At the moment of falling, all I could hear was the rustling sound of the wind.
The emperor never thought that he would die like this.
He thought he was going to die, after all, this was a bottomless cliff.
If he fell, there would be no way the people above could come down to save him.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the endless blue sky above my head and felt the wetness beneath my body.
The emperor knew that he had survived by chance.
At this moment, he was surrounded by the thrill of surviving the disaster.
Since you are not dead, you should think about living.
The emperor turned his head and looked around, and saw a woman lying on the shore. He couldn't see her face clearly, but the clothes on her looked particularly familiar.
The emperor crawled over, but felt that his left hand was powerless.
He checked his body and found a deep scratch on his right leg, and blood had dyed the water around him red.
Apart from that, his head felt groggy and a little dizzy, as if due to the impact.
Fortunately, there are no major problems with my right hand or other parts of my body.
It is a blessing to be alive.
The emperor always hated women approaching him, but at this moment he still patiently approached her, reached out and turned over the woman's body, revealing her face.
It was indeed Xu Lingyi.
Even before he saw her face, he knew in his heart that it could be her.
Her figure is rare in the world.
The emperor called her, "Miss Xu."
Xu Lingyi did not respond, so the emperor called out a few more times.
Finally, Xu Lingyi pretended to open her eyes, but in fact she was unharmed.
But she would still pretend, not wanting to arouse any suspicion.
Her lips were pale and her whole body was soaked. Her clothes were tightly stuck to her body. Her inky black hair had already spread out and hung down in front of her chest. Her enchanting figure was now exposed.
It was early autumn now, the weather was getting cooler, and she seemed to be shivering from the cold.
If other men saw her looking so pitiful and lovely, they would have rushed forward to hug her.
But there was no fluctuation in the emperor's eyes.
"Miss Xu, why are you here?" The emperor glanced at her with cold eyes.
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I was hunting, but my horse got hurt for some reason and threw me off a cliff."
To be honest, the emperor had a moment of doubt as to whether all this was arranged by the empress dowager.
But he quickly dismissed this particularly outrageous speculation.
Even if the Queen Mother wanted to match him with Xu Lingyi, she couldn't use such means, because he was the only son the Queen Mother had.
Besides, everyone knows that the chances of surviving a fall from such a high cliff are slim, and the Queen Mother will not risk his life.
As for Xu Lingyi, it was even less likely to be her.
She didn't have the ability to harm his foal, and no one in the world would jump off a cliff without risking their life.
"Can you still move?" the emperor asked indifferently.
Xu Lingyi tried to get up and move her body. She was very panicked at first, but when she found that her hands and feet could move, a look of relief and surprise flashed across her face.
"Your Majesty, I am able to move. Aside from feeling dizzy, I seem to be fine."
The emperor nodded. She was lighter than him and fell into the water, so it was normal that her injuries were less severe than his.
"It's evening now."
The emperor looked at the sky, a look of worry flashing across his brows. "We need to find a place to stay as soon as possible."
Xu Lingyi nodded and pretended to be respectful, "Okay, Your Majesty, would you like me to help you?"
Even at this moment, the emperor was still a little distance away from her.
It seems that His Majesty is really not interested in women.
The emperor frowned.
"No, I can leave."
Since he said so, Xu Lingyi certainly didn't force it. She felt happy and relaxed.
It has been many years since anyone has set foot at the bottom of this cliff, and the green grass is half a person's height.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, I saw my bow and arrow!" Xu Lingyi pretended to be surprised.
She jumped into the water in an instant, and the emperor saw her swimming towards the lake. Her movements were very quick and it was obvious that she was good at swimming.
"Your Majesty, look." Xu Lingyi held up the bow and arrow. "This is my bow and arrow, and the arrows. I can shoot arrows. With these things, your Majesty and I will be safer. Your Majesty, rest assured. I will protect you."
She looked at him, her eyes clear and pure.
"Did your father teach you archery?" asked the emperor.
He thought of her father who was a great general and had great kung fu skills.
Xu Lingyi smiled faintly: "I have never liked studying since I was a child. My father was particularly troubled by this, so he taught me some self-defense skills."
"What else can you do?"
"I can whip people. This servant is very good at using a whip. I can also use a sword. Hey, my sword is still there."
Xu Lingyi drew out the soft sword wrapped around her waist, and her eyes lit up instantly.
He stared at her for a moment, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
It seems that she is not as useless as the rumors say.
At least her optimistic and foolish mentality is better than many people, and she looks a bit like a daughter of a general.
She is much more pleasing to the eye today than when I saw her in the Imperial Garden that day, and she is no longer pretentious.
Xu Lingyi knew where the cave was, not far from here, but she didn't want to take the emperor there so soon.
"Your Majesty, you are injured. Let me lead the way." Xu Lingyi volunteered.
The emperor lowered his eyes. This was all he could do now.
He has difficulty moving around.
Although Xu Lingyi was the one who led the way, the emperor still had a leg injury. After forcing himself to walk for a while, he was unable to continue.
Xu Lingyi turned around and looked at the emperor with feigned concern, "Your Majesty, please allow me to help you walk. You are the ruler of a country and cannot afford any mistakes."
The emperor wanted to nod for a moment. After all, it was really difficult for him to walk now. But when he thought about getting close to the woman, he instinctively refused.
The emperor shook his head: "Get me a branch, I will walk by myself."
Xu Lingyi lowered her head, her voice filled with frustration, her face still showing a hint of embarrassment at being rejected. "Your Majesty, do you dislike me? I know that your Majesty must have been extremely disgusted with me that day in the Imperial Garden. I promise that such a thing will never happen again. Even if you dislike me like others do... you must prioritize the emperor's health."
After Xu Lingyi finished speaking, she was moved by herself.
He said some harsh words to her that day, but she didn't bear a grudge.
"I have never liked women approaching me." The emperor kept a straight face, his expressionless face showing indifference.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and stopped talking, seeming a little sad.
But in fact, she was quite gloating in her heart. She planned to see how long the emperor could hold on. She would definitely not take him to the cave easily.
"Okay, I'll break off a branch for your majesty. Your majesty, please wait for me."
After saying that, Xu Lingyi climbed up the tree next to her, but just as she climbed up, a snake appeared behind the emperor.
