Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 522 Natural and Man-made Disasters

"shut up!"

Just when Shang Ruyi was holding her breath and concentrating, and all the blood in her body was rushing with Pei Xie's words, Chu Ruoyan's startled and angry voice suddenly interrupted Pei Xie's words.

I saw her pink face full of anger, her willow eyebrows stood upright, she glared at Pei shirt angrily, and scolded: "You are so courageous, you, you, you dare to force the emperor to abdicate?!"

And it was only at this time that Cheng Fei seemed to understand Pei Shi's words.

He hurriedly said: "I don't want it!"

Although it was a child's frightened cry, it was the emperor's voice after all. Chu Ruoyan stared fiercely at Pei Shirt and said, "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will chop your head off!?"

Pei Xie said indifferently: "I have given myself to the community, so I have no fear."

Facing this kind of person who puts life and death aside, Chu Ruoyan seems to know that it is useless for people to drag him down and cut off his head. What makes her even more annoyed is that many of the civil and military officials on both sides listened to Pei Shi's words and began to nod repeatedly.

No!

Absolutely not!

At this moment, Chu Ruoyan felt a little manic in the panic.

She has already lost too much—East Capital City, Ziwei Palace, the gorgeous palace she grew up in, and she can never go back; the father who loved her, shielded her from all wind and rain, and sent all the rare treasures in the world to him, will never be seen again; and her mother, who was always so dignified and noble, gentle and kind, has lost her voice now, and the gentle words that can relieve all the troubles in her heart can no longer be heard...

She has nothing left!
In such a prehistoric and chaotic world, the only thing she wants, the only thing she can hold on to, is that handsome, handsome man who is as reliable as a mountain, and she wants him!

Not just liking, not just love.

She even felt that it was God's last bit of redemption for her.

Even if the emperor is really abdicated, even if the Daye dynasty is plunged into more chaotic flames of war, it doesn't matter, as long as he is still there, as long as he can be with him, she is still alive, she can live on!
Thinking of this, Chu Ruoyan's face turned red all of a sudden, as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her cheeks at this moment, she gritted her teeth, looked at Pei shirt seriously, and said, "Speaking of it, you are holding on to a star in this world, but now, it has already reached the fourth day, and the astrology has appeared, where is the disaster? Where is the disaster?!"

"..."

"Let me tell you, don't say there is no disaster, even if there is a disaster—"

"Really, how?"

At this time, a very soft voice suddenly sounded in the harsh atmosphere of the debate, which shocked people's hearts, and everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to the speaker.

It is business wish.

And the moment she spoke, Yu Wenye let go of her arm.

Chu Ruoyan also looked at her, and the anger in her eyes just now added a bit of hatred: "Why, do you want to say that if there is really a disaster, the emperor should abdicate?"

"No, if there is a real disaster, my wife thinks—"

Shang Ruyi looked at her, then looked at Chu Chengfei who was already panicked and curled up behind the waiter beside him, and said calmly, "The disaster relief should be done first."

Just these four words caused an uproar in the hall.

Everyone really didn't expect that just now everyone was thinking about the abdication of the emperor, the change of dynasty, and the change of power. They were only caught in the thoughts of such a carnivore, but this Mrs. Yuwenshao was real and always considered all issues from the perspective of the common people.

Such a person is truly benevolent!

Comparing with all the previous words, the judgment is judged!

It seemed that everyone felt the admiration and appreciation in Shang Ruyi's eyes, especially Yu Wenye who was at the side. When he looked at Shang Ruyi, his dark eyes seemed to flash with joy that he had never seen before, and there was an indescribable malice in Chu Ruoyan's heart rushing against her chest.

An evil thought arises spontaneously.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Then you go to rescue the disaster and help the people."

"..."

"Things that are not in front of you at all, no matter how eloquently you can say it, it's useless!"

Her words were so ruthless that there was no way back, she didn't care about the whole situation, she just wanted to speak quickly and knock down the other party; upon hearing her words, not only Shang Ruyi frowned, but even Yu Wenjian, who was standing not far away and silently watching the chaos in the court hall, also frowned slightly.

He subconsciously wanted to take a step forward.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, he saw behind Shang Ruyi another thin figure slowly walking forward, panting every step, looking extremely weak, but in an instant, it caused shock to the people around.

