The prince nodded and said solemnly, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Goddess."

Ying Yufu blushed slightly when he called her Goddess.

She was determined; since he called her Goddess, she had to do this well.

A hint of a smile flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes.

Turning his head, his expression also became serious.

In his view, Fu'er was indeed no different from a goddess.

Her magical artifact truly brought countless blessings to Bei Xuan.

However, before Ying Yufu could go and pretend to be a goddess, in the evening, a guard from the Eastern Palace rushed over to report that the Yuan residence was surrounded by a crowd of people.

Most of these people were those who had watched the river god worship ceremony during the day, but there were also some newcomers.

At this moment, they knelt outside in a dense mass, their hands clasped together and raised high, as if praying to the gods.

Several bandits stood casually to one side, staring wide-eyed at the man with astonishment.

"Are they insane? They actually dare to kneel here! Aren't they afraid of us? We're bandits!"

A lean, middle-aged man stared wide-eyed.

Another, shorter, younger man said, "Didn't you hear what they just said? They've come to pay their respects to the Goddess!"

With the Goddess Goddess around, they have no fear of us!

"The goddess is real, I saw it with my own eyes today..." the lean man said with a serious expression.

Immediately, a group of bandits on duty gathered around and began discussing the matter with great curiosity.

"In that case, Princess Anguo is truly a goddess, extraordinary, extraordinary indeed."

"Do you think that with the Goddess Goddess around, we won't have to be bandits anymore? Can't I go back home and farm?"

A dark-skinned man said with a hopeful expression.

A burly middle-aged man slapped the dark-faced man on the forehead. "What's the point of farming? We're doing great now, we have plenty to eat and drink. Look at you, so useless!"

The bruised man who had been beaten chuckled sheepishly.

When bandits risk their lives, how can they ever have a peaceful life?

They huddled together in a crooked, sprawling group, chatting animatedly.

On the other side, the Imperial Guards of the Eastern Palace stood straight and in neat formation, their eyes fixed straight ahead, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the corners of their lips were twitching slightly.

The discussion on the other side continued.

Then the strong man said, "Did you hear that just now? These refugees are kneeling here, begging the goddess to send rain."

"Tsk, even a goddess can't send rain in the dead of winter, can she?" the short man said.

"Who says it has to be rain? It can snow too! By spring, the snow will have melted, and we won't lack water!"

The dark-faced man then revealed a blank, dreamy smile.

This time, not only him, but the other bandits also showed longing in their eyes.

If they had water, they wouldn't have to be bandits anymore...

Pah, pah, pah! What are you thinking? You're so spineless!

They're really powerful now; they're on duty alongside regular soldiers, and they're officers too.

Thinking about it, they looked across at the other side, wanting to ask what the other side thought about praying to the goddess for rain.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw the people opposite me kneeling on the ground in perfect unison.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Greetings, Princess Anguo!"

The bandits were immediately startled and knelt down in a flurry, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

They felt ashamed after kneeling down.

"We're just bandits, why should we kneel before the Crown Prince?"

"Who said we're kneeling to the Crown Prince? We're kneeling to the Goddess!"

Ying Yufu glanced at them with amusement.

The crown prince also glanced at them speechlessly.

At this moment, the people kneeling outside became excited when they saw Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince come out.

"Greetings, Goddess! Greetings, His Highness the Crown Prince!"

At least half of these people were migrants, and the other half were mostly local residents.

Ying Yufu, who was also going to pretend to be a goddess, didn't say much at this moment, but directly said, "Fellow villagers, please rise first."

An old man with white hair and beard, and a withered face, said, "Goddess, we have come here to beg you to use your divine power to save us, to save our fields!"

After he finished speaking, he knelt down again.

"Please, Goddess, save our fields!"

The cries of prayer were so continuous that they were deafening.

Ying Yufu felt a pang of sadness.

She spoke in a gentle voice, "Everyone, please get up. I promise you, I will definitely save your fields."

I will not only save your fields, but also give you new seeds so that you will never go hungry again!

The kneeling crowd couldn't help but raise their heads, their faces filled with excitement and tears as they looked at Ying Yufu.

"Goddess, you are so kind and virtuous, I wish to have a golden statue made for you and worship you for generations to come."

They didn't doubt her words at all; instead, they excitedly and fervently kowtowed.

Ying Yufu was anxious, and then a thought struck her. She said, "Little Dian, how do we wake them up? Something a little more alert."

The little monster's eyes darted around, very clever, and it said: "Yes, the host can purchase one-time limb control, which allows control of tens of thousands of people."

Ying Yufu looked at the scene before her; there were probably less than ten thousand people.

"Buy it!" she said.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully purchased one limb manipulation transaction. The system has deducted 50 points, and your current balance is 10786 points.]

At that moment, Ying Yufu used this body manipulation on these people.

The people felt as if their bodies were suddenly out of control, as if an invisible, warm hand had lifted them all up.

They stood up, but looked at Ying Yufu with even greater fervor.

Heavens above! They had actually encountered a real goddess!

The bandits standing nearby also stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock. Good heavens, it really is the goddess!

Not only them, but even the Crown Prince's personal guards showed strange expressions and almost called out "Goddess Empress".

Seeing that this tactic was indeed very effective, Ying Yufu smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, listen to me."

Immediately, they stopped talking and even breathed very softly.

Pairs of devout eyes gazed at her.

"It is winter now. If I send rain for you, it will freeze into ice, and you will catch a cold and fall ill."

But don't worry, I have a way to give you water, and I can even make it snow for you.

Not only that, I can also give you cotton-padded clothes, food, and money.

The people's wide eyes were filled with longing.

"But you must also promise me that next spring you will try planting new grain varieties," Ying Yufu said, revealing her ultimate goal.

"Host, this land in Yuzhou is very suitable for growing new crops. They're sure to have a bumper harvest next year," Xiao Dian said.

Ying Yufu smiled gently, her voice soft: "Moreover, the new crops will yield a higher harvest than the ones you planted before, and you'll never have to go hungry again."

The common people already believed Ying Yufu's words without a doubt.

Just then, a ghostly voice rang out.

"She's lying, she's deceiving you all, she's not a goddess at all!"

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince frowned immediately and turned to look, only to see that Mingluan had actually woken up.

Her face was wrapped in white bandages, leaving her with only one left eye to see, two nostrils to breathe, and a mouth.

With her only remaining eye, she stared at Ying Yufu with intense resentment.
