After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Chapter 8: Corruption in the Imperial Court

Shen Qingqing didn't know what had happened, but she felt uncomfortable when she felt the two people's gazes on her and the sadness hanging over her.

She could vaguely sense that this matter might be related to her, and that the trouble might be quite big.

Otherwise, my parents wouldn't have looked as if they were facing a great enemy. You know, based on everything I've felt in the past two days since I was born, I know that the family I was born into is at least high-ranking and noble.

If this is still a problem, then it must be a big deal.

Shen Qingqing was a little confused for a moment. She was just born, so how could this happen?

As a socialist youth, she was born in the spring breeze and grew up under the national flag. Her life was not smooth sailing, but it was safe and peaceful.

Was this life destined to be filled with ups and downs, intrigues and schemes? This made Shen Qingqing uncomfortable for a while and a little hard to accept. At the same time, she inexplicably felt that this should be her fate. It was hard to describe, but it was intuitive.

Shen Lingyun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke in an inexplicable tone, "Today, during the morning court session, the Imperial Master sent someone to the palace to make a respectful performance."

"It is said that he observed the sky at night and found a demon star falling. This is the arrival of a demon woman. It will bring disaster to the country and the people, making life miserable for the people. We should get rid of it as soon as possible."

"This is obviously contrary to the information we received. One of the two must have evil intentions and is eager to create chaos in the world." After Shen Lingyun finished speaking, he stood up and paced back and forth.

Xu Nanshu held her daughter in her arms and said, "My dear husband, I believe my daughter is definitely not the evil star that the national teacher said she was born into the world!"

"Ling Yun!" Xu Nanshu hugged his daughter tightly in his arms and looked at the man in front of him with a pleading look.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingyun stopped with his back to the two of them and remained silent for a moment.

He turned to look at his daughter in his wife's arms. She was curled up quietly in her cradle, with a pair of innocent big eyes focused on his direction. After staring at each other for two seconds, he looked up at his wife again, with the corners of his eyes slightly curved. "Yes, I believe it."

The tone of his voice was not very different, but it made his attitude clear, making both people on the bed relax.

"Since the Imperial Master gave such news, he must have bad intentions. Although the news we leaked yesterday was that a son was born, it is inevitable that someone will come to investigate. As time goes by, it will definitely be exposed. So we must prepare to flee with our family and leave as soon as possible."

"Madam, from today on, all the land and shops in the mansion should be sold secretly. Try to exchange the things that cannot be taken away for silver bills, so that they can be easily carried with you when you flee."

Xu Nanshuo and Shen Qingqing in his arms both nodded heavily with serious faces, showing a tacit understanding.

Seeing this, Shen Lingyun softened his expression, reached out and grabbed his daughter's hand to tease her, while thoughts were churning in his mind.

In the current imperial court, corrupt officials are rampant, the royal family is inactive, treacherous officials are in power, and the imperial teacher holds great power. It seems that it is still unknown whether the imperial teacher is good or bad. These people sit on high platforms, but they only want to plunder the people's fat to satisfy their disgusting desires. They burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil. They are worse than animals!

In recent years, the taxes have been rising year by year, and the people have been squeezed and miserable. Such a court has long been corrupt from the inside out.

He and some remaining officials who still had a conscience had tried hard, but they were powerless to change the situation. In the past two years, he, as the prime minister, had been gradually sidelined by those officials who protected each other, and now he could hardly take a single step forward.

If anyone is not careful and is reported, the whole family will be executed and there will be no place to bury their bodies.

Many former important officials of the imperial court have died or retired.
