When Shen Ningning followed Mo Lingwei to the emperor's bedroom, it was already full of people.

In addition to a few experienced imperial physicians, some confidant ministers, and national teachers, there was also the crying Concubine Li.

She was lying on the side of the bed, looking at the unconscious emperor, crying like pear blossoms with rain.

"Your Majesty... don't scare your concubines."

Mo Lingwei gave her a cold look, then turned to ask the eunuch next to him: "What's going on?"

The chief eunuch knelt down and replied anxiously: "His Royal Highness, the emperor is tired and fainted!"

"Recently, many counties and counties in Cangyun are short of water and rain, and the people are living in dire straits. Those folk legends that are unfavorable to you have been brought up again and again..."

The eunuch spoke with fear, raising the corners of his eyes from time to time to glance at Mo Lingwei's face.

I saw that the prince was indifferent, and he didn't seem to care about it.

He grew up surrounded by these malicious rumors.

They said that he was the child that his queen begged for by magic in order to win favor.

In the end, the first queen not only suffered the backlash of the evil magic, but also stubbornly gave birth to the evil god, the prince, and brought disasters of wrath and hatred to Cangyun Kingdom!

The drought became more and more serious. Except for the occasional rain in the capital, the rest of the places were unable to harvest due to lack of rain, and the people were displaced.

Therefore, the hatred for Mo Lingwei deepened.

Mo Lingwei said calmly, "Continue talking."

Then the eunuch trembled and said: "So, for you, the emperor enters the Zhaori Pagoda and kneels every night to pray for rain. The emperor has been sleepless for almost four days, and the dragon body will naturally not be able to bear it."

Mo Lingwei frowned: "How can he be so brave? If God has a spirit, how could he watch the people on the land of Cangyun be devastated, and the emperor is stupid!"

When the surrounding court officials heard this, they all secretly glanced at each other and held their hands together in silence.

Concubine Li raised her tear-filled eyes and looked at him resentfully: "Ling Wei, what you said is really chilling. The emperor's love for his son is all because of you!"

Sudden.

Shen Ningning pointed to the couch: "Uncle Emperor is awake."

Everyone hurriedly looked down, only to see that the emperor opened his eyes at some point, and his expression was weak.

He just raised his hand and shouted for a long time, but his voice was rustling and low, so no one paid attention except Shen Ningning.

Concubine Li hurriedly held the emperor's hand: "Your majesty, how do you feel now? Imperial physician, imperial physician, come quickly!"

However, the emperor didn't look at her, only at Mo Lingwei.

"Ling Wei, come to Emperor Father." He waved wearily.

Mo Lingwei stepped forward with a complicated expression.

Everyone thought that the emperor had something special to explain. Unexpectedly, the emperor just took Mo Lingwei's hand and asked, "Where is the prayer beads that the emperor gave you? Go back and put them on, to keep you safe."

Concubine Li was startled, her heart was as cold as snow.

No matter what time it is, the emperor still misses the prince.

In his eyes, Mo Lingwei is really the only son, right?

Mo Lingwei lowered his cold eyes and said after a while, "I heard that you fainted and came out in a hurry, so you didn't wear it."

The emperor smiled weakly: "It's okay, help the emperor up, there are still some government affairs that need to be dealt with."

He struggled to sit up, and the imperial physicians hurriedly knelt down and persuaded him: "Your Majesty! Your body is not suitable for working hard any longer, please take the dragon body as the most important thing!"

Shen Ningning also said: "Uncle Emperor, your face looks so pale, you need to sleep more, so that you can recover quickly!"

The emperor looked at her and smiled: "I'm fine."

However, when he wanted to sit up again, Mo Lingwei pushed him back with his palm.

I only heard Mo Lingwei say: "You rest, I will handle the rest of the government affairs."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and called the little guy: "Shen Ningning, let's go."

Shen Ningning hurriedly stepped with her little feet and followed behind him.

The emperor was surprised: "Ling Wei, are you really capable?"

Mo Lingwei, who walked to the door, looked back from the side, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said arrogantly: "I am the prince, and I have been governing the world since elementary school. What's wrong?"

"I won't come to see you these few days. I will hand over the power of the court to me. I will make plans after you recover from your illness."

Tears of relief filled the emperor's eyes, and he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay... the six elders obey the order. During the period when I is recovering from illness, you must obey the prince's order in everything, and you must not violate it!"

"Yes."

The imperial physician stayed behind to prescribe medicine for the emperor's pulse.

Mo Lingwei walked to the side hall, and all the important officials followed.

Concubine Li also walked to the door, she came to see what Mo Lingwei could do to handle such a difficult situation.

In the side hall, Mo Lingwei sat upright, majestic, and he asked Shen Ningning to sit beside him.

Seeing Concubine Li poking her head, Mo Lingwei said coldly, "You come in too, there are some things that need to be arranged for you."

Concubine Li was taken aback, then stepped into the hall and found a seat to sit down.

After a while, Chen Shaobei and Lord Lu, the commander of the forbidden army, also arrived.

When Mo Lingwei saw that everyone was there, he opened his mouth and said, "Father asked you to listen to my orders. The first thing I will do is that I will enter the Zhaori Pagoda and pray for rain for five days. All veterans will send the memorial to the outside of the pagoda. After processing, it will be sent to the cabinet by a special person."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

The Taifu was the first to stand up to object: "His Royal Highness, absolutely not, the environment in Zhaori Pagoda is harsh and hot in summer, and you are the prince, how can you be locked up in such a place for five days?"

Mo Lingwei's tone was light: "Father can pray to the gods at night and kneel down to pray for rain. Since I am the crown prince, why can't I? The lives of the people in Shuzhou and even Cangyun Kingdom should be in my heart."

Concubine Li pretended to disapprove, and said: "It's not very good, you know, there are gods from all walks of life enshrined in the Zhaori Pagoda. After the emperor enters, they don't eat to show respect. If you go in for five days , How to send this food in, isn’t it blasphemy?”

"Within five days, there is no need to bring me food, water is enough." Mo Lingwei said lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned pale with shock, Concubine Li wanted to find fault, but was speechless for a moment.

Mo Lingwei was too cruel to himself!

Shen Ningning frowned worriedly.

If you don't eat, how hungry will you be?

There is an old man who still wants to object: "But Your Highness..."

Mo Lingwei raised his hand to stop him: "I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore, and you don't need to tell my father about my decision. When he recovers from his illness, I will already come out of Zhaori Pagoda."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Shaobei and Lord Lu, the commander of the Forbidden Army.

"During the five days I'm not in the palace, Master Lu will be responsible for strengthening the patrols in the palace, lest anyone will take the opportunity to cause trouble, understand?" His cold eyes glanced at Concubine Li who was sitting there pointingly.

Commander Lu clasped his hands and said loudly, "Your Highness, please rest assured, if there is any turmoil in the palace, I would like to come and see you."

Mo Lingwei nodded.

Immediately he said to Chen Shaobei: "When I was in the Sunshine Pagoda, no matter what, you couldn't let me out until five days later, the ceremony of praying for rain officially ended. During this period, Chen Shaobei, take good care of Shen Ningning for me .”

"She can enter and leave the palace at any time, she represents the prince, understand?"

The courtiers present were in an uproar and looked at Shen Ningning one after another.
