My country is dying

Chapter 320
His voice sounded hoarse than usual, Mi Le was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "Have you seen a doctor?"

"I've seen it." Hou Junli coughed again.

"You didn't tell me why you were sick!" Mi Le immediately frowned, "Are you okay? Otherwise, you should rest for a few days and don't come early!"

Hou Junli glanced at her, but did not speak, while Yun Gui walked up to her.

"My lord!" He took a step forward and supported Hou Junli.

"Your Majesty, the prince needs to rest, so please leave first!"

Mi Le nodded, and saw Yun Gui supporting Hou Junli to leave, and the latter walked slowly, which didn't seem like a common cold.

Mi Le thought for a while, and quickly ordered Yu Quan: "Let Imperial Physician Nie go to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and give the Prince Regent a good consultation!"

Yu Quan hurriedly responded.

In the afternoon, just after Mi Le woke up from a nap, he heard the report from Imperial Physician Nie, saying that the Prince Regent had indeed just contracted a cold, so Mi Le felt relieved.

And with this peace of mind, something big happened.

Concubine Shu, who was only two months pregnant, fell on the road, bled profusely, and lost her child.

When Mi Le arrived, everything was settled, and Concubine Shu was lying on the bed with a pale face, crying like hell.

Seeing Mi Le, she threw herself into Mi Le's arms, crying bitterly.

Mi Le was suspicious, and comforted her for a while, finally waiting for her to fall asleep, and then had the opportunity to ask the palace servants.

"Why did you fall down when you were doing well?"

The maid in charge of the concubine Shu replied: "It rained just the day before yesterday, and the road in the imperial garden was slippery. It happened that the concubine saw the lotus in the lotus pond blooming and wanted to pick one, but she accidentally fell off the bridge. I came down. There were steps on the bridge at that time, and we couldn't pull it up!"

The person in charge of the palace is a rather mature and stable girl, about twenty years old.

Mi Le looked and looked, and finally sighed: "It seems that I have no fate with this child..."

"The Queen Mother arrives—"

The sudden voice interrupted Mi Le's train of thought, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the Queen Mother coming in a hurry.

She swept over Mi Le and landed on the maid at the side, her face was cold and stern: "What's going on?"

So the palace maid repeated what she had just said to Mi Le, and the queen mother's face was serious: "Concubine Shu is pregnant, you should take strict care of her, how could you let her go to such a place, if the care is not effective, what should you do?"

The palace servants in the front hall were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, and the maid's voice was also trembling: "The slaves are guilty, please forgive me, the Queen Mother!"

"Pull it out and kill them all!"

"Wait!" Mi Le stopped suddenly, and received the Queen Mother's cold look, she turned her head to look, "Mother, my concubine slipped, and I am also very sad, but she slipped and fell, and it's none of other people's business. What's more, she just had a miscarriage and is emotionally unstable, wouldn't it make her even more sad and uneasy if the empress mother dealt with these palace people at this time!"

The Empress Dowager said coldly, "Your Majesty, concubine Shu is pregnant with a dragon heir. If they fail to take good care of the dragon heir, it means that they are not effective in protecting the lord. If so, what's the use of keeping it?"

"The empress dowager has mercy, the emperor has mercy..." The palace servants were so frightened that they wept bitterly and trembled.

Mi Le frowned and looked at the Queen Mother.

"Pull it off!"

The queen mother ordered again.

The guard looked at Mi Le, not daring to move.

These guards in the harem are all carefully selected by Xiao Qi. The power to rule the imperial army is in Xiao Qi's hands. Between the empress dowager and the emperor, the imperial army naturally listens to Mi Le's words.

Seeing that the guards did not move, the queen mother immediately became angry: "What? Even your Ai family can't do anything?"

"Queen!" Mi Le stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother's hand, "Don't be impatient, Queen Mother. Although these people are guilty, they don't deserve to die! Let's punish them to go to the Clothes Bureau to reflect on their crimes."

The queen mother clearly wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

She looked at Mi Le, paused for a long time before saying, "Is the emperor looking forward to this child?"

Mi Le frowned suddenly: "What is the queen mother suspicious of? I will never dislike my child!"

These words seemed to wake up the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager turned pale, looked at the inner room, and then sighed: "Okay, leave this place to the emperor. I'm tired, so I'll go back to the palace first!"

After finishing speaking, he planned to leave.

Mi Le immediately tightened his fingers: "Since the queen mother is here, why don't you go after concubine Shu?"

The queen mother shook her head: "No, there is no need to tell Concubine Shu that Ai's house has been here."

After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager left with the help of the palace servants.

Mi Le watched her leave, and the palace people below continued to cry and tremble.

She looked at everyone and finally sighed.

This is a rule in the palace, not something she can break at will, but luckily it saved her life.

The guards took away all the palace people below, and Mi Le looked at Yu Quan this time: "Let's pick some people for Concubine Shu. In addition, concubine Shu will be promoted to Concubine Shu, and I will take care of the harem for me in the future."

Yu Quan was startled, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not in line with etiquette!"

Mi Le's eyes turned cold in an instant: "It's up to me whether we get along or not."

Yu Quan was startled, at that moment he suddenly felt an awe-inspiring pressure coming, and immediately bowed in response.

And when Mi Le left, he couldn't help but look at Mi Le's back, thinking to himself—the emperor seems to be more and more like a real emperor now!
However, this matter was not played. For the next few days, Concubine Shu kept crying, even though Mi Le comforted her again and again, she still couldn't calm down, as if she had lost her mind.

Xianglan suggested from the side: "Perhaps Concubine Shu had too much expectations for the child. Now that the child is gone, she can't bear the blow for a while. The emperor might as well send Concubine Shu to Nanshan to let her relax, and wait until her mood calms down before picking up." return!"

This suggestion was supported by Xiangsi: "This servant also thinks that what Xianglan said makes sense, otherwise she has been making troubles in two or three days, and the emperor is taking care of everything every day, so how can I have so much time to accompany her!"

Mi Le sighed faintly.

Concubine Shu...it's really a pity.

But the child is gone.

In the future, if her identity is revealed, Concubine Shu and her children will inevitably face the inevitable death penalty. Concubine Shu can still save her life.

With this in mind, Mi Le agreed to their arrangement.

After dealing with Concubine Shu's matter, Mi Le realized that he hadn't seen Hou Junli for several days.

In the past, the two were almost inseparable. She hasn't seen anyone for several days, and she just feels empty in her heart.

Changing into plain clothes, and missing Xianglan Xiangsan to accompany her, Mi Le got into the carriage and went directly to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Maybe it was because the Prince Regent's Mansion was always cold, or maybe it was something else, walking in the bare courtyard, Mi Le was in a trance for a while—until, in front of Hou Junli's dormitory, Yungui and Li Zirong, Gao Yuan, and the rest of the guards knelt down one place.

Mi Le's focus was not on the crowd, but on the strong smell of Chinese medicine in the courtyard.
