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

With a thud, the Third Princess was startled and looked over.

Then, the look of ecstasy on her face burst completely, like a bubble in the sunlight, leaving not a trace behind.

She stared intently at Emperor Kangwu, who had stood up.

He leaned forward, his slightly parted lips trembling gently, his entire weight supported by his hands resting on the desk.

If his arms were to give way even slightly, the Third Princess was certain that he would fall heavily to the ground.

Even the two arms that support the whole body are shaking uncontrollably.

Sour and astringent!

Heartbreaking!

anger!

Unwilling!

envy!

A mix of emotions welled up in the Third Princess's heart in an instant.

Qi Zhiyu is dead, is her father really that heartbroken?

My father, who is usually so composed, actually lost his composure in front of others!

What's so good about Qi Zhiyu?

Is she that important to my father?

"Your Majesty." The two soldiers put down the stretcher and knelt down to pay their respects.

Emperor Kangwu stared intently at the stretcher, completely ignoring the two men.

The soldiers were somewhat bewildered. His Majesty kept speaking; should they report back?

"Chen'an, why are you so unlucky?" The Third Princess's shout startled the two soldiers.

The third princess rushed to the stretcher, but the mud-covered stretcher made her unable to bring herself to lift it.

She immediately pulled out a handkerchief, covered her face, and began to sob, "How could you die?"

Her shoulders trembled, and her crying stopped abruptly as she gasped in pain.

Qi Yan cursed her in his heart as an idiot, but still quickly went over and pulled her into his arms.

Was she crying?

She was covering her face with a handkerchief, her face beaming with excitement.

The problem is, this is in the imperial study in front of Emperor Kangwu.

Was Emperor Kangwu easily fooled?

If he were so easily fooled, the Qi Kingdom wouldn't have been so suppressed for so many years.

He pressed the third princess's head against his shoulder, patted her back gently, and comforted her, "Don't be too sad, take care of yourself."

You still have injuries.

"Damn it!" King Wu exclaimed angrily, then clasped his hands and pleaded, "Father, please allow me to lead troops to annihilate those bandits!"

Emperor Kangwu's gaze fell upon him.

The King of Wu declared with righteous indignation, "How dare they assassinate the current princess! Your subject will bring back their heads to avenge Chen'an!"

Emperor Kangwu did not speak, but instead leaned on the desk and slowly sat back down.

After sitting down, he picked up his teacup, slowly took a sip, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Boss, what did you say?"

Prince Rui sneered, "Your subject has nothing to say."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not let those thieves get away with this!" King Wu said through gritted teeth, filled with righteous indignation.

Prince Rui just looked at him calmly.

His face showed neither joy nor sorrow.

King Wu was momentarily dazed; the Prince Rui before him seemed to overlap with Emperor Kangwu.

picture!

They look so alike!

At this moment, Prince Rui's calm and composed demeanor made him think that he was facing Emperor Kangwu.

The thought flashed through the King of Wu's mind, and then an unnamed anger instantly surged to his head.

Was it because Prince Rui resembled him that Father Emperor favored Prince Rui?

Prince Rui is so much like his father, isn't it because his father carefully nurtured him from a young age?

Furthermore, if it weren't for his father's favoritism, how could Prince Rui have such a calm and confident demeanor?

At this moment, the King of Wu seemed to be repeatedly roasted on the flames of jealousy.

"I've avenged Chen'an!" King Wu patted his chest and promised.

"Chen'an, your life is so bitter. You are dead, and your father couldn't avenge you. In the end, you still have to rely on your royal uncle." The Third Princess composed herself, suppressing her excitement and joy and turning her face into one full of sorrow, before getting up from Qi Yanhe's arms.

"Brother, I heard that Chen'an is highly skilled in martial arts. Even she didn't come back alive, which shows how powerful those bandits were."

"Why don't we let the King of Wu go?"

"After all, the King of Wu is more familiar with many things, while my elder brother has only just taken over and is not as adept as the King of Wu."

Prince Rui looked at the Third Princess with a smile in his eyes.

This is an attempt to return to the King of Wu what he had relinquished.

At the same time, I also wanted to provoke him.

If he insists on going, she intends to take his life as well.

After all, Yu'er died at the hands of those people.

Is this really the younger sister he's watched grow up?

The Third Princess was stunned by Prince Rui's faint smile.

What does that mean?

Does he look down on her?

"Royal brother, how can you still laugh?" the Third Princess angrily rebuked. "We are heartbroken and furious for Chen'an, and you, as their father, can still laugh!"

As the third princess spoke, she staggered forward, looked at the stretcher on the ground, and said with immense sorrow, "Look at this stretcher, it was completely hastily put together."

"Covered with... a dirty cloth."

"Chen'an, that was a young girl, just turned 18, a beautiful young woman, yet she was covered with such tattered cloth and carried back on such a makeshift stretcher..."

"Brother, doesn't your heart ache?"

"Don't you want to kill those thieves with your own hands?"

Prince Rui looked at the Third Princess, who was constantly bouncing around, and smiled silently: "Jinyi, you've really grown up."

They've become too ambitious.

However, they only grew tall, but not smart.

The Third Princess frowned. Why was Prince Rui bringing this up?

Qi Yanhe narrowed his eyes slightly. Something felt off.

Qi Zhiyu died, and even Emperor Kangwu lost his composure, yet Prince Rui remained completely unmoved... Is this a case of being unwilling to acknowledge or dare to face reality after such a great tragedy?

But judging from Prince Rui's appearance, he doesn't seem that fragile.

"Brother, how about this? Let the Prince of Wu take you with him. When the Prince of Wu catches those thieves, you can kill them!" The Third Princess made the arrangements on her own.

"In that case, you have avenged your daughter with your own hands."

"People outside will say you were brave and personally captured and killed the thieves."

The King of Wu smiled slightly and said, "That's very good, Your Majesty. Come with me."

"How can you rest easy if you don't avenge this?"

"You usually dote on Chen An."

"Were they all fake?"

King Rui's gaze fell on King Wu. Although he showed no emotion, King Wu felt that he was being looked down upon.

Qi Zhiyu is already dead, so why does Prince Rui still have the leisure to despise him?

Prince Rui spoke up: "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to personally kill those thieves."

The Third Princess said disdainfully, "Brother, I already told you to let the Prince of Wu capture those thieves. All you need to do is kill them."

"What? You don't even have the courage to avenge your daughter with your own hands?"

Prince Rui tucked his hands into his sleeves and sighed helplessly: "I would like to kill them, but unfortunately, those people are already as dead as can be."

"I don't have a chance."

As he spoke, Prince Rui looked towards the doorway, a proud smile on his face: "The person who can kill my daughter hasn't been born yet."
