Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I’m not in a hurry. Think about it carefully. Someone, serve me tea!” Ao Heng said unhurriedly. To him, there was nothing to say about this matter anymore. He was certain that she would definitely do as he pleased. How could anyone not love power? Weren’t the women around him all fighting to the death for power?
However, Xu Qing said firmly, “There’s no need to consider it. I will never betray Qiao Yanhui in my life!”
Xu Qing’s words stunned Ao Heng slightly. However, he was not shocked by Xu Qing’s determination. After all, he didn’t take Xu Qing seriously at all. What stunned him was that there was once a woman who said such words just as firmly and even looked at him with the same determined gaze!
In the end? That woman betrayed him and made him the laughing stock of the world! Thinking of this, Ao Heng’s expression instantly darkened, and his voice hardened. “Since you want to die, fine! Someone, give me tea!”
Xu Qing was shocked. What did Ao Heng mean by this? Was he trying to poison her openly? Wasn’t he afraid that Qiao Yanhui would get angry and challenge his imperial authority?
Xu Qing wanted to leave, but a group of men in black rushed up from all over the room and stopped her. Xu Qing’s expression turned cold. Qiao Yi and Qiao Er had probably been blocked outside. If Ao Heng really wanted to do something, she didn’t mind fighting to the death with him. She definitely wouldn’t let Ao Heng have the chance to threaten Qiao Yanhui!
However, to everyone’s surprise, those men in black didn’t do anything, and neither did Ao Heng. Then, a maid served a cup of tea.
Xu Qing looked at the cup of tea in front of her with an unreadable expression. She could sense that there was nothing wrong with this cup of tea! This made her a little confused and she looked at Ao Heng suspiciously. Ao Heng’s expression didn’t change from the beginning to the end. His expression was gloomy the entire time.
“As long as you drink this cup of tea, you can leave!” Ao Heng’s tone was cold!
Xu Qing knew that she had no choice but to drink it. Otherwise, Ao Heng wouldn’t let her go! However, this cup of tea was not poisonous… What exactly was wrong with it?!
Wait a minute! Incense, tea…
Xu Qing’s eyes lit up. When the fragrance was combined with a certain substance in this cup of tea, it could produce another type of poison! However, even so, it wouldn’t cause any harm because she could feel that the poison could only make people have the urge to go to the bathroom frequently!
Xu Qing still drank the cup of tea under Ao Heng’s gaze because she knew that if she didn’t drink it today, the men in black behind her would definitely make her drink it!
Seeing this, Ao Heng smirked. Just as he was about to let her leave, he was suddenly interrupted by a loud bang.
The door was actually broken by someone. Ao Heng’s personal butler was also lying on the ground with a footprint on his chest. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and fainted before he could say anything!
Qiao Yanhui was filled with killing intent, like a demon straight from hell!
The moment Xu Qing saw Qiao Yanhui, her eyes lit up. He was finally here!
After Qiao Yanhui entered, he checked Xu Qing’s condition nervously. After confirming that Xu Qing was fine, the killing intent on his body dissipated a little. However, when he faced Ao Heng, his killing intent surged again!
Ao Heng knew that Qiao Yanhui would come, but he didn’t expect Qiao Yanhui to be so terrifying. He was simply fearless. Could it be that he wanted to kill his father?
It was impossible for Ao Heng not to be afraid. If he didn’t know Qiao Yanhui’s ability, he wouldn’t be so afraid!
“Ao Heng, I’m warning you! If there’s a next time, I don’t mind changing the emperor of the country!” Qiao Yanhui’s voice was so cold that it made people tremble!
This man was simply terrifying and emotionless. No, he wasn’t emotionless towards everyone.
Ao Heng’s expression was very ugly. He was furious that Qiao Yanhui actually dared to say such words! He was even more furious that he was actually afraid of his own son!
Xu Qing felt that her husband was simply too handsome right now. She looked at Qiao Yanhui with sparkling eyes. She knew that no matter what, Qiao Yanhui would definitely protect her!
After Qiao Yanhui finished speaking, he left with Xu Qing, who was still immersed in admiration for him. Although he enjoyed his wife’s admiration for him, his expression was still very cold. “I remember telling you not to put yourself in danger! Did you ignore my advice?”
