"Queen, stepmother, please believe us. Sister Xin Wu must have misunderstood us."
Bai Baozhu, who had been pretending to be exhausted but secretly observing the progress of the scene, saw that King Dong Yao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She knew that she could not go on like this, otherwise she might really be finished.
With a whimper, Bai Baozhu crawled to the queen's feet on her knees. She hesitantly grabbed the hem of the queen's skirt and looked up at her with tears in her eyes at a 45-degree angle. Her posture was really pitiful.
The queen looked down at her, then at Xin Wu, who knelt stubbornly without raising his head. Her heart softened. After all, she had truly loved Bai Baozhu for several years. It was her flirting and fawning in front of her that made her happy every day. However, these things were nothing compared to the fact that she had actually killed her brother, who was like a father to her. The queen angrily shook off Bai Baozhu's hand that was pulling at her skirt, snorted, turned around and didn't even look at Bai Baozhu.
Bai Baozhu, who was thrown away, still had a sad expression on her face, but her heart was very ferocious. There was only one sentence in her mind: "Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Bai Baozhu crawled to the queen on her knees and reached out to grab the queen's skirt again. "Foster mother, please look at Baozhu. Have you forgotten the map she gave you?"
The queen, who originally had a cold face and didn't intend to look at Bai Baozhu, couldn't control her expression and looked at Bai Baozhu in shock when she heard Bai Baozhu say "map". This abnormality attracted the attention of King Dong Yao.
"Queen, what did she mean? Why do you need a map?"
King Dong Yao was just worried that he really didn't want to deal with Sheng Jicheng's affairs for the time being, and the queen actually gave her a raft. That was great.
If Sheng Jicheng were to be thoroughly investigated, it would undoubtedly cause a stir in the court. The Second Prince's memorial alone implicated numerous individuals, and who knew how many more might still be uncovered. By then, half of Dongyao's officials would be in danger. The King of Dongyao cast a veiled glance in Fengming's direction. If his court truly experienced such a major upheaval, Daqing would undoubtedly send someone to intervene. By then, Dongyao might not even realize his true intentions.
After a brief panic, the queen had calmed down and looked at Bai Baozhu coldly. The sympathy she had for Bai Baozhu that she had just shown in private disappeared, and she actually wanted to threaten her.
Seeing the King of Dongyao's serious questioning, she simply smiled confidently, "Oh, a map? I remember now. Baozhu told me that she had seen an extremely detailed map in Prince Muyun's mansion. I was interested and asked her to bring it to me. In my entire life, I still haven't really understood the territory of Dongyao. That map is truly detailed. Even a small village and a stream on our border are clearly marked. It really opened my eyes. I still have it in my palace. I'm sure the King has it too, right?"
King Dong Yao was gagged by the queen's last words. Could he say that although he was the king of a country, he did not have such a detailed map? The map in his hand was not as detailed as that in the hands of a minister. That would be too embarrassing.
"Yes, I do."
Seeing the queen looking at him with a smile as if nothing was wrong and speaking in a confident and generous manner, King Dong Yao, who wanted to take the opportunity to attack, was speechless. It seemed that a strict investigation of Sheng Jichong today was inevitable.
Seeing King Dong Yao shut up as he ran out of words, he felt a little relieved, but when he turned to look at Bai Baozhu, his eyes were extremely cold.
Bai Baozhu was frightened by her eyes. She had easily won the favor of the queen by following the teachings of the organization over there. The queen even doted on her as her own daughter. She thought the queen was stupid and easy to deceive. But now she realized that she was the only one who was stupid. She was just a puppet in the hands of others. Once she was away from the help of that organization, she seemed to be able to do nothing!
"Oh, my king, I'm afraid this marriage today won't be possible."
Fengming saw that King Dongyao had remained silent and clearly didn't want to investigate, so he became impatient and stepped forward.
"Yes, today...I'm sorry to bother you today, Princess."
King Dong Yao was originally afraid that Feng Ming would suddenly come and interfere in his internal affairs. Now that he saw Feng Ming taking the initiative to come and interrupt, he naturally became more vigilant.
Fengming didn't care about him. She only understood now that King Dong Yao had no ability.
Fengming walked straight to Xin Wu and pulled him up. Xin Wu did not resist and got up obediently. He stood behind Fengming as if he was standing behind a shield.
"Originally, this is your country's private matter, but I have to say a few more words today. I hope the king will thoroughly investigate Xin Wushi's complaint. Now I can't help but feel heartbroken when I think of the scene when I rescued Sister Xin Wu three years ago. You have no idea how much she has suffered during these two years of treatment, but these two murderers are enjoying their lives and shamelessly embezzling her family's property. From what the two princes said just now, this General Sheng is actually colluding with ministers. I am afraid he is planning a rebellion. In addition, as the eldest princess of Daqing, I must seriously remind the king that this prince of your country is actually training private soldiers. Please investigate thoroughly. What is the purpose of these private soldiers? Is he trying to make an enemy of Daqing?"
King Dongyao: "..."
Fengming's tone of voice was not serious at all, it could even be said to be gentle, but his meaning was not friendly at all.
Firstly, King Dongyao's idea of lightly covering up Xin Wu's affairs was rejected. Fengming made it clear that she was the one supporting Xin Wu, and asked King Dongyao to think carefully. Secondly, Sheng Jicheng was labeled a traitor in one fell swoop, and Sheng Jicheng's purpose was put on the table, making it impossible to cover it up. Finally, it was completely relying on status to suppress others, but King Dongyao had no choice, because his country was small and poor, and he had to rely on Daqing's aid to survive.
"Yes, the princess is right. I will investigate these matters thoroughly, but this is, after all, our country's private affairs. This..."
"Alas, I originally came here with the intention of congratulating you. I never thought of such a thing, nor was it my intention. I will now take my leave and not hinder the king from handling his affairs."
Hearing Fengming say that she was leaving, King Dong Yao felt relieved and couldn't wait for her to leave.
"Sister Xin Wu, please come with us. You still need to go back to apply medicine. Your injury hasn't healed yet."
"yes."
"Xiyun, Yuyun, come and say goodbye. Let's go back first."
Feng Yuyun and Feng Xiyun came over and finished their greetings. Feng Ming was about to leave with them when he remembered something and turned back to King Dong Yao and said, "Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, I will write to my father to inform him of what happened today. You should deal with the matter of returning home as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about that."
King Dong Yao was furious!
