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

Fu Xinyu was helped back to her room, and her personal maid was heartbroken: "Miss, Miss, how are you?"

Fu Xinyu lay on the bed without saying a word.

The maid was terrified and hurriedly sent someone to fetch the family physician.

After the consultation, the medicine was prepared and brought to Fu Xinyu's bedside.

"Miss, please don't cry." The maid originally wanted to feed her medicine, but when she saw Fu Xinyu's tears flowing incessantly, she panicked.

"Miss, crying too much is bad for your health."

"What's the use of being injured?" Fu Xinyu murmured, her eyes lifeless.

Her lifeless appearance terrified the maid, who cried out, "Miss, please don't be like this, please don't be like this!"

Fu Xinyu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said in a hoarse voice, "Go find me some of the latest storybooks."

The maid responded, put down the medicine bowl, and hurried off to do it.

In contrast to the Fu family, things were calm on the Wu King's side. Although things did not go as they had initially planned, at least His Majesty knew that they were working for the people of Yiyang Prefecture.

"Your Highness, should we send something to the Fu family girl?" Princess Wu asked.

"In this matter, she was the one who suffered a loss."

At the crucial moment, Fu Xinyu didn't betray her, which shows she was quite sensible.

King Wu frowned: "His Majesty is currently disgusted with her. If you send her more gifts, wouldn't that confirm that you instructed her?"

What a brainless person.

Princess Wu hesitated, "But if we let her suffer this injustice for nothing, won't she harbor resentment when she enters the household later?"

"She dares!" King Wu sneered. "If it weren't for the fact that her father and brother are somewhat capable, how could she be worthy of entering the gates of my palace?"

"To call her a concubine is an understatement."

Princess Wu couldn't say anything and could only obey.

By evening, Princess Rui and the others had all returned home. After dinner, they went to the study to discuss matters.

"Fu Xinyu's relationship with Qi Jinglin is indeed unusual," Princess Rui said.

As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the people in the room changed, causing Princess Rui to frown slightly: "What's wrong with you all?"

"Mom, you really are my mom... Ouch!" Qi Jingxi cried out, clutching the back of her head, "You hit me again!"

"I'll get beaten silly sooner or later!"

Qi Jingchen looked at him with disdain: "If I don't hit you, you're pretty stupid."

"What do you mean, 'Your mother is really your mother'?"

"Could there be a fake mother?"

That idiot second son, he was never wronged when he was beaten.

Qi Jingxi looked pitifully at Princess Rui, feeling truly wronged: "Mother, I just wanted to express my admiration for how amazing you are."

Princess Rui glared at him: "There are so many other ways to express that meaning, why did you have to use this one?"

Qi Jingxi muttered under her breath, "Why not just express the meaning directly? Why insist on specifying which one?"

Princess Rui raised her hand.

Qi Jingxi jumped up in fright and hid behind Qi Zhiyu, crying out, "Sis, help!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly.

Princess Rui, with a hint of exasperation, pointed at him and said, "Look at the pathetic thing you've got!"

"Stop hiding behind your sister!"

"So what?" Qi Jingxi said matter-of-factly and with great pride, "My sister is amazing. Nobody else has a sister as amazing as her!"

Princess Rui has a headache.

Prince Rui handed her a cup of tea: "Calm down, it's not worth getting angry with him."

Princess Rui took the tea, drank a few sips, and calmed herself down.

"Mother, have you found out that Fu Xinyu has a connection with the illegitimate son of the Prince of Wu?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a smile.

Princess Rui laughed immediately when she heard her daughter ask the question, forgetting about the brat from earlier.

"I hadn't noticed before. Now that you brought it up today, I remembered that Fu Xinyu always likes to send people to the bookstore." Princess Rui said, pretending not to see her daughter gently patting Qi Jingxi, telling him to go back to his seat.

That is, Yu'er is protecting that brat.

"Qi Jinglin also likes to send his servants over there," Princess Rui said.

"I looked it up, and they all like the same type."

The shop assistants in the bookstore naturally need to know the customers' preferences, so that when the books that the customers like arrive, they can set them aside in advance.

"Leaving messages in books to communicate is a different kind of pen pal relationship," Qi Zhiyu understood immediately.

After meeting Fu Xinyu on the back mountain of the temple, she realized that Fu Xinyu's karmic connection was linked to the people of the Wu Prince's Mansion.

This connection isn't just one thread, but two threads of fate, only this fate is a karmic entanglement.

Therefore, she took the opportunity to sow discord between Fu Xinyu and Princess Wu.

Only then will things get really chaotic inside the Wu King's palace.

"I never expected Qi Jinglin, who usually keeps a low profile, to be so deep in thought," Qi Jingchen said after thinking for a moment. "I've seen him on some occasions before."

"He doesn't have any outstanding performances and is easily overlooked."

"It looks harmless."

"However, he is quite knowledgeable."

"His teachers all praised him for his talent in studying, but said he was a bit dull."

Qi Jingxi nodded: "He lives a secluded life and never goes to any entertainment venues."

"I haven't been able to catch him doing anything special, but I've been keeping an eye on him."

Prince Rui looked at Qi Jingxi: "You've been having someone keep an eye on him?"

"It's not like I follow him around every day. If he goes to a certain event, my brother will tell me," Qi Jingxi said.

"After all, he is the son of the King of Wu, and besides... the son of the King of Wu is so inconspicuous, without any problems or outrageous behavior, and he is living quite well in the palace... this in itself is abnormal."

Prince Rui laughed: "You are quite meticulous."

Qi Jingxi scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "Hehe...it's alright. Actually, I just observed the details carefully, prepared thoroughly, assessed the situation accurately, and analyzed things clearly...oops!"

Qi Jingxi looked at her father with teary eyes and hit him again!

"I'll get beaten up even if I tell the truth?" Qi Jingxi felt she had done a pretty good job.

"What are you showing off for?" Prince Rui withdrew his hand and scolded, "Arrogance and complacency are a major taboo."

"No matter how weak the enemy is, we must not let our guard down."

"Don't lose sight of yourself just because you've done a little bit."

Qi Jingxi has a pout.

He was just showing off a little.

"Second Brother has been keeping an eye on things for so many years, it must be tiring," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "Second Brother is amazing."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jingxi burst into tears.

His sister is still the best to him; she understands him!

"Father, please be more acknowledging of Second Brother. Don't always be so harsh," Qi Zhiyu advised.

Qi Jingxi covered her face with her arm, but she was secretly listening with her ears perked up.

Prince Rui was furious when he saw his second son "crying".

He's a complete idiot, all he does is act crazy and stupid.

How can you be so shameless to cry like that?

"Hmm, well done," Prince Rui said.

Qi Jingxi choked up and said, "Father, you sounded so reluctant."

Prince Rui kicked him: "I gave you a taste of your own medicine, and you've got a big problem with that."

"Have you made any arrangements for what happens next?"
