Chapter 228 - 228 Cursed

228 Cursed
Mr. Hua ignored the Spiritual Doctor and glanced at Hua Shang worriedly before asking Kong Rui, “Benefactor, what’s wrong with Shang’er?”
Mr. Hua was very worried.
The future of the Hua family rested on Hua Shang. Although Hua Shang had been weak since he was young, he was an intelligent child that everyone in the Hua family had nurtured wholeheartedly.
If something really happened to Hua Shang, how would he explain it to the Hua family’s ancestors?!
Kong Rui came to Hua Shang’s side again and checked his breathing.
“He must have been cursed,” Kong Rui said with a solemn expression.
“Curse? How is that possible?” Mr. Hua’s eyes were filled with fear. “How is that possible?!”
Kong Rui didn’t answer Mr. Hua’s question. Instead, she focused on Hua Shang’s condition.
Mr. Hua also went over to look at Hua Shang’s pale face.
As Kong Rui touched Hua Shang’s forehead with one hand, spiritual energy surged in her hand. Soon, a faint pink mark appeared in the center of Hua Shang’s forehead.
“Has Hua Shang seen anyone recently?” Kong Rui retracted her hand and asked Mr. Hua.
Mr. Hua frowned slightly and thought about it carefully before saying, “The day before yesterday, he was summoned into the palace by the queen. Yesterday, the Nie family sent someone to send over Nie Yin’s invitation, but he fell sick before he could accept the invitation!”
As Mr. Hua spoke, he sighed heavily, his face filled with worry and helplessness.
Kong Rui also expected that Hua Shang’s accident had something to do with these two families. However, who did it? What was their motive?
Kong Rui couldn’t determine it at the moment.
After she hesitated for a moment, she asked, “Did Hua Shang say anything after his return from the palace?”
Mr. Hua thought for a moment. “It’s just that the princess passed away from serious injuries and the queen is preparing for a state funeral, so she hopes that the few families can help. In addition, because the Hua family is good at soul techniques, the queen asked Shang’er if she can summon the princess’s soul to fulfill her wish and help her enter the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible.”
Kong Rui’s mind raced.
The queen clearly had not summoned Hua Shang into the palace just to ask him about that. Did she want Hua Shang to use a soul technique to summon the princess’s ghost?
No! She probably had other plans!
Since the queen had a way to exchange the natural phoenix essence from her back then, it was very likely that she had another way to let Wen Qiong’s soul enter someone else’s body.
Although this was only Kong Rui’s guess, she felt that the possibility was very high.
However, Kong Rui didn’t intend to tell Mr. Hua her guess so quickly.
After all, with Mr. Hua’s impatient personality, he might rush into the palace to argue with the queen before the matter was clear and get himself killed.
Kong Rui lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “Where’s the invitation from the Nie family? Can I take a look?”
Mr. Hua immediately ordered the little maid to bring the invitation over for Kong Rui to check.
Unexpectedly, the little maid searched the room but couldn’t find any traces of an invitation.
Kong Rui’s expression darkened, and Mr. Hua’s expression also changed.
“Could it be the Nie family’s doing?” Mr. Hua guessed, but he was also a little puzzled. “Why would they do this? The Hua family and the Nie family are both one of the five great clans, and we have never had any grudges. Why would Nie Yin try to murder Shang’er?”
The more Mr. Hua spoke, the more confused he became and his expression became a little distorted.
Kong Rui didn’t dare to come to any conclusions now, but the queen and Nie Yin were both suspects.
After Kong Rui checked Hua Shang’s condition, she stood up to walk out of the room.
Mr. Hua instructed the maid to stay and take care of Hua Shang before following Kong Rui out.
After the two of them walked out of Hua Shang’s room, they saw that the Spiritual Doctor didn’t leave yet. Instead, he stopped Mr. Hua’s servant and asked for the prescription.
The servant naturally wouldn’t give it to him, so the two of them started arguing in the courtyard.
Because the two of them were outside Hua Shang’s courtyard, they didn’t notice the argument.
As soon as they came out, they heard the Spiritual Doctor scold the servant righteously, “I’ve been a doctor for decades, but I’ve never seen such a prescription before. Bring it to me and let me take a look. Don’t let that ignorant little girl endanger your young master’s life!”
The servant didn’t agree to the Spiritual Doctor’s request and said, “If not for the fact that you’re older, I wouldn’t be so polite to you!”
