Chapter 55: In the Woods

An Jiusheng stood there with his head down, feeling hopeless.

King Jing is the same. What can't be said when no one is around? She is still here...

The emperor indeed saw her and said to her, "Xiaojiu, go out first."

An Jiuru was pardoned and walked out quickly.

King Jing stared at An Jiu's back and said, "This woman handles your food, you have to be careful, don't do it like before..."

The emperor nodded: "I know."

King Jing asked again: "You are still sick?"

The emperor shook his head: "It has improved recently."

"Jiang Sheng is also a waste."

The more King Jing thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so angry at himself that he finally strode away with a gloomy face.

An Jiu and Xiao Dong came in and cleaned up the table. Xiao Dong lowered his head, shivering, not even daring to raise his head. He ignored the leftovers on the table.

It was still early, so the emperor said he was going out to digest his food. Eunuch Li and Xiao Fuzi could follow him. An Jiu returned to her room. She was actually tired and was about to go to bed, but Xiao Fuzi came over and said, "Xiao Jiu, Aunt Qu asked you to keep watch tonight."

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

At least we don't need them anymore...

They looked at An Jiu with sympathy in their eyes.

An Jiu was tired after a whole day. He didn't want to move and was extremely sleepy. But suddenly he thought of something and got up quickly.

How could she forget that she couldn't sleep with these people, what if the tyrant came at night? Just like last time, he ate his fill and didn't wake her up and slept next to her...

I can’t even imagine it.

Originally, An Jiu could have gone to sleep at Aunt Qu's place, but Eunuch Li and the others were worried that the Tyrant would wake up and not be able to find her and might do something weird again. After all, they were outside, and the Tyrant was very skilled in martial arts, so if he wanted to go out, the guards might not be able to find him.

If something happens in this deep forest, who can take responsibility?

So a bed was placed next to the emperor's tent. An Jiu didn't mind and climbed up to sleep.

She was sleeping very soundly. Someone patted her while she was half asleep. She unconsciously covered her head with the quilt.

tyrant"……"

Eunuch Li was standing not far away, extremely anxious, wishing he could go over and wake up An Jiu.

The tyrant slapped again, and Anjiu opened her eyes in a daze and saw a magnified face. There was a faint light in the tent, and the tyrant's body blocked the light, so his face could not be seen clearly. When she opened her eyes, she saw a person appear beside her. Anjiu jumped up and fell off the bed in fright. She didn't care about the pain and ran away.

Until he ran to Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li was also speechless: "Xiao Jiu, what are you doing?"

The consciousness that had run away finally returned, and An Jiu remembered something. He turned around and saw the tyrant standing there with a rare look of confusion, bewilderment, and a little dissatisfaction on his face.

An Jiu patted his chest, took a long breath, and said to the tyrant: "I was confused in my sleep."

The tyrant looked at her and accepted this fact.

An Jiu went over and put on his coat.

"Your Majesty, are you hungry?"

The tyrant shook his head and nodded.

Eunuch Li was suspicious. Is he hungry?

An Jiu understood that although he was not very hungry, he would still eat if you asked him to.

Anjiu took some snacks from her bag and gave them to him, and he ate them too.

Eunuch Li was a little impressed by An Jiu. He had served His Majesty for more than ten years, and he could only half guess half of his thoughts. This Xiao Jiu had only been here for a few days, and he was like a worm in His Majesty's stomach.

After eating, the tyrant stood up and walked out. Eunuch Li was shocked and wanted to ask the tyrant to stay in the tent, but would the tyrant listen to others?

He pushed Eunuch Li away and went out. When An Jiu was hesitating whether to follow him, the tyrant turned around and frowned at her.

An Jiu "..."

She had no choice but to follow.

There is a moon today, so it is not completely dark outside. Torches are lit around the camp, so it is very bright. Standing on the hillside, you can see very far.

The tyrant seemed to smile.

An Jiu felt that this smile gave her the impression of a child playing a prank, but the Tyrant didn't have that thought in mind, and she didn't know either. The next second, the Tyrant grabbed her and ran behind the mountain. He moved extremely fast, like a ghost in the dark. The patrolling guards felt like something was passing by, but when they looked again, there was nothing.

"Am I dazzled?" Zhang Wenyuan rubbed his eyes: "Did you see it?"

Li Ji shook his head. He felt the wind passing by, but he didn't see anything.

"That may be my eyes are blurry."

A few guards walked away chatting, but An Jiu was in misery. He was led up and down by the tyrant and soon left the camp and landed on a tree in the woods.

Feeling something under her feet finally made her feel a little relieved, but after her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she made eye contact with an unknown creature.

"ah……"

Even though Anjiu was restrained, she couldn't help but scream. The tyrant was startled by her sudden scream. He turned around and saw a night owl standing in front of Anjiu.

Normally, this guy would just fly away when he met it, but it was different today. I don’t know if this guy has a problem with his brain. Anji was almost scared to death. After turning his head 180 degrees, he became curious and turned upside down almost half a circle again, looking at Anjiu with his head upside down...

An Jiu "..."

It happened suddenly in the middle of the night, and Anji was almost frightened to death. Fortunately, he had been able to withstand strong pressure recently, and he finally reacted after a while. Anji calmed down, and the owl felt bored and flew away leisurely.

An Jiu "..."

Are you kidding me? It's ok to have dog people around, but how come there are also dog owls?

It's so infuriating.

The tyrant found it a little funny to see her like this.

【cute……】

An Jiu "..."

She just wanted to roll her eyes, turned her head and looked at the tyrant coldly, and said, "I want to go down."

The tyrant looked at her.

An Jiu lowered her voice: "Your Majesty, it's too high up here, I'm scared..."

The tyrant then took An Jiu downstairs.

This forest is not a good place to be late at night. It is pitch black, and Anjiu, who has watched countless horror movies, suspects that there is a murderer hiding in here.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go back? This forest is so scary."

The tyrant obviously doesn't want to go back.

but……

He glanced at Anjiu, obviously struggling over whether to go back or not.

An Jiu continued to look at him, and she found that the tyrant was soft-hearted and would not tolerate toughness, while the child was easy to coax.

So An Jiu said again: "It's dark and cold here, it's not fun at all. I'll make you something delicious when I get back."

After running around for so long, the tyrant was hungry.

But he was still hesitating. An Jiu was speechless. What on earth are you hesitating about? What's so fun in this broken forest? What if there are wild beasts?

Just when An Jiu was wondering, she suddenly heard a noise not far away.

An Jiu's scalp tingled and he turned to look in the direction of the sound.

I don't know if it's a beast or a killer...

The tyrant signaled her to squat down and not move, and he wanted to sneak over, but An Jiu held him back and shook her head at him.

Are you kidding? In this forest, what would she do if the tyrant forgot about her?

Moreover, if the tyrant leaves alone and something happens, who will be able to take responsibility?

The tyrant looked at her, frowning and looking extremely unhappy.

But Anjiu just held his arm and wouldn't let him go. He sulked for a while and finally gave up.
