The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall turned their gaze to him.

The insect infestation in the south is terrible enough, but if it goes on for too long, it may cause famine, plague and other disasters.

Who would have the heart to send their daughter to such a place to suffer? She might even lose her life there.

Facing the various gazes of the crowd, Fang Xing'an appeared righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he were a hero who sacrificed his own family for the greater good.

A cold glint flashed in Luo Qianmo's eyes. He was originally going to the south and did hope that Fang Qingyou could be by his side, but he would not thank Fang Xing'an at all.

On the contrary, he will make Fang Xing'an pay the price for his ruthlessness.

After Fang Xing'an pushed Fang Qingyou forward, Emperor Mingde's gaze suddenly darkened.

Instead of being pleased by Fang Xing'an's spirit of dedication to the country, I was angry at his ruthlessness.

Born into an imperial family, he knew better than anyone that kinship could be ruthless.

Although he didn't really want Fang Qingyou and Luo Qianmo to have too much entanglement, he didn't want to see her pushed into a fire pit by Fang Xing'an.

She's only a fourteen-year-old girl. Even with her superb medical skills, can she really survive in a place like the South?

He hoped someone could handle the insect infestation in the south, but certainly not by pushing an underage girl out to shield her from the disaster.

Just as Emperor Mingde was about to refuse, Luo Qianmo's voice rang out calmly: "Your Majesty, if you are to send someone to deal with the insect plague in the south, I am willing to volunteer."

The words that were about to come out were choked back down.

Emperor Mingde stared at Luo Qianmo in shock, never expecting him to take on state affairs. In the past, he would have repeatedly declined such matters.

Things that would normally be easy to handle, but when attacks are pushed in his way, he always pushes them away and refuses to accept them.

But this matter is so dangerous and difficult, yet he insists on taking it on!

"Mo'er, you know nothing about farming or medicine, so what are your strengths to recommend yourself?"

"Your Majesty, if we're talking about being knowledgeable in agriculture and medicine, I'm afraid there's not a single person here who can do that. Does that mean there's no one who can share your burdens? I believe that our country has plenty of people who are skilled in agriculture and medicine. We only need one person to allocate tasks, and the insect plague in the south can be dealt with. Of course, this person must be in a high position, be brave and resourceful, and be willing to solve the problems of the people in the south."

As Luo Qianmo spoke, many ministers couldn't help but look towards the windows of the main hall, wondering if the sun was rising from the west today.

Could Luo Qianmo really say such a thing? They felt like they were dreaming.

Emperor Mingde's dark eyes widened even more; he truly couldn't believe these words came from Luo Qianmo's mouth.

Since Consort Wei died, all those years have passed and Luo Qianmo has said more to him than he has said today.

Furthermore, has Luo Qianmo finally decided to keep the people and national affairs in mind?

Based solely on what Luo Qianmo said, Emperor Mingde would be very willing to entrust him with the task of dealing with the southern insect plague, but he would not do so because it was too dangerous.

This time, he almost lost his son, and he will never allow such a thing to happen again.

Besides, he still had many things he wanted to ask Luo Qianmo and many things he wanted to say to him. How could he let him leave his side so quickly?

However, before Emperor Mingde could speak, the Minister of Revenue immediately chimed in, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is right. The Eighth Prince is exceptionally courageous, wise, and resourceful, and he cares deeply for the people. He is willing to help Your Majesty solve your problems. If anyone can handle the insect plague in the south, the Eighth Prince is undoubtedly the best choice."

As soon as the Minister of Revenue finished speaking, several other ministers stepped forward and echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the Eighth Prince is the only one capable of quelling the insect plague in the south!"

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is wholeheartedly devoted to the people and is the best candidate to deal with the insect plague in the south!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As the ministers stepped forward one by one, Emperor Mingde was so angry that his hands trembled.

These old fogies, one after another, want him to push Mo'er into the fire pit. What are they really up to?

Emperor Mingde was so angry because the ministers who had supported Luo Qianmo's trip to the south were all ministers who had hinted in their memorials that he should appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince!

These old fogies clearly want to kill his Mo'er and then install the eldest prince as the crown prince!

These old folks certainly know how to play the game.

She seems to be on Mo'er's side, but she's actually determined to kill him!

Fang Xing'an kept his head down and didn't say a word, but he was very excited inside.

He originally brought Fang Qingyou forward in the hope that the Fang family could make amends for their past mistakes.

Now that Luo Qianmo is safe and sound, if Fang Qingyou can make some contribution to the southern insect plague, then Emperor Mingde will certainly not punish the Fang family again.

Now that Luo Qianmo is going to the south again, Fang Qingyou will have the opportunity to spend time with him. If the two young people are together, they might develop feelings for each other over time. Maybe Fang Qingyou can even become a prince's consort.

During the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, didn't Luo Qianmo ask the Empress to arrange for Fang Qingyou to be his principal wife?

If Luo Qianmo were to make another trip to the south, wouldn't his feelings for Fang Qingyou be even stronger?

Ha ha--

If Luo Qianmo were to ascend the throne in the future, wouldn't Fang Qingyou become the empress, and wouldn't the Fang family become imperial relatives?

If Luo Qianmo can't become the emperor in the future and is just a prince, then Fang Qingyou can still be a princess.

As for Luo Qianmo, if the new emperor is wary of him and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible, then the Fang family will immediately abandon their daughter Fang Qingyou.

As for Fang Qingyou's unfortunate death in the south, it wouldn't be a loss for the Fang family at all.

"Your Majesty, I am sincerely willing to go to the south, and I hope Your Majesty can grant my request."

At this moment, Luo Qianmo spoke again, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with determination.

Emperor Mingde frowned and stared at Luo Qianmo for a long time.

He was naturally unwilling to agree, but he had never seen Luo Qianmo with such a determined expression.

His Mo'er was determined to go to the south this time, but he didn't understand why Mo'er wanted to go to such a dangerous place.

He really didn't know whether he should worry about Mo'er or be happy that he finally had a heart that loved the people.

Should he stop Mo'er, or should he comply with his request?

Emperor Mingde felt he had never faced such a difficult choice, leaving him completely at a loss as to how to choose. It seemed that either option was acceptable, yet none of them were right...
