It was getting late, so Rongruo started her own action. She came to the door of the king's study invisibly and wanted to go in. But the strange thing was that the study seemed to be under a spell and she couldn't get in.

Before she could find out, someone's footsteps came from the courtyard. I saw him hurriedly came to the door, knocked on the door gently and walked in.

"The Lord of the Kingdom, there is new news from Taoist Xianfeng." A guard said.

"Oh, bring it here, let me take a look." After saying this, the guard handed the letter to the king.

"It's none of your business. You can go down first." The king waved his hand, indicating for him to leave.

"Well, yes, you did a very good job. The plan to annex Kyoto is just around the corner." After saying that, the king stood up, took the letter and read it again and again, and burst out laughing.

Rongruo was very interested in the content of the letter. She knew there must be some ulterior secret hidden here, but she couldn't get in now that she was invisible. What should she do? No wonder Ri Tingyu said that there were many masters of evil arts here. It turned out that they also did so many tricks in the palace.

Forget it, I'll keep watch here. After the king leaves, I'll see if I can show up and go in.

At this time, the king in the study seemed to be writing a reply, with a proud look on his face as he wrote, and it seemed like he didn't have a good idea.

Putting down the pen, he read what he had written carefully, smiled with satisfaction, and shouted out the door: "Here comes someone."

I saw the soldier from before running in again and saying, "The Lord."

"Send someone to deliver this letter to Taoist Xianfeng." The king ordered.

"As ordered, I will take care of it now." The guard took the letter and turned around and left the study.

Rongruo thought about it for a moment, thinking that this might not be his next action plan, so he quickly followed the guard and waited for an opportunity to take the letter away.

When they came to a remote part of the garden, the soldier was walking in a hurry. Seeing that the time had come, Rong Ruo suddenly appeared in front of the soldier. Before the soldier could react, Rong Ruo made a move in front of him. The soul technique held the soldier in place motionless.

She secretly took out the letter from his arms and read it. Sure enough, this Xianfeng Taoist had a big plan to implement.

The general meaning of the letter given by the king to Taoist Xianfeng was that after Eunuch Xiao had the power firmly in his hands, he would wait for an opportunity to kill the emperor and find someone to pretend to be him. In this way, the actual control of Kyoto belongs to Yagong.

Seeing this, Rong Ruo thought to himself: "This king is really ambitious and wants to plot to annex the entire Kyoto."

After reading it, she put the letter back to its original place, unlocked the spell for him and became invisible again. The guard continued to run forward in a hurry as if nothing had happened.

After reading the reply, Rongruo has been wondering how Eunuch Xiao and Taoist Xianfeng are currently guiding the emperor to obey? Although this emperor is a bit weak-tempered, no one's words can influence him. What methods did they use? I'm afraid if I want to know this secret, I have to go to the study again to see what the content of the letter written by Taoist Xianfeng to the king is.

Rongruo returned to his original position. At this time, the king was no longer in the study, and the door was locked. Rongruo looked around and saw that no one was around, appeared, opened the lock, and walked in gently.

With the dim light from other rooms, she came to the desk and carefully rummaged through the letter just now. When she just found a red hidden compartment in the lower right corner of the desk, she did not hesitate to use her hands to get it. Pulling it open, at this moment, the hidden handle released a golden light, hitting Rongruo's arm directly.

"Ah, what is this." Rongruo's hand was instantly ejected, and a black mark appeared on the palm of his hand. The mark was very dark at first and then slowly seemed to be diluted.

"No, this handle is bewitched." Rongruo's face was full of panic.

However, in order to get the letter, she endured the pain and opened the secret compartment. Strangely enough, this time the handle of the secret compartment did not emit light, but was opened smoothly. She took out the letter and opened it. After taking a look, it turned out that the content in the letter was really the information Rong Ruo wanted to know.

The letter read: I have used the enchanted scroll to make the emperor obsessed with women. Now he will take the elixir I made for him every seven days. If everything goes well, he will be completely unconscious within half a year. He died of poison without realizing it. He hoped that the king would find a suitable person to pretend to be the emperor as soon as possible.

After reading the letter, Rongruo was a little shocked. It turned out that their plan was so vicious. Thinking of this, he quickly put the letter back to its original place, closed the secret compartment, and walked out.

As soon as he arrived in the woods outside the palace, Rongruo's body felt a little numb and dizzy, as if his limbs were not working properly, and he fell to the ground. When she woke up again, she was already lying in a strange house.

"Are you awake?" A beautiful and lovely girl smiled at her.

"Where am I?" Rongruo stood up and asked, enduring the severe pain in his body.

"At home, my father and I happened to encounter you fainting in the woods when we were collecting herbs a few days ago, so we brought you back." The girl looked at Rongruo and said with a smile.

"By the way, did you offend any enemies? They wanted to use such cruel insect poison to deal with you, but it's strange to say that you miraculously managed to survive." The girl asked in confusion.

"Insect poison?" Rongruo was stunned with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, this kind of insect poison can only be found in caves in deep mountains. This insect is extremely poisonous. When it attacks people, it will emit golden light. Some vicious people will use witchcraft to place them somewhere. Once someone touches them, they will attack, first attaching to the surface of the skin, and then burrowing into the human body to eat the heart. Anyone attacked by them within three days will definitely die." The girl said with a look on her face It tells a thrilling story about the power of poisonous insects.

"What about me?" Rongruo looked at the girl in panic.

"Sister, don't worry. Although the poisonous bugs attacked you, for some reason they did not enter your blood and reach your heart. Instead, they stayed stagnant at your wrists. Maybe your blood has a confinement effect on them. Or maybe they didn’t like your body, so my dad used fire therapy to get rid of them.”

As she spoke, the girl raised Rongruo's right hand and continued: "Sister, look, there are still traces of burns on your arm. There is nothing we can do about it, otherwise the poisonous insect cannot be taken out."

Rongruo looked at his right hand. Yes, the red patch on his arm had a bunch of blisters.

"Thank you, you saved me." Rongruo nodded quickly to express his gratitude.

"By the way, you just said a few days ago, how long have I been sleeping at your house?" Rongruo asked with her mouth wide open and her eyes staring closely at the girl.

"It's been five days, what's wrong? Is your family anxious to wait for you?" the girl asked curiously.

"Oops, it was supposed to be three days, but now it's been seven days. This time, Shen Tingyu..." Rongruo closed her eyes tightly. At this time, she was extremely regretful for her previous impulsive behavior.
