Restart the Disaster of Another World

The next morning, before dawn, Jing Yao and Wen Qun got up early. After quickly washing up, they headed straight to the Wen family.

As soon as he arrived at the Wen family, Jing Yao immediately began to carefully examine Wen Xing's body. After a thorough diagnosis, Jing Yao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, you are fine! You are usually quite strong, which is why you recovered so quickly. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have to suffer a lot."

Wen Xing replied softly, "I'm fine." His voice was a little low due to nasal congestion, mixed with a strong nasal sound. Then, he asked with concern, "How is Qun Qun?"

Last night, Wen Xing actually saw Wen Qun, but because of the distance and Jing Yao's quick action to take him away, he didn't have time to talk to Wen Qun. Now that he was ill, he didn't know how he was doing, so he asked.

Hearing his father's voice, Wen Qun hurried into the room, with a bright smile on his face, he replied: "Dad, don't worry, I'm fine!" Seeing that Wen Xing was fine, the stone in Wen Qun's heart finally fell to the ground, and he smiled happily.

"Thank you, Ayao." Wen Xing looked at Jing Yao seriously and said.

In response to his thanks, Jing Yao smiled and said, "Father, this is what I should do. I'm so glad that you are safe and sound. Since my father passed away early, you are the only father left in the world to accompany me."

Hearing this, Wen Qun's eyes could not help but redden, but he quickly turned his head away and forced himself to hold back the tears from falling.

Wen Xing held Jing Yao's hand tightly and comforted him, "Good boy, I believe their spirits in heaven will protect you."

At this time, Wen's mother came into the room. She was holding two hot water bottles for warming hands, and handed one to each of the father and son. As for the twin brother and sister, Wen's mother did not call them over, fearing that they were weak and easily infected by the disease.

Afterwards, Wen's mother brought up the prepared food, and everyone went to the dining room to eat.

Because the days are shorter in winter, lights must be turned on indoors even in broad daylight, otherwise the light will be too dim.

The meal was relatively simple, with four dishes and one soup. "Just make do with what you have for now, alas." Mother Wen sighed helplessly as she extended her hand to greet everyone.

The weather is cold in winter and there are fewer vegetables, so the only vegetarian dish is bean sprouts.

The snow and wind were too strong to go out, and Granny Chen needed to take care of her sick son, so cooking had to be done by Mother Wen. Wen Qun helped to prepare today's meal.

Before these people ran far out of the East Palace, they ran into the prince's tutor Jiang Baichuan. The two sides collided head-on without any preparation, and the rice paper happened to fall into Jiang Baichuan's hands. The paper was empty without a single word, but the glaring ink marks left when it was thrown away with the brush were particularly conspicuous.

"Master! This is a question that the Emperor asked the Crown Prince to ask..." The eunuch tried to explain in panic.

However, at this moment, Jiang Baichuan's face had already darkened, and a hint of coldness was revealed in his deep, dark eyes: "The Emperor only ordered you to go and tell him about it. Who allowed you to humiliate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this?"

The messy ink marks clearly showed that the paper and pen had been thrown to the ground. The eunuch's face changed slightly when he saw this, and he hurriedly wanted to explain, but Jiang Baichuan didn't give him the chance at all, and directly ordered: "People like you who bully others and take advantage of the power of others, I will report the matter to the emperor truthfully."

Before he finished speaking, the imperial guards on both sides quickly stepped forward and dragged the eunuch down without saying a word. Not long after, bursts of screams could be heard faintly from a distance.

"Master, this matter is very strange. However, the Emperor not only did not put the prince into jail, but instead placed him under house arrest in the East Palace. But the strange thing is that the prince didn't say a word..." The staff standing behind Jiang Baichuan hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward and spoke cautiously.

Jiang Baichuan slowly folded the rice paper in his hand and put it away, sighing softly: "He remained silent at this time, and it seemed that he was more indignant and depressed. Let me reply to the emperor first and tell him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwell and I need to go visit him."

After sending away the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict, Xuanyuan Ting closed the main door of the palace, then turned around and sat back at the table. He reached out to put the imperial edict that was rolled up on the table aside, and calmly read the secret letter sent from outside the capital.

