This went on over and over again until the sky turned pale. They had practiced all night, and Ruan Jun'an looked like he had been fished out of the water. He was soaked and exhausted, and his legs were shaking even when he was not standing. He had reached his limit, so Ruan Xiaojiu let him go and let him rest.

Ruan Jun'an didn't have the energy to wash up, let alone eat, so he fell asleep immediately and slept very soundly, looking very tired.

Ruan Xiaojiu looked at Ruan Jun'an sleeping for a while, thinking about what to do next.

She called the housekeeper Luo and asked him to ask someone to clean up Ruan Jun'an, change him into dry clothes, and then left.

A day and a night had passed, and the old general had not returned since entering the palace. Ruan Xiaojiu knew what was going on and roughly guessed the emperor's intention, so she was not in a hurry.

She came to Ruan Siqi's room. Two days had passed. She came to check on Ruan Siqi's physical condition. A blue light flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Ruan Siqi's body clearly. Her blood had been almost absorbed by Ruan Siqi. She was about to stop scanning when she found something wrong.

No, why did the insect grow bigger? Ruan Xiaojiu focused his consciousness on the insect and found that it had awakened and was devouring Ruan Xiaojiu's blood, which was originally repairing Ruan Siqi's body.

This is interesting, as it shows that the owner of the insect is connected to it.

It seems that she cannot kill the poisonous insect yet, so she needs to find out who is behind it.

Since she couldn't use blood to repair Ruan Siqi's body, she had to use her vitality to inject it into Ruan Siqi's body, allowing the vitality to slowly repair her body.

After doing all this, Ruan Xiaojiu left. Seeing that the dilapidated general's mansion was kept relatively tidy by Butler Luo, Ruan Xiaojiu was very satisfied. She did not plan to renovate the house because there was no need to do so. She had her own plans.

She found Butler Luo and asked him to follow her because she had something to ask. Butler Luo followed her respectfully. The two of them came to the pavilion. Ruan Xiaojiu sat down and Butler Luo stood beside her, waiting for Ruan Xiaojiu to speak.

Ruan Xiaojiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Luo, how many years have you been in the Ruan family?"

Butler Luo didn't know why the young lady asked this, so he answered honestly: "Almost thirty years."

Ruan Xiaojiu nodded and tapped the table, then asked, "How much do you know about the Ruan Family Army?"

Butler Luo was surprised in his heart but remained calm on the surface. He wondered why the young lady suddenly asked about the Ruan family army, but he still told her what he knew.

The general meaning is that the Nguyen family army is the people who have been following the old general since the founding of the country. When the late emperor became emperor, he did not incorporate all the people who had been following the old general. Some of them were given official positions, and some were allowed to become the Nguyen family's private soldiers. This was a kind of trust that the late emperor had in the old general, but this matter was only known to the late emperor and the old general and a very few people.

Afterwards, the old general forged a token that was exclusively for the Nguyen family army.

"How many people are there in the Ruan family army?" Ruan Xiaojiu asked again.

Butler Luo continued to answer, "I know it should be around 100,000 people."

Not knowing why Ruan Xiaojiu asked these questions, Butler Luo was confused but didn't ask anything.

Ruan Xiaojiu had a rough idea in his mind, so he asked Butler Luo to go down.

Xiao Cui went to prepare breakfast for Ruan Xiaojiu early in the morning. It was already ready. When she saw Ruan Xiaojiu in the pavilion, she ran over and asked, "Miss, where would you like to eat breakfast? I will bring the food over."

Ruan Xiaojiu was feeling hungry, so he said, "I'll eat here, bring it over!"

Xiao Cui answered "yes" after receiving the order and went to serve the food.

After Ruan Xiaojiu had breakfast, she hadn't slept all night, and she felt sleepy after the meal, so she went to Xiao Cui's room to sleep.

Xiao Cui knew that her young lady had worked hard, as she had spent the entire night practicing with the young master. She immediately ran to the room and made the bedding for the young lady to rest.

Ruan Jun'an was woken up by hunger. It was already afternoon when he woke up. He was exhausted last night and had no time to replenish his energy in the morning. Now he was starving.

He sat up with great effort and shouted, "Someone come..."

Butler Luo always had people guarding outside Ruan Jun'an's door, fearing that Ruan Jun'an would not be able to find anyone if something happened.

When the servant heard Ruan Jun'an calling, he immediately pushed the door open and answered, "Master, you're awake."

"I'm hungry. Bring me something to eat. The sooner the better."

When the servant heard the order, he answered "yes" and immediately went out to prepare.

Ruan Xiaojiu slept until dark. She stretched, opened her eyes, and stayed in bed for a while before getting up. Her stomach was rumbling with hunger again.

Xiao Cui was guarding in the house. She didn't dare to disturb Ruan Xiaojiu's sleep, otherwise Ruan Xiaojiu's temper would be no joke, so she could only wait.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Ruan Xiaojiu woke up.

He stood up in surprise and said, "Miss, you are finally awake."

Ruan Xiaojiu heard the hidden meaning in Xiao Cui's words and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Cui quickly said, "An hour ago, someone from the Zhang Mansion came to report that the old general had angered the emperor in the palace and was now missing. The emperor accused his master of treason for pleading for the old general, and asked the young master to find a way to save them."

Ruan Xiaojiu rubbed her brows and said, "I'm hungry. Go prepare something for me to eat."

Xiao Cui was stunned. Didn't the young lady understand what she said? She said the old general was in trouble, so why was the young lady still so calm and asking for food?

Seeing that she didn't move and was still in a daze, Ruan Xiaojiu said again, "I'm hungry. Go get me something to eat. Didn't you hear me?"

Xiao Cui finally came back to her senses. She didn't dare to refute and could only bow down. This cold and heartless lady was even worse than before.

Ruan Xiaojiu knew that it was not that easy for the old general to enter the palace, but what was the use of rushing since things had already happened? It would be better to understand the situation and make long-term plans.

Ruan Jun'an became uneasy after learning that his grandfather was in trouble. He waited in the room for Ruan Xiaojiu to come and discuss how to rescue his grandfather.

He ordered people to go to the palace to investigate again and find out what was going on!

It was almost dark when they waited. When Ruan Xiaojiu arrived, he saw Ruan Junan sitting at the table with a grim expression on his face.

When he saw Ruan Xiaojiu come in, his face was still very ugly. He was very dissatisfied with Ruan Xiaojiu's attitude towards this matter. Grandpa had loved her the most since she was a child, but now that grandpa was in trouble, she still looked nonchalant.

Despite his dissatisfaction, he still said, "Grandpa is in trouble!"

"I see," she said as she sat opposite Ruan Jun'an. She had just finished her meal and was a little thirsty, so she poured herself a glass of water and took a sip.

Ruan Jun'an was angry when he saw her attitude, but he could only sulk.

"You should continue practicing walking." Ruan Xiaojiu did not answer Ruan Junan's question but said something irrelevant.

Ruan Junan was furious: "Ruan Xiaojiu, do you have any heart? Grandpa is in trouble, how can you be so calm and ruthless? It's a waste of Grandpa's kindness to you."

"I must rescue Grandpa, no matter what the cost. If you still care about Grandpa, come with me, or I will bring the Ruan family army and go alone to rescue Grandpa."
