Bai Si: "Yes!" "Uh...Father, can I ask a question?"

Prime Minister Bai was in a good mood at this time, "Ask."

Bai Si: "Li Ze now has the support of the Goddess. If he changes his generation now, I'm afraid the people won't buy it, right?"

Prime Minister Bai: "Oh, what do you know? Once the goddess sends down the holy water and the divine weapons scatter, Mo Ningxu will have no power to protect herself. She will only have her martial arts skills. We can defeat her with the human wave tactics."

Prime Minister Bai felt that he was still a child and the questions he asked made people laugh.

Bai Si: "Father, we have enough troops, why do we have to worry so much? Can't we just rebel and make him give up the throne?"

He ruined his mood. Prime Minister Bai looked at Bai Si's arrogant face and angrily gave him a butt.

"Stupid! The Li family has been emperor for many years, and they are very important in the hearts of the people! They think that the emperor of the Li family bears the curse in exchange for the holy water sent down by the goddess! No matter what, there must be descendants of the Li family to rule the country."

This is also why Prime Minister Bai insisted that Concubine Lin give birth to a nominal Prince Li to consolidate his plan.

Prime Minister Bai rolled his eyes at Bai Si and said, "Be extremely alert. There can be no mistakes in this matter."

Bai Si: "As you command!"

Bai Si left, and Prime Minister Bai looked at his back. Bai Si was the youngest son of the Bai family, born to Prime Minister Bai's second wife, and was almost twice as old as Concubine Lin.

Prime Minister Bai loves his second wife very much, so he dotes on his youngest son. Even if he is stupid or his ideas are bad, Prime Minister Bai still likes him.

While thinking, Prime Minister Bai opened the window. The sunlight was dazzling. He seemed to see the future. His great-grandson would ascend the throne and he would be in power, above everyone else. After many generations, he could change Li to Bai.

The eldest son of the Bai family received the news very quickly and sat in the room with Bai, his face full of anxiety.

Prime Minister Bai doesn't pay much attention to him as the eldest son now. People are fond of new things and dislike old things. Maybe when Prime Minister Bai had only him as a child, he also carefully nurtured him. So when Prime Minister Bai wanted to use his daughter Bai Yilin as a bargaining chip to send her to the palace, he didn't dare to resist.

Now that Concubine Lin is pregnant under Prime Minister Bai's plan, they can't escape from it.

Mrs. Bai sat on the bed and cried, "Yilin is pregnant now, we can't be careless. It's inappropriate for the father to panic and rebel before the baby is even settled."

Her daughter needs help with everything now, how can she not worry.

Boss Bai sat at the table with a resentful look on his face, and kept silent. Although he felt sorry for his daughter, it was insignificant compared to his father's cause.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Bai walked up to him and said, "Speak up! Is father sure this time? Once the truth is revealed, there will be no turning back!"

Boss Bai: "What discouraging words! If you want to rise to the top, you have to make sacrifices! Father is the most important thing."

Bai: "Sacrifice! Why don't you sacrifice yourself? Let your daughter go?!"

The Bai sisters in the palace also received the news quickly, and they all cheered up and faced the outside world in unison.

Noble Lady Bai came to Concubine Lin's palace. Concubine Lin was sitting on the chaise longue, covered with a thick blanket, looking very leisurely and contented.

She sat on the chair, glancing at Concubine Lin's belly, feeling jealous and unwilling. Why did Grandpa choose Bai Yilin to carry out the plan? She was obviously younger and more suitable for childbearing!

Concubine Lin only glanced at her and understood what she was thinking. She said with disdain, "Not everyone can have your Majesty's child."

Amidst the mocking voices, Noble Lady Bai stared at Concubine Lin. Yes, Your Majesty loved that bitch so much, would he sleep with Concubine Bai Yilin?

Lady Bai: "Your medicine is really powerful. Even His Majesty can react to it."

Lin Fei's face froze. These words were like a slap in her face. "Let me remind you that things are different now. You and I are in the same boat."

Lady Bai: "Tsk."

Xuewu Mountain is a snowy mountain with snow all year round. When you reach the foot of the mountain, carriages can no longer go forward and you have to walk.

One is to show respect for the Snow Wushan Mountain, and the other is that the road is uneven and the angle is steep, so carriages cannot go up.

The group was dressed warmly and had someone coming down from the top of the mountain to lead the way for them.

Ningxu: "Is there anyone else living on the top of the mountain?"

Li Ze: "There is a Goddess Temple on the mountain, which is guarded by a special person. Every goddess who went to Xuewu Mountain to descend holy water would bathe, change clothes, and worship the gods in the Temple. It can also be used as a residence, just like a temporary palace."

Ningxu: “Oh~”

The weather is good today and it is quite warm. Mo Xi hasn't left the palace for a long time, so he left the team and had fun in the snow, jumping and dancing in the snow.

Ningxu and Li Ze kept staring at her as they walked.

Ningxu: "You said you didn't want to leave the cold palace. I guess you must have been feeling depressed during this period."

Li Ze: "She couldn't get over it herself, and felt that she owed you, so she stopped participating in the Mo family's relationship, thinking that this would be good for both you and her."

Ningxu: "What a pity. I don't care about these. I will find an excuse to throw her out of the cold palace in the future and let her do what she wants and not trap herself."

Li Ze: "Okay."

Ningxu shouted to Moxi, "Xiaowu! You're back! Keep going!"

When Mo Xi heard this, she held up her skirt and ran back to the team, "I'm coming! What do you think? Be obedient and come back when I tell you to."

Arriving at the top of the mountain, everyone saw the mysterious Goddess Temple. Although it was called a temple, it was actually more like a simple mansion. Because it was located at the top of the mountain, it was time-consuming and laborious to transport building materials, so they only built a simple and clear palace.

The goddess only appears in the world once every few decades, and only comes once, so it is enough to live here for the time being.

Entering the Goddess Hall, there is a place similar to a temple inside the hall, but the altar where the statue of the goddess should have been is empty.

Ningxu: "Why doesn't this look like it?"

Li Ze: "The appearance of each goddess is different. Anyone who has a goddess in his heart will not care whether there is a statue or not."

The three of them knelt on the mat and bowed, then stood up and went to their current residence.

When the officials behind him saw that His Majesty had bowed, they immediately knelt in rows and bowed.

On the day of the ceremony, everyone wore formal court robes, cloud-feather robes, and green jade pendants, and stood beside Li Ze.

"The ceremony of begging heaven begins!" announced the priest.

Ningxu was a little nervous and worried, and looked at Li Ze.

Li Ze encouraged, "It's okay, you can do it."

Ningxu swallowed, nodded, turned around, and walked towards the source of all the waters in Xuewu Mountain.

Standing still, Ningxu clasped her hands together in front of her chest, slowly closed her eyes, and muttered something, begging God to send down holy water to protect all people, so that they could live in happiness and peace.

When he opened his eyes, the two artifacts flashed and turned into two balls of light, which merged into one above the Source Eye, rising into the sky and shining with the sun.

The light was so bright that some people couldn't help but block the light in front of them.

One second, one minute, one quarter of an hour, time passed slowly, the beam of light above the spring was still dazzling, but there was no change, and no response from the sky.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, dark clouds covered the sun, and in people's eyes, the light of the light column gradually disappeared.

After it completely disappeared, the sun reappeared in everyone's sight. At this moment, the priest suddenly realized, "The begging ceremony has failed..."

This was the first time since the Tianle Dynasty had a goddess that the holy water had failed. The light column disappeared, and the two artifacts also disappeared without a trace.
