Soon, Rumo brought the little puppet with Fu Yijing's name on it to Shangguan Xu.
Shangguan Xu took a sharp dagger, cut open the little puppet in his hand, and then stuffed the birth date written in red ink into it.
Rumo brought a basin of dark red blood, and Shangguan Xu tossed the wooden puppet headfirst into it. The blood quickly soaked the puppet's surface. Shangguan Cejun thrust a finger-thick iron needle into the puppet's head. The blood seeped through the needle's hole into the cracks in the wood, quickly creating a series of bubbles.
Shangguan Xu took out the little puppet with a red surface and inserted seven or eight steel needles into it. The pent-up anger in his chest finally subsided as more and more steel needles were stuck into the puppet.
Ruyan's legs trembled with fear at this series of evil spells. Rumo, however, smiled brightly, "I saw this method in an ancient book. Master, just wait and see. The one in Fuyao Palace will soon be in big trouble."
After hearing Rumo's words, Shangguan Xu was obviously happier, and even his suppressed appetite improved. "I haven't had lunch yet, and Her Royal Highness the Princess called me to Fuyao Palace to be scolded. Now I'm starving. Ruyan, you go to the food bureau now and at least bring me nine dishes and three soups."
Seeing Ruyan's legs weak and standing there motionless for a long time, Rumo pushed him hard and said, "Ruyan, the prince asked you to serve the meal. Are you deaf?"
Ruyan finally woke up from her dream and quickly replied "yes", but her feet seemed to be stuck with glue and she couldn't move a step. The evil magic that Shangguan Xu had just performed was too bloody and horrific.
Rumo grabbed Ruyan's wrist and dragged her towards the door. After making sure that both of them were completely out of Shangguan Xu's sight, Rumo said angrily, "Look at how pathetic you were just now. You looked like you were about to faint. To tell you the truth, that wasn't some ancient sorcery I read about in ancient books. I just made it up to fool the emperor."
Ruyan looked at Rumo blankly.
Rumo rolled his eyes, becoming even more annoyed. "I made up this excuse to help our master vent his anger. He can do whatever he wants in Changqiu Palace, but if we can't stop him and he goes to Fuyao Palace, causing trouble for Her Highness, that would be a disaster. By then, watching Her Highness's rage, it won't be too late for you to even feel weak and unable to walk."
Ruyan finally came to his senses at this time, "Rumo, fortunately you are smart enough, otherwise, if our master breaks into Fuyao Palace, it will really be the end of the world." After Ruyan said this, he asked Rumo to go back to the inner room to serve Shangguan Xu, and he hurried to the food bureau to serve food.
