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

Outside the palace, Duan Yining bowed to Qi Jingxi and said, "Thank you."

Qi Jingxi punched him in the shoulder, causing Duan Yining to stumble.

"We're all brothers, why are you being so polite with me?" Qi Jingxi raised an eyebrow with a grin. "If you're really grateful, then study the Xu family's medical books thoroughly and become a good doctor who can be of use to the people of Da Rui."

Duan Yining smiled smugly and said arrogantly, "This is nothing."

He raised his chin, his demeanor defiant: "With my talent, it would be impossible for me not to become the world's number one doctor."

Qi Jingxi bluntly retorted, "That's really impossible."

Duan Yining's face darkened: "Are we brothers or not?"

"The best in the world? That's my sister." Qi Jingxi proudly raised her head.

This is the truth, and no one is allowed to question it.

Duan Yining was astonished: "The princess isn't human, she's a goddess! How can she be ranked among the highest in the world?"

Qi Jingxi loosened his clenched fist, which he was about to use to punch someone, and patted Duan Yining on the shoulder: "You're the one who knows how to talk."

Duan Yining glanced at Qi Jingxi's hand and chuckled coldly, "If I didn't know how to talk, would I be crawling on the floor looking for my teeth by now?"

"It won't come to that." Qi Jingxi laughed heartily. "He's still my brother. At most, you'll just get a bruised and swollen face, but I'll still keep your teeth."

Duan Yining gritted his teeth: "Thank you so much."

"We're all brothers, no need to be so polite!" Qi Jingxi grinned, showing off his big white teeth.

Duan Yining looked at his smug expression and turned to leave.

What can we do if we don't leave?

Shall we fight?

He can't win a fight anyway, so he shouldn't make himself angry.

He wouldn't do something stupid.

Qi Jingxi happily mounted her horse and headed home.

Qi Zhiyu and her family were in a good mood, but King Wu was not so happy.

King Wu glared fiercely at his wife, whose cheeks were swollen and red. He gritted his teeth and forced out each word through gritted teeth: "Speak! What exactly does the Xu family want?"

If it weren't for saving face, he would have beaten her to death.

Her family didn't help him; instead, they helped his enemies!

Did the woman he married against all odds help him or ruin him?

"Your Highness, my family did this entirely to lower Prince Rui's and his men's guard!" Princess Wu explained.

"In this way, when the students they teach enter the court as officials after passing the imperial examinations, Prince Rui and his men will begin to doubt their stance."

The King of Wu did not speak, but stared intently at the Queen of Wu.

Princess Wu's heart pounded with anxiety.

It was thumping, as if it were about to shatter.

"That would be for the best." King Wu sneered and turned to leave.

Princess Wu was trembling all over.

What should she do about her son?

The King of Wu valued profit above all else.

She has lost her value, her son has lost his support, has the King of Wu abandoned her son?

It must be said that the Queen Consort of Wu understood the King of Wu very well.

Although he only had one legitimate son, he also had illegitimate sons.

He was quite different from Prince Rui; he had four concubines alone.

While King Wu was contemplating his next move, King Rui arrived home.

Upon entering the study, he was puzzled by the eerie silence within. Then, he looked at Qi Zhiyu, who was sitting leisurely to the side, and asked, "Daughter, what did you say again?"

Qi Zhiyu looked completely innocent: "I didn't say anything."

"I just mentioned the cards following the King of Wu."

Prince Rui sat down and nodded: "Indeed, it's time for him to play his next card."

"The Princess Consort of Wu is finished."

"He probably knew that Princess Wu hadn't told him the truth, but he wouldn't just kill her outright."

"What if the Xu family still has hope?"

The fourth brother will leave himself a way out.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "He is capable."

Prince Rui laughed: "You still think he's capable?"

He thought that his daughter's arrogant and disdainful nature meant that she didn't take the King of Wu seriously at all.

"Of course he's capable, otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen him when you had to back down back then." Qi Zhiyu still believed in her father's judgment.

At that time, the King of Wu was definitely the most suitable.

Whether it's due to the will of Heaven or something else.

"Sis, you're really boosting their morale a bit," Qi Jingxi said, blinking.

Qi Zhiyu rested her chin on her hand and looked at him: "Second Brother, no matter how capable he is, isn't he just bait for us?"

Qi Jingxi: "...Sister, I feel like if the King of Wu heard you say that, he would vomit blood and die."

His sister's words were really hurtful.

The more they acknowledge the King of Wu's abilities, the more their family's abilities are highlighted.

"He can't die." Qi Zhiyu shook her head. "The big fish hasn't been caught yet. He must live a good life."

Thank you for the way of Heaven here.

Give her such a clear anchor point.

The Heavenly Dao here is so generous.

Rumble!

A thunderclap boomed outside the window.

Qi Jingxi was startled and quickly went to the window to check.

The sky was cloudless.

a bolt from the blue?

What's going on?

"This weather is really strange." Qi Jingxi scratched his head, unable to figure it out.

However, sun showers do occur, though not frequently, but I have witnessed them quite a few times.

This bolt from the blue... well, it makes sense.

"Yeah, unpredictable, just like a child." Qi Zhiyu's eyes were full of mockery.

That made me angry.

The Heavenly Dao here lacks resolve.

"If the Princess Consort of Wu is no longer an option, then his concubine's family can be used," said Prince Rui. "His legitimate son has no hope, so his illegitimate son's maternal grandparents' family should start making moves."

Anyway, those people's interests were tied to King Wu's, so they couldn't be separated.

Since they can't disembark, those people will definitely fight to the death.

Especially their grandson, who was able to step down Qi Jinghong and rise to power, how could they not fight with all their might?

"Isn't this something you should have thought of?" Prince Rui looked at his two sons with displeasure.

What did their silence mean?

They couldn't even think of these things?

Qi Jingchen looked at his father helplessly; he wasn't that useless.

Qi Jingxi protested, "Father, what kind of look is that?"

"Of course we thought of that!"

"I've figured it out, why are you all reacting so strangely?" Prince Rui asked, puzzled.

Qi Jingxi slumped her shoulders and sighed heavily, "They're all my sisters."

"We're talking about the power of the King of Wu, and she's calculating what we can gain."

After Qi Jingxi finished speaking, she looked at her father with a resentful expression.

Hearing his sister say this, he paused for a moment, wondering if there was a problem.

Prince Rui snorted: "Is that all there is to it? Yu'er has only thought a few steps ahead."

Qi Jingxi wouldn't be so easily fooled: "Dad, you swallowed just now, you were scared too."

Prince Rui: "..."

Is it still okay to keep this son?

After all, it was his wife who went through so much trouble to conceive and give birth to her. To kill her would be such a betrayal of his wife.

"Nonsense! What's there to be scared of?" Prince Rui scolded sternly.

Qi Jingxi slammed her hand on the table dramatically: "How could I not be scared?"

"My sister was meticulously calculating every single income item, as if all those things belonged to our family."

That's terrifying!
