As long as it makes sense.
Bai Zhirou breathed a sigh of relief and decided to find a way to get the person out first. This was a desolate place surrounded by trees and there was no telling if there would be any wild animals.
The two of them walked out of the shabby house and saw a winding path in front of them. Some of the steps were so worn that moss grew on them.
This place is actually several kilometers away from Puguang Temple!
I don’t know how the Queen Mother managed to run such a long way up the mountain to get here alone.
The sky has darkened now, and the forest at dusk is gradually shrouded in darkness.
The strange cries of unknown birds were heard in the forest, each sound was sharp and long, which made people get goose bumps.
If we don’t go out now, it will be night time. It looks scary here!
But the Queen Mother seemed to be having fun, walking on the mossy steps and laughing like a naughty child, as if she was not afraid at all.
Bai Zhirou smiled bitterly, responding to the Queen Mother's actions.
She opened the map and began to search for Mingcui's location. She found that she was heading this way, but there were many forks in the road halfway, and she stopped there for a long time.
It will be easy if we know Mingcui’s location.
Bai Zhirou supported the Queen Mother's arm and walked towards her, but no matter how fast they walked, they could not outrun the setting sun.
Not long after we walked out, the forest became completely dark, and it was now so dark that we couldn't see our hands in front of us.
Bai Zhirou had to help the Queen Mother stop.
She thought that the Queen Mother's thinking was different from that of ordinary people. She might have suffered from Alzheimer's disease and mental damage, so she probably couldn't remember what happened.
"Empress Dowager, do you still remember who I am? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Bai Zhirou asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, the empress dowager narrowed her eyes and moved closer to stare at her face, looking left and right, as if she was trying to see Bai Zhirou more clearly.
Bai Zhirou also let her look at her openly.
After a while, the Queen Mother suddenly realized, "I remember now, aren't you the third son's daughter? You look exactly like your father when he was a child!"
The Queen Mother raised her chin proudly and began to tell the embarrassing stories of Prince Rong when he was a child.
"He is the son of Concubine Xue, and I am not close to him, but he can get along well with the Emperor."
"When he was a child, he was hungry in the middle of the night and sneaked into the imperial kitchen to eat. He was caught by the emperor, and then the two of them ate together until their mouths were full of grease. The eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen noticed that there was always something missing and suspected that someone had stolen it."
"In the end, they caught the two men late at night, and your father blamed the emperor for the incident. A fight broke out between the two men, and your father was beaten up badly, but he still didn't win."
Talking about the past, a kind smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face.
Bai Zhirou took the time to buy a flashlight. The Queen Mother was very curious when she saw it. She stared at the flashlight and touched it again and again.
"What is this? Why is it glowing?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, this is my treasure. I never showed it to anyone before, but now we are good friends who share weal and woe."
"So it's okay to show you, but this is a secret between us! You can't tell anyone."
Bai Zhirou lowered her voice mysteriously.
The Queen Mother immediately nodded in agreement.
No one has ever said to her that they are good friends. It is really great for good friends to have a common secret!
Bai Zhirou looked at the point on the map that was gradually approaching, and the light of the flashlight dispelled the darkness, and she gradually felt relieved.
It turns out that light can give people the best sense of security.
Getting closer!
Very close!
Bai Zhirou turned off the flashlight in advance and was about to shout a few times to attract attention, but unexpectedly the Queen Mother lost her balance and slid down the hillside, dragging Bai Zhirou down with her.
As the world spun, Bai Zhirou's first thought was that she must not let the Queen Mother get hurt!
She was about to hold the person in her arms, using her body to block the various rocks and weeds protruding from the hillside.
As a result, his face and body were covered with cuts of varying sizes.
Shen Zhao, who was holding a torch and looking for someone, suddenly heard a noise. Thinking it might be the Queen Mother or Bai Zhirou, he immediately brought people over to look for them.
When he arrived at the place, he heard crying coming from the bottom of the hill.
"Is it the Empress Dowager? Or Miss Bai?" he called out tentatively.
The crying below really paused for a moment, "It's me, it's Ai Jia, Xiao Zhirou is here too."
The Empress Dowager seemed like a helpless old woman, and her voice was filled with tears.
Ming Cui, who was standing by, was relieved when she heard that her young lady was with the Empress Dowager.
But when he thought that both of them had rolled down the hillside, his heart began to hang in his arms again.
"Miss, please say something. Are you hurt?" Ming Cui asked crying.
Bai Zhirou, who had fallen down the hillside, rubbed her head and arms that were hurt by the collision and said, "I'm fine. You guys try to find a way to get the Queen Mother up first."
It was impossible for her to get an adult like the Queen Mother up there by herself, not to mention that she was injured now.
Chen Zhao immediately called for a rope, and Ming Cui held up a torch so that he could see more clearly.
"Xiao Zhirou, can't you take out that shiny thing?" asked the Queen Mother.
"No, I can't let others know that I have this treasure." Bai Zhirou refused decisively.
In this time without electricity, if people knew that she had such a treasure, it might bring her death!
"That is a treasure given to me by an immortal. It can only be used at critical moments. The Queen Mother is a blessed person, so it doesn't matter if she sees it." Bai Zhirou made an excuse.
Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard that it was given by the immortal, her face was full of respect.
Shen Zhao had a rope tied around his waist, and he stepped tentatively on the stones and slid down little by little.
When he arrived at the place and checked the injuries of the two people, he felt relieved.
The Queen Mother was hardly injured, but there were a few hideous cuts on Bai Zhirou's face and exposed skin, which looked a little horrifying.
We will have to wait for the imperial physician to see the details.
Shen Zhao tied the rope around the Queen Mother's waist and asked her to step on his shoulders to carry her up little by little.
Just as Bai Zhirou was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw a long, light-reflecting creature slowly crawling towards her from the corner of her eye.
It was a black and white snake with a yellow head. It looked like the kind that could kill with one bite!
At this moment, it was spitting out its tongue and slowly crawling to Chen Zhao's hand. Its little head slowly stood up, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Chen Zhao didn't know that he was thinking about how to get Bai Zhirou up. Just as he turned his head, the snake was frightened and suddenly attacked!
"careful!"
At the critical moment, Bai Zhirou suddenly pushed the person to the side, and was bitten herself!
Chen Zhao widened his eyes in astonishment. He then realized that the poisonous snake was about to bite him. He didn't expect that after being pushed by Bai Zhirou, he escaped danger but she was bitten!
