334 Mysterious Army

When Ao Jie saw Qiao Yanhui’s anxious expression, he asked, “Little Hui… what’s wrong?” The bumpy journey upset his stomach. Why didn’t he know that Qiao Yanhui was so strong? Qiao Yanhui’s firm muscles were so hard to the touch.

Qiao Yanhui ignored him. When they finally arrived at the Qiao family’s house, Qiao Yanhui threw him on the stone table.

Ao Jie was speechless.

There was no need to do this, right? He didn’t have to say much, okay? His small body really couldn’t withstand the hard fall.

Xu Qing knew that Qiao Yanhui was worried about Ao Jie’s condition, so he used this stone table as a bed. She hurriedly went over to check Ao Jie carefully and took out the silver needles.

Ao Jie’s eyes widened. He was fine, so why did he have to get acupuncture?

Finally, Xu Qing finished checking Ao Jie. She had a solemn expression.

“Did I have some terminal illness? Just say it.” This was Ao Jie’s first thought. Otherwise, he didn’t know how to explain Xu Qing’s solemn expression.

“You don’t remember anything?” Xu Qing frowned.

“What should I remember?” Ao Jie was puzzled.

“Tell me in detail everything that happened since you entered the empress’s palace today,” Qiao Yanhui said coldly.

Ao Jie scratched his head in confusion. “Mother asked me to play chess today, so I went. After that, I felt very sleepy after playing for a while and fell asleep.”

Xu Qing didn’t notice anything unusual. When she entered, she specifically paid attention to the air and decorations. There was no hypnotic thing or any poison, so why did Ao Jie fall asleep unknowingly? She had a feeling that Ao Jie had lost a part of his memory.

“Think about it again. Did you guys chat or do anything strange at that time?” Xu Qing suspected that Lin Shu also knew hypnosis. Moreover, hypnosis didn’t necessarily require anything to induce it.

Ao Jie tried his best to remember. “Mother did say a lot of things to me. She was very kind to me. I felt so warm…”

Xu Qing understood. Lin Shu really knew hypnosis, and it was advanced hypnosis!

Ao Jie smiled bitterly. “Is there a problem?” He actually understand that if there was no problem, how could his mother be so gentle to him? He really didn’t understand why. Why did his mother treat him so well sometimes, but so bad at other times…

“Little Hui, I suspect that Ao Jie was hypnotized. Perhaps she deleted a certain memory of his, or she lured out his other personality!” Xu Qing guessed.

“You’re not allowed to see that woman again,” Qiao Yanhui said as he looked at Ao Jie. He didn’t expect Lin Shu to know hypnosis on a level that even surpassed Xu Qing’s. This wasn’t good for Ao Jie.

Ao Jie was puzzled by Qiao Yanhui’s change. He seemed to have started to care more about him and hate the empress even more…

“She’s my mother after all, so she won’t do any harm to me, right?” Ao Jie asked uncertainly.

Qiao Yanhui immediately shot him a look. Ao Jie immediately shut up, but he smiled bitterly. Sometimes, he really couldn’t avoid calamity.

For a moment, the room was a little too quiet. Yuan’er and the others stared at Qiao Yanhui and the others quietly. Although they didn’t know what had happened, Yuan’er and the others knew that there was big trouble.

“By the way, today, I heard from my mother that the emperor has a mysterious army in his hands. I heard that every generation of emperors has one,” Ao Jie suddenly broke the silence.

Qiao Yanhui pursed his lips slightly. He knew what Ao Heng had, but he didn’t know its exact background. It was also because of this that he was worried about leaving the children in the Qiao family’s home and wanted to bring them with him.

“As for the use of this army, I heard from my mother that it’s used to counterbalance the secret families,” Ao Jie said.

Qiao Yanhui’s eyes flickered. Counterbalance the secret families? However, he didn’t understand if it could counterbalance all the secret families or just one. Over the past few days, he had also found some information about the secret families. It could be said that the few secret families were spread throughout every corner of the continent. They had always had control over the entire continent.

Among them, the Ancient Kingdom had the most secret families distributed throughout it, but even so, there were only eight secret families in total.

There was the Liu family, which lived in the Green Mountain Nation, who was proficient in the five elements, eight trigrams, and divination. There was also the Ren family, which lived in the Nujiang Kingdom. There were no secret families in the Dali Kingdom, but at the border between the Dali Kingdom and the Ancient Kingdom, there was the powerful Lin family, which was Lin Shu’s family. As for the rest, they were all in the territory of the Ancient Kingdom. There was the Ji family, Qiao Yanhui’s mother’s family, and three other mysterious families, which were the Nian family, the Cui family, and the Han family.
