At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

When she entered the Suqin Hall where she lived, she could smell a strong smell of medicine.

The maid serving Mi Zhen was startled when she saw the emperor coming. Just as she was about to pay her respects, Guo Peng waved her hand to signal her to keep quiet.

He walked into Mi Zhen's bedroom and walked to Mi Zhen's bedside, seeing the emaciated Mi Zhen lying on the bed with a pale complexion and closed eyes, his heart was filled with guilt.

Mi Zhen seemed to have heard the movement, opened her eyes, and saw Guo Peng standing beside her bed with a guilty expression.

She was taken aback for a moment, and then the circles of her eyes immediately turned red. She stared at Guo Peng, and tears welled up.

The two just looked at each other without saying a word, until the maid serving Mi Zhen came behind Guo Peng with the medicine, and waited carefully for Guo Peng's order.

Guo Peng reached out and took out the medicine from the tray, waved his hand to let the court lady go out, then sat by Mi Zhen's bed, took a spoonful of the medicine, blew a few breaths, and brought the spoon to Mi Zhen's mouth, He fed the bitter potion into Mi Zhen's mouth.

Mi Zhen swallowed the bitter potion bit by bit, and kept crying.

After feeding half of the medicine, Mi Zhen shook her head.

"Bitter, I don't want to drink anymore."

"How can you get better if you don't drink medicine?"

Guo Peng said softly: "Hey, drink the medicine, here is candied fruit, after drinking the medicine, eat a piece of candied fruit, it will not be bitter."

"My heart is bitter, candied fruit is useless."

Mi Zhen said something softly, then turned her head to the inside of the bed, not looking at Guo Peng.

Guo Peng was taken aback when he heard the words, sighed, put the medicine bowl on the small table beside the bed, and leaned against Mi Zhen's bed.

"I know you blame me. It's impossible for you not to blame me for this kind of thing, but Ah Zhen, I remember I told you more than once that I'm not only your husband, but also the emperor of Wei, and My weight as an emperor far exceeds that of your husband.

Not only the Mi family, but also the Tian family and the Cao family, I will not let any of them break the law. I will punish them severely. To accept such things, I said so. "

Mi Zhen didn't turn her head around.

"Are you going to be killed for annexing the land?"

"I will definitely be killed. Not killing is not enough to deter people."

"Where's Mrs. Cao?"

"I deprived Cao Hong of 20 mu of land, and I killed more than a hundred of the people in charge of Cao Hong's manor, those followers, and his servants?"

"Is the surname of the one who was killed Cao?"

Guo Peng didn't speak.

The killing of the clansmen must be a hurdle in her heart that she cannot overcome, and for Guo Peng, it is also an irrefutable fact.

After a long time, Guo Peng let out a long sigh.

"If you blame me, I have nothing to say, but I don't think I'm wrong."

"Chen and concubine dare not."

"Does it have to be like this between you and me? Ah Zhen, you served me at the age of 16, and I care about you for 20 years now. I don't want you to continue like this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy..."

Mi Zhen's voice was choked with sobs.

Guo Peng sighed.

"If you wish, I can restore Zizhong's title, restore his identity, and pardon Mi's crimes."

Mi Zhen didn't speak, and the crying gradually became uncontrollable.

I don't even know why I was crying.

Maybe Guo Peng knew it too, but he didn't want to think about it too deeply, he didn't have the energy anymore.

So Guo Peng had nothing to do about it, he could only call in the maid who served Mi Zhen.

"Serve the nobleman well with medicine, food and clothing, and don't be short of anything. If the nobleman makes a mistake, I will never forgive you."

The maid knelt on the ground.

"The slaves obey the order."

After finishing speaking, Guo Peng looked at Mi Zhen again, but Mi Zhen still refused to turn her head around, Guo Peng sighed slightly and stood up.

"You rest more, eat more, and I will come to see you some other day."

After speaking, Guo Peng left Mi Zhen's bedroom with a heavy heart.

He said he often went to see her, from the beginning of March to the end of April, Guo Peng only went there once.

Mi Zhen was still lying on the bed, thinner than last time, she couldn't see the appearance of the plump beauty at all, and her spirit was not good at all.

Guo Peng was very angry and blamed the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital.

The imperial doctor trembled and said that he would do his best.

Besides, Guo Peng never visited Mi Zhen again.

There is no other reason, depression, Suqin Palace is too depressed.

His pressure is already very heavy, and the pressure on weekdays is already very high.

Fighting all day with his ministers, intrigues for power, he has no conscience, sometimes he feels that he is not like a person, but like a power machine, mechanically exercising power in order to protect power.

He felt as if he was soaked in the stinky ditch of power, out of breath.

He went to the harem just to relax, entertain, release stress, so that his heavy heart can be relieved a little bit, and he can take a breath, so that he can move on.

What I see every day is the ugliness of the world, and what I see is greed and sarcasm. It is really not an easy task to compete with the best and smartest people in the world.

What he wants is leisure and relaxation, not to increase psychological pressure.

He simply couldn't bear this feeling of oppression and heaviness in a place of leisure.

Therefore, regarding Suqin Palace, he avoided it, and even did not allow people around him to mention it, and he would get angry when he mentioned it.

And Mi Zhen didn't improve after all.

On the afternoon of April 28, when Guo Peng was discussing the construction of the Grand Canal with Pang Tong and four other attendants of the South Study Room, Su Yuan ran in from the outside in a panic and knelt down on Guo Peng's side with a sad face. in front of.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty Mi...is dead."

