Chapter 149 A Portable Wonderland, You Can Eat Whatever You Want

The little girl opened her lips softly: "Brother..."

Mo Lingwei held her little hand: "Don't talk, just listen to my arrangements, trust me."

His eyes were firm and gentle.

Shen Ningning did not say anything against it.

The commander of the imperial army, Lord Lu, glanced at their holding hands and silently withdrew his gaze.

Chen Shaobei had already accepted the order with a fist: "I will protect the county lady and not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any worries."

Everything was arranged properly. Mo Lingwei summoned the national teacher to calculate the auspicious time to enter the Zhaori Tower, which was tonight.

In other words, Mo Lingwei would enter the tower to pray to the gods tonight.

At his command, everyone was busy, preparing for the Crown Prince to enter the tower tonight.

Before Shen Ningning left the palace, she held his hand: "Brother, if it rains in Shuzhou, can you come out early?"

Mo Lingwei chuckled and reached out to rub her head.

"What are you thinking, idiot? The ceremony is complete. You can't come out in less than five days."

"But what if it doesn't rain after five days?"

Mo Lingwei's eyes dimmed, and his voice was faint: "There will always be a way, you don't have to worry about me."

It was late, and he still had a lot of things to prepare, so he could only let Chen Shaobei send Shen Ningning back first.

The little guy was reluctant to leave, and pulled his sleeve: "I will come to the palace to see my brother every day!"

Mo Lingwei stood at the door of the palace, bathed in the rays of light, and looked at her eyes as she walked away. He smiled slightly: "Okay."

After Shen Ningning left, his expression became completely cold.

Not eating for five days, only drinking water, and kneeling in front of the gods for a long time, he knew what this meant.

Concubine Li returned to the palace, dismissed all the palace people, and only kept her trusted nanny by her side.

She slammed the table and said in shock: "Crazy, Mo Lingwei is absolutely crazy. He dared to stay in the Zhaori Tower for five days and threatened not to eat. As long as his old illness relapses, it will take his life immediately. He doesn't want to live!"

The nanny rolled her eyes and said: "Maybe, he wants to make merit in front of the emperor. After all, people have been complaining about the prince. If the prince can really pray for rain this time, the people will definitely change their views on him."

"Hehe," Concubine Li sneered: "Praying for rain is easier said than done. Do you really think that kneeling for five days can move God? The emperor knelt in private for his precious son. I don't know how many times he knelt before the gods and Buddhas, but you see, is it useful?"

The nanny followed with gloating: "That's because the prince is unlucky, and the gods don't favor him."

Concubine Li felt that this remark touched her heart. After thinking about it, she came up with a vicious plan.

"Come here and do something for me. Try to add some salt to the water you send to Mo Lingwei every day. If he doesn't eat, he will definitely keep drinking water. I want him to be thirsty."

It would be best if his old illness relapsed and he died in there!

The nanny's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is wise. I will arrange it right away."

...

The next night, Shen Ningning couldn't help it and asked Chen Shaobei to take her to visit Mo Lingwei.

The Zhaori Tower is inside the palace, located in a rockery. Because it is a place for worshipping gods and Buddhas, few people come here on weekdays.

At this moment, a cool white moonlight shines on this place, showing endless loneliness.

Guards are standing under the stone steps, and on the stone steps, the Zhaori Tower is bathed in moon frost desolately.

Chen Shaobei was not allowed to approach, and Shen Ningning said: "It's okay, I can walk up by myself."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here." After Chen Shaobei finished speaking, Shen Ningning stepped onto the steps alone.

The guards briefly checked her and saw that the little girl had no sharp weapons or food, so they were relieved and let her go up alone.

The gate of Zhaori Tower was locked with six locks.

There was only one head-sized window open on the side. During the day, the palace servants transported memorials and clean water from here.

"Brother~Brother, it's me, I'm here to see you."

Mo Lingwei was kneeling in front of the Buddha to deal with memorials. Hearing this, he immediately walked to the window. He was tall and had to squat down.

Shen Ningning stood on tiptoe outside and jumped for joy when she saw Mo Lingwei's face.

"Brother, why are your lips cracked!" The little guy observed carefully and saw that Mo Lingwei's thin lips were cracked and bleeding scabs, as if he was dehydrated.

Mo Lingwei smiled, his voice a little hoarse: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll get used to it tomorrow, maybe it will be fine."

Shen Ningning stamped her feet: "I must be hungry! Fortunately, I brought food."

She turned her head and looked at the guards under the steps, all with their backs to her.

While no one was paying attention, she quietly handed the delicacies she brought from the fairyland in through the window one after another.

"Brother, eat quickly, this is the shrimp wonton made by grandma, and..." She sent in a water bag: "I specially filled a pot of iced sweet pear water for you, drink more."

Mo Lingwei was really a little thirsty.

The clear water here, the more you drink, the saltier and bitter it feels in your mouth.

He took the water bag and drank it all in a short while.

The little girl pulled at the window, blinked her big eyes and said, "Brother, drink slowly, I have spring water here."

After that, she pursed her little nose and said, "Hurry up and eat some wontons."

Mo Lingwei opened the food box and looked at the wontons with thin skin and big fillings, each of which was crystal clear, floating in the bowl with seaweed and shrimp.

He smiled helplessly, "Shen Ningning, eating is not allowed here, otherwise the gods and Buddhas will be unhappy, understand?"

Shen Ningning's innocent big eyes revealed a pitiful look.

"I don't know. I'll remember it next time, so I'll eat it first this time. Brother will explain it to the gods and Buddhas later, and they will understand you!"

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows. Where did this little idiot come from so many theories?

However, he was really hungry.

So I picked up the spoon and finished the bowl of wontons gracefully but quickly.

Like a magic trick, Shen Ningning took out another plate of sliced ​​honeydew and put it in.

Mo Lingwei held the spoon and was silent for a moment: "You brought these things in and the guards didn't notice?"

"No! I hid it and brought it in. Brother, eat it quickly."

Under her moist gaze, Mo Lingwei sat on the floor and finished the honeydew melon.

The moment the plate was finally handed out, Shen Ningning heard footsteps coming from below.

Turn around and look.

The little guy's expression changed: "Oops, someone is coming!"

Mo Lingwei saw her suddenly disappear from the window, as if she was squatting down to hide something, and there was a clanking sound.

He was afraid that Shen Ningning would hurt himself, so he said, "It doesn't matter if you are discovered. With me here, they don't dare to talk about you."

However, Shen Ningning had already straightened up out of breath: "It doesn't matter, hide it!"

Huh, luckily she has a fairyland.

Within a moment, Master Lu, the commander of the imperial army, had already walked to her side with the patrolling imperial guards.

"The county master is still in the palace so late?" Mr. Lu frowned, as if he could smell the aroma of food in the air.

Don’t worry, dears, I will start updating Chapter 3 daily in two days. I will not break my promise to you~ I’m just in good health and still have a bit of a cough. I didn’t sleep well at night, so I wasn’t energetic enough during the day. It will be about the same in a few days. La!
