The Empress' Livestream 371 Earthquake in Dongqing 3

The young man and Wei Ci had of course discovered the abnormal sight when the boy servant discovered it. The two of them eagerly ran to an open space. The vibration lasted for half an hour.

"Is this… an earthquake?" The young man grasped his cloak tightly. Even though the night was still stuffy, he felt a dense chill from head to toe.

Wei Ci's face turned pale. It was as if something had exploded in his brain, making his mind go blank.

When did Dongqing… ever have an earthquake?

At that time in his previous life, he was already in Bianzhou in Zhongzhao. The Wei family in Hejian was weak, so they could only rely on the Wei family in Bianzhou, and they lived at their mercy.

He did not want to join the clan dispute, so he lived in seclusion for a few years and had no fixed place of living. He would occasionally pay attention to the affairs of the outside world.

Because of his old master's appreciation towards him, he only came out to help when the world was in chaos.

At that time, the world was already divided. The nine states and six kingdoms no longer existed. There was a feudal separatism and the struggle for hegemony was already in full swing.

He had studied Dongqing carefully. He rummaged through his memory, but he could not remember there being a news about an earthquake.

"Earthquakes… originate from the lateral Emperor Star…" He looked up at the stars. The strange stars emitted a sense of rawness, as if they were covered with a vague, bloody color. It made him feel chilly. He calculated with his fingers for quite some time and somewhat worked out that the source of the earthquake was from the lateral Emperor Star.

The Emperor Star of Dongqing referred to the emperor of Dongqing. The lateral Emperor Star naturally referred to Shangjing! He was currently very far away from Shangjing. It would take him two months to reach Shangjing, even if he traveled at a top speed.

He was so far away from Shangjing, yet he felt such a distinct shock. It was hard for him to imagine the situation in Shangjing, where the core of the earthquake was.

If he had known that there was going to be an earthquake in Shangjing, how could he have helplessly watched her leave for Shangjing? He would have stopped her no matter what!

Could it be that God could not even bear to see him reborn, and could no longer tolerate him?

"Zixiao… What's wrong with you?" Who dared to return to sleep when an earthquake had occurred?

The young man and the boy servant attending to his studies hurriedly rushed into his room and took some bedding. He planned to sleep in the open space in the courtyard for the night. Everything would be dealt with the next morning.

He spaced out for a while, and found out that his friend seemed to have lost his soul.

"Xiheng… I'm fine. I was just thinking about my nightmare just now… That might have been God's warning…"

He had just had a nightmare, and there was an earthquake after he woke up. Was it not God's warning?

The young man looked worried. "Dongqing… How can it undergo such a disaster? The Emperor neglects the affairs of the state. The court and the commonalty are full of the Emperor's relatives and eunuchs. I wonder how many commoners have died from this earthquake. How many of them could have survived…"

Wei Ci stared blankly into the distance. It was not known if he had heard his friend's murmur.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Putting the matter aside, another matter would soon be discussed.

Jiang Pengji's alertness was far more acute than that of a beast. She had felt extremely anxious 30 seconds before the earthquake. She had never felt so alarmed. Her heart was beating so fast that it was abnormal.

"Don't sleep anymore…" She slapped Feng Jue's back to wake the wild kid, who secretly napped, up. "I'm very flustered…"

Feng Jue looked at Jiang Pengji with a confused look on his face. What did her panic have to do with him?

"Do you want me to give you a massage?" Feng Jue maintained his indifferent facial expression.

The audience in the streaming room laughed out loud at his legendary response. The bullet screens were full of comments that felt sorry for the wild kid. He got himself into some deep trouble.

"Get lost… Who needs your massage?!" Jiang Pengji replied bluntly. Her rude attitude further worsened Feng Jue's impression towards her.

"I think something's about to happen… Go wake Huaiyu up and wait in an open space in the courtyard. I'll have a look in the delivery room."

Feng Jue was about to lose his temper because Jiang Pengji treated him rudely. However, Jiang Pengji was agile and quick. She had already gotten up and gone to the delivery room.

At that moment, the midwife suddenly opened the door of the delivery room and yelled, "Madam is about to go into labor!"

What! At this time? Jiang Pengji's heart jolted. A strong sense of crisis rushed to her brain from her feet. She lifted her hand, pushed the midwife to the hallway, and quickly dashed into the delivery room. The midwife was shocked by her sudden movement and fell to the ground on her buttocks. She seemed to have twisted her waist.

In the next second, the ground shook violently, as if the whole world had turned upside down. The earth trembled and the mountains swayed. The loud crash of houses collapsing blasted into their ears.

The air was full of dust. The horrifying screams were overwhelming.

Everything happened too suddenly. The audience members in the streaming room were utterly puzzled. When they realized what was going on, the screen of the streaming was in a mess. The eaves collapsed with a loud crash, hitting the servant girl in the delivery room. She was badly mutilated and blood sputtered everywhere.

Jiang Pengji's physical potential was unleashed instantly. Before the eaves were about to hit Wei Jingxian, Jiang Pengji hugged her with a thin blanket and rolled on the ground. They barely avoided the danger. The candlelight in the room had already been extinguished. It was pitch black everywhere.

Relying on her intuition and memory, Jiang Pengji carried Wei Jingxian, who was covered in blood, and dashed out of the delivery room. Her vision became brighter with the moonlight.

The ground was still shaking. Jiang Pengji placed Wei Jingxian in an open space and handed her over to the midwife, who was frightened out of her wits.

"I'll go in again to save people. Deliver Jingxian's child first… Feng Huaijie, why on earth are you staring blankly? Get yourself over here quickly and help out!"

Fortunately, Feng Jin did not like complex and lavish decorations. There was only a small pool in the courtyard, and there was no mountainous rockery.

The servants, who luckily escaped, gathered in the open space. Feng Jue was awakened by Jiang Pengji's scolding. He quickly came out to reassure the people.

Feng Jin was extremely fatigued, and was sleeping very soundly. However, he was lucky. The fallen beam did not hit him and only brushed him a little, waking him up from his sleep.

At that time, all of Shangjing City was in absolute chaos.

Feng Jue calmed the people down with a ghastly face and covered his bruised arm.

"Husband… It hurts…" Wei Jing Xian had passed out at the time of the earthquake. The last thing she remembered was the beam that hit her head. The midwife had a strong mentality. Under Jiang Pengji's stern command, she delivered Wei Jingxian's child. She pressed her philtrum to forcefully wake her up… If a pregnant woman did not stay awake at that moment, she and her child would die.

"Jingxian…" Feng Jin's mind was in a mess after waking up. His heart seemed to be in an icehouse, and it was so cold that his whole body stiffened. Hearing the familiar call, he barely managed to regain his consciousness and hugged Wei Jingxian, who was covered in blood, tightly, while he was still suffering from the shock.

"…My stomach… My stomach aches so much…" Wei Jingxian felt a pain in her stomach, as if something hot and damp had burst and drenched her clothes and the bedding. The pain, which gradually intensified, spread to her brain. "Am… Am I going into labor…"

In another place, Jiang Pengji rescued two injured servants and placed them in the open space.

The entire residence had already turned into ruins. The aftershocks would come next. She could only do her best.

Fortunately, the houses in the ancient times were low. Even if there were aftershocks, there was no need to worry about being buried in the ruins.

She dug out some quilts and sheets from the ruins and threw them to Feng Jue. "Put them up and make a temporary delivery room. Get someone to look for a stove and boil some hot water as soon as possible!"

Feng Jue was perplexed and had yet to regain his senses, but his body was already following Jiang Pengji's orders.