Pang Tong and other five servants from the South Study Room were shocked when they heard this, and knelt down quickly, not daring to speak.

Guo Peng's heart skipped a beat, first he was surprised, then he was puzzled, and then an indescribable uncomfortable feeling spread in his heart, his ears were buzzing, and his mind went blank.

how could be?

The imperial doctor clearly said that Mi Zhen was not seriously ill, how could it be?

His mind was blank for a long time, and he suddenly had such a question.

Then he took a deep breath and forcibly stabilized his emotions.

There are foreign ministers here.

"Go to Suqin Palace."

Guo Peng stood up and walked out, Su Yuan hurriedly got up to keep up, Pang Tong and other five servants from the South Study Room were lying on the ground, and no one knew what to do next.

When Guo Peng arrived at Mizhen's residence in Suqin Palace, he could only hear a burst of crying, other than that, there was no unnecessary noise.

At a glance, the servants and maids in the Suqin Palace were all kneeling on the ground, no matter if they were sincere or not, at least they were kneeling on the ground with their heads in their chests, as if weeping or sighing.

On the left, there are two little maids hugging each other and wiping tears.

On the right hand side, a servant knelt on the ground with his head bowed, tears dripping down the ground, and the teardrops were clearly visible.

Guo Peng only felt that every step he took was getting more and more difficult, his steps were getting heavier and heavier, his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and it was getting harder and harder to get close to Mi Zhen's bedroom.

"His Majesty."

Seeing Guo Peng's body swaying, Su Yuan quickly stepped forward to support Guo Peng.

Guo Peng calmed down, let Su Yuan support him, step by step over the crying servant and maid, and walked towards Mi Zhen's bedroom.

In the dormitory, the strong smell of medicine is more obvious than the last time, it seems that Mi Zhen's dormitory has no other smell for a long time.

Guo Peng walked slowly inside, and at a glance, he saw Mi Zhen lying on the bed, still covered with a brocade quilt, who seemed to have fallen asleep peacefully.

It's just that I really can't see the breath of birth anymore.

After 20 years of blood and fire, Guo Peng is used to seeing life and death. Guo Peng knows the difference between the living and the dead very well, even though he has no medical skills at all.

Hua Tuo and two imperial doctors knelt beside Mi Zhen's bed and shivered, as if they were worried that Guo Peng would be held accountable for this matter, and even killed them to vent his anger.

The little palace maid who was serving Mi Zhen next to her knelt down and shed tears. She didn't know if it was because of Mi Zhen or because of her uncertain future.

Chapter 1341. One thousand and two hundred and fifty days will never make mistakes

The arrival of the emperor intensified the oppressive atmosphere in the bedroom, and no one knew what they would face.

At this moment, Guo Peng just stared straight at Mi Zhen who had closed his eyes, and involuntarily held Su Yuan's wrist who was beside him supporting him.

The emperor was so strong, Su Yuan's wrist hurt from being held, his expression was almost distorted, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

"what happened?"

After a long period of repression, the emperor finally asked the first sentence.

"Even if it is an illness, there should be a process of mild illness and severe illness, and let me know, why... I didn't know until now?"

The two imperial doctors were too frightened to speak a word.

Hua Tuo looked at the shivering little maid, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to face the emperor.

"Your Majesty, when the old minister came, Mi Guiren had... already died. The person who served her said that Mi Guiren had lunch and said that he was sleepy, so he rested, but he didn't get up when it was time to get up. The palace people felt strange." , I went to look, and after a look, I found that Mi Guiren had already..."

"Is there a problem with the food?"

Guo Peng lowered his voice.

"No, there's nothing wrong with the food, and Mr. Mi Gui doesn't show any signs of being poisoned."

"That is how the matter?"

"Old minister... old minister is incompetent..."

After all, Hua Tuo only had these words left, and then knelt down on the ground, waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Incompetence? Just one word of incompetence makes Mi Gui disappear? I spent so much money supporting you just to make you say one word of incompetence? You..."

Just as Guo Peng was about to get angry, two voices sounded suddenly.

"Mother!"

"Mother!!"

Guo Hu and Guo Jue, the son and daughter of Mi Zhen, the two children ran in from the outside with anxious expressions on their faces, and they saw Mi Zhen sleeping lifelessly on the bed at a glance, they rushed over and shook Mi Zhen , calling Mi Zhen.

It's just that Mi Zhen won't open her eyes after all.

So Guo Jue cried out first, and Guo Hu couldn't hold back, and also cried out, crying very miserably.

Guo Peng's anger suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He knew the cause of Mi Zhen's death.

He knew why Mi Zhen died.

Just now he wanted to understand why Mi Zhen died with a calm face, without any pain or struggle.

After a while, there was another noise outside.

Cao Lan rushed over after hearing the news, so did the Xiaoqiao sisters, and then Xia Houlin and Tian Rou also rushed over, both of them were panic-stricken, they didn't know why, they couldn't believe it.

"What is this..."

Cao Lan looked at Mi Zhen fixedly, then turned to look at Guo Peng suddenly, her face was full of sadness.

Looking into Cao Lan's eyes, Guo Peng couldn't say a word.

All kinds of emotions were intertwined, and Guo Peng felt that he was in a panic, and he couldn't stay here for a moment.

Then he turned around and left the Suqin Hall, avoiding everyone, and left the Suqin Hall quickly, only taking Su Yuan back to the South Study Room.
