Chapter 18 Should I Thank You?



Thinking of these things, Xiao Ling felt very upset.

But she didn't say anything, just followed behind silently.

Chu Yi also found a place to sit down.

I don’t know how long it was, but just when Xiao Ling was about to be unable to suppress the depression in her heart, suddenly there seemed to be some movement over there.

I saw a burly man with a face full of flesh raising his arms and looking at the other people around him.

"Fellow villagers! This damned imperial court, how can we live like this?"

"I just learned that just a hundred miles away from us, the old emperor is holding an autumn hunt, cheering for a great harvest this year!"

"Hahaha, a great harvest, but I didn't know that a few prefectures north of Anyang were hit by severe floods and had no harvest at all!

"The imperial court didn't contribute a cent to disaster relief. We were forced to come to Anyang, and we can't even enter the city. We can't survive anymore!"

This person kept criticizing the court and cursing the emperor's stupidity.

Every word was like a thorn that pierced directly into Xiao Ling's heart.

Every word was a slap in her face.

She was already in a bad mood from the beginning and was now extremely upset.

"In Taining, there's no news of disasters in the north!"

An angry Xiao Ling cursed in a low voice, and suddenly turned to look at Chu Yi.

"You are the Shangshu. Since you know all these things, why don't you care about the lives of so many people?"

These words made Chu Yi look over and noticed the anger on Xiao Ling's face.

"I can't tell, you have a kind heart, but you can't take care of yourself, yet you still meddle in everything."

Xiao Ling felt even worse after hearing this calm tone, and couldn't help but retort, "Anyone with a conscience wouldn't want someone to die from a natural disaster!"

"Chu thief, I think all this is your masterpiece. To gain power and seek revenge, you attack the people? Are you... still human?"

The last sentence was almost spoken word by word by Xiao Ling, gritting his teeth and angrily scolding her.

If she had not restrained herself at this moment, she would have wanted to use her status as the emperor to denounce Chu Yi's evil behavior.

Xiao Ling knew very well that Chu Yi must have known all this a long time ago.

And today it is very likely that we will rely on these people to do something unpredictable!
