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

King Wu's heart tightened; he had fallen into the trap Qi Zhiyu had set again.

So what? As long as he doesn't admit it and there's no evidence, what can the Emperor do to him?

"Chen'an, what are you talking about?" King Wu looked at Qi Zhiyu with a blank expression.

"Father, I absolutely had no other intentions; it was just a coincidence." King Wu looked sincerely at Emperor Kangwu.

"Furthermore, I was merely stating the facts; how could there be any talk of bullying?"

Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Jingxi, who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, and said with a headache, "Get up first."

Qi Jingxi stood up quickly and rubbed his eyes hard. "Grandfather is wise. I know you will definitely stand up for us."

Emperor Kangwu glared fiercely at Prince Rui.

Look, look, this is the son the eldest son raised!

They're all exactly like the boss!

They've learned to be sarcastic and confrontational with their words.

Before he could say anything, that brat Qi Jingxi blurted out that he would stand up for them.

"Fourth Prince, you are really inconsiderate in your actions and words." Emperor Kangwu's words caused the color to drain from the face of the Prince of Wu, turning him deathly pale.

By denying his abilities in front of so many people, isn't the Emperor denying him as a person?

Does the Emperor really have to trample on Prince Rui just to elevate him?

King Wu took a deep breath and asked, "Father, the Prefect of the Capital has just mentioned the unusual reactions of Ma Qinghe's clansmen."

"They also arrived at the scene."

"Didn't they investigate what was at the scene?"

"The Prefect of the Capital." King Wu looked at the Prefect of the Capital.

The Prefect of Jingzhao did not answer immediately, but waited for Emperor Kangwu's instructions.

Emperor Kangwu said calmly, "Continue."

"Yes," the Prefect of the Capital replied before continuing.

"After extensive investigation, we finally found the place the villagers had described."

"A lot was discovered in those places..."

The Prefect of the Capital paused here.

Everyone in the hall wanted to beat up the Prefect of the Capital. Apart from those who knew about the case, everyone else was extremely anxious.

What exactly was discovered?

However, after glancing at the King of Wu, King Xin sighed with regret.

The fourth child still hasn't learned how to control his emotions.

The fourth brother only noticed that Chen An was setting traps for him with his words. However, the fourth brother failed to realize that a good trap often has various other aids besides words.

That requires comprehensive cooperation to create a trap that people have no choice but to fall into.

Fourth brother, how can you be so short-sighted?

The fourth brother's current reactions all indicate that he has secretly done something wrong.

The fourth brother even tried to slander his eldest brother, what a pipe dream!

How could his elder brother let his weakness fall into the hands of his fourth brother?

"Gold, silver, medicinal herbs, sugar, salt, and...weapons." As soon as the Prefect of the Capital spoke, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

These are all essential supplies for starting an army!

Prince Xin's heart skipped a beat. How could they have found it?

Wasn't his older brother on guard?

Prince Xin looked at Prince Rui with concern, only to find that he couldn't see any trace of anything amiss on his elder brother's face, only a calm expression.

Not only his elder brother, but everyone else in the Prince Rui's mansion also showed no emotional fluctuation.

It was as if what the Prefect of the Capital was saying had absolutely nothing to do with them.

Prince Xin had to admire his elder brother's abilities.

Not only is she composed herself, but she also raises her children so well.

"Ma Qinghe, what else do you have to say?" King Wu questioned sternly.

"If your people were embezzling, why would they hoard such supplies?"

Ma Qinghe frowned but remained silent.

"King Wu, you're too hasty," Qi Zhiyu said. "The Prefect of the Capital hasn't even reached a conclusion yet, and you've already convicted Ma Qinghe."

"What, are you so familiar with what's going on here?"

King Wu stared coldly at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen An, are you just being unreasonable?"

"The facts are all there; anyone with common sense can see that clearly."

"Who would hoard such things after acquiring wealth, instead of enjoying it themselves?"

"Do we even need to explain who those things are useful to?"

"Besides, everyone knows perfectly well who promoted Ma Qinghe!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly, "Isn't what you're trying to say is that my father wants to rebel and seize the throne?"

"That's not what I said," the King of Wu immediately distanced himself from the matter.

"I said it," Qi Zhiyu readily admitted. "And let me tell you, in this world, there's nothing I can't get if I want it."

Qi Zhiyu spoke casually, but no one at the scene thought she was exaggerating.

Because she was so certain.

The aura of those superiors who looked down upon the world made them tremble with fear.

When Princess Chen'an uttered those words, there was not the slightest arrogance or haughtiness; she spoke calmly and quietly.

That's precisely why they found it so terrifying.

What could cost them their heads at any moment was nothing out of the ordinary in Princess Chen'an's eyes.

This realization is what truly sends chills down their spines.

Prince Xin swallowed hard. His eldest niece…

King Wu gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Chen'an, how dare you!"

"Do you still have any memory of your imperial grandfather?"

Qi Zhiyu tilted her head slightly and smiled: "King Wu, do you believe it or not, if I just ask, my grandfather will abdicate and let me sit in that position?"

"Absurd!" King Wu roared.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, their feelings... rather complicated.

"Father, are you just going to let Chen'an spout nonsense?" King Wu looked at Emperor Kangwu with grief and indignation.

Isn't Father Emperor the one who values ​​rules the most and is the strictest?

I scold him all the time.

Now that Qi Zhiyu has uttered such rebellious remarks, does Father Emperor have nothing to say?

Emperor Kangwu's lips curved slightly, clearly in a very good mood: "Chen'an, have you come to your senses?"

King of Wu: "?"

What is Father saying?

The ministers in the palace and their families: "..."

Grand Secretary Zhang, on the contrary, felt a sense of ease, as if this was how things should be.

Actually, if Princess Chen'an were to sit in that position, he felt that their Great Rui would unify the world even faster.

The possibility of success... no, it should be said that there is no possibility of failure.

Qi Zhiyu silently watched Emperor Kangwu without saying a word, letting him figure it out for himself.

Emperor Kangwu touched his nose; he was still unhappy.

He thought he could take advantage of the situation to trick her, but the girl wasn't falling for it.

The King of Wu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What did his father mean by this?

Could it be that Father Emperor really intends to pass the throne to Qi Zhiyu?

What's wrong with Father?

What unclean thing possessed me?

"Chen'an, do you think the civil and military officials will agree to your outrageous remarks?" King Wu shouted.

Civil and military officials: "..."

Why drag them into this?

His Majesty has no objections, and even hopes that Princess Chen'an will take the throne, so what objections would they dare to have?
