Chapter 71 The Emperor Only Favors the Prince

that night.

This group of thieves and bandits were taken to the prison in the capital.

Chen Shaobei entered the palace at night and relayed the results to Mo Lingwei.

At this time, the night was dark, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was said to be violent and unprovoked, was sitting behind the screen of flying cranes and clouds.

Only one lamp was lit in the hall, and the light and shadow intertwined. Chen Shaobei could only see Mo Lingwei sitting lazily.

"Caught them all?" I don't know if it was Chen Shaobei's illusion, but Mo Lingwei's voice was a little tired.

"Yes, Your Highness, everything is as you expected. The treasures bestowed attracted the attention of the thieves, but the sixth prince was frightened, and Concubine Li devoted herself to taking care of him. No one colluded with the thieves, so they were all captured."

Mo Lingwei nodded lightly: "Well done."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure staggered.

Chen Shaobei was startled, and hurried around the screen to support Mo Lingwei.

However, as soon as he passed by, he saw that Mo Lingwei's hair and eyebrows were covered with frost.

His face was pale and handsome because of the frost.

His eyes were a little tired, obviously holding on, waiting for the result of the arrest.

"Your Highness!" Chen Shaobei hurriedly said, "I'll call the imperial physician."

"Don't go." Mo Lingwei stopped him: "If you go now, Father will focus on me, and he won't be able to see Shen Ningning's credit."

"Let her earnestly receive the reward. After that, it's not too late for you to tell Royal Father. I'm sick and can't die."

Chen Shaobei's heart was heavy, he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay."

Mo Lingwei closed his eyes, as if he had reached his limit.

"When I'm not awake, you should keep an eye on it, so that no one can take the credit for Shen Ningning."

"But... I saw Miss Shen in Xiangyun Village just now, and she even said that she would invite His Highness to come to her home to express her gratitude with an ice bowl."

The corners of Mo Lingwei's lips moved slightly, and he smiled.

"Don't tell her about my condition, just say that I'm done and I'll go to her."

"Okay..." Chen Shaobei watched Mo Lingwei lie down, helped him cover the quilt, and then left.

The next day, morning morning.

Chen Shaobei reported the capture of the rebellious bandits.

"It's all thanks to the vigilant cooperation of the villagers in Xiangyun Village, especially the little girl surnamed Shen, who is even more intelligent. The wolves she raised have helped a lot."

"Because the thieves were captured, the relief food that was robbed before was recovered at the same time. Although there is not much left, fortunately, the result has been achieved."

The emperor was very happy and kept saying that he would reward him.

"Prime Minister!" He called out, wanting the prime minister to reward the villagers instead of him.

But suddenly remembered that the prime minister was sick again today.

The emperor turned to order the eunuch: "Open my treasury, pick out jewelry, and reward this Shen Ningning!"

At this time, Wei Shangshu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although the righteous deeds of this little girl surnamed Shen are commendable, but as a citizen of Cangyun Kingdom, she should share your worries. If the reward is too heavy, Isn't that inappropriate too?"

Chen Shaobei looked at Wei Shangshu with cold eyes.

"His Royal Highness personally supervised this matter before, and the clues provided by Miss Shen are also the key to catching the bandits. Why is it not worthy of a generous reward?"

The emperor raised his hand: "Okay, all the lovers insist on their own opinions, but I have already made a decision in my heart."

"This credit must be rewarded. I will not only reward her, but also the entire Xiangyun Village!"

"Come here, prepare your brush and ink, I want to personally give the words to Xiangyun Village."

The eunuch hurriedly prepared.

Wei Shangshu glanced at Chen Shaobei unwillingly.

The emperor's heart is biased, as long as the prince is involved, he will blindly favor him.

A village deserves such a generous reward?

When the rewards arrived in Xiangyun Village, the villagers jumped up and down in a group, and their happy laughter went straight to the sky!
Shen Ningning was sitting on the back of the Black Wolf King with two little knots tied, with a happy and lovely expression on his face.

In fact, it was all because Mo Lingwei gave her a good idea!
He first rewarded things to convince the thieves that there were treasures in the village.

They then secretly arranged for Chen Shaobei's soldiers to pretend to be villagers and lurk in the village house.

Sure enough, a catch in a urn came.

Shen Ningning ran in front of Chen Shaobei, Nuo Nuo asked: "Brother, are you free today?"

Chen Shaobei remembered Mo Lingwei's advice, his eyes flickered, and he said: "His Royal Highness is busy with affairs these days, and when he finishes his work, he will come to visit Miss Shen."

Shen Ningning was a little disappointed.

But it was understood in an instant.

Brother is the prince, of course he is busy!

She smiled sweetly: "Okay, I'll wait for him!"

Chen Shaobei brought people to deliver the rewards and left.

The old village head set off six strings of firecrackers at the entrance of the village!

Crackling, as festive as the New Year.

He directed the villagers to hang the "Xiangyun Village" plaque written by the emperor above the entrance of the village.

This is something Guangzong Yaozu can boast about after three generations!

"Ningning, thanks to you this time."

"Yes, Ningning is our lucky star, and now even the emperor knows about our little Xiangyun Village!"

Shen Ningning was surrounded by everyone.

When the villagers talked about their joy, they threw the little guy up and caught it again.

The Black Wolf King screamed anxiously, for fear that Shen Ningning would be thrown by them.

In the end, the little guy was put down and said with a smile, "It's because we are united that we can have such a good result!"

"And it's not only my credit, but also the wolves and the little monkeys!"

The monkeys tipped her off, and the wolves brought back the thieves who wanted to escape.

The old village head nodded with emotion: "Only by working together can we live a prosperous life."

"However, because of Ningning, we can have such glory, so all these treasures bestowed by the emperor are given to Ningning, we can't be greedy!"

After he finished speaking, the villagers came out carrying two boxes of treasures.

This was rewarded by Mo Ling last time, and it was originally used as bait.

Shen Ningning did not expect that the villagers would return the ones they took away.

The old village head looked at her and sighed: "Ningning, what you brought to our village is peace, which is more important than wealth!"

If thieves and bandits were allowed to enter the village to burn, kill and loot, they would lose their foundation for life.

Shen Ningning blinked her round eyes, her voice was soft and clear.

"On my own, of course I can't do it. Uncles and aunts also have merit. Everyone said they would leave before, but there are people like Uncle Liu and Brother Chen who are willing to stick to it."

"Grandpa Village Chief, I don't want to own these treasures alone. Since we belong to the same village, we must get rich together!"

"You decide, divide up these treasures, and everyone has a share of what we keep!"

After Shen Ningning finished speaking, the villagers smiled redly.

Aunt Liu raised her voice even more: "Then I still want that string of pearl necklaces, don't let anyone snatch it from me!"

The old village chief smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay! Since Ningning has spoken, let's listen to her."

Finally, after counting, a family can get five or six jewelry, which together are worth 300 taels!

The villagers lined up to receive pearls and gems at the gate of the old village chief's house.

How scared I was before, how comfortable I am now!

Just when everyone was happy, Aunt Deng's voice came from the entrance of the village——

"Oh! I'm not late!"
