The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 153
As Ning Yi said, the rainstorm stopped the next day, and the entire Jincheng was filled with mourning.

The people were displaced, the work of the government was suspended, everything was desolate and chaotic, robbery and looting occurred frequently, and the order began to gradually collapse.

The medicine on Ning Yi's body had already recovered his strength, so Qin Wan returned the dragon scale to him.

"I'm going back to the Palace of the King of Shu to find Ji Yan, you have to meet Bai Zixian by yourself." Qin Wan instructed, "Be careful on the road."

Ning Yi nodded, and put the dragon scale back into her hand: "I'm not here, let it protect you."

"..." Qin Wan shuddered, nodded silently, and put the dragon scale on his back again.

The two parted ways and Qin Wan rushed to the palace. She was worried about Ji Yan and hoped that he was not injured.

Back at the Shu Palace, as she thought, it was completely messed up.

Many court ladies and internal officials died and were injured, Qin Wan became more anxious, and ran all the way to the inner hall where Ji Yan was.

When seeing Ji Yan, he was by Concubine Xue's side.Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, both mother and son seemed to be fine.

"Qin Wan!" Seeing Qin Wan appearing, Ji Yan immediately got up and ran towards her, checking her up and down to see if she was injured.Seeing her muddy body and the bandaged wound on her hand, she asked distressedly, "Your hand hurt?"

Qin Wan didn't answer, but asked Ji Yan: "How are you and Concubine Xue doing? Are you injured?"

"My concubine and I are fine." Ji Yan saw that Qin Wan's mental state was fine, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"How is the disaster situation now? I think you have to send more troops to rescue and maintain order in the city, organize medical teams, and resettlement teams, and distribute food and water. All of these need to be acted on immediately."

"I have urgently mobilized the imperial army and the city defense army to rescue people in the city. The Kongchuan Temple has vacated a large amount of space to accommodate the victims. But now even the officials have dead and injured in their homes, and there are not enough manpower."

Ji Yan was very anxious, but there was no better way.

Qin Wan bit her lip and said, "Ning Yi promised that he would bring the Northern Army into Sichuan to help with disaster relief..."

Ji Yan froze, looked at Qin Wan with fixed eyebrows, and then looked at the mud and blood stains on her body, his heart was shaken, and he could already guess where she went after the earthquake last night.

A person's heart will be exposed in the face of disaster.

Qin Wan avoided his eyes with a guilty conscience.

After a while, Ji Yan sighed softly: "...I understand, I will open the border gates and allow the Northern Army to enter Shu."

"Ji Yan, you believe me, Beirong didn't come to take advantage of the fire, they really came to help..."

"It's okay, I trust you." Ji Yan smiled slightly at Qin Wan.

After Qin Wan left yesterday, Ji Yan returned to Concubine Xue and chatted with her all night.He apologized to Concubine Xue, repented of his unfilial piety and incomprehension, and held Concubine Xue's hand to tell about all the old things he remembered when he was a child, and gradually redeemed himself in the narration of such memories.In fact, he has never lacked love, but most of the time he ignores and forgets, and what he remembers is mostly hatred and misunderstanding.

Ji Yan told Concubine Xue about Qin Wan, everything that happened since they met, including being chased up a tree by a dog, eating Chaoshou together, practicing sword together, and fleeing Ba Kingdom together. He also talked about how he hurt her, She tortured him... He said that Qin Wan was willful, stubborn, and proud... She looked sensible, but in fact she acted recklessly, she seemed to be far away from others, but she always offered a helping hand at critical moments.

Concubine Xue stared blankly into the distance during the whole process of his narration, occasionally sneered for no reason, and occasionally fell silent suddenly, but she didn't get bored, so she just talked one by one and listened to the other until late at night.Fortunately, when the earthquake came, Ji Yan quickly noticed it, and carried Concubine Xue out of the palace immediately.

Ji Yan felt that if Qin Wan hadn't appeared in the dark, he might still be living in Kongchuan Temple when the disaster came, and he might not have the chance to see Concubine Xue again.

So when he knew that Qin Wan went to save Ning Yi, he was relieved.

Ji Yan soon announced the king's decree, allowing the Beirong army to enter the territory of Shu to participate in disaster relief.

Bai Zixian led the vanguard into Jincheng, and quickly established cooperation with the governor of Jincheng to control the situation first, stabilize prices, and rescue victims.After Yuan Ying arrived, she assisted the imperial guards of the Shu Kingdom to crack down on the incidents of vandalism and looting in the city and stabilize the law and order in the city.And Ning also signed a special supply channel for disaster relief materials with the king of Ba, and urgently allocated food from neighboring Suiyang, Dazhou, Wanzhou and other places, and quickly transported it to Shu to relieve the victims.

