When she saw the flower hibiscus holding the white battle clam, Pearl quickly ran over.

"Your Majesty, esteemed imperial concubine, what happened to you all? Why did you receive such heavy injuries …"

Seeing that Hua Mu Jin was covered in blood, Bai Zhan Ke's back was also pierced by the arrow, the pearl choked with sobs, and began to cry.

"This subordinate came here to save Your Majesty, please punish him!"

All the guards kneeled on the ground when they saw Bai Zhan Ke.

Hua Mu Jin frowned and said sternly: "What are you all kneeling for, your Vice Commander Luo is still fighting with the hitman in front, why aren't you all getting up to help?"

"Yes, this subordinate will go right away!"

At this moment, Hua Mu Jin's order was still very useful in the eyes of the guards.

All the imperial guards stood up. The leader of the imperial guards instructed the imperial guards behind him, "All of you, stay behind to protect the emperor and the Empress. The rest of you, follow me."

"Wait." The guard wanted to lead his men to save Luo Chen, but Hua Mujiao suddenly called out to him.

With a move of her lips, Hua Mujiao lowered her voice and coldly said, "Remember, don't let even one of you escape for me. If you can leave them alive, leave them alive. If you can't, then kill them!"

"Yes sir!"

When the guards rushed over to Luo Chen's side, there were only two of them left. The two guards, including Luo Chen, were covered in blood.

"Crap, retreat, retreat!"

The appearance of the guards made the assassin panic.

When the knife-scarred man saw the guard, he ordered the other killers to retreat.

But how could the guards give them the chance to retreat? He stepped forward and began to fight with the assassin.

The knife-scarred man knew that it would be hard for them to escape this time. His eyes rolled and the corner of his mouth hooked into a sinister smile.

"You guys stay here first. I'll go and see if there is a way out. If I don't come back soon, you guys just follow my path."

With that, the knife-scarred man flew up the tree, using his brothers to block the guards for him.

"Boss, you can't abandon us, boss …"

The assassin obviously heard that the knife-scarred man wanted to run away by himself and shouted loudly. However, the knife-scarred man had already disappeared.

After a while, the remaining killers were killed one by one by the guards. The floor was littered with the dead bodies of the killers.

Amongst them, there were also the corpses of a few guards.

"Vice Commander, are you alright?"

At this moment, Luo Chen was sitting on the ground, exhausted.

With great difficulty, he forced out a smile. Looking at the corpse of a distant guard, he self-deprecatingly said, "He won't die!"

"Someone come, quickly help the vice commander and the two guards. Send someone to have the imperial physician wait inside the palace. The emperor is under fire and needs timely treatment."

"Yes sir!"

"Wait!"

Although the battle was over, Luo Chen was unwilling to part with his imperial bodyguards and brothers. He instructed, "Have everyone bring their corpses back and bury them properly."

"Yes."

On the other side, Hibiscus vulgaris was injured and could not be supported by the bodyguards, so it was necessary to lead the way.

As for the hibiscus, it was the pearl and the Vossin that were supporting it.

Pearl looked at the hibiscus floral with a pained expression.

"Empress, is your injury painful? "How could they be so severely injured? How could those people be so cruel to you? Their blood has almost dyed your clothes red."

Hua Mu Jin seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and changed the topic: "Pearl, how long have I been in the hunting grounds? Are there four hours? "

Pearl looked doubtful, not understanding why Hibiscus vulgaris would ask about this at such a time.

"There is only half an incense stick of time left before four hours have passed. It is because you and the emperor have been in the hunting grounds for too long that I wanted to come in and look for you, but I heard the sounds of fighting. That's why I came looking for guards."

"Half an incense stick of time?"

According to ancient calculations, half an hour should have passed.

In other words, the time for the duel between Bai Zhan Ke and Bai Ling Yu had yet to come.

"How about this, you go back first, I still have some matters to attend to."

Leaving the pearl and the phoenix, Hua Mujie turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the campsite.

"Empress, where are you going?"

She followed closely and did not try to dissuade her. "You're still injured. If there's anything you need help with, the imperial guards can do it for you. If this continues, blood will continue to flow."

"Hush, lower your voice, don't let the emperor hear you." Hua Mujiao stretched out her hand to cover Pearl's mouth, not forgetting to look forward to see if she had been discovered by Bai Zhan Ke.

At the side, Fuxin seemed to have seen through Hua Mujiao's thoughts as he asked.

"Empress, are you going to drag the tiger back to the camp?"

Turning his head, he met Fuxin's eyes. Hua Mujie smiled.

"What? You want to help me?"

"This subordinate is only responsible for secretly protecting the Empress's safety. If the Empress orders, this subordinate will naturally follow your orders." "But there's one thing your subordinate should remind you that those jackals and tigers have been drugged and tamed. Even if you moved back, Your Highness still wouldn't admit it."

Hearing this, Hua Mu Jin frowned.

Although she didn't trust Fu Xin, her words made sense.

If these jackals and tigers were really caused by Bai Linyu, then he could naturally see that they had been drugged and tamed.

