Chapter 1150: Collapse
Editor: Henyee Translations
The Fourth Prince’s abbey, known as the elegant abbey, held a special place in his heart. Nestled in a serene location adorned with mountains and rivers, the abbey’s vast expanse made it renowned among the noble families in the capital. The Fourth Prince would regularly host grand banquets at this picturesque venue.
Qiao Xuan found herself in a predicament, unable to stir up trouble at the Fourth Prince’s mansion in the capital without attracting unwanted attention from the numerous Daoist masters present at court.
However, she realized she could quietly manipulate the side yard of the abbey without detection. With a focused intent, she activated the roots under the trees, causing them to rapidly expand. The ground quaked, and in an instant, the main yard collapsed into a deep pit about seven or eight meters deep. Even the majestic gate of the courtyard, a symbol of the prince’s mansion, succumbed to the rumbling and collapsed completely.
Fortunately, there were few people around to witness the incident. It was a cold afternoon, and the servants were occupied indoors, blissfully unaware of the astonishing event that had just transpired outside.
The onlookers were astonished by the sudden and massive movement that unfolded before their eyes. Bewildered and frightened, the entire yard erupted into chaos.
“Oh no, the house is collapsing!”
“The whole yard collapsed! Oh my god, is anyone hurt?”
“The gate is collapsing too! What is going on?”
“That was so scary!”
“Someone should hurry to the capital and report to His Highness!”
Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but smile as she felt the panic reverberating through the yard. In high spirits, she stepped into the wagon and resumed her journey.
Little did she anticipate that the people of that era regarded such supernatural occurrences not as supernatural events but as miracles, respecting ghosts and gods with awe and reverence. The incident at the Fourth Prince’s mansion was, in their eyes, a truly extraordinary and enigmatic phenomenon.
Was God just playing around because he was too free? Of course not!
It was a kind of hint to warn the world!
Or worse, it was a warning from the heavens.
It just so happened that during this period of time, the Fourth Prince was very active and forced to set up the Crown Prince. He spread many rumors that the Crown Prince was not worthy of the position, and that the accidents happened because the deity was angry.
However, just when the rumor proficiency was at its peak, the main house of the mansion, which was the fourth prince’s favorite and was very famous in the suburbs of the capital, suddenly collapsed.
That sounded more like a sign from the Heaven!
Also, the Ministry of Architecture had sent someone to check it out, but they could not find out the cause. In other words, everything happened too suddenly and unreasonably! No one would believe that it was not because the heavens were angry.
That was not caused by manpower or geology!
Even the Fourth Prince and Honored Princess Mei were startled. They did not dare to do anything more.
Due to the wide and smooth road, Qiao Xuan and her servant returned to the capital before the sun set.
When they passed through the tall gate and returned to the capital, Lixia and Liqiu let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
