My country is dying

Chapter 409 I'm Sorry

"Don't listen to him, Ai's family is here, hurry up and chase after him!" As soon as the queen mother said this, the guards suddenly gained confidence and rushed forward one after another, trying to bypass the two of them.

Xiao Qi and Gao Yuan looked at each other, and tacitly drew out their swords, and directly fought with the group of guards.

Both of them are top experts, those guards are not their opponents at all, seeing this, Guan Lehou immediately asked everyone to rush forward, trying to suppress them with numbers.

Several imperial guards saw that the situation was not good, so they wanted to go out to report the news, but were beheaded on the spot by Guan Lehou's men.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi's eyes turned cold, and he immediately fired the signal flare in his sleeve.

After a harsh sound, there was a white light blooming in the sky, and then, there was movement outside the gate of the mansion, and the whole ground of Pei Mansion shook.

When a thousand forbidden soldiers broke through the gate and rushed in, Guan Shijie, the new son of Guan Lehou's mansion, crawled in and yelled at Guan Lehou, "...Dad, they rushed in!"

"Trash!" Guan Lehou was hugged by his robe, his forehead was so angry that the veins bulged, "You can't even stop the imperial army, but you are still the son of the Hou family, you are useless!"

As soon as the imperial army came, they directly beat up the troops brought by the Guan family. Seeing this, the queen mother immediately yelled: "Xiao Qi, do you want to rebel?"

Xiao Qi signaled his people to stop, and then saluted the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, today was a misunderstanding, and I have absolutely no intention of disobeying you, please learn from me!"

The Empress Dowager looked at the black imperial army behind Xiao Qi, her expression was quite ugly, but she knew that the situation was over now, if she insisted on chasing down those two, she would definitely not be able to pass the current test.

After deliberating for a moment, she glanced around: "Since it's a misunderstanding, can General Xiao clear these forbidden troops out of Pei's mansion? It's sunny, and those who don't know think that the Ai family has committed some serious crimes!"

Behind her, Guan Lehou gave her a tug, and the Queen Mother glanced at her, while the officials at the back whispered, obviously still not understanding what happened.

Xiao Qi laughed and put the sword away: "I will let everyone leave now."

In the end, he and Gao Yuan looked at each other, and the two of them took the imperial army out of Pei's mansion leisurely.

*
Pei's residence is located in a remote place. Although there is no road in the front yard, there is a back hill with dense trees. Especially in the spring of March, when the vegetation grows vigorously, their figures will be covered by lush greenery as soon as they enter the forest. Covered, people outside can't see it at all.

However, Hou Junli couldn't do it for a long time after pulling Mi Le away. He stopped and leaned against a tree, his face pale as a dead man.

"It's safe here, Your Majesty, let's go."

He spoke in a low tone, his eyes reflected Mi Le's small figure, and the tall green forest and blue sky behind her.

Mi Le was panting. She was already sweating from running all the way just now, and now she had figured out the cause and effect of the incident, knowing that the reason why Hou Junli took her away was to prevent Pei Qing's plot from succeeding.

"Are you still protecting him now? He is clearly trying to kill you!"

When she held the sword just now, she obviously never thought of stabbing it, and it was impossible to stab it, and the reason why Hou Junli bumped into her sword was obviously pushed by Pei Qing behind him!
That man is obviously the younger brother of the man in front of him, but he is so vicious!A second ago, Hou Junli was still desperately protecting him!
"This is what I owe him." Hou Junli lowered his eyebrows.

When Mi Le heard this, he became angry: "So until now, you still don't want me to hurt his life, right?"

Hou Junli raised his head, and slowly met Mi Le's gaze: "... Your Majesty, if the person he is pointing at with his sword today is you, I will pounce on you without hesitation."

Mi Le was so angry that tears came out, and his scarlet eyes fixed on him: "He wants to kill you, isn't that enough? How much kindness is worth a life!"

Hou Junli covered his chest and smiled: "As long as the subject is not dead, no matter how much you get back, it won't be enough."

Mi Le's eyes were full of disbelief. After a long time, he suddenly smiled, but that smile was sad no matter how you looked at it.

"Then if one day either he dies or I die, who do you choose?"

Hou Junli's eyes darkened, and he said after a long time: "I will bring him to plead guilty."

"What about me?" Mi Le pointed at himself and asked stubbornly, "Do you mean to abandon me?"

Her face was close at hand, with tear stains on her face, and even her eyes were red and swollen.

It was only then that Hou Junli vaguely remembered that when she ran all the way just now, she panicked and burst into tears. At that time, he only thought that she was frightened by the previous scene, but now he realized that she was injured because of him.

He stared at the girl's snow-white face, stared at her eyes red from crying, for a moment he just wanted to throw everything away and hug her fiercely, kiss her, and tell her that she was his only one, but reality forbade him to do so.

His heart throbbed with pain, and he heard himself say three words.

"I'm sorry," he said.

Mi Le laughed and cried, and backed away slowly.

"Liar," she said.

She ran down the mountain without looking back, but she ran too fast and fell to the ground, her forehead was hit by a stone on the ground, and blood flowed to the center of her eyebrows.

Mi Le stretched out her hand to touch it, and it was wet when she touched it. She didn't show any expression, but continued to run forward without looking back.

