Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 361 - : The Wheel of Karma Turns!

Chapter 361: Chapter 361: The Wheel of Karma Turns!

Zhao Chong remained earnest.

“My Lord Marquis and Lady have already held their wedding in Yecheng, only the wedding night remains.”

“….” Huang Zai’an’s beard twitched in astonishment, and quickly his eyes bulged.

“So you mean to say, your master and my disciple are spending their wedding night?”

He opened his mouth, speechless, pointing to the shouts outside, anger gradually surfacing on his face.

“…Lives are at stake here, and they are having their wedding night?”

Looking at Zhao Chong, Zhao Tai had a look of indifference, as if it was none of his concern, which nearly made Huang Zai’an spit blood.

“You, you….”

With trembling hands and quivering whiskers, he staggered away.

He must hurry to the Hu Residence.

His beloved disciple in the bridal chamber had mentioned needing to perform a check early in the morning to see if there were any changes in the symptoms of rigidity.

Although the common people were all talking nonsense, he believed that Qi Yue would not neglect these people.

Huang Zai’an didn’t know that as soon as he left, the pharmacy would be in big trouble.

When the people who came for treatment saw that Huang Zai’an was gone and the highly regarded Divine Doctor Qi Yue was nowhere to be seen, they all became irritable.

“Where is the Divine Doctor, call the Divine Doctor out, we want the Divine Doctor!”

“Divine Doctor, hand over the antidote!”

“Divine Doctor Qi, save us!”

“…..”

Fearful citizens crowded into the pharmacy and, seeing a few young medicine apprentices feeding the rigid patients, grabbed the medicine and drank it themselves.

This scene further stimulated the already agitated people.

In the face of death, most of them had forgotten Qi Yue’s past kindness, her great benevolence, and they actually burst into the pharmacy, beginning to snatch the medicine.

Violence gave rise to violence, and by the time the Governor’s Office troops arrived, the pharmacy had been smashed beyond recognition.

At the same time, in the council hall of the Longnan County Government Office, the hall was filled with officials gathered for discussion.

Chu Yuntian sat in the central seat of honor, with Feng Liang beside him, expressionless.

Below him were various military officers and officials of the Longnan County Government.

Everyone was silent as if they had collectively become mute.

“Speak up, why are you all silent now?”

Chu Yuntian suddenly asked, and the officials only looked up at Feng Liang for a moment before lowering their heads again.

“Feng Liang, you tell me, why haven’t you organized the Governor’s Office to quarantine the people, instead spreading rumors and causing trouble everywhere?”

Feng Liang, who was questioned, remained calm, showing no signs of anxiety.

He slowly stepped forward and performed a courtesy to Chu Yuntian at the higher seat.

“Sir, I have done all this for your consideration! You may not be aware, but already a small portion of the citizens of Longnan County have contracted this disease. This morning, symptoms of full body rigidity have appeared, and no one knows what will follow. Under these circumstances, we must give the people an explanation!”

Chu Yuntian’s eyes widened, and his raised hand trembled.

“You, you… so you have been deceitful, agreeing to deal with everything personally on the surface while doing such things behind my back. Do you realize that Qi Yue is trying to develop an antidote, and I have promised Zhao Xiyan to fully cooperate!”

“Of course I know,” Feng Liang replied with a faint smile on his emotionless face. “But what does that have to do with us? From the beginning, it was Miss Qi who provoked Qing Nanzun and then got into conflict with the Hu Family, which caused all this trouble.”

At these words, Feng Liang’s face slowly grew colder.

“Sir, you surely haven’t forgotten the words Huang Zai’an said when he came, have you? I remember them clearly. If it wasn’t for Miss Qi, General Hu and his son would not have died, and such things would not have happened in Longnan County Government. All of this was caused by Miss Qi, so what’s wrong with making her responsible?”

The officials below, who were already in cahoots with Feng Liang, now all echoed in agreement.

“Sir, what Feng Liang said is absolutely right. In the current situation, we must give the people an explanation.”

“Yes, Sir, if we didn’t do this, those people would probably have surrounded the Governor’s Office and Governor’s Residence by now!”

“My lord, Miss Qi Yue has completely changed since her return; she doesn’t even take you, her adoptive father, seriously. Why should you bother with her?”

“My lord, you are the Governor of Imperial Court; now that Miss Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan have stooped to join forces, how can you cooperate with him?”

“…”

The discussions among the officials gradually grew louder, eventually turning into blatant questioning.

Chu Yuntian hadn’t expected this.

Just when Hu Chengxuan died, everyone gathered together, joyfully discussing how to take over the entire military and political power of the Longnan County Government.

In just a few days, had everything changed to this?

His wrinkled gaze shifted to Feng Liang, his expression growing increasingly complex.

“Feng Liang, it’s you. Are you so eager to replace me?”

Feng Liang shook his head indifferently, saying with an air of pride, “My lord should speak cautiously; it’s not about replacing anyone. You are an official of the Imperial Court, and so am I. Whomever is loyal to the Imperial Court is the rightful master of the Longnan County Government!”

Chu Yuntian understood.

He suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

This feeling was remarkably similar to the scene when he conspired with Hu Chengxuan to kill Qi Yunzhang and take over the Longnan County Government.

Back then, it was much more perilous than now.

At that time, Qi Yunzhang was at the height of his power, with a fearsome reputation; seizing power from him was no easy task.

Unlike now, where he stood, aged and declining.

Oh, but there was a difference.

As Qi Yunzhang’s only sworn brother, he, too, had to make a firm decision to go through with that plan.

No, were it not for that old fox Lin Yuan detaining his leader in the Capital City, he wouldn’t have made such a decision!

Not like Feng Liang today, who just quietly rallied everyone under me!

He sighed deeply, looking at Feng Liang in front of him, still feeling a bit unreconciled.

This man was his most loyal subordinate!

A scion of a noble family, with powerful connections in the Capital City, he had always been obedient, diligently executing all his orders.

How could it suddenly come to this?

Truly, what goes around comes around!

An extremely complex emotion surged chaotically in his chest, causing him to cough violently.

“Cough…cough…”

He suddenly remembered that over the past two years, with Qi Yue’s medicine, his chronic illness had never recurred.

But now….

Feng Liang stepped forward with a forced smile, helping him up.

“My lord, your health is not good; you should return to the residence to recover. Leave everything here to me!”

Chu Yuntian knew the situation was beyond salvation, but still, he struggled to ask one more question.

“Do you know, this could lead to even more of the people getting infected! Perhaps everyone will die!”

Feng Liang smiled slightly.

“My lord truly loves his people like his children, still caring for the common folk even at this time. You can rest assured, I have a plan in place for this matter that won’t disappoint you!”

He wanted to ask what the plan was, but knowing Feng Liang had already sidelined him, he realized he would not be told everything, so he closed his mouth.

Upon returning to the Governor’s Office, he collapsed right away.

Lady Chu, unaware of the situation, wanted to call for Qi Yue to treat him, but he no longer had the strength to stop her.

He thought, after all, that child probably wouldn’t come anyway.
