Chapter 450 Explosion
Lei Yingying's husband: "Yingying, Dad and I will go together to see if we can help."
"Be careful on the road. Mom and I will be waiting for you here."
Wen Zhenyi frowned as he looked at the fire in the distance, then looked at the frightened children: "Happy, happy, let's go inside and teach our brothers and sisters how to fold paper airplanes, okay?"
The children calmed down after their parents comforted them: "Okay."
Wen Zhenyi took the children to the room, took out the collected kraft paper, and began to teach them how to make handicrafts: "Today we will make paper cranes."
"Aunt, what are a thousand paper cranes?"
"Legend has it that if you fold a thousand paper cranes, your wish will come true."
"Really?"
"Auntie doesn't know if it's true or not, it's just people's expectation of good wishes."
Xiaoyi looked at the cut paper in his hand and said, "I hope it's real."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him and asked, "Xiaoyi, do you have any wishes?"
"I hope my mother's health will get better and she can be happy every day in the future."
"Yes, your mother will be very happy every day to have such a well-behaved child like you."
Wen Zhenyi taught the children how to fold paper cranes to distract them, while at the same time he watched what was happening outside.
Now Shen Hanxing has asked someone to find out what exactly happened.
Others were also anxiously waiting for news, hoping that the situation would not be too bad.
The person who went to inquire about the news did not wait for Shi Xuan, but instead waited for him who rushed back from the Imperial Hospital.
Shen Hanxing saw that his clothes and hair were a little messy: "Shi Xuan, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't have time to explain all this to you right now. I'll just come back and get the medicine box and leave."
"What happened outside?"
"A fireworks shop exploded, starting a fire. This fire scared the crowds visiting the lantern festival. Now there are too many people injured, burned, and trampled. The imperial physician and all the doctors in the city have been called in to help. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to rush over to help."
"Take care of yourself."
"knew."
Wen Zhenyi asked the children to fold it themselves first, and she walked to Shen Hanxing to inquire about the situation.
Shen Hanxing repeated what Shi Xuan said: "It's a mess outside now."
"Is there a fireworks shop in the capital?"
"It's not surprising to have fireworks shops, but the inventory in fireworks shops is regulated and they don't have too much. And safety checks are carried out at any time. However, today's explosion doesn't seem to be caused by a small amount of fireworks."
Wen Zhenyi frowned: "I'm afraid a lot of people will die today."
No one spoke, just quietly waiting for news.
Wen Zhenyi played with the children for a while. As it was getting late, he took them to take a bath and let them stay at home.
The children were so happy that they had forgotten the sound of the explosion.
Huanhuan and Xixi are the happiest. It is the first time for them to sleep with so many brothers and sisters.
Xiaoyi quietly pulled the hem of Wen Zhenyi's skirt: "Auntie."
Wen Zhenyi bent down and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"Grandfather and second uncle will be fine, right?"
"Don't worry, they'll be fine."
Xiaoyi then smiled and climbed onto the bed obediently to sleep on the outermost seat.
This child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Wen Zhen saw several children playing and fighting and said, "Okay, lie down nicely, I'll tell you a story."
"Aunt, what are you telling us?"
"Tell you stories you haven't heard."
When the children heard this, they lay down obediently, and several pairs of eyes stared at her.
Wen Zhenyi pulled up the quilts for the children and said, "Close your eyes and listen carefully."
The children were very obedient and closed their eyes waiting for the story.
Wen Zhenyi told them the story of the three little pigs. After the story was finished, the children fell asleep.
She placed a kiss on each child's forehead and said, "Have a sweet dream."
Lei Yingying and the others saw her come out and said apologetically, "We're really sorry that we still have to ask you to help take care of these children."
"What are you talking about? I know you're worried about me, and besides, these kids are all very well behaved."
Meng Caidie: "Are they all asleep?"
"Everyone is asleep, don't worry."
The person who went to get the news also came back. When he came back, he had lost a shoe and his clothes were torn in several holes. "Miss, son-in-law, it's a mess outside. The army has been dispatched to evacuate the crowd and suppress it."
"Can you find out what the specific situation is?"
"I couldn't find out. When I went out, I only saw people running and the sound of crying and shouting. I couldn't even get in to find out."
"You've worked hard, go down and rest."
Madam Meng and the others were also anxious: "How on earth did this happen?"
Ma Yinghe comforted them: "Don't worry, we will wait a little longer."
No one was sleepy anymore, so they just went to the hall to wait for news from outside, and they waited until dawn.
Wen Zhenyi and Shen Hanxing are going to the palace today: "Don't worry, let's go to the palace first to find out the news."
"Okay, let's wait a little longer. We don't know what's going on outside right now, so be careful."
The two changed their clothes and left the Princess's Mansion. They did not choose to take a carriage.
When we arrived at the main street, we saw the mess on the ground, the knocked-over wooden frames, the lost shoes, and some bloodstains, all of which showed the chaotic scene of yesterday.
There are few shops open on the street today, and some soldiers are cleaning up the debris on the street.
Wen Zhenyi and his companions were about to go to the palace when a group of people blocked their way, with daggers in their hands pointed at their waists.
Shen Hanxing was very calm: "What do you want to do?"
"Princess, please take us into the palace."
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at the person who spoke: "Okay." After that, he pulled Shen Hanxing and walked forward.
Shen Hanxing felt the rhythm of the beating on the back of his hand, but followed it without making a sound.
Arriving at the palace gate, the guard looked at the people behind her and asked, "Princess, why are you bringing so many people with you today?"
"I asked them to come and help."
The soldier let them in without saying anything else.
Wen Zhenyi entered the palace gate and saw that there was no one around: "You can leave now."
"We'll let you go now. If you call for help, it might be bad news. But please be a good person and take us to see the emperor." As he said this, he poked the two men's backs with the tip of the knife again.
Wen Zhenyi felt a slight pain in his waist: "Okay."
Shen Hanxing tapped the back of her hand with her fingers.
The two of them went to the imperial study together: "Eunuch Guo, has the emperor left the court?"
Eunuch Guo looked at the people behind her and said, "Not yet. Did the princess bring someone to see the emperor?"
"Well, there are some things about the wedding banquet that need to be decided by him."
