Chapter 171: The Self-Torture Strategy



The next day, Fengming stayed in bed again, which was rare. It seemed that since leaving the imperial capital, the probability of Fengming staying in bed has been increasing sharply.

It is said that it is difficult to develop a good habit, but it is easy to destroy a good habit. Fengming now has a deep understanding of this sentence. She used to be able to maintain the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early to exercise, but now she is getting lazier and lazier.

However, the advantage of staying in bed is that it feels really good to sleep until you wake up naturally. All the fatigue from the whole day yesterday is swept away, and you can start a whole day full of energy. In fact, it’s quite good to stay in bed.

"Bichun, are Xiyun and Yuyun up yet?"

Fengming had a late breakfast served by Bi Chun. As she was being helped to dress up, she felt that something seemed wrong today. Her two younger brothers and sisters, who were always full of energy and came to bother her early in the morning, were not here.

"Awake! I'm sure the Third Prince and the young prince are tired. The maid just came to report that they've just woken up and are having breakfast."

"Okay, then it's just right that I wrote a letter to Tunan and Xin Wu about what happened yesterday... Oh, did I not write to Tunan last night?"

Fengming suddenly remembered an extremely important thing. When she separated from Tunan the day before yesterday, that overbearing little jealous Tunan strictly ordered her to write to him every day. However, she was so tired after returning yesterday that she almost took a bath with her eyes closed while the maids helped her. She originally wanted to cheer up and write about what happened yesterday, but she could not resist the fatigue and fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.

"Ahhh, grind it for me quickly!"

Fengming hurriedly spread out the letter paper, first wrote a short essay of 1,800 words to express her deep longing for Tunan, then wrote another 800 words to express her apology, and finally made up a lingering dream, deceiving Tunan that she thought about him during the day and dreamed about him at night.

Satisfiedly putting down the brush, Fengming picked up the letter paper with the ink still wet in his hands and read it carefully. He felt that he had performed very well this time. If he had an internet connection, he would definitely get more than 100,000 views after sending it out.

After sealing the sweet love letter to Tunan separately, Fengming rewrote the story of finding Xinyi yesterday and the magical fantasy forest under Zhishen Cliff. He originally planned to write two letters, one for Xinwu to read, but Feng Xiyun and Feng Yuyun came just when he finished the first one.

The two immature children were extremely curious about the story that Xinyi hadn't finished telling yesterday. Seeing that Fengming had clearly finished writing, they urged her to go to Xin's house. Seeing that Fengming was still about to write, Feng Xiyun snatched the brush away, exchanged glances with Feng Yuyun, and each of them carried Fengming out of the room.

Fengming was so scared that he screamed!

But since they have come out and written a letter anyway, they should know about sharing intelligence resources, so Fengming is not worried anymore. He just told Bi Chun to find someone to deliver the letter to Tunan and the others immediately. The most important thing is to make sure that the most important letter to Tunan is delivered to Tunan as soon as possible.

The three of them walked to the door of the guesthouse, joking and laughing, but they saw a person that no one wanted to see - Sheng Jicheng!

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, and the Young Prince."

When Sheng Jicheng heard the sound of the guesthouse door opening, he had already straightened his appearance, and was ready to bow with a respectful and dignified look on his face. When Fengming and the other two had just taken a step across the door together, with one foot still inside, they were unexpectedly greeted with a greeting.

Hmm, the way I open the door today seems wrong. Can I go back, close the door and open it again?

This thought flashed through the minds of the three people at the same time, especially Feng Xiyun, who claimed to be weak yesterday. He really didn't want to see Sheng Jicheng at all.

But if I went back, I could only think about it in my mind. The three of them went out hand in hand, so of course everyone saw them. Even if I didn't want to see them, I had to bite the bullet and greet them.

First, they stepped out of the door together, then stiffly asked the two guards to loosen their arms around her. Feng Ming then put on an awkward but polite smile and greeted Sheng Jicheng: "Prince Sheng, please don't be polite."

Although he was asked to excuse himself from the formalities, Sheng Jichengshou withdrew his bowing hand, but then lifted his robe and knelt down!

What are you doing? Are you trying to embarrass my little cutie?

Fengming knew from his actions that he couldn't just send the person away with just a few words today.

Although he really didn't want to pay any attention to him and wanted to let him kneel for as long as he wanted, this was after all on someone else's territory. Although his military power had been temporarily taken back, his title of prince was still there. It was impossible to let him kneel all the time. It would be bad for his reputation if he got out.

"What are you doing, Prince Sheng? Please stand up quickly."

Although Fengming was very annoyed in his heart, he still put on a hypocritical expression as if saying, "Hey, why did you suddenly kneel down? Don't be like this. I don't understand why he suddenly knelt down, and I didn't want to do that." He also glanced at Bi Chun.

Bi Chun naturally understood, and took two quick steps to Sheng Jicheng's side, reaching out to help Sheng Jicheng up.

But Sheng Jicheng refused Bi Chun's help, and just changed from kneeling on the ground to kneeling with his back straight, with a burning and determined look in his eyes. He looked like a good man who was sincerely apologizing.

"I know my sins are grave. I actually put your Highnesses in danger. Although my subordinates' poor archery skills were to blame, it is also due to my lax training of the troops. My command is rightfully revoked. Moreover, I have caused the young prince to feel ill. I truly deserve death. I know I should not ask for forgiveness. I simply kneel to express my apology. I beg Your Highnesses, the two princesses, and the young prince to ease my anger."

Feng Ming looked at Sheng Jicheng with some admiration as he made a sincere apology. Although he still disliked him in his heart, he couldn't help but want to praise him - awesome!

He didn't shy away from the main point and directly pointed out his own mistakes, but then he shifted the blame onto his subordinates. At most, he was accused of a trivial crime, such as poor military management and poor training. Moreover, because of such a crime, he even lost his military power. Are you still going to keep harping on him?

After apologizing, he resorted to the strategy of inflicting pain on himself. I don't know if he learned this tactic from the ones in palace fighting dramas where the disfavored concubines meet the emperor. He actually knelt for a long time and couldn't get up. Did he think that this would make Fengming compromise?

Haha, naive!

Originally, Fengming really didn't want him to kneel here all the time. After all, it would have a bad influence. If the news got out, people would think that their Princess Daqing was so arrogant and domineering that she actually made a prince from a vassal state kneel in front of her door for a long time.

But now Sheng Jicheng wants to use this trick to force her to say forgiveness and threaten her, so I'm sorry, just kneel if you want!