That was the old minister of the three dynasties who had confronted Shang Ruyi at Dayan Temple before - Ji Hong.

He has been hunched over, standing in the middle of the group of officials, because of his thin body, he is silent, and almost no one will notice him; but at this time, he slowly walked out of the train and walked towards Shang Ruyi, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on him

For a while, the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall became tense again.

You know, Master Ji is loyal to the Daye dynasty. Even though he was abandoned by Chu Yang back then, he still sticks to the Daxing Palace and worries about the country every day;

Now, Pei Shi wants to force the emperor to abdicate, and Mrs. Yuwenshao confronts the eldest princess.

With his appearance like this, is it possible that he will confront the Yuwen family again, devote himself to the royal family, and die?
Seeing him coming forward, Chu Ruoyan's eyes lit up, but Shang Ruyi held her breath involuntarily. Of course, she knew that the old Mr. Ji's weight in the court, as long as he opened his mouth, it was enough to change the direction of the wind in the court.

Just when Shang Ruyi nervously clenched the hand hanging by her side, there was a warm and familiar breath behind her.

Looking back, it was Yu Wenye.

Although he didn't say anything, his tall figure was like a mountain, standing behind her like a backer.

Thinking of the last time in Dayan Temple, when I saw him a few times, he was indifferent and wanted to let himself pass that test, but in the end, he still had his arrangements to cover for him. At this moment, with him behind him, Shang Ruyi felt that he seemed to have more confidence.

She looked at Ji Hong's white-haired, old-fashioned appearance, and said softly, "Master Ji—"

But before she finished speaking, Ji Hong didn't look at her at all, and only looked at Chu Ruoyan, who was looking at him with bright eyes, and said, "Your Highness, if there is a disaster and the Yuwen family really rescues the people, what should we do?"

"...!?"

Chu Ruoyan was stunned.

Are you questioning her? !
She couldn't believe her ears, she looked at Ji Hong in astonishment, and after a long time, she said in a trembling voice: "Master Ji, what are you—what are you talking about?"

Not only Chu Ruoyan was shocked, but even Shang Ruyi was stunned.

You must know that although Pei Xie proposed to abdicate, he did not specify who he would abdicate to, and he was the one who just said to help the people, but what Ji Hong said was "Yuwen's family", that is to say, he directly pointed out that if he rescued the people, he would abdicate to Yuwen's family!

Ji Hong, was he actually helping them? !

how come?
Shang Ruyi opened her eyes and looked at him in a panic, but she also knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so she could only stand there in a daze, while Chu Ruoyan was dazed, with red eyes, and said to Ji Hong with the little strength left: "Master Ji, even you—"

Ji Hong looked at her with cloudy gray eyes, and said: "Princess, please make it clear."

At this moment, the last moment has come.

When Ji Hong also stood up, everyone, even those who knew that the matter was irreversible but still missed the old master, understood that even if Yu Wenyuan hadn't come forward in person, even if there hadn't been a confrontation, the Daye Dynasty was doomed to come to an end.

"Ha ha,"

Chu Ruoyan laughed suddenly, and she seemed unable to hold back the smile, and then laughed out loud, even tears, her eyes were red, she looked at Ji Hong in front of her, and said sadly: "Don't you just want the emperor to abdicate?"

"..."

"Well, I can say it, and if there is some misfortune—"

Everyone held their breath and looked at her intently, only to see Chu Ruo rouge walking along and baring her teeth. At this moment, her stunning beauty faded away, and her body revealed a bit of she-wolf-like ferocity that was driven to a desperate situation, and she said word by word: "The emperor, abdicate!"

"Queen!"

The little emperor sitting on the dragon chair panicked all of a sudden, but at this moment, he had no choice but to shout.

After all, at this time, even the servants beside him had stopped talking.

But after saying those words, Chu Ruoyan only felt that half of the bones in her body were taken away, and her whole body was staggering, as if she was about to fall down at any time, but she stood in the center of the hall, like a stubborn ghost, looking at the relaxed, calm, or even happy expressions of the people around her, she laughed again, and then said: "However, where are the disasters that you keep saying 'the star appears, and the disaster begins'?"

