It's getting dark outside.

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

"Empress dowager, I will watch the night. Please rest assured."

Pet Yu gave a faint hum and closed her eyes.

To leave Yadi quickly tomorrow and rush back to Kyoto to implement the plan, she must replenish her strength.

Midnight.

Suddenly outside the cave came the sound of animals stepping on dead branches.

Li Xiao hurriedly got up and walked over, gently pushed the pet, and whispered, "empress dowager, wake up."

Chong Yu opened his eyes, subconsciously grabbed Li Xiao's wrist and twisted him aside.

"Ouch!" suddenly a wolf roared from the cave mouth.

Pet can't help but let go of his hand and look over there.

Li Xiao couldn't care so much. He picked up a wooden stick in his hand and protected his pet. "Empress dowager, please step back."

There should be such a big wolf under the cliff. He has no sword in his hand, so it must be very difficult to deal with it.

The wolf appeared at the cave mouth. His gray hair was messy. He looked like a wild wolf who had been hungry for a long time in the mountain. No wonder Li Xiao didn't recognize it as a wolf that had appeared in the imperial palace.

The pet pushed away Li Xiao and walked towards it.

It took several hours to ride from the palace to the palace. How could it turn into a wolf again? But also came out of the palace and pursued all the way to the bottom of the cliff!

The pet went over to help him get rid of the snow and dead leaves on his head and scolded in a low voice, "little Xuanyuan, you silly wolf."

"Empress dowager, is it...?" Li Xiao was surprised that the wolf was close to her.

The pet replied, "it's my wolf."

Li Xiao was shocked. Is the wolf so loyal? From the palace to the bottom of the cliff?

Xuanyuanjin glared at Li Xiao and heard the real-time report of dark Wei in the palace. He was almost angry and wanted to vomit blood.

The news came from the dark guard that the Empress Dowager fell off a cliff and Jixiang Ruyi, who was escorted back to the palace, cried like that. His heart hurt.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

He became a wolf again. Despite the long snow, he found the cliff all the way, climbed down from another mountain wall, and finally found her in this cave.

Luckily she's okay!

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

"Can you give me a piece of cloth?" the pet said to Li Xiao

Xuanyuanjin's huge wolf's hair is messy, and there are some traces of hanging injury. It needs to be wiped with a cloth.

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

The pet lowered her head and carefully wiped the wolf's hair. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes were particularly soft in the fire.

Li Xiao suspected that he was dazzled. He was a little strange in his heart. The Empress Dowager's care for the wolf was a little like taking care of his lover?

Xuanyuanjin lay down beside the fire and fell asleep tired. Pet's heart became soft and touched his head lovingly.

The night passed quickly.

The next day.

Pet Yu sits on the wolf. Li Xiao holds the sword he found outside in the morning. They are ready to leave the bottom of the cliff.

Fortunately, xuanyuanjin was around. Soon they left the bottom of the cliff and heard some news.

The Empress Dowager was assassinated and killed by bandits on the way back to the palace. General Li was seriously injured in the battlefield and disappeared. At present, her whereabouts are unknown.

Emperor xuanyuanjin was seriously ill in bed and couldn't go to the court. The Regent and his officials wanted to force the palace and force the emperor to give up his seat.
