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

Emperor Kangwu scolded, "Look at your useless appearance!"

"Father, your eyes are red too." Prince Rui didn't stand on ceremony with his father at all.

Emperor Kangwu threw the memorial at him.

The moment Emperor Kangwu made his move, Prince Rui dodged to the side, perfectly avoiding the attack.

If you do this kind of thing a lot, you'll become as experienced as him.

"You were born just to anger me, weren't you?" Emperor Kangwu angrily pointed at him.

Prince Rui scratched his cheek with his index finger: "How would I know? It's not like I gave birth to it."

Emperor Kangwu closed his eyes briefly: "Let's get down to business!"

He was afraid he'd be driven mad if he kept arguing with this kid.

"Oh," Prince Rui replied honestly. His father's temper... was really getting worse and worse.

But what can we do?

As a devoted son, he could only go along with it.

Emperor Kangwu and his entourage paid no attention to the Duke of Zhenguo and his group, for Emperor Kangwu's focus was already on the important matter of annexing other countries.

These domestic issues... are all minor matters.

However, some people don't think it's a small matter.

Ji Qiuyu looked at her swollen cheeks in the mirror, and the hatred in her eyes almost materialized.

If it were possible, she really wanted to grab Qi Zhiyu and chop her into mincemeat!

"Father, Qi Zhiyu is so arrogant!" Ji Qiuyu said angrily.

He not only slapped her, but also kicked her, sending her flying.

Even now, her stomach still hurts a lot.

"I told you long ago, she's lawless in Da Rui," the Duke of Zhenguo said coldly.

"That's just what other people say. I have to try it myself." Ji Qiuyu rolled her eyes dismissively. "I always felt that Qi Zhiyu was abnormal in every way."

"A village girl with extraordinary skills."

The Duke of Zhenguo frowned deeply: "Don't even think about using her identity as a pretext."

"The last person who did this, claiming Qi Zhiyu was their mole, is already dead."

Ji Qiuyu sneered: "The 'insider' claim doesn't hold water. But, Father, we can try a different approach."

"For example... she's a scourge, a monster..."

The Duke of Zhenguo remained silent.

Ji Qiuyu didn't urge him, but waited for her father to think it through.

After thinking for a while and sorting out all the relationships, the Duke of Zhenguo said, "We cannot do this ourselves."

Ji Qiuyu agreed with her father's statement: "We can tell King Wu our ideas and see what he does."

"Our ultimate goal is simply to get the King of Wu onto that throne."

"What we want is for Qi Jinghong to inherit the throne legitimately."

She wanted to marry Qi Jinghong and become the empress, second only to the emperor.

Then the King of Wu must become the emperor, and Qi Jinghong must become the crown prince!

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded.

This matter needs to be handled quickly, but also with caution.

After today's probing, he finally saw through Qi Zhiyu's true nature.

They're really not to be trifled with.

They erased their reward with just a few words.

The key point is that he can't say anything yet.

Wrong!

It's so frustrating!

The Duke of Zhenguo knew that time was of the essence and he needed to act as soon as possible without any delay.

A few days later, Qi Jingxi mysteriously sneaked into Qi Zhiyu's courtyard.

"Second Brother..." Qi Zhiyu put down the storybook in her hand and sighed helplessly, "Why are you acting like you've done something wrong?"

"Recently, my grandfather and father have gone mad." Qi Jingxi looked around to make sure no one was there before speaking cautiously.

"There are always things to do every day."

"My older brother hasn't come back yet; he's still being kept busy with work."

Qi Jingxi patted her chest in relief: "Luckily, I'm not the boss."

Qi Zhiyu smiled; the allure of unifying the world was indeed quite strong.

Qi Zhiyu got up, went to the table, wrote down a few prescriptions, and handed them to Qi Jingxi.

"Give this to my grandfather and the others." Qi Zhiyu handed the prescription to Qi Jingxi, who had written her name on it so there wouldn't be any mistakes.

"Let them drink it for seven days."

Qi Jingxi immediately flipped through the list, and when he saw his name, he grinned so wide his eyes disappeared.

His sister has feelings for him.

In his sister's eyes, he is also a very hardworking brother!

"Let me tell you, the Duke of Zhenguo met with the Prince of Wu, although the pretext was to let Qi Jinghong and Ji Qiuyu meet." Qi Jingxi pouted.

That's a really ridiculous excuse.

Who doesn't know that the King of Wu is in a very precarious situation?

The Duke of Zhenguo is trying to secure benefits for Ji Qiuyu.

If the Duke of Zhenguo helps the King of Wu now, he will be an absolute hero in the future.

"Sis, what do you think they want to do?" Qi Jingxi asked curiously.

He couldn't find out what they were talking about, and he was so upset.

So he went and asked his sister.

Qi Zhiyu smiled: "What else could it be?"

"Find a way to get rid of me."

She sensed malice towards her from the causal connection between the Duke of Zhenguo and the King of Wu.

However, that malice did not turn into misfortune.

"Have they had enough of living?" Qi Jingxi asked in surprise.

Even if the Duke of Zhenguo didn't know his sister's strength, how could the King of Wu not know?

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Therefore, the King of Wu will inevitably betray his country in the future."

Qi Jingxi's gaze sharpened, and he had already given his answer: "The envoy from Northern Yunnan."

Qi Zhiyu nodded with a smile.

Her second brother is very clever.

"Shameless!" Qi Jingxi said angrily.

"When our family was weak, he took advantage of our misfortune in every way. All we did was protect ourselves."

"On the contrary, from the very beginning, our father never intended to kill him!"

"Why can't he just be a carefree, leisurely prince?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and asked, "Second Brother, do you know what it means to put yourself in someone else's shoes?"

Qi Jingxi was silent for a moment; he really didn't know what to say.

He opened his mouth, a string of words tumbling out, but in the end, it all boiled down to a sigh: "King Wu...did he bring this upon himself?"

Qi Zhiyu shrugged helplessly: "He wants our father dead, and for every one of us in the family to be wiped out."

"If he is deposed as crown prince, he will feel that our father also wants to treat him the same way."

"So... he absolutely has to win."

"Because for him, not winning means death, and a terrible death at that."

"Who told him to treat our father like that back then?"

"In his mind, if someone treated him like that, he would make sure that person died a terrible death after he came to power."

Qi Jingxi really didn't know what expression to wear: "...He was scared by the revenge he came up with himself?"

"Just because he treated our father like that back then?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled: "It's not just because of that period, but also because of what happened later... one thing after another. If he put himself in our shoes, how would he retaliate?"

"Look, now he's being driven forward by the consequences he's imagined."

Qi Jingxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. What kind of situation is this?
