Jiang Shu gently held He Yi's hand and softly comforted her.
He Yi was speechless. How come no one believed her when she told the truth?
She took a deep breath, then looked at Jiang Shu very seriously: "Princess, I'm really not joking with you, the mudslide will be here soon!"
"Heyi, keep your voice down, don't say anything unlucky." Jiang Shu covered Heyi's mouth.
Today, everyone here is of noble birth, and even the Empress Dowager is by my side. If the Empress Dowager hears this, she will probably punish me severely!
Now He Yi understood that no matter how much she talked, they wouldn't believe her.
Just as He Yi was speechless, the surrounding mountains suddenly began to shake, and then a series of tremors came from under her feet!
"It's an earthquake!"
"Empress Dowager, run! It's an earthquake!"
He Yi immediately realized what was happening, pushed Jiang Shu aside, and told Yun Yu to take her away first.
Soon after, others also realized something was wrong, and the scene became chaotic.
He Yi had experienced an earthquake before, and now she was even more panicked. The people around her were also scrambling to escape, but no one cared about the most esteemed Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager is so pitiful; at her age, she certainly can't escape it!
[Shouldn't the female supporting character be stalling the female lead and getting her killed at this point?]
[Where have you been, female supporting character?!]
He Yi quickly made her way through the crowd and approached the Empress Dowager.
Zheng Yutang was initially frantically trying to survive, but upon seeing He Yi's actions, her expression immediately changed, and she quietly approached He Yi.
The ground beneath their feet was shaking violently, and floodwaters began to gush from the surrounding mountains, threatening to engulf the entire hunting grounds in a fierce deluge.
After finding an opportunity, Zheng Yutang gave He Yi a hard shove from behind.
Caught off guard, He Yi lost her footing and fell to the ground. The moment she realized she had been pushed, she used the force of the push to fall right next to the Empress Dowager.
"Empress Dowager, don't be afraid!"
He Yi struggled to grab the Empress Dowager's hand, then, enduring the pain, got up from the ground and, without saying a word, carried the Empress Dowager and began to run wildly.
Wow, the female supporting character is so cool!
[How did she, such a small child, manage to carry the Empress Dowager on her back and run around?]
[She was originally a farmer's daughter, so naturally she could run!]
He Yi carried the Empress Dowager on her back and raced against the mudslide coming down the mountain. At this time, the Imperial Guards had already entered the scene and began to evacuate the crowd and stop the mudslide.
"He Yi!"
Minister Zheng's first thought was to find his daughter, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find her. Finally, he spotted He Yi carrying the Empress Dowager through the sea of people!
He desperately tried to get closer to his daughter and help her, but in the crowded conditions, even if he went against the flow, he couldn't get any closer!
"Let me go!"
"I'm going to find He Yi!"
Jiang Shu was being held tightly by Yun Yu, struggling violently!
"Princess, you can't go!"
"Zheng Heyi was just the daughter of a high-ranking official; her death is no big deal. I only care about you!"
Yunyu held Jiang Shu tightly, pulling her into her arms and refusing to let go!
Are you all dead?!
"Help!"
Jiang Shu had already been dragged to the high platform, so she could clearly see the danger of the mudslide and how He Yi was struggling to carry the Empress Dowager.
No matter how strong she was, she was still just a thirteen-year-old girl. How could she possibly outrun a mudslide while carrying the Empress Dowager?
A giant wave came and slammed He Yi to the ground!
He Yi gripped the Empress Dowager's hand tightly: "Empress Dowager, don't be afraid!"
"Little girl, let me go."
"You won't survive with me by your side."
The Empress Dowager, being of advanced age, was also moved by He Yi's sentiments.
She couldn't bear to see such a young life end because of her.
"I won't let go!"
"Empress Dowager, don't worry, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will come to your rescue soon!"
"Empress Dowager, hold on!"
He Yi held the Empress Dowager's hand tightly, refusing to let go even for a moment!
With her other hand, she clung tightly to the largest rock closest to her, refusing to let go despite the waves lashing against her body.
Having gone through so much hardship to get to where she is today, how could she possibly give up so easily!
She just wanted to live a good life and be a superior person.
"My life is precious, not the heavens!"
[Sob, I'm almost moved to tears by the female supporting character.]
[Hold on, female supporting character! At least don't die yet!]
Is that... the male lead?
[The male lead is here! Great, it's the male lead!]
He Yi gripped the stone tightly, not daring to let go with either hand. Her fingernails had already started to break from the excessive force, and bright red blood flowed out from under her nails.
Finally, He Yi saw a familiar face, and then she saw many, many people. Then her hand stopped hurting, and then she knew nothing more.
"He Yi! He Yi!"
"What's wrong, Heyi!"
"Imperial Physician!"
Zheng Yu immediately pulled the person out of the water, held him in his arms, and shouted loudly.
Standing on high ground, Jiang Shu could see everything clearly. She could clearly see the burning passion in Zheng Yu's eyes, and she could clearly see Zheng Yu's concern. She could clearly see that all of Zheng Yu's emotions were because of the one in his arms!
"The county princess?"
After sensing Jiang Shu's emotional change, Yun Yu immediately stepped forward and supported Jiang Shu, who almost fell.
"I knew He Yi was no good, and it turned out I was right!"
"Princess, please don't be angry. Her desire for Young Master Zheng is nothing but a pipe dream!"
Jiang Shu didn't want to hear any of this right now!
Jiang Shu suddenly realized that compared to all of this, she was more worried about He Yi dying!
"Silence! Summon the imperial physician!"
Jiang Shu's eyes reddened, and then she used all her strength to break free from Yun Yu and went to meet Zheng Yu.
"How is He Yi?"
Zheng Yu didn't even glance at Jiang Shu, and directly carried He Yi into the tent inside.
I think the female lead is broken.
[Male lead, you're inhuman! You've really fallen in love with your own sister?]
To be honest, isn't this kind of supporting female character worthy of love?
[Never mind all that, the female supporting character is going to die!]
When He Yi slowly opened her eyes, she saw these scrolling subtitles. Through these subtitles, she roughly knew what had happened after she fainted.
It was too dangerous here, so the Emperor and Empress Dowager immediately ordered them to return to the palace!
Even though He Yi was still dizzy, she was still put into the carriage and is now lying in Minister Zheng's arms.
"Heyi, you scared Daddy to death! You really scared Daddy to death!"
"If anything happens to you, what will your father do? You're trying to kill your father!"
Minister Zheng's body trembled slightly, and every word he uttered was choked with emotion.
