Upon hearing this, Lord Tian looked at Sheng Wanwan with gratitude and said, "Little Goddess, thank you. I will go and make preparations now, and we will set off for the Northern Border tomorrow."

Sheng Wanwan smiled slightly, took out a new talisman from her bosom, and handed it to Lord Tian: "Take this talisman with you, it will ensure your safe journey. Also, remember to do this with sincerity, your merit will directly affect your child's fate."

Lord Tian accepted the talisman with both hands, carefully put it away, and then bowed deeply to Sheng Wanwan: "Little Goddess, I, Lord Tian, ​​will remember your kindness. I will thank you again when I return."

After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry to ask Si Nantian for leave, preparing to sell his property and raise funds for disaster relief.

Just then, the Ministry of Revenue had almost finished collecting the second batch of grain for the northern border. When the Emperor heard the reason why Lord Tian asked for leave, he did not grant him leave, but instead put him in charge of escorting the imperial relief grain.

Because Si Nantian knew that Lord Tian would do his best to protect the grain for the sake of his son.

The day before the grain convoy was to depart, Sheng Wanwan brought Sheng Wenjin into the palace.

"Uncle Emperor, I've done some calculations, and I predict that this grain transport mission will be robbed, and the entire army will be wiped out!"

Sheng Wanwan frowned slightly as she spoke.

"Completely wiped out? Hehehe... It seems Prince Rui is about to make a move!" Si Nantian did not seem too surprised when he heard Sheng Wanwan's words. Instead, he showed an expression of expectation.

"Wanwan, why did you bring your brother into the palace?"

Si Nantian looked at Sheng Wenjin with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Uncle Emperor, I want my brother to be in charge of this escort!"
