328 Preparing to Abdicate

“Brother, I’m so cold and hungry. Can you save me?” Ao Jie’s sudden plea stunned Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing.

Why did this personality know what happened to the other personality? If Xu Qing remembered correctly, it was impossible for one personality to know what the other personality did! They were not connected! They were like two independent people! Could it be that who she had been hypnotizing wasn’t Ao Jie, whom they usually saw, but the current Ao Jie? Various thoughts raced through Xu Qing’s mind.

“Little Hui is clearly your younger brother, but why do you keep calling him your older brother?” Xu Qing asked.

A gloomy look flashed in Ao Jie’s eyes. Not wanting to hear her speak, he covered his ears and shouted, “You’re not qualified to talk to me!”

These words angered Qiao Yanhui and he attacked Ao Jie. “She’s my woman!” How could he let others look down on his woman?

Ao Jie was also enraged. He tried to attack Qiao Yanhui, but his internal energy was inferior to Qiao Yanhui’s and a mouthful of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. “I’m your brother, but you actually hit me…”

Xu Qing analyzed Ao Jie’s inner thoughts. He kept emphasizing that Qiao Yanhui was his older brother and could only belong to him. This meant that he was very insecure and lonely.

“Ao Jie, are you sure you’ve seen Qiao Yanhui before? How can you be sure that he’s your older brother? Perhaps you’ve mistaken him for someone else…” This version of Ao Jie’s personality probably split from Ao Jie’s main personality. Xu Qing could roughly guess how it happened. In the small black room, the main personality was injured. He kept forcing himself to become stronger and braver, so he developed a tough and psychopathic split personality. However, according to the timeline, the secondary personality couldn’t have seen Qiao Yanhui before. Moreover, the moment they met, he even said that Qiao Yanhui was his older brother.

“Of course I have seen him before! When I was seven years old, I sneaked out and saw my older brother, but before I could say anything, I was dragged back by that woman…” Ao Jie’s eyes were filled with resentment.

For some reason, Qiao Yanhui could actually sense the resentment in Ao Jie’s heart. It even made him feel the urge to kill Lin Shu!

Xu Qing didn’t understand why Lin Shu would beat Ao Jie up in the small black room, nor did she understand why she had let Ao Jie out so easily now. Xu Qing didn’t understand why every time Ao Jie talked to them, he didn’t remember this past.

What had Lin Shu done to make Ao Jie forget that past?

As Xu Qing stared at Ao Jie, she gathered all her suspicions into one question and asked, “You… are Qiao Yanhui’s twin brother?”

Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing in shock, then looked at Ao Jie, who had his head lowered. He wanted Ao Jie to give a definite answer, but there was no answer.

Xu Qing knew that the secondary personality had already returned to Ao Jie’s body. The secondary personality couldn’t last long. After she approached Ao Jie and took his pulse, she said, “He’s asleep.” Xu Qing felt a little helpless. She was always interrupted at the most critical moment.

Qiao Yanhui looked at Ao Jie thoughtfully.

After settling Ao Jie down, Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing. He didn’t ask anything, but Xu Qing knew what Qiao Yanhui wanted to ask. “This is just my guess.” Although schizophrenia wasn’t her forte, how could Ao Jie’s other personality be Qiao Yanhui’s twin brother? This didn’t make sense… However, when she saw Ao Jie’s appearance just now, Xu Qing had this intuition.

Qiao Yanhui’s eyes flickered as he looked in the direction of the palace with a strong killing intent.

Ever since Qiao Yanhui returned to the country, Lin Shu had experts protecting her at all times. Even if he lured these experts away, Lin Shu herself had extraordinary martial arts skills as well. It was obvious that she was also a pivotal figure in a secret family.

But hadn’t the secret families always been only secretly observing the entire continent? Why would they want a member to be the empress this time?

In the end, Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing decided to put this matter aside because there was another important matter at hand.

“The hunting festival is coming up soon…” Qiao Yanhui said.

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows. “Ao Heng is planning to attack?”

“Yes.” Qiao Yanhui didn’t mind. After all, he had known about Ao Heng’s plan since long ago.

“Are you planning to let him abdicate at that time?” Xu Qing asked. Ao Jie had yet to recover yet, so it was too soon.

“Since Ao Jie’s matter has nothing to do with Ao Heng, there’s no need to keep him.” Qiao Yanhui seemed as if he was talking about an unimportant person.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Xu Qing smiled. No matter what decision Qiao Yanhui made, she would support him.

“Thank you!” Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing tightly. He was very grateful for Xu Qing’s accompaniment.

“Silly, we’re husband and wife,” Xu Qing said with a smile.
