Princess Shu's face suddenly turned pale, and tears started to flow before she could say anything. She grabbed King Shu's collar and said, "Your Majesty, this is the most important medicinal ingredient in the fertility prescription prescribed by the miracle doctor."

King Shu and Mo Zhirou both changed their expressions.

"What?" King Shu was stunned.

Princess Shu choked up and said: "Ning Ning finally got these for me, but they were all destroyed. This year the locusts are raging, so we can only wait until next year, but next year I will be older and it will be even more difficult to conceive."

At this point, Princess Shu burst into tears.

Having children has almost become her obsession. She even dreams of having a child.

Finally, the opportunity was right in front of him, but he was knocked into the water by Mo Zhirou!

Even Mo Zhirou was panicking now.

She stuttered: "Mother, I, I didn't know this medicine was so important. I did it unintentionally. Mother, please forgive me!"

Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips: "You obviously pushed my hand on purpose, otherwise, the baggage wouldn't have fallen into the water. The housekeeper was here just now, and he must have seen it."

The housekeeper knelt aside with his body wet and lowered his head. He didn't dare to admit it, but he didn't deny it either.

Mo Zhirou became even more panicked. When she saw Princess Shu's eyes changing, she quickly knelt down and cried, "Zhirou was really careless!"

"I just went to Dimu Temple to pray for incense for my mother. I, I was too anxious to do that..."

More and more servants gathered around, and everyone whispered to each other in private.

Feeling so many eyes, King Shu's eyes darkened.

He immediately hugged the crying and sad Princess Shu and scolded Mo Zhirou severely.

"Zhirou, your mother is usually very doting and pampering to you, but this time you did something wrong and destroyed such a rare medicinal material without even saying an apology. It's really too much! It's a waste of all our efforts to teach you. .”

After saying that, the King of Shu said angrily: "Why don't you apologize to the princess quickly!"

Mo Zhirou turned and knelt in front of Shen Ningning, with tears streaming down her face.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I know you were wrong..."

Shen Ningning really didn't want to pay attention to this kind of person.

She only spoke to Princess Shu: "Aunt Princess, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, the little girl Shi Shiran left.

Mo Zhirou was weeping. The King of Shu looked gloomy and said, "Come here, take the young lady down and confine her for three days. She is not allowed to go out without my permission."

Then, the King of Shu hugged the Princess of Shu and said, "Madam, don't worry, there must be a way. Tell me what the medicine is called. I will send people all over the world to search for it. Don't be afraid that I can't find it."

Princess Shu let out a long sigh and raised her tearful eyes.

"Your Majesty, will we have children of our own in this life?"

King Shu glanced at the back of Mo Zhirou, who was crying and walking away.

He responded gently: "Of course you can. As long as you want to do something, even if you work hard for your husband, I will help you achieve it."

Princess Shu felt relieved and leaned on her husband's chest.

Although it was not easy to conceive a child, fortunately, her husband never treated her harshly.

Not to mention marrying someone else just because she couldn't have children.

The Princess of Shu was thinking that her father was the admiral in charge of the troops, horses, and food in Shu State. The King of Shu had always suggested before that her father would hand over some troops and horses to him to take charge of.

After all, Cangyun Kingdom's long-standing practice is to prevent nobles from seeking power and usurping the throne, so after sending them to fiefs, they will not be given military power.

But the King of Shu has always loved the Princess of Shu. Since she married him, he has seen with his own eyes that the King of Shu has managed Shuzhou in an orderly manner.

She also suggested to her father many times that she hoped that as an admiral, her father could allocate half of his troops to the King of Shu to help him better govern Shuzhou.

However, Princess Shu's father flatly refused.

And he said without hesitation: "If this is the prince's own intention, let him come to me and say it instead of relying on you."

Now that the King of Shu is so considerate, the Princess of Shu plans to find a good opportunity to talk to her father after returning to Shuzhou.

After all, her husband has treated her lovingly and considerately for many years, so she has to do something for him.

……

Recently, a shocking thing happened in Shuzhou.The locusts that made trouble earlier actually ate a person in Shuzhou!

I heard that it was chewed up beyond recognition.

The local governor felt that the matter was serious and reported the matter to the court.

After the emperor learned about it, he immediately paid attention to it.

Anything related to natural disasters is no small matter.

Because Shuzhou was the fiefdom of the King of Shu, the emperor took the lead in summoning the King of Shu. After the King of Shu left the imperial study, the emperor ordered Xie Mingan to go to Shuzhou to investigate the matter.

When the day came for Xie Mingan's departure, Shen Ningning made a special trip to Yangliu Yiyi's dock to see him off.

The scenery is beautiful in spring. The slowly moving river ripples with sparkling lights, like a piece of pearl being dropped.

Shen Ningning was wearing a blue brocade dress, with a cute and fair face. She stood at the ferry, blinking at Xie Ming'an with her big black eyes.

"Brother Stinky, do you have to go? If you refuse, the Emperor's uncle won't make things difficult for you!"

Shen Ningning could guess why the King of Shu recommended Xie Mingan to investigate the matter.

Concubine Qi is a vigilant and sinister person. I am afraid that Xie Ming'an's trip to Shuzhou this time will be in trouble.

Xie Mingan was wearing green and white clothes, standing in the willow wind, and he looked even more like a jade figure with a handsome face.

He still looked proud, but when he looked at Shen Ningning, he smiled more.

"Of course the second brother has to go. Otherwise, if you refuse this time, I don't know what dirty tricks they will use next time."

"Besides, since it's investigation, that's my second brother's strength. You don't need to worry. For this trip, my father and eldest brother have equipped me with horses and secret guards."

"When my second brother comes back from Shuzhou, I will bring you a gift."

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Shen Ningning couldn't say anything.

Just sighed silently.

Then, he pulled out three highly venomous black snakes from the sleeves of his arms!

Xie Mingan was startled.

He frowned suddenly: "Why do you hide such poison in your sleeves again? If it bites you..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Ningning interrupted him.

"They will never bite me, Brother Stinky, take these big treasures, two treasures, and three treasures with you, and hide them in your sleeves so that no one will find them."

"But they are sensitive to smells and movement, and if something goes wrong, they will protect you."

Xie Mingan hesitated: "Really?"

Shen Ningning didn't talk nonsense to him, grabbed his palm, and then said to the three snakes: "The second smelly brother is left to you, you must protect him!"

"If you behave well, you will be rewarded with a snake and an old hen when you come back!"

Three highly venomous black snakes spat out the message, as if they really understood, and lined up to get into Xie Mingan's sleeves.

Xie Mingan's muscles were all tense and he was extremely worried.

There was a cold touch traveling along his skin, and that feeling immediately gave him goosebumps.

But soon, this feeling disappeared, and the three snakes, as long and slender as his arms, were hidden somewhere on his body.

With the explanation almost complete, Shen Ningning watched Xie Mingan get on the ship heading to Shuzhou.

If everything goes smoothly, he will be back in half a month.

Watching Shen Ningning's figure standing by the ferry gradually go away.

Xie Mingxin's head was touched and she couldn't help but raise her voice: "Remember to miss your second brother and don't hug men. Do you hear me?"

Shen Ningning waved her little hand: "Second Brother, please leave quickly!"

The officials from Dali Temple who were accompanying him this time couldn't help but snicker as they stood behind Xie Mingan.

Xie Mingan's face was dark.

His sister didn't even say that she missed him. (End of chapter)
