Chapter 55

Chen Jin was already dressed. Chu Xiuming came in and grabbed the cloak and pulled Chen Jin out, "Everything came out."

When Madam Zhao saw Chu Xiuming's appearance, she was shocked and hurriedly followed her. There were not many people in Yongning's Mansion, and they all came out soon. Standing in the garden of the main courtyard, Xiao Budian surrounded her when she saw Chen Jin, feeling very uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming with a confused look on his face.

Chu Xiuming tied the cloak to Chen Jin, then hugged the man in his arms and said, "I don't know." Although he said so, he was full of vigilance, even the guards, pressing his hands on the knife at his waist, surrounding Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin in the middle.

Time passed little by little, and the sky was getting dark, but there was no movement at all. Even so, no one relaxed his guard and became more and more vigilant.

Chen Jin stood beside Chu Xiuming, his legs and feet were a little sore, and he moved a little bit. An Ning protected Shen Jin's other side. Madam Zhao's face also showed a little fatigue. Chu Xiuming shook Chen Jin's hand comfortably.

The little Budian also calmed down, squatted beside Shen Jin, stood up suddenly, and the hair stood up but did not scream again. Everyone suddenly felt a shaking distance. Chu Xiuming hugged Chen Jin, pressed her head in his arms, and protected her carefully.

Chen Jin's face turned pale. He bit his lip and said nothing. He felt that he couldn't stand steadily. He held Chu Xiuming's waist tightly with both hands. Thanks to them being in the garden, they stopped soon, but Chen Jin felt weak under his feet, and his heart felt like he was pressed by something, which was particularly uncomfortable.

The vibration was only a moment, but it felt like it had been a long time. When the movement of the ground stopped, Madam Zhao and An Ping sat on the ground and said, "The movement of the ground..."

Chu Xiuming's eyes darkened. The earth was not in the capital, but he also felt so strong. In the west... he slowly breathed and said, "Don't go back to the house first, rest on the spot."

"yes."

Chen Jin put his hand into Chu Xiuming's palm, let Chu Xiuming hold it before saying, "Where is it?"

"I don't know." Chu Xiuming whispered, "Don't worry."

"Yeah." Chen Jin pursed his lips. Although he said so, he still felt heavy in his heart. "Is there anything wrong with the border town?"

"No." Chu Xiuming said with certainty, "It involves that."

Chen Jin was very worried about Concubine Chen, but he didn't know if he would continue to move. He really couldn't say anything about letting Chu Xiuming send someone to the Rui Prince's Mansion. When Chu Xiuming suddenly said, "An Ning, you and Yue Wen go to the Rui Prince's Mansion."

"Husband..." Chen Jin looked up at Chu Xiuming.

Chu Xiuming touched her head. Yue Wen was one of the guards they brought. He was the most flexible. An Ninghui Kung Fu was also a maid. He could go to the backyard to see Concubine Chen with his own eyes. Chu Xiuming's considerations were comprehensive.

Yue Wen and An Ning responded, and An Ning comforted him, "Don't worry, madam."

Chen Jin bit his lip and said, "No need, it's in chaos now, I'm waiting for it later..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Xiuming stopped him. Chu Xiuming looked at Yue Wen and An Ning and said, "Let's go to the middle of the road and come back to tell me about the situation along the road, don't walk under the eaves."

"Husband!" Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming and said.

Chu Xiuming spoke, "The capital city was just affected. Even if there is still any movement, it won't be in trouble. Don't worry."

Yue Wen also said, "Madam, don't worry, we will go back."

After hearing Chu Xiuming's explanation, Chen Jin nodded and said, "Don't be too anxious, safety is the most important thing."

"Madam, don't worry." An Ning smiled and walked out with Yue Wen.

Chu Xiuming spoke, "I'm afraid that your Majesty will send someone to summon me into the palace in a while."

Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming and said, "Be careful."

Madam Zhao said, "Does the general need to change his clothes?"

Chu Xiuming nodded, "Wait a little longer."

As Chu Xiuming said, he felt the earth move several times next, but it was not as obvious as the first time. The palace sent someone to Xuan Chu Xiuming into the palace. After Chu Xiuming received the order, he had to go in and change his clothes, but did not let Chen Jin and the others go in together. He just said, "In another two hours, I will be sure that it's okay to go in again."

Chen Jin took the initiative to hold Chu Xiuming's hand and said, "Husband, I will serve you to change your clothes." He also took the initiative to pull Chu Xiuming into the house.

Madam Zhao also said, "The old slave helps the wife."

"I can do it myself." Chen Jin shook his head and rejected Madam Zhao. She knew in her heart that Chu Xiuming would not let them go back to the house because she was afraid that there would be any danger in the earthquake. Even if the earthquake occurred in the capital, no one could guarantee that there would be no accident.

Chu Xiuming glanced at Chen Jin and finally said, "Madam, please stay." Then he followed Chen Jin's force and walked into the house. His wife was so stupid, what would she do if she left him?

"Are you afraid?" Chu Xiuming asked.

"I'm not afraid." Chen Jin said, "Didn't your husband say it's okay?"

Chu Xiuming looked at Chen Jin, bent down and kissed her eyebrows, "Yeah." After changing her inner clothes, Chu Xiuming held the clothes with one hand and took Chen Jin with the other hand.

When he got outside, he saw Mama Zhao and Anping and others guarding not far away. When he saw Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin coming out, he was relieved. Anping stepped forward to take the clothes from Chu Xiuming. Several people returned to the open place and waited for Chu Xiuming to change into his official uniform. Chu Xiuming bent down and said a few words in Shen Jin's ear, and then he left with the people from the palace.

