Ti Liu came out of the cave, he broke the branches of the shady tree and arranged them tightly to close the door. He did so that no wild animals would enter the cave.
Since the smell of blood could provoke the pack of wolves, Ti Liu made a ring of flames near the mouth of the cave.
"I'll be right back to save you. Endure the Empress." said Ti Liu.
Ti Liu left the cave, he climbed up the slope at full speed. Shortly after he got to the top, the hunting dog started to sense Ti Liu's presence there.
"Ti Liu!" shouted one of the Eagle troops who saw the figure of Ti Liu running.
King Wei and Yu immediately looked towards the man.
"Your Majesty ."." said Ti Liu as he looked towards King Wei.
Ti Liu immediately drew closer to the entourage, he saluted King Wei and knelt before him.
"Your Majesty, please save the Queen's life" Ti Liu said.
"What's wrong with Se Se? What happened to her?" asked King Wei with a worried face.
"The Empress asked me to hand over this flower to Her Majesty. The empress fell into the abyss while taking this flower." replied Ti Liu as she handed the flower to King Wei.
"Where is he now? Where is the Empress?" asked King Wei in a high tone.
"I took the Empress to a cave under the mountain slope." replied Ti Liu.
"Take me there! Now!!!" king Wei's Order.
Ti Liu stood up, he stepped towards the cave. King Wei and the entourage immediately followed from behind.
"Sir, I will save you now. Please hold on even longer." inwardly Ti Liu.
Ti Liu arrived at the door of the cave, he put out the flames he made and moved the tree branches from the door of the cave. Yu and some of the troops helped Ti Liu get rid of the branches of the tree he had stacked so heavily.
King Wei went first into the cave, he looked very struck when he saw Se Se's body filled with blood. The scuff wound on his face made Se Se look very sad.
King Wei approached, wanting to hug his wife's body, but Ti Liu immediately prevented King Wei.
"Your Majesty, some of the Empress' bones are cracked. You must not move the Empress' body carelessly." said Ti Liu.
Se Se heard the commotion, he opened his eyes that were closed due to fatigue and pain.
"Xuan .. " call her in a small and slow voice.
"I'm sorry! It's all because of me." said King Wei.
Se Se smiled looking at King Wei who had returned to being gentle, he raised his arm about to touch King Wei's face.
King Wei as if knowing Se Se's thoughts, he grasped Se Se's palm and brought her to touch King Wei's face.
"Welcome back, my husband" Se Se said before losing consciousness.
King Wei panicked to see that weak Se Se.
"Hurry and bring the doctor here!" shouted King Wei.
Yu who had the best ability and the fastest movement among the troops immediately returned to the residence. He brought the healer and a female servant along with him back to the cave under the mountain slope.
Ti Liu waited anxiously in front of the cave, he felt very guilty and regretful for not being able to protect Se Se well.
Yu patted Ti Liu's shoulder, as if knowing the contents of his friend's mind.
"It's not your fault. You have done your best." said Yu.
"It's my fault, if I were to realize the situation sooner, the Empress won't be hurt." Ti Liu replied.
"Even if you stop the Empress, she will still take the flowers to save Her Majesty" Yu said.
Ti Liu had told about his conversation with the Empress regarding the reason why Se Se took the flower. The Eagle army was amazed by the bravery of their Empress.
"At least I can replace the Empress to take the flower" Ti Liu said.
"The empress is not the type of person who will endanger the lives of others to get what she wants. You will not be able to change the Empress's destiny." said Yu.
"Maybe this is a good thing, with this incident I hope Your Majesty will have no more doubts towards the Empress." Inner Yu.
King Wei stood guard beside Se Se who was lying on a haystack. The Eagle and Yu troops prepared their dinner in front of the cave.
"Your Majesty, we prepared this meal for you" said Yu, handing over a perfectly burnt bird.
"I'm not hungry, you eat." replied King Wei.
"Eat a little, Your Majesty has not eaten anything today" said Yu.
"How can I eat in the Queen's condition?" said King Wei.
"Your Majesty, I'm sure the Empress doesn't want to see you torture yourself like this either. Please eat a little and take care of your health" said Yu.
"Come out, I want to be here alone with the Empress" King Wei said as he received food from Yu.
Yu stepped out of the cave, he let out a long sigh and turned to stare towards the door of the cave.
"I know you just accept it without intending to eat it. I hope Your Majesty will be fine." Inner Yu.
Not only King of Wei, Ti Liu also avoided the gathering of the Eagle Army and was alone on the tree without having dinner. He stared at the cave while thinking "Is the Empress okay? Is he conscious?"
Yu sat leaning in front of the cave door, he stood guard to protect King Wei's safety without sleeping at all. While the Eagle army was sound asleep on the trees around the cave.
Ti Liu stayed up all night with Yu, he came down from the tree where he lay and recounted his gloomy childhood before meeting Se Se and King Wei.
Yu began to understand why Ti Liu had been so quiet in the past, he also never refuted when given a heavy duty.
"The poor boy who was afraid to get rid of." Those were the words that were in Yu's mind.
The day started to light up, King Wei was still sitting beside Se Se while occasionally wiping away the cold sweat on his wife's agonized face.
"wansong ... Xuan ..." only that name came out of the Empress' mouth from night until morning. He continued to mention King Wei's name as if the man would disappear if he did not call out to him.
"What have I done to my little girl? Why can I doubt it again and again. I really am the worst husband." muttered King Wei.
