Ao Jie’s expression was very complicated. He actually felt even more complicated about his selfish father. As he looked at the aloof Qiao Yanhui, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do we really have to do this?” That man was their biological father after all. If he really couldn’t tolerate him, they could give him a quick death. There was no need to torture him like this, right?

Ao Jie knew very well that Qiao Yanhui was deliberately torturing Ao Heng now, and what pained Ao Heng the most was losing all his power. Ao Heng only cared about power. No one was as important as power.

When Qiao Yanhui heard this, he only glanced at Ao Jie coldly.

Although he didn’t say anything, Ao Jie still felt a chill run down his spine.

“Come to the Qiao family’s home tomorrow.” Qiao Yanhui said to Ao Jie and turned to leave. If he wanted to pull Ao Heng down from his position now, there had to be a suitable successor. Otherwise, other countries would definitely covet the position and cause more trouble. Although with him around, he could lead the army, he really didn’t want to interfere anymore. He wanted to spend the rest of his time with his wife and children!

As he didn’t care about having imperial power, he had to find someone to fill up the position. Ao Jie was the only one suitable for the position. However, Ao Jie’s illness…

Qiao Yanhui remembered that Xu Qing had once said that Ao Jie’s illness could be cured, but the treatment was troublesome and would take a long time. Therefore, Qiao Yanhui wanted Ao Jie to start treating his illness now. The sooner he was cured, the sooner he could succeed the throne.

When Ao Jie heard Qiao Yanhui’s words, he was pleasantly surprised, because this was the first time Qiao Yanhui had invited him! In the past, Ao Jie would always look for him directly…

Qiao Yanhui left after telling him. He was in a hurry to go home and see his wife and children. He was different from a bachelor like Ao Jie.

However, as soon as Qiao Yanhui left, the other princes mocked Ao Jie. “Our crown prince is really unique. Other countries rely on their own abilities to become stronger, but ours rely on a so-called ‘younger brother’ to survive! Without Qiao Yanhui, what sort of crown prince are you?!”

The Eldest Prince, Ao Tang, mocked him, but he only dared to appear after Qiao Yanhui left. Qiao Yanhui was becoming more and more unhinged now. He wasn’t qualified to succeed the throne, but he liked to interfere and protect Ao Jie!

Ao Jie couldn’t be bothered to argue with these people. They were just envious! Actually, Qiao Yanhui was more suitable to be the crown prince than him, but he didn’t care. If Qiao Yanhui wanted the position, he could give it to him willingly!

The other princes could only watch in exasperation as Ao Jie left. After all, Ao Jie was still the crown prince. The military was under Qiao Yanhui’s command, and he had a sinister mother. They could only mock him verbally but didn’t dare to do anything else.

At the Qiao family’s house.

Xu Qing propped her chin as she gazed at the sky happily. She was grateful that the heavens had given her such a chance to be reborn here. Because after coming here, she was no longer alone!

At this moment, she was locked in a familiar embrace. Xu Qing knew who it was and held that pair of arms. When she touched the wedding ring on Qiao Yanhui’s finger, she felt even happier.

“I’m back.” Qiao Yanhui’s voice was very pleasant to the ears. Xu Qing felt that she was about to fall into a trance.

Xu Qing didn’t answer him. She only turned around in his arms and hugged his neck with both arms! Then, she tiptoed slightly and answered him with a kiss.

“I’m sorry that I haven’t been accompanying you recently.” Qiao Yanhui’s lips rubbed against Xu Qing’s soft lips, and his voice was hoarse.

Xu Qing shook her head. She knew that Qiao Yanhui had been busy dismantling Ao Heng’s power recently for her sake.

However, Qiao Yanhui still felt that he had neglected Xu Qing. Then, he thought of something and let go of Xu Qing slightly before leading her to the table.

“What is this?” Xu Qing looked at a wooden box and opened it. There was actually an exquisite set of jewelry inside. There was also a piece of clothing inside. Although Xu Qing didn’t know anything about concealed weapons, she also realized that something was amiss. These things weren’t ordinary jewelry and clothes.

Qiao Yanhui introduced them to Xu Qing one by one. They were not ordinary jewelry. They were all rare concealed weapons for Xu Qing to protect herself. “These were made by the number one concealed weapon master in the world, Mingxi. This looks like a vest, but it’s actually made of ice silk. You don’t have internal energy, but it can reduce most of the damage. Also, this bracelet, ring, and earring…”

“Wait, you said Mingxi?” Xu Qing frowned slightly. Didn’t this number one concealed weapon master stop making concealed weapons many years ago? Moreover, this name…
