Chapter 173 - 173 Interrogating Shen Heng173 Interrogating Shen Heng
When Kong Rui heard this, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the man carefully. She suddenly remembered that this man seemed to be the guard beside Wen Qiong, Shen Heng!
If Yin Ling was the most capable person by the queen’s side, Shen Heng was a knife in Wen Qiong’s hand.
Back then, Wen Qiong had instructed Shen Heng to attack her many times, so Kong Rui was familiar with Shen Heng’s face!
However, the current Shen Heng seemed to be much more sinister than before for some reason.
However, Kong Rui was no longer in the mood to dwell on it!
Wen Qiong couldn’t take it anymore. She had to think of a way to break the contract between the little phoenix and Wen Qiong as soon as possible!

“Little Phoenix, how are you? Can you still hold on?” Kong Rui asked worriedly.
The little lion said, “Master, the little phoenix has been vomiting blood since just now. I don’t know why!”
Kong Rui glanced in Wen Qiong’s direction, gritted her teeth, and said coldly, “Wait for me!”
A pitch-black dagger suddenly appeared in Kong Rui’s hand and stabbed towards Shen Heng’s back.
By the time Shen Heng realized that someone was attacking him, it was already too late.
However, Kong Rui’s dagger didn’t pierce Shen Heng’s body. Instead, she slashed the dagger across his neck.
The sharp blade of the dagger brushed against the skin on Shen Heng’s neck, leaving a bloody mark.
“Who is it?!” Shen Heng asked coldly.
Under the veil, Kong Rui said in a hoarse voice, “Leave the princess to me!”
Shen Heng frowned slightly. “Are you here to save the princess?”
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed. “There’s actually someone here to save the Princess at this time?!”
He glanced sharply at Wen Qiong, who was lying on the bed. “Princess, I didn’t expect someone to come and save you even after the queen gave up on you!”
Shen Heng clearly didn’t believe Kong Rui’s words. His laughter stopped and he asked coldly, “Tell me! What exactly do you want to do? Without Master’s orders, the Princess can’t go anywhere!”
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn’t expect Shen Heng to be so loyal.
She exerted some force with the dagger in her hand and continued to interrogate, “Is your master Nie Yin?”

Kong Rui didn’t answer Shen Heng’s question and only continued to ask, “Do you know why Nie Yin wants to murder Wen Qiong?”
Shen Heng paused and turned around slightly to face Kong Rui.
The sharp blade of the dagger in Kong Rui’s hand immediately cut a deep wound on Shen Heng’s neck.
Blood kept gushing out, but Shen Heng didn’t seem to notice at all. “You want to know Master’s motive? Are you here to save the Princess? I won’t tell you anything! Just kill me!”
Shen Heng knew very well that the person in front of him was far stronger than him.
After all, this person could enter the palace silently and even ambush him. This person was clearly a powerhouse!
Although there were no longer any experts set up by the queen in this palace, there were still layers of restrictions here. Other than those palace servants who served others, those who weren’t at the seventh level of the Spirit Body Realm or above couldn’t enter at all!
Since Shen Heng was unwilling to answer truthfully, Kong Rui bit her lower lip slightly before saying again, “Since your master harmed the princess because she no longer had the phoenix essence, does your master want the phoenix essence?”
When Shen Heng heard Kong Rui’s words, his expression changed, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to answer.
Seeing the change in Shen Heng’s expression, Kong Rui knew that she had guessed correctly.
Perhaps Nie Yin and Shen Heng would know a way to break the contract between the little phoenix and Wen Qiong!