Only a few villages on the border between Ba Kingdom and Shu Kingdom were affected by the disaster, but this period has become the busiest time in Ba Wang's life. He helped Ning Yi busy, and he also helped him deliver supplies and coordinate with Ba Kingdom. The people went to Shu to provide support, and opened the border to resettle some victims...

What Wang Ba did not expect the most was that His Royal Highness King Ning, who is known as King Ning of Beirong, respected him very much. He would ask his opinions on everything, and even very rationally adopted his proposals according to local conditions in many cases. He couldn't be more cordial, which made Bawang feel that this period of time was simply the highlight of his life, and he burned incense every day to thank his ancestors for their blessings.

Qin Wan, who was in Jincheng, was also very busy rescuing the wounded. She ran to the Kongshan Temple and asked the young monks to take out all the medicines made by Ji Yan and distribute them to the doctors in the city for free, and taught them the usage and dosage. , These medicines that made her suffer in the past have all become good medicines for healing and saving lives, greatly reducing the pain of the injured.

Ji Yan, on the other hand, methodically commanded the self-construction and self-rescue of the entire Shu Kingdom in the court.The disaster situation quickly stabilized with the efforts of the soldiers and civilians of the Shu Kingdom, as well as the assistance of the Beirong Army and the Ba Kingdom, and the entire Jincheng began to be rebuilt intensively.

Two months later, Jincheng took on a new look, and the Beirong army also completed its mission and returned to Beirong territory.

The Palace of the King of Shu was also refurbished, and the collapsed buildings were rebuilt.

Ji Yan ordered people to rebuild the collapsed three-storey building in the northeast corner of the palace, and named it "Wangwan Building". Standing on it, one can overlook the mountains in the northeast, and even the snow line of Qingling when the weather is good.

Qin Wan took a good shower, changed into clean clothes, sat on the railing of Wangwan Building with his feet facing outwards, stretched his waist and stretched his arms: "It's too embarrassing for you to name this building, no, It is ugly and embarrassing, and others will say that you, the king, have no taste."

"Looking at the blue clouds and sky and the sunrise, who has the most beautiful mountains and eaves. Isn't it a reflection of the scenery here? What's so ugly about the name of Wangwan Tower, and why is it embarrassing?" Ji Yan said with a smile.

"You are educated, I am willing to bow down." Qin Wan exaggeratedly clasped his fists and shook his hands to express his admiration.

"Qin Wan, I heard that King Ba has officially handed over the king's seal to King Ning. From then on, Ba State has been changed to Ba Prefecture, under the unified jurisdiction of Beirong." Ji Yan said.

Qin Wan nodded: "Well, my father wrote to me and told me that he got along well with Ning Yi during this period of time, and he trusted him very much. My father has no sons, and with a daughter like me, he has long intended to take away the people from the Ba Kingdom. Hand over the royal power, and he will be an idle old man who grows flowers and raises birds, and now he can finally relax and carefree, no longer need to worry about state affairs."

It was only in Ba Wang's letter that Qin Wan found out about her portrait being sent to Beirong. The unsolved mystery in her mind about how Ning Yi knew she was in Ba was solved.

Ba Wang felt that just a portrait of his own daughter would be able to invite the famous King Ning to the small southwestern country in person. It must be because he and the queen had a good life, and there was smoke on the ancestral grave.Now he is looking forward to Qin Wan's marriage to His Royal Highness Ning Wang every day, so that he will become the old father-in-law of Beirong King Ning from the most cowardly king in Kyushu, and his waist is so strong that it can almost match the entire city wall.

Qin Wan didn't know what to say to this father whose strength betrayed his daughter.

Ji Yan went on to say: "I have also thought about it carefully. The unification of Kyushu is the general trend, and the Kingdom of Shu is attached to Beirong to benefit the country and the people. So I decided to make Shu Kingdom officially a subsidiary state of Beirong, and accept the canonization of Emperor Rong."

Qin Wan looked at Ji Yan in surprise, she never thought that he would be so open-minded, and immediately gave him a thumbs-up: "Ji Yan, you have grown up and look like an adult."

Ji Yan smiled bitterly: "I just hope that my whole country can be closer to you."

Qin Wan smiled, she jumped off the railing and gave Ji Yan a hug: "You will be a good king, I knew it from the beginning."

"Thank you, Qin Wan." Ji Yan also hugged her, and then let go.

　The parts of Ba and Shu are finally over.

　　Seeing Ji Yan find a correct growth path, I feel so comforted.

　　Of course, in this process, Qin Wan also changed a lot,

　　She began to learn to use more decisive methods and means such as cruelty, torture, threats, killing, checks and balances, coercion, etc., to achieve a relatively peaceful and stable result.

　　Of course, Wanwan's growth path will continue.

　　If you don't go through the hardships of 81, how can you achieve a positive result, so you don't have to worry about being abused every night.I still have candy occasionally.

　　I will try my best to update, thank you for reading.
