Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 47: My Years as a Maid 8

Zhao Yunru completed the task assigned by the empress, and the empress took the opportunity to propose that Zhao Yunru become the Grand Princess.

Although there were some court officials who opposed this time, the number was not as large as before.

There were also court officials who supported the fourth princess Zhao Baoyue, but in the end they were suppressed by the empress.

It was a foregone conclusion that Zhao Yunru would become the Grand Empress' daughter.

Zhao Yunru didn't expect that she could become the Grand Princess so easily.

Zhao Yunru, who became the princess of the royal family, did not return to the palace to live because the palace was being rebuilt. She now still lives in the prince's palace.

Yun Chu felt that when the capital was being built, the Feng Shui master did not choose a good location, so it felt unsuitable to be the capital.

Now that Zhao Yunru has become the Grand Princess, she will definitely ask her to move the capital in the future.

So Yun Chu sold all the houses he bought at a loss, leaving only one house.

Less than ten days after the sale, a major earthquake occurred in Kyoto again.

If Yun Chu hadn’t felt something was wrong, Zhao Yunru and the others would all have been buried.

Yun Chu felt that the earthquake was of magnitude seven or eight.

Throughout Kyoto, most of the houses collapsed, and it was raining.

"Go find the Queen Mother." Zhao Yunru ordered.

"Your Highness, no, aftershocks may happen at any time. If something happens to you, the Qiong Yu Kingdom will be leaderless." Situ Min stopped him.

Yun Chu said, "Your Highness, I will lead a team to search the palace for rescue, and you go to a safe place."

"No, aunt, you come with me." Zhao Yunru disagreed.

"Your Highness, you don't know my abilities yet. I'll be fine." Yun Chu looked at Situ Minjun, "Take Your Highness and leave first."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Yun Chu led a team of soldiers and headed towards the palace.

When Yun Chu and his companions arrived at the palace, they found that everything inside had collapsed.

Yun Chu released his mental power and found the location of the empress. The empress was still alive. She was hiding under the table, and the shadow guards were protecting her, so she survived.

However, Yun Chu saw that one of the empress's legs was crushed into a bloody mess by the stone pillar.

Yun Chu ordered the soldiers to act separately, and she went to the empress's location alone.

Use mental power to stun the empress, then use space movement to move the empress out.

Then he shouted and asked the soldiers to take the person away.

Yun Chu stayed and continued to rescue other people in the palace. When his superpowers were exhausted, Yun Chu used the remaining points to buy crystal cores and replenish his superpowers.

After replenishing his special powers, Yun Chu continued with the rescue, and in this way, he rescued people from the palace to outside the palace.

[You successfully completed the hidden mission: Earthquake Rescue, and received 50,000 points.]

Yun Chu didn't expect that there was a hidden task, and this hidden task had such a high score.

With the points, Yun Chu exchanged for crystal cores and started saving people again.

Zhao Yunru received Yun Chu's letter. Yun Chu was responsible for rescuing the people, and the soldiers were responsible for taking everyone away.

When Yun Chu was saving people, he did not forget to collect all the usable things.

These things can be given to refugees after the disaster.

Thanks to Yun Chu's timely treatment, many of the buried people survived.

All these people were resettled in Takemura, a village outside Kyoto that was not affected by the earthquake.

When Yun Chu arrived at Zhu Village, he saw countless dazed and sad people.

I have lost hope in life.

Many ministers in the court were killed or injured, but many were also rescued.

These ministers were still wearing the clothes they were in when they were rescued, and they smelled bad.

But now they have no home and they can’t take care of so many things.

As for the empress, her right leg was amputated below the knee. She is still unconscious and has not woken up yet.

Yun Chu used his points to exchange for medicine and asked the imperial physician to give it to the seriously ill.

The imperial physician tried it on the common people first, and only after confirming that it was effective did he give it to the empress.

After using it, the empress woke up half an hour later. When she woke up, she felt pain in her right leg.

She tried to lift her feet, but found that only her thighs were left.

The empress was going crazy, "Where are my legs? Where are they? Where are they?!"

After shouting a few times, the empress became so angry that she fainted again.

The imperial physician quickly gave the empress acupuncture, and the maid who was guarding the empress immediately went to find Zhao Yunru.

Tell the Empress that she has woken up.

Zhao Yunru immediately came to the house where the empress lived.

Zhao Yunru entered the room and saw the empress slowly opening her eyes, "Mother, you're awake."

"You are the disaster star, you are the disaster star." The empress was a little crazy.

Zhao Yunru heard this and looked at the empress calmly, "Mother, you lost your right leg and are crazy. I don't blame you for your careless words."

"Imperial Physician, why don't you let our mother have a good sleep?" Zhao Yunru looked at the imperial physician sharply.

The imperial physician immediately gave the empress acupuncture, and she fell asleep.

"Take good care of the Queen Mother. If she gets mad again, does the Imperial Physician know what to do?"

"As you command, Your Highness."

Other ministers also came to see the empress and saw her condition.

Their idea is that the empress is no longer qualified for the throne.

Now, the other princesses are either dead, injured, or very young. The only adult princess left is Zhao Yunru.

And Zhao Yunru is the Grand Princess, so they can support Zhao Yunru to ascend the throne.

The ministers came to find Zhao Yunru and asked her to succeed to the throne.

Zhao Yunru neither agreed nor refused.

After Zhao Yunru consulted with her confidants, she decided to ask her mother to write an imperial decree to pass on the throne so that she could ascend the throne legitimately.

The only person who can make the empress write an imperial edict is Yun Chu.

Yun Chu went to the empress, and when she woke up, Yun Chu controlled her to write the imperial edict to pass on the throne.

As for the jade seal, Yun Chu was also rescued and handed over to Zhao Yunru.

After receiving the imperial edict, the female official announced it the next day, stating that Zhao Yunru would succeed to the throne.

Zhao Yunru became the empress.

Because of the current state of Kyoto, it is impossible to hold the coronation ceremony.

Zhao Yunru directly proposed to move the capital.

The feng shui of Kyoto is not good, so a new location must be chosen. As for the location, Yun Chu and Zhao Yunru had already discussed it last night.

Yun Chu analyzed the location of the earthquake zone based on the map of Qiong Yu Kingdom.

So the place we chose was not in an earthquake zone.

There are two suitable places, one is Pingyang County and the other is Tianshui County.

Finally, we chose Tianshui County, which has convenient transportation and the Tai River flows through it.

There are salt bowls, iron mines, etc. in Tianshui County.

Also, Tianshui County is very close to Yongkang County.

Zhao Yunru’s base camp is still in Yongkang County.

After confirming it, Zhao Yunru directly informed other ministers. Some ministers disagreed because the capital had not changed throughout the dynasties and could not be moved at will.

Some ministers agreed that since Kyoto was in such ruins, rebuilding it would be a waste of money and time, so it would be better to move the capital.

Those who disagreed also agreed under Zhao Yunru's iron-fisted approach.

It was at this time that these ministers realized that Zhao Yunru was not mediocre at all, and had been pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger for them.

Officials from other counties received the imperial edict a month later.

Empress Zhao Dexin has passed the throne to the Empress Dowager's daughter Zhao Yunru, and now Zhao Yunru has become the new emperor.

The reign title was changed to the first year of Mingxi.

Moved the capital to Tianshui County.
