The guards made a cursory inspection and found that Master Gu seemed to have fainted from hunger. As for why he was here and why he had mother Shen Ningning's belongings, we would have to wait until he woke up to find out.

Shen Ningning asked Mo Lingwei to help her bring the person back to the capital.

By the time we got back to the village, it was almost time.

Village Chief Wang couldn't sleep at all. Everyone in the village heard that the prince and princess had gone to look for monsters, and they all waited at the village chief's house to see what happened.

Everyone was worried, fearing that monsters would hurt the prince and princess. If they were allowed to die here, it would be more disastrous than locusts for Pingyuan Village.

What they never expected was that they returned safely.

The villagers burst into cheers of joy and ran over with the excited Village Chief Wang, surrounding Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning.

"Village Chief, there are no monsters on the mountain, there is only a cave." Shen Ningning clearly told everyone the reason why the villagers would faint if they were near.

The two villagers who followed them into the mountains nodded.

"It's exactly what the princess said. The smell of banyan trees and flowers can make people faint. We can get over it by covering our mouths and noses."

Shen Ningning felt that the cave hidden in the mountain was really a good place for natural refuge.

Village Chief Wang patted his heart: "It's good that there are no monsters. Fortunately, your two highnesses are fine."

Some villagers wondered: "Since there are no monsters, where did the screams we heard come from?"

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "It came from the cave. The wind noise there was very loud. It spread through the cave and made the sound even more distant and dull. That's why you thought it was the cry of a monster."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Mo Lingwei didn't need to ask this time. He knew that the knowledge that Shen Ningning mentioned that was very new to them should have been learned from her mother Shen Siyi.

There was a villager in Pingyuan Village who had some medical skills and gave Master Gu a brief look.

There were varying degrees of scratches on his body, but the main reason for his coma was probably being hungry for too long.

Shen Ningning asked Village Chief Wang to feed him some yellow rice soup, but Master Gu did not wake up until the next day.

There was no other way. Shen Ningning had a lot of questions to ask him, so she could only take him back to the capital first.

Early in the morning, they left Pingyuan Village.

Shen Ningning placed Master Gu in her own princess mansion, with dedicated personnel to monitor and take care of him, as well as doctors.

The little girl asked the servants to keep an eye on Master Gu. If he wakes up, they must tell her as soon as possible.

After Mo Lingwei returned to the palace, he went directly to the imperial study.

As soon as he entered, he saw the imperial master having a secret conversation with the emperor.

"We'll talk about your matters later. Mine is more important. Listen to me first." Mo Lingwei interrupted their conversation directly.

He looked at the emperor and said, "I'm going to Pingyuan Village. Give me that purple jade bell."

The emperor was startled: "So fast? Are the villagers okay?"

"Shen Ningning gave them new grain seeds. They seem to be doing well." Mo Lingwei paused and did not tell the emperor that they had saved a person.

The emperor thought that sending Mo Lingwei to that kind of place would make him impatient.

Unexpectedly, he seemed quite patient.

The emperor was in a happy mood, and immediately smiled and asked the eunuch to open the private treasury, and gave the box containing the purple jade bell to Mo Lingwei.

Mo Lingwei took it and left.

The emperor called him from behind and said, "I would like to say hello to Ning Ning and thank you for her hard work this time."

Mo Lingwei turned his eyes: "If I want to thank you, I will give you some jade. She likes that. Don't be stingy."

After that, he left neatly. The emperor was stunned and then angrily shouted: "This is an unfilial son!"

The Imperial Master kept his head down and remained silent. He waited until Mo Lingwei left before he spoke again.

"Your Majesty, you should think carefully about what Wei Chen said just now. I looked at the stars at night and found that the Emperor's Star was dim. I am afraid that natural disasters will come again."

The emperor frowned and his face became truly serious.

"You said the same thing before, but no matter what the difficulty is, I have solved it with the help of Ning Ning. What you said before is to use the method of ancient culture to throw the blessed girl into the cauldron to worship the heaven. What do I think? It’s inappropriate and a little cruel, after all, that’s Ning Ning.”

Over the years, Shen Ningning has entered the palace many times, and of course spent a lot of time with the emperor.

Over time, the emperor gradually realized that the little girl was smart, could help him, and could make his son happy.

Why consider the cruel method mentioned by the Imperial Master and send her to sacrifice to heaven?

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Besides, no matter what kind of natural disaster comes again, I think Ning Ning will have a way to deal with it. Besides, Ling Wei's illness may not have relapsed for a long time."

"I think Ning Ning is really a lucky star, and this lucky star must be kept by your side and treated well."

The Imperial Preceptor was startled and hurriedly tried to convince the Emperor: "But Your Majesty..."

Unexpectedly, the emperor waved his hand, already a little impatient.

"Okay, don't say any more! I didn't blame you before. I surveyed the stars several times, but they were sometimes ineffective. If you don't have the ability, just resign as soon as possible and go home to retire. Go out, I have something important to do!" "

Seeing that the emperor was resolute, the imperial master had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

However, he did not leave, but went around the remote palace road and walked outside Concubine Qi's palace.

It happened that Concubine Qi came out to enjoy the flowers and saw the figure of the imperial master from a distance, passing by the back door yard.

She frowned and turned to order the maid next to her.

"It's hot in the summer, so go back to the palace to get a round fan and paper umbrella, and prepare some cold drinks."

"Yes." The maids retreated.

Concubine Qi walked very quickly to the back door of the courtyard, where the Imperial Master stood in the shade of flowers, looking gloomy.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is completely impressed by the lucky girl. I advise you to let the prince's old illness relapse now."

Concubine Qi's brows furrowed and her expression turned cold.

"I can't do it now, we have to wait."

The Imperial Master was anxious, thinking that what Concubine Qi said was just an excuse.

"Don't forget, when you promised to cooperate with me inside and outside to help the Changliu Kingdom seize power, I helped you several times. Now we are on the verge of firing. We only need two more natural disasters to bring the Cangyun Kingdom to its knees. I can’t stand up at all. When the time comes when the Chang Liu Kingdom takes over the capital, I will definitely ask the King of the Sun to give you and the King of Shu a good home."

A fierce light flashed in Concubine Qi's eyes, but she yelled angrily: "What are you in a hurry for? The top priority is to deal with Shen Ningning. I have said before that if you don't instigate the emperor to sacrifice her, keeping her will only do bad things."

The Imperial Master's face darkened, and he and Concubine Qi were thinking of countermeasures.

At this moment, the figure of the palace maid came from behind: "Madam, there is another letter from your mother's family."

Concubine Qi's eyes lit up: "I have thought of a way. You should go back first. When I need your cooperation, I will come to you again. Stay calm."

With that said, she turned around and left in a hurry.

After reading the letter sent by her parents' family, the sneer in Concubine Qi's eyes was even worse than before.

"My mother is really kind." Until this moment, he never forgot to threaten her with the past.

Concubine Qi folded the letter in half, lit the candle and burned it.

"Since they so hope to let Qi Xiuwei enter the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth, I will help them." (End of Chapter)
