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

If he wanted to clear himself of all responsibility, it would be very easy.

Even if Qi Yan wanted to implicate him, he had no evidence.

On the contrary, he obtained a handle that Qi Yan had on his plan to kill Qi Zhiyu.

For cooperation to work, there must be such a bond.

In this way, everyone's talents will be intertwined, and they will work together towards the same goal without having any ulterior motives.

"Your Highness, once Qi Zhiyu's matter is resolved, I would like to invite you to a place," the man said with a smile.

"That was a gift from our boss to the prince."

"What?" King Wu asked curiously.

"Gold and silver that can help Your Highness succeed!" The man's words caused the King of Wu's expression to change drastically.

"Gold and silver? How much?" the King of Wu pressed.

"Enough for Your Highness to support an elite cavalry force of a thousand men." The man laughed smugly.

The King of Wu was excited.

Elite!

Cavalry!

The reason there are so few cavalry is because the cost of recruiting them is too high.

I can't afford to raise them!

Putting everything else aside, raising horses is a considerable expense!

A thousand elite cavalrymen... How could the King of Wu not be tempted by such wealth?

"Your Highness!" the servant called out, knocking on the door.

"What is it?" the King of Wu asked.

"The Third Princess has sent word that she requests your presence at the palace regarding Princess Chen'an's absence all night," a servant announced from outside the door.

King Wu frowned: "Hmm."

What is Jin Yi up to now?

Why insist on sending him to the palace?

"Your Highness, please go ahead," the man said with a confident smile. "Those searching for Princess Chen'an should have found her body by now."

After hearing this, the King of Wu stood up and said, "I should indeed go and see."

He wanted to see Qi Zhiyu's body with his own eyes.

The man added a reminder: "Your Highness, you might not look very good. You should be prepared."

"It doesn't matter, she's dead, that's her fate."

If anyone's to blame, it's Qi Zhiyu's bad luck.

Why would she give up being a proper princess and insist on going against him?

This is what happens!

His son was beaten, and he still hasn't gotten an explanation.

If it weren't for the people his mother had trained in advance finding him, he would have truly given up.

Just then, when this person came looking for him, Qi Yanhe asked him if he knew any people in the martial arts world.

This is such a coincidence.

He felt that God was on his side.

This time... Qi Zhiyu is still alive?

King Wu quickly changed his clothes and went to the palace with a heart full of excitement.

If Qi Zhiyu were to die, he, as her uncle, would make sure to give her a proper send-off.

King Wu and Princess Qi Yan arrived at the palace gate one after the other. Princess Qi Yan should have arrived faster, but her wound was in pain, so the carriage could not go fast.

That's fine too. They can send a joint report and wait for Emperor Kangwu to summon them in.

After they received permission, they followed the eunuch who was leading the way to the Imperial Study.

After entering, the group bowed.

After Emperor Kangwu told them to dispense with the formalities, he asked curiously, "What's going on? Why did you all come together?"

"Father, I am worried about Chen'an." This time, the Third Princess did not lose her temper, but instead put on a worried look.

"Yesterday, I was too angry because of my injury. After returning home, I started to worry about Chen'an."

"I heard that she didn't return home all night, and I was worried about her, so I came to the palace to see if there was any news of her."

"No," Emperor Kangwu answered simply.

"Your Majesty, didn't you send anyone to look for him?" The Third Princess looked at Prince Rui.

Prince Rui said, "My father has already arranged for people to search, so I won't go the extra mile."

"Your Majesty, you're doing something wrong," the Third Princess rebuked. "That's your daughter; how can you be so indifferent?"

"If you don't know who to send or how to find them, you can ask the King of Wu."

The Third Princess smiled and said, "The Prince of Wu is more familiar with the capital than you are, and he knows more about many things in the capital than you do."

"Father, this matter concerns the safety of Chen'an. Perhaps we should entrust it to Prince Wu."

Emperor Kangwu looked at the Third Princess, and he was no longer disappointed.

He assumed that since he had no expectations for this daughter, there was no question of disappointment.

"Jinyi," Emperor Kangwu said calmly.

"Father?" The third princess asked, puzzled, not knowing what her father wanted to say.

"Does the arrangement of affairs in the court... require the involvement of a princess who has married out of the country?" Emperor Kangwu asked, without a trace of anger in his tone.

However, the Third Princess inexplicably shivered and felt a chill run down her spine.

"Father, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just worried about Chen'an," the Third Princess said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I'm worried about Chen'an too, you understand. I've always been this soft-hearted." The Third Princess looked at Prince Rui, trying her best to prove herself.

Even if Chen An used me as a shield, she's still just a child. I won't hold it against her.

"I just want to find her as soon as possible, to prevent anything from happening to her!"

Prince Rui smiled slightly and said, "If something were to happen, it would have happened long ago."

"Jinyi, I have a question."

"You invited Chen An out, and by sheer coincidence, you ran into the assassin."

"Nothing like this has happened around the capital in so many years."

"No one has ever dared to risk their life by assassinating a member of the imperial family so openly and brazenly in the capital."

"Such a coincidence makes me suspect that it was orchestrated!"

The third princess was taken aback: "Brother, do you think I sent someone to do it?"

"I was there at the time, and I was injured."

"How could I have put myself in danger?"

Prince Rui smiled slightly: "The self-inflicted injury ruse... such a simple and crude scheme is really meaningless."

"Prince Rui," Qi Yanhe said in a deep voice, "you can check at our residence. All the people we brought are here."

"We've come to Da Rui, how could anyone still be impersonating an assassin?"

There's a roster of how many people they brought with them when they came.

It's not something you can just casually bring into Da Rui.

"Exactly!" The Third Princess immediately regained her confidence. "Brother, if you doubt us, then investigate!"

Her husband was more shrewd; he found a desperate outlaw from the martial arts world.

Now, even if Prince Rui wanted to implicate them, he would have no evidence.

"I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. No one can scheme against my daughter!" Prince Rui's eyes turned cold.

For some reason, seeing that look in his eyes sent a chill down the Third Princess's spine.

The usually gentle and refined Prince Rui made her feel extremely dangerous!

Qi Yan looked at Prince Rui with a meaningful gaze.

As expected of the former crown prince, he is indeed extraordinary.

Beneath its calm exterior lies a hidden sharpness.

"Your Majesty, the people who went to find Princess Chen'an have returned," a eunuch hurriedly reported.

"Let them in quickly!" Emperor Kangwu said urgently.

The third princess was furious.

When it came to Chen'an's matter, the Emperor lost his composure.

Is Chen'an that important to the Emperor?

The Third Princess's anger instantly turned into ecstatic joy as the person entered.

What is that?

What are those two people carrying?

stretcher?

The stretcher was completely covered with a cloth, so no face was visible!

Chen An... is dead?!
