What surprised An Lingrong was that Feixue actually knew the way! When An Lingrong got ready and rode on the horse, Feixue carried her all the way to the cave entrance.

Along the way, An Lingrong's mood improved a lot. If Feixue really knew the way, did that mean they could go back?

"Your Majesty, Feixue knows the way." As soon as An Lingrong entered the cave, she came up to the emperor and said, her tone full of joy.

But the emperor did not answer. An Lingrong panicked and quickly reached out to touch the emperor's nose. Fortunately, there was still breath.

"Your Majesty." An Lingrong said as she touched the emperor's forehead. The emperor's forehead was no longer so hot. It should be that the Puhuang had some effect.

"Your Majesty, please drink some water." An Lingrong helped the emperor up, picked up the water bag, and fed the emperor some more water. The emperor was still able to swallow, but still did not open his eyes.

The wound did not injure his bones, and even if it was a large wound, he would not have been unconscious for so long. However, the emperor had a high fever...

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell somewhere else?" An Lingrong shook the emperor, but he still said nothing.

There was no other way, so An Lingrong could only eat something to replenish her strength and think about how to deal with the situation next.

"Rong'er..." It was not until the afternoon that the emperor finally moved and called An Lingrong.

"Your Majesty, I'm here." An Lingrong said, and hurriedly walked up to the emperor and helped him up.

"Is Your Majesty hungry? I'll feed you something." After An Lingrong said this, she hurried to get the biscuits and dried meat that she had prepared earlier.

"Your Majesty, please eat something." An Lingrong said, and handed a spoon filled with dried meat to the emperor's lips.

The emperor looked down at the spoon and saw a black mass in it. He frowned slightly but still opened his mouth. It was because he was extremely hungry.

However, the food was better than he had imagined, and he could even taste the flavor of dried meat.

After being fed and drinking some water, the emperor looked much better than last night.

"Your Majesty, I found that Feixue seems to know the way. After you have recovered some strength, can we go back tonight under the moonlight?"

When An Lingrong spoke, her eyes were shining, hoping that the emperor would say that this method was feasible, but the emperor shook his head.

"My leg is also injured. If we encounter an assassin again, neither you nor I will be able to escape."

The emperor spoke, then looked at An Lingrong and said seriously:

"There is another way. I will stay here, and you go back to find reinforcements to save me."

After the emperor finished speaking, An Lingrong was stunned. The fact that the emperor could say this showed his trust in her, but she felt in her heart that it was not right!

If the emperor really died here, and the empress dowager accused her of negligence, she would have no way to defend herself. And even if she was not charged, she would have to be buried with him, and she did not want to be buried with him.

She had to guard it, no matter life or death, reinforcements would always come. When that time came, if the emperor was alive, she would be his savior. If the emperor was dead, she would ride on 'Feixue' and run away!

"No! Let's go together!" An Lingrong shouted, then realized that her voice was a little loud. She looked at the emperor embarrassedly, but the emperor showed a gentle smile.

The dog emperor! At this moment! He was actually testing me!

"Then let's wait a little longer." Although the emperor was still weak, An Lingrong saw the slightly raised corners of his lips. An Lingrong's stomach churned, but the emperor pulled An Lingrong into his arms.

"Your Majesty said, what are you waiting for?" An Lingrong asked after hearing this. After a long time, the emperor did not speak. She looked up and found that he had fallen asleep again.

At night, the emperor had a fever again, and An Lingrong could only change his medicine and put a wet handkerchief on his forehead to cool him down. She really had no other choice but to wait...

The next morning, when An Lingrong woke up, she found herself still in the emperor's arms, with even half of the emperor's jacket on her body. She never expected that this damn emperor would actually know how to cover himself with something.

"Your Majesty, how are you? Would you like some water?" An Lingrong looked at the emperor and shook his shoulders. The emperor finally opened his eyes and nodded.

After feeding the emperor some water and adding some firewood to the fire, An Lingrong remembered that the emperor said his leg was also injured.

"Your Majesty, let me see your legs." An Lingrong said as she tried to take off the emperor's boots, but found it difficult to take off.

"Hiss..." The emperor felt pain, but An Lingrong still pulled his boots off.

Rolling up his trousers, An Lingrong saw the emperor's ankles and calves which were swollen beyond recognition and she gasped.

"Your Majesty..." An Lingrong looked at the emperor, her voice trembling slightly, but the emperor shook his head and said, "It's fine, no bones or muscles were injured."

"I'll go get some herbs. We can't let it stay swollen like this. And it's time to change the medicine on your back." An Lingrong spoke. The emperor looked at his leg and found it was indeed more serious than he had expected, so he nodded.

This time, the emperor personally handed the sword to An Lingrong and asked her to use it for self-defense. An Lingrong then took the sword out of the cave.

It was already bright outside. An Lingrong first went in the opposite direction of the day to look for it, but did not find any herbs that could remove blood stasis and reduce swelling. She then went back to the patch of cattail pollen where she had been before, picked some and walked back.

The woods were unusually quiet, with only the rustling sound of her feet on the dead leaves. An Lingrong suddenly felt foreboding, but when she looked around, there was nothing there.

She always felt like someone was staring at her, but after walking quite a distance, she still didn't notice anyone around, not even any animals.

An Lingrong swallowed, tightly grasped the sword in her hand, and continued to walk back slowly, but the invisible eyes still did not leave.

She walked cautiously, thinking in her heart, they must have a reason for not taking action now, if their target is not her, then it must be the emperor,

No! I can't go back! If I go back to the cave now, these assassins will kill the emperor and me...

"No! We have to change direction!" An Lingrong made up her mind and started walking down the mountain.

She could feel those eyes still staring at her, but she didn't even hear the footsteps, so she became more and more afraid...

She felt like she had been walking for a long time, but because she was afraid of not being able to find the way back, she didn't dare to go too far, so she changed direction to a more roundabout one.

Dark clouds had quietly appeared in the sky at some point, blocking the sunlight. The forest instantly became much darker, and a cool breeze blew past, causing An Lingrong to feel a little panicked.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a man in black jumped out from nowhere and blocked An Lingrong's way.
