"Don't be afraid, Rong'er. Find a place to hide. I will go up to find Feng Chi to save you."

The emperor seemed to have made a great decision before he spoke. An Lingrong nodded obediently. The emperor turned around and ran back with Su Peisheng.

"Empress, what should we do?" Ju Qing looked at the emperor's departing back and listened to the sounds of swords and knives everywhere, her voice trembling slightly.

"Let's find a place to hide first. I didn't see any caves when I came here, but I remember there is a patch of dense grass over there. Let's hide there first."

An Lingrong pointed in a direction and Juqing hurriedly helped her walk west.

Not long after they walked, they saw a patch of tall grass. An Lingrong didn't know what kind of grass it was, but she felt that it was tall and dense. Ju Qing supported the limping An Lingrong and walked carefully to the middle...

Feeling that it was about time, the two of them squatted inside, looked at each other, and fell silent...

The two listened quietly to the sounds around them. The sounds of fighting from far and near were still endless. Ju Qing hugged An Lingrong nervously, not daring to move.

Gradually, after an unknown amount of time, the sounds of fighting outside became less and less, until there was no sound at all. An Lingrong looked up at the sky. It had already darkened, but no one came to look for her and Juqing.

"Your Majesty, how about I go out and take a look?" Ju Qing said softly, and An Lingrong shook her head.

"It's dark now. Even if there's no one outside and there's no fire, we won't be able to find the way back if we go out. This forest is quite large. I'm afraid we can't get out. Let's wait a little longer."

An Lingrong looked up at the sky and sighed softly. It was already dark, and no one had come to look for her. She also had no idea what had happened to the dog emperor. If he was dead...

"Your Majesty, no one has come to see us for such a long time. Do you think the Emperor is..."

Ju Qing opened her mouth, but quickly covered her mouth. How could she say such a thing? After she finished speaking, she looked at An Lingrong cautiously.

"It'll be okay." An Lingrong forced a faint smile and comforted softly. Seeing that her master had no intention of blaming her, Ju Qing nodded and felt relieved.

"Your Majesty, how do your feet feel? Let me massage them for you again." Ju Qing spoke, picked up An Lingrong's ankles again, and massaged them gently.

"Hiss..." An Lingrong couldn't help but let out a sound as a wave of pain came. Ju Qing hurriedly reduced the strength in his hands.

"My lady, but I am trying hard..."

"Someone is coming." Before Ju Qing finished speaking, An Lingrong interrupted her and said softly.

Ju Qing quickly shut up after hearing this, and his whole body froze there. The master and servant kept their current posture, not daring to move at all...

As the footsteps got closer, An Lingrong felt her heart almost leaping into her throat, and Ju Qing was about to cry...

"Go and look for the bushes over there. The boss said that if we find that woman, the people captured by that dog emperor will be saved!"

A voice was heard, and An Lingrong could tell that they were very close. The master and servant looked at each other, and both knew that this time it would be very dangerous.

"Your Majesty, I will go and lead them away." Ju Qing made a decision in an instant, whispered in An Lingrong's ear, and was about to stand up.

"No." An Lingrong shook her head and grabbed Juqing.

"My queen, if you can survive, please help me tell Meng Zhaoxing that I will repay his kindness to me in my next life!"

Ju Qing said as she pried An Lingrong's hand from her arm, pushed aside the bushes and walked out. An Lingrong wanted to get up and hold her back, but she felt a piercing pain in her feet...

"Juqing, take this." An Lingrong called out softly and handed over the dagger in her hand. Juqing took a look at it, did not take it, and turned and walked out.

"Juqing..." An Lingrong wanted to stop her, but Juqing had disappeared.

"There's someone over there! Catch him alive!" Ju Qing came out and ran in one direction. His hurried footsteps attracted the people who were looking for him.

An Lingrong sat in the bushes, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably...

"Swish, swish, swish..." An Lingrong heard the sounds of three arrows flying past, her heart tightened, and she stood up.

“Juqing!” An Lingrong shouted, and instantly stood up. Just as she raised her feet, she fell to the ground again and could not get up again. She felt tears blurring her eyes…

Then there was a moment of silence. An Lingrong had sprained both of her feet. She wanted to see Juqing outside, so she crawled forward to get a clear look.

Since her rebirth, she had never been so scared. She was afraid that she would see Juqing's body as soon as she went out.

"Empress..." Suddenly, Juqing's voice came from outside. An Lingrong was delighted when she heard it. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and continued to crawl towards the source of the voice.

"Juqing, is that you? Are you hurt?" An Lingrong opened her mouth and saw the grass in front of her being pushed aside, revealing Juqing.

"Are you okay?" An Lingrong forced a smile and looked Juqing up and down.

"Empress Chen, are you okay?" A voice came from behind, and An Lingrong saw that there was a tall figure following behind her. The figure brought the torch in his hand closer. An Lingrong looked carefully and saw that the man was Feng Chi.

"Your Majesty, General Feng is here to save us!" Ju Qing said as she stepped forward to help An Lingrong up. She tried hard but failed to lift her up.

"I sprained both of my feet." An Lingrong said. Feng Chi turned around, turned his back to An Lingrong, and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to take you home." Feng Chi spoke, and An Lingrong looked at Juqing.

"General Feng." An Lingrong heard the words "take me home" again, and suddenly she had the urge to cry. The last time she was in danger, Feng Chi also said the same thing to her.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending you. I can only carry you on my back." Feng Chi thought An Lingrong was shy, so he spoke again. An Lingrong knew that this was the only way, so she nodded.

Juqing hurriedly helped An Lingrong up and let her lie on Feng Chi's back.

As soon as An Lingrong lay down and held Feng Chi's shoulders with both hands, Feng Chi felt a refreshing breath coming from behind him. In that instant, he felt like his heart was about to jump out.

"Thank you, General Feng." An Lingrong choked up as she spoke, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto Feng Chi's neck. Feng Chi felt his whole body tremble.

"I am sorry that I am late and frightened Your Majesty." Feng Chi's throat rolled a few times and he spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

"General Feng, let me do it." Ju Qing spoke and took the torch from Feng Chi. Feng Chi carried An Linrong on his back and slowly stood up.

"How is the emperor?" An Lingrong gently wiped the tears from her face and asked while trying hard to hold back.

"The emperor was injured and has returned to the palace. It was the emperor who asked me to look for the empress." Feng Chi spoke, walking slowly and seriously.

"Is he seriously injured?" An Lingrong was also panicked after hearing this. It took so long for someone to come to see her. Could he be seriously injured? ...

"It's not that serious." Feng Chi said, but An Lingrong felt a little upset. If it's not serious, why did he send someone only now? ...
