When he saw Yinzhen from a distance, except that the sapphire blue dragon robe on his body was a little dirty, he looked fine, Ling Ruo's heart hanging in the air finally let go, and she suppressed the tears in her eyes.
Salute before you.
Yinzhen helped her up silently. He could clearly feel her body shaking through the clothes that were not too thick. Yinzhen knew that she must be so nervous because she was worried about him, and that she came to Fengxian Hall.
Xia was slightly moved, patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm fine. But how did you know I'm here?"
Just as Ling Ruo was about to answer, he lowered his head and saw the solidified wound on Yinzhen's hand, and said with relief, "The emperor is injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, it won't hinder anything." Yinzhen said nonchalantly, his eyes always looking at the ruins of Fengxian Hall, anxious and uneasy.
How could Ling Ruo not know what he was thinking, and immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, they will soon put up the ancestral tablets, and everything will be fine." With that said, she called a palace maid and ordered her to get a basin of water.
Come and wash Yinzhen's wounds carefully. This is
It was a small wound and it was no longer bleeding. However, there was an earthquake when I came here and I fell to the ground. The wound was stained with a lot of dust and fine stones. If it was not washed, it would easily contaminate the wound. I then bandaged it carefully with a handkerchief.
Good, so that the wound will not be contaminated again.
While she was doing all this, Yinzhen seemed a little absent-minded, only staring at the excavation of a group of palace people. At this time, the Ouchi guards were also ordered to come over to help dig out the waste bricks and tiles, but the huge Fengxian Hall
, how can it be so easy once it collapses?
After digging for a long time, he could only dig out a small corner; Li Dequan knew that Yinzhen was anxious about the tablets of Empress Xiao Yiren, so he also helped dig up the place. He remembered the positions of the tablets and asked people to look at them.
Dig all the way to that location.
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Sixi walked over in a hurry and reported to Yinzhen the situation of each palace and courtyard with a solemn look. Although he had been prepared, when he actually heard the damage and casualties, he still felt in his heart.
A sinking.
In the second earthquake, the three main palaces and the twelve east and west palaces were damaged in varying degrees. Among them, Baohe Palace, Qianqing Palace, Cining Palace, and Kunning Palace were the most serious. A total of 31 palaces were damaged.
The exact number of casualties is not yet clear. It will take time to calculate the number of casualties. It is believed that the number of casualties will not be small.
Baohe Hall and Qianqing Palace were fine. There was no one inside at this time, but the Cining and Kunning Palaces were different. The Wuya clan and the Nala clan were inside. Yinzhen hurriedly asked what the situation was. Fortunately, the four
Xi said that the Queen Mother was just frightened, and that the Queen's instep was accidentally hit by a falling glazed tile, and the imperial doctor had already gone over to take a look.
"Your Majesty!" Li Dequan excitedly ran to Yinzhen holding a black tablet with a face full of surprise. "Your Majesty, look, the tablet of Queen Xiao Yiren has been dug out. It's in good condition and not broken at all."
Li Dequan knew that after the collapse of the Fengxian Palace, what Yinzhen cared about most was Queen Xiao Yiren. The kindness of raising her for nine years made Yinzhen remember her even more deeply than the current empress dowager.
"Eniang!" Yinzhen took the tablet of Empress Xiao Yiren from him. He was so excited that he gently stroked the line of words engraved on the tablet with his hand. Fortunately...fortunately, Eniang was safe and sound, otherwise he would have disturbed Eniang.
In the spirit of heaven, he will never have peace of mind for the rest of his life.
"Your Majesty, if you want to dig out all the memorial tablets of your ancestors, it will take a long time. You should go back to the Yangxin Hall to rest first." Li Dequan advised. When Sixi replied, he said that the damage to the Yangxin Hall was not big.
Habitable.
"No." Ling Ruo heard the words and immediately stopped him: "The source of the earthquake is unknown now, and no one knows whether there will be another earthquake in the future. Your Majesty is returning to Yangxin Palace now. If there is another earthquake, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
Yinzhen quite agreed with her words, but the palace could not be lived in, so what should be done? Finally, after thinking about it, he temporarily built a felt tent in front of the Yangxin Hall for resting purposes. Even if such a felt tent was shaken
It can't hurt anyone.
As for the other palaces and courtyards, those that were too badly damaged to be inhabited, or those who were afraid of further earthquakes and were unwilling to live in the palace, all lived in temporary felt tents. The matter was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare immediately without delay.
Suddenly, large and small felt tents appeared in the palace, which was considered the first time in the Forbidden City, but there was no other way around it.
The Forbidden City, which has fine workmanship and solid quality, is already like this, but what about other parts of the capital? And the Forbidden City is not even the source of the earthquake, it is just affected, otherwise it would never be just a few houses collapsed.
Every time he thought of this, Yinzhen felt extremely heavy. However, no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait for the report to come out. At this time, the dusk was already very deep, and several crows were circling and flying over the palace, making "croaking, croaking" sounds.
"The sound of chirping.
As a rule, the palace door was not allowed to be opened after it was locked at night, but Yinzhen was concerned about the earthquake disaster and specifically told Li Dequan to order the guards to open the palace door immediately without delay if anyone asked about the earthquake outside the palace door.
The Forbidden City was in chaos that night, and cries for help could be heard everywhere. Anyone who could be used was sent to dig out the people buried underneath. Ling Ruo and Yinzhen ate a few supper in a hurry before moving to Ci
Ning Gong paid his respects to Wu Ya. For fear of another earthquake, Wu Ya also lived in a felt tent. She was not seriously injured, but being frightened like this made her already weak body even more unbearable.
Although Yinzhen was worried, he could do nothing. He could only ask the palace people to take good care of him and report anything to him immediately. Then he went to Kunning Palace. This place was even more serious than Cining Palace. There were east and west side halls, side halls, and ear rooms.
Everything collapsed, even half of the main hall collapsed. Under such circumstances, Nala only injured the instep of his foot, which was really a great blessing among misfortunes.
Nala's foot injury has been seen by the imperial doctor. It is not serious. It will be fine after applying medicine and bandaging. It is just that it is not suitable to walk much in the past few days and it is better to rest.
When I came out of Kunning Palace, I happened to meet the Nian family. She has the power to co-manage the harem. Now that there is such a big mess in the palace, she naturally takes responsibility for it, unlike Na La who can shirk it when he hurts his foot.
Since the earthquake, Nian has been traveling between palaces, inspecting the damage and casualties, and trying his best to dispatch manpower to dig out the people buried underneath.
"Your Majesty." Nian's eyes immediately turned red when he saw Yinzhen, and he carefully reported the current situation in the harem. Today's earthquake was really unexpected, especially the second one, which caused many casualties.
There are also many palace residents who were trapped underneath in Yikun Palace and have not yet been rescued.
What's more, Taxuexuan, where Ning Guiren lives, was burning charcoal to keep warm during the earthquake. The earthquake cracked the tiles and wood in Texuexuan, and the falling beams hit the charcoal basin, causing flooding in Jingren Palace.
.Although the man was rescued, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying.
