Chapter 380: 380 The Face Under the Mask Is Better

380 The Face Under the Mask Is Better

Ao Jie was sent to Xu Qing’s residence in the middle of the night. When Xu Qing heard that something had happened to Ao Jie, she was shocked.

When Xu Qing arrived in the living room, she saw two men in black carrying Ao Jie onto the bed.

“You guys…” Xu Qing frowned slightly.

“The Emperor instructed us to send him to you immediately if anything strange happens,” Black One said solemnly.

“What’s wrong with him?” Xu Qing asked as she took out the silver needles.

“His Majesty has been in pain since just now. I tried to wake him up, but he didn’t wake up. He’s also sweating profusely,” Black Second said solemnly.

Xu Qing had a guess. Ao Jie said that he would remember some things from his childhood from time to time these past few days and interact with his other personality. She guessed that Ao Jie probably remembered something from his childhood, but what happened at that time was too terrifying for him, so much so that he had a nightmare and couldn’t wake up from it. All she could do now was stabilize Ao Jie’s chaotic pulse first and then try to wake him up. Otherwise, Ao Jie would collapse.

After treating Ao Jie the entire night, Xu Qing’s mouth was dry from all the talking, but it didn’t have much effect. If only Qiao Yanhui was here. A single sentence from Qiao Yanhui would be enough to get Ao Jie out of his predicament. However, Qiao Yanhui wasn’t around, so she could only keep mentioning Qiao Yanhui in Ao Jie’s ear, in hopes that it would be useful.

After Xu Qing glanced at the horizon, she said to the two secret guards, who were as still as statues, “I’m afraid the emperor won’t wake up today. Please go back to the palace and stabilize the people first.”

“Yes,” the two secret guards hurriedly replied. Ao Jie had once given them the order that they had to obey Xu Qing no matter what.

Xu Qing was a little surprised by their unconditional obedience, but she wasn’t in the mood to ask further and continued to treat Ao Jie.

It wasn’t until dusk that Ao Jie slowly woke up. He looked at Xu Qing, who was sleeping beside him. Then, he moved his body weakly to get up and cover Xu Qing with a blanket, but he woke her up.

“You’re finally awake.” Xu Qing looked at Ao Jie in surprise.

“Yes.” Ao Jie’s gaze was gloomy, making Xu Qing feel as if Ao Jie had changed.

“Ao Jie, you…” Xu Qing paused.

“I remember everything now.” Ao Jie’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

“Then you…” Xu Qing was a little worried.

“Don’t worry. Since I woke up, it means that I’ve overcome it.” Ao Jie’s voice was like a hammer that struck Xu Qing’s heart, making her heart ache. Ao Jie must have suffered something that ordinary people couldn’t bear.

When Xu Qing saw Ao Jie’s expression, she was worried that Ao Jie would have the urge to rush to the palace to kill Lin Shu, so she hurriedly said, “You can’t be rash. We can’t do anything to Lin Shu yet!” She had yet to develop the antidote for the Gu worms in Ao Jie’s body. If Ao Jie acted rashly, Ao Jie would definitely be in danger. Of course, Lin Shu might not be able to bear to part with her son, but if they really forced Lin Shu into a corner, who knew what that crazy woman would do?

“Yes.” Ao Jie was still immersed in his thoughts. He stayed in the Qiao family’s house for a while longer before preparing to return to the palace.

“Ao Jie, stay for dinner tonight. The two children miss you a lot.” Xu Qing called out to Ao Jie. How could she be at ease when he was in this state?

Ao Jie stopped in his tracks. “Okay.”

Xu Qing pondered over when she should find a wife for Ao Jie. At least, she had to find a woman who loved him wholeheartedly. At the dining table, Xu Qing stared at Ao Jingshi so intently that her gaze made Ao Jie’s hair stand on end.

“If you continue to stare at me like this, I’m afraid Little Hui will kill me when he comes back! Don’t harm me.” Ao Jie looked like he was begging for mercy.

Xu Qing originally wanted to find a gentle woman for Ao Jie, but that didn’t seem appropriate. She was afraid that the woman would become suspicious and resentful because she couldn’t understand Ao Jie’s thoughts. At that time, their relationship would sour.

“Even food can’t shut you up,” Xu Qing said angrily.

“Pretty Uncle, I want to eat that pork rib!” Xue’er pointed at a certain spot and said softly.

“Alright, but you have to tell me why you call me Pretty Uncle?” Ao Jie was suddenly curious. His face wasn’t that good-looking. Even Deng Jiangming, that brute, was better-looking than him, but Xue’er called him Pretty Uncle.

“I think your face under the mask is very good-looking,” Xue’er replied innocently as she ate with relish.

Ao Jie stiffened and asked mechanically, “What mask?”
