Chapter 296: The Face-Slapping Scene is Too Embarrassing
General Xu looked at those ministers and couldn't help but complain in his heart: My granddaughter works for the country and the people, but in your place, she is scary. Really!
Doing good things these days is really like taking away other people's cake!
Seven days later, the whole country was in an uproar because of her words.
Some people were grateful to her and thought that this might be true.
Of course, there are also many questioning voices!
"Oh my goodness, it's raining heavily in the middle of the day. The weather is gloomy and it's so cold that I have to stand outside and not come into the house."
"That's right. The child is soaked to the skin. He must have caught a cold."
"Alas, who said there would be a big earthquake? It is said that the current emperor believed a three-year-old child."
"How foolish! Your Majesty actually listened to a three-year-old child. What a tyrant!"
"It is said that all the people near Lin County moved to other places seven days ago. Such a big fuss... a waste of money and manpower, all because of a three-year-old child's fable. It's really ridiculous."
Some people kept making sarcastic remarks, one after another, and complained endlessly.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. It's better to get wet in the rain than to lose your life. You know how terrible earthquakes are! For such a young child, what's wrong with getting wet in the rain? Can't he just drink some hot water?"
Some people can't stand those sarcastic and mean people. The whole continent knows the reputation of Princess Shengyang, but in the eyes of some people, she is still regarded as a three-year-old child.
"Besides, you were holding an umbrella yourself. Why didn't you hold it for your daughter? I've never seen a selfish person like you. You still have the nerve to say that the child caught a cold and it's your fault that the child caught a cold."
When the old man spoke, his face was full of disgust towards the man.
His granddaughter was once saved by Luo'er's plague-eliminating talisman.
So, let alone standing for half an hour in the rain, even if you stand for a whole day and a night, they will definitely not say anything.
"Are you absolutely certain that it will exist? There will definitely be a big earthquake?"
The man said angrily.
"As long as Princess Shengyang asks me to do something, I will believe it must be true." The man looked arrogant.
"Bah, she saved you but she didn't save me. Why should I stand with you?"
There are many different opinions and although there are complaints, for the safety of the people the soldiers are doing their best to get everyone to leave their homes.
Across the border of Lin County, the people of Xiyue State who were working noticed the movements of Dongsheng State.
"Why don't we leave for a while? I think everyone in the other country has left.
I heard that someone in Dongsheng Country predicted that there would be an earthquake, and by then, the ground would sink, and this area would cease to exist."
"This is simply alarmist. How is it possible?"
"How can such a thing be predicted? If it could be predicted, then our country's national master would have predicted it long ago. Why do we need a three-year-old child to predict it?"
"I heard someone say that the king doesn't want to care about us at all. Their treasury has never been used to save us."
"How about this, let's go hide for a while. We just need to stand in an open area for an hour or two."
"Yeah, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. Let's go. Let's sneak out."
"If you want to go, go out for a while. I have a bad feeling that this matter may cost me my life."
"Then let's go together!"
Some of the timid ones secretly made appointments to get together and then sneaked out.
Although the rest of the people had heard about this kind of thing, they were not afraid or shaken.
Instead, they felt it was a joke.
After all, natural disasters like earthquakes are too far away from them, and such legendary things sound more like nonsense.
However, when everyone was still immersed in the ridicule and doubts about this story.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble.
It started out as a slight tremor, but soon turned into a severe shake that made it almost impossible to stand.
At the same time, the rain in the sky was getting heavier, as if God was cheering for this disaster.
People ran around in panic, trying to find a safe place to hide.
Some houses began to collapse and the streets were filled with dust and smoke.
In the chaos, people's shouts and screams mixed together, creating a noisy scene.
At this point, those who had previously laughed at the story realized that the fable was not groundless.
Although it has been a national order, there are still countless people who do not take it seriously.
They were still hiding in their rooms and playing secretly. In the areas close to Lin County, many people were trapped under the houses and suffered serious injuries.
