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

Princess Wu deliberately slowed down a few steps and gave her maid a wink.

The maidservant understood and chased after her, pleading and crying out, "Princess, Princess, it's all our Princess's fault, please don't blame Miss Fu!"

"She was just kindly reminding you not to blaspheme against the gods."

"This is a sacred Buddhist place; you really shouldn't be grilling meat here."

It must be said that the maid's shouts were quite skillful; her voice was full of anxiety and humble pleading, coupled with a helpless sob, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The temple is very popular, with many people coming to offer incense and ask for talismans.

Before Qi Zhiyu and her group even reached the place where the carriages were parked, they naturally attracted the attention of the pilgrims.

Princess Chen'an is quite famous in the capital.

Almost everyone in the capital had heard of Princess Chen'an, and even those who had never seen her knew what she had done.

Nowadays, when someone shouts "Princess," the first person they think of is Princess Chen'an.

Even though the Prince Rui's Mansion enjoyed a very high reputation and good name among the people, the worshippers still couldn't tolerate what Qi Zhiyu did.

Is it acceptable to kill and eat meat within a Buddhist community?

unacceptable!

When others tried to persuade her, she even arrested them.

That's incredibly arrogant!

Of course, despite their anger, not one of them spoke up.

They understand the principle that the common people shouldn't fight against the officials.

Moreover, Princess Rui always gave alms, and they also benefited greatly from it.

Princess Chen'an is still young; if she were to change her ways, that would be fine.

Princess Rui, being such a kind and upright person, would surely teach her daughter well.

Qi Zhiyu stopped in an open space, where not far away were commoners who had heard the commotion and were looking in her direction, as well as many members of noble families.

She understood ordinary people, but as for those noble families... if Princess Wu hadn't brought them here, she would have twisted Princess Wu's head off and used it as a football.

Princess Wu really doesn't miss any opportunity to step on their family to rise to power.

During this period, the King of Wu made a series of moves in an attempt to win over the people and enhance his prestige.

The best way for the King of Wu to reverse his disadvantage was naturally to crush them.

With comparison, it was easier for the King of Wu to stand out.

She should give Princess Wu a chance to prove herself, shouldn't she?

They're relatives, after all.

Yes, she values ​​family ties very much.

Princess Wu finally caught up, panting heavily.

"Princess." Princess Wu's breathing was rapid, as if she was extremely anxious.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and advised, "Princess Wu, there's no need to be in such a hurry. You can talk things out slowly."

"I see you are breathing rapidly, but your face is not even slightly flushed, and there is not a drop of sweat on your forehead. It doesn't look like you've been traveling."

"Your unusually rapid breathing might indicate some underlying illness. It would be best to have a good doctor examine you carefully."

Princess Wu: "..."

Qi Zhiyu is the one who's sick!

Qi Zhiyu's whole family is sick!

"Eh? Princess Wu, what's with that disapproving look on your face?" Qi Zhiyu asked, somewhat puzzled, then, as if just realizing something, exclaimed in surprise, "You've stopped breathing!"

"You recovered so quickly?"

"Or...were you just pretending?"

"Princess Consort Wu, why are you pretending?"

The ladies and young women from noble families around them all fell silent upon seeing this.

As expected of Princess Chen'an, her familiar style.

They really don't hold back at all; they say whatever comes to mind and lay it all out in the open.

Princess Wu's move... was not only completely useless, but it also made her look bad.

"Your Highness is joking..." Princess Wu gritted her teeth, trying to find a way to cover her shame.

However, Qi Zhiyu disagreed: "Why would I joke with you?"

"You pretended you couldn't catch up, just so that when there were more people, you could publicly accuse me of abusing my power and bullying the daughter of a subject, right?"

"However, Princess Wu, next time you need to put on an act, please make it more convincing."

"Looking at you, not even blushing or sweating, who would believe you were in a hurry to catch up and stop me?"

"And one more thing..." Qi Zhiyu chuckled, reminding him, "Next time you'd better actually come after me."

"After all, I have a bad temper. I was just in a good mood today and didn't have any murderous intent."

"If I happen to be in a bad mood one day... while you're putting on an act, Fu Xinyu will already be dead. What do you think you'll do then?"

Fu Xinyu froze, her expectation instantly replaced by fear.

She then remembered that Princess Chen'an was ruthless in killing.

She couldn't help but tremble.

The initial fear was mostly feigned, but the current fear is an instinctive reaction.

Princess Wu forced an awkward smile: "Your Highness, you're joking..."

Qi Zhiyu smiled at Princess Wu: "Princess Wu, remember this: you are not worthy to joke with me."

Princess Wu gritted her teeth in anger, her fake smile crumbling: "What, does the princess dare to kill someone without cause?"

"Such disregard for human life is unacceptable, even if it were presented to His Majesty, the princess would still be in the wrong."

Qi Zhiyu looked at Princess Wu with fear: "I was resting peacefully when someone tried to force their way in after my guards clearly reprimanded and stopped me... Is it okay to classify this as an assassin?"

"Killing her is the only right thing to do!"

Fu Xinyu's legs went weak, and if it weren't for the maid next to her holding her down, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

"It's only because I, the princess, am merciful that I spared her life," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.

"Princess Consort of Wu, next time someone tries to assassinate the King of Wu, you must persuade him to show mercy."

"Otherwise, if even one assassin dies because of the King of Wu, then you will be guilty of indiscriminate killing! You will be severely punished by your imperial grandfather!"

Princess Wu felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

If this matter isn't clarified, the prince will be forced to take the beating in the future.

If anyone tries to harm the prince, the prince can only endure it and cannot retaliate.

If I fight back, will I be severely punished?

Is there any way out?

Moreover, she felt that, given Qi Zhiyu's style of doing things, if she accepted Qi Zhiyu's statement, Qi Zhiyu would dare to send someone to assassinate the prince tonight!

"Princess, I misspoke just now," Princess Wu admitted her mistake immediately.

She heard the sighs of the onlookers in the distance.

Even if it's a huge loss of face, it's better than the prince losing his life.

If the prince dies, how can she and her son still live?

"I just think that although Miss Fu acted somewhat rashly just now, her advice was very correct." As soon as Princess Wu said this, Fu Xinyu looked over incredulously.

What nonsense is the Princess Consort of Wu spouting?

Is she acting rashly?

She's from a very respectable family.

Doesn't she care about her reputation or her dignity?

How could the Princess Consort of Wu tarnish her reputation like this?

Qi Zhiyu asked, amused, "What advice she gave was right?"

"Naturally, it is the princess who should not kill and eat meat here, thus disrupting the purity of the Buddhist temple," said Princess Wu with righteous indignation.
