Seeing Eleven nod, Xiao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and pulled him in.

[My stinky little brother will affect the existence of the Gu worm. I can't see him during this period. 】

Eleven hesitated to speak, but finally opened his mouth.

"If this goes on for too long, it will definitely arouse the little prince's suspicion."

[It’s better to hide it for a while…]

Xiao Ruyu looked at the entrance of the palace with a gloomy look.

At dinner time, Xiao Rujin didn't see Xiao Ruyu again, and became confused.

After dinner, he came and knocked on Xiao Ruyu's door again.

[Sister, sister, are you there? ]

It was Eleven who opened the door. He stopped Xiao Rujin from entering and spoke awkwardly, "Little Prince, the little princess said she was a little tired today and went to bed early."

Xiao Rujin was confused and shouted inside.

"Sister, why don't you want to see me?"

When Xiao Ruyu heard him trying to rush in outside the hall, he yawned and pretended to be tired.

"Brother, go back. I'm really tired."

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

Xiao Rujin walked away with his head down, obviously beginning to feel unhappy and losing interest.

"Have you left?"

Xiao Ruyu asked Eleven in a low voice, and only when she saw him nod did she lie down on the bed with peace of mind.

The poisonous insects had gradually taken effect over the past few days. Although she tried her best to suppress the attacks of the insects, Eleven still noticed that something was wrong with her.

Looking at her pale little face, Eleven walked forward and held her little hand, looking nervous.

"Is the poison in your body acting up? Does the little princess feel unwell?"

Xiao Ruyu waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, but he couldn't help coughing.

“Cough cough cough…”

The attack of the poisonous insect had caused her body to become somewhat weak, and she began to experience the same symptoms as the poisoned officials.

"No, Eleven must help the little princess force the poison out."

"Don't take any more risks!"

Seeing that she had started coughing, Eleven became a little anxious and used his spiritual power to force the poisonous insect out of her body.

Just as he was trying to gather spiritual power in his palm, he was stopped by Xiao Ruyu.

She shook her head slightly, her face serious.

[If we stop now, all the suffering we have endured these days will be in vain.]

This one sentence extinguished Eleven's concentrated spiritual power. He looked at her with pity, his heart broken.

"If this continues...when will it end?"

【Wait a few days. 】

…

Two days later, Xiao Ruyu began to try to mobilize the poisonous insects in his body to sense the location of the mother poisonous insect.

She closed her eyes and tried hard to search for the location of the person who had put the poison on her.

After a moment, Xiao Ruyu opened his eyes, and a hint of lightness flashed in his eyes.

[Eleven, I can already vaguely sense the presence of the Mother Gu, but the exact location...]

[We will probably know in the next few days. ]

Hearing her say this, Eleven felt relieved, but still worried.

He stood up and prepared to go to the inner kitchen to make a bowl of lotus seed soup for her.

Xiao Ruyu's body has become increasingly weak in the past few days, but because of the suppression of spiritual power, it is no problem like usual.

As Eleven stepped out of the door, Xiao Rujin, who was hiding in the bushes, jumped out and walked forward to push the door open.

The hand he stretched out froze in place again, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose to knock on the door twice.

"Sister, I'm here to play with you."

Xiao Ruyu was so frightened when she suddenly heard Xiao Rujin's voice that she almost fell off the bed.

She suppressed her panic and shouted at the door.

"Sister doesn't have time to accompany you now, please come next time."

Xiao Rujin, who was turned away again, felt depressed. Even so, he did not push the door open directly. His eyes darkened and he muttered softly.

"Well, I'll come back when my sister is free."

His shoulders drooped, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he bumped into Eleven who had hurried back.

Eleven saw him standing at the door and almost threw away the lotus seed soup in his hand. He blocked the door and said, "Little Prince... why are you here again?"

Xiao Rujin raised her red eyes, pulled him aside, and looked gloomy.

"Eleven, I have something I want to ask you."

He raised his eyes, his eyes red, "Sister, do you hate me?"

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Eleven couldn't bear it and swallowed the words back.

He kept Xiao Ruyu's instructions in mind and had to keep it a secret from him for the time being.

"That's not the case. The little princess just..."

"I've been too busy these past few days."

This statement obviously couldn't shut Xiao Rujin up. Seeing that Xiao Ruyu really didn't want to see him, the light in his eyes faded and he left with heavy legs dragging.

Eleven felt very unhappy. He put down the bowl and fed Xiao Ruyu mouthful by mouthful.

When he mentioned Xiao Rujin just now, he couldn't help but speak.

"The little prince seems really sad."

Xiao Ruyu paused and sighed helplessly.

[This matter has already been figured out. I just explored the location of the mother Gu again and have found its exact location.]

She called Eleven to bring the map over, recalling the place that had just appeared in her mind.

When they found this place on the map, both of them looked a little ugly.

Criminal court?

Hasn't it been searched before?

Xiao Ruyu met Eleven's equally puzzled gaze, frowned slightly, and asked about what happened that day.

[That day, when Eleven searched this place, was there anything unusual? ]

Eleven thought about it carefully and fell into deep thought.

"If you're talking about something different... it seems..."

"Study? Yes! It's Lord Xing's study."

That day, when he searched the study, he felt that the corridor outside seemed larger than that inside the house.

I was in too much of a hurry at the time and didn't pay much attention to it, but now when I think back on it, there was indeed something wrong.

After he said this, Xiao Ruyu reacted immediately.

[It’s a secret room! ]

She pointed to the location on the map and gritted her teeth.

[I said that Mr. Xing was not a good person at first glance, and he even rushed to give me a cat.]

[It seems like this is a case of trying to cover up one's own faults! ]

"This person must be suspicious now, but how should we search again?" Eleven frowned and thought carefully, "After what happened last time, they must have been alert."

[Indeed, we must not alert the enemy again.]

Xiao Ruyu lowered his head and thought for a while, and came up with a way to have the best of both worlds.

…

"A night raid on the Xing Mansion? Is the little princess really sure?"

In Marquis Duan's mansion, Duan Yiheng's brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character after hearing this plan.

[I am absolutely certain that Lu Zongyuan is hiding in this criminal palace.]

Xiao Ruyu spoke confidently and seriously.

"Since the little princess said so, I will go get the military token and mobilize the troops now."

Duan Yiling believed her and stood up to mobilize the soldiers.

[No.]

【We can't alert the enemy. 】

Xiao Ruyu stopped him and thought carefully.

【Just a few of us can go! 】

Duan Yiling pointed at himself and Duan Yiheng, then pointed at her and Eleven, somewhat incredulous.

"Just a few of us? Go and capture them?"
