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 in color, with deep blue eyes. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like the pet that Xiaojiu raised, except that it was much bigger.

If it was Xiaojiu's pet, did it mean that Xiaojiu was not only safe, but also possibly here? After a long time without any clues about Xiaojiu, the man in black's disheartened heart rekindled hope.

The man in black held the cat and looked for someone impatiently.

At this time, deep in the forest, an agile figure was running towards this side quickly.

When Chu Zhao saw his master, he stepped forward and bowed.

"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 a father."

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

"After all these years, can't it grow up?"

Chu Zhao nodded and admitted his mistake immediately after hearing this. "Master, you are right. It is me who did not think long-term enough."

Xuetuan looked at the master and servant in front of him in confusion. 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 gracefully 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 couldn't find anyone. Instead, he often went to look for Concubine Xu.

She is a married woman!

He did not dare to say these words in front of his master, for fear of being beaten. The sun was almost at noon and was stronger than in the morning. After walking for a while, he began to sweat.

Shen Chuwei and the others also returned to their seats and sat down, thinking it was just a false alarm, so they drank tea together to calm down.

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 and poured a cup of tea 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 Chuwei shook his head. "My butt hurts from riding a horse. I don't want to ride a horse."

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 barbecue when they come back." Shen Chuwei became a little excited after she said this. Xiao Jinyan will definitely 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, Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan's eyes lit up.

"The imperial chef in the palace isn't as delicious as Chunxi's baking." Concubine Xu whispered.

Tao Liangyuan echoed: "I think so too."

Shen Chuwei also felt that the meat roasted by the imperial chef 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 glanced at him and said, "Who knows? Maybe she's here to choose a husband."

Shen Chuwei also looked over curiously and saw that Miss Han was holding a small gray rabbit in her arms. The rabbit looked exactly like Yuangungun 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 went, and she couldn't get rid of him.

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

The emperor said, "Queen, you have not left the palace for a long time. It would be better for you to go hunting with me."

Queen: "..." Who is willing to hunt with you? At this time, the emperor held a bow and arrow in his hand, and found something unusual in the bushes not far away, so he drew his bow and released an arrow.

The queen also saw it and said, "If you always follow me, I will snatch the prey from you." She drew her bow and shot an arrow, aiming at the same target as the emperor.

The two arrows shot towards the prey in the grass almost at the same time.

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

"The queen is good at archery."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise." The queen gripped the reins tightly, kicked the horse's belly, and walked towards the direction of the prey.

The emperor did not compete with the queen for the prey and let her take it.

When the queen came to 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 down to pick up the prey when a python suddenly emerged from behind a tree, spitting out its tongue.

Just when 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 her body was so frightened that she forgot to react. It was too late for her to dodge.

When the emperor discovered the python, it was too late because of its size. He quickly drew out the arrow, aimed at the python's head and shot.

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

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 rode his horse towards her, and when he was close, he jumped off the horse, grabbed the queen'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 was facing a formidable 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 time, turned around and saw the python with its bloody mouth wide open, she hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful."

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

I heard that snakes should be struck at the most vulnerable part, and the same should apply to pythons.

In a hurry, the queen saw the arrow feathers on the deer, reached out and pulled 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 would not listen to the emperor's words. She had only one goal, which was to take the python's life.

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

The python looked huge, but it was very agile, so it dodged the sword and attacked the queen.

At this time, the queen clenched the arrow feathers and stabbed them 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 queen's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and used his body to protect the queen. However, his shoulder was bitten by the python.

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, but only now did she realize that she had never let go, she just didn't want to talk about it.

When the python reacted, the emperor clenched his sword and stabbed the snake again. After the python struggled violently, it collapsed to the ground, spitting blood from its mouth and died.

The queen saw that the dog emperor's shoulder was covered in blood and 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 splattered on her body, and he didn't know if she was injured.

"Are you hurt 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 be crippled.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the queen, "It's good that the queen is not injured. It's nothing for me to be injured."

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

"There is no imperial physician or medicine here. It will be useless even if we see him. We should go get 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 the emperor, and that was why he was faced with such a dangerous situation.

When the queen looked back, she 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 share one.

The Queen was sitting 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 inevitable that it was a little awkward for them to be so close now.

The emperor held the queen in his arms. It had been a long time since he had ridden a horse so closely. He suddenly missed them when they were young.

The Queen felt very uncomfortable being hugged by 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 rode the horse slowly, enjoying the leisurely and warm moment.

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 don't bandage the wound in time, it will bleed a lot."

The emperor lied with his eyes open: "Empress, I am injured. I can't go too fast, it will only make the blood flow faster."

The queen paused when she heard this. Because she was too worried about the dog emperor, she actually felt that what the dog emperor said made some sense. So she gave 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 that Xuetuan was not there. She opened her eyes suddenly and found that the seat next to her was empty.

Thinking about how he was in a hurry to find Concubine Xu just now, Xuetuan should have run out at that time.

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

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

Shen Chuwei didn't care about anything else and went to find 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 saw her drink a lot of tea just now.

Shen Chuwei looked for a while, but couldn't find Xuetuan. She was so anxious that she thought Xuetuan might be lost. Just as Shen Chuwei was anxious, she saw a man in black holding a snow-white cat in the distance. 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, lifting 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 Xuetuan back to me now."
