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

Splat!

Qi Jingxi buried her face in the chair cushion.

Qi Jingxi jumped up in anger: "You hit me again! You hit me again!"

"I'm running away from home!" Qi Jingxi said, then stormed off angrily.

Qi Jingchen looked at his indignant back and couldn't help but laugh. This guy.

Qi Jingxi strode out of the room, and no one stopped him.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard gate, no one called him!

Enraged, Qi Jingxi shouted at the gate of Qi Jingchen's courtyard, "I'm really angry!"

"I've run away from home!"

This time, his older brother finally responded: "I heard you, let's go."

Qi Jingxi: "!!!"

Ahhh! ! !

I'm so angry!

He stomped his foot angrily, turned around, and left.

snort!

Bully him!

He won't come back until he has thoroughly investigated the matter of the King of Wu finding a scapegoat!

Qi Zhiyu quickly learned what had happened, and she laughed after hearing it: "Big brother made second brother leave in anger?"

"Yes," the maid said worriedly, "the second young master doesn't look well."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly, "It's nothing."

If her second brother were truly angry, he wouldn't have reacted this way.

Qi Zhiyu instructed, "Have the kitchen prepare some food and keep it warm on the stove. My second brother probably won't be back until midnight."

"He'll be back just in time for dinner."

As she spoke, she listed several medicinal herbs and then told the maid how to prepare them.

The maid immediately agreed and went to prepare.

On the other hand, although Marquis Guangping did not go to the Prince of Wu's residence, his son Yan Junyi did.

They were using the pretext of visiting their nephew, Qi Jinglin.

"Your Highness, those shopkeepers are very tight-lipped," Yan Junyi said in a deep voice.

Those shops were secretly cultivated by the Yan family, and they all had good business, generating a considerable monthly income.

This time, the Yan family really went to great lengths to frame Prince Rui.

They had a good plan from the beginning.

If the false accusation against Prince Rui for accepting money is successful, those shops will not suffer any loss even if they do not receive compensation.

Who would have thought that Qi Zhiyu's few words would turn things into this?

Prince Rui was unharmed, but the shopkeepers were imprisoned.

Regardless, he still had to come and express the sincerity of their marquisate to the King of Wu.

King Wu smiled slightly: "I trust the Yan family to do things."

"However, someone has to be chosen eventually, otherwise this matter will never be over."

Yan Junyi bowed apologetically, "Your Highness, this time it was our Yan family's negligence that has implicated you."

"It's alright." King Wu was quite open-minded. "Qi Zhiyu is always prone to making trouble unreasonably, so it's inevitable that something unexpected will happen."

Yan Junyi felt utterly contemptuous.

What does it mean for an accident to occur?

The silver that Prince Rui took out was obtained from swindling money from northern Yunnan. Couldn't Prince Wu have investigated this beforehand?

Before they had even investigated anything, they rashly approached them and hinted at their actions.

Now that something has happened, the King of Wu is quite relaxed.

The Yan family is the one who suffered both personal and financial losses!

"My father felt extremely guilty." Yan Junyi adopted a very humble attitude.

The King of Wu smiled and said, "You flatter me, Your Excellency."

"Now that we need to choose someone, I wonder if Brother Yan has any suggestions?"

Yan Junyi was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then tentatively said, "Your Highness, because of Princess Chen'an's instigation, some of the people around you may already have ulterior motives."

"Why not pick one out and make an example of them?"

King Wu nodded slowly: "I have considered what you said, but... rather than sacrificing my men like this, it would be better to start with Prince Rui."

Yan Junyi looked at the King of Wu with great surprise.

The King of Wu laughed and said, "This will require Brother Yan and the Marquis to put in some effort."

"Serving the Prince is our duty, but we don't know how we should proceed."

The King of Wu explained his plan, and Yan Junyi listened attentively before saying with some difficulty, "There are some things the Yan family can cooperate with, but there are others... Your Highness, please forgive us, we are not capable enough."

"It's alright, I will find someone to figure out the rest."

Yan Junyi carefully reviewed every step of the plan with Wu Wangzai. After they finished studying it, he went to visit Qi Jinglin before leaving.

Did Yan Junyi know that the King of Wu was testing them?

know!

But he had to pretend he didn't know.

Because they want to cooperate.

Did the King of Wu know that Yan Junyi was pretending to be stupid?

Of course, they knew that.

However, if he wants that position, he needs help from all sides.

Now that the Marquis of Guangping's family can use it, he will use it first.

Both sides are aware of each other's intentions and are testing and guarding against each other, yet they have no choice but to cooperate.

This relationship is very delicate; it could fall apart at any moment, and you could be betrayed at any time.

Therefore, they were all on high alert, working towards a common goal while remaining wary of each other and ready to strike at any moment.

The King of Wu had never felt so tired.

In the past, when Qi Zhiyu took away his money and power, he would be furious and heartbroken because of his losses.

However, he will immediately find a way to continue fighting against Qi Zhiyu and Prince Rui.

But ever since the Marquis of Guangping began to show his ambition, he has been physically and mentally exhausted.

He now feels as if he is walking on a narrow bridge over a precipice, with the road ahead hidden in the mist, and only a sliver of light telling him that it is his destination.

But on the cliff, the fierce wind was like a sharp blade, and if he was not careful, he would be swept to the bottom of the cliff.

The most terrifying thing was that fire broke out behind him. He didn't want to be burned to death, so he had no choice but to keep moving forward.

He had no choice but to leave, whether he wanted to or not; he had no other way out except by dying!

so tired...

King Wu was quite tired, and Qi Jingxi was also very tired.

He didn't get home until midnight.

Once inside, he slumped into a chair, not wanting to move a single finger.

"Young master, would you like something to eat?" the servant asked as he entered.

Qi Jingxi did not react.

He was so tired that his servant helped him wash up and then he went straight to sleep.

I really don't want to eat anything.

"The princess ordered this to be made for you, and it's been kept warm on the stove," the servant explained. "It's a medicinal diet recipe personally prescribed by the princess."

Qi Jingxi's eyes snapped open: "My sister had this made... Bring it up, I'm really hungry."

The servant responded and ordered someone to fetch water. He then poured warm water for Qi Jingxi so that he could moisten his throat.

Qi Jingxi perked up, sat up straight, drank some water, and then stared eagerly at the door, waiting for his medicinal meal.

Soon, the maid brought in the medicinal meal.

Qi Jingxi took a look and saw that they were all kinds of porridge he had never seen before.

He couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful and put it in his mouth. A mild flavor spread in his mouth, fresh, followed by the sweetness of the ingredients.

Can medicinal cuisine taste this good?

Qi Jingxi happily finished eating it all, feeling all the fatigue from running around for most of the day disappear.

My sister is so thoughtful.

It's so great to have a younger sister!
