Chapter 133: I'll Do What I Can

"Ji Yun, does the Imperial Court not care about this?" An Jiuyue stood on the spot and asked Qian Jiyun after An Gousheng left.

Are the officials just going to watch the commoners starve to death? Or do they simply not care about the lives of the commoners from small regions? Perhaps that's really the case.

Qian Jiyun replied, "The Imperial Court will not fret about floods in a small city. However, since there is an epidemic happening here, they will intervene now. Their disaster response will still vary greatly from their responses to other disasters though."

"You mean—"

An Jiuyue was a little stunned. Although she understood him, she was in disbelief.

Would the powerful Imperial Court really deem the lives of commoners worthless?

However, she had to admit that it was possible. The lives of these people were nothing to those in power. Their suffering was invisible to them.

They only had eyes for the luxury before them.
