Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Even if he gets closer to Gu Shi again, it is impossible for Yinfeng to tell Gu Shi what is on his mind, so he pulled his lips and smiled: "I don't have anything on my mind to talk about. The nanny has been busy all day, so I will go to rest now." Alright."

Before Gu Shi could speak, he suddenly felt a shaking under his feet, and the frequency of the shaking was getting bigger and bigger, and the ground seemed to be accompanied by rumbling thunder, Gu Shi suddenly panicked: "What's wrong?! "

Outside, eunuchs and court ladies who were equally panicked came in and shouted, "The ground is shaking! The ground is moving!"

With this cry, Gu's face suddenly changed, his face was pale, and he didn't care about his dignity at the moment, he stepped forward to pick up Yinfeng and ran out: "Don't be surprised, prince! This slave will take prince to an open and safe place!"

Yinfeng was still in a daze and stunned, an earthquake?Earthquake in Gyeonggi area?Is it like the Tangshan earthquake?

He has always lived on the plains and has never experienced an earthquake. The only time he experienced an earthquake in a neighboring province was that the city where he lived felt a weak tremor.But that happened when he was in college. He was in class at the time. He remembered very clearly that the fluorescent lamps and desks in the whole classroom were shaking. The teacher who had no common sense in life actually told everyone not to move and to sit still.

Under the shock at that time, no one really moved.A female classmate sitting in the back row shouted, "Why are you still sitting there, run!" Everyone just woke up like a dream, and all ran to the playground behind the teaching building.It was only when he sat cross-legged on the playground and felt the faint shock that he tasted a little taste of the afterlife.At that time, his mobile phone had no signal, and he never forgot the fear of not being able to contact anyone and not knowing whether his family members were safe.

After Mrs. Gu carried him out, he saw a commotion in Yuqing Palace, everyone was running for their lives, and things kept falling from the shelves in the house, but because Yuqing Palace was newly built, it was firmly built. Very, amid such violent shaking, the beams of Yuqing Palace did not intend to loosen and collapse.

But the palaces next to Yuqing Palace are not so strong. Those are all palaces from the Ming Dynasty, not all of them have been repaired. Under the earthquake at this moment, Yinfeng can hear the sound of palaces collapsing continuously .

Yinfeng glanced over the fleeing eunuchs and maids, and suddenly tightly grasped the hand on Gu's shoulder, and said loudly: "Take me to Ningshou Palace!"

Although the Ningshou Palace has been renovated, it is much stronger than those old palaces, but one cannot stay in the palace all the time during the earthquake, he must see the Empress Dowager Renxian escape with his own eyes to be at ease.Besides, Ningshou Palace is not far from his Yuqing Palace, just go left at Chonglou and walk through Huangji Gate.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu refused to take him there, and she still refused to stop when she reached Chonglou, she didn't stop until she passed the Jianting Pavilion and reached a very wide place, after she put him down, she still held onto his hand tightly for fear that he would run away The servant said: "The prince's words, the servant will always obey! But at this very moment, the servant can't listen to the prince! The servant knows that the prince is worried about the queen mother, but the queen has someone to take care of her. At this time, the servant can only protect the prince. One person, even if you risk your slave's life, the slave must protect the prince well, and will never let the prince go into danger!"

Gu's hand strength is very strong, probably she was also frightened, so she was a little out of control. She grabbed Yinreng's arm, and her fingers were almost pinched into Yinreng's flesh. Being pinched by Gu again, he pretended to be calm, looking at the eunuchs and maids in Yuqing Palace who were gradually running towards him, his voice was a little erratic: "Are we going to keep going?" wait here?"

Although he has never experienced an earthquake, he also knows that it is safest to stay in an open place during an earthquake.But being in the epicenter, feeling the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, he realized how helpless and frightened that feeling of powerlessness was. He couldn't do anything, he couldn't do anything.Because Mrs. Gu is right, if he is desperate to go to Ningshou Palace at this time, he is likely to be hit or suppressed by the gate tower that will collapse at some point along the way. Maybe he will not meet the Queen Mother Renxian before If Gu's life is lost, it is very likely that he will also lose his own life.

Gu wiped off the sweat from his face, stared at Yinfeng and said, "Yes, Prince. We can only wait here."

It was midnight, and there were not many lights everywhere. When the earthquake came, the lights were all extinguished.Although the sound of collapse and howling was heard everywhere, no one could be seen at all.All that could be seen was the fleeing crowd running back and forth in the Forbidden City for their lives.

There are no mobile phones in this era, and he can't contact anyone.Yinreng was protected in Gu's arms, looked at the disheveled maids and eunuchs around him, silently calculated in his heart, only half of the people in Yuqing Palace fled here with him.The remaining half don't know whether they are alive or dead.

Gu Shi has not allowed him to leave her sight, the earthquake has been continuing, and there are more and more people around them, but it is too dark, and Yinfeng can't tell who is who.In the hot weather, he was actually very hot and uncomfortable being held in Gu's arms, but he didn't dare to move, because if he moved, Gu would hug him tighter nervously, and his body would tremble violently. In order to appease Gu's emotions, he could only stay quietly in her arms.

