Miao Li went back to make up for a sleep, and stayed in Qingquan Palace for a long time in a nervous mood. No one has come to look for her, so I don't think there is a big problem, but I didn't expect to come over.

There's really no escape.

You can change the medicine once after you get up, and change it again before going to bed, and you don't need to be remembered all the time. It's annoying, but it's also a little helpless.

Anyway, Zhou Shuxuan really wanted to protect her at that time. saved her, this kindness can't be pretended not to see. She's not an ungrateful person either, it's just a change of medicine, just a change.

Miao Li returned to the Longde Palace, it was almost dark, and it was time for dinner. There were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and I didn't need to ask to know that I wanted her to eat here.

In fact, she didn't have much opinion on eating, she just didn't want to be so confused and make people feel uncomfortable. His actions in the morning, plus his actions last night, were telling her. He wouldn't keep his distance any longer, he would keep getting closer to her.

He must have wanted them to reconcile, but she had lost hope in it.

When Zhou Shuxuan saw her, he beckoned to her very plainly, "Come over for dinner." ”

Miaoli didn't refute, nor did she not cooperate, so she obediently sat down.

Zhou Shuxuan was suddenly a little deflated, feeling that it was good for her to ridicule him with words like yesterday, and it was better than not saying a word like now.

Miao Li seemed to have a good understanding of the process, took the bowl handed over by Gao Fu, scooped the porridge and sent it to his mouth, and asked very casually: "Does the emperor feel better?" ”

She opened her mouth and felt that it was better not to speak, erasing the alienation, and there was nothing left in her words.

Zhou Shuxuan drank the porridge she put to her mouth and said, "I don't feel like there is any change, it may take a while to get better." ”

Miao Li said while feeding: "Then it's better to let the imperial doctor take a look, maybe the concubine has done something bad." ”

Zhou Shuxuan lowered his face and said, "No need. ”

She must have wanted to use this to escape, and then blame everything on the imperial doctor, this little bit of caution, he saw it clearly.

After that, the two didn't talk again, and Miao Li stayed here obediently after eating, and didn't say that she wanted to go back. made Zhou Shuxuan even more uncomfortable, she was still like this, obedient and annoying for no reason.

He didn't have the idea of dealing with the twists and turns today, after eating and letting Miaoli change the medicine. He took a random book from the table, handed it to her, and said, "Read it to me." ”

I thought she would refute or not cooperate, but I didn't expect her to open the book and read it.

Listen to everything, it's what he wants. But when she did, he still felt that something was missing.

What he gave her casually seemed to be this romance, and he read the whole book when he was very young, and he knew the stories in it by heart. Listening to her read page by page, I always felt that something was missing in it. Then he looked up and asked, "Have you missed a chapter?" ”

Miao Li didn't seem to understand very much, and looked at him suspiciously.

Zhou Shuxuan explained: "After the grass boat borrowed arrows, why did it borrow the east wind, and there was still a section in it? ”

Miao Li closed the book and said: "I'm afraid that if I say something in the emperor's heart, the concubines don't dare to read it." ”

finally had a little unreasonable reaction, and Zhou Shuxuan didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Barely it can still be regarded as happy, chuckled, and asked: "You say that I am a bitter meat trick, so what if I am a bitter meat trick?" ”

Miao Li suspected that he was doing it on purpose, and his reaction seemed to be wrong. didn't take the assassination as a thing, but after it happened, he spent more of his thoughts on her, so as to blackmail him into doing many, many things.

If it's not a bitter ploy, she really doesn't believe it. However, he can't be 100% sure that he is the emperor after all, so he won't do these things.

Miao Li bowed her head and said: "The concubines don't dare to do anything, what the emperor wants is the emperor's business." ”

Zhou Shuxuan glanced up at her, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Now it seems that my bitter calculation has failed." "Except for a little success at the beginning, and then it was the same as usual.

Miao Li bowed her head and was silent, this kind of thing, success and failure are really difficult to distinguish.

Even though Zhou Shuxuan was not in a good mood tonight, he still didn't let her go back and continued to let her stay in the Longde Palace.

That little hope last night is almost out of sight now, and he still needs to work hard.

In the early morning of the next day, Miao Li got up early, dressed neatly, and waited for Zhou Shuxuan to come over, or she went over to change his dressing. Don't want yesterday's events to happen.

After waiting for a long time, the sky was almost dawn, and it was obvious that it was past the early dynasty, and Zhou Shuxuan did not come. He doesn't look like a person who likes to sleep in, and at the same time, his identity doesn't allow him to sleep lazy, so it's impossible that he hasn't gotten up yet.

Miaoli was puzzled, so she asked the palace maid beside her to inquire.

