Thinking about it, Hua Mu Jin felt a chill run down her spine.

Because she didn't have the time to pick up the sword on the ground, Hua Mujiao was empty-handed at the moment. She didn't know how to deal with the two ferocious tigers that were eyeing her covetously from the ground.

The two tigers stared at the hibiscus in the tree as if they were looking for revenge. Even the snow in the distance was unattractive to them.

Even though this was the Royal Hunt, wasn't there a bit too many tigers in this hunt?

Looking left and right, Hua Mujiao found a chance to retrieve her sword.

He landed on the ground in a flash. When he held the sword in his hand, in order to avoid the tiger's pounce, Hua Mujiao rolled a few times on the ground before finally dodging.

Due to her injuries, she was too exhausted. Even though she had killed another tiger, there was still one that was staring at her ferociously.

Using the sword to support her body, Hua Mujiao bit her lower lip and raised her eyes to meet the tiger's gaze.

Although she was exhausted at the moment, she did not want to become food for the tiger in front of her.

Holding the sharp sword in her hand, Hua Mujiao tried her best to support her body, preparing to finish off the tiger with her last bit of strength.

However, before she could make a move, the tiger pounced at her.

Hua Mujie could not dodge in time and was knocked to the ground by the tiger's claws.

Seeing the fierce tiger open its mouth wide, baring its sharp and hard fangs and biting towards Hua Mujiao who was beneath it, Hua Mujiao closed her eyes. She knew that this bite was enough to take her life.

"Roar ~ ~" Aoo …

The tiger suddenly let out a pitiful cry. Hua Mujin opened her eyes and saw a furious face on the south island.

"I say, woman, you're already so injured, yet you still dare to fight against tigers? Do you not want your life?"

Without knowing when, Nanyu appeared, she pulled up Hua Mu Jin from the ground, her tone full of reproach.

At the side was a tiger lying in a pool of blood.

"Why are you here?"

After taking back her life from the hands of the Grim Reaper, Hua Mujiao still had lingering fear in her heart. She bitterly smiled and forced herself to remain calm.

Looking at Hua Mu Jin angrily, Nanyu's face still had a few traces of anger.

"Didn't I say that I would come and see you after this? Have you ever seen a stupid woman like you feeding a tiger? Are you tired of living? "

After listening to Nantan's reproach, Hibiscus vulgaris unhurriedly dragged its body away from White Snow, then tied the three tigers with a rope. The other end of the rope was tied to White Snow's body.

"Nanyu, thank you. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

In order to lighten the burden of the snow, Hibiscus vulgaris did not mount the horse. Instead, it held onto the reins of its horse and dragged its heavy body towards the camp.

"Halt!"

She had only taken a few steps when the south island blocked her way.

With a cold face, he looked up and down the bloody Hibiscus vulgaris and asked, "Is he worth so much to you? Is he in danger?"

Originally, fighting with a tiger had already exhausted Hua Mujiao's strength, but now she even found it difficult to speak.

Raising his head, he looked at the south island, while the hibiscus fragrans his lips, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Since he is willing to sacrifice his life to block the arrow for me, why can't I take the risk for him? I don't have the time or strength to talk to you right now. I'll save your life, and you'll save mine. We're even now.

With that, Hua Mujie led the white snow around the South Island and left.

On the ground, were the bloodstains left behind by tied-up tigers.

Watching Hua Mu Jin's figure gradually disappear, the corner of Nan Yu's mouth raised, showing a slight curve.

Pearl was anxiously walking back and forth near the hunting grounds. She kept looking around, hoping to catch a glimpse of her master's back.

Her wait was not in vain.

Not long after, Hua Mu Jin really did appear in her line of sight.

"Esteemed Empress, esteemed Empress …" Pearl's eyes were moist as she trotted forward, worry written all over her face.

"Esteemed Empress, you must be worried about this servant. I thought, I thought … I thought …"

With a helpless smile, Hua Mujiao's complexion had already become pale and bloodless. She had the three tigers that she had hunted back to the campsite with the guards waiting at the back.

"White..." Your Majesty, is he alright? "

Hua Mujiao's consciousness gradually began to fade, but what she was most concerned about was still the wounds from the battle.

Hearing this, Pearl wrinkled her brows, hesitating to speak.

He held onto the hibiscus until they reached the entrance of the hunting grounds before replying, "The emperor's injuries aren't too severe, but this servant heard that the arrows that pierced the emperor's back were smeared with deadly poison. Although the poison was cured, the emperor is still unconscious and has yet to awaken."

"You, what did you say?"

Hearing this, Hua Mu Jin became anxious.

He pushed the pearl away and staggered towards the palace. However, after running a few steps, his body suddenly lost its weight. His vision turned dark and he fell to the ground.

"Empress, Empress, what's wrong? Don't scare this servant, esteemed …"

All of a sudden, Pearl started to cry.

"Someone, quick, someone come! Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician …"

Pearl's wailing immediately attracted the attention of the guards.

After being carried back to the tent, Hua Mujiao was still in a coma. The Imperial Physician's diagnosis was that Hua Mujiao had fainted because of an attack on her heart, and because she had lost too much blood and physical strength, she had fainted.