The same people who were just scolding the three-year-old child for his fable not coming true and blaming the heavy rain for soaking themselves and their children.
At this moment, their calves were shaking with fear. Although there was not a big earthquake in the area they were in, it was obvious that some of their houses had been destroyed.
If they were in the room just now, the furniture in the room would not be fixed in any way.
Even if they don't die, they may still be skinned alive.
The people living around Lin County also seemed to be complaining that they were living a good life, but had lost their land and were moved here.
I was extremely dissatisfied at first, but when I saw how scary the earthquake was, I suddenly felt relieved.
Countless people were lucky to have saved their lives, including those from Xiyue Kingdom, and they were deeply grateful for their own vigilance, which allowed them to escape disaster.
"You, you, you guys... have you heard..."
临县
“Lin County and Xiyue State are so close, but the people of Xiyue State did not flee.”
"We are so far away from Lin County, but we can still feel the fluctuations. I wonder what's going on over there."
"It is said that there are cracks on the roads and mountain paths. In some places, a mountain has even split into two mountains, split in half from the middle."
"It's so terrifying. Who can escape under such intensity?"
"But didn't someone say before that a three-year-old's prediction is nothing?"
Some people couldn't help but look at the man, and the man turned away embarrassedly.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Really...really...very accurate. I'm lucky to have saved my life."
This earthquake frightened countless people out of their wits.
Some people even suffer from body pain for several days.
When the earthquake just ended, everyone was shocked. Obviously, no one expected that a prediction would be accurate to a certain day and time!
This was something they had never expected...
Even though they had recovered now, they still felt uncomfortable all over and their legs were weak when they thought about those things.
Some of them cried bitterly, and some knelt on the ground.
Gradually, almost all of them knelt in the same unified way towards the direction of the capital.
Even the people of Xiyue Kingdom couldn't help but thank a little princess of Dongsheng Kingdom for the fable.
As they watched countless lives fall in front of him, and even countless people wailing in pain.
They lost blood little by little in the earthquake and died in pain, and they were extremely grateful while they were still alive.
They envied Dongsheng Kingdom for having such a king and such a princess, while their own king did not take their lives seriously at all.
Dongsheng Palace
"Your Majesty, a rough estimate of the population loss this time is that more than 500 people are missing. However, compared to such a large earthquake, the population loss has been reduced to the minimum."
"It is true that some people did not cooperate and lost their lives innocently. I, your humble servant, have indeed done my best."
General Xu knelt on the ground, feeling regretful.
Emperor Xuanwu sighed and expressed regret. However, he did not have any extra feelings for such a cunning person.
Luo'er is indeed a prophet and his calculations are really accurate.
The Dongsheng Kingdom felt that without her, it might have collapsed long ago.
However, he was glad that his actions won back the hearts of countless people.
It makes people’s patriotism surge and their sense of happiness overflow.
However, the most troublesome thing next was that the national treasury spent countless silver coins to resettle these people.
I don’t know how to add it yet…
"Your Majesty, the King of Xiyue has written a letter. Please take a look." The servant reported.
Just as Emperor Xuanwu was about to open the envelope, a petite figure suddenly rushed in.
The person who came was Luo'er, who was wearing a dress as white as snow today.
Her hair was combed into two cute little buns and tied with two flowing ribbons.
It's like a lively little rabbit, jumping in, making people want to hug it and kiss it.
"grandfather!"
Luo'er ran happily to Emperor Xuanwu and called out in a baby voice.
When Emperor Xuanwu saw how adorable his granddaughter was, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
He quickly put down the letter in his hand and hugged Luo'er tightly in his arms.
He looked at Luo'er lovingly and said, "My precious granddaughter, are you so anxious?"
"Someone is here to bring you money. How can I not be anxious?"
Luo'er blinked, smiled and prepared to open the envelope herself.
