Chapter 71 The Emperor only favors the Prince.

That night.

  This group of thieves were taken to the capital prison.

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

  It was dark at this time, and His Highness the Crown Prince, who was said to be violent and unprovoked, was 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 sounded a little tired, whether it was Chen Shaobei's misunderstanding or not.

  "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 Ling Wei 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 Shen Ningning's contribution. , he won't be able to see it."

  "Let her truly be rewarded. After that, it's not too late for you to tell your father that I can't die from this disease."

  Chen Shaobei's heart was heavy. He hesitated for a moment before nodding. : "Okay."

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

  "While I'm awake, keep an eye on

  Shen Ningning and don't let others take away the credit for Shen Ningning's work." "But... I just saw Miss Shen in Xiangyun Village. She also said that she would invite Your Highness to go to her house to have 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 the morning court.

  Chen Shaobei reported the capture of the rebel bandits.

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

  "Because the robbers were captured, the wolves that were robbed before were also recovered . Although there is not much food left for disaster relief, fortunately, the results have been achieved."

  The emperor was very happy and repeatedly said that he would be rewarded.

  "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 eunuch and told the eunuch: "Open my treasury, pick out jewelry, and reward this Shen Ningning!"

  At this time, Wei Shangshu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although the righteous deeds of this little girl named Shen are worthy of praise, but she As a citizen of Cangyun Kingdom, I should share your worries. If the reward is too heavy, wouldn't it be appropriate?"

  Chen Shaobei looked at Wei Shangshu coldly.

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

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

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

  "Come here, prepare pen and ink. I will personally give the characters to Xiangyun Village."

  The eunuch quickly prepared.

  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 ones on her head, and a happy and cute look on her face.

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

  He first gave gifts to convince the thieves that there was treasure in the village.     Then secretly arranged for Chen Shaobei's soldiers to disguise themselves as villagers and lurk in the village houses.

  Sure enough, it was like catching a turtle in an urn.

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

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

  Shen Ningning was a little disappointed.

  But I understood it instantly.

  My brother is the prince, so of course he is busy!

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

  Chen Shaobei led someone to deliver the reward and left.

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

  It's crackling, as festive as the New Year.

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

  This is something that the ancestors of Guangzong will be able to brag about three generations later!

  "Ningning, thanks to you this time."

  "Yes, Ningning 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 and smiled: "Because we are united, we can achieve such a good result!"

  "And it is not only my credit, but also the wolf and the little monkeys!"

  The monkeys informed her, The wolves caught the thieves who wanted to escape.

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

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

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

  This was Mo Ling's reward last time, and 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 exclaimed: "Ning Ning, what you brought to our village is peace, which is more important than any amount of wealth!"

  If thieves were allowed to enter the village, burn, kill and loot, their foundation for life would 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 these treasures. If one person owns it, since we belong to the same village, we will be rich together!"

  "You make the decision and divide these treasures. 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, and no one can snatch it from me!"

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

  After a final count, one family could get five or six pieces of jewelry, which together were worth three hundred taels!

  Villagers lined up to receive pearls and gems in front 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!
