This means there are large, ferocious beasts in the forest, and Wange may have met with some misfortune.
More importantly, besides Wan Ge, His Majesty is also missing. What will they do if something happens to His Majesty?
After learning of the speculation about the presence of a ferocious beast, Hua Xun felt a chill run down his spine.
Seeing the broken tree trunk, I was initially praying that Wan Ge was alright, but the news of the ferocious beast intensified my unease.
…
They searched until midnight but still couldn't find anyone. The fog in the forest was quite thick, and the path was difficult to see. Continuing the search might be dangerous, but since the emperor was missing, they had no choice but to search.
While a group of people were searching, they suddenly heard a noise, and the next second all the arrows were aimed at the direction of the sound.
Then I saw Zhiyun emerge from the bushes. Zhiyun's clothes were torn in some places, and her hair was slightly messy, obviously she had been searching for a long time. Her eyes were also a little swollen, probably because she was worried about Wange.
“I know you. You are the princess’s maid. How are you now? Do you have any news about the princess?” one of the guards asked.
Zhiyun shook her head, looking at Huaxun not far away, her face filled with sadness.
Hua Xun didn't dare to look directly at Zhi Yun anymore, and subconsciously lowered his head, his face full of shame.
He was the one who wronged Wan Ge. He hadn't expected that even after breaking off their engagement, she would still risk everything for him. If something really happened to her, how could he face her? How could he possibly be worthy of her?
Just then, the howling of wolves came from not far away. They had discovered wolves in the forest a long time ago, but there might be more than just wolves.
…
Because of the thick fog, Ye Chenzhou couldn't see his way and stumbled into the vicinity of a cave, but he sensed danger around him.
Soon after, green eyes appeared in the mist.
Just as Ye Chenzhou gripped his sword tightly, a familiar voice rang out: "Don't fight! Don't fight!"
Then Ye Chenzhou saw a familiar figure appear in front of him.
Upon seeing Wan Ge, Ye Chenzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to hug her, but he also drew his sword, still somewhat worried about the wolves.
Wan Ge sensed the wariness of the person holding her, gently patted his back, and said to him, "Don't worry, it's okay, they are all my friends."
"friend?"
Wan Ge told Ye Chenzhou that she had actually learned how to imitate animal language, which is why she could communicate with animals, especially wolves. Wan Ge learned this skill from her mother.
Ye Chenzhou seemed to remember Wan Ge's and his mother's identities, so he was not surprised by this situation.
Wan Ge's mother was the legitimate daughter of the old Grand Tutor, but because the concubine was jealous of the main wife, she switched the main wife's child and abandoned the main wife's child in the wild.
This incident was only revealed later: just when the old tutor thought his daughter was dead, a wolf child appeared.
It was the young Marquis Zhongyong who arrested the man because he looked too much like the old Grand Tutor's wife, and it was also the mountain where the old Grand Tutor's eldest daughter had been abandoned. So he guessed that she might be the old Grand Tutor's daughter, and later it turned out that she really was.
However, this legitimate daughter caused the old Grand Tutor a great deal of trouble, and it was at this time that the Marquis of Zhongyong took the initiative to take on the responsibility of taking care of her.
The old tutor thought that the other party had trained wolves on the frontier, and that it might actually be useful, so he agreed.
They also developed feelings for each other during their long-term companionship. Later, Lady Zhongyong was no different from a normal woman, but because she had lived in the forest since childhood, she knew a lot about many animals, especially wolves.
Because of her wolf-like nature, after the death of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor, she, like the wolves of the wolf clan, never remarried after the death of her mate, and soon after, she followed him in death.
…
"I heard you were shot with an arrow? How are you now?"
Wan Ge shook her head with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not fake, and I only came down because I was sure I wouldn't get hurt. I just didn't expect it to be His Majesty who came to find me, so I would like to ask His Majesty for a favor tomorrow."
Hearing her words, Ye Chenzhou's tone became even more dissatisfied: "You didn't even bother to discuss such a big matter with me. You have no idea how worried I was after hearing about your accident."
Wan Ge seemed to realize that she had really frightened the other party, and quickly said, "It was my fault. I won't do it again. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"You better be, or I won't let you off the hook."
Although Ye Chenzhou said that, he was still particularly worried about Wan Ge, given how high the cliff was: "Are you really not injured? Such a high cliff..."
Wan Ge shook her head, then quietly told Ye Chenzhou that she had learned martial arts from her father when she was young. However, her father later felt that since she was a girl and his only child, it would be better for her not to continue learning martial arts.
Staying in the capital might be safer, so she hid her martial arts skills and obediently followed her father's wishes to be a proper young lady.
…
Before sunrise, Ye Chenzhou looked at Wan Ge, who was sleeping peacefully against him. She really wasn't afraid of the wolves at all.
Ye Chenzhou also felt that this experience was somewhat strange. He had always been extremely wary of wolves, but he never expected that he would be protected by wolves one day.
Wan Ge realized it was dawn, so she started getting ready.
Ye Chenzhou watched as the other person tore his clothes apart, and then, without knowing what they did, their face and body were stained red, as if they had suffered a great injury.
Then I saw him take out his cosmetic box, pat it on his face a few times, and instantly his face and lips turned much paler.
Wan Ge extended her hand to Ye Chenzhou: "The rest of the scenes will be left to Your Majesty."
Although Ye Chenzhou didn't know her ultimate goal, he already knew what she was thinking, so he cooperated with her and picked her up.
His expression became more anxious as he held the person in his arms and quickened his pace toward the path leading up the cliff.
Not long after they came out, they met the people who had come looking for them.
The others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing His Majesty, and then, upon seeing him, they used their lightness skills to quickly ascend to his location and rode their horses back to the camp at breakneck speed.
However, they had just seen the princess, who was extremely weak and in very poor condition, and that must be why His Majesty was so anxious.
They quickly followed Ye Chenzhou's footsteps and returned to the camp, especially Hua Xun.
However, he was outside the main camp and could not go in; he could only wait for the outcome.
…
Inside the tent, the imperial physician discovered that Wan Ge's pulse was exceptionally steady and full of vitality, showing no signs of impending death.
Seeing His Majesty's particularly anxious expression, he fell into deep thought.
