My country is dying

Chapter 385 Tied Together

"Boom."

Lightning split the sky in two, the wind howled, and the boy shivered in the pile of firewood.

"Bangdang-"

The door of the firewood room was smashed open and he was dragged out.

"You little bastard, you dare to steal something, hit me! Hit me hard!"

When the kitchen steward gave an order, the two servants kicked him into the rainy ground, punched and kicked him, and beat him with a whip. They tortured him for an hour before giving up.

When Qinghe found the boy, tears came out of his heartache: "God damn bastard, why are you torturing you again? I'm going to talk to the master!"

"Aunt Qing, don't!"

He yelled in a low voice, grabbed her clothes tightly with his fingers, and put the blood-stained medicine in her arms into her hand, "For mother..."

Qinghe looked at the package of medicine, and finally hugged him and cried out: "Master, why are you doing this? You can't protect yourself, why bother to spend so much time for Madam. I don't want to see you!"

The boy grinned, but just grabbed her sleeve tightly: "Don't tell her..."

As soon as the words fell, he passed out directly, leaving Qinghe in pain.

That year, Hou Junli was five years old.

The emperor was seriously ill and ordered him to assist the young prince to ascend the throne.

He walked to Huan'an Hall step by step to look for the prince, but he couldn't find him everywhere. When he finally found him in the backyard, he fell asleep holding a broken wooden sword.

It was raining outside, and his face was stained with tears. The maid said that the wooden sword was a birthday gift from Concubine Yao on the prince's seventh birthday.

Who is Concubine Yao?The former prince, mother and concubine were imprisoned in the cold palace several years ago, but passed away three days ago.

At that moment, he seemed to see himself in the past.

He took a step forward, took his trembling hand and told him: "From today on, you are the king of Jinyan Kingdom, and no one will dare to bully you anymore."

*
Later, it was still a day of heavy rain. He went on a hunger strike to sign the execution order to kill 3000 people. He threw him into a mass grave and watched him cry in despair under the heavy rain. For a while, he seemed to see his former self again. .

Have to do, have to for.

He brought him into the cave and lit a fire, but she developed a high fever. In desperation, he had to change her clothes, but he discovered a secret that could destroy the entire Jinyan Kingdom.

The emperor is not the emperor, and the former emperor did not have any heirs. Looking at the entire court, there are only a few princes stationed in other places who are related to the royal family. Those princes are born with equal status and no emperor's talent. If you change the monarch rashly Not to mention that Guan's party will not agree, it must be a catastrophe for Jin Yanguo.

Then everything he has guarded for the past three years will be in vain, and the Jinyan Kingdom will also be due to the vacancy of the throne, and the various forces will fight, and eventually fall apart and bleed.

And this was by no means the ending he wanted to see.

He lowered his head to look at the weak girl in his arms. Because of her hunger strike for several days, her eyes were black and her cheeks were thinner, but she was born with such a weak body, but she forcibly endured three days without eating or drinking. Days, just because of a signing and killing order.

He suddenly thought, otherwise, let her continue to be the emperor well.

At least, she is kind enough, and she is considerate enough for the people of Jinyan Kingdom. She is not an executioner who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. Let such a person become emperor, there may be a glimmer of hope for Jinyan Kingdom. After all, even if she is a woman, she is still alive. Negative royal blood!
He thought about it all night, drank all night, and finally made up his mind that night.

So be it, from now on, tie his fate with hers.

*
Dawn broke.

When Mi Le opened his eyes, he didn't remember where he was for a moment, until he got up and felt uncomfortable all over. Then he remembered the hell last night, and his face turned green with anger.

She struggled to get up, put on her outer robe and went outside the hall. Sure enough, Hou Junli was sitting outside reviewing papers, and the sky outside was already bright, obviously it was past the morning time.

She gritted her teeth and stared at the person who was marking the papers without moving, then suddenly took off her shoes and threw them directly at that person.

With a sound of "plop", the shoes just landed on the man's table, and the man turned his head and looked towards the door.

Seeing this, he laughed, dropped the ink pen and stood up, walking slowly towards Mi Le: "Are you awake?"

Mi Le was only wrapped in a robe at the moment, his hair was uncombed, and his face was unwashed. When he saw him approaching, he immediately took off his other shoe and wanted to hit him, but was caught by Hou Junli. Stop it.

"One day, one day, one hundred days of kindness, is the emperor really going to murder her husband?"

Mi Le only felt that his legs were getting more sore, and he couldn't even stand firmly, so he stepped on him suddenly.

However, she didn't wear shoes, and coupled with her weakness, this kick was just tickling for Hou Junli.

The latter glanced at her, then bent down suddenly and picked her up from the ground: "Why are you so angry? I don't know, I thought I..."

"Shut up!" Mi Le stared at him, and in the next second, bit his shoulder fiercely.

Hou Junli gasped, looked at the ceiling of the inner room and said, "Your Majesty still has strength, it seems that I didn't work hard enough last night, or else..."

