Things happened so suddenly. Faced with the tiger's attack, Shen Ruoyan's reaction was half a beat too slow.

With no time to escape, Shen Ruoyan could only stand still, watching the blind beast open its bloody mouth and reveal its sharp fangs towards herself.

A fishy smell sprayed on Shen Ruoyan's face, and she closed her eyes in fear.

In the flash of lightning, he did not feel the expected pain, but was protected in a strong embrace.

Opening her eyes, she saw a piece of crimson clothing in front of her. When she raised her head, Lu Yan's delicate jawline came into Shen Ruoyan's eyes.

It turned out that it was Lu Yan who blocked the fatal sudden attack for her.

The man narrowed his phoenix eyes, and what was revealed in his eyes was a killing intent that Shen Ruoyan had never seen before. He pulled out the long knife stuck on the ground, and stabbed it straight into the tiger's open mouth. .

With a "hiss~" sound, tiger blood sprayed out.

The sky was filled with red, making Shen Ruoyan feel like a blood-red rain was falling in front of her eyes.

Lu Yan used his body to block Shen Ruoyan, protecting her whole body tightly in his arms without letting her get a trace of blood.

Shen Ruoyan raised her head and looked at the man close at hand.

Drops of blood hung down his hair, winding down Lu Yan's cold white skin, making him look like an evil Shura who came from hell, extremely cruel and charming.

Shen Ruoyan seemed to be bewitched, staring blankly at the man covered in blood in front of her, and saw him smiling at her with an extremely gentle smile.

"Sister Ayan!"

The voice of the fifth prince came from behind, and Shen Ruoyan suddenly woke up.

Lu Yan frowned, but said nothing. He just held Shen Ruoyan's hand without letting go.

"Sister Ayan, are you injured?" The fifth prince jumped off the horse in a hurry, ran to Shen Ruoyan in a few steps, and said anxiously, "I met your mother and Mrs. Li on the way, and I knew you were in danger. He immediately rushed over with his people.”

Shen Ruoyan waved her hands, trying to say that she was fine, but then she saw that her hands were covered with blood. It might have been from when she hugged Lu Yan just now. I wonder if the blood stains were from the tiger or Lu Yan?

Only then did Shen Ruoyan realize that Lu Yan was still holding her tightly, and she immediately broke away from Lu Yan's arms.

The fifth prince handed her a clean silk handkerchief and said considerately:

"Sister Ayan, it's okay. Just wipe it off."

"Thank you, brother Luo Kai."

Although Shen Ruoyan thanked her, she didn't take it with her hand. She directly wiped her hand on her skirt. Her clothes were already dirty anyway, so there was no need to waste another good handkerchief.

Seeing that Shen Ruoyan was not grateful, the fifth prince was not angry and took the veil back with a smile.

Shen Ruoyan wiped the blood off her hands and asked the fifth prince:

"Where are my mother and Mrs. Li?"

"Don't worry, they are all fine. I sent two people to escort them back."

Shen Ruoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her mother and Mrs. Li were safe.

The guards brought by the fifth prince were well-trained to clean up the scene. Not long after, a large number of people arrived. They were all Yulin troops who heard that a beast had emerged and came to the rescue.

The leader was the captain of the Yulin Army. When he heard the news just now, everyone was frightened. He was responsible for Qiu Lie's safety work. He had never encountered such a situation in previous years.

He was originally following the Holy Master to protect him today. When he heard that a tiger suddenly jumped out and hurt people in Guolin, he immediately led his people and rushed over.

Seeing that there were more and more people in the forest, Shen Ruoyan quietly walked to a corner of the forest, trying to get the sachet back when no one noticed her. But when she got there, she found that there was only a bloody stick stuck on the ground. The branch and the sachet on it disappeared!

Who took the sachet?

Looking at the officers and soldiers coming and going around her, Shen Ruoyan felt a chill in her back. Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes was hiding among them.

Could that person have discovered that he knew the secret of the sachet?

Leaving the scene to the Yulin Army, the fifth prince found Shen Ruoyan in the crowd, waved to her and said:

"Sister Ayan, let me take you back."

Shen Ruoyan responded quickly, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and walked towards the fifth prince.

"Sister Ayan, I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare a sedan. Why don't you ride back with me?"

The situation was special, and Shen Ruoyan didn't care too much. Just when she was about to get on the fifth prince's horse, at that moment, Lu Yan, who had been standing beside her silently, fainted without any warning.

The man fell towards Shen Ruoyan, and Shen Ruoyan instinctively opened her arms and hugged his body.

"Lu Yan!"

Shen Ruoyan shouted and used all her strength to hold her up.

Several guards also hurried over and hurriedly helped to support Lu Yan's body.

Lu Yan's eyes were closed tightly, and his body was covered in blood. After some inspection, he discovered that there was a scratch on the shoulder blade on his back. It should have been injured by the tiger when he was protecting Shen Ruoyan just now.

The crimson official uniform was already soaked with blood, making it impossible to tell how badly Lu Yan was injured.

Just after confirming that no one was dead at the scene, the captain of the Yulin Army breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news that Lu Yan had fainted and almost didn't mention it.

You must know that Mr. Lu is a famous person in front of the emperor and is extremely favored by the emperor.

If something happens to this adult, I can't even afford to pay for it with my own life!

The captain quickly called to his subordinates to bring over a stretcher.

Shen Ruoyan wanted to hand the person over to them, but although Lu Yan fainted, his hand was still holding Shen Ruoyan's sleeve tightly. Due to the presence of others and Lu Yan's own injuries, Shen Ruoyan was embarrassed to put his He forcefully opened his hand and had no choice but to stay with Lu Yan and accompany him back to the palace.

The crisis finally came to an end. Fortunately, unlike the previous life, no one died in this accident. The only one who was "seriously injured" was Lu Yan.

Because Lu Yan was alone, the courtyard assigned to him by Qiu Lie this time was a relatively simple small courtyard.

Now, the courtyard, which was not big, was crowded with people.

The first ones to arrive were Master Shen and his family.

Hearing that Lu Yan was injured while trying to save his daughter, Mr. Shen immediately rushed over with his whole family. Even Mrs. Shen, whose ankle was swollen, was carried in in a soft sedan.

Before they could sit down, Mrs. Li's voice came from outside the door:

"Oh, if you don't lie down well, what are you doing here? Have your feet been seen? What did the doctor say?"

Seeing the good sisters who had escaped from death together, Mrs. Li walked to Mrs. Shen. The two held hands, as if they were still frightened by what happened just now.
