Chapter 586 Earth Dragon
Chapter 586 Earth Dragon
Li Taohua held Qin Huiyin's hand and looked at her again and again.
"Are you okay? Did the thing in your stomach get scared?"
"Luckily, I'm off duty now and my husband is with me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"God bless you." Li Taohua clasped her hands together. "I was really scared just now."
Tang Luwu said from the side, "Mother was extremely worried, afraid that something might happen to you. Luckily, my eldest brother comforted me, saying that Lord Song must be with you now and that you would be fine. Otherwise, I would have wanted to come look for you just now."
Tang Yi smiled and took Qin Huiyin's pulse.
"Don't worry, mom. My sister and nephew are both fine."
"Our capital hasn't seen a rebellion in thirty years," said a nearby citizen. "Everyone says it's because the current emperor is unpopular, and heaven has sent down a punishment, foreshadowing the arrival of a new and wise ruler."
Qin Huiyin and everyone in the Tang family looked at each other in surprise.
The earth dragon reversal incident had just happened, and rumors were already flying everywhere. It can be seen that this emperor is really unpopular, and everyone is waiting for him to abdicate.
"I heard that wherever the Wuxiang League went, the people were fine and not harmed. The Wei family army also did not harm ordinary people. No matter which of the two groups entered the capital, as long as we open the city gates, I believe no one will lose their lives."
"Don't say that again. In any case, those two teams haven't attacked yet. If you keep talking nonsense here, you might not live to see that day."
"After such a natural disaster, what did the government do? The first to respond were the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice. These two agencies sent people to rescue the people first. Do you think this is reasonable?"
"Lord Jiang of the Military Affairs Department is quite good. He reacted quickly and brought his men to rescue us."
"That's because Lord Jiang was brought up by Lord Song. When Lord Song was in charge of the military, he loved the people like his own children and had nothing to say about ordinary people like us. Whenever we were wronged, he would definitely lead people to seek justice. He would never look down on us just because we were insignificant people."
"Yes, the Military Affairs Department is indeed diligent. If the rebel army invades the capital, we must intercede for the Military Affairs Department and Lord Song and make sure they don't let the rebels harm them. They are good officials, and good people should be rewarded."
Qin Huiyin and everyone in the Tang family looked at each other and smiled.
"This time, the earth's dragon turned over, and many people were buried. My husband got the token from the emperor, and officials from all places have to obey his orders. I just hope those people will cooperate well and actively rescue people so that more people can survive."
For safety reasons, they did not return to their respective residences that night, but instead slept on the floor in a spacious place to rest.
Qin Huiyin and the Tang family are protected by many people, and no one is so blind as to offend them.
"Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Song..." The other ladies also came.
"What are you..."
"My husband said we might have a terrestrial dragon tonight, so he told us to stay in a spacious area. He also said that since Madam Tang and Madam Song are here, this area should be relatively safe, and it's always a good idea to hide with you."
Qin Huiyin also saw Gong Qianyue. However, Gong Qianyue now looked much older, and was dressed in nothing, as if she had become a monk.
Chang Xiaohuan lowered his voice and said, "She is no longer favored by the Zhu family, and the Gong family has also cut off ties with her."
Qin Huiyin understood.
Zhu Hongxiu became a concubine, and the Zhu family's wealth rose. Gong Qianyue had previously helped the eldest princess, so of course she lost her usefulness. Gong Qianyue's display of weakness was also a sign of self-preservation. As long as she didn't fight or compete, the Zhu family would treat her as a decoration, allowing her to stay in peace in her own little world.
Zhu Jingxuan and Zhu Jingcheng took the women in the mansion and stopped not far away to take refuge.
Zhu Jingxuan's gaze always lingered on Qin Huiyin.
Tang Yi smiled at Zhu Jingxuan, holding a silver needle in his hand and making a threatening gesture towards him.
This brat was so bold that he even dared to look at his second sister. Everyone in the capital knew that his brother-in-law was a fiercely protective wife-loving man. If anyone dared to offend his second sister, at best, he would lose his hands and feet, or at worst, his life.
It was a troubled night. Officers and soldiers from all over the country were rescuing civilians, and civilians who still had the strength to spare were also helping to rescue people.
With the joint efforts of everyone, more and more people were rescued.
The doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau and the doctors from the people were running around.
Except for the weak women who found a place to rest temporarily, the others almost did not sleep all night and were still rescuing people.
Some people cried so loudly that it shook the earth.
After all, not everyone is so lucky.
There are also people whose families have no casualties, but they have worked hard to earn money and have just bought a shop or a new house. Now the earth suddenly collapses and all their property is gone. That is also very desperate.
Song Ruize came to pick up Qin Huiyin early the next morning with steamed buns, soy milk and other breakfast items.
"Mother-in-law, are you okay?" Song Ruize asked.
Li Taohua said, "We are all fine. You didn't sleep all night, did you? Just go about your business and don't worry about us. With so many of us, we can definitely take good care of Yinyin."
"I'm not tired," Song Ruize said. "You guys should eat something first. Also, you might have to stay for two more days. According to the news from the Imperial Observatory, there will be small-scale aftershocks in the next two days."
"it is good."
"Husband, you and elder brother must be careful too." Qin Huiyin said while holding Song Ruize's hand.
"I know."
"Sir Song..." A soldier ran over and said to Song Ruize, "Something happened."
Seeing the soldier's nervous expression, Song Ruize knew it must be a big deal, so he hugged Qin Huiyin and followed the soldier.
It wasn't long before word of the 'accident' spread.
It is said that when someone was digging the ground to save people, they dug out a stone tablet. On the stone tablet were written words such as "the king of a fallen country". The general meaning was that the current emperor was unkind and unmerciful, and was not tolerated by heaven, and the country's fortune was gone.
"This matter has spread. The person in the palace was furious and wanted to kill someone to vent his anger, but was stopped by Lord Song."
"Who did he want to kill? Now that everyone knows about it, is he going to kill everyone? I think the stone tablet is true. He hasn't done anything practical since he took office. He only favors treacherous ministers and knows how to enjoy himself. He doesn't do anything else."
Tang Yi came over with a smile and asked Qin Huiyin, "Second sister, do you think this stone tablet was written by my eldest brother or my brother-in-law?"
Qin Huiyin glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense."
Just understand it in your heart, but don’t say it out loud, be careful not to be heard by others.
Whether it's the eldest brother or the husband, it's okay to take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire. It's a matter of time anyway.
On the third night after the earth dragon turned over, there was another small earthquake, but fortunately, there were no new casualties.
