After a while, Shen Ningning came out dragging a basket that was taller than her.

A basket full of pork belly with distinct texture made the tigers’ eyes widen.

However, this is not enough.

Shen Ningning went back and forth in the fairyland.

Twenty pounds of pork belly, thirty shaved chickens, and thirty pounds of big bones.

Also comes with a whole tree of pineapples.

The big tiger surrounded Shen Ningning and howled.

Is it confirming that these are really for them?

Shen Ningning wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Yes, it's all your fault. I just had to work hard to drag it away. If you put it in the temple, others will rob it if they find it."

The big tiger roared, and the other two tigers immediately bit the meat and dragged it out.

Shen Ningning had to leave, she still had to go to the National Temple to string beads.

The tiger walked her all the way to the door. The little guy looked back with a smile and touched their furry heads one by one.

"You can come to Langshan to play with me when you have time." After saying that, she jumped down the mountain.

On the way, Shen Ningning suddenly realized what she was doing.

Just now the tigers said that it was the group of little monkeys who told them the news about themselves.

Can animals actually communicate with each other?

Could it be that it was all because of drinking her spiritual spring water?

Otherwise, she wouldn't understand what the tigers were saying.

The little guy was thinking about it while going down the mountain, but he saw Chen Ye's figure hurriedly going up the steps.

At first glance, he came to find her.

"Brother Chen~!"

"Miss, I just heard that a bandit was arrested at Fashan Temple. I came to take a look. Fortunately, you are okay."

"Of course I'm fine. My brother Xie and I captured those bandits together."

She raised her head and looked carefully. Chen Ye's eyes seemed a little solemn.

Especially when I hear the words "Brother Xie".

The little guy Nuonuo asked: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? What happened to you?"

"Miss, it's a long story. I might have to go out to avoid the limelight," Chen Ye said.

Shen Ningning was shocked and asked why.

"Just now I was waiting for you at the foot of the mountain, but I saw someone dragging the bandits down. I recognize that person. He is the major general from the frontier and my top general."

Chen Ye said, his face becoming more solemn and pale: "When I left, the general in charge of me was his deputy general. The deputy general was a good man and knew that I would die if I stayed if I was sick, so he found an opportunity to drive me out. Military camp.”

"But I heard a while ago that Major General Xie knew that I contracted the plague on the border. He must be here to investigate my matter when he returns to Beijing this time! So, I have to leave."

Shen Ningning was puzzled: "But your illness has been cured. Even if he finds you, nothing will happen to you."

Chen Ye shook his head hastily: "Military regulations state that if you get sick in the camp, you must not leave without permission. You must report it to the military commander. I escaped privately, which is a strict violation of military regulations."

"Major General Xie is a man with strict rules. If I were caught by him, I would definitely die."

This is no longer a matter of contracting the plague.

In Xie Mingxu's eyes, Chen Ye committed the crime knowingly!

Bringing the plague back to the capital, even if it is not contagious, is still a violation of discipline and wastes the lives and deaths of the people in the capital.

If Chen Ye is caught, he will be dealt with according to the military law and beaten to death with a heavy stick and a board.

Shen Ningning was a little hesitant: "Perhaps you are overthinking it. Maybe Brother Xie didn't come back to Beijing for this reason. Why don't you just wait and see what happens?"

"Absolutely not!" Chen Ye refused hastily: "Once discovered, not only will my mother be implicated, but even you, the young lady who took me in, will be accused of crimes."

Shen Ningning is his benefactor, and he must not harm her.

Chen Ye insisted on leaving, but the little guy couldn't persuade him anymore.

So, he asked Chen Ye to send her to the Guo Temple and gave him one hundred taels of silver as payment so that he would not live on the street outside.

Before leaving, Chen Ye knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Ningning.

He always had a tough guy personality, but now his eyes were red.

"Miss, if I don't come back in ten or twenty years, please take care of my mother and give her a mouthful of food. If I, Chen Ye, don't have a chance to repay you in this life, I will definitely work as a cow or a horse for you in the next life!"