Mi Le let go of him suddenly, with a look of horror: "Try to say it again!"

Hou Junli chuckled, put her on the bed, and called Xianglan Xiangsi in.

After the two maidservants came in, they wisely chose not to look at what they shouldn't, and after the Mi Le was packed, the two quickly rolled away, and they also gave [-] red dates and barley porridge as a gift.

Hou Junli sat on the edge of the bed with porridge and fed it to her.

Mi Le turned his face away, not even wanting to look at him.

Hou Junli looked at her for a while, then suddenly turned his head away. Mi Le was startled, and quickly shrank back into the bed: "Hou Junli, what are you doing?!"

Hou Junli suddenly looked at her expressionlessly: "If you are interested, eat it obediently, otherwise, I don't mind if I feed you bite by bite!"

Mi Le gritted his teeth and looked at him, and he suddenly brought the porridge to his lips, scaring Mi Le to quickly take the bowl.

"get out!"

she howled.

Hou Junli chuckled, and stood up: "After eating, there are still many papers that have not been approved."

Mi Le gritted his teeth and didn't look at him, so he walked out.

It was half an hour after Mi Le came out again, she stood at the door and stared at Hou Junli for a while, then returned to her imperial desk and sat down.

Hou Junli moved a stack of folders and put them in front of her, seeing that she was still struggling in a daze, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

Mi Le felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy in an instant, and almost fell off the dragon chair.

Hou Junli let out a low laugh and blinked: "The reaction was so big? Did you lose your soul? Or are you still thinking about last night..."

"Shut up, shut up!"

Mi Le suddenly grabbed the bag and hit him, but felt that this was not enough, so he stood on the dragon chair and pinched him. Hou Junli hugged her waist, turned around, and pressed her into the dragon chair, bowed his head Go: "Why are you ashamed? This day will come sooner or later, and you will never be able to avoid it."

Miller bit his lip and remained silent.

Hou Junli lowered his head, crushed her lips lightly, and successfully freed her lips from the jaws. Then he kissed her forehead again: "We are husband and wife, forget?"

Mi Le pushed him suddenly, but couldn't move. She immediately glared at him: "You still have the nerve to say that you are husband and wife? What did you do to me? You last night..."

She couldn't say the words behind, but her ears were all red.

"A villain who doesn't count! Get out, get out of here!"

She beat him with both hands, but couldn't push him away, Hou Junli grabbed her fidgeting hands, and chuckled softly: "Okay, don't make too much noise in broad daylight, or people outside will be disturbed if they hear it." Oh no."

Mi Le was so startled that he subconsciously glanced outside. Although his arrogance was still there, he didn't move anymore and just looked at him angrily.

Hou Junli stretched out his hand and patted her face: "Hey, don't look at me like that, I can't stand it."

Mi Le was about to be tortured to death by this filthy language. He immediately approached his eyes and pointed down: "You, go back to your own place! Don't come up without my order!"

After the words fell, she gritted her teeth and emphasized: "This is the imperial decree!"

Hou Junli let her go and stood up straight. After a chuckle, he saluted her: "My minister leads the decree."

Sure enough, he returned to his seat, and re-reviewed the memorial, with a focused attitude, without the appearance of joking and rascal just now.

Mi Le suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sat up straight, but still felt his back hurt.

Enduring the discomfort, he forced himself to go to the memorial, but he didn't last for an hour, so he couldn't help calling Xianglan to get her a pillow.

When she spoke, she whispered in a low voice, but when Xianglan brought the pillow, Hou Junli inevitably saw her.

Seeing him staring at the pillow with phoenix eyes, Mi Le's face became hotter immediately, and after dismissing Xiang Lan, he glared at him: "What are you looking at!"

Hou Junli shook his head, sighed, and went back to reviewing papers.

After finally staying up until noon, Yu Quan passed on the meal and came in.

But Mi Le didn't want to stay in the imperial study to eat, so he went back to his bedroom directly, and asked Xiangsi to help her bring the rest of the booklets to the bedroom.

Not only that, she also specially asked Yu Quan to ask Xiao Qiduo for a few guards to guard the bedroom.

It's just a surprise that Hou Junli didn't move at all after her precautions were arranged beforehand.

Not only did he not come that night, but he also did not come after morning morning the next day and the third day.

This surprised Mi Le a little.

"Why is the emperor in a daze again? Ever since he came back from the imperial study that day, the emperor has often been in a daze. Could it be that he wants to be the regent?" Xianglan couldn't help but asked.

"Damn!" Mi Le stared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do what you should do, don't stick around here!"

Xianglan looked at Xiangsi, stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly went to do other things.

But at this moment, Yu Quan's voice suddenly came in from outside: "The Regent is here!"

Mi Le was startled, and Zhu Bi drew a long red line on the memorial. The next second, she quickly closed the memorial and threw it aside, and took another notebook while sitting upright.
