Chapter 106 Earth Dragon Turns Over 2
Chapter 106 Earth Dragon Turns Over 2
"Today is my birthday, can't you stay with me a little longer?"
After Mu Qingchen finished speaking, he realized how could he have said such words.
Perhaps it was because Qiao Shinian pulled him to avoid the huge sense of uneasiness caused by the earth dragon turning over just now, or maybe he was a little envious of Wen Jiu at this moment because even though he was sent to Zhou Kingdom as an abandoned pawn, there were still people who stayed with him.
Or maybe it was his birthday today, but he couldn't find someone who could treat him sincerely and celebrate with him.
Although the woman in front of him wanted to plot against him, she was more sincere in her approach to him.
Qiao Shinian turned around and said, "Well..., if you're lying, I will accompany you as long as Your Majesty needs me; to be honest, I want to go back to accompany Wen Jiu, he is the most important person to me in this world."
"I will take you back." Mu Qingchen walked in front. "I was just worried about your safety, so I wanted to keep you for a while. Since you insist on going back, I will take you back safely."
"Yes, I know. After all, the prince is a responsible and kind-hearted man." Qiao Shinian nodded in response.
Qingyu really wanted to find someone to talk to and discuss the current situation. Just now, his master was speaking from the heart when he asked Miss Qiao to stay with him, but now his master seemed angry, and Miss Qiao was completely unaware of it.
Qiao Shinian was actually a little nervous. She knew that Mu Qingchen seemed angry, but she made friends with him for the mission. Although she also wanted to really treat him as a friend, this was very small in her heart.
She cannot lose herself and her original purpose just because of a mission.
Her goal is to return to Chuwen Kingdom alive with Wen Jiu and stage a revenge drama to avenge the current predicament of having to bow their heads under someone else's eaves!
The key point is that she and Wen Jiu have to live and live well to have a chance to change the world.
Change everything she hates now.
Along the way, Qiao Shinian saw many houses collapsed.
From the violent shaking just now, she guessed that the magnitude of this earthquake should be quite high.
Seeing the panic of the people along the way and hearing their cries, she asked in a low voice: "Prince, will anyone from the government come to help them?"
"Yes, but we have to wait a little longer. Now they can only save themselves." Mu Qingchen's voice was no longer as gentle as before, but a little colder.
Qiao Shinian nodded.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, there was another huge shake from the ground. Qiao Shinian's first reaction was to say "excuse me" and then pulled Mu Qingchen and ran two steps to the open space next to him.
"Squat down."
"Yes." Mu Qingchen did as he was told.
"It's still not safe. I have to go back quickly." Qiao Shinian's voice trembled. To be honest, she was very skeptical about whether the old and dilapidated palace she lived in would collapse. She was worried that Wen Zheng would accidentally go back.
Mu Qingchen originally said those words to himself and Qiao Shinian that sounded like the women in the backyard acting like a spoiled child and making trouble, and then felt very ashamed, and couldn't help wanting to do something to cover up what he had just said.
Therefore, in terms of tone, he had to restore the intonation and attitude that a prince should have, and in terms of behavior, he had to maintain the distance that a prince should have.
But when Qiao Shinian pulled him to the side again and asked him to squat on the ground regardless of his image, he immediately forgot all this.
"Hey, what's this, Your Highness?"
A joking and teasing voice came as the ground shook. Qiao Shinian held his head with both hands without caring about his image, fearing that some flying debris would fall on his fragile head.
There were still people around panicking and screaming. Qingyu and the secret guards in the crowd had no choice but to show the palace token and shout, "Have a place over here and squat! Don't go into the house!"
"If you don't want to be crushed to death, find an open space and squat down!"
Qiao Shinian turned around and saw Mo Lin pulling Mo Cheng towards them, wanting to say something.
She stood up and squatted down with Mo Lin and Mo Cheng pressed down. "Don't run around, it's safe this way. If the earthquake stops later, don't go home for the next two days. It's not that you shouldn't go home, but don't live in the house. Find a place like a straw hut where you won't be crushed to death. Wait for three or four days without aftershocks, then check if there are any cracks in the house before moving in."
"How dare you! You little palace maid... wuwuwu!" Mo Cheng wanted to stand up, but before he could finish his words, Mo Lin pulled him down and covered his mouth.
Mo Lin smiled and looked at Qiao Shinian without any concern: "Earthquake? Do you mean the earth dragon flipped over?"
Qiao Shinian also looked at Mo Lin and blinked. It took him a while to react to what Mo Lin said and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's the earth dragon turning over. Because the word is too long, it's shortened to earthquake, the shaking of the ground."
"Oh, you know a lot, young lady." Mo Lin said with a smile while pressing his brother down, "So where are you and the virtuous king squatting?"
"Of course, mainly because I'm worried that you can't let go. Otherwise, you can sit like this and you won't fall." Qiao Shinian sat directly on the ground, still covering his head with his hands, and responded with a smile.
There was constant wailing in her ears, but she seemed not to hear it.
Mo Lin looked at the servant who was squatting behind him without knowing what was going on and said, "Go and help the virtuous king's guards stop the weavers from finding an open space to squat. Don't let them enter the house again. Rescuing people can wait!"
"Yes!"
"I thought you two were so scared that your legs went limp." Mo Lin completely forgot to explain to his brother not to speak wildly to this woman who looked like a palace maid.
"Young Master Mo has also squatted down due to weak legs." Seeing that the shaking sensation had subsided, Mu Qingchen stood up and stretched out his hand.
Qiao Shinian also stood up and smiled at Mo Lin: "Don't forget what I said just now. Of course, you can take a gamble and move in as usual. This way, I will be clear of the favor I owe you."
"That doesn't count. I'm not stupid enough to just move in. What you owe me remains unchanged!"
When they walked away, Mu Qingchen asked, "What favor do you owe him?"
"Someone bribed the eunuchs in the palace to try to get me out. I killed someone and hurriedly found a place to hide. At that time, I was very afraid of being found by the eunuchs, so I asked him to hide with me. He was a really nice guy. He didn't say anything and just hid with me. So Wen Jiu and I have to repay him for this favor."
Mu Qingchen noticed that no matter what Qiao Shinian said, he would mention Wen Jiu. He realized that Wen Jiu was more than just a friend to Qiao Shinian. At this moment, he even doubted the truth of the rumors.
Qiao Shinian is Wen Jiu's bed-warming maid.
Qiao Shinian simply turned her head slightly towards the river. She didn't dare to see the buildings that were collapsed by the earthquake, nor did she want to see the scene of those people crying and shouting. She even wanted to cover her ears to prevent the wailing from reaching her ears.
"Someone from the government will get involved, right?" Qiao Shinian's eyes dropped slightly and she clenched her fists.
"Yes, it should be getting ready now." Mu Qingchen nodded.
He guessed that Qiao Shinian was feeling uncomfortable, and said, "Someone has already gone back to dispatch the guards from the palace to rescue them. You don't have to worry."
"Well, I'm not worried." Qiao Shinian responded.
Mu Qingchen didn't say anything, but just held Qiao Shinian's tightly clenched fist and said, "Don't worry, Wen Jiu will be fine. He is very smart and quick to react."
"Yeah." Qiao Shinian tried his best to block his five senses and close his heart at this moment. He couldn't see, hear, smell or feel.
