Chapter 7 Chengdu Earthquake (1)
On the crimson Xue Tao note, there are a few lines of juanxiu font:
Sister Rui'er, Ziyi and her two brothers will leave Shuchuan in the near future and return to the Central Plains. I don't know how my sister is doing, my little sister is very worried! Since that day, Meishan Liquor Store said goodbye to his sister, and the second brother has been borrowing wine to drown his sorrows. The eldest brother didn't persuade either, and he was all angry because of his temperament. My second brother has never been good at words, but I know that he has a deep affection for his sister and refuses to say it. The eldest brother has always been interested in joining the army, and now the second brother is determined to join the army with the eldest brother after sobering up. Thinking about it, the second brother and sister have no fate, and Ziyi can only sigh and regret. Is my sister's lover okay with my sister? The two brothers of the purple cloth generation wish their sister a good relationship and a happy life! Fu Ziyi.
Holding the letterhead, his heart tightened. This is actually the letter left by Ziyi, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin when they left Shu that day.
Originally, I only said that my encounter with Zhao Kuangyin was just a trivial episode, but now I have become the lady of the flower in the palace of the Great Shu Kingdom, and he has gone to the army.
Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong, Guo Wei, Fu Ziyi, these familiar and unfamiliar historical names are dangling in front of my eyes.
Alas...... Is this the predestined cause?
Qingcheng's acquaintance, chance encounter with Emei's travel, will it become the cause of his soldiers' harm?
No, no, no......
I shook my head in disbelief, I am just a speck of dust in this troubled world, how can I have that earth-shaking power.
The fear that can overflow from the bottom of my heart has screwed all the five organs together......
The letterhead slipped from my fingertips, and I suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Sister! Sister, what's wrong with you? Ming'er held me up, bowed down and picked up the letterhead and handed it to Xinning.
Xin Ning came to take a closer look, frowned at me for a long time, and after making eye contact with me, he seemed to be puzzled and uneasy, and got up and burned the letter, and in an instant there were only fine ashes and a few wisps of green smoke left in front of him.
Xin Ning sat down next to me, clasped my hand, and said softly: "That Yuelai Inn is the property of the Ling family, and the day before yesterday, I happened to inspect the store and saw Uncle Zhong sorting out the letters left by the guests. I flipped it over but saw that my sister was in the boudoir, so I quietly brought it back without thinking about it. My sister can know that the palace is sinister and unfathomable, and if this letter falls into the hands of someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will be a bane that will put my sister in danger in the future. ”
"What about tea?"
"The letter is only put in a tea box to hide people's eyes, and it is not easy for people to find out when it is given to you. I wanted to keep the letter in the room, but I was worried that there would be too many people in the house and I would not pay attention to something wrong for a while. After all, the matter of 'Fei Ruier' mentioned in the letter ...... "Sister Xinning is really a delicate person, and she has thought about me before and after."
I was secretly shocked in my heart, I never thought that no one in the palace of my entry into the Xu Mansion knew about it except for the Queen Mother, Zhiqiu and Su Jin, and it was indeed as worried as Xinning......
In front of me, Xinning was worried about my safety, but I didn't know that what I was worried about was the entanglement between Zhao Kuangyin and Houshu in history, and I was even more worried about the root cause that might have been planted unintentionally......
Through the ashes and green smoke in front of me, I seem to see the fate of me and Xishu, and history is really following its own trajectory? And what role did I play?
There was a loud bang, everything around him began to shake violently, and the "Ping Pong" purple sand tea set fell to the ground, followed by the wooden table under the west window, and the classics on the bookshelf on his side also flew out...... The sudden sound and tremor woke me from my meditation, and the whole room trembled......
Ming'er screamed to protect me, and I understood in an instant that there was an earthquake.
"Sister, run." Xinning yelled and pushed me.
"No." I quickly looked around, picked up Ming'er and ran to the bed, and asked the two of them to lie on the ground as I did on the side of the hanger, and then asked them to curl up to protect their heads and their backs to be solid. I didn't expect that the modern emergency self-rescue trick was actually used in ancient times.
The house was still shaking, and from time to time sand and gravel fell, I reached out and pulled the quilt and pressed it on Xinning, and said urgently: "Sister, are you okay?" ”
"Fortunately, my sister is thoughtful herself." Saying that, she pulled the quilt on her body to cover me, Ming'er didn't care about herself, half of her body protected me, and the sky shook for a while, and I could only hear a strange buzzing sound from the ground in my ears.
I don't know how long it took, the house gradually quieted down, and there was a lot of noise outside the courtyard, and someone pushed the door into the house and called in a trembling voice: "Madam! Lady Blossom! When I looked up, I saw that Grandpa Zeng, who was out of the palace with me, trembled and looked around.
"is here!" Ming'er made a sound, moved her body but couldn't get up.
At a glance, Fang knew that the fallen hanger was just on the bed, and the triangular gap formed just trapped the three of me inside, I hugged Xinning, Ming'er protected me, half of my body was pressed by the hanger, thinking that the tiles that fell from the roof fell on the hanger, so the three of me were trapped to death.
There was a lot of noise in my ears, and I thought there were a lot of people pouring into the house.
