With endless resentment and desolation in his heart, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Originally we ordinary people lived ordinary lives. Although we were not rich, food and clothing were not a problem. Taxes have been increased by [-]%, and since then, we people have lived with our pockets..."

"But I didn't expect it. Less than half a year later, the tax was raised to [-]% more than the original tax, and then the tax was raised every other month. Until today, our tax has been raised to the original tax. ten times that of..."

As the man spoke, he burst into tears suddenly.

Chu Xianyi frowned and wondered, why did the imperial court need so much taxation?Where did the money go?
The man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his old and dirty sleeves, and continued, choking with sobs, "But don't say ten times, even if it is five times, we poor people can't afford it! Isn't this sending us to Are you forced to die?!"

"However, those who can't pay the tax will be forcibly taken away by them to build that ghost Changsheng building day and night! Those who are taken captive, if they work slowly, will be beaten to bloody blood. A dead man will be dragged out every few days!"

"Changsheng Building?" Chu Xianyi was puzzled, "What is this? What is the reason for building it? Where is it built?"

The man explained: "The construction of the Immortality Building was originally proposed by the Wizard Ska. The Eternal Life Building has 99 floors. I heard the Wizard Ska said that as long as the Eternal Life Building is built and a ladder is used to reach the top, the emperor will see the immortals in the sky. You can obtain permanent immortality. The emperor wanted to complete the project within six years, so he sent people to arrest a large number of young men who could not afford to pay taxes. In just a few years, tens of thousands of people died because of the Immortality Tower! "

"Ridiculous!" Chu Xianyi frowned even more, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine floors?How ridiculous!
Not to mention whether it can be done, even if it can be done, it will not be possible to complete the project within six years, even if it is completed one day in the future, the so-called eternal life after seeing the fairy elder is simply ridiculous!
The man's eyes were red, his choked voice became louder, and his tone was full of extreme anger, and he continued: "We people were forced to flee, and there are countless refugees in every city. The place can go, so we unite together and want to come to the capital to ask for an explanation, but we are too hungry all the way to the capital, the capital is heavily guarded, there are much more officers and soldiers than other places, we have no chance to contact the imperial city !"

"We can only linger here, and when they are chased and killed by the people from Dali Temple, we have to run around, and our lives are worse than street rats!"

After hearing this, Chu Xianyi felt mixed feelings in her heart, and suddenly a strange and extreme hatred and anger surged towards Wei Junlin in her heart.

Although she is his concubine, she always felt that the former her must not have loved Wei Junlin, and even hated him.

suddenly.

A gust of wind came, and suddenly lifted the veil of Chu Xianyi, blowing her thin veil away.

Suddenly there was a woman in the crowd, seeing her exposed face, her eyes widened in shock, and she subconsciously shouted: "This...isn't this the daughter of General Yongsheng, the Miss Chu family, Chu Xianyi?!"

Storage... fiber... instrument?

Chu Xianyi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, she and he thought the name was so familiar!
That person said that his original name was Chu Xianyi?Also said that she is the daughter of General Yongsheng?

Could it be that Wei Junlin said that she is the eldest daughter of the county magistrate of Wanzhou, and her name is Shen Rou, is it true?
Shan'er, who was on the side, turned pale with fright when she heard what this person said. She immediately glared at the person angrily, and reprimanded: "You ignorant woman, what nonsense are you talking about? The daughter of the Chu family has already Killed by the Holy Order, our concubine Rou is the eldest daughter of the Wanzhou county magistrate, not a criminal who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, I think you are old and confused, don't want this eye!!"

Shan'er suddenly gave a look to indicate that one of the imperial troops led by Pei Wu was about to go to the woman with a sword and goug her eyes out.

Although Pei Wu, as Wei Junlin's personal bodyguard, led the forbidden army to guard Concubine Rou on this trip, Wei Junlin still had some doubts in his heart.

Therefore, several of them obeyed Shan'er's orders.

However, at this moment, Pei Wu seemed to be a little absent-minded, and his eyes turned to a secret alley not far away, looking at the person he was thinking about day and night.

Ji Nian and Huang Xun, who hadn't shown up for a long time, heard the woman call Chu Xianyi's name, they saw Dali Temple and the Imperial Army, and they wanted to flee in a hurry, so they stopped in their tracks.

Ji Nian's eyes widened, and he looked at the most conspicuous woman in the crowd. Her eyes were full of disbelief, is she really the princess?The princess is still alive!She is really alive!

Ji Nian was so excited that he wanted to run out to meet her immediately, but Huang Xun, who was more calm, stopped her immediately.

He whispered to her: "Good luck! Let's calm down first. There is something wrong with the way the princess looks. She seems to have forgotten who she is. It must be the hypocrite Wei Junlin who made her lose her memory and imprisoned her in the palace. , we have to go back and think about countermeasures to save the princess!"

Ji Nian's excited emotions calmed down instantly because of Huang Xun's words, but she was still reluctant to leave. For four years, she always thought that the princess and prince were killed by Wei Junlin. She really wanted revenge, but she was really weak , and she had to take care of Xianhua and Xianye.

"Stop!" Chu Xianyi yelled at them sharply, his eyes full of killing intent.

The words fell, suddenly.

She felt that she was slapped severely by the people around her, and her head went dizzy, as if she had passed out.

Shan'er had no choice but to signal a forbidden soldier to reach out and knock her out, but the Holy Majesty ordered her to never let her think of the past and her identity!
And tell her that this is the top priority other than Chu Xianyi's life!
Moreover, if she were to know her true identity and recall her memories, I am afraid that with her current weak body, she would be so angry that she would faint to death!
Life is in danger!

Ji Nian, who was hiding at the entrance of the alley, saw Chu Xianyi being knocked out, his eyes were reddened with distress, and Huang Xun, who was next to him, suddenly put his hand on hers, and squeezed her tightly to comfort her.

Pei Wu, who had been watching them all the time, felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw their intimacy. He slowly followed Ji Nian's line of sight.

Only then did he notice that the fiber storage instrument was knocked out.

Pei Wu immediately stepped forward nervously, pulled Chu Xianyi into his arms, and said sternly: "What are you doing? How can you do this to her?!"

Shan'er looked at Pei Wu coldly, and said in a cold voice unceremoniously: "Guard Pei, please don't forget your duty and what the Holy Majesty told you! Concubine Rou is the eldest daughter of the county magistrate of Wanzhou. , and Guard Pei please keep it in mind! So now that Concubine Rou is tired, it's time to go back to the palace to rest!"

Pei Wu gritted his teeth, clenched his hands, and glared at Shan'er angrily, but he had no choice but to let Chu Xianyi let them take them back to the palace, and...

Ji Nian looked at Chu Xianyi who was being brought into the sedan chair, and for a moment, couldn't help but want to rush forward regardless, but she was weak and weak, she couldn't do that yet!
This feeling is really painful!
However, the one who felt the pain was Pei Wu, who was only glanced at by Ji Nian when he was about to flee in a hurry.

He had to go back to the palace with them now. The person he had missed for four years could not even say a word at this time. His heart hurt so much.

When approaching the gate of the palace.

Chu Xianyi slowly opened her eyes, Shan'er was a little surprised, thinking she would wake up in another hour.

Chu Xianyi looked at the surrounding environment in a daze.

She is...

Chu Xianyi couldn't help looking at Shan'er, and asked suspiciously, "Why am I in the sedan chair?"