As early as when Jing Yao's letter came, Xuanyuan Ting had already begun to take actions in private. He first summoned the young masters of noble families who were going to the north with him to provide disaster relief, and revealed to them part of the information in the letter, telling them that there might be another snowstorm in the north, and that the people they had just rescued from the hands of the devil might die silently in a place where they could not see.

After going through so much trouble to rescue the people, and being praised by the emperor and the family, these young masters of noble families felt that they had a sense of responsibility towards these people. It was like the seeds they had sown on the land they had worked so hard to cultivate, which were about to blossom and bear fruit, but could no longer grow due to the wind and rain, and were about to wither. How could they be willing to accept this?

Moreover, after seeing those people, their beliefs had already been strengthened, so everyone took action and used the financial and material resources at hand to purchase a lot of supplies. Xuanyuan Ting even privately dispatched troops to send them out.

When he learned that they had all arrived safely in Changping Prefecture, Xuanyuan Ting, who had been framed in public and imprisoned, smiled.

In a palace in the harem, a beautiful woman in gorgeous palace dress was walking back and forth in the palace, with her hands on her chest, showing a shy gesture of a girl. Her initiative to move back and forth had been going on for a while.

The maid next to her saw her like this and said to her: "Thanks to the queen, I was able to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. He is truly a man of great stature and appearance, worthy of being a true descendant of the royal family."

Hearing the palace maid's praise, although she knew that she shouldn't have such thoughts due to her status, the palace-dressed woman still blushed slightly. Thinking of the handsome face and the aura emanating from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly unattainable."

Seeing the inappropriate expression on the face of the woman in palace dress, the maid quickly interrupted and said, "Your Highness, the emperor will not come tonight. Why don't you wash up and rest first? You still have to go to Concubine Han's palace to pay your respects tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, the originally very happy woman in palace dress suddenly fell in expression, but she did not dare to say anything more and could only nod.

At this moment, a man rushed in from outside and said to her, "Empress Li, something terrible has happened."

Concubine Li, who was in a bad mood because she was mentioned as someone she didn't want to face, suddenly turned cold when she saw this. She asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss and panicking?"

The maid knelt down at Concubine Li's feet and said hurriedly, "Concubine Li, the Crown Prince is trying to assassinate the Emperor and is imprisoned in the East Palace."

"What? How could this happen? Wasn't he fine at the banquet just now? How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attempt to assassinate the Emperor?" Concubine Li asked anxiously.

"I don't know either. I was just getting hot water for the Majesty to take a bath in the imperial kitchen, and I heard other servants in the palace say it."

"I'm going to ask the Imperial Concubine what's going on?" Concubine Li said as she was about to go out.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this. With your status, you are not allowed to ask about such things." Seeing her impulsiveness, the two maids quickly grabbed her and stopped her from leaving.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Concubine Li was so anxious that she was running around in circles, unable to hide the worried look on her face.

"Your Highness, since you are only imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, it will not be a severe punishment. You should wash up and rest first. We will go to pay respects to the Imperial Concubine tomorrow morning. We can then ask her at the airport. This way, we can openly and without attracting attention. If there is a commotion in Lishui Palace tonight, I am afraid people will suspect us if we ask her tomorrow."

Hearing the maid say this, Concubine Li calmed down and said quickly: "Xiaohong, help me wash up quickly, Xiaoshui, go find out more, and come back to tell me if you have any news."

The two maids immediately took action. One of them went to help Concubine Li take a bath, while the other ran back to the imperial kitchen to inquire about the news.

Although some news about what happened tonight leaked out, people only heard this vague news, and those who really knew about it were ordered to keep their mouths shut. It was originally a huge matter, but it was as if nothing had happened, and the palace was peaceful and harmonious that night.

The next morning when the news spread, the court was in turmoil. Although the pen had been put to rest and officials no longer attended the morning court, many people from outside the palace attended the family dinner yesterday, and what happened in the palace had already spread. Everyone didn't understand why the prince would assassinate the emperor, and use such a clumsy method.

As for framing, who would use such means to frame the prince? The plot was too simple, and everyone knew that the prince was innocent.

