About a month later, as the drought worsened, riots even broke out in some areas.

The Empress, having no other choice, sent Wange to the Rain-Praying Platform, promising to release her if she could successfully pray for rain, and to execute her if she failed, accusing her of spreading heresy.

After observing the celestial phenomena, almost everyone concluded that it was unlikely to rain in the next few days.

But just as Wan Ge began praying for rain, the sky became overcast—the first overcast day in over a month. As he began chanting the rain-praying incantation, large raindrops began to fall.

This is the second time this body has prayed for rain. The first time was when she had been with the Imperial Advisor for over a year. At that time, there was also a drought. The Imperial Advisor took his young apprentice with him, but he didn't go himself, instead letting his young apprentice go.

The imperial advisor said she would succeed, and sure enough, her prayer for rain was successful that time.

But that time, the Imperial Advisor had actually predicted that it would rain and wanted to solidify his disciple's position, so he sent her.

Ruan Ruan asked with some confusion, "Sir, didn't you lose your magic power?"

Didn't the adult say that all his magical power was restricted, and that he used the last bit on the villain? So how can it rain whenever he wants? This world doesn't seem to be as divine as it's made out to be.

With a faint smile, Wan Ge replied to Ruan Ruan, "It seems you're still quite unfamiliar with the concept of the protagonist's halo."

If I weren't helping the female lead, I might not have been able to successfully pray for rain so easily. But I'm helping the female lead rise to power now; I'm helping the darling of Heaven. What does a little rain matter?

Wan Ge knew that no matter when, as long as he asked for something from the female lead, he would always grant her request.

Ruan Ruan understood; it turned out they were helping their own daughter. However, if the adults weren't restrained, they would probably let it rain or the wind blow as they pleased.

After this rain, the Imperial Advisor's position was firmly established. The Empress became particularly uneasy; if this was the case, it meant the other party was right, even if he wasn't.

But now, the people certainly agree that she was right.

No! Absolutely not!

Before the Empress could figure out a way to deal with the Grand Preceptor, a plague suddenly broke out due to the prolonged drought.

Actually, it had appeared before, but it's only being exposed now; it's not just in one place.

Then more people said that it must be because the current empress does not have the destiny of a phoenix that she has brought disaster to the people.

At that very moment, Si Kou Lingyue, carrying medicine to treat the plague, headed to the plague-stricken area.

The medicine was very effective; after taking it twice, I was almost completely recovered.

Si Kou Lingyue said that her prescription was given to her by an old immortal in a dream. She originally just wanted to try it out, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Thus, the immortal Sikou Lingyue appeared in my dream, and the news that I was born with the destiny of a phoenix spread.

Moreover, through the calculations of the Imperial Advisor, it was determined that the chosen one was Sikou Lingyue.

At this moment, not only ordinary civilians but also all the former ministers have rallied to support Sikou Lingyue. Thus, the Empress has become a jinx, imprisoned, and Sikou Lingyue is about to become the new Empress.

The Empress looked at the two women standing in front of her: "You, you planned this all along! An Wange, you were on her side from the very beginning."

I never imagined that despite all my precautions, I hadn't anticipated this. I never expected that the eldest daughter of the Sikou family, known for her womanizing ways, would harbor such ambition.
