Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

Unexpectedly, the disaster was not as serious as imagined.

However, the tragic scenes of collapsed houses and injured people could still be seen everywhere, and even a corner of the cold palace in the palace was not spared, resulting in the deaths and injuries of several palace maids.

"Are the Queen and the Imperial Concubine all right?" the Emperor asked again, his voice revealing deep concern.

Eunuch An also held his breath waiting for the answer.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is being cared for by those around her and is fine; the same is true for the Imperial Concubine. Only one palace maid from the Empress Dowager's place bravely rescued her and is currently recuperating under the care of the imperial physician." The visitor reported in detail.

Eunuch An looked at His Majesty, surprised at the palace maid's act of saving the emperor.

Murong Shuo was also in deep thought: "Where is that palace maid now?"

"Your Majesty, there was a palace servant who was injured while rescuing the Empress Dowager. He was blocked by falling objects. He is now being treated by the imperial physician and is resting for the time being." The visitor answered again.

Murong Shuo nodded, "When he recovers, he will be rewarded handsomely!" He and Eunuch An responded together.

Although the emperor was outside the palace, he was still concerned about the disaster area because of the news just brought by the people sent back to the palace.

Murong Shuo didn't say anything more, but his eyes showed deep thought about the follow-up measures. Eunuch An couldn't help but wonder if there would be another earthquake disaster?

He looked at His Majesty. The palace was now empty, as most people had gone to deal with the disaster.

He thought of the mansion outside the palace where Miss Zhang had been left by His Majesty. It seemed that there was nothing serious there, but what would happen in the future...

Murong Shuo also thought of this.

He immediately ordered his men to send someone to inform the woman that she was temporarily living in a tent outside the mansion. He originally planned to bring her into the palace, but later changed his mind and took her to the mansion first.

If the house is in trouble, he will take her back to the palace; if the house is fine -

After making sure the house was safe, he let her stay there.

But his heart was still concerned about her safety.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch An responded. "I also believe that both the palace and the capital need to be cautious. I suggest that everyone refrain from residing in the palace for the time being."

Murong Shuo nodded in agreement, "I have already thought of this."

He responded again and looked at Eunuch An, then did not follow the emperor away.

Outside the palace, Zhang Tianai quickly received news from the palace and understood the man's concerns, so they did not move into the house to prevent aftershocks from happening again.

Zhang Tianai agreed.

Although she knew in her heart that even if there were aftershocks in the next two days, their intensity would be insignificant and there was no need to worry too much, the man's deep concern made her decide to follow his advice.

She expressed her gratitude to the emperor, and then left quickly once the figure disappeared.

Being outside, her eyes fell on the guard.

She not only wanted to pray silently in her heart, but also had an urge to take action.

How could she sleep peacefully when she thought of the innocent people in the capital who were injured by the disaster?

Just sitting and praying seems far from enough.

So, she took Chunmei and walked straight towards the guards and expressed her wish - she wanted to assist in the rescue work.

The guards were stunned at first and confused by her proposal.

Zhang Tianai explained that as long as she covered her face with a veil, no one would recognize her.

Despite this, they still mentioned the emperor's opinion.

However, she insisted on going, saying that she would be safe with their protection and she just wanted to do her part.

Eventually, the guards could no longer stop her.

The scene before us was heartbreaking: the casualties caused by the rolling earth dragon (earthquake), and the ruins illuminated by the fire.

Zhang Tianai joined the rescue effort without hesitation. For those things she could not assist directly, she asked her guards to help.

Afterwards, she asked if there was any silver available for alms and medical treatment of the wounded after daybreak. The guards told her that there was a spare amount of silver.

"That's good." Zhang Tianai asked them to lend her some temporarily, although she didn't have any herself, and it would be better if she had some.

In this way, she was busy all night and helped countless people.

At daybreak, she instructed her guards to donate silver and continue treating the wounded, then she left the scene and returned to her residence.

Since the environment was still unsafe during the day, she chose to take a break.

Despite resting for a while, Zhang Tianai was still obviously tired.

A sleepless night without food or water, physical exhaustion, and the dirt on her body all made her feel uncomfortable.

Chunmei came in and announced that the water for washing was ready.

Looking at the tired look on Zhang Tianai's face and the dust on her body, Chunmei also felt a little distressed and confused - she really couldn't imagine that the girl would take them to help those injured people in the middle of the night and personally participate in it.

Zhang Tianai smiled and clapped his hands, asking Chunmei to come closer. Looking at his dusty appearance and Chunmei's disheveled look, the two smiled at each other.

Chunmei looked at the girl in front of her, her heart filled with admiration and emotion - this girl not only had a kind heart, but also had the courage to take action.

