half year later.
Xu Qingyin has been in Yunjin for more than a year.
Sometimes, in a trance, she even felt like a Yunjin person.
Although she tried her best to prevent various disasters from happening, the Queen Mother brought more and more things from the Western Regions to Yunjin.
Xu Qingyin felt that no matter how much she used her brain or even if she really had supernatural powers, she could not stop the fact that Yun Jin's life was getting darker and darker.
What's more, she doesn't even have Yun Jin's bloodline. She is just a national teacher from another family, relying entirely on her own mysterious skills.
In today's Yunjin, people from the Western Regions in the border areas can sell things freely. Even the entire imperial city is filled with the style of the Western Regions, with a sense of underworld, evil and rebelliousness.
Now, the people of Yunjin don’t even have any complaints.
In the prosperous capital city of the past, the streets were filled with children and old people hawking their wares.
Now there is nothing left. Everyone closes their doors and dares not come out.
They were afraid that if they showed up in the imperial city too often, they would be caught by the Empress Dowager and fed to the poisonous insects.
The lives of the people of Yunjin are not even as valuable as the poisonous insects in the Western Regions.
The lives of these people are like those of livestock. Even Xu Qingyin is thinking that even if the price is her own life, she will do her best to provide a roof over their heads.
But as time went by, she found that she couldn't do it. She had no way to obtain all her rights independently and could only rely on the Queen Mother.
If you want to face the Queen Mother, you have to do many things that go against your conscience.
Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder: Why is my life so tiring? My heart is always thinking about the people, but my hands are always stained with the blood of the people for the Queen Mother?
Is she a good person or a bad person?
She had nothing left but pain.
Nowadays, even those who attend court are listless.
Those ministers who once vowed to create a new life for Yunjin had either been dragged out and beheaded by her, or had become numb to the affairs of state and only hoped to survive in a corner and protect their own lives and property.
They originally thought that the entire country was now like a purple-black poisonous insect soaked in a jar, which was already the worst outcome.
But I never expected that this was just the beginning.
While attending court, Xu Qingyin had not slept the night before.
Then I heard the Queen Mother's new decree:
"In the future, people from the Western Regions will move into our Yunjin Imperial City. Do you have any objections?"
When he first heard this, Xu Qingyin thought he had misheard.
Large quantities of things from Yunjin were moved there, just like paying tribute to the Western Regions, and that would have been fine.
After all, the Queen Mother is from the Western Regions, so she has no way to say anything. But now people from the Western Regions are about to move in. Isn't this a blatant violation of their sovereignty?
Her hands were shaking under her sleeves.
Those ministers who had long been accustomed to and even indifferent to the Space Lady's behavior, also showed shock on their faces when they heard the Queen Mother say this.
Xu Qingyin finally managed to calm down, and then hurriedly asked:
"The people of the Western Regions have always been on good terms with us in Yunjin, so that's natural. I just wonder how many people from the Western Regions the Queen Mother plans to allow in this time? If we can achieve a positive relationship between the two dynasties, it would be a wonderful story."
She still held out a glimmer of hope.
She also hoped that the Empress Dowager could have a little humanity in her heart.
But there is no doubt that as long as you gamble on the Empress Dowager's humanity, you will never succeed.
"Of course not. People from the Western Regions can come to our imperial city at will in the future. If civilians in the Western Regions have a hard time, they can move here, and the court can provide them with disaster relief grain. Doesn't this further demonstrate the diplomatic relations between the two dynasties? Why are you all so unhappy? Are you dissatisfied with what I said?"
When he said this, although the curtain in front was just a layer of gauze.
They could clearly feel that the Queen Mother was smiling but not really smiling, and they were so scared that they quickly shook their heads:
"What are you talking about, Empress Dowager? You're saying this for the sake of Yunjin. How could we not be satisfied?"
But when this decree was issued, everyone was in an uproar.
They all knew that if anyone in the court had a say, it was Xu Qingyin. The Zhaixing Tower was suddenly packed with people.
"Master Xu, you have the best relationship with the Queen Mother. You must stop these things from happening! And you don't know how the people in the Western Regions are... How could they be so easily..."
"Yes, if we let them come and our people of tomorrow, will there be any way for us to survive?"
If the Empress Dowager follows her methods, she will definitely give priority to people from the Western Regions in everything.
Empress Dowager Guang probably has hundreds of relatives, so what about the nobles in the Yunjin Imperial City? Are they supposed to kowtow to those Western Regions people?
But this time Xu Qingyin was completely unable to stop it.
Because from what she had done for the Empress Dowager before, it can be seen that she had planned this plan a long time ago.
During that period, the imperial city had already changed into the unique color of the Western Regions.
People outside kept knocking on the door. Xu Qingyin closed the door of Zhaixing Tower tightly and buried her face in the documents. She hadn't slept for three days and three nights.
Lu Zhou didn't handle official business, and even the Queen Mother didn't handle government affairs. All the things fell on her alone.
But the bad news kept hitting her one after another, and she really couldn't bear it anymore.
She wanted to cry...
If people from the Western Regions come this time, it will be too late for anything to happen in the future.
The Empress Dowager probably thought that people like Yun Jin would never be able to confide in her no matter what.
If people from the Western Regions could be moved here, then there would be more and more people around her.
Then she can't be saved even if she works herself to death in the future.
Just when she was alone here feeling sad and desperate, the servants outside the door suddenly knocked on the door again and again:
"Miss, Miss, please open the door!"
Because I am too busy with work, I now eat and sleep in Zhaixing Tower, and I haven't heard Rouer's voice for a long time.
"Why are you so anxious?"
This is strange, because her family never disturbs her on weekdays because they know she is busy with work.
"Miss, please open the door quickly! His Highness Lu Yan is awake!"
