Ancient natural disasters, walking sideways in the maximum level space!

On the third day of the volcanic eruption, the fresh water stored in the palace could no longer meet the needs of the thousands of people in the palace.

Now even the emperor, concubines, princes and princesses have not washed for two days. All the water is saved for drinking and filtering the air.

Emperor Mingde covered his face with a wet towel and sat on a high seat, looking down at the court officials below.

In just two days, nearly half of the court officials were unable to attend court and were lying in bed.

Other officials were also in a panic and asked the emperor what to do next.

Some officials quietly looked up at Emperor Mingde, and it was obvious that they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Emperor Mingde told them to speak directly if they had something to say and not to be hesitant.

Someone suggested moving the palace to the south.

Emperor Mingde said nothing. He had read the casualty report submitted to him this morning in Kyoto and the area within a radius of 200 miles.

Heavy casualties!

He waved his hand, without saying whether he agreed or not, just saying that he needed to think about it, and then left the court.

Although the volcanic eruption came suddenly, he was not completely unprepared.

Ever since the gods descended upon Daxia half a month ago and purchased a large amount of supplies, he had the palace prepare.

I just didn't expect it would come to the point of moving the palace.

Moreover, there are cities and border defenses of Daxia to the north of Kyoto.

According to the news, the cities in the northwest suffered even heavier casualties.

Some cities at the foot of the mountains were directly destroyed.

And the northernmost part is the concubine's motherland, Liang State.

Since the imperial concubine married in, there has been no dispute between the two countries for more than ten years.

The imperial concubine has been unable to eat or sleep these days, worried about the safety of her motherland.

When the Liang State was affected by the wildfire, the people would definitely migrate to the north and east.

They should not migrate to the southern territory of Daxia as there is a volcanic eruption blocking their way. In addition, the King and Queen Mother of Liang love the concubine very much, so the northern territory of Daxia is still guaranteed.

Moving the palace is not an easy task, and there have been only a few such moves in history.

The king's relocation of the palace will have a huge impact on the country, the people, and neighboring countries.

The impact of this incident made even this seasoned king of a great country feel troubled.

As soon as Emperor Mingde arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Concubine's Palace, he heard a servant report that Princess Yaochi had returned to the palace and was now in the Imperial Concubine's Palace.

He hurried in and looked at his most precious daughter rushing towards him.

Emperor Mingde's brow, which had been furrowed for two days, finally relaxed.

"Yao Chi is back? Child, the palace is so dangerous now, you should run south." Emperor Mingde took his daughter's wrist and walked to the upper seat and sat down.

Yao Chi sat next to Emperor Mingde, hugging her father's arm coquettishly, "Father, didn't you send a message to your daughter to come back quickly?

I was so worried, I thought something serious had happened."

Emperor Mingde patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I've completely forgotten. I'm really getting old.

It was a miracle that allowed you to come back, and now it seems to have come true. Previously, a notice was issued to the whole country to stockpile supplies, and food and water were a must.

The situation is pretty good at the moment, and every household has enough water for a few days.

However, the poisonous fog caused by the volcanic eruption has not yet disappeared, and the death toll is increasing every day. Today, the court officials proposed moving the palace to the south.

I am also hesitating."

After hearing this, Yao Chi understood Emperor Mingde's concerns.

Moving the palace is a big deal. It is impossible to give up the perfect and magnificent palace unless it is absolutely necessary. The palace is not only their home, but also the backbone of Daxia.

"Father, when I just came back from the south, I found that the smoke seemed to have dissipated.

Moving the palace is indeed a big deal, otherwise we should send someone out to collect information.

Calculate whether the smoke can recede?"

Emperor Mingde, who had been irritable for most of the day, calmed down a lot. He laughed a few times and ordered all relevant officials to go for testing.

Princess Yaochi hurried back and had not yet spoken a few words to her mother. Emperor Mingde saw that the mother and daughter had something to say, so he went to the imperial study.

Princess Yaochi looked at Concubine Liang's red and swollen eyes, and was also worried about the safety of her maternal grandfather, the State of Liang.

"Mother, how is the situation with my grandfather?"

When Concubine Liang heard her daughter ask this, tears welled up in her dry eyes again.

"Your grandfather sent me a letter saying that a volcano erupted in the northwest mountains, and our Great Xia was the least affected.

However, a large-scale volcano erupted on the Liang State side, and the entire city near the mountain was destroyed.

The Liang Kingdom also suffered heavy casualties, and the smoke was so severe that the sky and the earth were pitch black.

The crops were about to be harvested, but now they are all gone.

Fortunately, your grandfather received a secret order from your father to let the people store supplies, otherwise, they would not be able to survive these few days.

Your maternal grandfather has already planned to move the capital to the southeast, first to Fuya City in the southeast.

We’ll figure it out later.”

Yao Chi wiped away Concubine Liang's tears and gave her the drawing paper in her arms.

"Mother, stop crying. Your eyes are about to break. Look, I met someone when I went out this time. Who does he look like?"

Concubine Liang opened the drawing paper and stood up in shock.

"This!! What is this?? This person looks so much like your uncle!!" Concubine Liang wiped her eyes directly with her sleeves.

"Yao'er, who is this? How old is she this year?" Concubine Liang excitedly grabbed Yao Chi's arm, her hands shaking.

"Mother, don't get excited, this is what I encountered at the post station.

Her name is Jiang Yue, she's fifteen this year, and she's the third daughter of a concubine from the confiscation-stricken General's mansion. I ran into her at the post station and had her portrait painted, which I'm bringing back for you to verify.

Yao Chi helped Concubine Liang sit down and asked about the doubts in her heart.

"Mother, they say twins look identical, but Jiang Yue doesn't look like you. Also, I haven't seen my uncle in years, so I wasn't sure at the time.

Can this be confirmed to be my aunt's child?"

Concubine Liang's heart was pounding at this moment. How could she calm down? She had been looking for this sister for thirty years!

"You don't know, we are sisters. I look like your grandfather, and your aunt looks like your grandmother.

Our situation has also been recorded in history books and is regarded as an auspicious sign.

Since ancient times, twins have been considered an ominous sign and will bring disaster to the family when they are born.

But if twins look completely different, it's considered a good omen, especially if they're a boy and a girl, as in our case."

Her mouth was dry from crying, and Concubine Liang took a sip of water, "So it's normal that your aunt's child doesn't look like me. You just said that the child is the illegitimate third daughter of the General Guardian's Mansion?

Damn it! I, the Fifth Princess of Daliang, didn't even become the principal wife!

How dare they? !

I originally wanted to marry your two countries because of the marriage, and I also wanted to come to Daxia to look for your aunt, so I took the initiative to marry your legitimate princess.

But your aunt! She is the fifth princess of Daliang! The youngest princess!

You said Jiang Yue is the Third Miss, which means your aunt is in the Jiang family. Have you seen your aunt?

Concubine Liang became excited again, holding Yao Chi's hand and looking at her expectantly.

Yao Chi lowered her head sadly, "Mother, I asked Jiang Yue, her mother... aunt... died when she was six years old. Mother?!"

Before Yao Chi could finish her words, Concubine Liang's eyes went dark and she fainted.
