Chapter 444: Collapse

When he saw from a distance that Yin Zhen was a little dirty except for the royal blue dragon robe on his body, it didn't look serious, Ling Ruo's heart hanging in mid-air finally let go of most of it, and he forcibly held back the tears in his eyes and stepped forward to salute.

Yin Zhen silently helped her up, through the not too thick clothes, she could clearly feel her body trembling, Yin Zhen knew that she must be so nervous because she was worried about herself, and she would come to this Fengxian Palace, her heart was slightly moved, and she patted her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I have nothing to do." But how did you know I was here? ”

Ling Ruo was just about to answer, but when he looked down, he saw the wound on Yinzhen's hand that had solidified, and said forgively: "The emperor is injured?" ”

"It's just a small injury, it can't get in the way." Yin Zhen said a word indifferently, his eyes always looked at the ruined Fengxian Palace, anxious and uneasy.

Ling Ruo didn't know what he wanted, and comforted him at the moment: "Your Majesty, don't worry, they will soon put up the ancestor's tablet, and it will be fine." Saying so, she called a palace maid and ordered her to go to a basin of water to wash Yinzhen's wound carefully, which was a small wound and no longer bleed, but when she came over just now, she encountered an earthquake, and the person fell to the ground, and the wound was stained with a lot of dust and fine stones, if not washed, it was easy to contaminate the wound, and then bandaged it carefully with a handkerchief, so that the wound would not be polluted again.

When she did all this, Yinzhen seemed a little absent-minded, only staring closely at the excavation of a palace person, at this time, the inner guards were also ordered to come over and help dig up the waste bricks and tiles together, but this huge Fengxian Palace, once it collapsed, it was not easy to dig up, and it was only a small corner of the busy work for half a day; Li Dequan knew that Yinzhen was anxious about the tablet of Empress Xiaoyiren, so he also helped dig it up, but he remembered the location of those tablets and let people dig them all the way according to that direction.

"Your Majesty!" From this time, Sixi Xingse hurriedly walked over, and looked solemn to Yinzhen to report the situation of the palaces and courtyards, although he had already prepared, but when he really heard the damage and casualties, his heart sank.

In the second earthquake, the three major halls and the east and west twelve palaces are damaged by different procedures, especially the Baohe Palace, the Qianqing Palace, the Cining Palace, and the Kunning Palace are the most serious, a total of 31 palaces were destroyed, the specific number of casualties is still unknown, it takes time to count, and the number of people will not be small.

Baohe Palace, Qianqing Palace, now at this time, there is no one inside, but Cining, Kunning two palaces are different, Wu Ya and Nala are inside, Yin Zhen hurriedly asked how the situation is, fortunately, Sixi said that the queen was just frightened, and the queen was accidentally injured by the falling glazed tile, and now the imperial doctor has gone over to see.

"Your Majesty!" Li Dequan was pleasantly surprised and ran to Yinzhen excitedly holding a jet-black tablet, "Your Majesty, look, Empress Xiaoyiren's tablet has been dug up, and it is good, not bad at all." ”

Li Dequan knew that after the collapse of the Fengxian Palace, Yinzhen cared most about Empress Xiaoyiren, and the nine-year nurturing grace made Yinzhen remember it until now, even more mother-son than the current Queen Mother.

"E-niang!" Yin Zhen took the tablet of Empress Xiao Yiren from his hand, his heart was agitated, and his hand gently stroked the line of words engraved on the tablet, fortunately...... Fortunately, E-Niang is safe and sound, otherwise he would have disturbed E-Niang's spirit in the sky, and he would not be at ease in his life.

"Your Majesty, if you want to dig out all the tablets of your ancestors, it will take a while, so you should go back to the Heart Cultivation Hall to rest first." Li Dequan persuaded, and when Shicai Sixi replied, he said that the damage to the Heart Cultivation Hall was not large, and it was still acceptable.

"No." When Ling Ruo heard this, he immediately stopped: "Now that the source of the earthquake is unknown, I don't know if there will be an earthquake in the future, the emperor is returning to the Heart Cultivation Hall at this moment, in case of another earthquake, wouldn't it be dangerous?" ”

Yin Zhen agreed with her words, but this palace can't live, what should I do, and after thinking about it, I temporarily built a felt shed in front of the Heart Cultivation Hall for rest, and such a felt shed can't hurt anyone even if it was knocked down.

As for the other palaces and courtyards, those who are too seriously damaged to live in the palace, or who are unwilling to live in the palace for fear of another earthquake, are to live in temporary felt sheds, and the matter is to be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be prepared immediately without delay.

For a while, large and small felt sheds appeared in the palace, which was the first time in the Forbidden City, but this was also a way to do it.

The Forbidden City, with its fine workmanship and solid quality, is already like this, but what about the rest of the capital? And the Forbidden City is not even the epicenter, it is only affected, otherwise it is impossible to just collapse a few houses.

Every time he thinks of this, Yinzhen's mood is extremely heavy, but no matter how anxious he is, he can only wait, waiting for the report to come up, and at this time the twilight is already very deep, and several crows are circling and flying over the palace, making a "quack" chirping sound.

As a rule, the palace gate is not allowed to be opened after it is locked at night, but Yinzhen remembered the earthquake disaster, and specially told Li Dequan to order the guards that if someone asks for an earthquake outside the palace gate, open the palace door immediately without delay.

This night's Forbidden City was chaotic, shouts for help could be heard everywhere, and all those who could be used were sent to dig up the people buried underneath, Ling Ruo accompanied Yinzhen to hurriedly have a few mouthfuls of dinner and then moved to Cining Palace to ask Wu Yashi for peace, for fear of another earthquake, Wu Yashi also lived in the felt shed, she was not injured, but was frightened like this, and her already weak body became more and more unbearable.

Although Yinzhen was worried, he couldn't, so he could only ask the palace people to take care of him, and immediately report to him if something was wrong, and then went to Kunning Palace, which is more serious than Cining Palace, the east and west side halls, side halls, and ear rooms all collapsed, and the main hall also collapsed half, in this case, Nala just smashed the instep, which is really a great luck in misfortune.

Nala's foot injury has been seen by the doctor, it is not serious, and there is nothing wrong with dressing and dressing, but it is not suitable to walk more in recent days, and it is better to recuperate.

When she came out of Kunning Palace, she happened to meet Nian's family, she was in charge of the assistant harem, and now that there was such a big mess in the palace, she naturally had no responsibility, unlike the Nala clan who could shirk it if she injured her foot. Since the earthquake, Nian has been traveling from palace to court, inspecting the damage and casualties, and doing his best to send people to dig up those buried underneath.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Yinzhen, Nian's eyes suddenly turned red, and he carefully explained the current situation in the harem. Today's earthquake is really unexpected, especially the second time, there are a lot of casualties, Yikun Palace also has a lot of palace people who have been pressed below and have not been rescued, what's more, Ning Guiren is where the Xue Xuan is burning, the earthquake is burning charcoal for heating, this earthquake will be the snow Xuan to the earthquake of the tile wood cracked, the fallen beams smashed into the charcoal basin to attract Jingren Palace water. Although the person was rescued, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying.
