Chapter 312 - 312 Another Secret Family

312 Another Secret Family

When night fell, the smell of blood emerged again. A dark red figure kept moving through the sea of people. He was like the grim reaper. Wherever he went, there were bloody corpses.

“Someone, stop him!” Yi Chi hid under the bed while trembling. He really regretted it now. Why did he try to kill Qiao Yanhui? But who would have thought that even so, Qiao Yanhui still survived?! Was Qiao Yanhui related to Satan? Even hell wouldn’t accept him?

With a bang, the heavy door was kicked open from the outside. As Yi Chi lay under the bed, his pupils dilated in shock and he pleaded, “Please don’t kill me. I can give you anything… Please…”

Qiao Yanhui, who was covered in blood, had an impassive expression as he looked down at Yi Chi. How could such a coward be worthy of being the emperor?

“Who gave you the guts, huh?” Qiao Yanhui’s menacing voice terrified Yi Chi, who felt like fainting, but he was afraid that if he fainted, Qiao Yanhui would kill him. As long as he didn’t faint, he might not die. He was the emperor, so if Qiao Yanhui killed him, it would be a war between two countries!

However, Yi Chi was deluded. Qiao Yanhui wasn’t afraid of these things.

After Qiao Yanhui asked him the question, Yi Chi trembled and said truthfully, “It’s… the Lin family, one of the secret families… They forced me… I had no choice…”

Qiao Yanhui narrowed his eyes. It was actually a secret family once again! But the Lin family? He remembered that Ji Jing had said that the person who stopped them from investigating was Empress Lin Shu, so the faction behind her was the Lin family, one of the secret families!

Qiao Yanhui’s blood dripped to the ground in front of Yi Chi.

As Qiao Yanhui took a step forward, Yi Chi’s heart skipped a beat. He stared at Qiao Yanhui’s smiling face. The smile grew wider and wider, and his face was covered in blood…

Yi Chi’s pupils dilated even more. In the end, his body fell down limply.

Qiao Yanhui didn’t even look at him. How embarrassing that the emperor of a country was actually frightened to death! He wondered what Yi Chulin was thinking back then. Although he was a general, since he had already unified the country, why did he have to support a piece of trash like Yi Chi? He must have been out of his mind.

That night was a fateful night for New Heavenly Kingdom’s royal family.

…

After Qiao Yanhui woke up, he felt his chest ache. Although the pain quickly dissipated, he knew that the poison was still there and couldn’t be detoxed. Looking at his seriously injured wife and children, he couldn’t suppress his killing intent. Even if he died, he had to eliminate these obstacles for them.

Qiao Yanhui, who had returned, changed out of his bloody clothes and washed the blood off his body. He didn’t regret doing this. Everyone who hurt his lover had to pay the price, even if they were from a powerful secret family.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in his line of sight. Qiao Yanhui’s heart ached and he hugged that person as he said, “Why didn’t you sleep a little longer? You’re still injured.”

Xu Qing’s breathing quickened, and her voice shook as she asked, “Where did you go? I thought you left like Ying Zhiyao. I thought you were going to face death alone. I thought you didn’t want to stay with me until the end…” Xu Qing was already choking on tears. She rarely cried, but she felt too upset at this moment.

“I’m sorry for making you worry. I won’t do something like that. I can’t bear to.” His words made Xu Qing cry again. Why couldn’t her medical skills be better…

“Although I have no choice, I didn’t say that you’re beyond saving!” Xu Qing said in a choked voice.

Qiao Yanhui’s entire body trembled, and a mixture of emotions appeared in his eyes. However, Xu Qing knew that Qiao Yanhui had already arranged all the backup plans. At the thought of this, Xu Qing’s heart ached even more.

Actually, Ying Zhiyao might be the only one able to save Qiao Yanhui this time. This was because Ying Zhiyao understood cardiology better than her. With Ying Zhiyao’s poison skills and her medical skills, Qiao Yanhui might have a chance of survival.

When Qiao Yanhui saw Xu Qing’s expression, he knew that this matter wasn’t simple to resolve. After all, if it was possible, Xu Qing wouldn’t have had such a reaction. Qiao Yanhui kissed her glabella and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t die so easily.”

Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui as she promised, “I will definitely cure you.” Three years. She could delay it for three years at most. If Ying Zhiyao didn’t come back within that time…

The next day, there was a funeral in New Heavenly Kingdom.

This was because the old but vigorous emperor had suddenly died. Someone said that last night, someone barged into the palace alone and killed many powerhouses and guards. In the end, before he could do anything to Yi Chi, Yi Chi was frightened to death…