Hou Junli leaned against the tree. Seeing this scene, he just moved his feet, but because he couldn't support himself, he fell directly under the tree and passed out.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?!"

When Xiao Qi met Mi Le, his eyes were full of blood on her face, and he was shocked.

Mi Le stretched out his hand and touched his face and looked at him: "It's okay, I fell down."

Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were red, obviously she had cried.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi didn't dare to be too polite, he just took out a handkerchief from his arms to cover the wound on Mi Le's forehead, Mi Le lowered his eyes and took the handkerchief by himself, only then did he hear Gao Yuan's eager voice: " Your Majesty, where is your lord?"

Mi Le paused, and then slowly looked at him.

Gao Yuan didn't have time to look at the look in her eyes, so he just asked: "Where is the prince? He is still injured!"

Mi Le lowered his gaze again: "You find two people to lift a board up, he should not be able to walk anymore."

Hearing the words, Gao Yuan looked in the direction of the mountain, immediately found a few people up the mountain, and chased after them while shouting.

"Why can't the blood stop?" Seeing that Mi Le's handkerchief was soaked with blood, but the spot on his forehead was still bleeding, Xiao Qi was a little impatient, "Your Majesty, why don't we go back to the palace first, King Qi?" With Gao Yuan over there, nothing will happen!"

When he said this, he thought that Mi Le would not agree, but he heard Mi Le miraculously say "yes".

Xiao Qi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt overjoyed, he asked someone to lead the horse, and took Mi Le back to the palace.

As soon as they got up, they heard a noisy sound from the mountain, and they should have been found.

Mi Le turned his head and glanced at it from a distance, then retracted his gaze and looked at the jungle passing by all around.

Let it be like this, after all, you have to walk your own path, and if you don't rely on it, you won't be crushed, and she made the wrong choice from the beginning.

"Your Majesty, are you back? Is there an antidote?" When Xiangsi saw her, she hurried up to meet her, followed by Imperial Physician Nie.

Mi Le glanced at her but didn't speak, Xiao Qi winked at Acacia immediately, then looked at Imperial Physician Nie and said: "The Emperor is injured, Imperial Physician Nie quickly show the Emperor!"

As soon as she heard that Mi Le was injured, Xiangsi noticed the bloody hole between Mi Le's eyebrows and was taken aback for a moment.

After Mi Le closed the palace door, she untied Xiao Qi's cloak directly, and everyone saw the blood on her clothes.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

"It's not my blood." Mi Le said softly, and stretched out his hand to Imperial Physician Nie, "It's just a bruise on his forehead."

Imperial Physician Nie immediately checked her pulse, and finally said with a sigh of relief: "The emperor is indeed fine, it's just a wound on his forehead..."

He was a little embarrassed, "The old minister should bandage up the emperor first, it's just such a deep wound, I'm afraid it will leave a scar!"

"Then how can I do it!" Xiangsi said anxiously, "The emperor can't leave scars!"

Mi Le took a look at Xiangsi, but Xiangsi didn't speak for a moment, Imperial Physician Nie heard this, stroked his beard and said, "I will do my best!"

After the wound was properly bandaged, Imperial Physician Nie took the medicine box to see Qi Moxuan.Mi Le went to the side hall after bathing in the inner room, where Xiangsi was rubbing Li Zirong's body.

Mi Le stood at the door and didn't go in. Xiangsi saw her and stood up quickly: "Your Majesty..."

"Go on." Mi Le signaled that she didn't have to get up, and then stood there staring at Li Zirong. After a long time, she turned around and left the imperial palace.

In Qi Moxuan's residence, Mi Le met Imperial Physician Nie who had just come out of his diagnosis and called him.

Imperial Physician Nie saluted her immediately: "What is the emperor's order?"

Mi Le looked at him and said, "How many days can Weeping Blood Begonia live without antidote?"

Imperial Physician Nie was startled, and quickly understood Mi Le's meaning: "If I continue my life with silver needles, I can live up to seven days."

Mi Le closed his eyes, and asked after a long time, "Can you keep her awake?"

Imperial Physician Nie hesitated a little: "I can try it, but whether I can wake up or not depends on Master Li herself!"

"Okay." Mi Le suddenly stood up straight and bowed slightly, "I beg Doctor Nie to do my best!"

Imperial Physician Nie was taken aback, and hurriedly helped her: "Your Majesty must not... Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

After finishing speaking, he took the medicine box and left. Mi Le looked at the house in front of him, and then walked in.

Someone in the house just opened the door and came out, it was Pandan.

She was holding a medicine bowl, and there was black residual juice in the bowl, it must be that Qi Moxuan had just finished taking the medicine.

"The emperor is here?" Xiangsi was overjoyed, but couldn't help looking at her forehead: "What happened to the emperor's head?"

"It's okay." Mi Le said calmly, "I have something to say to Mr. Qi, you should stay outside first."

Xianglan nodded quickly, and Mi Le walked in.

There was the sound of Lingling piano coming from the inner room. The man was dressed in white, and his appearance was still so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.Mi Le stood at the door of the inner room for a while, then opened the bead curtain and walked in.

"Master Qi's piano sound is still as pleasant as ever." She smiled lightly, stopped Qi Moxuan from saluting, and sat down beside him.
