"Your Majesty, the scenery here is truly magnificent. How about we come here again in autumn?" An Ling said as he took the emperor's arm, with a coquettish tone in his voice.

"Since you like it so much, then I will agree." The emperor nodded, holding An Lingrong's hand, with a hint of doting in his tone.

"There is a small path here. Just now, Concubine Shu said that Old Seventeen often takes the small path up the mountain. Why don't we try walking there too? We might come across some nice scenery. This way, it won't be a wasted trip..."

When the emperor spoke, An Lingrong secretly complained:

It sounds nice, and no one can guess what you are thinking. But in such a big mountain, how can you meet Zhen Huan as you wish?

"Your Majesty, is there any danger?" An Lingrong suppressed her displeasure and asked with a worried look on her face.

The emperor directly pulled An Lingrong to the small path without any hesitation. An Lingrong felt that there was something strange here, but she couldn't explain it...

Is the emperor really doing this because he wants to meet me by chance? ...

"Don't be afraid, Rong'er. There are secret guards following us. It's okay." Seeing An Lingrong stunned for a moment, the emperor spoke to comfort her.

An Lingrong nodded after hearing this, and followed the emperor towards the path.

The path was winding and from time to time one could see a few wild rabbits, and occasionally little squirrels jumping around in the woods, which made An Lingrong overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty, there is a spring over there." An Lingrong pointed to a spring. The emperor looked and saw a smooth groove-shaped stone under the spring. It seemed that this was a place for drinking water specially built by someone.

"This road must be frequently visited." The emperor spoke, and An Lingrong nodded in agreement.

The two continued to walk inside holding hands. Soon, they saw several burnt-out bonfires. The emperor and An Lingrong looked at each other and instantly understood each other.

Maybe someone has lived here before, and there are several bonfires, so there should be quite a few people...

"Your Majesty, let's go back. In case we encounter any danger..." An Lingrong spoke softly and squeezed the emperor's hand nervously. The emperor did not speak.

"Take this." After a moment, the emperor let go of An Lingrong, took out a dagger from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"Your Majesty." An Lingrong looked at the emperor and spoke in a panicked tone, not knowing what was going on.

"Don't be afraid, Rong'er. Everything is under my control. A few days ago, Feng Chi tracked down a group of foreigners who were active here. I came here today to lure them out of their hole."

As the emperor said this, he placed the dagger in An Lingrong's hand and squeezed her hand tightly.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand..." An Lingrong had a look of horror on her face, but in her heart she had already cursed the emperor a thousand times!

Why didn't she think of me when things were good? He dragged me into this dangerous situation without saying a word. I already have a child! Ahhh! I don't want to take this risk! !

"Rong'er, don't worry. I'm here, and there are many of our people around. Don't be afraid." The emperor said, holding An Lingrong's hand and continuing to walk forward...

"Is what the emperor said true?" An Lingrong was no longer willing to believe what she was seeing and asked again.

"Of course it's true. In this harem, you are the only one who has experienced the test of life and death with me. You are the only one I trust the most, so I only brought you with me."

The emperor spoke with deep affection on his face, but An Lingrong was almost crying.

"You dog emperor! Who wants to test life and death with you? I already have a child! If you die, I won't be buried with you, why should I go through life and death with you? ! "

An Lingrong secretly complained, tears almost streaming down her face...

"Rong'er, don't be moved. The person I care about most now is only you." The emperor pulled An Lingrong and spoke. At this time, An Lingrong could only nod with tears in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned a corner, they saw three people wearing Han Chinese clothes, but with beards and a strange hat on their heads.

"Who are you?!" the emperor shouted coldly, and the two people opposite him looked panicked.

"We are residents living at the foot of the mountain. We went up the mountain to hunt and got lost. We hope you can show us the way down the mountain." One of the tall bearded men said to the emperor.

"Do you need to bring a long knife when hunting? Shouldn't you bring a bow and arrow?" The emperor spoke, and in an instant five or six men in black rushed out from the surroundings and surrounded the two men.

"Capture them, and keep them alive." The emperor spoke, and several men in black started fighting with the two men...

"Silang..." An Lingrong didn't dare to call the emperor here anymore, and spoke nervously.

"Don't be afraid, let them solve it, let's go." The emperor took An Lingrong and started to walk back. Unexpectedly, after only walking for a cup of tea, they met four people not far from the mountain spring.

This time, before the emperor even opened his mouth, the other party had already moved. For some reason, no one in black appeared this time. At the same time, An Lingrong heard several fights breaking out nearby...

It's over. The rescuer was entangled by four people... Is there anything worse than this? ?

Almost in an instant, the bearded man in the lead raised his long knife and was about to chop over. The emperor also instantly drew out his long sword to meet him, and Juqing protected An Lingrong.

"Silang! Left." An Lingrong shouted, and the emperor turned his sword and wiped the man's neck. He dodged and stabbed the sword to the left, hitting the man in the abdomen.

"Be careful!" Su Peisheng shouted and swung the sword in his hand. However, he had never practiced this skill before, and before the sword reached the man, it was pushed back by the man's long knife.

Upon seeing this, the emperor turned around again and slashed the man's waist with the sword in his hand.

"Rong'er, hurry up!" the emperor shouted, pulling An Lingrong and running back, with Juqing and Su Peisheng running behind.

"Ah!..." An Lingrong ran too fast and lost her balance and fell. Ju Qing hurriedly helped An Lingrong up, but An Lingrong found that she had sprained her foot.

"Silang, I sprained my foot." An Lingrong spoke. The emperor hesitated for a moment, then knelt in front of An Lingrong.

"Come up, I'll carry you." The emperor spoke, and An Lingrong was stunned.

"Let me do it." Su Peisheng spoke, and the emperor shook his head.

During these few breaths, footsteps were heard running towards this side, but no one knew whether it was an enemy or a friend, so no one dared to stay there and take the risk.

"Your Majesty, please go first and find reinforcements. They won't do anything to me." An Lingrong spoke with a fearless look on her face.

"Your Majesty, let me carry Concubine Chen on my back. Please go quickly." Su Peisheng said as he squatted in front of An Lingrong.

"Eunuch Su, the emperor needs your protection." An Lingrong shook her head and pushed the emperor out.
