Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 297 - : Going to the Capital City of Beiyuan Kingdom

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Going to the Capital City of Beiyuan Kingdom

Hearing this, Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Do you really believe the rumors, thinking I’m some kind of monster who devours everything with an open mouth?”

Zhao Xiyan was taken aback for a moment.

“You’ve heard about it?”

Qi Yue smiled and shook the hand that Zhao Xiyan was holding.

“With how nervous you look, how could I not know?”

...

“Does it hurt?” Zhao Xiyan loosened his grip on her hand slightly and gently rubbed it a few times, “…I was afraid that after hearing those words, you might suddenly disappear…”

“I won’t.” Qi Yue smiled, then suddenly had a bit of mischief in her. “Unless you do something I hate…”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan took on a serious expression and once again squeezed her hand tightly.

“What then?”

The man’s incredibly beautiful eyes lit up with excited flames, as if wanting to consume her.

Qi Yue was startled by his gaze and quickly swallowed the words ‘I’ll never see you again’ that were on the tip of her tongue.

The next second, she was held tightly in Zhao Xiyan’s embrace.

“I will never do anything to make you hate me, Yueyue. No matter what, don’t leave me, don’t let me lose you. Yueyue, promise me, promise me…”

Zhao Xiyan’s grip was too strong, and he was a bit deranged, shaking her nonstop.

She was genuinely scared that she would have her shoulder broken by Zhao Xiyan if she was delayed by even a second.

“I promise you, I promise you, just let me go first, you’re hurting me…”

Zhao Xiyan finally let go but quickly held her tight again in his arms.

“Thank you, Yueyue. Will you keep your word?”

Being held too tightly, she could barely breathe, and Qi Yue, no longer caring about anything else, struggled to nod in his embrace.

“Of course, my word is my bond, absolutely.”

She had discovered that Zhao Xiyan was a bit irrational, which didn’t match his original dignified and graceful image at all.

But then again, if he didn’t have that touch of madness, he wouldn’t have waged war on Donggao without a word, and secretly helped empty someone else’s home for her.

This realization caused a warm current to surge in her heart, and she felt even more love for Zhao Xiyan.

After calming down, Qi Yue recounted her identity and origins.

Learning that Qi Yue was human and not a monster, just from another time and space, who had mystery turned her into Miss Qi, Zhao Xiyan’s expression visibly relaxed.

“That is to say, you don’t know how to go back either? Or you don’t have a way to return?”

“I probably can’t return, after all, the ‘me’ over there has died, and so has the Miss Qi over here.”

“So, when you woke up, you became my wife.”

“Mhm.”

“Then, may I think that you came for me?”

“…”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan’s eyes shining with anticipation, Qi Yue couldn’t bear to disappoint him and nodded.

“It’s not impossible to think that way…”

Zhao Xiyan’s face immediately bloomed with a big smile.

“It must be so, Yueyue, you’re destined to be mine.”

As for the mysterious space, Qi Yue did not elaborate on it.

She simply mentioned that there was a trans-dimensional benefit that could be used to store things.

Zhao Xiyan cooperated by not delving deeper into the matter, even saying that he would handle future deceptions, which pleased Qi Yue immensely.

Some things, once discussed, actually do have benefits.

Finally, with Qi Yue’s analysis and persuasion, Zhao Xiyan agreed to let her travel to the Capital City of Beiyuan Kingdom.

“Yueyue, I’m very worried about you, why don’t I go with you?”

“No, you must hold down Yecheng until I come back!”

Qi Yue also wished she could go with Zhao Xiyan.

If he were there, she wouldn’t need to worry about how to get into the Imperial Palace or how to make a full retreat.

That would simply be an invincible match made in heaven!

Imagine the situation!

Zhao Xiyan was responsible for clearing the path for her, eliminating all dangers and possibilities of exposure. All she had to do was just sweep her hand and collect all the good stuff into her space.

Unfortunately, the situation doesn’t allow it now!

Although the situation in Yecheng was largely settled, they were newcomers and their footing was unstable. To completely turn a place into one’s own territory requires careful management.

Moreover, the Donggao Imperial Court would never allow them to occupy Yecheng and its surroundings—sooner or later, they would send troops.

