Outside, it was getting dark.

After Li Xiao finished eating, he got up and went out to find some dead branches and put them at the mouth of the cave to dry.

"Queen Mother, the ministers will keep vigil, you can rest in peace."

Pet Ai hummed lightly and closed her eyes.

Tomorrow, she must hurry up and get out of the bottom of the cliff and rush back to Kyoto to implement the plan, and she must replenish her strength.

Midnight.

Outside the cave, there was the sound of animals stepping on dead branches.

Li Xiao hurriedly got up and walked over, gently pushed the pet Ai, and called in a low voice: "Queen Mother, wake up." ”

Pet Ai opened her eyes and subconsciously grabbed Li Xiao's wrist and twisted him to the side.

"Whew~!" Suddenly a wolf roar came from the mouth of the cave.

Pet Ai couldn't help but let go of her hand and looked over there in a daze.

Li Xiao didn't care so much, picked up a wooden stick in his hand, and said with a protective guard: "Queen Mother, you stand back a little." ”

There was such a big wolf under the cliff, and he didn't have a sword in his hand, so it must have been extremely difficult to deal with.

The wolf that appeared at the mouth of the cave had messy gray hair on its body, and it looked like a wild wolf that had been hungry in the mountains for a long time, no wonder Li Xiao didn't recognize it as a wolf that appeared in the palace.

Pet Ai pushed Li Xiao away and walked towards it.

It takes hours to ride a horse from the palace to the palace, how can it become a wolf again? And he came out of the palace and chased all the way to the bottom of the cliff!

Pet Ai walked over to help it get rid of the snow and dead leaves on its head, and scolded in a low voice: "Little Xuanyuan, you stupid wolf." ”

"Queen Mother, ...... it?" Li Xiao was a little surprised, the wolf was intimate with her.

Pet Ai looked back and said, "It's my wolf." ”

Li Xiao was shocked in his heart, this wolf is so loyal? Actually rushed from the palace to the bottom of the cliff?

Xuanyuan Jin glared at Li Xiao, and when he heard the real-time report of the secret guard in the palace, he almost vomited blood in a hurry.

The secret guard came with the news that the Queen Mother had fallen off the cliff, and Jixiang and Ruyi, who were escorted back to the palace, cried like that, and his heart ached.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses.

He turned into a wolf again, and despite the heavy snow, he found all the way to the cliff, climbed down another mountain wall, and finally found her in this cave.

Good thing she's okay!

The hanging heart relaxed, its limbs were a little weak, and it reluctantly followed the pet to the fire and lay on the ground.

Pet Ai said to Li Xiao: "Can you give me a piece of cloth?" ”

Xuanyuan Jin's huge wolf body hair was messy, and there were some traces of hanging wounds, which needed to be wiped with a cloth.

Of course, Li Xiao obeyed the order, and reached out to tear a piece of fabric from the corner of his clothes and gave it to her.

The pet lowered her head and carefully wiped the wolf's hair, and her delicate eyebrows were extremely soft in the firelight.

Li Xiao suspected that he was dazzled, and his heart was a little weird, how could the Queen Mother's care of this wolf be a bit like taking care of her lover?

Xuanyuan Jin fell asleep tired by the fire, and her heart became soft, and she touched his head lovingly.

The night passed quickly.

Following.

Pet Ai sat on the wolf, Li Xiao held the sword found from outside in the early morning in his hand, and the two wolves were ready to leave the bottom of the cliff.

Fortunately, with Xuanyuan Jin by his side, they soon left the bottom of the cliff and heard some news.

The Empress Dowager was assassinated by thieves on the way back to the palace, and General Li was seriously wounded on the battlefield and disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Emperor Xuanyuan Jin was seriously ill in bed and could not go to court, and the regent and his courtiers intended to force the palace and force the emperor to abdicate.
