Qin Yueran looked around and didn't see any figure, only the stone next to him.

Her eyes swept over the stone beside her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The stone looked like a gem the size of an egg, but it was a little strange.

Qin Yueran stretched out her finger and gently touched the stone, feeling the cool touch, and the doubts in her heart became stronger.

She looked at the stone in her hand, wanting to study it carefully, but unfortunately, her head was dizzy and she couldn't exert any strength at all.

Qin Yueran looked at the stone in his hand, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.

This is a stone the size of an egg, and it seems to have been taken out from space.

space?

Did she stay in the space for too long?

Qin Yuran recalled what happened before she fell into a coma. She remembered that she seemed to be surrounded by a group of wild wolves, and then the group of wild wolves pounced on her.

She was bitten by a wolf and then she lost consciousness.

What about the wild wolves?

Qin Yueran thought that before she fell unconscious, she seemed to hear a scream and smelled blood.

That scream...was it coming from the guard whose heart she stabbed?

Qin Yueran was shocked and quickly got up from the ground.

She stood up and walked out of the cave.

She walked out of the cave and found that there was a forest outside the cave. At the end of the forest, she could vaguely see a fire.

She looked at the fire in front of her, frowned, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

Where did this fire come from?

Could it be those guards who set it there?

Thinking of this, Qin Yueran was shocked and quickly quickened his pace.

As she ran, she observed the situation around her.

She found that there was a small pit under her feet, and next to the pit there was a pile of bonfire and firewood. However, the firewood was dry, as if it had been burnt for a long time. It was obvious that it must have been eaten by wild beasts.

And those bonfires were probably left by a group of wild boars or other animals.

Qin Yueran walked further and further away, and she saw several streams in front of her.

The stream is light blue, like a blue river, and the sound of flowing water echoes in the quiet valley.

"Help!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far away, causing Qin Yueran to pause slightly.

Qin Yuran looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures not far away. They were lying by the stream, their bodies covered in mud and blood.

"Ahem..."

One of the women coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. Then she raised her head and looked in the direction of Qin Yueran.

When Qin Yueran saw the woman's appearance, his body trembled slightly, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his body kept retreating.

“It was you…it was you who killed our people?”

When the woman saw Qin Yueran's appearance, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and then she questioned in a cold voice.

Qin Yueran saw that the woman was covered in blood, her clothes were torn, and her cheeks were covered in blood. She looked extremely ferocious and ugly.

When she heard the woman's words, she was slightly startled and the scene of yesterday emerged in her mind.

She thought of those ferocious beasts, the sword that pierced her body, and the body torn apart by the beasts...

She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a chill rising in her heart.

“Who…who are you? Why did you kill those soldiers?”

Qin Yueran's lips trembled, and there was a hint of trembling in her voice.

She was very panicked and afraid, afraid to face those ferocious beasts and wild dogs.

"Hehe...kill them? Why would I kill them? They were sent by the emperor to protect you. Now the emperor is gone. Tell me, should I avenge them?"

When the woman heard Qin Yueran's question, she laughed out loud, her voice full of sarcasm: "Do you think we will let you go?"

"But...but you have already tied me up, haven't you?"

Qin Yueran became anxious when she heard this, and her voice softened. She looked at the woman, her voice full of fear.

She didn't know who these people in front of her were?

Why kidnap her?

Moreover, since they wanted to kidnap her, they must be after the imperial power. Their target was the throne?

No, they were not going to kill her, but to sell her to the royal family and make her a royal concubine!

"Hehe... Then what do you think we should do? Kill you or sell you to those beasts?"

The woman's voice was still eerie, and what she said made Qin Yueran shudder.

"No, no, no, please don't kill me!"

Qin Yueran was so frightened at the thought of marrying those beasts that she immediately knelt down in front of the woman and begged her bitterly.

Although she had never seen a real wild beast, she had heard that those wild beasts had an astonishing appetite. If she were eaten by them, there would probably not even be any bones left, right?

"Humph, who are we? How can we listen to your one-sided words?"

“I really didn’t lie to you!”

Qin Yuran opened his mouth quickly and stretched out his arms as he spoke.

I saw a scar on her arm. The scar was very deep and almost went through her entire arm. It looked very scary.

That scar was left by the beasts biting her last night, and it still hurts so much.

Qin Yueran felt a sharp pain in her arm and couldn't help but gasp.

"The wound on your wrist, was it caused by a wild animal?"

"Um!"

Qin Yuran nodded quickly, fear flashing in her eyes.

She is very scared now.

Wouldn't those wild beasts want to eat her too?

The more Qin Yueran thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. She quickly explained, "I was chased by a wild beast last night, so I ran into the forest and met a group of wild beasts. Those beasts were too ferocious. I was no match for them, so they chased me here!"

"snort!"

"I can tell you one thing. Last night I saw a tall and handsome man chasing a group of wild beasts. Later, he killed all the beasts and threw their bodies into the valley. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

As Qin Yueran spoke, he watched the woman's reaction, wanting to confirm whether his guess was correct.

"The person you are talking about is the emperor?"

When the woman heard Qin Yueran's words, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and then she spoke with a hint of doubt on her face.

"Yes, it's His Majesty the Emperor. He is the Emperor, he is my master, and he gave me everything I have. So, I can't just watch him die. Also, I can't bear to see people in the palace being bullied!"
