Xiao Ruyu's mind flashed and he went straight into the space.

The poisonous insect rampaged in her body, trying to invade her heart, but she suppressed it with her spiritual power.

The Heart Spirit Grass should be in the area behind the mountain.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Ruyu immediately ran to the back mountain and started digging on the ground.

Found it!

Looking at the emerald green leaves not far away, there was a faint purple light lingering around them, which matched the appearance of the soul grass in my memory.

Xiao Ruyu pulled it off and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

As soon as the Heart Spirit Grass enters the mouth, the spiritual power is immediately released in the body, and a warm current-like feeling spreads from head to toe.

Suddenly, Xiao Ruyu's throat moved and he spat out a poisonous insect.

Looking at the disgusting-looking poisonous insect, she felt sick to her stomach and crushed it directly.

"This Heart-Eating Gu is nothing more than this."

Xiao Ruyu muttered to herself, but her stomach started growling again.

She had just taken two bites of the fruit when her teeth were knocked out. No matter what, she would not touch the food that Lu Zongyuan sent her.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something and immediately headed towards the front of Medicine King Valley.

As we got closer, we could smell the aroma of rice.

When Xiao Ruyu lifted the plate containing the food, he couldn't help swallowing.

Fortunately, I put so much food into the space that day, and now it comes in handy!

She gobbled the entire plate of food, wiped the oil from the corners of her mouth, and calculated how long the food would last.

Although it may not last for ten days or half a month, it will be no problem for at least seven days.

After burping, Xiao Ruyu immediately returned to the dungeon.

There were people guarding outside during the day, so she didn't dare stay in the space for too long.

By night, you can have nothing to worry about and just move right into the space and live there.

Three days passed like this.

Early in the morning, the dungeon door was pushed open again.

Xiao Ruyu sensed that someone had entered the dungeon, and immediately slipped out of the space, shrank into a corner, and created a weak appearance.

With the rustling sound of the iron lock opening, another meal was delivered.

"Why are there these rotten fruits again?"

Xiao Ruyu glanced at the food on the ground and cursed in pretended dissatisfaction.

"Do you eat pig food? You can even cook such crude meals."

In the past few days, Lu Zongyuan deliberately tortured her and instructed his subordinates to send some leftovers to her in the dungeon.

Those fruits were also extremely hard, as if they had been knocked down and brought here half-ripe by someone.

"Heh...it's good to have something to eat."

"Be picky."

The delivery man kicked the iron railing, snorted coldly, then turned and left.

After he left, Xiao Ruyu put the food into the space and threw it away to prevent Lu Zongyuan from finding out that she had not eaten the food at all.

Then he stretched, yawned, and lazily returned to the space.

The sunshine in Yaowang Valley made people feel very comfortable. Xiao Ruyu lay on the grass and stuffed the freshly picked wild fruits into his mouth.

I had just eaten a plate of food and my stomach was already full.

Lu Zongyuan probably wouldn't even dream of it. He sent people to deliver these meals every day to torture Xiao Ruyu, but he never thought that she was eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks every day.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This idiot.

I thought I could torture her like this, so I went to bed.

Another day passed, and Xiao Ruyu became more and more bored, counting the days until the soldiers arrived.

She slipped out of the space and was surprised to find that even the number of people guarding the door during the day had decreased.

There were three at the beginning, two a few days ago, and only one today.

It's no wonder. After all, she was infected with the heart-eating poison, and no one believed that a little kid could cause any waves.

A smile appeared on Xiao Ruyu's lips.

But, she can.

Night fell, and the dungeon became increasingly gloomy in the cloudy night.

In the pitch-dark night, Xiao Ruyu quietly listened to the movements at the door.

"It's time for a shift change."

Sure enough, at the right time, the people guarding the door began to take over as the next shift.

The successor complained unhappily, "It's better in the daytime. The wind at night is so chilly that it makes me feel numb."

The sound of their conversation reached Xiao Ruyu's ears, and she already had an idea in her mind.

Another person continued his words, "Come on, let's just leave one person to watch it now. It's good that we don't have to watch it together."

He looked into the dark dungeon intentionally or unintentionally and made two "tsk tsk" sounds.

"Just keep it well."

As the footsteps gradually faded away, Xiao Ruyu heard the gatekeeper leaning against the dungeon door, and his clothes rubbed against the iron bars, making a noise.

Looking up through the narrow hole, she saw a red moon hanging in the sky, and she began to get restless.

The dark and windy night is the day for action.

Imperial Physician Yang hadn't come to see her for several days. Xiao Ruyu was extremely anxious. She didn't know how many days it would take for the imperial officials and soldiers to arrive, and she became more and more restless.

Tonight, she must go out and get some information.

I looked at the position of the red moon and calculated the time. It’s not time yet!

Xiao Ruyu leaned against the iron railings of the dungeon and took a short nap.

Accompanied by a wolf howl that seemed far and near, she slowly opened her eyes.

The gatekeeper at the door was snoring loudly. Xiao Ruyu used his spiritual power to hand out a piece of medicine powder.

As the powder coated the gatekeeper's cheeks, his snoring stopped abruptly and he fell to the ground.

"Come here, little mouse."

Xiao Ruyu lowered his head, picked out a little mouse from the dark, and injected spiritual power into it.

The little mouse understood human nature and ran towards the door.

After a while, it came back with a key in its mouth.

Taking out a fruit from his arms and throwing it to the little mouse, Xiao Ruyu immediately took the key and tiptoed to open the dungeon door.

She carefully closed the door again and checked the gatekeeper's breath. It would probably take several hours for him to wake up, so she sneaked into the village without any worries.

This village is located halfway up a mountain, surrounded by undulating hills, like a giant snake coiled between heaven and earth.

If Xiao Ruyu had not been brought here, it would have been impossible to find this place without a map.

This may be the reason why the court has not come for several days.

The mountain covered the entire village, casting a heavy shadow. Xiao Ruyu followed the light towards the center of the village.

Thanks to her short figure, she was able to hide from the patrols under the cover of night. Lu Zongyuan's voice came from the thatched house in the center of the village.

Xiao Ruyu pricked up his ears and listened, and indeed heard important news.

"Get ready tonight. Father will be here early tomorrow morning, so be alert."

What? Prime Minister Lu is coming?

Upon hearing that Prime Minister Lu, who had disappeared for a long time, was finally going to show up, Xiao Ruyu's hands, which were clinging to the window, trembled slightly.

Finally waited for this day!

It's time to notify Master to close the net.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a patrolling servant shouting.

"There's an assassin!"
