The eighth day of June.
It was supposed to be the scorching red sun with the fire umbrella rising high.
However, when the emperor stood on the Temple of Heaven, everything he could see was covered with white snow.
The day before yesterday, the heavy snow that had been falling for two months had completely stopped.
The entire Cangyun Kingdom has become a cold snow world.
In just two days, countless bodies were cleared out from under the snow.
There were endless cries in the city.
The cold wind howled, and the emperor's deep complexion became haggard and solemn.
All the ministers, all wearing thick fur cloaks, followed the emperor and looked at the Temple of Heaven, where the imperial master drew divination and made incantations, asking for God's will.
A moment after the imperial master shook the silver bell, the turtle's back cracked when it was thrown into the fire.
After taking it out not long after, the Imperial Master saw the cracks on it and his eyes suddenly widened.
He bent his knees and knelt down directly in front of the emperor, presenting the turtle's back with trembling hands.
"Your Majesty, as shown by the celestial phenomena, this time is a calamity and a catastrophic disaster, especially worse than during the drought."
In other words, is it more miserable than the years of drought?
When the emperor heard this, he knelt on the futon, raised his arms and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, go to heaven, what have my people done wrong? What have my sons done wrong?"
"If there is a disaster, punish me alone, don't do it. It's a disaster for Cangyun Country! All life is devastated and no grass grows. Where is the mercy of the gods?"
Since the snow disaster, Mo Ling's episodes of cold syndrome have increased more and more.
In just two months, he had been in coma four times.
The aconite medicine no longer works.
But every time Shen Ningning came to the palace and cooked soup for him, Mo Lingwei would get better within two days after drinking her soup.
At this moment, Chen Shaobei rode a fast horse and hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is suffering from cold illness!"
The emperor looked sad and said: "Please enter the palace."
Xie Suzhi, who was standing at the head of the civil servants, Bai Yu The expression on his cold face now became a little moved.
Chen Shaobei quickly led his troops back and went to Langshan to invite Shen Ningning.
The emperor was helped by the eunuch to stand up.
His eyes were red, and in just a few moments, he had calmed down.
"Post the emperor's notice to inform the people to stock up on rice and buy grain to deal with natural disasters." Now that the matter has come to this, we still need to tell the world and work together.
When the columns of imperial troops, hoisted with imperial flags, rushed out of the palace gate, the people seemed to see hope in despair and hurriedly followed the horses.
The Forbidden Army has posted imperial notices at every street corner, and the Imperial Adviser has started divination again. Natural disasters are coming, and the Emperor has ordered everyone to prepare for them.
Next, the imperial court will participate in the control of local grain stores and open the national treasury's granary for disaster relief.
The emperor also called on people with lofty ideals from all walks of life to donate materials and relieve the victims.
Countless people sat down in front of the imperial list, crying heartbrokenly.
"God damn the Imperial Preceptor, I just listened to him and said there would be no disasters in the winter, so I resold all the extra clothes and food I bought!"
"The Imperial Preceptor was right, there is indeed no disaster in the winter. Who would have thought it would happen so soon? It's summer, and a natural disaster is coming! "
"It turns out that what Fu Nu said is the most accurate. She told us in advance and gave us time to prepare. Damn it, I'm such a pig. Why didn't I believe Fu Nu? "
Everyone was filled with regret.
I don't know who it was, but said something in the crowd: "Fu Nu must have stored a lot of things, right? Let's go find her and get them!"
Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, and they all agreed.
"Yes, ask the lucky girl for help!"
"She is the lucky girl. She can't care about our life and death, right?"
Lord Lu, the commander of the forbidden army who had not gone far, looked at these people coldly.
Before the natural disaster came, they scolded Fu Nu as worthless.
Now that the natural disaster has really come, she is willing to admit that Shen Ningning is a lucky girl.
In this world, it is most difficult to save people's hearts. Commander Lu whipped his whip, and there was a "pop" sound in the air, which made the people hold their heads in fright.
He said coldly: "The emperor has an order to bring the lucky girl into the palace. If anyone tries to influence the lucky girl at this moment, don't blame me for being rude."
The people suddenly shrank with fear.
The idea of going to find Shen Ningning was dismissed a lot.
At this moment, Chen Shaobei came galloping with his troops.
A float surrounded by a thick felt curtain was dragged in the middle.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Chen Shaobei shouted hurriedly.
Commander Lu and the Forbidden Army helped guide the people to both sides of the road.
The curtain was shaken by the wind, revealing a small white face, giving a startling glimpse.
Some people were shocked and immediately shouted: "It's Fu Nu's float!"
They rushed on it like crazy, and Chen Shaobei and his horses were frightened.
The float immediately started shaking.
In the car, Shen Ningning held her hands on the car wall on the side, her body jolted violently with the float, like a trembling little glutinous rice ball.
Jiang Zhi sat next to her and said angrily: "I'll go down and deal with these unruly people!"
Shen Ningning pressed her hand: "It's okay, I guessed it a long time ago. Sister Jiang Zhi, throw down those buckets."
Jiang Zhi looked at the corner. Just before going out, Shen Ningning asked her to help fill three wooden barrels of large buns.
He must have guessed that he would be surrounded by people.
The barrels were thrown out of the float, and the people swarmed in and started looting like crazy!
Commander Lu was about to whip up his whip and seize someone, but when he saw this, he immediately urged Chen Shaobei: "Bring the float into the palace quickly."
Chen Shaobei nodded and shouted, and the team successfully left the crowd.
Jiang Zhi lifted the curtain and saw Commander Lu maintaining order.
That group of people actually started fighting over someone who stuttered.
She frowned: "If I had known this, wouldn't it have been better to prepare earlier when you reminded them?"
"Now I know I'm in a hurry. What did I do earlier?"
Shen Ningning sighed, holding her chin with her little hand, her pink and white round face Up, full of helplessness.
"We are all ordinary people. When we hear the Imperial Master say there will be no disasters in winter, we will doubt whether what I say is true or false."
"But fortunately, my relatives and friends around me have listened to me. As long as you are okay, I will rest assured." "
Jiang Zhi thought for a while and couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid the emperor will make demands on you this time you enter the palace."
Shen Ningning didn't answer, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window and the howling north wind, and fell into deep thought.
Two days ago, her godfather Xie Suzhi reminded her of this matter.
The emperor couldn't stand the pressure and knew that she had stocked up on so many goods before, so he would definitely talk to her.
Shen Ningning pouted and said, "I'm more worried about my brother's health than this."
At the same time.
Outside Xiangyun Village, the old village chief and his men drove Wang Qiaoer and Deng Fugui, who were wearing thin clothes, out.
Wang Qiaoer knelt on the ground and cried, "Old man, Fugui is your grandson, you can't ignore him."
"That bastard Badshun kicked us out because he thought our mother and I were in the way and there were not enough supplies in the house. "
If you don't even care about me, old man, then we two will freeze to death on the roadside!"
She said, pulling the silent Deng Fugui hard beside her.
"Fugui, hurry up, kneel down and beg your grandfather."
Then Wang Qiaoer raised her voice and looked sideways at the village: "Ningning, Ningning! You are kind-hearted, please give us a way to survive."
" Stop shouting, Ning Ning has been invited to the palace." The old village chief shouted: "I will never allow you to enter the village while I am here."
He glanced at Deng Fugui and closed his eyes with a heavy voice. : "I don't even have any grandchildren."
