Chapter 586 Earth Dragon
Li Taohua held Qin Huiyin's hand and looked at her again and again.
"Are you okay? Is the thing in your stomach not frightened?"
"Luckily I'm off duty 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 beside her: "Mother was extremely worried, fearing that something might happen to you. Fortunately, my eldest brother comforted me and said that Lord Song must be with you now, and you will be fine, otherwise I would have wanted to come to find you just now."
Tang Yi smiled and took Qin Huiyin's pulse.
"Don't worry, mom. My sister and nephew are both fine."
"It has been thirty years since the capital city has seen a dragon rising from the ground," said the common people nearby. "Everyone is saying that it is because the current emperor is unpopular, and the heavens have sent down a punishment, foreshadowing that we will have a new wise ruler."
Qin Huiyin and everyone in the Tang family looked at each other.
The earth dragon's reversal had just happened, and rumors were already flying everywhere. It was obvious that this emperor was really unpopular, and everyone was 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 teams breaks into the capital, as long as we open the city gate, I believe no one will lose their lives."
"Don't say that again. No matter what, the two teams haven't attacked us yet. If you keep talking nonsense here, you may not live to see that day."
"When such a natural disaster happened, what did the government do? The first to respond were the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice. These two government offices sent people to rescue the people first. Do you think this is reasonable?"
"Lord Jiang from the Military Affairs Department is quite good. He reacted quickly and brought people from the Military Affairs Department 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. As long as we were wronged, he would definitely bring people to seek justice and would never look down on us just because we were small people."
"Yes, the Military Department is indeed conscientious. If the rebel army breaks into the capital, we must speak for the Military Department and Lord Song and never let the rebels hurt 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 dragon turned over, and many people were buried. My husband got the token from the emperor, and officials from all places have to be mobilized by him. 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 area to rest for a while.
Qin Huiyin and the Tang family are both protected by many people, and no one would be so blind as to offend them.
"Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Song..." The noble ladies also came.
“What are you doing…”
"My husband said that he didn't know if there would be an underground dragon tonight, so he asked us to stay in a spacious place. He also said that even Madam Tang and Madam Song are here, so this area should be relatively safe, and it's always right to hide with you."
Qin Huiyin also saw Gong Qianyue. But now Gong Qianyue 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 welcomed by the Zhu family, and the Gong family has also severed ties with her."
Qin Huiyin understood.
Zhu Hongxiu became a concubine, and the Zhu family became more powerful. Gong Qianyue had helped the eldest princess before, so of course she lost her value. Gong Qianyue showed weakness, and also wanted to protect herself. As long as she didn't fight or compete, the Zhu family would treat her as a decoration and let her stay in her own little world in peace.
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 looked at Zhu Jingxuan with a smile, holding a silver needle in his hand and threatening him.
This kid is so bold that he even dares to look at his second sister. Everyone in the capital doesn't know that his brother-in-law is a wife-protecting maniac. If you dare to offend his second sister, you will lose your hands and feet at best, or even your life at worst.
It was an uneasy night. 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 public 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 busy rescuing people.
Some people cried so loudly that the sky shook.
After all, not everyone is so lucky.
There are also people whose families have no casualties, but they have worked so hard to earn money and have just bought a shop or a new house. Now the earth suddenly collapses overnight and all their property is gone. That is very desperate.
Song Ruize came to pick up Qin Huiyin early the next morning with steamed buns, soy milk and other breakfast.
"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 eat something first. Also, you may 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."
"good."
"Husband, you and brother must be careful too." Qin Huiyin said, 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 earth to save people, he dug out a stone tablet. On the stone tablet were written words like "the king of a fallen country". The general meaning was that the current emperor was unkind and unmerciful, not tolerated by heaven, and the country's fortune was gone.
"This matter has spread. The man 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, will he kill everyone? I think the stone tablet is real. He has not done anything practical since he took office. Those he favored are all treacherous ministers. He only knows how to enjoy himself and does nothing else."
Tang Yi smiled and came over to ask 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 if you say it out loud, be careful not to be heard by others.
Whether it's the eldest brother or the husband, there's no problem in taking 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.
