Jiao Luan

Chapter 471 Earthquakes
When Han heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

This is all due to her daughter. She has used whitening talisman and skin rejuvenation talisman in turn, so there is no reason why she is not young.

But these things can't be said to the outside world, otherwise the ladies in the capital would still swallow her girls alive.

The queen mother couldn't help laughing when she saw Han's happy.

This Han Mingzhu is still as simple as that, because someone else's casual praise makes her happy.But it is this kind of temperament that will remain optimistic after years of neglect and study.

Xu said that the deep palace was too lonely and heavy, and the Queen Mother had some genuine liking for Han Shi, so she held her hand and said, "Mingzhu, follow me."

Han Shi followed the queen mother into a room, and couldn't help being stunned when she saw Queen Feng.

"Really?" Mrs. Han walked over quickly, hugged Empress Feng and cried, "I thought I would never see you again, er..."

Empress Feng blinked and recognized Mrs. Han, she smiled and said: "Mingzhu, why are you crying? Didn't you say that you are very happy to marry the person you like, and you can't wait to get married right away."

Empress Feng said, covering her mouth and laughing.

The whisper between handkerchiefs was said by Empress Feng in front of the Empress Dowager, causing Han to blush, glanced at the Empress Dowager hurriedly, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "Really, you—"

Han could not help but look at the Queen Mother.

The queen mother sighed: "The queen's illness has not been cured. It's just that the emperor graciously allowed the queen to live with Ai's family in the Palace of Compassion."

Han Shi followed with a sigh: "It was so good back then, why is it like this?"

In middle age, Han Shi became more and more at a loss.

If it is said that her marriage with Cheng Xiuwen was forced by her, and it was her own fault for such an ending, then what about the queen?
How did childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts end up like this in the end?
No, compared to her, the Queen's fate was even worse.

Han can't help but think of her eldest daughter Cheng Ya, and secretly thinks that the Tian family is ruthless, fortunately Wei Wei doesn't have to be manipulated in her marriage now, and will have nothing to do with this man-eating place in the future.

After watching Empress Feng, the Han family followed the queen mother to the living room.

The Empress Dowager was still depressed: "Mingzhu, do you still remember that back then you and Zhenqing were sisters, and Ai's family even joked that when you have children in the future, let them get married."

"Yes." Han said with a dry smile.

Ahem, if it weren't for the impermanence of the world, everyone would be happy if the real daughter married her. If the real son married her daughter, there is no need, she can no longer send her daughter into the fire pit!

The queen mother let out a long sigh: "Mingzhu, the Ai family really envies you. Now you have sons and daughters, but the queen—"

Mrs. Han hastily persuaded: "Queen Mother, don't be so sad, the queen is auspicious, and there will be future blessings."

Speaking of this, she laughed at herself: "Actually, I have nothing to envy. The two daughters lost one, and the heir now has his own family."

"Uh, Ai Jia remembered, your heir, I heard that he is not of the Cheng family's blood?"

Mrs. Han nodded: "Well, I picked it up from the river. Che'er Renxiao has been looking for her biological parents ever since she knew her parentage."

The Queen Mother sighed, "There are so many people here, it's not so easy to find relatives."

"Isn't that right? Che'er also said that she won't marry a daughter-in-law if she can't find her parents for a day. You don't know, Queen Mother. Whenever I think of this, I feel anxious."

What a filial child!

The Empress Dowager thought about it happily, and said, "This is impossible. If I can't find my parents, wouldn't I delay my lifelong event? By the way, the child doesn't have a birthmark or anything? As a clue, if Aijia asks the emperor to help, maybe he can find it quickly."

"Birthmark? I really don't know. Fortunately, the queen mother reminded me. When Che'er comes back, I will ask him."

The Empress Dowager hesitated for a while before asking: "Mother, don't you know if your son has a birthmark?"

Han's face was innocent: "Che'er was already eight or nine years old when he adopted her. Of course I didn't know."

The queen mother seemed to have been beaten with a sap, and she couldn't express her anger.

Cooperating in vain and laying the groundwork for a long time, Han Mingzhu, a silly elder sister, she shouldn't count on it.

After sending off the Han family, the Queen Mother immediately ordered Mother Qiao: "Go and ask the emperor to come over."

Not long after, Mother Qiao came back and reported: "Queen Mother, Eunuch Zhu said that the emperor is in a bad mood today, and he has been locked in the study since the next court. I thought I'd better come back and tell you first, so I didn't let Eunuch Zhu call." pass."

The Queen Mother's heart sank.

Last night, the emperor clearly said that he would give orders today and transferred Cheng Che back from the frontier battlefield. Why did he shut himself up in the room and see no one after he came down?
Too bad, could it be that he got the news that something happened to the child on the battlefield?
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager couldn't sit still any longer, she got up and said, "Go to Ai's house and have a look."

Zhu Hongxi stood at the door of the Imperial Study Room, and when he saw the Empress Dowager was coming, he hurriedly saluted and greeted her.

The empress dowager sank like water: "Tell the emperor that Ai's family is here."

Zhu Hongxi went in to communicate, and came out after a while: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty invites you to go in."

The Queen Mother motioned to Qiao Mama to wait at the door, and walked in.

Emperor Changqing lay back on the bench without saying a word, and stood up silently when he saw the Queen Mother.

"What's wrong with the emperor?" The queen mother was taken aback, walked over quickly and asked, "Could it be that something happened to that child?"

"Eh?" Emperor Changqing was startled, and it took him a while to realize, "You mean Cheng Che?"

"That's right, didn't the emperor say that he was ordered to be transferred back today?"

Emperor Changqing patted his forehead: "I forgot!"

Queen Mother...

Emperor Changqing didn't even care about his annoyance, and said in a deep voice, "Queen Mother, the Changgu Earthquake shook."

The Queen Mother was shocked.

At that time, people were in awe of all kinds of celestial phenomena. Earthquakes, locust plagues, etc. were bad omens. Once they happened, the elders and other ministers who held important powers would take the initiative to resign. What's more serious, the emperor would even issue an imperial edict. to appease the people.

"When did the earthquake occur, do you have statistics on casualties?"

Emperor Changqing shook his head: "The earthquake happened last night, and the news was rushed to the capital at [-] Li. The casualties have not been counted yet."

After Emperor Changqing finished speaking, the mother and son fell into a rare silence.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, arrange the rescue personnel and supplies first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Emperor Changqing raised his eyebrows: "I just think, why are there so many right and wrong this year?"

Emperor Changqing was not alone in having such doubts. Within two days after the news of the Changgu earthquake reached the capital, a rumor suddenly arose.

The reason why there have been constant wars and natural disasters and man-made disasters this year is because the prince is not of royal blood, Daliang is in danger of losing the imperial power, and the heavens have repeatedly warned.

When people are in panic, rumors always have a more suitable soil for spreading. The prince soon learned of this and punched the carved dragon pillar in annoyance.
