In the government office of Xianqin Prefecture, Rongxiu and others had just explained the matter of Wushan Village.

The prefect stroked his mustache and looked at everyone doubtfully. After a long moment of hesitation, he finally smiled and said calmly, "Since the prince has spoken, there is no reason for me not to respond. It's just that..."

The prefect raised his eyelids, glanced at Rong Xiu, and then said meaningfully: "I heard the news that Princess Changle and the prince were killed on the river..."

Rong Xiu understood what he was saying halfway through. He said calmly, "It's just a trick to deceive people."

As he said this, he signaled Princess Lin'an to take out the token she was carrying and show it to the prefect for inspection.

The prefect took the token and checked it. He felt relieved and said, "I will send someone to check it out right away. As for this little girl..."

The prefect glanced at Daya, who was huddled aside, and then continued, "How about letting her live in the backyard first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant outside suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"Sir! It's bad!" The bailiff shouted in panic, "The bugs outside are going crazy!"

"What's the big deal?" the prefect scolded unhappily. They were just bugs! Why make such a fuss? It was embarrassing for him!

As soon as he finished speaking, everything went dark before his eyes.

A huge rat fell from the beam and hit him in the face. The magistrate was so scared that he jumped three feet away and ran out of the door screaming.

Rong Xiu and others also felt something was wrong, so they ran out and when they stood in the yard, they felt a violent shaking.

The yamen suddenly became chaotic, with screams everywhere.

"Run! The earth dragon is turning over!"

…

In the mountains, Princess Changle was asking questions when she suddenly felt the shaking. She was distracted for a moment when a poisonous insect as big as a garlic fluttered its wings and pounced on her hand.

Princess Changle only felt a pain in her hand, her vision went dark, and she completely lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was already lying in a makeshift tent, and the person giving her acupuncture was Gongsun Li.

Princess Changle was confused and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with me? Where is Miss Hua?"

Gongsun Li was silent for a moment, stood up silently, and walked aside to pack the medicine box.

After a long while, he finally spoke under Princess Changle's inquiring gaze: "There was an earthquake in Xianqin Mansion, and you were bitten by a poisonous insect and slept all night... Doctor Hua, you are still underground..."

Princess Changle felt cold at heart. She asked hesitantly, "What do you mean...still underground..."

After a moment, Princess Changle looked at the collapsed earth and rocks, and Rong Xiu who was busy with his men working on the earth and rocks, and only then did she realize what Gongsun Li meant.

——The earthquake came, and Miss Hua couldn’t escape!

"Luo! Xia! Mountain!" Princess Changle clenched her fists and cursed with gritted teeth. If it weren't for Luoxia Mountain, how could Miss Hua be trapped underground! How could such a thing happen!

Gongsun Li looked at the furious Princess Changle and said quietly, "The master of Luoxia Mountain is also down there and couldn't come out."

"What?" Princess Changle was stunned.

Gongsun Li let out a long sigh. According to the servants of Luoxia Mountain, the owner of Luoxia Mountain had long heard of Doctor Hua's excellent medical skills and wanted to test Doctor Hua's abilities, so he specially ordered people to prepare this courtyard.

"…It is said that Luoxia Mountain encountered an ambush the day before yesterday, and most of the medicinal fields where Suyu grass was planted were destroyed. In order to be on the safe side, the owner of Luoxia Mountain took the remaining Suyu grass and hid it underground…"

But this sudden earthquake completely collapsed the entire villa, and buried the master of Luoxia Mountain and Su Yucao completely underground.

As he spoke, Rong Xiu had already put down what he was holding and walked over to Princess Changle. He was covered in dust and looked disheveled. Where was the cynical young man he had looked like before?

"Changle." Rong Xiu's eyes were red, and his voice was even more hoarse and unpleasant. He asked: "Is the earthquake considered a natural disaster?"

According to the laws of our dynasty, if there is really a plague or natural disaster outside, the princess can mobilize resources no less than a prince with a title! She is even eligible to borrow some of the surrounding troops!

Rong Xiu stared into Princess Changle's eyes and said stubbornly, "Please mobilize the army. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find her back!"