Shen Ningning quickly helped him up with her little hands.

"Brother Chen, don't worry. It's too early to speak. Maybe everything will turn around."

Chen Ye shook his head bitterly. It seemed that he respected and feared Xie Mingxu in his heart.

However, Shen Ningning felt that Xie's brother was not difficult to get along with and he should not be an unreasonable person.

After Chen Ye left, the little guy went straight to the Guo Temple.

The temple was full of incense and there were many faithful men and women. Shen Ningning went directly to the abbot and asked her to consecrate and string the beads.

When he learned that the beads came from His Royal Highness, the abbot was extremely surprised and treated them with caution.

He called a dozen monks who were accomplished practitioners to consecrate the beads, chant sutras, and bless and protect the Dharma.

Shen Ningning knelt on the futon devoutly and kowtowed to the gods.

The little guy put her hands together, and amid the sound of Sanskrit chants, she said, "I hope the beads can bless my brother Mo Lingwei and that he will recover smoothly."

The next day.

The emperor led all the civil and military officials, together with the prince Mo Lingwei, to worship at the Temple of Heaven.

Mo Lingwei stayed in Zhaori Pagoda for five days, praying for heavy rain for Shuzhou.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor wanted to ask the Rain Goddess to bless the entire Cangyun Kingdom and shower it with sweet rain during the rain praying ceremony.

In the stands not far away, the concubines and the family members of the ministers were sitting.

Master Gu was dressed as a follower and stood beside Wei Shangshu.

Wei Shangshu whispered: "Master Gu, when the rain praying ceremony begins, my daughter will be invited by the emperor to go to the Temple of Heaven. At that time, I will trouble you."

Master Gu squinted his eyes inscrutably: "Don't worry."

The ceremonial officer saw that the time had passed and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived! Please, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, open the altar!"

The emperor took a step forward and was about to uncover the red silk covering the giant cauldron.

But he was stopped by Mo Lingwei.

"Wait a minute, there's still one person missing."

"Who is missing?"

"Shen Ningning. I have sent someone to pick her up. She will be here in a minute."

The ceremonial officer looked embarrassed: "This, this, this... Your Highness, you don't wait for anyone to offer sacrifices to auspicious times."

The emperor was also a little shaken. He said in a deep voice: "Ling Wei, today is to pray for rain and offer sacrifices. You must not be willful. Even if Shen Ningning comes a little late, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that we have to start first."

Mo Lingwei's eyes were dark and cold: "Shen Ningning must be present. During the five days I was in Zhaori Tower, she was with me and gave me the motivation to persevere."

"The rain in Shuzhou is all due to her. Without her, I would have given up long ago. Therefore, without her, the rain-seeking ceremony would not be complete, and the auspicious time cannot be regarded as auspicious."

After hearing this, the emperor said helplessly: "Okay, okay, then wait! Let's wait together."

Wei Yufu was waiting aside wearing heavy clothes.

Her clothes were specially imitated by the embroiderer based on the clothes of the Rain Goddess. The fiery red color was worn on her body, and the scorching sun above her head made her sweat profusely.

After standing for a long time, she couldn't hold it any longer and her head was dizzy from the sun.

"Why haven't you started yet?" Wei Yufu became impatient.

As a blessed girl, this was the opportunity Wei Shangshu specially asked for for her.

When the ceremony to pray for rain begins, she will go to the Temple of Heaven as a lucky girl. Once it rains, you can imagine her wealth and glory from now on!

Let's see who in the capital dares to say that she is fake.

The maid whispered: "Miss, please wait a little longer. His Royal Highness will not open the altar until the Lord of Funing County arrives."

It's Shen Ningning again?!

Wei Yufu snorted coldly: "She can't ask for rain, so what are you waiting for her to do?"

Even so, she could only listen to Mo Lingwei's words and stand and wait.

After a while, Chen Shaobei came over with a horse carriage.

The curtain was lifted, and Shen Ningning's little figure appeared in everyone's eyes.
