Chapter 492 The Bad Omen
The ministers only felt a violent vibration under their feet, and they regained their composure in an instant.

Rong Qingshan was still in shock, and murmured: "The moment just now, could it be an earthquake?"

Eunuch Zhao's face darkened slightly: "My lord, please be careful about what you say. Now Haiyan and Heqing, how can you make false claims about natural disasters. If there is an earthquake, Qin Tianjian should have informed His Majesty long ago."

Rong Qingshan was startled by the slip of the tongue, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Since ancient times, natural disasters have occurred frequently, which are unknown, and they all warn the emperor to lose his morality. When the epidemic just subsides, the earthquake strikes again, and Emperor Chu's face is dark and difficult to distinguish.

He looked at the gloomy sky outside the hall, and a figure came in panic. He Jianzheng of the Qin Tianjian said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am watching the sky at night, and I am in a vacant place. It is the sky." It's a sign of disaster, there are dark clouds lingering in the southeast today, Annan County is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an, the tremor just now should be an earthquake in Annan County."

Everyone was shocked.

Emperor Chu sent people to investigate, and the news he learned was that there was indeed an earthquake in Annan County, many places in the city collapsed, and countless people were killed and injured. Emperor Chu ordered Chu Xun to go to Annan for disaster relief.

Empress Xiao went to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Xiao, and when she talked about the events of the early court, there was a hint of resentment on her dignified face: "Your Majesty's actions have become more and more unpredictable, and even a village woman was appointed as the Princess of Zhenguo. There has been a lot of discussion between the ruling and opposition parties."

Empress Dowager Xiao leaned on the phoenix couch, her cold eyes were full of light: "I heard that the Tai Chi Hall will shake when the decree is issued?"

Empress Xiao nodded: "The Annan earthquake shook most of Chang'an, but luckily Chang'an is safe."

"Fortunately?" Empress Dowager Xiao sneered, "It would be luck if most of Chang'an collapsed."

Empress Xiao's face changed slightly: "Why did the queen mother say such a thing?"

"Yinghuo's change of position is an ominous sign. The emperor is benevolent and diligent, and the world is peaceful. How can there be such a disaster warning?" Empress Dowager Xiao said meaningfully, "How noble is the princess of Zhenguo. It is a member of the royal family, and the empress is the mother of the world, no matter the prince or princess, no matter how much they are born, they should be regarded as their own."

A slight smile appeared on Empress Xiao's face: "I would like to follow my mother's instruction."

Empress Dowager Xiao closed her eyes, and said in a low voice: "The Ai family is tired, please kneel down."

Empress Xiao saluted and exited Shoukang Palace. Nanny Xiao supported her arm and descended the jade steps of Shoukang Palace.

There was a sneer on the corner of Empress Xiao's mouth: "It's true that even God is helping the Xiao family."

"In the previous dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in charge of the government, and the Empress Dowager was in charge of the harem. The Xiao family will surely live forever."

"Whoever dares to stand in the way of the prince, the palace and Xiao's house will be cleaned up. Sister, go to the imperial dining room and see if the ginseng soup is ready."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mother Xiao went to the imperial dining room to bring ginseng soup and returned to Fengyi Palace, then Empress Xiao took the ginseng soup and went to the imperial study.

The Emperor of Chu was reviewing the memorial. Empress Xiao filled a bowl of ginseng soup from the stewing pot and brought it to the dragon table: "For the state affairs of the previous dynasty, the prince and His Royal Highness the King of Chu shared his worries. Your majesty has not recovered from his headache. You should take care of yourself." The dragon body is."

Emperor Chu took it and took two sips: "The queen brings ginseng soup here every day, it's hard work."

Empress Xiao smiled softly: "This concubine is His Majesty's queen, she is able to serve His Majesty, and this concubine does not work hard. This concubine is here today to discuss something with Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"The concubine wants to host a palace banquet for the Duke of Zhenguo to show the greatness of the emperor's grace, so that no one will judge her because of her background. However, the earthquake in Annan and the people are in dire straits, so the concubine can't decide for a while. idea."
