Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 296 - : The Best Excuse!

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: The Best Excuse!

At that moment, Qi Yue’s heart skipped a beat.

The news about Longnan County Government was her greatest concern during this period.

Firstly, she was worried about Chu Yunfei, Huang Zai’an, and others, especially since the Hu father and son were still there.

Even though Hu Chengxuan was reportedly stabbed, there had been no news of his death.

No matter what others said, Qi Yue knew that he had Qing Nanzun’s blood in him and wouldn’t die so easily.

Now she was afraid that once the Hu father and son discovered this secret, there was no telling how they would use it!

...

Secondly, she was genuinely concerned about the poison men left by Qing Nanzun.

With this hidden threat, there was no saying when news would come that the people of Longnan County Government had been poisoned overnight.

So, upon hearing Zhao Chong’s words, Qi Yue rushed out of her room.

“Do you know what the contents are?”

“I do not know, Master. After reading it, he asked me to come over and invite Miss to discuss.”

…

An hour later, in the study of the front hall, Qi Yue also furrowed her brow at the content of the military report.

She had thought that once the affair in Yecheng was settled, she could return to Longnan County Government, but now it seemed that things had clearly taken a turn for the worse.

“Xiyan, what do you think?”

“Currently, the Imperial Court is muddleheaded, and the people are suffering. Hu Keqing’s sudden proclamation of independence must have been premeditated. I’m worried that Huang Zai’an and others have already been captured.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue could no longer sit still, “Are you saying my master and my adoptive father are in danger?”

Zhao Xiyan nodded.

“Hu Keqing wants to declare independence. He will surely need an excuse, and right now, there is the best excuse!”

“Are you talking about us?”

“Yes, if my guess is correct, Hu Keqing will certainly use our alleged rebellion as a pretext to amass troops at the border and prevent us from entering Longnan County Government…”

“So, before that happens, he will surely have first captured those who are close to us,”

“Exactly,” Zhao Xiyan nodded, “It’s too late to say anything now. I’ve already had people continue the investigation; we should have news soon.”

A few days later, new news came from the direction of Longnan.

Chu Yuntian was captured by Hu Keqing.

Fortunately, Qi Yue had given Qu Wei a laser gun earlier; he repelled the soldiers and escaped with Huang Zai’an and his junior brother Little Shanzi. Their current whereabouts are unknown.

“Master, what should we do now?” Zhao Chong asked urgently, “This Hu Keqing is son-in-law to that old scoundrel Lin, and the two have long been in cahoots. I fear there will be big movements at the Capital City as well.”

But Zhao Xiyan shook his head.

“Now, Lin Yuan holds great power and is busy eliminating his rivals. He doesn’t have time to attend to matters outside the court. However, it’s time to bring the Duke and his wife back.”

As he spoke, he knitted his brows and after a long moment said, “We should contract our manpower and focus on Longnan County Government and the Capital City to ensure daily updates of intelligence.”

“Yes, Master.”

Zhao Chong took his leave.

Zhao Xiyan was about to ask Qi Yue for her thoughts when he turned around and saw her staring intently at the map of the four countries on the wall.

This was a military topographic map that only generals and above could understand.

However, by the looks of it, Qi Yue could not only understand it but also seemed to be very interested.

“Yueyue, have you discovered something?”

“Hmm, a little something,”

Qi Yue pointed to the map, connecting Yecheng, Longnan County Government, and the Capital City of Beiyuan Kingdom.

“I never expected that these three places, when connected, perfectly form an equilateral triangle.”

“What’s an equilateral triangle?” asked Zhao Xiyan, puzzled.

“It means that the distances between the three places are equal.”

Zhao Xiyan narrowed his eyes.

“Yueyue wants to go to the Capital City?”

Qi Yue nodded.

“That’s what I’m thinking. According to what you said, there’s no way to enter Longnan County Government from the southeast. Hu Keqing must be guarding the border tightly. It’s better if I go to the Capital City once, get my father and mother out, then find a way to get into Longnan County Government and look at the situation. At that time, we will react accordingly.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan pressed his lips together and fell into thought. After a long while, he finally said, “The method is good, but there are too many variables and it’s too dangerous. You can’t go.”

He paused, and then added, “I’ll let the four guys with different heights and builds go…”

“No!” Before Zhao Xiyan could finish, Qi Yue interrupted, “If they leave, what will you do here? Although our forces have become much stronger, those soldiers desperately need training and organization. This is the time when they’re needed.”

“Don’t we have you and me? Aren’t we a little stronger than those four?” Zhao Xiyan said with an indifferent face.

“Strong is strong, but there are some things they can’t do…”

This statement left Qi Yue momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

Her plan had obviously been considered carefully.

She had thought before that while taking Zhao Yongzhe and others out of the Capital City, she would take the opportunity to deal with Beiyuan’s foolish ruler and Prime Minister Lin, and empty their warehouses.

Firstly, it was to take revenge for herself, and secondly, to make them completely lose their power to resist. Just in case they wanted to confront Zhao Xiyan, then they would have no choice but to surrender.

Besides, her detour back to Longnan also had several considerations.

Chu Yuntian needed to be rescued, and she had to find Huang Zai’an and others.

The most important point was to deal with the Hu father and son, find out the truth about Qi Yunzhang’s death, and protect the pharmacy and pharmaceutical factory, after all, Longnan County Government was the home she recognized.

All these matters, one by one, required her to complete. Nobody else could replace her.

“If it can’t be done, then we won’t do it. They can still do the important things.”

Zhao Xiyan’s attitude was very resolute, and his words seemed to carry an implicit meaning.

What’s important and what’s not, wasn’t it just telling her he knew she wanted to empty the Capital City?

Thinking of her emptying things while Zhao Xiyan just watched her perform, Qi Yue felt a bit embarrassed.

“When did you find out?”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan’s puzzled look, Qi Yue got straight to the point, “You went to Yanjing before, right? The one who knocked out the people in the Fox King Residence and Yewang Prefecture that day was you, wasn’t it?”

“I…”

Before Zhao Xiyan could speak, Qi Yue hastily said, “If it was, just admit it. I have something important to tell you.”

Finally, Zhao Xiyan furrowed his brow and looked deeply into her eyes, then nodded.

“It was me.”

“So, did you see those things disappear into thin air that day?”

Upon hearing this question, Zhao Xiyan drooped his eyes.

He remembered the first time he saw Qi Yue wave her hand and clear out an entire room, a scene that still seemed unbelievable to this day.

But afterwards, he understood that he must never allow a second person to discover Qi Yue’s secret.

Because he couldn’t guarantee that others wouldn’t covet it.

“Yueyue, at first, I didn’t mean to see it on purpose. At that time, I just wanted to protect you.”

Qi Yue nodded. She didn’t want to ask how he found out; it was meaningless. What mattered was the future.

“Zhao Xiyan, listen to me, I have something to tell you.”

“You speak.”

Even though Zhao Xiyan’s expression was calm, Qi Yue still noticed his muscles tensing, and his beautiful phoenix eyes seemed larger than usual.

“Zhao Xiyan, don’t be nervous. This is about my origin. I should have told you earlier. After all, I can’t let you marry someone without knowing who your wife is.”

She touched Zhao Xiyan’s hand, intending to soothe him, but he gripped hers tightly in return.

“I know,” Zhao Xiyan’s exceptionally beautiful face was filled with repressed anxiety, “no matter who you are or where you come from, I just want you to be my wife.”
