" Emperor Kangwu scolded.

What an unfilial son!

"I'm worried," Prince Rui said, feeling utterly wronged.

He's a father; how could he not worry about his own child?

The problem is, he's rational.

After worrying and then rationally analyzing the situation, he realized that the chances of his daughter getting into trouble were practically zero, so why was he still worried?

"I can't see it at all," Emperor Kangwu sneered.

"Father, your worries are unnecessary." Prince Rui naturally knew what his father was thinking.

"Is Yu'er the kind of person who lacks discretion?"

"There is absolutely no way she could have killed her way to the State of Qi and taken the head of its king."

"If she really does that, Qi Kingdom will immediately fall into chaos. Once Qi Kingdom is in chaos, other countries will seize the opportunity to get a share of the spoils, and Da Rui will also be dragged into it."

Prince Rui puffed out his chest smugly as he spoke, "Yu'er would never put me in danger during wartime!"

That's how much his daughter loves him!

Emperor Kangwu narrowed his eyes; his hands were itching!

Want to punch someone!

"You're superfluous, you're superfluous to think of these things?" Emperor Kangwu sneered.

Prince Rui's smug expression froze, and then he looked helplessly at Emperor Kangwu: "Father, I understand your jealousy that I have a good daughter."

"But you don't have to be so barbed, do you?"

"When you encounter a problem, isn't it basic to consider all aspects?"

"I've thought about it, and I'm sure Yu'er won't do that, so I'll stop thinking about it."

"Dad, the way you look so jealous is... not very nice."

Emperor Kangwu was so angry he laughed: "Jealousy?"

"I am indeed jealous. Jealous that you can give birth to a good child, while I gave birth to a useless one!"

Prince Rui: "..."

His father scolded him, and he had evidence, but... he didn't dare to refute it.

His father glanced at the feather duster next to him several times out of the corner of his eye.

He's such a grown man, he doesn't want to get whipped.

"There's still no news from Chen'an. What is she doing?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

Prince Rui looked at Emperor Kangwu in surprise, then pointed to his own nose: "How would I know?"

"What use are you?" Emperor Kangwu threw a memorial at him.

Prince Rui dodged away, feeling wronged.

He's quite useful.

Even if grandparents love their grandchildren more, they can't just ignore the life or death of their own son, can they?

Qi Zhiyu's whereabouts have been on the minds of many.

In the Wu King's residence, the Wu King sat in his study and asked, "Are you sure you can kill Qi Zhiyu?"

The man sitting next to me was clearly dressed in the attire of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world or江湖义气, a code of honor among江湖 people).

He was completely out of place in the exquisite and grand study of the King of Wu.

Upon hearing the King of Wu's words, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured."

"Those people are all suicide squad members."

"They will fight to the death to save Qi Zhiyu's life, and if that doesn't work, they will lure her into a series of traps."

"Even if she were a celestial being, she wouldn't survive."

The King of Wu was still uneasy: "Qi Zhiyu's martial arts skills are extremely high; she single-handedly wiped out an entire tribe!"

The man laughed heartily: "Your Highness, you must believe in our strength."

"Over the years, we've all crawled back from the gates of hell!"

"Our strength is built upon countless lives."

As the man spoke, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes. His eyes were so crazed that they seemed less human and more like those of a ferocious beast ready to pounce at any moment!

"We were all trained by the Empress for the Prince; we are the sharpest weapons in the world!"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared in the eyes of the King of Wu.

He truly hadn't expected his mother to give him such a surprise.

From the moment his mother entered the palace, he began training assassins in the martial arts world outside the palace.

Over the past few decades, this kind of underworld force has grown into a behemoth.

Normally, they are scattered in various places, seemingly inconspicuous and without any contact. However, when this person came to him, he realized that his mother had given him such a big surprise!

"Have you kept this matter discreet enough?" King Wu asked.

The man chuckled, "Your Highness, rest assured. When Qi Yan contacted us, we made very firm demands."

"The prince is just the one who started it; he won't suspect that we are his people."

The King of Wu was satisfied.

When Qi Yanhe found him, he only asked if he knew any people in the martial arts world.

He only provided his contact information; he knew nothing else.
