Chapter 178: 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.

Kong Rui immediately raised the Yin-Yang Umbrella and hid in a corner of the palace.
