My country is dying

Chapter 421
"I picked it up on the road and had nowhere to settle down for a while, so I brought it here."

As Mi Le said, he patted the little boy's head: "Xiao An, follow this brother to eat something first, my brother and this brother have something to talk about."

Mi Le looked at Gao Yuan while talking, Gao Yuan immediately reacted, took a step forward, and stretched out his hand to the little boy: "Little brother, let's go."

The little boy looked at Mi Le hesitantly, and Mi Le smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Qi is outside, he will follow you."

Hearing this, the little boy breathed a sigh of relief and followed Gao Yuan out.

Hou Junli watched the little boy go away, and then looked at Mi Le: "If it is a homeless person, just leave it to the people below to settle down. The emperor doesn't have to take it with him personally."

Mi Le lowered his eyes: "His mother just died, this should be the most frightening time."

While speaking, she thought of something, and suddenly looked at Hou Junli.

Hou Junli met her gaze, paused, but nodded quickly.

Mi Le didn't find anything he wanted on his face, so he looked away: "How do you cooperate with what you said?"

"When people come, the emperor will naturally know."

After he finished speaking, he ordered someone to serve tea, and he went inside to change his clothes and came out. Only then did Mi Le notice that he was wearing light clothes before, but now he changed into the usual black clothes. The dark clothes wrapped around him With a tall and straight body and long hair tied up in a majestic manner, Wei's face was still a little pale.

Hou Junli is still the same Hou Junli, even without the title of Regent, he is still the King of Qi respected by thousands of people!

"How is your injury?"

When Hou Junli turned his head, he saw that she was just sitting at the table drinking tea, and she didn't even lift her eyelids when she was talking.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is nothing serious." He responded calmly, and walked to the window to take a look at the moonlight outside the window.Mi Le raised her head, and saw his slender figure shrouded in the moonlight. From her angle, she could just see his slender eyelashes, and under the eyelashes, deep eyes that couldn't see clearly.

Mi Le withdrew his gaze, took another sip of tea, and looked at the engraving in the corner.

He said Zishi before, but now Zishi has arrived, and there is still no movement, it should be that the person has not come yet - through Hou Junli's expression and actions, it is obvious that he is waiting for someone.

So who is it that can let them know the location of Fuhua Cave?
Time passed by every minute and every second, Mi Le drank three cups of tea and still no one came.

She couldn't help raising her head, Hou Junli seemed to be dealing with official business while sitting at the desk, she was bored and a little sleepy for a while.

Finally, when her head drooped for the nth time, she finally fell onto the table and knocked over the teacup. She woke up, but she didn't understand the situation for a while.

Until there was an extra force on the arm, pulling her away from the seat.

"Is it too hot?"

Hou Junli grabbed her hand to check, and Mi Le saw tea splashed on her fingers, but the water wasn't hot at first, it just hurt her head...

"……fine."

She took a step back and touched her head, Hou Junli immediately pushed her hand away, only then saw her brows flushed.

"You wait."

He entered the inner room, and when he came out, he already had a medicine bottle in his hand. Seeing this scene, Mi Le understood something, and quickly took a step back: "No need, I..."

Before she finished speaking, Hou Junli had already raised her chin: "Don't move."

He involuntarily put medicine on the center of her eyebrows, and Mi Le smelled his aura so close at hand, she had nowhere to look, so she could only look aside.

What I saw at this moment happened to be his desk. There was a pen hanging on the pen holder on the desk. It was specially made by him when she said that the pens of this era were not used well in the past. Her imperial study room, the other one is in Prince Qi's Mansion. In his words, she can have a good pen even when she comes to Qi Palace to do business in the future.

"My lord, people have arrived."

A guard's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Mi Le immediately moved from Hou Junli's side and walked aside. Hou Junli glanced at her, then put away the medicine bottle and said to the door, "Come in."

The door opened, and a man dressed in black walked in. He covered his face with a hat, and his entire face was hidden in the darkness. When he saw Mi Le, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he didn't move for a long time.

Mi Le couldn't see his face clearly, so he tilted his head slightly, and then he heard Hou Junli who was beside him say: "Aren't you looking for a guarantee? Now that the emperor is here, you should rest assured."

The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and slowly took off the hood on his head.

The moment he saw his face clearly, Mi Le was shocked, thinking that he was wrong, and subconsciously looked at Hou Junli.

But seeing Hou Junli nodded, she believed it was true and stared at the man: "Guan Shijie..."

"My minister, Guan Shijie, has met the emperor and the king of Qi." Guan Shijie lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground.

Mi Le only felt that the matter was too unreal, and he still couldn't believe it was true for a while, so he heard Hou Junli say: "Although Guan Shijie is now the son of Guan Lehou, Guan Lehou didn't sincerely regard him as his future heir. We are here to ask for a guarantee, when Guan Lehou's mansion falls in the future, we will protect his Guan family from himself."

Mi Le finally recovered from the shock, and nodded: "If you can help me get rid of the serious troubles in my heart, I will naturally promise you that the family will be safe!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guan Shijie continued, "I don't know much about Fuhua Cave. They are all different, so I can only make sure to inform you the next time he contacts, "

"However, I'm not too sure about these. Guan Lehou is vigilant, and my people dare not follow too closely, so the emperor and King Qi need to investigate the details themselves!"

Next, he told them some other things about Guan Lehou, but what Mi Le cared most about was not these, but asked him whether the matter of Black Fire was related to Guan Lehou.

Guan Shijie shook his head: "This minister doesn't know very well that Guan Lehou won't let me intervene in many key matters. I only know that he is deeply concerned about Guan Chenxuan's death, and he will definitely not let it go!"

Speaking of this, Guan Shijie glanced at the sky outside and said: "I can't leave for too long, it will make Guan Lehou suspicious. If there is news of the black fire, I will find a way to inform King Qi!"

Mi Le nodded, and Guan Shijie put on his hat again and walked out.

Mi Le watched him leave, and then looked at Hou Junli: "Is this Guan Shijie reliable?"

"It may not be completely reliable, but it can be used."

But it's all wise to protect himself, Guan Shijie's purpose is to save the life of his family, but as long as he has what he needs, it will be useful!
Mi Le's heart was slightly relaxed, and with inner responses, they had an extra chance of winning.
