Chapter 178 - 178 Leaving the Palace178 Leaving the Palace
Kong Rui watched helplessly as Wen Qiong gradually stopped breathing, and Shen Heng never woke up again because of the poison.
One of them was lying in a pool of blood on the bed, while the other was lying by the bed with a bloody knife in his hand.
After everything was over, Kong Rui put away the boundary bead and put the little lion and the little phoenix into her storage space. Just as she was about to leave, there was a commotion outside the palace.
“Why did the queen suddenly summon Steward Shen?!” A voice said anxiously and irritably.
“For her to summon Steward Shen at this time, there must be something important!” Another voice echoed. “The queen hasn’t seen anyone in our hall in a long time!”
The two voices sounded closer as they approached.

It wasn’t that she was worried that she couldn’t defeat these two palace servants, but she was waiting for someone to send a message to the queen!
As expected, the two palace servants entered the palace and called out a few times, but Shen Heng didn’t appear.
“Why isn’t Steward Shen out yet? I don’t want to go to that disgusting hall!” The previous voice said irritably.
“Every time I go in, I have to resist the urge to vomit!” Another voice also revealed a disgusted tone. “I wonder what’s the use of keeping the princess alive!”
“Alright! Stop talking! Go in and take a look. Don’t make Steward Shen unhappy!”
The two of them walked into the inner hall.
However, just as the two of them reached the inner hall door, they saw the two people in a pool of blood on the bed.
One of them immediately screamed, while the other covered her mouth and nose as he vomited.
“Quick! Report this to the queen!” The palace servant, who was vomiting non-stop, pushed her companion and asked her to report.
The screaming person immediately ran out. She was afraid that if she was any slower, she would become like the person on the bed.
After that person left, Kong Rui saw that the palace maid in front of her was still retching.
She originally wanted to wait for the queen to come and see her daughter’s death with her own eyes.
However, Chao Bai’s voice came from her divine sense. He said that the Lei family and the Fu family had entered the palace and asked her to leave as soon as possible.
Kong Rui knew that once she encountered the Lei family and the Fu family, she wouldn’t be able to escape.
Although she was unwilling, she immediately left the palace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHolding the Yin-Yang Umbrella, Kong Rui quickly arrived at the most remote palace in the palace along the planned route. Kong Rui had heard Hua Shang mention this place previously. It was said to be a place specially used to imprison some palace servants and give punishment.
Kong Rui quickly found the secret door Hua Shang had mentioned.
The secret door was sealed with the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Formation, but this wasn’t a problem for Kong Rui.
Kong Rui easily opened the secret door and walked out of the palace wall. Then, she saw two teams patrolling outside the palace wall.
Kong Rui stood rooted to the ground. The Yin-Yang Umbrella in her hand could prevent her from being discovered for the time being.
She looked around. Other than the two teams, there was nothing to cover the passageway between the inner and outer palaces.
While Kong Rui was hesitating, she saw the Hua family’s carriage from afar.
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and moved in the direction of the Hua family’s carriage. When she reached the carriage, Hua Shang’s voice sounded from the carriage. “Is it you, benefactor?”
Kong Rui wasn’t sure if Hua Shang was talking to her, but only by entering Hua Shang’s carriage could she leave the palace safely.
Kong Rui lifted the curtain without hesitation and entered before putting away the Yin-Yang Umbrella.
Because of the Yin-Yang Umbrella, Hua Shang didn’t see who it was at first.
It wasn’t until Kong Rui put away the Yin-Yang Umbrella that Hua Shang immediately knelt on one knee in front of Kong Rui. “Benefactor, please accept my bow!”