In today's time, the girl's transformation is remarkable, and now her style is unmatched and admirable.

Compared with others, most of them just donated money, gave out porridge and other good deeds.

However, the girl's actions were unique in style.

"Chunmei, I want to hear your opinion." Zhang Tianai asked her again.

"Girl, you should take a shower and rest first. You need to rest." Chunmei stopped a few steps away from the girl.

Seeing that he couldn't hold the girl's hand, Zhang Tianai gave up trying.

So, after taking a bath, I drank the medicine and took a short nap.

"The families of those who suffered damage and injuries around the capital still need our help."

Under Chunmei's careful care, the girl took a bath, changed her clothes, and then fell asleep peacefully.

Chunmei looked at her sleeping form and thought to herself, "The girl can finally have a good rest."

She tiptoed out and changed into casual clothes.

With the arrival of dawn, Murong Shuo in the palace also ended his busy work.

After a hard night's work, he gently rubbed the sides of his forehead.

He raised his head, and the people kneeling below didn't dare to make a sound.

Eunuch An walked in quietly to see if His Majesty needed anything.

Murong Shuo motioned for the people outside to come in. He then spent most of the day receiving ministers who came to the palace to seek an audience.

Everything is fine in Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

As for the prince... "Where is the prince?" Murong Shuo asked.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch An replied that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had left the palace and had not returned yet.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the palace in the morning, and His Majesty let him leave.

After hearing this, Murong Shuo didn't say anything more and planned to take a rest.

Seeing this, Eunuch An was about to ask His Majesty if he needed a massage or something to drink.

At this time, the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine and other ladies in the harem brought carefully prepared food.

The Empress Dowager has also been concerned about the situation in the palace and asked Murong Shuo how to deal with it.

In fact, with the emperor's intervention, everything will be resolved smoothly.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch An's voice interrupted Murong Shuo's thoughts.

He looked up at Eunuch An, who reported to him the situation in the harem.

Murong Shuo nodded to show that he understood, and then Eunuch An carried the food sent by the Queen and the Imperial Concubine into the inner room. After placing it, he respectfully called out "Your Majesty".

Murong Shuo quickly began to eat. The food was carefully prepared with nutritious ingredients. The palace banquet was filled with a wide variety of delicacies, including lotus root stew, fish soup, chicken soup, and rich meats.

These dishes were specially sent by the Imperial Concubine to stimulate the appetite and refresh the mind. The cold side dishes were refreshing and delicious, while the glutinous rice porridge was sweet and smooth, deeply loved by the Emperor. He often relied on the meals sent by the Imperial Concubine.

Seeing that His Majesty was satisfied with the meal, Eunuch An quietly led his entourage to clear the tableware again.

At this time, a palace servant came to report: "Your Majesty, there is a guest outside the palace. He arrived early in the morning and has been waiting for a long time."

Eunuch An was looking at His Majesty, but the palace maid did not dare to report it without permission.

Murong Shuo asked doubtfully, "Who is it? Could it be that woman wants to discuss something with you?"

Eunuch An answered, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

Then he recounted in detail what Miss Zhang did last night. Her behavior really exceeded everyone's expectations again.

Not only did she personally help rescue people, but her actions were also secretive and no one noticed.

After hearing this, Murong Shuo looked at Eunuch An and asked, "You said she actually led people to rescue?"

Eunuch An nodded in agreement, and Murong Shuo's understanding of her deepened.

Initially, he was attracted by her beauty, and later he was shocked by her character. Now, he understood her temperament and character even better.

Eunuch An continued, "Your Majesty, Miss Zhang has requested silver today."

Murong Shuo was silent for a moment, thinking of the woman who hadn't slept all night, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Did she also not sleep all night?"

Eunuch An replied, "Yes, just like Your Majesty, we have not slept well."

Murong Shuo thought about the woman's physical condition, "How could her frail body not fail?"

Eunuch An once again answered affirmatively, "No."

Afterwards, the empress and the imperial concubine also sent people to inquire about the emperor's recent situation, but the emperor avoided them.

Eunuch An didn't dare to say too much.

Later, the emperor received several more visitors.

As the aftermath of the several earthquakes gradually subsided, I was no longer as panicked as I was on the first night because I had a plan to deal with it.

A few days later, Eunuch An heard that Miss Zhang had gone out to help others again, so he reported the matter to the emperor.

Murong Shuo was silent for a long time. It was not until several days later that he remembered the woman's injuries. "How is her injury?"

Eunuch An replied, "Your Majesty, her condition has improved significantly."

Murong Shuo nodded slightly after hearing this, and after a moment's silence, he said, "That's very good."

However, Eunuch An did not hear his next instructions.

Murong Shuo finally stood up and looked into the distance with deep eyes.