No one knew how the cup of poisoned wine came into the emperor's hands, and no one dared to comment on the matter. Except for the Grand Tutor who had requested to meet the emperor several times, everyone remained silent.

Inside the Changchun Palace, a large group of beauties from the harem were paying their respects to the Imperial Concubine as usual. As the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, Imperial Concubine Han was the most popular person at the time.

After paying their respects, everyone started chatting about various topics, but everyone was absent-minded, looking up at the seat from time to time. They knew what they really wanted to ask, but as the only person present last night, Concubine Han kept silent about the matter and had no intention of speaking.

Concubine Li, who was hiding at the back, listened to those true and false words and kept thinking. When she heard the cup of poisoned wine, her head buzzed as if she was hit by a sharp arrow. She slowly turned her head to look at Concubine Han. The moment their eyes met, Concubine Han showed her a weird smile. Concubine Li was immediately frightened and lowered her head on the spot, not daring to look around again.

After chatting for a while, everyone found that Concubine Han's attitude was ambiguous, but she said nothing and did not allow them to speculate freely, so they soon dispersed.

Concubine Li sat in her original seat in a daze. After everyone had left, she could not wait to ask: "My Lady, last night, that glass of wine, that glass of wine..."

Before he could finish his words, Concubine Han interrupted him: "What wine? We were so far away last night, I didn't see you. What wine?"

Hearing her denial, Concubine Li understood everything. She lowered her head, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and tried to speak calmly, "It is true that I did not see the Imperial Concubine last night."

Seeing that she was so tactful, Concubine Han nodded with satisfaction and asked the servant to bring a box. She opened it and found a pair of beautiful oriental pearls: "These are given to you as a reward. You should know what to say, what not to say, and what to keep to yourself!"

Concubine Li bowed her head and said humbly, "I understand. Thank you, Empress Guifei, for your reward."

Concubine Han was in a good mood and didn't care about her impoliteness. "You can go back."

Concubine Li quickly retreated and left. On the way back, her face was gloomy and she didn't say a word.

The two palace maids following behind her didn't know what was going on and could only follow him tremblingly.

After returning to the palace, looking at the two beautiful oriental pearls, Concubine Li waved her hand and the two pearls fell to the ground, rolled away and disappeared.

"Why is the queen so angry? Two such beautiful pearls are extremely rare." Xiaohong picked up the pearls and said with heartache.

"Yes, they are so beautiful. They are Dongzhu." The two palace maids loved the two Dongzhu very much.

This is not something that ordinary people can get. The annual share is limited. After it is distributed, the concubines in the harem can get very little. Although they don't know why the Imperial Concubine suddenly rewarded the Imperial Concubine Li with a pair so generously, they were very happy to see these things.

Looking at the two beautiful oriental pearls that were picked up, as if they were revealing his crime, Concubine Li covered her face with her hands and cried softly.

The two maids looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. They quickly put down the beads and went to comfort her.

After a long time, Concubine Li finally calmed down, but she looked out the window without saying a word. She didn't expect that it was she who harmed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Last night, in order to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when she was toasting the Emperor, she deliberately left her seat and walked forward a few steps. Unexpectedly, she met Concubine Han. Seeing her walking forward, she thought she was going to seduce the Emperor. Although she was dissatisfied with her behavior, she still let her go and just asked her to put the wine glass on the Crown Prince's table.

Concubine Li, who was not going to see the emperor but the crown prince, was immediately delighted. With this excuse, she could get one step closer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

So she carefully held the wine glass, avoided everyone's sight, came to the prince, and placed the wine glass on the prince's table. She knew that her identity was not suitable to appear in front of the prince, so she did not dare to let the prince discover her whereabouts. After quietly putting down the things, she hid aside and secretly watched the prince.

After toasting the emperor, the concubines were sent back. After returning, she was still secretly delighted to see the prince, but she did not expect that it was her small action that caused the prince to be misunderstood and imprisoned in the East Palace.

She actually had a poisoned wine cup in her hand at the time. If the prince drank the wine in the cup, she would be unforgivable. She hated herself and even more so Concubine Han who set this trap and put the prince in danger. At this moment, the resentment in her heart reached its peak.
