253 Announcement to the World
Hearing Hua Shang’s words, Kong Rui gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile. “Sometimes, it’s not good to be too smart!”
However, Hua Shang smiled indifferently. “No matter what your background is, I will remember how many times you saved me! If you have any instructions in the future, the Hua family will definitely help!”
Hearing Hua Shang’s solemn words, Kong Rui felt an unprecedented sense of trust.
Kong Rui revealed a sincere smile and said to Hua Shang, “If I need the Hua family one day, I won’t be polite!”
The smile on Hua Shang’s face deepened. “It’s my honor!”
Kong Rui carefully checked the poison in Hua Shang’s body. Although the Gu poison had not been cleared, the damage to his body had been reduced to the lowest level.
After Kong Rui wrote another prescription and handed it to Ding Mao, she instructed him to give Hua Shang the medicine on time according to the dosage and method on the prescription.
After confirming that Hua Shang’s situation was stable, Kong Rui came to Mr. Hua’s side. “I need your help with something now. I wonder…”
“Madam, just tell me. Even if you want me to die…” Mr. Hua was immediately about to swear.
Kong Rui immediately stopped Mr. Hua. “No! There’s no need! It’s not that serious!”
“Mr. Hua, please follow me,” Kong Rui said as she led Mr. Hua out of Hua Shang’s room.
…
Kong Rui left the Hua family in a good mood.
When she first came to the imperial capital, she was alone and surrounded by dangerous people.
After meeting Chao Bai, Kong Rui gained some support, but she couldn’t completely trust him.
After all, Chao Bai’s identity was still a mystery.
Now that she had the Hua family’s help, Kong Rui finally had more confidence.
She finally had someone who could support her outside the Demon Abyss!
Kong Rui looked at the occasional notices along the street as she walked.
Kong Rui, who originally didn’t care about national news, was attracted by a notice.
After she walked forward and read the contents of the notice, her expression darkened.
Some passersby were also looking at the notice, and some were pointing at it.
“The Li family’s daughter, Li Han, became the queen’s goddaughter and even got engaged to the Nie family’s Nie Yin?” The passerby held his chin with one hand and shook his head as he read the content of the notice.
“I heard that something happened to the princess earlier. It seems to be true!”
“But why did she acknowledge a goddaughter so quickly? Moreover, the candidate for the son-in-law hasn’t changed?”
“That’s right! How sad will the princess be?!” An old woman sighed as she said, “Men are really heartless! Back then, I thought the princess and the young master of the Nie family were a match made in heaven. Now, it seems like they’re just so-so!”
“In my opinion, Li Han is quite capable as to make the queen acknowledge her as her goddaughter in such a short period of time and even bestowed a marriage to the Nie family!” Some people admired Li Han’s capabilities.
“She’s not that capable! It’s just the queen’s way of winning the Li family over!” Someone retorted immediately.
“Now, the queen doesn’t have a daughter, and it’s equivalent to having no heir. Ever since the last spirit beast competition, the Li family has been much more distant from the queen. If the queen wants to stabilize her position in the empire, she needs a suitable heir. The other great clans are not legitimate, and which small clan in the empire can compete with the Li family? Choosing Li Han is the queen’s only choice!”
Upon hearing that person’s analysis, someone snorted. “Are you stupid? The queen has been afraid of the Li family for a long time, so how could she give the Li family a chance to turn the tables on her? Besides, have you all forgotten what happened to the Li family a while ago?”
“The Li family is…” That person suddenly lowered his voice. “The Li family is suspected of colluding with the Demon Clan! Don’t tell me you guys have forgotten about this?”
