Chapter 141: A Circle of Icebergs on the Seashore
Jiang Yue helped Concubine Liang find a place to sit, and suddenly everyone felt a tinnitus.
There was a dinging sound, which made everyone's ears feel uncomfortable.
Some people even had bleeding eardrums, and many people screamed in pain.
The shaking of the earth was getting smaller and smaller, and the strongest shaking was about magnitude 6.
Now it gradually stopped, and everyone covered their ears in different postures.
After covering it for about ten minutes, the uncomfortable feeling finally disappeared.
Everyone stood up and looked around.
Most of the houses are still in good condition, but some old ones have collapsed.
People lived in new houses and the old houses were used as warehouses, so no casualties were caused.
Worried about whether there would be aftershocks, Emperor Mingde ordered not to return for the time being.
People were assigned to check on the people's situation, and others were assigned to check on the poultry breeding areas and greenhouses.
After half an hour, the people standing in the snow felt colder and colder.
I was shivering from the cold and could hardly stand.
Emperor Mingde saw that it was temporarily safe and there were no more aftershocks, so he ordered everyone to return to their rooms and pack up their things.
Everything except the brazier was piled at the door so that in case of another earthquake, we could escape in time.
Jiang Yue looked at her watch. It was already past four in the morning.
Prince Rong led his men around and issued orders one after another.
When passing by Jiang Yue, he stopped and looked at her deeply.
Jiang Yue felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and was about to speak.
The deep voice of the man in front of him sounded, "Are you okay?"
He was talking to the sisters, but his eyes were looking at Jiang Yue.
Yao Chi was in a panic and did not notice that her brother was acting strangely.
He quickly waved his hands and said, "We are fine, Third Brother, you can go and do your work."
Jiang Yue nodded along with her sisters to show that she was fine.
Prince Rong hesitated to speak, pursed his lips, and ran away quickly with Mo Yu.
Mo Yu followed behind, looked at Jiang Yue and then at his own prince, and sighed in his heart.
Our prince was freezing on the roof for most of the night, and when he came back he was covered in ice.
He was completely distraught, his face ashen as he sat at the table.
Mo Yu had followed Prince Rong since she was five years old, and had never seen her master like this.
Our prince has always been a master strategist and has extraordinary courage and insight.
He was puzzled as to when he had seen such a distraught look.
Prince Rong blurted out, "Yue'er only treats me as a brother."
He instantly understood why the prince looked like this.
But how could a mere guard like him handle such matters?
Besides, the princess is not wrong.
She treats her master as her brother and has no romantic feelings towards him.
Things like this always have to be based on mutual consent.
Ugh!
It's difficult~
Everyone was tired and sleepy at this moment. Jiang Yue hadn't slept all night, and once her tense nerves relaxed, she became sleepy easily.
Rubbing their eyes, the sisters supported each other and slowly walked towards the backyard.
"Yue'er! Are you okay?" A male voice sounded from behind.
Jiang Yue heard someone calling her, turned around and saw it was Prince Shou.
"It's okay, Lord Shou. It's cold, you should go back quickly."
Yao Chi gradually recovered a little and said to Prince Shou with a pale face, "Yes, we are fine. Second brother, please go back quickly. The weather is too cold and it's not good for your health."
The man smiled and nodded, watching the girls return to the backyard.
He turned around and ordered Lu Bai, "Go ask the kitchen to make some ginger tea for the princesses. It's freezing cold, and the girls are not in good health. Don't get sick.
Oh, and add more sugar to the princess's portion, she hates spicy food."
Lu Bai took the order and went down. Prince Shou was able to walk normally again.
I just had a brisk walk and stood in the snow for half an hour, so I caught a cold and had a cough.
Covering his face with a handkerchief, he coughed softly and returned to his room.
After Jiang Yue came back, Yao Chi didn't dare to sleep alone and insisted on coming to squeeze in with her.
Jiang Yue had no choice but to let Yao Chi sleep in her bed.
I felt confused. The magnitude of the earthquake was not very strong, otherwise the houses would have collapsed.
Where is the epicenter?
Is this the epicenter of the earthquake?
Fell asleep with doubts.
I slept until one o'clock in the afternoon. Yao Chi had already gotten up and gone out, and told Xiao Zhu not to wake Jiang Yue.
Let her sleep, keep the food warm for Jiang Yue on the stove, and bring it to her when she wakes up.
It was still pitch black outside, with only the bright white light from the lights not far away.
It was so quiet that it seemed as if the earthquake last night had never happened.
She always felt something was wrong!
She put on her clothes, covered them with hot packs, and warmed up the meal I had just given her.
The little cousin rushed in and happily pulled Jiang Yue.
"Fifth cousin, there are a lot of icebergs on the beach outside. They are so beautiful. Let's go and take a look!"
iceberg??
Jiang Yue followed her little cousin and quickly ran to the city wall to check, then took out a telescope and looked towards the sea.
More than ten kilometers away from the sea, you can see a circle of icebergs piled up along the coastline.
This shows how high the iceberg is!
This is not a good sign!
There was a big earthquake in the early morning, and their place should not be the epicenter.
The epicenter is likely to be... in the sea!!
This makes sense, there was a large-scale earthquake on the seabed.
The Earth's crust shifted, the seafloor rose, and the thick ice on the sea surface broke apart.
Piled up on the seashore, they formed huge icebergs!
This means that if there are more earthquakes, the seabed will rise higher and higher, and it is very likely that these glaciers will advance inland.
Then aren't these humans doomed?
When Jiang Yue thought of this, he turned around and ran down the city wall.
While running, he told his little cousin, "Cousin, go back and pack your things, we are ready to leave."
She ran panting to the gate of Emperor Mingde's courtyard. She was a frequent visitor here.
All the guards knew that she was the favorite of Emperor Mingde and Concubine Liang, and had the same status as Princess Yaochi.
So no one stopped her, and Jiang Yue ran to the door in one breath.
Emperor Mingde was discussing something with Emperor Yongnian and several other princes. Eunuch Huang heard the noise and opened the door to see Jiang Yue panting heavily at the door.
He quickly bowed and said he was going in to report.
Jiang Yue adjusted her breathing at the door, and when Eunuch Huang came out and asked her to come in, she couldn't wait to walk in quickly.
When I went in, I found that in addition to the two emperors, there were also several cousins and Prince Shou.
Everyone looked at her, and Prince Rong's eyes were full of sadness.
When Prince Shou saw her, his eyes lit up. Seeing that she was covered in snow, he quickly handed her the hot water bottle in his hand.
"Why are you running so fast? Hurry up and cover your hands."
Several older cousins looked at the two of them with mocking eyes. Prince Rong felt even more pain in his heart when he saw Prince Shou taking off the cloak for Jiang Yue.
My hands unconsciously clench up, my skin is dry in winter and lacks elasticity.
In an instant, wounds appeared on his knuckles, but he was unaware of it. He only felt that the scene before him was extremely dazzling.
Emperor Mingde looked at his two sons at the top of the table, sighed, and changed the subject.
"Yue'er, you came here in such a hurry, but what's the matter?"
Jiang Yue didn't notice anything wrong with the atmosphere at all, and quickly stepped forward to speak to the two emperors.
"Uncle, eldest uncle. I just discovered a circle of icebergs piled up on the seashore from the city wall."
