333 Something Might Have Happened to Ao Jie
“Why is it that after taking this medicine until now, I feel more and more numb?” Ao Heng asked with a frown.
Lin Shu’s eyes flashed with mockery, then she said gently, “Congratulations, this means that your body is purifying and leveling up! One pill is no longer enough. You need to take one more pill each time. The day you need to take five at a time is the day you obtain immortality.”
Ao Heng looked at Lin Shu seriously.
Lin Shu sensed Ao Heng’s caution again. All these years, she had been walking on thin ice, for fear that something would happen and she wouldn’t be able to be the empress.
“As expected of a secret family. There are so many experts.” Ao Heng sneered. She probably wouldn’t dare to harm him, so he swallowed the medicinal pill. The others were afraid of secret families, but he wasn’t.
When Lin Shu heard Ao Heng’s mockery, she slowly lowered her head. Her gaze was vicious, but also fearful. That’s right, she was afraid. If she wasn’t afraid of the secret power in Ao Heng’s hands, how could she have endured it for so many years?
“Shu’er, remember your identity. Don’t think that just because you have a secret family behind you, I can’t touch you. Behave yourself!” Ao Heng approached Lin Shu. He was clearly addressing her intimately and affectionately, but at this moment, Lin Shu felt like a poisonous snake was calling her. Ao Heng was even capable of killing his own son, let alone a woman.
After Ao Heng left, Lin Shu plopped down on the ground and grabbed the carpet tightly. It didn’t matter, because the faction behind Ao Heng was about to be finished! Moreover, it wouldn’t be long before she became the most powerful woman in the Ancient Kingdom. No one, including the secret families, would shake her position.
However, recently, Ao Jie had been getting out of control…
…
Qiao Yanhui was about to start personally teaching Xu Qing martial arts when he received news that Lin Shu had summoned Ao Jie into the palace for more than five hours, but there was still no news. This gave Qiao Yanhui a bad feeling, and he immediately went to the palace with Xu Qing.
After all, he didn’t know what Lin Shu would do. If she poisoned Ao Jie, Xu Qing could protect him.
“General Qiao, you can’t go in. This is the empress…” Lin Shu’s subordinate said when she saw Qiao Yanhui barge in, but was mercilessly beaten out before she could finish speaking.
Ever since he found out that Ao Jie was very likely his twin brother, Qiao Yanhui cared about him even more, although he had been quite good to Ao Jie in the past as well.
The person who was sent flying by Qiao Yanhui had a look of disbelief. She was one of the top experts in the Lin family, but she actually couldn’t withstand a single palm strike from Qiao Yanhui. When did Qiao Yanhui’s internal energy improve so much?`
Qiao Yanhui had already kicked the door open. However, when Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing entered, they saw a very heartwarming scene.
Ao Jie was sleeping on the bed peacefully, while Lin Shu sat at the side as she fanned him.
When Lin Shu saw who it was, she was instantly enraged. “Qiao Yanhui, you’re too impudent!”
Qiao Yanhui’s eyes were filled with killing intent. Without another word, he attacked Lin Shu. Although Lin Shu wanted to block the attack, the difference in strength was too great.
After Lin Shu took a few steps back and spat out blood, she looked at Qiao Yanhui in disbelief. How did he become so strong? Could it be that the poison Ao Heng had poisoned him with had been detoxed? But that was impossible. That was the Lin family’s secret medicine. There was no antidote at all. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. When she looked at Xu Qing, she suddenly remembered that Xu Qing was the powerful Bei Shu. Could it be that Xu Qing had done it?
As expected, Xu Qing should have been executed right from the beginning!
Qiao Yanhui didn’t waste time with Lin Shu anymore. Instead, he asked Xu Qing to examine Ao Jie quickly.
After Xu Qing took Ao Jie’s pulse, she realized that he was really only asleep. This puzzled Xu Qing even more. Did Lin Shu really not do anything? However, she gestured to Qiao Yanhui that she needed to observe Ao Jie further.
Only then did Qiao Yanhui carry Ao Jie up.
“Qiao Yanhui, you…” Lin Shu was about to stop Qiao Yanhui when she was interrupted by him.
“The secret family you’re so proud of will be wiped out by me sooner or later!” When Qiao Yanhui said this, he exuded a terrifying aura.
Lin Shu didn’t say anything and only stared at Qiao Yanhui’s back figure. When did he start to care so much about Ao Jie? Could it be that he had discovered something? That was impossible. No one knew about this. After all…
Qiao Yanhui carried Ao Jie and prepared to return to the Qiao family’s house. On the way, Ao Jie was woken up by the turbulence of the journey and was confused. Why was he being carried on Qiao Yanhui’s shoulder? Although he liked Qiao Yanhui very much, they were brothers. Qiao Yanhui couldn’t possibly plan to elope with him, right?
