The servant recognized Kong Rui at a glance and immediately jogged forward. “Madam, you’re here!”

The servant and Xiao Jiao had met a few times before, so he nodded at Xiao Jiao and said, “You must be here to deliver the medicine!”

“What a coincidence! Please come in!”

After the servant led the two of them into the residence, he summoned another servant to bring Xiao Jiao to the kitchen and handed the herbs to the spiritual doctor in the residence to deal with.

The servant bowed to Kong Rui again and said, “Madam, this way please.”

Kong Rui followed the servant into the inner courtyard. When they arrived outside Hua Shang’s courtyard, the servant stopped.

When the servants in the courtyard saw Kong Rui, they immediately went forward to welcome her. “Greetings, Madam!”

Kong Rui nodded at the servant and followed him to Hua Shang’s room.

As the servant walked, he said, “Young Master has become much more energetic these few days, but his cough seems to have worsened in the past few days.”

Kong Rui didn’t respond and only listened to the servant continue, “Second Master instructed the people from the outer courtyard not to approach Young Master’s courtyard, for fear that Young Master would be schemed against again.”

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived outside the door and happened to hear Hua Shang coughing inside.

When Kong Rui heard Mr. Hua’s coughing, she became slightly anxious. “If he keeps coughing like this, his lungs will get injured!”

“How come his cough has become more serious after I got rid of the poison?!”

After coughing for a while, Hua Shang panted for a while before saying, “My body is weak to begin with, and this coughing has been accompanying me for many years. It’s probably because the poison aggravated the coughing.”

“Sigh! Why is the queen asking for you every other day? She’s just trying to torture you to death!” Mr. Hua said angrily.

“That day, when I entered the palace on your behalf, that old woman actually got someone to chase me out without even seeing me!”

“This is ridiculous!”

Upon hearing this, the servant at the door suppressed his laughter and looked like he had a story to tell.

Hua Shang also coughed a few times. Clearly, what happened that day wasn’t as simple as Mr. Hua made it out to be.

This smile made Mr. Hua even angrier.

After he muttered a few words, the servant stopped smiling and said, “Young Master, Second Master, Madam is here!”

The room instantly fell silent. Then, they heard footsteps.

The door opened and Hua Shang, who was still a little pale, stood at the door. He looked at Kong Rui as he said, “Madam, you’re finally here!”

Seeing that Hua Shang could walk, Kong Rui felt much more at ease.

Although she was confident that her method could cure Hua Shang, it was still her first time trying it and Hua Shang wasn’t in good health, so she would feel guilty if anything bad happened to him.

Mr. Hua, who stood beside Hua Shang, smiled at Kong Rui. “Madam! You’re really elusive!”

Kong Rui nodded at the two of them and walked into the room after Hua Shang stepped aside.

This time, Hua Shang was no longer lying on the bed in a sickly manner. As the three of them sat at the round table in the middle hall, they were much more relaxed than before.

However, just as the three of them sat down, Hua Shang covered his mouth and nose before coughing a few times.

“I heard that your coughing is quite serious. Has this been the case for the past few days?” Kong Rui looked at Hua Shang’s slightly flushed face.

“I’m fine.” Hua Shang didn’t want to cause Kong Rui any more trouble, so he answered vaguely.

However, Mr. Hua immediately retorted, “What do you mean by fine?! You’ve been coughing even harder recently! It’s much more serious than before!”

After Kong Rui reached out and placed her hand on Hua Shang’s wrist on the table, she remained silent for a while.

Mr. Hua also held his breath and watched from the side, for fear of affecting Kong Rui’s treatment..
