Jiang Si didn't remember the name of the town where the earthquake occurred.
It was two years later when she returned to the capital in her previous life. The disaster that had left the few survivors with lingering fears had long since become a thing of the past. She had only occasionally heard people mention it, so she had never deliberately memorized the name of a small town in a neighboring province.
"What's wrong?" Yu Jin patted her gently.
Jiang Si came back to his senses and said in annoyance, "I forgot."
Yu Jin couldn't help but laugh, and pinched her cheek, "That's how dreams are. In a dream, every detail is crystal clear, but once you wake up, you immediately forget most of it."
Jiang Si bit her lip and said, "It's still troublesome that I don't remember the name of the town."
She thought for a moment and then said, "Ah Zhen, when you get there, take a look at which town the prince and his men have decided to live in before you stop. After all, they are the ones who decided where you live in your dreams."
"Okay, don't worry."
"Did you really keep it in mind?" Jiang Si asked again without being bothered by the nagging.
Yu Jin grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, his eyes full of smiles: "I really remember it. Ah Si, when have I ever not taken your words to heart?"
After hearing this, Jiang Si felt a little relieved. Of course, it was impossible to be completely relieved, as she didn't know the name of the town where the earthquake occurred. In addition, the earthquake was a sudden natural disaster, so there were too many unknowns.
Frowning and thinking for a while, Jiang Si said carefully: "Ah Zhen, in my dream, it was a prosperous town with many people. If you can, you can help those people..."
There are some things you can get away with not knowing, but once you know them, even if they have nothing to do with you, the tragic deaths of so many people are like a mountain pressing down on you, making you feel suffocated.
Among those who died in the earthquake were loving couples like her and A-Jian, as well as many young children.
Yu Jin nodded: "That's natural."
A warm current flowed through Jiang Si's heart.
She used nightmares to warn people, and Yu Jin agreed out of affection between husband and wife, but it was not easy to choose to believe her dreams and help the people. It was not so easy to make so many people believe in something that had not happened yet.
"Asi, in your dream, on which day did the earthquake occur in that town?"
If we just want to save the prince and his entourage, we can just not live in that town. But if we want to rescue the townspeople, it will undoubtedly be much easier to know the specific time.
Jiang Si shook his head with regret: "I don't remember either. But one thing is certain, just a few days after the prince moved to the town..."
She frowned and thought, unable to recall the details, and murmured, "It should not be more than three days."
Yu Jin raised his hand to smooth her brows and said with a smile, "Okay, I remember. Don't worry about these. It's still early. You can sleep for a while."
As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Si to lie down and fell asleep with her in his arms.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he heard the person next to him fall asleep, he moved his arm away and got up quietly.
"Your Highness——" When Ah Qiao saw Yu Jin coming out, she hurried forward to salute.
Yu Jin waved her hands and said softly, "The princess is sleeping soundly, don't wake her up."
Ah Qiao glanced at the closed door hesitantly.
Could it be that the prince would not allow the master to send him off? Then the master would be disappointed when he wakes up——
"The princess didn't sleep well at night and just fell asleep not long ago."
After hearing what Yu Jian said, Aqiao immediately gave up the idea of waking up Jiang Si.
The master is pregnant, so she needs to get enough rest.
In the early morning of May, the sunshine is always so bright that one cannot bear to sleep. Outside the window, the birds are singing crisply and chirping non-stop.
Jiang opened his eyes, reached his hand toward his body, and felt nothing.
A-Jian is gone?
She sat up and rubbed her brows blankly.
Hearing the noise, Ah Qiao and Ah Man came in together, followed by a little maid holding hand towels, washbasins and other things.
"Where's the prince?"
Ah Qiao and Ah Man looked at each other.
Ah Qiao replied, "The prince has already left, and since you were sleeping soundly, I didn't wake you up."
Jiang Si was silent for a moment, then said, "Help me wash up."
After some tidying up, breakfast was ready.
Jiang Si was helped by Aqiao to sit in front of the dining table which was full of dishes. Looking at the table full of food, he felt empty in his heart.
I was used to eating with two people, so I felt a little uncomfortable at first.
Despite feeling uncomfortable, Jiang Si ate a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of millet porridge before stopping. He touched his stomach and found that he was not full.
Staring at the bulging belly, Jiang Si thought to herself: Can a pregnant woman always eat this much?
She remembered the good doctor's advice that she should control her food intake when she was about to give birth, so as to prevent the fetus from being too large and causing adverse effects during delivery.
After dinner, I go for a walk.
"Master, cousin Dou is here."
After a while, the pearl curtain was lifted and Dou Shuwan walked in.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "My cousin has arrived just in time. Let's go for a walk in the garden together."
Dou Shuwan reached out to support Jiang Si, and the two walked out.
"Is the princess eating well?" Dou Shuwan asked as they walked in the colorful garden.
Although Jiang Si was worried about Yu Jian, he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "I'm fine. I ate a basket of buns and a bowl of millet porridge. I wanted to eat more, but Ah Man wouldn't let me eat anymore."
Dou Shuwan chuckled: "Imperial doctors are different. When I was in my hometown, I never heard that pregnant women were not allowed to eat more."
Jiang Si smiled and blinked: "Now that you have experience, you will know what to do in the future--"
Dou Shuwan blushed and glared at Jiang Si: "Princess, please don't make fun of me."
Jiang Si knew that Dou Shuwan was shy, after all, she was a generation older than him, so he stopped teasing her.
At the beginning of spring, Dou Shuwan and Long Dan got engaged. Like her, they now have someone to rely on.
"Don't worry, Princess. The prince will surely come back before you give birth." Although Dou Shuwan was still unmarried, she was not an ignorant girl of thirteen or fourteen after all. She knew that pregnant women tended to worry too much, so she comforted her.
Jiang Si looked past the cluster of peonies and into the distance: "Well, he will be back soon."
There was still a month before she gave birth, and the second earthquake with heavy casualties occurred not long after. When the earthquake occurred, the prince would definitely return.
She was not worried about this. After all, what she was most worried about was Yu Jin's safety.
I didn't notice it during the whole day's companionship, but now that he has left the house, the beautiful scenery in the garden seems to have lost its color.
The two of them strolled for a while and then walked back. Jiang Si suddenly realized something: "Why is Erniu not here?"
Jiang Sishou fell asleep and did not catch up to see him off, but Dou Shuwan did. Upon hearing this, she said, "The prince took Erniu with him."
Thinking about the big dog who was lazily chewing bones all day, Jiang Si smiled and said, "It would be good to let Erniu go out for some fresh air."
Erniu was indeed very excited, and followed Yu Jin with his tail wagging non-stop.
The prince was so shocked that his eyes widened: "Seventh brother, why do you bring a dog with you when you go out?"
The accompanying officials also shook their heads secretly.
Bringing a dog with you to provide disaster relief? Why do you think the Prince of Yan is even less reliable than the Crown Prince?
Yu Jin patted Erniu on the head and said seriously, "Second brother, you are wrong. This is not an ordinary dog."
