353 Begging to Help
Xu Qing couldn’t understand how Ao Jie No. 3 was triggered. How many personalities did he have? Could it be that No. 3 appeared because Ao Heng was about to die? But shouldn’t the hot-tempered Ao Jie No. 2 be triggered instead? Ao Jie No. 2 had always hated Ao Heng. If Ao Heng died, Ao Jie No. 2 would definitely be overjoyed and take over. Xu Qing had a feeling that she hadn’t investigated Ao Jie’s body clearly last time. Perhaps something had been overlooked.

“Let’s bring him down the mountain first.” It was too dark here. Even if she wanted to investigate seriously, she couldn’t find anything.

“Yes.” Qiao Yanhui nodded and asked Qiao Jun to carry Ao Jie down the mountain.

Xu Qing also followed behind Qiao Yanhui, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks. When she arrived in front of the dead men in black and smelled their subtle scent, she was a little puzzled.

“What’s wrong?” When Qiao Yanhui saw Xu Qing squatting in front of the man in black and thinking seriously, he frowned slightly. Then, he thought of something and said, “I remember that not long after they died, they emitted a faint fragrance.”

Xu Qing nodded solemnly. Although she didn’t know what this fragrance had to do with Ao Jie, she felt that there was something strange about it, so she had to pay more attention. However, Xu Qing didn’t stay any longer since she still had to go down the mountain as soon as possible. At this moment, she was hugged by Qiao Yanhui, who said in her ear in a magnetic voice, “You must be tired, so rest for a while.”

After going through so much tonight, Xu Qing must be tired. Qiao Yanhui couldn’t bear to see her so exhausted.

“Alright.” Xu Qing rubbed against Qiao Yanhui’s chest and found a comfortable position to rest in.

Qiao Yanhui gazed at Xu Qing deeply and then at Ao Jie, who wasn’t far away, with a mysterious look in his eyes.

Xu Qing didn’t expect to sleep until the next morning. When she suddenly remembered what happened last night, she hurriedly put on her clothes and left the tent. Just as she left the tent, she was stunned because the outside had already been tidied up. It was so clean that there wasn’t even the smell of blood. If not for the fact that she was certain she had experienced it, Xu Qing would have thought that she was hallucinating.

“You’re awake.” Deng Chengxi was also helping. When she saw Xu Qing come out, she hurriedly walked over.

“What’s the current situation?” Xu Qing was a little baffled.

“Last night, after Qiao Yanhui settled you down, he brought people to clean up the scene. Later on, we found the emperor’s corpse on the hill at the back of the mountain,” Deng Chengxi explained slightly.

“Did he say how he died?” Xu Qing had a guess.

“He said that Bao Hongyi colluded with bandits to murder the emperor.” Deng Chengxi knew about last night’s chaos, but some details had to be confirmed.

Xu Qing had a mocking smile on her face. Ao Heng, the dignified emperor of a country, died a cowardly death, but he deserved it.

“Where’s Little Hui?” Xu Qing still didn’t see Qiao Yanhui.

“He went to the Crown Prince’s tent. However… the Crown Prince seems a little strange today.” It wasn’t that Deng Chengxi had never seen Ao Jie before, but Ao Jie was acting very strange today. Even Qiao Yanhui was acting very strange. He actually got someone to tie Ao Jie up.

“They’re fine. They’re just a little unsettled by what happened. Bring me to Little Hui’s place.” Xu Qing couldn’t explain this. After all, the fewer people who knew about this, the better. It was also safe for Deng Chengxi.

Seeing that Xu Qing didn’t explain further, Deng Chengxi didn’t ask, leading Xu Qing towards Qiao Yanhui.

However, what Xu Qing saw along the way made her sigh. This incident was very unexpected and many people died. However, if not for Qiao Yanhui’s prior arrangements, there would have been more casualties.

Xun Fen, Teng Nian, and the others were also trying their best to save the injured so there would be fewer casualties. After all, these were all human lives.

Xu Qing had more important things to do now. As long as Ao Jie’s matter wasn’t resolved, she and Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t be able to live in peace. Therefore, she couldn’t treat these patients at the moment.

Suddenly, a disheveled figure pounced in front of Xu Qing and begged her sorrowfully, “Madam, I know you’re Bei Shu. Please save my parents.” The person who came was the girl who had confessed to Xu Sizhi two days ago, Liu Haitong.

Xu Qing had a good impression of Liu Haitong. At the very least, she was a very rational person. When she knew that it was impossible with Xu Sizhi, she gave up decisively without obsessing over it or causing trouble for others. For her parents’ sake, she overcame her fear of Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing and begged Xu Qing to treat her family.

However, Liu Haitong didn’t think about Xu Qing’s identity. She wasn’t a saint, so she wouldn’t treat a person who had nothing to do with her. She only helped in certain situations.
