Or perhaps she was using this herb to conceal her true form.

In terms of sensitivity to medicinal herbs, how could Xiao Yanchu and Huanzhi compare to Su Ruojin?

Previously, Su Ruojin had smelled a faint medicinal scent as soon as she stepped outside, which prompted Xiao Yanchu to take action.

If you misjudge, the worst that can happen is that you've missed out.

She was just testing the waters, but she didn't expect to actually catch someone.

Su Ruojin speculated that the herbs used by the Transcendental Sect for invisibility had the function of confusing people's brains or eyes, allowing them to be seen but not actually see them.

However, there must be some stringent conditions for its use that she is unaware of, otherwise it would be an invincible existence in the world.

In this way, Xiao Yanchu understood everything: "The person at the villa used this... ninjutsu to steal the antidote."

It's understandable that the guards didn't notice the person because of the existence of ninjutsu.

"It should be."

"That's Matsushima Kaoru..."

“She’s one of the Emperor’s people, using her skills to infiltrate the Shogunate. I just didn’t expect the Emperor would be willing to take such a risk to save us.” This was what Su Ruojin couldn’t understand.

To be frank, they only met the emperor once.

If Matsushima Kaoru is exposed, such a good pawn will be wasted.

Is it worth it?

Is the emperor really as she thinks?

Dawn broke quickly.

The shogunate is in complete chaos.

No one suspected Matsushima Kaoru, after all, Su Ruojin was skilled in medicine and had the ability to drug these servants and get them away from here.

She was with Odai-sho, so it was only natural that she ran away with Odai-sho.

"Go find her!" Tokugi Yasuhito was furious. He hadn't expected that Su Ruojin could escape so easily in the Shogunate, right under his nose.

This is blatant disrespect for his authority; how can he tolerate it?

Unfortunately, the next piece of news drove him even more insane.

The village is deserted.

Deyi Kangren swept all the tea sets off the table and onto the ground.

Shingo Tokugi frowned and advised, "General, let's not panic. They're not Yamato people, so where could they have escaped to? They must have returned to the main ship."

"In that case, I'll send men to the ship to bring them back!" Deyi Kangren said angrily.

"General, don't worry. Don't forget, Su Ruojin has escaped, but her sister is still in our hands."

It was only after Tokugi Shingo's reminder that Tokugi Yasuhito realized what was happening.

He went from anger to joy.

This time, he wanted to see how Su Ruojin would escape!

He was determined to make her kneel before him and beg for mercy, to show her who the most powerful man was, and to make her obediently leave Xiao Yanchu and become his woman.

As soon as it was light, Su Ruojin found a servant at the imperial palace, hoping to see the emperor.

Soon, Tachibana Chiyo arrived and said that the Emperor was unwell and could not see them for the time being.

Su Ruojin looked at Tachibana Chiyo, "Lady, I have heard that the Emperor has been in poor health since childhood. I know a little about medicine. I wonder if I could examine the Emperor and see if I could help him improve his health."

Su Ruojin did not want to owe anyone a favor. If she could handle the Emperor's health problem, she would repay the debt of saving him yesterday.

Even though the emperor didn't intervene, they were able to leave the shogunate safely.

But since the emperor took the risk to act, we should remember this favor.
