“Did it fail?” After the Emperor heard this, he became thoughtful.

It didn’t only work for the Third Prince in the Dongyang Province; many others had also been given something for their prayers.

So why did it fail in the capital? What was the reason?

He picked up the Third Prince’s memorial and read it carefully again. Soon, he focused his attention on two sentences.

One was to be pious, which meant that when offering prayers, one had to believe in Mother God wholeheartedly.

The second was that Mother God would only care for the genuine refugees and not just help anyone.

As for the capital, no matter what, it was still under the feet of the Emperor.

There were many large families here, and which of them didn’t have grain in storage? They all had at least three years’ worth of grain, so the capital was generally never short of food. It was just that there was a distinction between those better off than others.

Therefore, it was unrealistic to ask Mother God for food.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty.” Eunuch Li rushed in at this moment and kneeled while shouting excitedly.

The Emperor looked at his excited face and knew something must have happened, and it was a good thing. He asked with anticipation, “Take a breath and speak slowly.”

Eunuch Li nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, “Mother God has manifested; she has answered some prayers.”

“What do you mean? Are you sure?”

“There’s news from the beggars that a hundred sacks of noodles appeared out of thin air where they lived last night. However, it’s the kind of flour mixed with grains and vegetables.”

The Third Prince had mentioned this. Although it was a little rough, it could help alleviate hunger, and this was also what Mother God had given the most to the refugees.

“Also, also, a few families got eggs and noodles. 1 heard that the white and snowy noodles are better than the fine noodles in the palace.” Eunuch Li finished as he took a deep breath.

“Oh, what kind of family?” The Emperor asked thoughtfully.

“They’re from the slums. I heard that one of them has a seriously ill family member, and the others either have pregnant women or babies.

“The ill, pregnant, and baby?”

After the Emperor heard this, he suddenly understood. These three kinds of people all needed nourishment, especially pregnant women and babies. They would most likely lose their lives if they didn’t eat enough.

He thought of something and said to Chief Xiao, “Inform the soldiers to go to the slums and inform them that anyone who dares to snatch the food bestowed by Mother God will be killed without mercy.”

“Yes.” Chief Xiao responded, then left.

He almost tripped over the threshold when he went out. He also didn’t expect Mother God to really show up and give something to her followers.

The Emperor’s mouth twitched when he saw this, and his heart wasn’t calm either.

Soon, he thought of what the person had said before—that the First and Fourth Princes had received some information two days ago.

“Tell Xiao Dezi to inform the eldest and the fourth to come to my study as soon as possible to see me,” he instructed Eunuch Li.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will have Xiao Dezi make the arrangements.” Eunuch Li responded, slowly stood up, and left.

After he left, the Emperor sat on his dragon throne with complicated feelings.

Honestly, he was both respectful of and afraid of Mother God.

He respected her identity and her kindness. If she had not acted in time, even if the Great Ming could survive, it would at least be in turmoil for a few years, and there might even be a change of dynasty.

He also feared her prestige would surpass his, the Emperor’s, or the entire imperial family’s. That would pose a threat to his rule.

However, the news of Mother God’s manifestation spread in the capital and soon reached every corner of the Ming Dynasty.

It was too late for him to stop it now, so the only thing he could do now was to pay his respects..