Madam Zhao said, "Madam, sit down and rest."

Chen Jin said, "Everyone will take a break."

After Chen Jin sat on the stone chair, everyone scattered around her and sat down. Xiao Budian lay leisurely at Shen Jin's feet. Chen Jin said, "Cook a few bones with a lot of meat for Xiao Budian later."

"Yes." Madam Zhao said, "Madam, don't worry too much."

Chen Jin responded, looked at Xiaobudian's appearance and said, "I'm afraid it's really okay, Xiaobudian won't make trouble."

Madam Zhao said, "Little one is such a good dog."

Before Yue Wen and An Ning came back, Chu Xiuming left again. Chen Jin always felt a little heavy, a little impatient and indescribable. He took a deep breath and slowly vomited it out. After a few times, he felt better.

Madam Zhao was particularly worried and lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Madam, I'll go to another courtyard to have a look."

"Don't go." Chen Jin grabbed Madam Zhao's hand and said, "Everyone is here, and there are dead things elsewhere, and there are no obstacles."

A guard said, "Madam, I'll go to the kitchen to get some food."

Chen Jin smiled when he heard this and asked, "Are you hungry?"

The guard knew that if it was for his wife, he would be afraid that the wife would not let them take risks, so he said, "Yes."

The others also said, "Yes, Madam hasn't moved again for so long. Let's get something out."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Be hungry."

The guards looked at Chen Jin in amazement. Why did they think differently?

Madam Zhao smiled instead. After being fussed, the atmosphere eased a lot. Without the depression and tension just now, Chen Jin took out a purse and handed it to the guard who said he was taking food and said, "Eat."

The guard blushed and said, "Madam...I'm not hungry..."

"Ah, you can eat it separately." Chen Jin took it from the table while accompanying Chu Xiuming to change his clothes. There were not much sugar and jerky inside. It was prepared by Ma Ma Zhao, so she was afraid that Chen Jin would be boring today and would give Chen Jin a meal and fun.

When Yue Wen and An Ning rushed back, Chen Jin and the others were about to go back to the house. Seeing that the two of them had nothing but some dust on their bodies, Chen Jin then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go into the house together."

Many things in the house were tilted. Everyone first cleaned up all the fallen ones. After roughly tidying up Chen Jin, they asked them to go back to pack their own things. The remaining detailed An Ning and Anping could clean up slowly. An Ning said, "Madam, everything is fine in the Rui Prince's Mansion. A servant accidentally broke his leg in a panic and asked the doctor to pick it up. Concubine Chen and Princess Rui were together. King Rui had already entered the palace. I looked at Concubine Chen's face. They were all resting in the yard. When I came back, they had not returned to the house. The princess told me to bring a message to the wife, saying that you had just returned to the capital, and I was afraid there were many inconveniences. If there was a shortage in the mansion, I would send a message to Princess Rui's Mansion."

"That's good." Chen Jin said with relief, "What about the people in the capital?"

An Ning said the general situation, "It's not a mess. The government has sent people to maintain order. I saw along the way that some people were injured, not serious."

When the earth was moving, the sky was already slightly bright, and many people were getting up. This was a blessing in disguise.

Chen Jin nodded, Madam Zhao poured water for Chen Jin and said, "Madam, use it slowly, the water is a little cold."

"I know." Chen Jin held the cup and drank water in a small sip. "You all sit and rest, don't be busy for now, and then do it after the rest is over."

"yes."

Chen Jin opened his mouth, "Pour water to drink it yourself."

Anping said, "I will go to the kitchen and take a look."

"I told the kitchen that I didn't have to cook for me alone, just make a big pot of rice, and everyone should use it together." Chen Jin ordered.

Madam Zhao looked at Chen Jin's face and asked, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Jin moved his lips and said, "I was a little choking."

Madam Zhao said, "There are also candied fruits in the house. The old slave brings them to the wife."

Chen Jin nodded and leaned against the cushion. Madam Zhao quickly found the thing. Chen Jin chose a candied green plum in her mouth and put it in her mouth, "You can eat it too."

Madam Zhao looked at Chen Jin with some concern and said, "Madam, please feel free, you will be fine."

Chen Jin responded, An Ning took the quilt and covered Shen Jin's leg and said, "Madam, do you want to sleep for a while?"

"No." Chen Jin lowered his eyes slightly, "I'll talk about it after I've finished eating."

"yes."

Emperor Cheng of the Imperial Study Room smashed the cup to the ground, "What else can you do besides arguing! Keep making noise!"

Everyone knelt down and said respectfully, "His Majesty, calm down."

"I also want to calm down. How did the Imperial Heaven Supervision do it..." Emperor Cheng gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Prime Minister Chen said, "Your Majesty, what's going on now is to send someone to deal with the aftermath."

Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice, "I asked you to come here to handle the matter. What are you doing?"

A censor said, "In addition to disaster relief, your Majesty will issue an edict for guilt as soon as possible."

Emperor Cheng's expression changed, he sat on the dragon throne without saying anything, and after a long time, he asked, "What is my crime? This is a natural disaster!"

"This is God's warning." An old minister said.

Prime Minister Chen turned his eyes and glanced at King Rui. He had already thought about it. Emperor Cheng was full of unwillingness. He had a ghost in his heart and wanted to prove his wiseness more and more. Such a self-criticism was recorded on the case and later generations saw it...

"Get up." Emperor Cheng took a sip of the tea that the eunuch brought.

Everyone then stood up and went back to the side, highlighting Prime Minister Chen, who was kneeling but not getting up. Emperor Cheng saw Prime Minister Chen and asked, "Do you have something to say?"
