Chapter 173: Blood Poison Acts Up

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Qing came back to her senses when she heard Qiao Yanhui’s questioning and smiled in embarrassment. “I thought… he wouldn’t dare to do anything to me openly.” As for the synthetic poison just now, she had quietly cured it, so of course she wasn’t afraid!

However, these words made Qiao Yanhui’s eyes flash with coldness. When had that man ever been afraid to attack? He wouldn’t!

“In the future, you have to stay by my side at all times.” When Qiao Yanhui said this, his voice was a little hoarse. He didn’t dare to imagine what he would do if something happened to Xu Qing…

When Qiao Yanhui brought Xu Qing back to the Qiao family, everyone was waiting at the door anxiously. Even Hua Yuncheng and Deng Jiangming were there. This was because they were with Qiao Yanhui to begin with. When they found out that Xu Qing had been summoned by Ao Heng, they were also worried. They couldn’t rush to the palace together, so they could only wait here.

The three children were even more worried. When they saw their parents return, they rushed forward.

Xu Qing had a blissful expression, but in the next second, she felt the tall body beside her suddenly tremble! Xu Qing was shocked and looked up at Qiao Yanhui. She saw that Qiao Yanhui’s face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat!

Xu Qing was about to ask when Qiao Yanhui fainted! Everything happened too quickly and there was no chance for anyone to react.

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

Xu Qing knelt beside Qiao Yanhui and took his pulse. However, soon, Xu Qing’s expression became even uglier, and she became flustered! Why? The poison in Qiao Yanhui’s body that had been suppressed was suddenly aroused! And it was getting stronger and stronger? Why? There had been no sign at all!

“What’s wrong with him?” Hua Yuncheng asked anxiously. He could tell that Qiao Yanhui’s poison had flared up, but wasn’t Qiao Yanhui’s poison under control already? Why did it suddenly flare up? And it was so intense!

Xu Qing didn’t say anything and hurriedly fed Qiao Yanhui a pill to suppress the poison, but this time, her pill was useless. Qiao Yanhui’s poison was even more powerful, as if something was urging the poison in his body! But what was it?

Xu Qing was a little flustered. If she couldn’t think of a way, Qiao Yanhui would definitely die from the poison! She had to calm down. What was activating Qiao Yanhui’s poison?! Xu Qing broke out in cold sweat. For the first time, helplessness and anxiety appeared in her eyes!

When Deng Jiangming saw Xu Qing’s expression, he was instantly anxious. “What happened in the palace?”

Xu Qing’s expression changed… The palace! Incense! Tea!

When Xu Qing thought of this, she quickly left Qiao Yanhui’s side and said sternly to Deng Jiangming and Hua Yuncheng, “Hurry up and bring him in. Take off all his clothes and put him in the water!”

Deng Jiangming and Hua Yuncheng were stunned by Xu Qing’s sudden order. Qiao Yanhui’s poison had already acted up! Was he going to take a shower now? Deng Jiangming was about to question her when Xu Qing shouted, “Hurry up! There’s no time to waste!”

The two of them didn’t ask further. After all, no one other than Xu Qing could save Qiao Yanhui now.

Xu Qing looked in the direction of the palace with a gloomy expression! Ao Heng actually dared to set up such a scheme!

Xu Qing thought that Ao Heng would at most poison her and take her down a notch. She didn’t expect that he had planned this from the beginning! His target had never been her, but Qiao Yanhui!

When the incense and tea were separated, they only formed a non-lethal poison. However, Xu Qing neglected one thing. When these two were combined, they would form a dark fragrance in one’s body. That dark fragrance wasn’t going to ordinary people, but it was the best medicine to activate the blood poison in Qiao Yanhui’s body!

Qiao Yanhui had been by her side along the way and absorbed a lot of the dark fragrance emitted from her body. It activated the poison bit by bit. As long as she approached Qiao Yanhui, Qiao Yanhui would be in danger! Xu Qing distanced herself from Qiao Yanhui and even asked Deng Jiangming and the others to help Qiao Yanhui wash off the dark fragrance on her body!

However, Xu Qing couldn’t figure out why. Could it be that Ao Heng already knew that she was the one who suppressed the poison in Qiao Yanhui’s body? Otherwise, why would he use her to trigger Qiao Yanhui’s poison? This would stop her from treating Qiao Yanhui. Or was all of this just a coincidence? However, there was something else that didn’t make sense. Ao Heng seemed to be very incognizant of all of this. The medicinal catalyst that triggered the blood poison was extremely rare. How did Ao Heng know? Could it be… the blood poison in Qiao Yanhui’s body was planted by Ao Heng?
