The object in Yan Ruyu's hand flickered, emitting colorful light in the dim light.

Chen Mo only felt as if he was hit by light and penetrated into his mind. His mind went blank and he didn't know anything anymore.

Yan Ruyu put away the hypnotic beads, took off the silver needle, and wanted to go to the window and take a look outside.

Since someone rings this kind of hypnotic bell, it means that they have already started to take action and must be prepared.

Just as Yan Ruyu was about to look, there was a slight sound at the back window, as if someone touched the edge of the window.

The sound was very soft, but Yan Ruyu was keenly aware of it.

Holding the dagger in one hand, she walked to the back window and flung it open.

When Huo Changhe heard the voice, he realized something was wrong. Although his mind was dizzy for a moment, he quickly restrained himself.

I wanted to hold on to the wall, but accidentally hit the window.

Yan Ruyu's eyes were slightly cold: "Why is it you?"

Huo Changhe noticed that she was not very happy, and pointed at Huo Changxu beside him: "He, madam, can't worry about you. He also wants to make up for his mistakes and came here specially to have a look, but he doesn't have the ability to sneak in. Madam asked me to bring him here."

Yan Ruyu asked: "How long have you been here?"

"I didn't just arrive. I feel a little dizzy for some reason. I... accidentally touched the window."

Yan Ruyu nodded, thinking that she didn't say anything anyway, so it wouldn't hurt if he heard it.

Huo Changxu's eyes were open, but his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul, which was very strange.

Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changhe: "You are very determined, but it doesn't have any effect on you."

Huo Changhe smiled modestly: "They are all trained in the military. I used to admire the prince and strive to be excellent in all aspects. I hope to work for the prince one day."

Yan Ruyu was suspicious: What does this guy mean by talking about admiring the prince?

Huo Changhe changed the subject: "What are you going to do now? I will cooperate with you."

Yan Ruyu thought that it was good to have a helper, as a person would always be a bit passive.

"You..." Before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from far outside.

Yan Ruyu took out the hypnotic ball, flashed it in front of the stunned Huo Changxu, and then hit him on the head.

Huo Changxu shuddered and woke up suddenly. He saw Yan Ruyu, her face was pale and red, and she didn't know where to start.

"right……"

As soon as he stood up, he was interrupted by Yan Ruyu, who put the dagger into his hand: "Hurry up, I looked carefully when I came in. There is a corner door over there, no one is guarding it. You go there and hide, don't show your face. "

It is impossible to leave through the gate now.

"Remember, no matter what happens, don't come out," Yan Ruyu said quickly and firmly, "This is not the time to be willful."

Huo Changxu's throat rolled up, and he was filled with shame mixed with countless complex emotions.

"how about you?"

"Of course I still have things to do," Yan Ruyu was still a little worried and asked Huo Changhe, "Where are your men? Can they be recruited?"

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, almost reaching the corridor.

Huo Changhe nodded: "Yes, he is nearby."

"Protect him," Yan Ruyu pointed at Huo Changxu.

Huo Changxu was shocked.

Huo Changhe nodded: "Don't worry, I have already given you the order."

"In that case," Yan Ruyu grabbed the lapel of his clothes, "Come in!"

Master Mingde and two Taoist priests opened the door and entered the house.

The light in the room was dim, and there was a heavy smell. The incense burner was still rolling on the floor.

Master Mingde shook the whisk in his hand and looked at Chen Mo: "Is everything done?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."

Master Mingde saw a man and a woman standing in the shadow again, frowned and asked, "Why are there two more people?"

Chen Mo hesitated and said, "I have to come..."

Master Mingde didn't pay much attention: "Since they have come here to seek death, it's up to them."

He walked up to Yan Ruyu and looked at it carefully. Although he had seen it before in front of the gate, he was still surprised when he took a closer look.

"I didn't expect that such a person actually existed. At first, I thought...it was really blessed by God. When luck comes, I can't stop it."

He talked to himself excitedly, but did not reach out to touch Yan Ruyu, as if Yan Ruyu was some rare treasure.

After observing carefully for a while, he told Chen Mo: "I'll light the incense, and you can bring the person here."

After he said that, he turned around and walked out, and the two young Taoist priests immediately followed him.

Chen Mo moved a little slowly, but he followed, and Ruan Xianzao followed behind, dumbfounded.

Yan Ruyu was in third place, and Huo Changhe was behind.

Neither Yan Ruyu nor Huo Changhe lost consciousness, but they were just pretending.

She heard Master Mingde's words just now clearly. It seemed that this incident was no accident, but had been planned for a long time.

As he walked forward, Yan Ruyu glanced at the place where other people lived. It was silent and motionless.

The sound of the blow just now spread throughout the Taoist temple, and everyone else must have lost consciousness just like Ruan Xianzao.

Pass through several courtyards along the way and come to the front hall.

There are three statues in the temple, the middle one is a Taoist priest, like a god, very majestic.

Yan Ruyu didn't know him.

Next to the two seats, one is Master Mingde, and the other... is a woman, also wearing a black and white checkered Taoist robe, with her hair tied up, her fingers pinched, and a half veil on her face.

It's the same as Li Zheng's wife said.

The lights in the main hall were bright, the veil was not particularly thin, and the face covered by it was looming. Despite this, Yan Ruyu recognized at a glance that the appearance of this statue was very similar to hers.

No wonder, when he first met Chen Mo, his expression was strange, and Liu Er blurted out and called her "fairy".

She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she immediately concluded that this was no coincidence.

But how did these people know her appearance, and why did they make such a statue based on her face and place it here?

Even if they are released, they still have to cover up and put a veil on the statue.

All kinds of weird practices left Yan Ruyu puzzled for a while.

Master Mingde lit a few sticks of incense, and Yan Ruyu smelled the incense. Yan Ruyu could tell that the incense... was mixed with other things.

If she didn't fall for the hypnotic voice, then the stuff in the incense could make her delirious and keep telling the truth.

Unexpectedly, in such an inconspicuous place, these harmful methods are endless.

She was not afraid, but... the boss was followed behind her.

She took out a pill that could cure hundreds of poisons, flicked it towards Huo Changhe with a flick of her finger.

Huo Changhe was also startled by the statue. He was looking at Yan Ruyu's back and happened to see her flicking the pill.

Quickly opening his palm to catch it, Huo Changhe threw it into his mouth without hesitation.

Immediately, I saw Master Mingde walking up to Ruan Xianzao holding incense.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

"Ruan Xianzao, a native of Xiaoxinzhuang Village, Wangkou Town, later moved to the palace and lived there."

"How did you climb up?"

"I used to be a singer in a theater troupe, and I didn't want to suffer the pain of learning to sing. I happened to meet a mother and daughter and overheard their conversation.

It was said that he knew the nobles of the royal palace in the capital and had some friendship with him.

I was so excited that I followed them to the inn where they were staying, bought some arsenic to poison them, took the token and ran away, and that was it. "

Yan Ruyu's heart sank suddenly.

I knew Ruan Xianzao was lying a lot, but I didn't expect that he even made up his life experience.

The eldest lady has been deceived for so many years. If she knew the truth, she would be heartbroken.

Master Mingde took the incense and walked towards Yan Ruyu.