They waited from dark to dawn, and when Yinfeng was tired, hungry and thirsty, the tremors disappeared.After waiting for a while, the earthquake seemed to have stopped.

Gu slowly let go of him, raised her eyes to look at Dongfang, she calculated silently, then turned to look at Yinfeng and said: "Prince, it should be Chenshi."

At this moment, the sky is bright and the earthquake has stopped, but everything around it has become horrible due to the earthquake. Yinfeng couldn't bear to look at it carefully, but when he was about to get up, Gu Shi pressed his shoulders, and she assigned two other people to follow along The nurse took care of Yinreng, and then said to Yinreng: "Prince, although the earthquake has stopped, I don't know when it will resume. It is not suitable for the prince to move, you should wait here. The servant sent someone to Yuqing Palace to fetch All the necessary items are here, and I can only rest here for a few days. The servant knows that the crown prince cares about the empress dowager, and when the servant settles everything, he will personally go to Ningshou Palace to inquire, the prince can rest assured."

Yinfeng opened his mouth, but swallowed what he wanted to say. He looked at his short arms and legs, then raised his eyes and nodded to Mrs. Gu: "Go. Be careful on the road. If there is another shock, It’s important to save your own life first.”

Gu Shi nodded, took a deep look at Yinfeng, and left with tears in her eyes.

Yinfeng lowered his eyes, although Gu Shi is a woman, she is an adult after all.She is capable of self-defense.He can't go with her, that's just to add to the chaos, not to be a helper.In fact, he hated the feeling of powerlessness.Let him feel that he is small and weak like a burden.

Gu's treatment of him can be said to be very considerate and caring.Gu Shi often reminds him of his mother, she takes care of him personally, does everything a mother should do, but calls herself a slave in front of others, even when she is queen, Gu Shi is also very careful to be a slave This made him unable to treat Gu Shi as a mother, but felt that he could not do without her. His feelings for Gu Shi were more like dependence on a nanny, but he could not put his thoughts on his mother in his heart. on her.

Gu's bravery and patience at this time made him think of his mother again.When he was a child and teenager, his mother, like Gu, took on everything, protected him and supported his growth, and sheltered him from rain, snow, wind and frost.But they didn't know that when he watched them give so much, he hated that he was not strong enough to protect them from the wind and rain.

Gu's sacrificed for him like this, but he couldn't help anything, making him feel that he was completely useless.He firmly believes that the spirit can control the body/body, and he has the ability to overcome any difficulties, but in the face of disaster, he, a child who is not yet seven years old and can't even be called a man, can only be protected by others.

This feeling really made him unwilling!He wants to grow up, he needs to grow up!

I don't know how long it took, all the eunuchs and maids assigned by the Gu family to fetch things from Yuqing Palace came back, but she was still missing.According to the eunuchs and maids who returned to Yuqing Palace, the interior of Yuqing Palace is not bad, the overall framework is still there, but the house is a mess, but no loss of life was caused.At least no dead people were found in Yuqing Palace.

When Yinreng heard this, he was somewhat relieved, that is to say, all the maids and eunuchs in Yuqing Palace escaped, but it is unknown whether they will live or die after they escape.With the current chaos in the imperial city, I am afraid that the exact number of casualties will not be known until some time later.

Yinfeng can't wander around, and those court ladies and eunuchs only dare to walk back to Yuqing Palace, and dare not go anywhere else, so no one knows what the current situation in the Forbidden City is.

There was a little maid who served Yinreng, about ten years old, her sisters served Yinreng together, the elder sister was named Saqin, and the younger sister was named Shimo.Seeing that the two sisters were clever, Yinreng changed their original names and gave them these two names.

Saoqin didn't follow Yinreng, but his only younger sister Shimo escaped with him.

This waiter Mo is very timid. Hearing the discussions of the surrounding maids and their reply to Yinfeng, she was worried about her sister's accident. Seeing Yinfeng sitting in the tent, she secretly got out of the tent and hid alone. Wept secretly outside.

When she cried, it was as if someone had opened the sluice to release the water, and all the infected maids cried, their nerves were tense and they had nowhere to vent, when Shi Mo cried, they remembered that they still had this This function can vent fear.

Sitting alone in the tent, Yinreng could hear the girls crying outside, and felt a headache. Some eunuchs saw that these people were crying inappropriately, so they could only persuade them in a low voice to stop crying. Knowing that these people would not listen to the eunuchs, they wept even louder.

Yinfeng frowned and held back for a while, finally he lifted the curtain of the tent and came out, glaring at the girls and said: "Why are you crying! You are not dead, you have no missing arms or short legs, why are you howling!"

Girls are too delicate after all, and cry a lot when encountering little things.

The crying stopped abruptly, the maids were obviously frightened by Yinreng's yelling, they suddenly woke up, the prince is here in good condition, if they continue to cry, it will be mourning for the master.There was only an earthquake in the imperial city, but as long as they are still alive, the rules and etiquette will still exist. If the emperor finds out about this, they will all be punished.

The roots of his ears were quiet, Yinreng turned around and wanted to enter the tent, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes, as if he saw a figure flashing by, he looked up, and saw Gu Shi and Saoqin rushing towards from the palace road in the distance.
