"I'm fine. Do you still have the strength to get up now?" In the light of the fire, the emperor looked at An Lingrong and saw that her face was full of fatigue. He raised his hand and held An Lingrong's hand with a tender look on his face.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty, don't worry." An Lingrong said as she moved closer to the emperor and sat next to him.

"When I was young, I stayed in the forest with my master for some time. These vines are very resistant to burning. Now that I am injured, I have to ask you to go to the cave entrance and pick up some branches."

As the emperor spoke, he squeezed An Lingrong's hand, breathing slightly, and his lips looked as if covered with a layer of white frost.

"Your Majesty, you...you should drink some water first." Seeing that the water bag was still in front of the emperor, An Lingrong thought that he didn't even have the strength to pull out the cork, so she took the water bag, opened it and handed it to the emperor's lips.

The emperor drank some water, raised his hand and held An Lingrong's hand again, saying: "Rong'er, thank you, you believe me, we can definitely go back."

The emperor was still breathing heavily and looked at An Lingrong steadily, and An Lingrong nodded unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, I will go pick up some branches and check your wound later." An Lingrong spoke. The emperor nodded, let go of An Lingrong's hand, and fell asleep again.

An Lingrong did not hesitate and walked out of the cave. Although there was moonlight outside, she still could not tell the direction. An Lingrong could only pick up some fallen branches from the trees near the cave entrance and carry them into the cave twice.

After returning to the cave, she began to add some branches to the fire. Then she saw that the flames were indeed different. The flames were actually much more stable than before...

"Your Majesty, please wake up and let me see your wound." An Lingrong looked at the emperor who was already sleeping on the ground and shook his body gently.

The emperor was still conscious. He raised his eyes, looked at the person in front of him clearly, nodded, and closed his eyes again.

An Lingrong had no choice but to help the emperor up, let him lean against her, and stripped off his clothes piece by piece until he was left with only his undergarment.

An Lingrong looked at the bloodstain on the emperor's back and the skin that had been rolled up, and she couldn't help but gasp, because the wound was so horrifying!

Not only was it horrific, the cut was also extremely long, so long that it almost cut across the entire back.

"Your Majesty." An Lingrong's voice trembled, but the emperor forced a consoling smile and said, "I'm fine. I'll be fine after two days of rest."

An Ling endured his trembling hands, spread the emperor's coat on the ground, let the emperor lie on the coat, tried to calm himself down and said: "Your Majesty, I will clean your wound, it will be a little painful, please bear with it..."

"Okay." The emperor said and closed his eyes again.

An Lingrong looked at the wound again. The part where it was stuck to the clothes was already blurry. Her stomach suddenly churned, but she suppressed it and reached out to take off the emperor's underwear.

But the clothes there were mixed with blood and had stuck to the wound, making them difficult to peel off. An Lingrong's hands were shaking slightly and she really didn't dare to continue.

While hesitating, the emperor suddenly spoke softly, "Tear it off..."

Hearing this, An Lingrong looked towards the emperor. Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, she nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please bear with it."

The emperor did not say anything, but An Lingrong had already received the emperor's order, so she no longer hesitated. She closed her eyes, exerted force, and tore the clothes off.

"Hmm..." The emperor groaned in pain. Seeing this, An Lingrong hurried to check the wound. Sure enough, blood was oozing out from many places on the wound...

"Your Majesty." An Lingrong called softly.

"It's okay. There are no broken bones." The emperor hurriedly spoke to comfort her, and An Lingrong nodded.

"Then I will clean you first." An Lingrong said, picking up the water bag at hand, pulling out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, dipping it in water and gently wiping the blood near the wound.

"From now on, you don't have to call me your concubine in front of me." The emperor spoke slowly. An Lingrong was stunned. When she looked at the emperor, he had closed his eyes again.

The cut of the knife was really long, but that person was using two knives, so the strength in his hands was a little insufficient, so the wound was not as deep as expected.

It must be true as the emperor said, that he didn't hurt any bones or muscles, but it was still a serious injury...

Feixue only had this one water bag on him. Although the bag was not small, An Lingrong did not dare to use it all to clean the wound. So, she simply cleaned it and left the water for drinking.

The emperor still did not wake up after his wounds were cleaned, so An Lingrong covered him with the emperor's jacket and added some firewood to the fire. In this way, they no longer felt cold as they sat around the fire.

After all this was done, An Lingrong finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down against the stone wall in the cave. She saw an animal skin bag beside her, so she took it and poured out all the contents.

The things fell to the ground and could be seen clearly at a glance. There were two larger ones, which were two oil paper bags.

An Lingrong was the first to open the oil paper bag, and she was delighted when she saw what was inside.

Yes! Both packages were food. One package contained dried meat, and the other contained a few fried cakes whose names I couldn’t remember.

An Lingrong continued to check and saw a small dagger on the ground. She took it in her hand, gestured with it a few times, and then put it back.

There is also a bracelet, which is very beautiful. You can tell at first glance that it should be a small gadget that ordinary people give to their children to ward off evil spirits.

In addition, there were some insignificant little things on the ground, such as a few pieces of silver, a small box of lip balm...

There is also a small bronze mirror... I guess Liangzi must be a girl who loves beauty...

An Lingrong checked everything else again and confirmed that there were no medicines inside. Although she had expected this, she still felt a little annoyed.

After doing all this, I didn’t know what time it was. I just felt very tired, so I thought about finding a place to rest.

He looked at the emperor, only to see that he still had his eyes closed, so he stood up and touched his forehead. Fortunately, he did not have a fever.

In this way, she finally felt relieved, added a few more branches, put on her clothes, lay down beside the emperor, and fell asleep.

It must be because the events of the day were too fresh in people's memory, and the dreams were filled with scenes of assassins chasing them relentlessly.

In her dream, the assassin was still chasing her. Seeing that the assassin's long knife was about to chop her, An Lingrong woke up suddenly. She was stunned for a long time before she remembered that she was already in the cave.

An Lingrong closed her eyes, turned her gaze to the emperor, then raised her hand to touch his forehead, which was already burning hot.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” An Lingrong was startled and shook the emperor, but the emperor did not move.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Finally, she mustered up the courage, raised her hand and patted the emperor's face, but the emperor still did not move.
