Chapter 175: Awakening

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If not for the fact that Xu Hanxue had heard Xu Qing mention this antidote when she was bored and that she had always been interested in concocting poison and had been participating in it, Xu Qing would probably have died this time. The moment before she fainted, Xu Qing was wondering if she would appear in an unfamiliar space-time dimension when she woke up again. She thought that it probably wouldn’t happen anymore. She didn’t want to leave her family in this space-time dimension either…

When Xu Qing opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Qiao Yanhui sitting at the head of the bed with a haggard expression. He was caressing her head, and his eyes were filled with guilt and heartache.

Qiao Yanhui woke up two days after Xu Qing saved him. When he found out that Xu Qing had eaten poison to save him, he almost rushed into the palace and killed Ao Heng with his own hands. If not for Deng Jiangming and Hua Yuncheng stopping him, the entire country’s power dynamic would have changed when Xu Qing woke up.

Qiao Yanhui caressed his lover’s face guiltily, hoping that she would wake up soon. “I’m sorry. I didn’t protect you well.”

Xu Qing’s heart ached when she saw Qiao Yanhui like this. Her voice was a little hoarse, but she still said in a gentle voice, “Little Hui…”

Qiao Yanhui suddenly looked up at Xu Qing with an ecstatic expression. “You’re finally awake. Are you feeling unwell? Tell me. Does your body still hurt? What do you want to eat?” Looking at the nervous Qiao Yanhui, Xu Qing teared up and spat out with difficulty, “Water.”

“Okay.” Qiao Yanhui quickly brought the glass of water over and carefully helped Xu Qing up before gently feeding her.

Xu Qing took a few sips and felt that her throat, which was sore, was finally relieved. She also had more strength. She caressed Qiao Yanhui’s still pale face and said with heartache, “You haven’t recovered yet. Why aren’t you resting?”

Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing and said in a low voice, “Compared to you, these are nothing! How can you be so stupid? Have you thought about what will happen to the children if something happens to us? Even if I can recover, what will happen to me if you’re gone and I’m left alone?”

“Silly.” Xu Qing’s entire body was limp, but she still gently raised her hand and comforted him again and again.

“You’re not obedient at all.” Qiao Yanhui suddenly pulled Xu Qing out of his arms and stared at Xu Qin deeply.

Xu Qing saw the blame and worry in his eyes and felt very guilty.

Just as Xu Qing was in a daze, Qiao Yanhui kissed her passionately. This time, his kiss was extremely gentle, yet he was also trembling. He was afraid!

When Xu Qing realized this, her heart ached. A proud and unruly man like Qiao Yanhui actually revealed fear at this moment! Xu Qing kissed him back with heartache, hoping to appease him. It was all her fault. She wasn’t vigilant enough and was schemed against by Ao Heng. She was too confident and thought that Ao Heng wouldn’t do anything openly. She was the one who implicated Qiao Yanhui!

When Qiao Yanhui’s worries were finally relieved, he placed his chin on the top of Xu Qing’s head and said in a low voice, “No matter what happens in the future, don’t put yourself in danger!” Qiao Yanhui warned again. However, she was always disobedient and made him worry!

Xu Qing nodded, but when she thought of the poison in Qiao Yanhui’s body, her expression darkened. The poison in Qiao Yanhui’s body had been forcefully activated, which caused Qiao Yanhui to only have less than a year left to live! He originally had three years to find an antidote.

Xu Qing asked worriedly, “How’s the search for the antidote going?”

“There’s some news.” Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing, who was frowning in his arms, and his heart ached.

Xu Qing instructed, “I have to be faster. I have to be faster…”

Qiao Yanhui’s arms that were hugging Xu Qing stiffened slightly. Although Xu Qing didn’t say it explicitly, he understood what she meant. In other words, he didn’t have much time left!

Xu Qing held Qiao Yanhui’s cold hand as she smiled dazzlingly. “You still have me. You know me. My medical skills are very good. I can definitely protect you.”

“I know,” Qiao Yanhui whispered.

Xu Qing suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, “Do you know who poisoned you?”

Qiao Yanhui’s expression changed. “I have some guesses…”

Xu Qing’s expression froze, and her heart ached for Qiao Yanhui. How many cruel things had he experienced when he was still a young child and yearned for kinship?! How saddened must he have felt when he started to have guesses?

“It’s all in the past.” Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing and felt her bodily warmth. So what if his past was cruel? He had already endured it. Moreover, he had Xu Qing and the children. He was already very satisfied!

“Qiao Yanhui, I’ll always be with you.” Xu Qing promised gently.