After a while, my body was light, and when I saw that Ming'er had been helped out, my father-in-law Zeng came to help me while wiping his tears, and kept saying: "Niangniang, what do you think is wrong?" Amitabha, if you have any mistakes, old slave, how can you afford the old slave's life. ”
I got up, moved my limbs slightly, and seemed to be fine, and hurriedly instructed everyone: "Help Young Lady Ling out first, I'm afraid that there will be aftershocks in a while." ”
When he got out of the spacious part of the courtyard, he saw that the rubble of the Ling Mansion had fallen to the ground, and the houses were also a mess.
Master Ling stepped forward to confess, Ling Xuan also looked at the pulse, I hung Xinning and only asked him to take care of Xinning first, Ling Xuan took the pulse for her and breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to me: "Tuo Niang Niang Hongfu, mother and son are safe." That's when I was relieved.
Yikes! Meng Lang! Thinking of Bao Yuan, I was worried again, I wonder if he is safe in the palace? I told Xinning to rest, and I told everyone to prevent aftershocks, so I picked up my skirt and ran out.
"Sister! Sister! Ming'er caught up, grabbed me, and said hurriedly: "Sister, don't panic, the palace hall is indestructible, and the emperor will be safe!" ”
"Yes, sis! The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he is blessed by the gods......" Grandpa Zeng then rushed to respond.
"Hugh said those lies, don't hurry up and prepare a horse for me!" I was anxious and didn't feel like I was screaming at him.
"Yes! Be! The old slave will go. Grandpa Zeng wiped his sweat and hurriedly ran out.
Where can I wait for him to lead the horse, three steps and two steps to the gate of the house, out of the Lingfu did not see the horse, was about to attack, but in the distance I heard the sound of the horse neighing accompanied by the sound of anxious horses' hooves in the distance.
"Sister, look, isn't that the emperor?" Ming'er whispered.
Bao Yuan rode his horse in a Ming and Huang Dynasty suit, and when the horse approached, he saw him turn over and dismount, and hugged me into his arms, and his voice was his anxious gasp: "Rui'er, you're fine!" It's okay! When I heard this, I was moved, I tightened my waist again, tears welled up in my eyelashes, and I whispered in a dumb voice: "Meng Lang~~"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Breathing in the fragrance of his body, my heart steady.
"Long live my emperor, long live long live...... the sound of the mountain suddenly rose, and he stared at the people of the palace in front of the Ling Mansion kneeling on the ground.
Momentarily embarrassed, I broke free from his arms, bit my lip and said, "Look at you, you're disturbing the people again!" ”
Bao Yuan didn't care, shook my hand tightly, and said to everyone: "Let's get up." Everyone was frightened by today's earthquake, and families went back to take stock of their homes earlier. ”
I whispered to him about the aftershocks, and he summoned the close guard Xie Xingben and said, "Order the Chengdu Mansion to post a notice to prevent aftershocks." ”
Then Bao Yuan took me into the chariot and went to the palace.
"The queen mother, Xuan Zhe, how are they?" Seeing that he was down-to-earth, Fang asked about the situation in the palace.
"I have sent Tian Jingquan to take care of the palace, and I rushed here since I came out of the Mingde Palace, and I haven't had time to explore yet."
"Huh? Meng Lang, why don't you take care of the queen mother and the child first, in such a situation, how frightened and uneasy should they be, as well as the harem concubines...... Besides, if you go out of the palace and drive a horse, if you encounter aftershocks on the road, what kind of mishaps...... So, how does Rui'er deal with herself? Ay...... Meng Lang, you really shouldn't treat me like this. At this point, I was choked up and couldn't go on.
"Rui'er, don't cry, I am the Son of Heaven, and I have the protection of the heavens, and I will not get in the way. Moreover, the house in the palace is sturdy, and I am not afraid, so I ......" Bao Yuan stretched out his hand to wipe my tears and comforted me softly.
"Filial piety comes first, Meng Lang left his mother and the emperor out of the palace to find me, and passed it out, which is in the name of hurting the saints...... Rui'er begs you, no matter when and where in the future, if you are in an emergency, you can't think of me, and I hope you will take care of your mother and children first. "As he spoke, he was about to kneel.
"What is this?" Bao Yuan hugged me and said, "If you lose today, it is also my fault that you left me and left the palace alone." Wherever you go in the future, I will naturally be by my side, how can there be such a thing as caring for one or the other again. ”
"You ......" I still have to say, but I don't want Bao Yuan raised his eyebrows and sighed: "It turns out that my Rui'er is not a concubine but a concubine~!" He deliberately dragged out the last note, and then stared at me deeply: "It happened suddenly, where do you care a lot, at that time, I was only thinking about where you are, whether you are safe and sound...... You will not be allowed to leave my sight in the future, I don't like to be so frightened and helpless today. ”
stared blankly at the man in front of him, the thousand words in his chest turned into speechlessness, clenched his hands, and remembered his heart and his good in the bottom of his heart.
When I returned to the palace, I saw that the queen mother, the prince, the princess, and the concubines were all safe before I made up my mind.
The Queen Mother was a little frightened, took a soothing decoction, and rested in bed early.
I was careful that there were aftershocks at night, and insisted on staying in Qinghe Palace with Bao Yuan.
The next morning, there was an excerpt played: "The earthquake in Chengdu Mansion urged hundreds of people's houses." ”
Then Ling Fu brought a letter and said: Tomorrow will be a disaster relief.
I knew that it was Xinning's idea, and when Bao Yuan went to court, he allowed me to leave the palace.
Bao Yuan listened, pondered for a moment, and said: "Father Xiang is in charge of the household department, and I have handed over the disaster relief to the household department, and the Ministry of Industry is the assistant."
