Chapter 71 The emperor only favors the prince

 That night.

This group of thieves were taken into the capital prison.

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

At this time, the night is dark, and His Royal Highness, the legendary prince who is violent and unprovoked, is sitting behind the flying crane cloud screen.

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

"Caught them all?" Mo Lingwei's voice was a little tired. I wonder if it was due to Chen Shaobei's misunderstanding.

"Yes, your highness, everything is as you expected. The treasures given 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, he staggered.

Chen Shaobei was startled and quickly walked around the screen to help Mo Lingwei.

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

His face looked white and cold due to the frost.

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

"Your Highness!" Chen Shaobei said hurriedly: "I'll call the imperial doctor."

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

"Let her be rewarded truly. After that, it won't be too late for you to tell your father that I will never die from this disease."

Chen Shaobei felt heavy. He hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay."

Mo Lingwei closed his eyes and seemed to have reached his limit.

"While I'm awake, keep an eye on me and don't let anyone take away Shen Ningning's credit."

"But... I just saw Miss Shen in Xiangyun Village. She also said that she would like to invite Your Highness to her house to serve an ice bowl to express her gratitude."

Mo Lingwei’s lips moved slightly and he smiled.

“Don’t tell her about my condition, just say that I’m done and will go find her.”

"Okay..." Chen Shaobei watched Mo Lingwei lie down, covered him with a quilt, and then left.

 The next day, go to court early in the morning.

 Chen Shaobei reported the capture of the rebellious bandits.

“It’s all thanks to the alertness and cooperation of the villagers in Xiangyun Village, especially the little girl surnamed Shen, who is even more intelligent. The wolves she raised helped a lot.”

“Because the bandits were captured, the relief food that had been robbed before was also recovered. Although there is not much left, fortunately, the results have been achieved.”

The emperor was very happy and repeatedly said that he would reward him.

“Prime Minister!” he called, wanting the Prime Minister to reward these villagers on his behalf.

 But suddenly I remembered that the Prime Minister was ill again today and couldn't come.

The emperor turned to the **** and told 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 worthy of praise, as a citizen of Cangyun Kingdom, she should share your worries. If the reward is too heavy, Isn’t it also appropriate?”

Chen Shaobei looked at Wei Shangshu with cold eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally supervised this matter before. The clues provided by Miss Shen are also the key to catching the thief. Why is it not worthy of a large reward?"

The emperor raised his hand: "Okay, all of you have your own opinions, but I have already made a decision in my heart."

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

 “Come, prepare pen and ink, I will personally give the calligraphy to Xiangyun Village.”

 The **** prepared quickly.

 Wei Shangshu glanced at Chen Shaobei unwillingly.

The emperor's heart is biased. As long as it concerns the prince, he will pamper him with his eyes closed.

 Does a village deserve such a generous reward?

  When the rewards arrived at Xiangyun Village, the villagers jumped into groups and laughed happily into the sky!

Shen Ningning was sitting on the back of the Black Wolf King, with two little knots on her face, a happy and cute look on her face.

 Actually, it was all because Mo Lingwei gave her a good idea!

 He first gave gifts to convince the thieves that there were treasures in the village. Then he secretly arranged for Chen Shaobei's soldiers to pretend to be villagers and lurk in the village houses.

 Sure enough, he caught a turtle in an urn.

 Shen Ningning ran to Chen Shaobei and asked Nuo Nuo, "Brother, are you free to come today?"

Chen Shaobei remembered Mo Lingwei's instructions, his eyes flashed and he said, "His Royal Highness has been very busy recently. When he is finished, he will come to visit Miss Shen."

Shen Ningning was a little disappointed.

 It only took a moment to understand.

 My brother is the prince, so of course he is 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 firecrackers at the entrance of the village!

 Crackling, as festive as the New Year.

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

This is something that the ancestors of Guangzong can boast about three generations later!

“Ning Ning, thanks to you this time.”

“Yes, Ning Ning is our lucky star. Now even the emperor knows about our little Xiangyun Village!”

 Shen Ningning was surrounded by everyone.

 The villagers were so happy that they threw the little guy up and caught it again.

The Black Wolf King howled anxiously, fearing that Shen Ningning would be thrown by them.

 Finally, the little guy was put down with a smile: "Because we are united, we can achieve such a good result!"

“And it’s not just my work, but also the wolf 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: "Only by working together can we live a prosperous life."

“However, it’s because of Ning Ning that 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 carrying two more boxes of treasures.

This is what Mo Lingwei rewarded last time. It was originally used as bait.

Shen Ningning did not expect that the villagers would return what they had taken away.

The old village chief looked at her and sighed: "Ning Ning, what you brought to our village is peace, which is more important than any amount of wealth!"

If bandits are allowed to enter the village to burn, kill, and loot, their foundation for life will be gone.

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

"Of course I can't do it alone. My uncles and aunts also contributed. 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, village chief, I don’t want to own these treasures alone. Since we are from the same village, we must be rich together!”

“You be the master and divide these treasures, and everyone will have a share of what we keep!”

 After Shen Ningning finished speaking, the villagers' faces were filled with smiles.

Aunt Liu even raised her voice: "Then I still want that string of pearls. No one can **** it from me!"

The old village chief smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay! Since Ning Ning has spoken, we will listen to her."

 At the end of the count, one family could get five or six pieces of jewelry, which together were worth three hundred taels!

Villers lined up to receive pearls and gems in front of the old village chief’s house.

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

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

 “Oops! I’m not too late!
