The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

After the three people left, Yun Zhi also walked out and came to Zhou Yifeng's door.

"Snack Buckle"

Not long after the knock, the door opened.

Yun Zhi looked at the person in front of her and said, "We will leave the day after tomorrow."

It was nonsense, but Zhou Yifeng understood it. "Indeed, you won. I will abide by it."

Even he could sense signs of chaos in each decree issued by the higher-ups.

"Pack up and we'll meet in the hall the day after tomorrow."

……

After Lin Huixin left, Lin Xuehai gathered everyone in the family.

"Dad, what happened?"

The eldest son of the Lin family who came in first scratched his head and looked at his father who was sitting upstairs.

"Sit aside first and talk to everyone after they are all here."

The eldest brother of the Lin family nodded and found a seat nearby.

Seeing his father's serious expression, the eldest son of the Lin family secretly thought that something big must have happened.

Could it be that they are discussing the selection of people for this corvée labor?

After a while, everyone in the Lin family arrived one after another.

Lin Xuehai looked at the Lin family members below with a sharp gaze.

"You should all be aware of the announcement this morning. The person who will go to the capital to build the temporary palace will be decided in the next few days."

The Yun family is not like the Lin family, with a small population, while the Lin family has a total of eleven people.

The eldest brother of the Lin family glanced at the second brother, and their eyes met. The corvée labor this time was hard, and the two brothers also discussed it privately.

The second son of the Lin family retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Xuehai in front of him, "Dad, according to the order, it's my turn this time."

Although the wife of the second son of the Lin family had red eyes, she did not refute, but just tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand.

Lin Xuehai looked at the expressions of the people below and said, "Hui Xin just came back. They decided to flee the city as a family."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below was so shocked that they didn't know what to say and were all stunned.

After a long pause, the eldest brother of the Lin family finally reacted, "Isn't this just disobeying the emperor's order? How dare my little sister be so bold?"

"Yeah, will life be easy after escaping?"

"This is too impulsive."

After the chattering stopped, Lin Xuehai said, "Hui Xin came to ask if we want to join them."

"Dad, you won't agree to this, right? You should persuade my little sister. They are finally living a good life now."

"Yes, we can come back as soon as the palace is successfully built."

"Isn't this the end of the road? Why are you so determined? If you run away, won't you just become a refugee or a bandit?"

Lin Xuehai looked at the people making a fuss below, and his mind unconsciously recalled what happened half an hour ago.

His daughter Lin Huixin came to him with red eyes and said, "Dad, my husband and I have decided to flee the city as a family."

She pinched the corner of her clothes tightly. "This time, both the father and the son must go to the corvée. But, that's the capital, and we have to walk there. I... I really don't dare to think about what might happen, so we decided to go together as a family."

She raised her head and looked at Lin Xuehai, "Dad, do you want to come with us?"

Lin Xuehai knew her and Yun Youde's personalities, and they were not the type to be so decisive.

"Hui Xin, who brought this up?"

Lin Xuehai thought about the four members of the Yun family. The only way they could be so decisive was...

"It's Meimei."

really.

"What else did Meimei say?"

"she says……"

Lin Huixin paused, and after confirming that no one was around, she lowered her voice and said, "Tianqi Country... is about to be in chaos. We need to go out and take shelter."

Hearing this, Lin Xuehai walked over to Lin Huixin and said, "Is it definitely Meimei who said that?"

"Did Meimei mention where she was moving to?"

Lin Huixin opened her mouth to tell him the place, but then she remembered what Yun Zhi had told her, "Mianmei said that if you're willing to come, we can meet at our door the day after tomorrow."

"father!"

Lin Huixin tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Let's go together. Being together as a family is better than anything else."

Lin Xuehai patted her hands and said softly, "Dad will think about it carefully. You go back first. If we come the day after tomorrow, it means we are willing. If not, you can leave first."

At this time, the woman beside him pushed him and helped him break away from his memories.

"The children are still waiting for your answer. What are you staring at?"

He took a sip of the tea beside him and looked at the people below who were all looking at him. "Pack up and leave with Youde and his family the day after tomorrow."

"father!"

Lin Xuehai raised his hand to interrupt them, "Building the palace could take years, or even decades. We might not even be able to return once we're gone. Taxes are getting higher and higher, and I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."

The eldest brother of the Lin family said in disbelief, "Dad, no way."

"Okay, let's go clean up now. I still have the final say in this house."

the other side.

After Wang Daniu and his wife saw Yun Youde off, they closed the door. Inside the dilapidated thatched house, the only sound left was the breathing of three people.

Liu looked at the tall man in front of her and said, "Dad, what do you say about this matter? I will listen to you."

Wang Daniu looked at his wife in front of him and his six-year-old son at his feet.

He is the only one who can go to perform the corvee this time.

After he left, no one knew when he would come back, so the mother and son were left to depend on each other.

My wife is weak and my son is still too young. I don’t know if I can survive without him.

Wang Daniu squatted down, "Shuanzi."

Wang Shuan, who was playing in the house, heard his father calling him, turned around and ran into his father's arms.

"father."

"Shuanzi, if I take you away from this home and go to a faraway place, you might not have enough to eat, and you might have no place to live, and you might starve and freeze. Are you willing to leave?"

Many young children don’t understand yet, they just know that their parents are secretly wiping away tears today.

He glanced at his mother, then turned back and asked, "Are Mom and Dad leaving with me?"

"Yes, Dad and Mom will always be with Shuanzi."

"Then Shuanzi will go wherever Mom and Dad go. I want to be with them forever."

"Okay, let's stay together forever."

He touched his son's head and stood up from the ground. "Mother, let's pack up and go to Brother Youde's the day after tomorrow."

"Hey, good."

Li Fugui's home.

Li Fugui was about to speak when he started coughing because of the cold he had caught a few days ago.

After a while, Li Fugui finally recovered and looked at his wife and children. "What do you think?"

Today they are discussing who will go.

Now Li Fugui happened to catch a cold at this time. If he didn't get treatment on the way to the capital, he might die on the way.

His son Li Shun is now eighteen years old, which is the age for marriage. His life may be ruined if he leaves.

Just as they were arguing over who should go, Yun Youde brought the news.

"Boss, no matter who goes, you or Shunzi, the outcome won't be good. It's better for you to follow the Yun family. There might still be a glimmer of hope. Besides, we're a family, and we're meant to be together, whether dead or alive."

Mrs. Wu, who always listened to her husband and son at home, rarely expressed her own opinion today.

Li Fugui looked at his son, "Shunzi, what do you think?"

"Listen to my mother, there might be a glimmer of hope if we follow Uncle Youde."

Li Fugui covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "Then pack up, take the guys we had dinner with, and go to the Yun family the day after tomorrow."

That night, many houses were brightly lit and no one slept all night.
