My country is dying

Chapter 363 Existence is Fault
Mi Le was awakened by the sound of "pop" firewood burning.

She looked at Qi Moxuan, looked at the gentle water in the latter's eyes, suddenly withdrew her hand and laughed: "It's fine if you risk your life, I still expect you to be the champion, and you will assist me in the future!"

She patted Qi Moxuan's shoulder and returned to her position. The latter's eyes flickered, and then he lowered his eyes and smiled.

Mi Le picked up a few more fruits and put them beside him, then said, "Since it's late at night, let's all have a good rest. I'll go around and see if I can find a way out tomorrow morning!"

Qi Moxuan nodded, and Mi Le shrank back into the quilt where he slept before. I don't know if it was because of the high fever, but he fell asleep very quickly.

Mi Le woke up early the next morning.

Qi Moxuan was trying to go out with a stick.

Mi Le pulled him into the cave and sat him down on a rock, and then ordered: "Don't move, I will go and look around, first look for something to eat, and take a look at the way out!"

Qi Moxuan smiled slightly and nodded: "Then the emperor be careful!"

After Mi Le agreed, he immediately put on his dagger and walked out of the cave.

It was already bright outside, and she could easily see the environment they were in right now—they were in a valley, the bottom of which was covered with overgrown bushes, and at the end of the bushes, there was a lake with clear water, and obviously, They fell into that lake last night to save their lives.

Mi Le looked up at the top of the mountain again, only to find that the mountain range was surprisingly high, and immediately understood why the assassins didn't find them after they fell!

Although the lake nearly killed them, it also saved their lives!
Mi Le walked out along the broken bushes on the ground, knowing that it must be the path that Qi Moxuan passed yesterday.

The valley was very deep and very large. After walking for a long time, she couldn't find a way out. When she finally decided to continue in another direction, she suddenly heard a faint voice behind her.

Mi Le was startled, and subconsciously squatted in the grass, but when the voices approached, she realized that those voices were somewhat familiar, vaguely like Yungui's voice.

Apart from that, the voice that occasionally answered a sentence or two was even more familiar.

Mi Le suddenly stood up from the grass, looked at the group of people ahead, and rushed over happily: "Hou Junli, I'm here!"

She almost shouted, when the people in front saw her, they were shocked in place for a moment, only Hou Junli, with deep eyes, watched her from far to near.

"You look so bad? Are you unhappy seeing me?"

Walking in front of Hou Junli, Mi Le immediately put his hands behind his back and stood on tiptoe to approach him.

Hou Junli lowered his eyes, and his eyes swept over her body. When he saw the scratches on her cheeks and neck, his eyes couldn't help but deepen a little, and he stretched out his hand to clasp her wrist.

Mi Le followed his line of sight to look at the palm, and then realized the wound on the palm, and immediately tightened his fingers: "It's just a scratch, it's not a problem."

Hou Junli stopped her and said to the back: "The medicine box."

Yun Gui immediately took the medicine box from the person behind him and unfolded it in front of him. Mi Le watched Hou Junli's movement of taking the medicine, and his eyes shrank: "It's not necessary? It's just a minor injury!"

Hou Junli glanced at her, his expression was extremely bad, so Mi Le didn't dare to move, and he obediently let him bandage her up.

During the period, she carefully looked at Hou Junli's expression, and seeing that his expression did not ease at all, she knew that he must be angry this time, so she tugged on his sleeve and said, "I know that I didn't discuss it with you. It was my fault to go down the mountain, but something happened to the river and you were sick, who would I go if I didn’t go?”

"Is the prefect of Bian'an City dead?" Hou Junli looked at her coldly.

Mi Le pursed his lips: "But the river channel has always been your most important thing. What's more, the construction of the river channel has caused a lot of complaints among the people. If this matter is not handled well, what will the workers do if they make trouble? Moreover, I also want to Take advantage of this opportunity to make the people change their views on the imperial court, so I can only go there in person!"

"Then you know, if something happens to you, it won't be just a few hundred people who will die, the turmoil will kill tens of thousands of people in Jinyan Kingdom."

Mi Le frowned immediately: "But I can't just stay away because of the danger! According to what you said, as long as I leave the palace, it will be dangerous anywhere. Do I have to stay in the palace for the rest of my life?!"

"But it turns out that the emperor's coming to Bian'an City did not bring any benefit to Bian'an City. The assassins who killed and injured the soldiers and workers at the disaster site last night were more than a few hundred people?"

Mi Le didn't speak, his face was pale, and he opened his mouth after a while: "So, in the face of danger, shouldn't I take action? Protecting the people, protecting the subjects, is it my fault? Or do you think that assassins kill me? Wrong? Or rather, my existence is wrong?"

Hou Junli closed his eyes and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a call from afar.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Qi Moxuan in blue clothes standing not far ahead with a stick, looking at them peacefully.

Hou Junli stared at Mi Le's arm suddenly, "Have you been with him these two days?"

Mi Le was already annoyed by what he said before, but when he heard him use this questioning tone, he became even more angry: "Not only are we together, he is also my savior, if it wasn't for him these two days, I would have died long ago .”

As she said that, she broke free from Hou Junli's arm and walked to Qi Moxuan's side: "Why did you come out? Didn't you let you rest inside?"

Qi Moxuan glanced at her, then looked at Hou Junli in the distance, and then slowly said: "I saw that the emperor has not returned, and I was worried about the emperor's safety, so I wanted to come out and have a look..."

His eyes met Hou Junli again, and he stopped talking. Mi Le raised his head and saw Hou Junli walking over from the other side.

She looked away immediately, and Qi Moxuan's voice of saluting came from beside her.

"Your Majesty has met the Regent."

Mi Le's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. He just raised his head and looked at Hou Junli coldly.

Hou Junli stood beside the two of them, and finally turned his attention to Qi Moxuan: "I heard that the day the emperor was hunted down by assassins, Lord Qi saved the emperor?"

Qi Moxuan smiled slightly, but said: "It's not a rescue, the reason why we can survive is the emperor himself."

After saying this, he raised his head to meet the gaze of Shanghou Junli, and did not avoid his cold and sharp eyes: "The regent's words just now, the lower officials don't agree. Although the emperor is small, he is not a reckless man. On the contrary , Your majesty is very kind and smart, and she is doing her best to save every one she can save, even if the regent cannot understand her actions, he should understand her painstaking efforts!"
