Chapter 428: In order to save her from injury, he asked the man in black for a snowball

Xuetuan let the man in black hold him, raised his furry head and stared at him, as if he was curious.

The man in black lowered his eyes and looked at the cat in his arms. It was snow-white with deep blue eyes. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like the pet that Xiao Jiu raised, except that it was much bigger.

If it is Xiaojiu's pet, does it mean that Xiaojiu is not only safe, but also possibly here?

After a long time without any clues about Xiaojiu, the man in black regained hope.

The man in black held the cat and went to find someone impatiently.

At this moment, from deep in the forest, a sturdy figure was running towards this side quickly.

Chu Zhao saw his master and stepped forward to perform the salutation.

"Master, what are you doing?"

The man in black saw his subordinate coming and happily raised the cat in his hand and said, "Does this cat look very similar to Xiaojiu's pet?"

Chu Zhao carefully looked at the cat in his master's arms, "It looks like one, but this one is too big, it could be the father."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped by the man in black.

"After so many years, can't it grow up?"

Chu Zhaowen immediately nodded and admitted his mistake, "Master, you are right. It is me who did not think far enough."

Xuetuan looked at the master and servant in front of him with a confused look on his face. So, is it time to send me home?

The man in black looked down at the cat in his arms, then raised his head and said to Chu Zhao, "I'll go find someone."

Chu Zhao asked doubtfully: "Where can we find someone?"

The man in black ignored Chu Zhao and left neatly with the cat in his arms.

Chu Zhao sighed. Who was he looking for? He had gone to the palace many times in the past two years but had not found anyone. Instead, he often went to look for Concubine Xu.

She is a married woman!

He didn't dare to say these words in front of his master, for fear of being beaten.

The sunlight at noon was stronger than in the morning. After walking for a while, I started to sweat.

Shen Chuwei and the others also returned to their seats and sat down, drinking tea together to calm down after the shock.

When Qin Xiao learned that Concubine Xu had returned safely, he asked the guards who were looking for Concubine Xu to come back.

To be on the safe side, Qin Xiao asked the guards to stay nearby to prevent the previous unexpected situation from happening again.

Shen Chuwei picked up a banana, peeled it and handed it to Concubine Xu, "Eat a banana to calm your nerves."

Concubine Xu was also hungry at this time, so she took the banana and put it in her mouth and took a bite.

Tao Liangyuan picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and passed it to Concubine Xu, "Come, have some tea."

Concubine Xu held the teacup in one hand and a banana in the other. She first drank some tea to moisten her throat, and then took a bite of the banana to satisfy her hunger.

"Do you want to ride horses?"

Shen Chu shook his head slightly, "My butt hurts from riding a horse. I don't want to ride a horse anymore."

After hearing this, Concubine Xu looked at Tao Liangyuan.

Tao Liangyuan shook her head. "I don't know how to ride a horse, and I'm too lazy to learn."

"Well, I actually really want to ride a horse." Concubine Xu said as she took a bite of the banana.

"Let's ride again tomorrow. The emperor and the others should be back soon, and we can have barbecue when they come back." Shen Chuwei became excited after she said this. Xiao Jinyan will surely hunt back a lot of prey, and the thing that is most abundant in the mountains and forests is game.

When they heard about roasted game, Xu Cefei and Tao Liangyuan's eyes lit up.

"The food cooked by Chef Yu in the palace is not as delicious as Chunxi's." Concubine Xu said in a low voice.

Tao Liangyuan echoed: "I think so too."

Shen Chuwei also felt that the meat roasted by Chef Yu was not good enough. She thought for a moment and said, "When His Highness comes back, we will roast it ourselves."

Concubine Xu raised her hand in approval, "Good idea."

Tao Liangyuan glanced at Miss Han and Wanxin who were not far away, "Look at Wanxin, what did the emperor ask her to do?"

Concubine Xu took a quick look and said, "Who knows? Maybe she is here to choose a husband."

Shen Chuwei also looked over curiously, and saw Miss Han holding a small gray rabbit in her arms. The rabbit looked exactly like the one Yuangungun had when he was a child. They were both wild rabbits.

At this time, deep in the forest.

The queen looked at the dog emperor who was chasing her relentlessly. Wherever she went, the dog emperor would go, and she couldn't get rid of him.

Finally, the queen couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, how can we hunt together?"

The emperor said, "Empress, you haven't been out of the palace for a long time. It would be better if you could go hunting with me."

Queen: "..." Who is willing to hunt with you?

At this time, the emperor, holding a bow and arrow, noticed some movement in the bushes not far away, so he drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The queen also saw it and asked, "You must always follow me, and I will hunt prey with you." She drew her bow and shot an arrow, aiming at the same target as the emperor.

Two arrows were shot at the prey in the bushes almost at the same time.

When the emperor saw her, he turned his head to look at the empress. She looked very heroic in her riding clothes, but it might be because she hadn't ridden a horse for a long time and she was a little unfamiliar with it.

"The queen is a good archer."

"Thank you, His Majesty." The queen gripped the reins tightly, kicked the horse's belly and walked towards the prey.

The emperor did not compete with the empress and let her take the prey.

When the queen arrived at the bushes, she saw a deer that was shot by two arrows at the same time. The dog emperor's archery skills were quite accurate.

She dismounted swiftly and bent over to pick up the prey when a python suddenly emerged from behind a tree, spitting out its tongue.

Just as the queen was about to catch her prey, the python suddenly attacked.

The horse was frightened and ran away.

The queen then saw the python behind the tree. Her pupils dilated, but she was so frightened that her body froze and she forgot to react. It was too late for her to get away.