After the royal physician's diagnosis was completed, the pearl was used to clean and apply the medicine to the wound. Only after that did the royal physician leave.

In front of his eyes, it was pitch black. It was as if he was in an abyss and there was not a single trace of light.

Hua Mu Jin felt her way forward. She didn't know how long she had been walking, but when she saw a crack in the wall, a glimmer of light shone through, and she also saw hope.

Suddenly, the light from the crack appeared as if someone had pushed open a door of darkness. The blinding light made Hua Mu Jin close her eyes.

Then, a little girl's voice entered his ears.

"Hey, what if I can't go back? I don't want to stay here forever. There's nothing here, and I'll be bored to death. "

Opening her eyes, Hua Mu Jin saw a little girl lying on the grass. Beside her was a boy who looked to be around 15 or 16 years old.

"There's nothing bad about staying here. At least you still have me."

The boy turned his head and looked at the little girl affectionately, his face full of smiles.

At this time, Hua Mujiao could clearly see that the boy had a face that was completely similar to Bai Zhanzheng's, except that it was slightly young and immature.

Just as Hua Mu Jin wanted to go over, the little girl lying on the ground opened her mouth loudly.

"No way!"

Hearing her words, the little girl immediately sat up, pouting adorably.

"I am currently occupying someone else's body, and I can also feel her aura. If I don't go back, I can't possibly keep occupying her body, right? It is not good to do so. What's more, I'm not used to staying here. This so-called 'Huan Yue Country', it's too hot in the summer, I can't take it anymore. "

With her cheeks puffed up, the little girl looked both angry and coquettish. She looked extremely adorable.

However, after seeing Hua Mu Jin for a while, the little girl's face became so blurry that it was impossible to see her clearly.

"If you leave, won't you never see me again?"

The boy opened his mouth with a sad expression.

Behind him, a black hole suddenly appeared, as if it wanted to suck the boy in. It was extremely terrifying.

Hua Mujiao was scared stiff. She wanted to step forward, but she couldn't move.

He kept shouting out Bai Zhan Ke's name again and again.

"White Battle Cake, White War Cake, White War Cake …"

"Empress, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Your servant is here, not afraid, not afraid … "

Opening her eyes, Hua Mujiao looked at the top of the tent and realized that everything that just happened was just a dream.

However, this dream gave her a sense of reality.

Remembering the scene before she fainted, Hua Mu Jin suddenly sat up, placed both hands on Pearl's shoulders, and anxiously and worriedly asked: "Where's the White War Cake? Where's the Emperor? Has he woken up yet? Hurry up and say it! "

Shaking the pearl, Hua Mujie urgently wants to know the status quo of Bai Zhan Ke.

Pearl, somewhat dizzy from the shaking, hurriedly replied, "Empress, calm down. The Emperor is fine, Vice Commander Luo just sent a message saying that the Emperor has already awoken. The Prince and several ministers are in the palace, as if discussing some important matter."

As soon as she heard that Bai Zhan Ke had awoken, Hua Mujiao felt slightly more at ease.

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine …"

As she muttered to herself, she seemed to have thought of something and frowned.

After that, he instructed Pearl, "Go and get me some clothes. I want to go to the hall. Hurry!"

"But, esteemed …"

"Go get it."

Hua Mujie's expression was somewhat anxious, and Pearl was helpless as she could only obey his orders.

When she was done changing, Pearl supported Hibiscus vulgaris to the outside of the palace.

"Empress, you're wounded, why have you come here?" Outside the hall, Zhang Quan De asked.

She ignored Zhang Quan De's words, directly asking: "Where's the Emperor?"

Turning his head to look at the hall, Zhang Quan De leaned over and said in a low voice beside Hua Mujiao.

"The emperor is inside. His highness had just entered not long ago, so this servant heard it. It sounds like his highness is having a hunting contest with his highness." "The emperor has just woken up. I don't know what the prince is thinking, but he won't let the emperor have a good rest first."

Zhang Quan De spoke calmly, but Hua Mu Jin could hear the meaning behind his words.

"Go inform the emperor that I request to see him."

Hearing her words, Zhang Quan De looked at Pearl and found it difficult to make up his mind.

"Empress, there is nothing wrong with you entering, but pearls cannot enter."

The palace where the Emperor slept, even if it was just a temporary manor for hunting, was not a place that anyone could casually enter.

Hua Mujiao naturally understood what was going on. She turned her head towards the pearl and said, "Zhuan Zhu, go back to your tent and prepare some hot water for me. I'll go back later so that I can take a bath."

"Yes, Empress."

Holding back the pearl, Hua Mu Jin walked straight into the palace.

Inside the palace hall, Bai Zhan Ke sat on his bed. Before him was Bai Ling Yu and several ministers.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty …"

Bai Zhan Ke raised his eyes, the corners of his lips curving upwards slightly as he saw Hua Mu Jin.

"Jin'er, come over."

She walked towards Bai Zhan Ke and was pulled aside to sit with him.

"Is your injury alright?"

Worried, she looked at the wounded area behind Bai Zhan Ke, and a slight pained look appeared in Hua Mujiao's eyes.

"I'm fine. Has the imperial physician seen your injuries?"
