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

Qi Jingxi scoffed disdainfully, "Isn't this just a shameless scoundrel?"

Qi Zhiyu spread her hands: "That's right."

"Sis, you're amazing!" Qi Jingxi rubbed her hands excitedly. "King Wu and the others should follow the path you laid out."

"They spread rumors about you; they don't slander you, but they make the people think you're cold-blooded. Then, with a little guidance, the people will start to question our family."

"You speak beautifully, but if we do nothing, we are indeed inferior to the King of Wu."

"When the truth comes out, it will be a slap in the face to the King of Wu!"

Qi Zhiyu smiled faintly: "If the King of Wu just does his own thing and doesn't drag our family into it, then my plan will be useless."

"He insists on putting down our family, so he'll just have to bear the consequences."

"We're doing things for the people anyway, so we might as well retaliate a little while we're at it; it's no trouble at all."

Qi Jingchen chuckled softly, "Yu'er, you've thought things through perfectly."

"You guys must be exhausted these days," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "I just provided an idea; you guys handled the actual implementation."

"Sis, aren't you going to ask how things are going?" Qi Jingxi asked.

Qi Zhiyu put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth: "Second Brother, what did you say?"

"Do I need to supervise your work?"

"Father, Mother, I'm full, I'm going back now."

"Go ahead," Princess Rui said with a smile.

She watched her daughter leave, then stared at Prince Rui and his two sons: "Things can't go wrong, otherwise, Yu'er's efforts will have been in vain."

"Mother, how could we make such a mistake?" Qi Jingxi smiled, but her eyes were full of unwavering confidence.

If he can't even handle this small matter, he really shouldn't be living.

"Don't let your guard down," Prince Rui said. "I know you are capable, but you must be cautious and not arrogant."

Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi nodded together.

Then they saw Prince Rui grasp Princess Rui's hand: "I'm sorry to have troubled you. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly with those two brats."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

He just wanted to ask one question: Does his father have any shame?

Using his brothers as an excuse to curry favor with their mother?

Qi Jingxi suddenly felt her collar tighten and was pulled out by her older brother.

After he went outside, he complained, "Brother, our dad is shameless."

Qi Jingchen looked around to make sure no one was there before saying, "Is this the first day you've met Dad?"

"Over the years, Father has wronged Mother."

Qi Jingchen's words made Qi Jingxi breathe a sigh of relief: "Then forget it, I forgive Dad."

There's nothing wrong with their family; the problem is that there are more and more rumors circulating in the capital.

Some people saw people from the Wu King's Palace pawning things at a pawnshop in order to raise money for the people of Yiyang Prefecture.

Then, the words that Qi Zhiyu said at the small banquet also spread.

The people of the Wu Prince's Palace supported this.

I think Qi Zhiyu is right; they are narrow-minded.

This explanation immediately improved the people's impression of the Wu King's Palace.

At the same time, there were also some criticisms of the Prince Rui's Mansion.

Surely it would be alright if the Prince Rui's mansion gave them a small token of their appreciation?

They didn't spend a single penny, yet they spoke so grandly; it's really... hard to judge.

The rumors circulating outside were not one-sided, but it was precisely because King Wu and King Rui had supporters on both sides that the topic became increasingly lively to discuss.

In any case, the King of Wu's reputation improved.

The discussion did not affect Qi Zhiyu, who was enjoying tea and music in the teahouse; she was in a good mood.

However, some people insist on putting on a show in front of her, which is a bit suicidal.

"Quick, quick, find a doctor! Princess Wu has fainted!" This shout immediately threw the street into chaos.

Who?

Princess Consort of Wu?

She actually fainted!

Fu Xinyu looked around and directed the maid, "First, help the princess to the teahouse and let her rest in a private room."

It wouldn't be right to leave Princess Wu lying in the street.

The maids and nannies immediately carried Princess Wu inside.

The innkeeper had already come to greet them, wiping his sweat as he said, "Sir, I'll have someone vacate a private room right away."

Their private rooms were all full, so it wouldn't be appropriate to put the King of Wu in a room with other guests.

Fu Xinyu turned her head and looked at the guards of the Prince Rui's mansion standing outside the private room. She pointed and said, "Let's go to that room."

As she spoke, she ran upstairs in a few steps.

The guards outside the private room immediately blocked her way.

"Your Highness, Princess Wu has fainted while raising money for the people of Yiyang Prefecture. Please, Your Highness, allow Princess Wu to rest in a private room for a while and see a doctor," Fu Xinyu pleaded in a sorrowful voice.

The door to the private room opened, and a maid came out: "Come in."

Fu Xinyu thanked her repeatedly and instructed the maids and nannies to take Princess Wu to a private room.

The private room contained only a simple couch, which Princess Wu's maid quickly tidied up and settled Princess Wu on.

Fu Xinyu sighed, "Princess Wu has really been working herself to the bone for the people of Yiyang Prefecture these past few days, which is why she collapsed in the street from exhaustion."

Once she finished speaking, that was it.

Qi Zhiyu completely ignored her.

Fu Xinyu gritted her teeth: "Princess, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled, "No trouble at all, I'm leaving anyway."

With that, Qi Zhiyu stood up: "You can use the private room."

Seeing that Qi Zhiyu's maid had already opened the door to the private room, Fu Xinyu hurriedly called out, "I'm so sorry to have disturbed the princess's enjoyment."

"If it weren't for raising money for the people of Yiyang Prefecture, Princess Wu wouldn't be working so hard."

Qi Zhiyu stopped and turned around to ask, "Fu Xinyu, do you really care about Princess Wu?"

Fu Xinyu was taken aback by the question: "Of course I am concerned."

"Since you care about Princess Wu, why didn't you mention how to treat her or ask when the doctor would arrive after you entered the private room? Instead, you kept talking about raising money for the people of Yiyang Prefecture?" Qi Zhiyu asked with a light laugh.

Fu Xinyu choked, "This subject, this subject..."

"Sometimes, once the performance goes too far, it really loses its appeal," Qi Zhiyu sneered. "Is there no one left in the entire Wu Prince's mansion?"

"Is it really necessary for Princess Wu to publicly appear and run around to raise money?"

"What's wrong? Is Da Rui so poor that it can't afford to support a prince, or is it that the Emperor's grandfather mistreats his son, causing the Prince of Wu to live such a frugal life?"

Fu Xinyu's mouth moved, but she didn't know how to answer.

No matter how she answers, it's wrong.

"Princess Wu has fainted. Princess, shouldn't the most important thing right now be to wake her up?" Fu Xinyu started speaking softly, but as she spoke, she became more confident.

Everyone was already dizzy, and Qi Zhiyu was still being aggressive. That was going too far.

"You seem quite concerned about Princess Wu," Qi Zhiyu asked, amused.

"Of course," Fu Xinyu replied without hesitation, "I am extremely anxious!"

"Since you care so much about Princess Wu, why don't you ask me to take a look at her?" Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Don't tell me you didn't know I could heal."
