Chapter 171 - 171 The Disappeared Palace Servant

171 The Disappeared Palace Servant

Kong Rui quickly arrived outside Wen Qiong’s palace with the Yin-Yang Umbrella.

The palace servants on duty in the palace looked very unfamiliar. They seemed to have replaced Wen Qiong’s previous group of palace servants.

As Kong Rui looked at the palace servants standing there numbly, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.

As she approached the palace, Kong Rui heard muffled moans coming from inside. They were not loud, as if they were muffled by something, but they sounded very terrifying.

Kong Rui walked into the palace quickly. The aura of the expert that she could clearly sense earlier seemed to have disappeared.

Kong Rui was a little surprised. When she approached the palace door, she saw a few palace servants walking out with basins of blood.

“Sigh, in my opinion, the Princess can’t change her blood every day!” One of the younger palace servants couldn’t help but say.

The older palace maid on the other side nudged her hard. “Don’t talk nonsense! Aren’t you afraid of losing your head?!”

The young palace maid looked around before lowering her voice. “You don’t have to scare me! The queen hasn’t come to our palace for a few days! Only the few of us are left in the palace. They can’t even take care of themselves. How can they have the time to care about what I say?”

“I’m afraid the queen knows that the princess’ injuries can’t be treated, so she can only give up on this daughter!” the young palace maid continued.

Xi’er glared at her. “If you continue to spout nonsense, be careful you’ll lose your tongue! Don’t you know where those palace servants from before have gone? If you continue to spout nonsense, you might be the next to disappear!”

Upon hearing Xi’er’s words, the young palace maid said furiously, “Who in the palace doesn’t know where those missing palace maids went?! However, since we came sent to the palace, we’ve already acknowledged our fate.”

The young palace maid with a basin of blood in her hands looked in the direction of the palace. “I only hope that the princess can die earlier so that we can be free earlier!”

Xi’er shouted again, “Stop talking! Be careful, or you’ll be reported to the queen. You’ll be the next person to be drained of blood!”

The two of them walked past Kong Rui as they spoke.

As Kong Rui looked at the blood basin in their hands, she couldn’t help but feel nauseous.

Although she was used to bloody scenes, the blood in the basin gave off a rotten stench, as if it had been placed there for years.

Kong Rui couldn’t help but feel curious when she heard their words.

Wen Qiong was already in such a state, but the queen still hadn’t given up on her. With the queen’s personality, how could she give up on her precious daughter unless she had no choice?!

Just as Kong Rui was feeling puzzled, she heard movement from the palace again.

“Princess, don’t move! If you do that, you’ll vomit all the blood you just drank! It’s too wasteful!” A sharp voice sounded. It sounded like a man speaking with his throat pinched.

Kong Rui followed the voice and walked into the palace quickly.

Inside the palace, the smell of rotting blood filled the air. It was much stronger than the basin of blood.

How could an ordinary person survive in such an environment?!

Kong Rui couldn’t help but frown. She held the Yin-Yang Umbrella with one hand and covered her mouth and nose with the other.

As she walked into the palace, she heard Wen Qiong’s moans getting closer.

Compared to the last time when Wen Qiong shrieked and cursed at her, this moan sounded like a dying person complaining about something.

How did Wen Qiong become like this in just a few days?

With the queen’s strength, it should not be difficult for Wen Qiong to survive!

The more Kong Rui thought about it, the more baffled she felt. The moment she stepped into Wen Qiong’s room, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked!
