Su Lijin rode her horse at full speed. The empress dowager and the concubines only had time to scream before they saw her plunge into the dense forest.
The guards' horses chased for a long time before they caught up.
After entering the dense forest, Su Lijin slowed down. This was the main hunting ground, and Xiao Shengxing was likely nearby, so she had to look for him carefully.
Walking through the dense forest, Su Lijin's heart was beating like a drum, depressed.
She didn't know why Xiao Shengxing didn't come back, but everyone else came back except him. This was definitely not a simple matter.
Suddenly, a bright red in the grass caught her attention.
Su Lijin jumped off the horse and saw that the red color was clearly blood. Her face turned pale: "This blood..."
The uneasiness in her heart was densely packed and entangled in her heart, getting tighter and tighter.
"Empress, this might be animal blood. During hunting, an animal might have been shot by an arrow and collapsed with blood, staining the grass."
A guard comforted him.
Hearing this, Su Lijin looked carefully again, but found that there were no traces of animals or footprints on the grass, and she remained suspicious.
She stood up and tried to search around the bloodstains, but suddenly the sound of swords and knives stopped her in her tracks.
She was sure that she had not misheard and that it was indeed the sound of swords. Her eyes suddenly widened.
"No, there's a fight!"
"Hurry up and catch up!"
She ran forward quickly, and the guards followed quickly.
Finally running to the place where the fight was happening, Su Lijin immediately recognized Xiao Shengxing in armor.
At this time, Xiao Shengxing was knocked to the ground by a group of men in black, with blood visible on his body.
The group of men in black raised their swords and slashed at Xiao Shengxing!
"Hurry and save the emperor!"
Su Lijin shouted.
The guards gathered together and immediately stood in front of Xiao Shengxing, separating the men in black and rescuing Xiao Shengxing.
"Who dares to assassinate the emperor?"
The guards roared, but the men in black looked at each other and attacked even more fiercely.
Su Lijin quickly dragged Xiao Shengxing aside and checked his injuries: "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
When Xiao Shengxing saw her, his dark eyes were filled with surprise, yet he couldn't help but feel a little moved: "I'm fine, I won't die."
Su Lijin glared at him: "What are you talking about? Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Xiao Shengxing smiled, his black eyes shining like stars.
He inexplicably felt that Su Lijin was so adorable that it was intoxicating.
"You can still laugh at this time. I really admire you." Su Lijin frowned and flipped through Xiao Shengxing's clothes.
But Xiao Shengxing was wearing armor, so she could only see a few bloodstains and Xiao Shengxing's slightly pale face, and could not see what was going on inside.
The fight between the guards and the men in black became increasingly fierce. Su Lijin wanted to step forward to help, but she couldn't reveal that she knew martial arts.
At this time, Xiao Shengxing could not stay here. If someone came to pick up the man in black, they would be in great danger today.
"Your Majesty, swords are so terrifying. I am so scared. Your Majesty, please take me away." Her voice was soft and everyone could hear it.
This makes people feel that she is just a weak woman who doesn't know kung fu.
Xiao Shengxing felt amused, but also understood, so he nodded and stood up.
Su Lijin helped him onto the horse and then sat on it herself.
Xiao Shengxing sat behind Su Lijin, who turned to the guards and said, "You guys cover our retreat. We're relying on you here."
After saying that, he flicked the reins and the horse ran out quickly.
Obviously, the men in black also understood that they wanted to run away, and tried to chase them viciously with swords in hand, but the guards tried their best to stop them, and they couldn't catch up for a while.
I don’t know how long they ran, until the sound of swords and knives could no longer be heard, and then Su Lijin pulled the reins.
"No, you're bleeding a lot, you need to stop the bleeding quickly."
Along the way, she felt that Xiao Shengxing's clothes were getting wetter and wetter. She raised her hand and touched it, and it was covered in blood.
Xiao Shengxing waved his hand: "It's okay."
His face was even paler than before.
The bumpy ride on horseback might have opened the wound a little more.
Su Lijin tore off part of the armor without hesitation, and saw the bright yellow robe stained with bright red blood, and her heart tightened.
"You still think you're okay? If you don't bandage it, can you make it back?"
While tearing the strips of cloth, Su Lijin glared at Xiao Shengxing without giving him a good look.
Holding the man down fiercely, she quickly bandaged the wound several times: "Now all I can do is tie it up to stop the bleeding."
Xiao Shengxing kept staring at her and asked with a smile, "How did you find this place?"
Su Lijin tied it up and tidied her clothes, then looked up and said, "Everyone has gone back except you. Everyone is very worried about you."
"Everyone, including you?"
Xiao Shengxing's eyes were burning.
Su Lijin's heart suddenly became flustered, but she pretended to be calm on the surface: "Why are there so many questions!"
"Are you worried about me?" Xiao Shengxing asked again, deliberately moving closer to her while speaking, his breath spraying on her neck.
Finally, Su Lijin felt a numbness in her heart. It seemed that these words had some numbing effect. Her neck was also itchy and her body could hardly support itself.
Staring at the man, she blushed and shouted, "I'm not worried at all, not at all!"
Then, without saying anything else, he helped the man onto the horse and headed straight for the camp palace.
Everyone heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and when they got closer, they found that it was Xiao Shengxing and Su Lijin.
"The Emperor is injured!"
After everyone dismounted, the Queen Mother looked at Xiao Shengxing worriedly: "What happened? Why did you come back just now? How is your injury?"
