Chapter Seventy-One: The Emperor Only Favors the Prince
That night.
This group of thieves was 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 the legendary violent and unprovoked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat behind the Feihe Cloud Screen.
There was only one lamp lit in the hall, and the light and shadow were staggered, and Chen Shaobei could only see Mo Lingwei sitting lazily.
"Caught all?" I don't know if it's Chen Shaobei's delusion, Mo Lingwei's voice is a little tired.
"Yes, Your Highness, everything is as you expected, the treasures given have attracted the attention of the thieves, but the six princes were frightened, Concubine Li threw herself on him to take care of him, and no one colluded with the thieves, so they were all arrested."
Mo Lingwei bowed his head slightly: "Well done." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure staggered.
Chen Shaobei was startled, and hurriedly bypassed the screen to help Mo Lingwei.
However, as soon as he passed, he saw that Mo Lingwei's hair and eyebrows were covered with frost.
His face was pale and cold 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 doctor." ”
"Don't go." Mo Lingwei stopped him: "If you go now, my father will pay attention to me, and he won't be able to see Shen Ningning's credit." ”
"Let her be rewarded earnestly, and after that, it's not too late for you to tell your father, I can't die of this illness."
Chen Shaobei was in a heavy mood, he hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay." ”
Mo Lingwei closed his eyes, and seemed to have reached the limit.
"When I didn't wake up, you stared at it, don't let people rob Shen Ningning of the credit."
"But...... I just saw Miss Shen in Xiangyun Village, and she also said that she would invite Her Highness to her home ice bowl to express her gratitude. ”
The corners of Mo Lingwei's lips moved slightly, and he smiled.
"Don't tell her about my condition, just say I'm done and I'll go to her."
"Good ......" Chen Shaobei watched Mo Lingwei lie down, helped him cover the quilt, and left.
The next day, the morning is above.
Chen Shaobei reported the capture of the bandits.
"Thanks to the vigilant cooperation of the villagers in Xiangyun Village, especially the little girl surnamed Shen, who is even smarter, and the wolves she raised have helped a lot."
"Because of the capture of the bandits, and at the same time, the disaster relief food that was robbed before was recovered, although there is not much left, but fortunately, there are results."
The emperor was overjoyed and said that he wanted a reward.
"Prime Minister!" He called out to the prime minister to reward the villagers instead of him.
But I suddenly remembered that the prime minister couldn't come back because he was sick today.
The emperor then instructed the eunuchs: "Open my treasury, pick out jewelry, and reward this Shen Ningning!" ”
At this time, Wei Shangshu took a step forward and arched his hand 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, and if the reward is too heavy, is it not appropriate?" ”
Chen Shaobei looked at Wei Shangshu with cold eyes.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally supervised this matter before, and the clues provided by Miss Shen are also the key to capturing the bandits, why isn't it worthy of a big reward?"
The emperor raised his hand: "Okay, all of you Aiqing have their own opinions, but I have already made a decision in my heart." ”
"This merit must be rewarded, I will not only reward her, but also the entire Xiangyun Village!"
"Come on, prepare pen and ink, I want to personally give words to Xiangyun Village."
The eunuch hurriedly prepared.
Wei Shangshu glanced at Chen Shaobei unwillingly.
The emperor's heart is biased, as long as it is about the prince, he will close his eyes and spoil him.
A village deserves such a generous reward?
When the reward arrived in Xiangyun Village, the villagers jumped in a group, and their happy laughter soared into the sky!
Shen Ningning sat on the back of the Black Wolf King, holding two small pinchs, with a happy and cute face.
In fact, it's all because of Mo Lingwei's good idea for her!
He first rewarded the bandits with something to convince them that there was a treasure in the village.
and then secretly arranged Chen Shaobei's soldiers to pretend to be villagers and lurk in the village house.
Sure enough, there was a turtle in an urn.
Shen Ningning ran to Chen Shaobei and asked, "Is my brother free today?" ”
Chen Shaobei remembered Mo Lingwei's advice, his eyes flashed, and he said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been busy with affairs recently, and when he is done, he will come to visit Miss Shen." ”
Shen Ningning was a little disappointed.
But it was understood in an instant.
My brother is the crown prince, so of course he's busy!
She smiled sweetly: "Okay, I'll wait for him!" ”
Chen Shaobei led people to deliver the reward and left.
The old village chief set off six strings of firecrackers at the entrance of the village!
Crackling, as festive as the New Year.
He commanded the villagers and hung the plaque of "Xiangyun Village" inscribed by the emperor himself above the entrance of the village.
This is something that can be boasted of three generations later!
"Ning Ning, thanks to you this time."
"Yes, Ning Ning is our lucky star, and now even the emperor knows about our little Xiangyun Village!"
Shen Ningning was surrounded by everyone.
When the villagers said they were happy, they threw the little one up and caught it.
The Black Wolf King whined anxiously, for fear that Shen Ningning would be thrown by them.
Finally, the little guy was put down and smiled: "Because we are united, we can have such a good result!" ”
"And it's not just 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 chief nodded with emotion: "Everyone can work together to live a prosperous life." ”
"However, because of Ning Ning, we can have such glory, so these treasures rewarded by the emperor are all given to Ning Ning, we can't be greedy!"
After he finished speaking, the villagers came out with two more boxes of treasures.
This was the last time Mo Ling was rewarded, and it was supposed to be used as bait.
Shen Ningning didn't expect that the villagers would return the ones they had taken away.
The old village chief looked at her and sighed: "Ning Ning, what you have brought to our village is peace, which is more important than any wealth!" ”
If the thieves were allowed to enter the village to burn and loot, their lifelong foundation would be gone.
Shen Ningning blinked his round eyes, his voice was soft and clear.
"On my own, of course I can't, uncles and aunts also have merit, everyone said they wanted to leave before, but there are people like Uncle Liu and Brother Chen who are willing to stick to it."
"Grandpa the village chief, I don't want to possess these treasures alone, since we are a village, we must be rich together!"
"You are in charge, divide these treasures, and everyone who we leave behind will have a share!"
After Shen Ningning finished speaking, the villagers were full of laughter.
Aunt Liu raised her voice even more: "Then I still want that pearl necklace, don't rob me of it!" ”
The old village chief smiled from ear to ear: "Good, good!" Since Ning Ning has spoken, let's listen to her. ”
In the end, it was counted that the family could take five or six pieces of jewelry, which were worth three hundred taels together!
The villagers lined up to receive pearls and gems at the door 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-
"Oops! I'm not late! ”
