My country is dying

Chapter 56 Does Your Majesty Still Think It Is So Hard to Squat?

Hou Junli rested his eyes on the tea table, resting his eyes on his hands, ignoring her.

Mi Le rolled his eyes at him, and secretly lifted the curtain of the car to look out, only to realize that there were patches of lights in the distance. Those light sources gathered together should be the lights of the village.

She was in a good mood immediately, and didn't care what happened to Hou Junli, instead she went to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Ancient nights are very different from modern nights.There are no various neon lights here, no towering buildings, only the dark night and the sparkling fire in the distance.

Even the air is extraordinarily fresh, and the smell of earth mixed with the scent of green grass and flowers makes people feel refreshed.

"Grandpa, we're here."

Outside the car, Yun Gui suddenly said.

Mi Le immediately glanced out of the window, this is just a small forest, what's going on?
Why did the regent bring her to the grove?Murder?
Thinking of this, Mi Le's eyes were full of horror, but he happened to meet Hou Junli's threatening gaze: "Still getting out of the car?"

It turned out that he had got off the carriage at some point.

Mi Le's face was pale, and he got out of the carriage, only to see a cliff-like mountain in front of him.

The regent is going to push her off a cliff?

This way of death is too cruel and inhumane!

If you want to die, be decent!

Seeing that she was not moving, Hou Junli's gaze in front of her turned cold and severe, and his appearance was even more terrifying than when he was in the palace.

Anyway, in the palace, he still took her status as emperor into consideration.

Ever since he got in the car, not only did he ignore her questions, but now he even looked impatient!
Mi Le's heart trembled, but then he remembered that she was brought out of the palace under his watchful eyes, Hou Junli should not dare to kill her so blatantly!
Even if you want to kill her, you have to choose a secret method, which is not like his style as everyone knows!

Thinking of this, she settled down and walked over.

The wind on the cliff was very strong, amidst the whistling wind, Mi Le saw a light source below.

It seems like a small village.

To be exact, it is just a house with a few thatched sheds.

There was a faint cry from below, and Mi Le looked carefully, only to see a woman holding a child in the corner of the fire.

The woman was dressed in rags and didn't even wear shoes. She was sitting on the haystack, and the baby in her arms was probably only a few months old, and she kept making noises, wondering if she was hungry.

Taking a closer look, Mi Le found that the people living there seemed to be old, weak, sick and disabled, and all of them were dressed in tatters and unkempt, which looked like a refugee camp.

And they always look at the intersection consciously, as if waiting for someone to return.

Not long after, a group of men of different ages rushed in.

The place seemed to be boiling in an instant, each of them was embracing the men in their own families. After a while, Mi Le saw the few food brought back by those men, and then the whole family happily shared the food.

"The Regent..." Mi Le couldn't figure out what Hou Jun was thinking, and his voice turned cold.

"Do you know why those men were able to get the food back?" Hou Junli said suddenly.

Mi Le subconsciously looked down and pondered for a long time: "Working?"

The corner of Hou Junli's mouth curled into a slight arc: "You come and tell the emperor."

On the side, Yun Gui immediately stepped forward and explained: "My Majesty, these men do get food by working, but they are hungry all the year round and their bodies are not strong, so basically they can't find work. Those who are dirty, tired, and busy all day can only get these foods. The few foods are the fruits of their day's labor!"

Mi Le couldn't help but look down again.There was very little food, and it was almost finished quickly. Some children were probably still hungry and crying, but fortunately they were comforted by the adults and fell asleep.

Mi Le's throat was blocked, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Some of them work much younger than you." Hou Junli's voice came coldly, "The emperor was born as the proud son of heaven, and the stars are holding the moon. He has never experienced the hardship of running around for a living, but the emperor Have you ever thought that as an emperor, you are a little willful, but what you pay is the blood of thousands of people, and the first to bear the brunt are the people at the bottom of the cliff."

He finally turned his head and faced her, "Does the emperor still think that squatting is so hard?"