With Zhao Xiyan in Yecheng, maybe the Donggao people wouldn’t dare to come.

But if he left, then who knows what might happen.

After all, compared to Donggao with its strong combat power, Zhao Xiyan had less than two hundred thousand soldiers at his command.

With insufficient military strength, they had to rely on the command of the general to strategize and deploy wisely, maximizing the potential of the available forces.

Given their current identity, if Zhao Xiyan really went off with her on an adventure, by the time they got back, who knows if they would still have a place to set foot in.

That would really be a disaster!

But it was definite that they had to rescue people like Zhao Yongzhe.

If the Donggao Imperial Court were to take them as hostages to force the couple’s hand, that would be troublesome.

Zhao Xiyan of course thought of these things too. After hearing Qi Yue’s rebuttal, he stopped insisting.

Although his handsome face was clearly showing a look of “unhappiness,” Qi Yue had no choice but to soothe him in every possible way, promising her soonest return.

Yet Zhao Xiyan took the opportunity to ask her to take more people with her.

“Yueyue, this habit of yours, going out without taking people along, is not good. No matter how strong one is individually, fighting alone can’t last forever. It would give me peace of mind if you take more people,” he said.

Qi Yue couldn’t refuse and had to agree, but they argued for a long while about the number of people to take.

After mutual compromise, it was finally settled that Qi Yue would take fifteen people with her.

As for the departure time, Qi Yue decided on three days later, but Zhao Xiyan said he needed to prepare properly, and it would take at least five days before they could set off.

Seeing how reluctant he was, Qi Yue also found it amusing.

“Zhao Xiyan, don’t get confused. We are going to rescue your father and mother from danger now. How come you seem so indifferent?” she said.

Zhao Xiyan raised an eyebrow.

“Aren’t they Yueyue’s father and mother as well?” he replied.

Qi Yue, seeing him bringing up the topic of their pledged love again, quickly steered the conversation away.

“Alright, alright, let’s do as you say. I just need to work out the best route to take,” she said.

Her intention was to reach the Capital City of Beiyuan Kingdom swiftly and safely, rescue Zhao Yongzhe and the others, then find a secure place to settle them for the time being.

After all, their current situation was quite awkward.

As people of Beiyuan, they occupied Donggao’s Yecheng. It seemed like betrayal but without any offense against Beiyuan.

In such circumstances, it was a problem whether Zhao Yongzhe was willing to go with her or not.

Although Zhao Xiyan said his family would not question his decisions, Qi Yue still felt it was hard to say.

The Zhao Family had served for three generations as loyal subjects of Beiyuan, with a history of serving the kingdom and emperor. Zhao Yongzhe, as an old Duke, probably had never considered that Zhao Xiyan would do such a thing.

In this situation, she wasn’t entirely sure Zhao Yongzhe would be willing to go to Yecheng.

They could only adapt as things unfolded, and fortunately, Rishengchang had a presence in all the major counties of Beiyuan, with numerous personnel, making it easy to find a safe place to stay.

Zhao Xiyan also agreed with her view and let her handle the arrangements.

That day, while Qi Yue was arranging for the people to accompany them, Zhao Chong came to report that the latest news had come from Longnan.

She rushed to the study, and upon entering, she saw Zhao Xiyan looking at a piece of paper with a cold expression. Beneath that piece of paper was another that looked like a proclamation.

Qi Yue picked it up to look and was taken aback.

The piece of paper had intelligence they had gathered, and the proclamation was something they had stripped off the walls of the Longnan County Government.

Just as Zhao Xiyan had anticipated, Hu Keqing indeed mustered a hundred thousand troops and sealed off the borders to all the regions of Donggao that led to Longnan.

On the proclamation, Hu Keqing unilaterally declared Zhao Xiyan and Qi Yue to be rebels who must be hunted down and executed.

Being labeled as rebels didn’t sit well with anyone.

Qi Yue was just wondering what to say to lighten the mood when Zhao Xiyan stepped forward to comfort her.

“Yueyue, rest assured that after the battle of Yecheng, the Donggao Imperial Court won’t dare to make a move for a while. This is the perfect time to take care of Hu Keqing,” he consoled her.

“Yes, but we can’t be the ones to initiate an attack. Once we use troops against Longnan, that would just…” she mused.
