Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the afternoon of the third day after Kong Rui locked herself in her room to cultivate, just as Ling Nuo was thinking about whether she should send a message to Young Master, Kong Rui’s door suddenly opened.
When Ling Nuo saw Kong Rui standing at the door, she cried and almost pounced on her.
Kong Rui looked at Ling Nuo’s tearful face in disdain. “What’s with that expression? Don’t you want to see me?”
Ling Nuo immediately shook her head vigorously. “Of course not! 1 was worried that something would happen to you! You haven’t eaten for three days!”
Kong Rui pursed her lips. She couldn’t explain to Ling Nuo that she didn’t need much food to cultivate.
After she thought about it, she decided to change the topic first to prevent Ling Nuo from crying.
“Is there any news about the people who captured Kong Shu and Kong Yao?” Kong Rui walked out of the room and stood under the sun to stretch, which dispelled her tiredness from the past few days.
…..
Ling Nuo replied respectfully, “There’s no news yet. I sent someone left behind by the First Elder to investigate, but there’s still no news.”
Kong Rui nodded and continued to ask, “Is there news from the Nie family?”
Ling Nuo replied again, “Nie Yin hasn’t left the Nie family’s residence since he was carried back from Spirit Mountain that day.”
“That young lady from the Li family went to visit the Nie family’s residence. She stayed for half a day before the Nie family’s First Elder personally sent her back to the royal family.”
“The queen has issued a decree. The appointment of the princess and engagement will have to wait until Young Master Nie Yin recovers.”
Surprised by this news, Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly.
It was obvious that the queen’s motive for acknowledging Li Han wasn’t simple. Although she was anxious to form an alliance with Nie Yin, she was definitely not someone who would care about Nie Yin’s health.
But what made her willing to wait for Nie Yin to recover?
Kong Rui suddenly remembered the forbidden technique Hua Shang had mentioned.
“I’m going out for a while. We ll talk when 1 come back!” With that, Kong Rui jumped out before Ling Nuo could react.
Ling Nuo stood rooted to the ground in a daze. After a while, she said, “Miss! The brothel keeper has been waiting for you for three days. Her eyes are already swollen from crying. At least listen to her plea first!”
As Ling Nuo spoke, she sighed helplessly and shook her head as she said to the brothel keeper, “I tried my best! Miss ran away before I could say anything!”
After Ling Nuo finished speaking to herself, she heaved a sigh.
When Kong Rui arrived at the entrance of the Hua family’s house, she bumped into a disciple of Ding Clinic.
Kong Rui had seen this disciple before. He was the disciple called Xiao Jiao, who served them tea.
Xiao Jiao was Ding Mao’s disciple, so he seemed to be quite familiar with that old man.
When Xiao Jiao saw Kong Rui, he was stunned for a moment before greeting her. “Greetings.”
Kong Rui wanted to explain that she and the old man had not officially held the apprenticeship ceremony yet, but she decided not to after she thought about it.
Since she had already cultivated the mental cultivation technique left behind by the old man, they had a master-disciple relationship now.
“Where’s your mentor?” Kong Rui looked at the medical kit Xiao Jiao had.
Xiao Jiao lowered his head with a troubled expression. “My mentor didn’t return after entering the palace that day. I wonder how he’s doing now.”
“However, that day, my mentor instructed me to deliver some spirit medicine to the Hua family’s home every day and check on the young master.”
Kong Rui thought to herself, “Ding Mao is really considerate. He even instructed his disciple to deal with the aftermath in advance.”
It seemed that Ding Mao had already expected that he might not be able to come out after entering the palace!
While Kong Rui and Xiao Jiao were talking, a servant from the Hua family heard the commotion outside and opened the door to check.
Ever since Kong Rui treated Hua Shang, she had instructed the Hua family to minimize guest visits to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble again.
Mr. Hua had always treated Kong Rui’s words as an imperial edict. Now, even the gate was closed..