When the emperor found the python, it was too late to think about its size. He quickly drew out the arrow, aimed at the python's head and shot.

Then he drew out the second arrow and aimed at the head again.

When the arrow hit the python's head, blood gushed out immediately. Perhaps because of the unbearable pain, the python suddenly became angry and opened its bloody mouth to try to bite people.

At this time, the queen's legs were so weak from fear that she had no strength to escape. She could only watch helplessly as the python attacked her.

The emperor came running over on his horse, and when he was close to the empress, he jumped off the horse, grabbed the empress's arm and pulled her into his arms.

He drew the sword from the horse's back with his right hand.

"Queen, be careful."

The Queen felt herself being pulled into the embrace of the hot spring. When she looked up, she saw the Dog Emperor, with a nervous look on his face, as if he were facing a powerful enemy.

The emperor clenched his sword and stabbed the python, but missed the vital point. The python was obviously enraged and began to attack fiercely.

The queen reacted at this moment, and when she turned around, she saw the python with its bloody mouth wide open. She hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful."

The python is too large, and unless it is hit in a vital part, it will not die immediately.

I heard that snakes should be struck at the weakest part, and this should apply to pythons as well.

In a hurry, the queen saw the arrow feathers on the deer, reached out her hand to pull out the arrow feathers on the deer, aimed at the python's vital point and stabbed it.

The emperor discovered the queen's intention and frowned: "Queen, come back to me."

At this moment, the queen had no intention of listening to the emperor. She had only one goal, which was to take the python's life.

When the emperor saw that the empress was disobedient, he was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He grasped his sword tightly, rushed forward, and chopped off the python's head.

Although the python looked huge, it was very agile. It dodged the sword and attacked the queen.

At this moment, the queen grasped the arrow tightly and thrust it into the snake's vital point.

The python hissed towards the sky, opened its mouth and bit the queen.

The distance was too close, and when the queen wanted to escape, it was too late.

Upon seeing this, the emperor stepped forward, grabbed the empress's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and used his body to protect the empress. However, the python bit his shoulder.

When the Queen saw the Dog Emperor using his body to protect her, her mind went blank for a moment.

She thought she had let go of her feelings for the Dog Emperor, until now she realized that she had never let it go, she just didn't want to mention it anymore.

By the time the python came to its senses, the emperor gripped his sword tightly and stabbed the snake again. After a fierce struggle, the python collapsed to the ground, spitting blood from its mouth, and died.

When the queen saw the dog emperor's shoulder was covered in blood, she was immediately panicked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." The emperor raised his head and looked at the queen, looking her up and down. There was a lot of blood on her body, and he didn't know if she was injured.

"Are you injured anywhere?"

The queen shook her head with red eyes, "I am fine, but the emperor has lost a lot of blood."

The emperor glanced at his right arm. Fortunately, he dodged in time and the bite was not too severe, otherwise this arm would probably have been disabled.

He turned his gaze back to the Queen, "I'm glad the Queen is not injured. My injuries are nothing."

"You are the king of a country, how can you be injured?" The queen was extremely anxious at this time and wanted to reach out to check his injuries, but was stopped by the emperor.

"There is no doctor or medicine here. It will be useless to see a doctor. We should go and take care of the horse. If the horse runs away again, we will have to walk back."

The emperor withdrew his secret guards in order to be alone with himself, and that was why he was faced with such a dangerous situation.

The queen looked back and found that her horse had been frightened and ran away, leaving only the dog emperor's horse there. She hurried forward, grabbed the reins and led the horse over.

There was only one horse left, so the two of them had to ride together.

The Queen sat in the front, leaning right against the Dog Emperor's chest. They hadn't been close to each other for a long time, so it was inevitably a bit awkward to be so close to each other.

The emperor held the empress in his arms. It had been a long time since he had ridden a horse so closely, and he suddenly missed them from his youth.

The Queen felt very uncomfortable being held in the arms of the Dog Emperor, but thinking that the Dog Emperor had an injured arm, she could only let him go.

The emperor pulled the reins and drove the horse slowly, enjoying this moment of leisure and warmth.

The queen watched the horse walk leisurely. She even walked faster than this. She couldn't help but feel anxious. "Your Majesty, can't you ride faster? If you keep riding like this, the wound will bleed a lot if it's not bandaged in time."

The emperor lied with his eyes half closed: "Empress, I am injured. You can't move too fast, or the blood will bleed faster."

The queen was stunned when she heard this. Because she was overly worried about the dog emperor, she actually felt that what the dog emperor said made some sense, so she had to give up urging the horse and let it walk slowly.

Looking at the seats at this time, Shen Chuwei felt a little drowsy. She touched the seat next to her and found Xuetuan was not there. She suddenly opened her eyes and found that the seat next to her was empty.

Thinking about how he had just rushed to find Xu Cefei, Xuetuan must have run out with her at that time.

It's over, Xuetuan must have gone to find her.

Xuetuan is Xiao Jinyan's favorite. If he were lost, Xiao Jinyan would definitely be angry.

Shen Chuwei didn't care about anything else and went to look for Xuetuan while holding up her skirt.

Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, thinking that she was in a hurry to pee because they had just seen her drink a lot of tea.

Shen Chuwei looked for a while, but didn't see Xuetuan, so she became extremely anxious. Could Xuetuan have gotten lost?

Just when Shen Chuwei was getting anxious, he saw a man in black holding a snow-white cat from afar. Who else could it be but Xuetuan?

No wonder he didn’t come back for so long, it turns out he was caught.

She ran over holding up her skirt.

The man in black was a little surprised when he saw Shen Chuwei, but then he stopped when he saw her running towards him.

Shen Chuwei ran over and glared at the man in black, "Give the snowball back to me."
