Chapter 85 Borrowing a Knife to Kill



The emperor and empress looked at each other and realized that they had been tricked by Fengming.

"Xiao Ming'er, please sit down first. Wait a minute, what did you just say? Can you tell me again?"

The Queen spoke first and stopped Fengming from entertaining himself.

Feng Ming saw their expressions and realized that they had reacted. He brushed his sleeves and sat down obediently.

"Hehe" first gave a flattering silly smile.

"Father, Queen Mother, your daughter wants to go to Dongyaoming City."

"Nonsense, what are you doing there?"

The emperor was furious. This kid was making one impulsive move after another every day. He couldn't afford to study at Tushan Academy, so he came back to start a newspaper. Now that he had finally made the newspaper successful, he wanted to go on a long journey again.

Mingcheng is so far away, it would be unsafe for a girl to go there.

"Yeah, Xiao Ming'er, it's such a small place, and I heard that the people there don't have much experience. What's so good about going there?"

"Yeah, listen to your mother. Where can you go? There's nothing to eat. Are you going to eat kimchi every meal?"

Fengming...

She knew that this would be the reaction of the emperor, empress, and parents.

Her father and mother's reactions were exactly the same as in her previous life when she said she wanted to travel to South Korea alone.

"Hey, Father and Mother, please listen to me!"

The Emperor and Empress were listing off the ten reasons why Mingcheng was not worth visiting. Fengming was unable to get a word in for a long time and had no choice but to raise her voice and shout.

The Empress was stunned: "Ah, okay, you...you go."

"Oh, Father and Mother, I really have important matters to attend to in Mingcheng. And I'm not going alone. Xiyun, Xin Wu, Tunan and others are with me."

"What on earth are you all doing there?"

Originally, the Empress thought Feng Ming was just impulsive and wanted to go out for fun, but who knew there would be so many people? Feng Ming knew that he couldn't just give in to perfunctory talk, so he recounted Xin Wu's story in detail, explaining that he wanted to go mainly for Xin Wu to find out the truth...

"So that's how it is. Xin Wu is truly pitiful. How can I tolerate such a bad person enjoying all the glory in this world?"

The queen was a soft-hearted person, and when she heard Xin Wu's tragic story of his broken family, she couldn't help but shed tears.

The emperor, contrary to his usual behavior, frowned and was in deep thought.

Feng Ming saw something was wrong and moved to sit next to the emperor. He gently tugged at the emperor's sleeve and asked in a puzzled tone, "Father?"

"Ah, well, about this matter, Ming'er, come with me to the study and we'll talk about it."

"Huh?" Why did they have to go to the imperial study to talk? Fengming was confused, but she still followed her emperor father to the imperial study obediently.

Her queen mother was still crying there. What a sentimental young mother.

"Daughter, are you sure Xin Wu is Princess Ning'an of Dongyao? Are you sure the Sheng Jicheng she's talking about is Prince Mu Yun of Dongyao?"

When they arrived at the imperial study, the emperor asked Fengming in a serious tone.

"Yes, sure. What's wrong, Father?"

"Well, if that's the case, then I agree to let you go, but you must bring enough people with you and write to me and your mother every day to report your safety."

"Really? Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely write to you and Mother wherever I go. I will never let you worry."

Fengming thought that she would have to spend more time talking, but she didn't expect that the emperor father would agree to her request after only asking this one question. After being happy, she still couldn't understand it.

"Dad, why did you suddenly agree to let me go? You can't really feel sorry for Xin Wu, right? I don't believe it!"

Eunuch Li had just served some tea to help digestion, but when he heard Fengming talking to the emperor in such a disrespectful manner, he couldn't help but secretly gave her a look that said, "You're still so naughty." Fengming made a face and stuck out her tongue at him.

"That's right. Didn't I tell you some time ago that keeping Hao Zhangming would still be useful?"

"Well, yes, you wanted to use him to deal with Dong Yao..." At this point, Feng Ming suddenly understood.

"Oh, Father, you want to fight without bloodshed!"

The emperor smiled approvingly at Fengming: "My daughter, you are indeed like me, smart."

"Hehe, she is your daughter after all!"

The Dongyao tribe has suddenly become active in recent years, and their tributes have become less attentive and less timely, because they have a Sheng Jicheng who showed his military talent in wars against other smaller tribes.

So Emperor Dongyao became a little arrogant, thinking that he had a trump card with Sheng Jicheng. He looked down upon Daqing more and more, and even dared to give him a title like "Mu Yun". He was really short-sighted.

Originally, the emperor was planning to make up a random excuse to send Hao Zhangming to lead troops to deal with Dong Yao, but now that Xin Wu happened to happen, why would he waste military forces and food? He could just kill this person with a borrowed knife and get rid of him without bloodshed!