"Niangniang, the emperor went out in the middle of the night last night, and he is still in the palace of diligence."

Even if he rested for half the night yesterday, there was no need to rush out in such a hurry, something big must have happened.

Miao Liduo asked, "What's going on?" ”

"The slaves and maids don't know very well, it seems that the war is urgent, and the emperor is now busy mobilizing troops and horses."

Is the war urgent?

It seemed to come a little suddenly, and Miao Li couldn't think of that. After Zhou Shuxuan succeeded to the throne, from all aspects, he became a good emperor. Relations with other countries are also relatively good, and I have never thought about war.

In the surrounding countries, it is Xichang that is likely to have problems, after all, they have just died a princess.

But if there is really a war, it can't just be for the princess, there must be other factors in it, it may be something that has been planned for a long time.

If they really called over for a long time, Zhou Shuxuan would really be difficult to deal with. Zhou Shuxuan has been avoiding war again, he is unwilling and unprepared, and he is weak in the fight.

He never wanted to fight, and in the end he was forced to fight. Miao Li reflected on herself in her heart, she was the little moth flapping her wings, and in the end she caused a big change.

Just thinking about it, Zhou Shuxuan came back, in a hurry. Almost as soon as he sat down, someone brought food.

Zhou Shuxuan awkwardly held the chopsticks with his left hand, and directly stuffed something into his mouth, quickly and quickly, with almost no pause. A bowl of rice was down, and then without saying a word, he changed his clothes and left in a hurry.

It seems that the situation is really very urgent, because the whole process did not care about her.

It's time for him to no longer think about his children, and he can only concentrate on being an emperor.

Miao Li stood in the hall and thought for a while, feeling that she should go back. She can't help much here, and she's not qualified to help. I don't want him to take advantage of the opportunity to make any demands, so I might make him angry and make trouble inside.

After leaving the words, Miao Li went back.

On the way back, Miaoli was also worried about this matter, and only when the country was stable could they enjoy their privileges with peace of mind. If they are defeated by people from other countries, the so-called royal family will be worse than ordinary people.

Back at Qingquan Palace, Meng Runlin was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, his face full of worry. When he saw her coming back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is the emperor?" Do you have anything to say? ”

One sentence stunned Miaoli, the emperor didn't tell her anything, and she didn't know what was going on, she didn't know what the emperor should tell her.

In front of her own people, Miaoli can ask boldly with confidence: "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Runlin took a deep breath in surprise, "Sister, don't you know yet?" ”

"All I know is that there seems to be a war. But the harem can't interfere in politics, and I don't dare to let people inquire more, so I don't know the specific situation. ”

Meng Runlin followed her to the house and said, "Since yesterday evening, Xichang took advantage of the night to sneak attack and capture twelve cities in a row. ”

Miao Li couldn't believe it when she heard it, "Twelve cities? How could it be so fast? ”

"They have been prepared for a long time, and they should have arranged a mole in the city. The inside should be combined with the outside, plus the fire attack, so ......"

Miao Li closed her eyes and sat down on the side, hearing such painful news, she only felt like a knife. Fire attack, how simple it sounds, in fact, I can't imagine what kind of tragic scene it is.

The people of the city returned home exhausted, and lay down in bed after dinner, ready to have a sweet dream, but what they waited for was a fire in the sky. Maybe before he could react, he died in the fire.

Attacking with fire at night is equivalent to slaughtering the city.

Miao Li asked in disbelief: "What about those generals who defend the city?" Didn't they play any role? ”

Meng Runlin was heartbroken, clenched his fists and said: "In the previous war, my country was almost invincible, so the morale of the soldiers at the border pass was raised. The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the other party is a sneak attack, so there is no power to fight back at all. ”

The reason for the invincibility of the war before was that there were indeed talents in the military field. But the two left at the same time, and the military strength was not very strong. There is also a group of arrogant soldiers, and it is strange that they are undefeated in such a war.

There was no point in saying this, Miaoli quickly accepted this fact, and asked, "How is the situation now?" ”

"Barely controlled. There are not many soldiers and horses in Xichang, they just take one by surprise. I heard that there is another Fu Yan-like character who is guarding Niuxin City. Now the stage of a truce has begun. But it's definitely going to be hit. ”

It must be fought, not to mention that the city must be recaptured, that is, for the people of the twelve cities must be fought.

It's just that the word war is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. It's not just about making decisions quickly, it's about choosing the right people. Money and food are indispensable, and Miaoli thinks about it. Not to mention Zhou Shuxuan, who has to be faced, from last night to today, there must not be a moment of rest, Miao Li can understand him.

In the face of such a big event, you can ignore the small details.
