170 Leaving the Palace

Seeing the guard hesitate, Hua Shang waved the fan in his hand gently as he asked, “Do you still need to check our identities?”

The guard immediately lowered his head. “I wouldn’t dare! But your sister…”

Hua Shang suddenly retracted the fan in his hand and pointed at the guard. “Do you think my sister can’t enter the palace with her status?”

“The Hua family can’t even enter the imperial palace?” Hua Shang’s accusing tone immediately made the guard lower his head.

The guard hesitated for a long time before saying, “Young Master Hua, Miss Hua, please come in!”

Hua Shang snorted and said to the coachman, “Let’s go!”

The wheel turned again as it headed into the palace.

The carriage stopped outside the inner palace wall.

Further in, they could only walk. Hua Shang’s carriage could no longer help Kong Rui.

Kong Rui jumped down from the carriage. Just as she stabilized herself, Hua Shang grabbed her wrist.

This was the first time Kong Rui had seen Hua Shang so agitated and nervous. She looked down at the hand that was grabbing her wrist and snorted. “I won’t run away. Can you let go of me?”

Hua Shang still seemed worried and didn’t let go of Kong Rui’s hand. “Where’s Hua Xing?”

Kong Rui sighed softly and took out the thing that Hua Xing had given her from her storage space.

“This was given to me by Hua Xing before she died. Take a look for yourself!” Kong Rui said as she placed it in Hua Shang’s hand.

As Hua Shang looked at the thing in Kong Rui’s hand, he couldn’t help but take two steps back.

He didn’t want to believe what he was seeing, let alone think about the meaning of what he had just heard.

Kong Rui looked at Hua Shang as she said gently, “She’s already gone. I’ve stored a trace of her divine sense in these things.”

“Take a look after you leave the palace!” Kong Rui instructed Hua Shang.

She didn’t want Hua Shang to go and settle scores with the Li family after seeing the content of these things in the palace. That would really be asking for trouble!

Moreover, the secret contained in Hua Xing’s last trace of divine sense might harm Hua Shang and the Hua family!

When Hua Shang heard Kong Rui’s words, he couldn’t calm down anymore.

He looked at the thing in his hand. This was the last thing he had given Hua Xing before she left home!

However, how could he believe that the person in front of him was only sending a message for Hua Xing and not the person who had harmed her?

Hua Shang suddenly looked up at Kong Rui. “Tell me! Who harmed my sister? How did you find her? Why didn’t you save her?”

Upon hearing Hua Shang’s question, Kong Rui only shook her head. “Hua Xing asked me to tell you something…”

“What is it?” Hua Shang asked anxiously.

“She said that she was captured by bad people and didn’t run away from home on her own! Also, she didn’t ruin your bamboo hat on purpose!” Kong Rui said what Hua Xing had instructed her to relay to her family.

When Hua Shang heard this, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

When Kong Rui saw Hua Shang’s reaction, she couldn’t help but sigh. “I advise you to leave the palace as soon as possible! You’ll understand everything else after listening to your sister’s last message! I’ve already said what I needed to say. Thank you for helping me today. Let’s meet again in the future!”

With that, Kong Rui turned around and ran towards a palace in the inner palace before Hua Shang could even react.

As Hua Shang watched Kong Rui leave, he held the thing in his hand in front of his chest tightly. “Sister! Let’s go home!”

Hua Shang turned around and got into the carriage again. Then, the carriage quickly rushed out of the palace gate. Hua Shang was no longer as relaxed as before.

The guard watched as the Hua family’s carriage left quickly. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure it out.
