"After doing so much work, you are so exhausted! Falling ill? Humph! I have paid them a lot of wages, but now I don't have any spare money to treat their illnesses!"

The supervisor lowered his head guiltily after hearing this. In order to please Princess Lan Rong, the emperor allocated tens of thousands of taels of real gold and silver, part of which was to recruit workers, but in fact, [-]% of them were taken advantage of by the people above. Button it into your pocket layer by layer.

The remaining bits were ignored by supervisors of all sizes on the pretext of providing daily meals, but in the end the food provided to the workers was only some clear soup with little water, and was not even enough to satisfy their hunger.

In short, what actually reaches the hands of the workers is actually no wages at all.

However, the emperor, who was indulging in wine pools and meat forests all day long, did not notice the guilty reaction of the overseer.

Lan Rong walked out from the side at this time. She had heard everything the supervisor had just reported.

She didn't want her palace to die before it was completed.

"My father may have encountered some difficulties. Rong'er may be able to take care of his worries."

"Oh? I wonder if Ronger has any suggestions?"

Lan Rong showed a submissive and gentle smile, "The women in our court are not weaker than the men. If we recruit some strong women, the project may be completed quickly."

Hearing this, the emperor who loved his daughter nodded repeatedly, "Rong'er is so smart that he actually thought of such a good idea!"

The leader of the supervisor lowered his head and said nothing, but he was quite surprised by Lan Rong and the emperor's decision, and for a moment he felt sympathy for the innocent people.

However, this did not harm his interests, so he did not care.

As the emperor's decree was promulgated, the people complained, but if they did not cooperate, they would be forcibly taken away by the officers and soldiers.

People who are brought to the construction site will basically collapse from exhaustion, and in severe cases, they may even contract infectious diseases.

These sick people did not receive any treatment. Instead, they were thrown into a makeshift empty room and left to fend for themselves.

"How could this happen? Why would Lan Rong's reincarnation do such a thing? I can't stand it..."

"That's all, it's just reincarnation. Maybe we shouldn't pursue it so much. Look at the old emperor's appearance. He must have spoiled the princess since he was a child. It is inevitable that he will become like this."

The young man in white didn't speak from the beginning to the end. He looked at the astrolabe in front of him. The astrolabe had gradually become clearer, but the results of divination seemed to be leaning in a not-so-good direction...

Although batch after batch of coolies were recruited, including many strong women, they could not withstand the cruel reality and they died of exhaustion and illness.

The swing of the astrolabe suddenly stopped. The young man in white paused his hand and quickly turned his gaze back to the astrolabe.

Suddenly, the face of the young man in white changed drastically, and he subconsciously shouted: "How could this happen!"

His voice drew the others' attention away from the water mirror, "What happened?"

The young man in white gradually calmed down, but his expression remained serious.

He stared at the divination results on the astrolabe for a long time, and then slowly said: "Lan Rong...she is the lone star of the evil spirit, destined to be in conflict with Emperor Yasheng."

He didn't look like he was joking.

"How is it possible? This should be just a coincidence!"

The speaker was a female cultivator who was close to Lan Rong. When she heard what the young man in white said, she subconsciously spoke for Lan Rong.

The young man in white glanced at the female cultivator without saying anything in reply.But most people present, including himself, knew very well that his divination skills, with the support of the astrolabe, were never wrong.

But they all refused to believe this result. They knew very well that Emperor Yasheng loved his disciple Lan Rong very much. If he knew that the two of them were destined to be in conflict with each other, he might not be able to accept this fact.

They all subconsciously ignored the divination result and continued to look at the reincarnation scene in the water mirror.

The scholar's body was getting thinner day by day, and when he was seriously ill, he was thrown into an abandoned house, surrounded by people who were suffering from the same illness as him.

Naturally, the supervisors would not find a doctor to diagnose and treat them. They could only endure it. The luckier ones could survive for ten days and a half, while those with weaker constitutions died after one night after being thrown here.

"What's the use of these people staying here? We have to provide them with food every day and they can't work. It's a waste of resources!"

"If you ask me, just send them back."

"This won't work. When people outside see the people who come in to work like this, they won't be willing to come to work. It's not a good thing for us."

"Then what should we do? There are more and more people in that house, and you can smell the stench coming from it when passing by. It's really disgusting. I almost vomited after eating last night!"

"In my opinion, they won't live long anyway, so it's better to just bury them!"

"Hey, don't tell me, this is really a good idea! I can't stand those people for a long time, they make me tired just looking at them!"

Several overseers gathered together and discussed something fiercely. Human life seemed to be a meaningless thing in their mouths.

Soon, they made up their mind to "deal with all" these sick and weak people, and scholars were among these people.

These innocent workers, men, women, old and young, although they were dying, they tried hard to survive. They never thought that their life and death could be decided so easily.

"No...don't kill me, sir, please, I can still work!"

"I can do it too, I, ahem, I can still persist..."

The scholar was not willing to die like this, and begged hard: "Please... please give us another chance. We will not waste food. When we recover, we will definitely make up for the owed projects."

But the supervisor ignored their pleas and had a big pit dug and buried all these people in it...

Everyone watched helplessly as Emperor Yasheng's reincarnation died indirectly in Lan Rong's hands, feeling a sigh of relief in their hearts.

All the disciples looked at each other and felt mixed emotions.

One person was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "The character of the reincarnated person will mostly be affected by the original character. If this is the case, Lan Rong is really not worthy of the sacrifice of the Lord God!"

As soon as these words came out, the others pursed their lips and remained silent.

Even the female cultivator who spoke to Lan Rong at the beginning fell silent, her eyebrows lowered, wondering what she was thinking.

"If this continues, the emperor will probably encounter such misfortunes in every reincarnation! We can't just watch the emperor suffer!"

"Is there any way to save the emperor from reincarnation and avoid suffering?"

"I'm afraid...it's difficult!"
