Qiqi also has a gossipy heart and occasionally uses a little energy to understand the situation. Xuan Yunian also sends messages to express his concern for Cui Li, and some rumors spread to Wuliu City, giving Qiqi and Cui Li a lot of gossip.

For example, a general of Qi State led his troops to launch a surprise attack on Liang State at night, but was ambushed by the enemy and was stabbed three times, almost dying. He even left his sword on the battlefield and was escorted back to the country for treatment by his personal guards. Upon receiving the news, Emperor Ping cursed him as a "waste" and deprived the general of his military power.

For example, Ji State spies spread rumors in the five cities recaptured by Liang State, aiding Qi State spies in a large-scale water poisoning operation, intending to frame Liang State and exploit the chaos. However, they were caught poisoning, and a string of spies were uncovered. For example, the King of Ji State issued an edict ordering his fourth son to marry a powerful imperial concubine from a powerful maternal family. However, the next day, the concubine died horribly in her boudoir. The people all claimed that the fourth prince was unlucky with his wife, but the concubine's family, unable to believe such rumors, made a big fuss and demanded that the King investigate the matter thoroughly.

The Fourth Prince went to the palace to meet with the old concubine, accusing Ji Mingjie of murdering his fiancée and asking the old concubine to help him. The old concubine, also the leader of the Wu clan, treated the Fourth Prince differently because she thought he was more capable than the Crown Prince and because his biological mother was the Queen's sister, also a member of the Wu clan.

The old concubine listened to the Fourth Prince's complaints. She personally selected the Fourth Prince's wife, and now she died just after the marriage was granted. This challenged her authority as the head of the Wu clan! The old concubine had Crown Prince Ji Mingjie kidnapped and severely punished him. The king also ordered him to reflect on his mistakes. This made Ji Mingjie resentful and secretly plotted revenge.

For example, Zi Lie, the niece of a princess of Emperor Ping of Qi, was about to violate her lecherous uncle after getting drunk. Zi Lie swung a dagger and cut off the tool used by the dog emperor to do evil. The pain sobered him up immediately, and then he fainted from the pain.

When he was rescued by the imperial physician, he found out that he was inhumane and flew into a rage, threatening to dismember the princess. The imperial physician trembled and reported that the princess knew she had committed a heinous crime and was too ashamed to face His Majesty, so she had set fire to the palace and turned into a charred corpse.

Emperor Ping suffered such a blow, and the culprit died. It would have been fine if he could not vent his anger, but the next day rumors spread among the people that Emperor Ping had bad intentions towards his niece. The princess was fierce and resisted, causing Emperor Ping to become a eunuch. The princess was afraid that Emperor Ping would torture her, so she burned herself to death. It was extremely pitiful.

No one sympathized with the inhumane Emperor Ping. They all despised this unethical tyrant behind his back. They also felt that the princess was innocent. The court officials were only worried that Emperor Ping's temperament would become even more eccentric after this disaster.

As for whether Emperor Ping could continue to have children, the ministers were not worried. Emperor Ping was already 45 years old, with 17 daughters and 7 sons, 5 of whom were adult sons, and 10 grandsons. In the history of Qi, such a fertile emperor was rare!

In other words, King Ping became the emperor and had the national treasury to support him.

When he was still Prince Ping, the intrigues and deceptions in Prince Ping's Palace were no less than those in the Qi Palace. After all, a prince had a limited salary and many children. He had to rob everything he wanted, and if he didn't rob, he couldn't expect his father to remember them.

Their father supported a group of women and still felt that he did not have enough money, so he wanted to reduce the expenses of his children. The dowry and betrothal gifts gave Prince Ping and Princess Ping a headache. There were constant quarrels in the palace about who got more and who got less.

The reason why those ten daughters did not get married when they reached marriageable age is intriguing.

This also led to the fact that after Prince Ping ascended the throne, these princes and princesses became extremely calculating. Their only thought was how to please their father, taking things from the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury. They were selfish and only cared about themselves, not the lives of the people. They were usually jealous of the emperor's uncle's children. As princesses and princes, they had more money than they did. They had to work hard for such a small thing and were ridiculed by these princesses and princes. They even gloated over their father's forced abdication and eradicated the family.

Now that their father was seriously injured by the princess's cousin, they were a little dumbfounded and didn't know whether to go visit their father.