She raised her hand and pointed at Shang Ruyi, her trembling fingertips were like a gleaming weapon, wishing to pierce her through: "She really became a Bodhisattva when she said she wanted to save disasters and help the people? There is no—"

As soon as the words fell, there was another rumbling thunder.

However, unlike the previous muffled thunder that was only rolling in the clouds, this time the thunder seemed to be around the Tai Chi Hall, even above their heads, shaking the whole hall slightly.

But Yu Wenyuan frowned and looked outside the hall.

Immediately, a group of gold-armored soldiers rushed forward to protect the outside of the hall.

The blood on Chu Ruoyan's face faded, and she turned pale all of a sudden——she realized that her stubborn struggle just now was useless. Although Yu Wenyuan didn't say a word, the entire Tai Chi Hall, and maybe even the entire Daxing Palace, were already under his control.

No matter what I said, even if the last drop of blood was shed here, the result would be the same.

but--

At this moment, her confused mind had just sorted out this point of thought, and was immediately shattered by another deafening bang. Chu Chengfei in the main hall was so frightened that he ran down the dragon chair and threw himself into her arms: "Sister Huang!"

Chu Ruoyan's face was pale, and she also looked out of the hall in panic.

This thunder, it seems, is not just thunder, but——

"It's the Golden Dragon Drum!"

Just when everyone was holding their breath, as if they couldn't believe the sound they heard, someone finally shouted loudly, the voice was shrill and terrified: "It's the sound of the Golden Dragon Drum!"

At this moment, everyone let out a low cry of horror.

Golden Dragon Drum!
You must know that the capital of the Daye Dynasty was Daxing, which was divided into inner and outer cities. Regardless of the inner city wall, outer city wall, or palace wall, gongs and drums were set up in the southeast, northwest, and west corners to observe the movement inside and outside the city.

But the warnings shown by gongs and drums are also different.

What the golden gong warns is man-made disasters, which is the enemy situation that the capital must guard against the most. Once there is an enemy situation outside the city, the gong should be sounded immediately to make the guards inside the city ready to defend against the enemy.

And what the Golden Dragon Drum forewarned was a natural disaster.

However, not all natural disasters can use the Golden Dragon Drum. When Emperor Wen set up these dozens of Golden Dragon Drums, he also issued a decree. Only large-scale natural disasters that will shake the stability of Daxing City and even the stability of the Daye Dynasty can use the Golden Dragon Drum.

Therefore, since the Golden Dragon Drum was set up, for more than twenty years, the people in Daxing City have never heard a drum sound.

So much so that everyone thought just now that it was the sound of thunder!

At this moment, an increasingly clear loud noise came along with invisible waves, as if it was focused on the Tai Chi Hall, and everyone's hearts trembled with the rumbling drumbeat.

Chu Ruoyan panicked, and said loudly, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

In her arms, Chu Chengfei was so frightened that his face paled, he could only hug her tightly, crying, "Sister Huang, save me!"

His crying aggravated Chu Ruoyan's panic. Hearing the sound of the drums intertwined with the thunder above her head, it seemed as if the world was about to collapse at this moment, and her whole mind almost collapsed at this moment: "What happened? What happened?!"

As soon as her words fell, outside the main hall, a young eunuch hurriedly ran in from the Jiade Gate, passed through the Taiji Gate, boarded the trail, and ran all the way to the outside of the Taiji Hall, trembling to the people in the hall, "Qi, Qi Prime Minister—"

Yu Wenyuan took a step forward: "What happened?"

The little eunuch's legs were weak, and he said tremblingly, "There is a plague in the city!"

"what?!"

At this moment, everyone in the hall panicked.

Yu Wenye's expression was also concentrating, and he subconsciously lowered his head to glance, but saw that although Shang Ruyi's eyes were obviously widened, there seemed to be a "sure enough" expression in those terrified eyes.

At this time, Chu Ruoyan had already sternly scolded: "Plague? Even if it is a plague, why are you beating the Golden Dragon Drum!"

The little eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, and said with a mournful face: "Princess Qi, the medical clinics in the inner city and outer city are already full of patients, and disease outbreaks have also occurred in the workshops. Not only that, outside the city gate, there are countless patients who want to break into the city to seek medical treatment!"