If he were to use this as an excuse and say that he had been tamed as an act, even if Bai Zhanji wanted to explain himself, based on Bai Lingyu's character, she would definitely not give him the chance to do so.

While thinking, Hua Mu Jin raised his head and exhaled.

He turned his head to look at Fuxin.

Hua Mu Jin's eyes emitted a sense of doubt.

"Fuxin, since your master ordered you to protect my safety in secret, then why didn't you show up when my master and the Emperor met an assassin?"

Standing up, Fuxin was stunned at first. Then, he smiled and replied.

"To reply the Empress, everything that happened today was within master's expectations. If the Empress does not like to be watched, the mistress will order the subordinate not to reveal himself as he pleases." "As for the last wave of assassins, I did not expect that they were here for you, your highness. It was only when Master was injured that your subordinate revealed himself."

There were no contradictions in his words, and they were convincing.

Hua Mu Jin withdrew his suspicion towards her, and then asked: "Since you are hiding in the dark, you should naturally know where a tiger can be hunted, right? You only need to tell me where the tiger's lair is, and I don't need you to act. "

Hua Mujie realized that Fu Xin didn't actually want to protect her. Since she didn't want to, why should she care?

"From here to the north, until the end, is where the tiger lives."

Her lips parted, but there was no trace of a smile in Hua Mujie's eyes.

"Thank you."

"Empress, you are still injured. How can you go hunting for tigers by yourself? "What if …"

"Why are you so long-winded, like an old woman?"

Hua Mujiao scolded her and stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Fu Xin.

"Fuxin, help me get the pearls safely back to camp, and don't let anyone know that I'm hunting, especially White Feather's men. "In addition, send people to wait at the entrance of the hunting grounds."

"As the Empress commands, this subordinate will naturally obey."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he stepped forward, grabbed the pearl, and pulled her away from the camp.

"You, let go. Esteemed Empress, esteemed Empress, you can't go! You're still injured, so how could you go hunting tigers? Esteemed …

When the pearl was dragged far away until it disappeared, Hibiscus vulgaris let out a deep sigh.

She had no idea how big the hunting grounds were. Was the place where the tiger lived at the end of the journey to the north? However, if it was just her injuries, even if she forced herself to use her movement technique, she would definitely not be able to make it in time.

Not to mention, she was also an idiot …

Thinking about it, Hua Mujie felt a headache coming on.

"Squeak squeak!"

Hua Mujie lightly tapped her toes and was about to use her movement technique to climb the tree when she suddenly heard the horse's cry.

Turning around, he saw a white horse galloping towards her.

"Snow White?"

Previously, when they were fighting those killers, because it was too chaotic, the horses were easily frightened. Now that they had crossed swords with the killers, Hua Mujiao's horses were nowhere to be seen.

White Snow suddenly appeared at this moment, shocking Hua Mujiao.

Pulling on the reins of Snowy's horse, Hua Mu Jin smoothed the smooth fur on her head, "Snowy, how did you get it back?"

Snow White let out two cries, seeming to answer her.

"Be good …"

Climbing onto the horse, Hua Mujiao took out the medicine she had used to stop the bleeding. She simply sprinkled some on her wounds, and then rode on the white snow towards the north of the hunting grounds.

Luo Chen didn't lie to her. This horse was quite intelligent.

Because of the snow, Hibiscus fragrans didn't need to waste energy to use the Qing Gong.

After riding on the snow for a short distance to the north, the snow beneath them suddenly stopped. As if sensing danger, it began to spin restlessly on the spot.

In an instant, Hua Mu Jin also became alert.

"Roar …"

As the tiger's roar sounded out, Hua Mujie calmly comforted White Snow, "Be good and don't be afraid. If there's danger, don't wait for me."

With that, Hua Mu Jin tapped lightly on the trunk of the tree.

Then, he saw a tiger glaring at him.

Holding the sword, Hua Mujiao didn't show the slightest trace of fear on her face. All she knew was that she absolutely couldn't lose the match between Bai Zhan Ke and Bai Ling Yu!

With that thought in mind, Hua Mu Jin flew down to the ground and started to fight with the tiger …

Her body was as light as a swallow, and after a few rounds, Hua Mu Jin's stamina had reached its limit, so she didn't want to waste any more energy. Hua Mu Jin used her lightness technique, and just as the tiger raised its head to look at her, she slashed down from the sky, piercing the tiger's throat.

"I don't know why the ancient people liked to hunt, let alone killing a person with fatigue. If I'm not careful, I might lose my life. Is there something wrong with the ancient people's brains?"

Looking at the slowly dying tiger on the ground, Hua Mu Jin muttered to herself.

Just as he was about to let White Snow come over, he saw White Snow spinning around on the spot as she cried out.

Frowning, Hua Mu Jin reflexively flew up the tree trunk.

Only at this moment did she see two ferocious tigers stealthily approaching from behind her without her knowing. If she hadn't reacted in time and flew up onto the tree trunk, she probably would have been pounced on by the tiger and torn to shreds …
