EBE Chapter 205 The Saint Appears
Chapter 205 The Saint Appears
What Manager Wang was worried about was right. The drought had lasted for so long that the people in the city were in a panic.
In the Zhaixing Tower, the emperor was only thinking about how to take money out of the pockets of civil and military officials, and didn't care about the lives of the victims at all.
All the court officials were locked up in the building, so even if the officials below wanted to do something, they didn't have the courage to do so.
The people watched as the well water in the city dried up. Even the deepest ancient well had run dry. Everyone was in a state of panic.
Fortunately, Dahe Village has been supplying water to the city during this period.
Although it’s not much, it’s enough to survive.
Because of this, the people in the city are very grateful to the victims.
Although they were disaster victims, they were kind-hearted and did not cut off the livelihoods of the people in the city, nor did they take the opportunity to raise prices.
As for the fact that there was no price increase, everyone knew it was entirely due to the kindness of Miss Liu and His Royal Highness Prince Xian.
Who would have thought that the prince who normally had the worst reputation would be the one who saved their lives?
The prince not only saved the victims, but now he has also extended a helping hand to the people in the city.
Therefore, among the people, King Xian can be said to have the best reputation.
Let’s put it this way, even Master Wuyou of Xiangguo Temple is now under the prince.
However, the rain did not fall for a long time, and everyone could not help but worry. They all walked outside the Zhaixing Tower and began to pray sincerely for rain.
The emperor originally wanted money, but now that he has been put in this situation, he has no choice but to pray for blessings.
The emperor was also helpless. After all, at this point, even if he wanted to return to the palace, he couldn't.
The civil and military officials were extremely depressed. They all gave money, but in the end they still couldn't leave. But fortunately, they could eat and drink enough.
Having been cheated so badly this time, one can imagine the anger in the hearts of the civil and military officials.
They didn't dare to really argue with the emperor, and all their hatred was blamed on the imperial teacher.
The imperial teacher was extremely anxious. Before this, he just wanted to rely on the emperor's favor to rise to the top overnight. Now he has offended all the officials in the court, which is also an unprovoked disaster.
Who on earth came up with this evil idea to get himself into such a state?
The imperial teacher, who had previously looked calm, was now extremely anxious until his apprentice brought him the news.
Pray for rain?
That is not an easy thing to do. I can't even do it, let alone an ordinary woman.
But then again, the national teacher did come up with a good plan that killed two birds with one stone.
Previously, my identity and status were too sensitive, which made many people hate me.
In this case, why not train a saint to share the hatred with you?
Xie Linlang didn't know that before her plan could be completed, she had already been targeted by the Imperial Master.
“Send a message to your senior brother, asking him to do his best to help Miss Xie and make sure her prayers are successful.
I calculated before that it should rain in the next few days. We must make sure that woman holds on, bathes and fasts, and must not collapse at this time. We need a saint!"
Although the disciple did not understand what it meant, he had to carry out the master's orders and immediately spread the news.
Xie Linlang just felt very excited. This was a rare opportunity and she would definitely seize it!
So Xie Linlang walked up to the platform in front of everyone and sat down seriously.
“Today a severe drought has come and the people are living in misery. I, a believer named Xie Linlang, pray sincerely, hoping that heaven will send down rain and give the people a way out.
From today on, I will pray sincerely and not eat a single grain of rice, hoping to move God and fulfill my sincere wish."
After Xie Linlang said this, the people below were stunned.
The eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion?
To be honest, she doesn't have a very good reputation.
Especially during this period, people said that this girl was seeking fame and fortune.
Now it seems that not all the rumors are true.
In order to pray for the people, she didn't even eat a single bite of food, which is something that most people cannot do.
But then again, looking at her actions this time, it doesn't seem like she is praying sincerely, but more like she is doing it for a good reputation.
After all, this girl's reputation is so bad that it's almost irreparable.
If she doesn't do something, who would dare to marry her in the future?
And speaking of which, why is this girl wearing a veil on her face?
If it was when you were doing something bad, then covering your face with a veil would be understandable, but now that you are doing something good, why do you still have to cover your face?
The people were puzzled, but it was always good to have more people praying.
"Some people are just hypocritical. It's ok for her to pray, but she has to be different from others. Her not doing anything like that makes us seem insincere."
"What you said makes sense. As a noble lady from a high-ranking family, how can she be without food and drink? Why would she compete with ordinary people like us for the credit?
We all prayed together, and then it really rained. Was it her credit or ours?"
Many people agree with this statement.
After all, it sounds like it makes some sense.
The imperial master's people did not expect that the people would be so shrewd. The reputation of this girl from the Xie family was really too bad.
In this case, they will inevitably have to resort to some means.
So, the eldest disciple of the national teacher arranged a good show.
Xie Linlang was a little panicked when she heard the discussions below. After all, things did not develop in the direction she expected, and she didn't know what situation she would face.
At this time, the eldest disciple of the national teacher actually asked her to perform a ritual.
Of course, Xie Linlang would not perform rituals, so naturally the people from the Imperial Master's Mansion arranged everything.
When the candle was lit, Xie Linlang cut her wrist and caught a bowl of blood. She then became drowsy.
However, the people in the Imperial Master's Mansion do have some skills. The magic they perform is even more gorgeous than the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
They put a drop of blood on the talisman paper, and after lighting it, it shot up into the sky like a firework.
This scene surprised the people. Could it be that this girl had some strange fate?
Soon someone spread the news that Xie Linlang's fate was unique and extremely valuable, and only prayers from such a person would be effective.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and had no choice but to believe it. After all, the person's fate was precious, and there were actually flocks of butterflies falling on Xie Linlang's body.
As the old saying goes, people with noble destiny are always surrounded by some strange sights.
For example, a butterfly flying around is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Liu Rumei sat in the teahouse and watched the scene below, and couldn't help but find it funny.
She thought the other party would have some tricks up his sleeve, but it turned out to be just a little trick like this.
In that case, there is no need to worry about it. After all, it will not rain for a few days.
It wasn't that she wanted to let Xie Linlang go, but she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
When she thought about the fact that she would be starving here for three days and three nights, her mood couldn't help but improve.
"Why do you look so happy?"
As Tang Mingchen asked this, he glanced at the platform below.
This guy is very sinister and is already thinking about how to torture Xie Linlang.
