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

"Their mothers also stole my husband, so your father can't dote on me alone."

At this point, Consort Wei burst into tears, feeling wronged: "Sometimes, I really wish your father was just an ordinary person."

"If that's the case, then there will never be anyone else between us. We will be a loving couple who grow old together."

When Consort Wei spoke, her expression was one of longing, a sweetness mixed with an unyielding bitterness.

Her disappointment, her regret, and the grief and helplessness of being trapped in the palace and unable to obtain her true love are all vividly portrayed.

Consort Wei shed tears, her shoulders trembling slightly; her restrained sorrow was deeply moving.

Unfortunately, the King of Wu's expression remained cold and unchanging.

"Even if they are husband and wife, they are still Father and Empress!"

King Wu's words made Consort Wei immediately raise her head, looking at him incredulously: "W-what did you say?"

Extreme anger caused Wei Zhaoyi's voice to change tone.

"You're saying I'm not worthy?" Consort Wei glared at King Wu, her anger blazing. "How dare you say your mother isn't worthy!"

What could be more heartbreaking than the betrayal of one's own son?

King Wu stared at Consort Wei, whose eyes were filled with tears, and said, "If Father were truly an ordinary person, would you want his unwavering devotion?"

"I'm afraid you wouldn't even glance at Father Emperor."

"How could you think of me like that?" Wei Zhaoyi stared at him, deeply hurt, her sorrow almost tangible.

"If you don't care about your father's power and only love him, would you prepare a way out?" King Wu directly exposed Consort Wei's true colors.

"You planned this all before you even entered the palace. Do you dare say you had no ambition?"

Consort Wei retorted, "What do you mean I made all the arrangements?"

"That person had ulterior motives towards me. I only told him that I liked powerful and influential men in order to appease him."

"I wanted him to give up!"

"Who knew that person would be so absurd, developing his own influence in the martial arts world in an attempt to help me ascend to the position of Empress Dowager."

"What can I do?"

"In the end, I've done all this for you. You're my son, do you think I want to see you being looked down upon?"

The King of Wu laughed, his smile full of mockery: "I'm all grown up now, not the child you used to be who could be manipulated at will and believed whatever you said."

"I know what your purpose is. Save your high-sounding words for someone else."

"I will definitely get that position. All my years of suffering won't be for nothing."

From a young age, he aimed for that position.

No one can take it away from me!

After King Wu finished speaking, he got up from the bed and left.

Wei Zhaoyi, left behind, was so angry that she trembled all over.

That beast!

She raised him with so much care and effort over the years, and now he treats her like this!

They're such ungrateful wretches!

After cursing in her heart, Consort Wei tidied her hair, a smug sneer playing on her lips.

No matter what, he wants that position.

As long as he gets that position, won't she eventually become the Empress Dowager?

Consort Wei was not worried at all about her intentions being exposed.

If you want to expose it, then expose it.

Power, wealth... who wouldn't like these things?

When the King of Wu met with Consort Wei, there was no one else in the room except for the mother and son.

As soon as King Wu left the palace, Consort Wei returned to her residence.

The eunuch immediately reported the situation to Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu simply grunted in acknowledgment, indicating that he understood.

As for what King Wu and his mother were talking about, he had no interest in knowing; it was nothing more than the same old things anyway.

The fourth brother and his mother will absolutely not give up.

Since they insist, then... they'd better be able to afford the price.

After all, not everyone who competes for this position succeeds.

Losers are often... miserable.

After King Wu returned, he sent someone to summon Qi Jinglin to his study.

However, the person who pushed open the door was Qi Jinghong, followed by Qi Jinglin.

The King of Wu frowned: "I didn't call you here."

"Does Father have something to say to Second Brother?" Qi Jinghong asked.

"In the past, my father would always consult with me."

"I'm more familiar with this aspect."

The King of Wu shouted, "Get out!"

Qi Jinghong stepped forward: "Father, what is it that I can't even know?"

He is feeling very panicked and angry.

Previously, only he was allowed to enter his father's study.

Despite having many illegitimate sons in the household, in his father's eyes, he was the most important.

But things are different now.

The king began to value Qi Jinglin.

This is a very bad sign for him.

"Father, do you know?" Qi Jinghong frowned deeply, "Mother fainted in the street because of you."

Qi Jinghong's mention of it only enraged the King of Wu: "Shut up!"

"A good-for-nothing who only brings trouble!"

"Get out of here!"

King Wu's rebuke shocked Qi Jinghong. The fear in his heart was like slippery seaweed, tightly binding him and making it difficult for him to breathe.

Does Father really value Qi Jinglin and want to groom him for a position?

Was he abandoned by his father?

"Father..." Qi Jinghong only managed to utter one word before being frightened by the look in the King of Wu's eyes.

Killing intent!

He actually saw murderous intent in his father's eyes!

The King of Wu gritted his teeth: "Get out!"

Qi Jinghong was startled and quickly retreated.

After leaving the study, he immediately took off running to find his mother.

The mother and son are now in a very bad situation.

No one could have imagined that in just one day, the public opinion surrounding Prince Wu and Prince Rui in the capital would undergo a complete transformation.

Qi Zhiyu felt refreshed and invigorated as she walked down the street.

Although only a few days have passed, the people of the capital already know what her father has done.

Compared to what the King of Wu did, her father was far superior.

Listen, everyone on the street is praising her father.

"This rouge is beautiful," Qi Zhiyu said to the maid beside her as she picked up the rouge.

The maid nodded repeatedly, "Princess, it looks beautiful."

"How many rouges of this color do you have in your shop?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant quickly replied, "Our shop has 130 boxes of this rouge."

"Wrap them all up, and..." Qi Zhiyu picked out a few more rouges of other colors, "and pack these up too, and send them to Prince Rui's residence."

"Okay!" The waiter excitedly hurried to apply the rouge.

Such a lavish gesture startled the young ladies and wives in the rouge shop.

However, they recognized her as Princess Chen'an, so they didn't dare say anything.

However, a hint of jealousy flashed in Fu Xinyu's eyes amidst the crowd.

She thought for a moment, then walked over and bowed respectfully, saying, "Princess, could you spare two boxes?"

"I like this color too, and I want to buy it. But Your Highness can't use all of these, and they'll just end up being thrown away anyway. Please, Your Highness, spare two boxes for me."
