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

The rumors and gossip outside are getting worse and worse.

There is now a complete logical reasoning in the outside world.

Heaven sensed that Qi Zhiyu, this wicked woman, was about to wreak havoc on the world, so it transformed itself into a jade Buddha to lure Qi Zhiyu into a trap.

On one hand, the jade Buddha suppressed Qi Zhiyu's demonic aura, and on the other hand, it used the divine power of rare and precious materials to burn her to death.

Unfortunately, Qi Zhiyu's demonic aura was too strong, and even after exhausting all the rare and precious materials, they still couldn't get rid of this monster.

As long as Qi Zhiyu is not eliminated, Da Rui will never have peace.

"The main problem is that no one was there to guide me, so I just ate this whole table!" Qi Jingxi slammed her hand on the table.

The teacup on the table was shaken and bounced, spilling a lot of tea.

Qi Jingchen glanced at him: "Are you so hungry you're going to eat the table?"

"Just say you want to eat it. We don't quite understand, but we can accept it."

Qi Jingxi: "...Big brother! I'm angry!"

Is my older brother really capable?

"What kind of rumors are they spreading outside?" Qi Jingxi exclaimed angrily. "Are those people crazy?"

"My sister has done so many good deeds, and so many people have benefited from her kindness. How dare they slander her?"

He couldn't accept it at all.

Qi Zhiyu smiled and casually said, "Second Brother, not everyone will slander me."

"Moreover, ordinary people rarely dare to speak out."

"With their aggressive campaigning, anyone who wants to speak up for me should think twice; they're afraid of getting burned."

"Has Second Brother found out everything?" Qi Zhiyu was more concerned about other key points.

Qi Jingxi nodded: "I found it."

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly. Now that they've found out, things will be easier.

This time, a significant amount of influence from the King of Wu and the Marquis of Guangping has been uncovered.

"But... we still haven't found out why they're in such a hurry." Qi Jingxi lowered her head in frustration.

He's so useless.

They can't even do this little thing right.

"I couldn't find anything either," Qi Jingchen said. "Everything is normal in the court."

Qi Jingxi paused in her bowed head movement, then slowly raised it to look at her brother.

After Qi Jingchen finished speaking, he looked at Prince Rui.

Prince Rui shook his head: "No news."

"This time it's not normal."

"There's been no news from any of the courtyards either; the servants haven't heard a single word," Princess Rui sighed.

The people serving Prince Ning were all from northern Yunnan.

They wanted to get information, but they couldn't.

"It's okay," Qi Zhiyu waved her hand. "We'll know soon enough anyway."

"Their actions have created such a huge stir that their message has already begun to spread beyond the capital; their true intentions should be revealed by now."

Prince Rui agreed, saying, "We've made ample preparations; let them come at us!"

He simply refused to believe that he could lose to that idiot, the fourth brother.

In the palace, Prince Ning, who was preparing to leave, went to the palace to say goodbye.

Having said all the polite words, Prince Ning suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Has Your Majesty been troubled lately?"

Emperor Kangwu looked at Prince Ning and smiled slightly: "When is a ruler free from worries?"

Prince Ning naturally knew that emperors always spoke so succinctly, so he didn't beat around the bush with Emperor Kangwu and directly stated his purpose.

"Your Majesty, I wish to marry Princess Chen'an."

Upon hearing Prince Ning's words, Emperor Kangwu froze instantly, completely at a loss for how to react.

Even back when he was still a prince, let alone after sitting in this position for so many years, he had never been so bewildered and shocked.

What did he hear?

"Say it again." Emperor Kangwu frowned slightly.

It seems that as people get old, they have to admit it.

See, isn't that why he's hard of hearing?

Prince Ning smiled confidently: "On the battlefield, I was captivated by the princess's heroic bearing, and I have long harbored the desire to marry her."

"However, I didn't bring it up because the timing wasn't right."

Emperor Kangwu suddenly smiled and asked, "Is it not presumptuous of you to bring this up now?"

Prince Ning explained, "Of course, it is still presumptuous of me."

"This matter should have been discussed formally with my father after I returned to the country."

"However..." Prince Ning gave a helpless smile, "the situation outside is currently unfavorable for the princess."

"I don't want the princess to get hurt, which is why I've taken the liberty of speaking my mind."

"As long as His Majesty agrees, I can take the princess away from this place of trouble immediately, so that the princess will not be despised by everyone."

Emperor Kangwu was amused and said, "Prince Ning is truly sincere."

"Aren't you worried about the rumors about this 'monster' going around?"

Prince Ning said with infatuation, "Even if he is a monster, I will accept him."

"Ever since I saw the princess on the battlefield, she has captured my heart, and no one can replace her."

Emperor Kangwu responded to Prince Ning's statement with just two words: "Dream on!"

"Your Majesty!" Prince Ning cried out urgently.

"My granddaughter will never marry out!" Emperor Kangwu said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Prince Ning should pack his bags and return home as soon as possible."

Prince Ning looked at Emperor Kangwu with longing in his eyes.

Emperor Kangwu returned the gaze coldly, refusing to budge an inch.

Prince Ning let out a long, dejected sigh, bowed to Emperor Kangwu, and then withdrew.

Emperor Kangwu's face darkened, and his chest heaved violently.

He hadn't been this angry in many years.

Then he ordered his men to summon Prince Rui.

Just as the eunuch was about to leave, Emperor Kangwu stopped him again: "Go to Prince Rui's residence and bring Chen'an here."

The eunuch bowed in response and respectfully withdrew.

Prince Rui, who was nearby, quickly arrived: "Father, what's wrong? Has Prince Ning caused trouble?"

He knew that Prince Ning had come to say goodbye today.

The Prince of Ning had just left when his father summoned him over, along with his daughter, which seemed rather unusual.

Emperor Kangwu looked at Prince Rui and said, "Please sit down."

Prince Rui didn't move, but looked at his father suspiciously without sitting down: "Father, you're being so polite to me, I feel like something's going on."

"Dad, if something's wrong, just say it. I'm okay with that."

Emperor Kangwu, somewhat distrustful, instructed, "Sit down first."

Prince Rui frowned: "What exactly is wrong?"

Emperor Kangwu sighed: "You can't even keep your composure; how am I supposed to talk to you?"

"Father, just tell me, I absolutely won't act impulsively," Prince Rui assured him, patting his chest.

Emperor Kangwu gave up. No matter what he said, the guy wouldn't listen, so he just let it go.

Emperor Kangwu raised his hand, and four men in black suddenly appeared in the room.

Prince Rui was stunned.

Why did his father summon the secret guards?

Once everything was ready, Emperor Kangwu announced, "Prince Ning requests to marry Chen'an!"

Prince Rui was stunned for a moment, then burst out: "I'll kill him!"

Emperor Kangwu waved his hand, and four secret guards rushed towards Prince Rui with swift movements.

How could the enraged Prince Rui be so easily stopped?

The four bodyguards failed to subdue Prince Rui in the first instance.

Emperor Kangwu looked on without any surprise.

He said that the eldest brother couldn't hold his temper.

He really didn't know where this bastard got the nerve to say he wasn't impulsive.

However, this kid is getting older, and his martial arts skills have become even stronger.
