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

The King of Wu was greatly alarmed: "The Xu family?"

"Given it to the Xu family? How could that be?"

"Why is it impossible?" Qi Zhiyu frowned slightly. "The Xu family has accumulated wealth over the years, and they have a strong sense of righteousness."

"Not only did he teach, but he also contributed all the things that his family had collected and organized over generations."

"Besides medical books, there are various prescriptions, and even unique insights into planting and breeding."

The King of Wu's mind went blank for a moment.

What is the Xu family up to?

Wasn't it supposed to be to cultivate influence within the central government?

King Wu really wanted to ask his queen immediately what was going on with her family.

However, he still retained a sliver of reason and knew that he couldn't ask at this moment.

He couldn't let anyone know that he had a connection with the Xu family.

Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.

Qi Zhiyu looked at King Wu with confusion: "Why are you so surprised?"

"King Wu, your reaction is a bit excessive."

King Wu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Shouldn't those things belonging to the Xu family be handed over to the imperial court?"

"Why should it be given to you?"

Qi Zhiyu looked surprised and innocent: "They didn't give it to me."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Qi Zhiyu turned to Emperor Kangwu: "Grandfather, weren't those things from the Xu family given to you directly?"

"You handed it over to my second brother, and asked him to find a suitable person to handle it."

"Grandfather, how could the King of Wu wrong me?"

Emperor Kangwu was furious that his beloved granddaughter had been wronged.

His displeased gaze fell upon the King of Wu, as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Fourth brother, where did you hear that the Xu family's things were for Chen'an?"

Faced with Emperor Kangwu's questioning, the King of Wu opened his mouth but could not answer.

"Speak!" Emperor Kangwu shouted.

The King of Wu trembled and hurriedly cupped his hands, saying, "Father, it was Chen'an who just suggested bestowing a title upon Duan Yining."

"What is the relationship between these two?" Emperor Kangwu asked again.

The King of Wu's lips moved, but he didn't know how to explain.

"Sigh..." Qi Zhiyu sighed, "Grandfather, let it go. Perhaps the Prince of Wu is just that straightforward and simple-minded."

"I don't blame him for misunderstanding me."

Qi Zhiyu was smiling, but the King of Wu wished he could stab her to death!

What does Qi Zhiyu mean?

What does it mean to be straightforward and simple?

Does that mean he's not smart enough, doesn't do things carefully, and doesn't think things through?

Qi Zhiyu never misses an opportunity to belittle him!

Emperor Kangwu smiled: "Chen'an, you are such a generous and kind-hearted child."

Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly and replied crisply, "Yes."

"Sigh... I can't help it, I'm just too soft-hearted."

"After all, the King of Wu is my royal uncle. We're all family, so I'll just have to endure this little grievance."

Everyone: "..."

May I ask... what grievance did Princess Chen'an suffer?

Ok.

On the surface, it seems that Prince Wu's actions were indeed an aggressive misunderstanding of Princess Chen'an, but... it seems that it was Prince Wu who was hurt.

"Princess, you've gone too far!" Princess Wu finally spoke up, unable to contain herself any longer. "The King of Wu hasn't done anything to you."

"But every word you said was pushing him into a corner!"

Everyone knew that Princess Wu was truly furious, and she seemed determined not to let the matter rest until Qi Zhiyu gave her a reasonable explanation.

"Forcing him into a corner..." Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly with emotion. Just when everyone thought she was going to explain, Qi Zhiyu suddenly smiled, looking at Princess Wu with a bright smile.

"So what?"

"If you're not as skilled as others, shouldn't you just stand there and take the beating?" Qi Zhiyu smiled, but her deep eyes were chillingly cold.

It's like a bottomless, ancient ice abyss, mysterious and terrifying.

"Don't forget, you're the ones who started this. I was just retaliating," Qi Zhiyu sneered. "What? You lost, so you won't admit it and are now playing the victim?"

Everyone gasped in shock.

The princess is literally flipping the table!

They put the struggle for the crown prince position between King Rui of Wu right in the open, without any attempt to conceal it.

Princess Wu's guilty gaze flickered, but she still stubbornly retorted, "You haven't lost anything!"

"Losses?" Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "Princess Wu, if I suffered any losses, do you think today's matter is over?"

"You're not treating me like a human being at all. I have a temper too."

"Besides..." Qi Zhiyu suddenly smiled, her smile radiant.

King Wu felt a sudden tightness in his chest; a bad premonition tightened around his heart like a rope.

"We're just recommending talented people to the court, how can we say we've suffered a loss?" Qi Zhiyu looked sincerely at Princess Wu. "Princess, please tell me about it."

Princess Wu was so angry that her vision blurred and she almost fainted.

Everyone: "..."

The princess is so shameless.

They thought the princess had flipped the table, but now she's put it back down.

The key question is, did the princess have the courage to overturn the table, or did the King of Wu?

Does the King of Wu dare to say that he has suffered any losses?

With Duan Yining's ascension to the throne, the Earl of Yongning, who had pledged allegiance to the King of Wu, lost his value.

The loss of not providing medicine to soldiers is truly immeasurable.

They all feel sorry for the King of Wu now.

Princess...you're too ruthless!

But Qi Zhiyu kept pressing, "Princess Wu, tell me."

"How did I put the King of Wu in such a desperate situation?"

"I was just going along with what you all said, thinking that the Emperor should bestow a title upon Duan Yining."

"The King of Wu disagreed with me; he felt that Duan Yining was not up to the task."

"And then, he lost."

"So what if we lost? Everyone's just trying to get talented people to serve the court."

"Is this how you drive him into a corner?"

"Oh dear... Is the King of Wu now in an awkward position?"

Qi Zhiyu clicked her tongue in amazement, "The King of Wu is far too petty."

"If a talented person fails to catch the King of Wu's eye in the future, will they not be recommended or given important positions?"

Crit!

Absolutely a critical hit!

The way everyone looked at Qi Zhiyu changed.

Grand Secretary Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the princess was truly ruthless.

Princess Wu was truly wrong.

What did they just say, forcing the King of Wu into a desperate situation?

This is the real dead end.

Those who already follow the King of Wu, or those who want to pledge allegiance to him, should think carefully before acting.

If they were not favored by the King of Wu, no matter how capable they were, they would only waste their lives and never be given important positions.

Qi Jingxi arranged for Duan Yining, so did he also arrange for others to contribute the things from the Xu family?

Those who pledged allegiance to the King of Wu, whose families were not valued but had capable sons... were they all won over by Qi Jingxi?

Grand Secretary Zhang looked at Prince Rui with alarm.

No wonder he was raised by His Majesty from a young age.

Even after being crippled, they still didn't let their guard down.

What can the King of Wu use to fight against the King of Rui?
