169 Finding Hua Shang’s Help
Just as Kong Rui was thinking, Chao Bai suddenly said, “That seems to be Hua Xing’s older brother?”
Speaking of this, Kong Rui suddenly remembered that she had once been entrusted by Hua Xing to tell her brother, Hua Shang, where she was.
If the person in the carriage was really Hua Shang, she might really be able to help!
Kong Rui thought for a moment and said to Chao Bai, “Wait for me here!”
When the carriage was a few meters away from the palace, Kong Rui suddenly jumped into the carriage.
The coachman and maidservant didn’t notice Kong Rui’s actions at all. Instead, Hua Shang, who was in the carriage, immediately sensed something amiss. However, with Kong Rui’s current strength, Hua Shang wasn’t her match at all.
Hua Shang sensed that the other party wasn’t hostile, so he immediately relaxed and leaned against the side of the carriage. He waved his fan gently as he stared at the person.
“Miss, why did you jump in my carriage?” Hua Shang said gently. His voice sounded humble, and one couldn’t sense the domineering aura of someone who was about to become the head of the Hua family, one of the five great clans.
Since the person was silent and the two of them were separated, Hua Shang couldn’t help but chuckle. “Miss, are you frightened to see me? Or did you find the wrong person?”
Kong Rui asked softly, “Do you know Hua Xing?”
When he heard this name, Hua Shang’s relaxed appearance instantly disappeared. He sat up straight and shouted at the coachman outside, “Stop the carriage!”
The coachman reacted quickly and immediately shouted for the horse to stop.
Kong Rui swayed in her seat before looking at Hua Shang again.
Hua Shang asked in a cold voice, “You’ve seen Hua Xing? Did you kidnap her? What’s your motive?”
Faced with Hua Shang’s series of questions, Kong Rui only shook her head and said softly, “I know your sister’s whereabouts, but I need you to help me.”
Hua Shang seemed to hesitate. After a while, he spoke again. “What did you do to my sister? What do I have to do for you to let her go?”
Hearing Hua Shang’s anxious tone, Kong Rui knew that Hua Shang must have doted on his sister very much. However, Hua Shang would never expect what Hua Shang had encountered!
Kong Rui lowered her head slightly to prevent her sigh from being too obvious.
She didn’t dare to bet that if she told Hua Shang the truth now, he would help her enter the palace to assassinate Wen Qiong.
Right now, she could only use Hua Shang’s weakness to help her fulfill her wish first!
Kong Rui said again, “I can’t tell you her whereabouts now. After you help me finish this, I’ll definitely tell you where she is!”
Hua Shang seemed to hesitate, but in the end, he said, “Alright! I promise you! But you have to tell me where she is!”
Although Kong Rui had already guessed that Hua Shang would agree, she didn’t expect him to agree so readily. He actually agreed without asking her what she wanted to do!
It seemed that he was really worried about Hua Xing!
Kong Rui sighed softly before continuing, “Bring me to the palace. When we enter the palace, I’ll definitely tell you her whereabouts!”
Hua Shang folded his fan and immediately said, “Alright!”
“Enter the palace!” Hua Shang ordered without hesitation.
The carriage moved forward slowly again. This time, neither of them made a sound.
After the carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace, the guards routinely checked the people in the carriage.
After the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, the guard saw that there were actually two people sitting inside. The guard was stunned for a moment before saying, “Young Master Hua, who is this?”
Hua Shang fanned himself as he said softly, “My sister!”
“This…” The guard was in a difficult position.
The palace was heavily guarded, so although he couldn’t stop the young master of the Hua family from entering the palace, he had never seen his sister before. Not knowing if he should check this person’s identity, the guard hesitated for a moment.
