Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1811 - 1818: Juhua Rescued (4)

Who knows how much time had passed before the earth’s tremors gradually subsided? Even though it was only a short quarter-hour, to Cai Wei, it felt longer than a lifetime. Although she was in Space, the earth-shattering shake left her ears ringing, her head dizzy, haunted by the shock and awe replaying relentlessly in her mind.

Forcing herself to calm down, she realized the chaos all around; a massive boulder had appeared at the very spot where they had just been. This rock must have rolled down from the mountain. If they hadn’t entered Space, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Has the tremor outside stopped?" Nangong Yi asked in a deep voice, looking somber on his handsome face.

"Hmm, it’s stopped. I don’t know how things are in the Capital!"

Cai Wei was extremely worried about her dad, mom, and siblings, as well as the people of the Capital. How many had perished in this earthquake?

At this moment, Brother Ying’s voice suddenly reached Cai Wei’s ears: "Master, I brought Miss Shen back. Those bandits fell into the crevice, and Miss Shen fell in too. I barely managed to grab her, she’s so heavy..."

When Cai Wei focused her eyes, she indeed saw Brother Ying’s scrawny little claw clutching Shen Juhua’s waistband, flapping down from the mountain top, looking very strained.

Juhua had fainted, unsure if she was injured.

Cai Wei brought them into Space, handed Juhua to The Great Immortal Turtle, released the white-furred tiger, and along with Nangong Yi, rode towards the Capital on the tiger’s back.

Approaching the Capital, Cai Wei once again brought the white-furred tiger into Space and released a horse that was kept in Space. Despite the urgency of the situation, a natural disaster had struck, causing public unrest, making it unsuitable to let the people witness such anomalies.

She and Nangong Yi rode the horse together into the city swiftly. Once inside, they were met by the sight of ruins and destruction throughout the city, with the wailing of cries shaking the heavens—a miserable scene beyond words.

Along the way, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi witnessed and heard many things firsthand. For instance, outside the largest Da Guo Temple, hundreds of people had already gathered—all refugees. They heard that many houses in the Royal Palace had collapsed, even some of the halls inside the palace. Some families had been killed, crushed to death, with others buried alive or with broken legs and heads smashed...

What Cai Wei saw shook her to her core. She instructed Nangong Yi to return to the Palace to take charge while she hurried back to her parents’ house.

"Dad, where are mom and the others!"

Cai Wei had just entered the courtyard door when she saw her dad, directing the servants with a serious face as they moved things around. Seeing Cai Wei return unharmed, Mu Zhongqing felt very relieved.

"Wei’er, you’re okay, right? What about the Emperor? Is the Emperor alright? And my three grandchildren, are they fine?"

"They’re all fine, you don’t need to worry. Dad, where is mom? Are Wen’er and Wu’er and Die’er all alright?"

Actually, the moment Cai Wei saw her dad’s calm demeanor, she knew her family was safe. Otherwise, her dad couldn’t possibly be so composed, but she still wanted to hear it from his lips.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhongqing clasped his hands together in gratitude, saying, "Buddha bless, our whole family is safe, Fei’er sent a letter too, she’s also safe, and Zi Qi is doing well too!"

It turns out that at the time of the earthquake, Wen’er and Wu’er were on their way to the Academy, Mu Zhongqing was on his way to the government office, and young Die’er, playful as always, had been clamoring since early morning to chase butterflies in the garden. Lady Du, doting on the child, carried the little girl to the garden to calm her down... 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

So, when the earthquake happened, the whole family was outside, and thus all were safe. Fei’er, on her way to pay respects to the Old Madame, also escaped unscathed!
