Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 232: Chapter 232 “Miss, long time no see.

That afternoon, as the Princely Heir Song Qiyuan rode his tall horse through the crowded streets, he caught sight of Qi Yue.

At that moment, she was giving silver to a beggar by the street, her expression extremely tender.

The sight stirred something in the heart of Song Qiyuan, who already had certain intentions, and his emotions fluctuated deeply.

He immediately dismounted and followed her, just in time to hear the beggar thanking her profusely.

“Thank you, Miss Qi, thank you.”

Miss Qi?

Song Qiyuan sized Qi Yue up and down, noting her Donggao women’s attire, his brow slightly furrowed.

He had never heard of a family with the surname Qi in Donggao.

But in Beiyuan…

At that moment, Qi Yue also felt someone’s gaze upon her and turned around, a trace of surprise in her eyes.

Isn’t this the man from the Donggao Imperial Palace with that wabi-sabi aesthetic?

Has he actually followed her here?

Perhaps due to the daylight, the man seemed less stunning than he had at night, possessing a more mundane, earthly aura.

With bright eyes and a distinguished nose, he may not have been as handsome as Zhao Xiyan, but his unique, desolate, and pure aura was deeply attractive.

“Miss, long time no see.”

The man’s voice, like his appearance, carried a carefree and leisurely charm, indeed a pleasant surprise.

Qi Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Have we met? I don’t recall.”

The man seemed taken aback for a moment, but quickly smiled with a tilted lip.

“It is my honor to meet you for the first time. May I ask for your name, Miss? I am Song Qiyuan.”

“Qi Yue.”

Seeing Song Qiyuan nod as if confirming something, Qi Yue knew that he had just heard the fleeing Beiyuan man addressing her as Miss Qi and couldn’t help but become more guarded.

At this moment, a soldier clad in armor approached and bowed to Song Qiyuan.

“Princely Heir Qiyuan, the Prince has summoned you back, there are matters to discuss!”

Upon hearing the title Princely Heir Qiyuan, a memory surged in Qi Yue’s mind.

She had once heard Chu Yuntian, the man she considered her foster father, mention this beautiful man from Donggao when discussing the state of affairs in Donggao.

According to Chu Yuntian, Song Qiyuan was the kind of person who had a glorious childhood but turned out rather ordinary as he grew up.

Back when Zhao Xiyan’s leg was still injured, Chu Yuntian had compared the two, saying one indulged in his own decline, while the other was envied by the heavens.

But now, Zhao Xiyan had already stood up, and Song Qiyuan—

Qi Yue felt that he wasn’t the type to wallow in decline, but rather seemed to see through everything.

Because their conversation was interrupted, the two said their goodbyes.

Song Qiyuan inquired about where she lived, but Qi Yue brushed him off with a “we’ll meet if fate allows” and changed the subject.

Although she didn’t dislike the Princely Heir Qiyuan, that didn’t mean she was willing to let him know more about her.

She needed to hurry back to the teahouse.

That morning, she had entrusted Zhong Dahe with the task of gathering information about Qing Nanzun, and by now, there should be some news.

From the west to the east of the city, Qi Yue made two rounds to shake off anyone following her.

Upon entering the teahouse, Zhong Dahe had also just arrived.

Seeing Qi Yue, he immediately signaled with his eyes and went ahead to a vacant private room to wait for her.

This was mainly for the safety of both of them.

After all, Zhong Dahe’s Beiyuan identity and his current circumstances were quite conspicuous, and his current actions would lead to certain death if discovered.

Soon after, Qi Yue entered the room as well, and Zhong Dahe eagerly shared the information he had gathered.

Learning that the Emperor of Donggao had issued an execution order on Qing Nanzun, who was due to arrive in Yanjing in a day or two, Qi Yue smiled with satisfaction.

This time, Qing Nanzun should be dead, right?

Being born into the royal family and spending your whole life climbing up, only to be executed by the royal family in the end—what would that taste like?@@novelbin@@

Sure enough to make someone die of anger, even if it doesn’t kill them outright, huh!

Ha ha ha!

“Miss Qi, do I need to do anything for this rescue mission?”

“No, after the rescue is successful, I shall leave immediately. The task of escorting the civilians will be up to you.”

As she spoke, Qi Yue took out two thousand taels of silver.

“Use this silver to settle them, and moreover, life is hard for the common folk these days. Beiyuan’s Governor rules wisely. If anyone is willing, let them relocate and settle in Longnan.”

“Alright, I’ve noted it down.”

Zhong Dahe solemnly agreed.

The two discussed some more specific trivial matters before going their separate ways.

Qi Yue returned to the inn to make the final preparations for the upcoming rescue mission.

She had scoured the Space Mall for quite a few good items during this time.

Among them was an item called a targeted laser device—small enough to be hidden in a sleeve and easily used, it could precisely hit the target.

The seller said that the device made no sound, and was practically invisible during the daytime.

The most remarkable thing was that wounds weren’t visible, meaning if someone was hurt with this thing, you couldn’t even tell how they died!

She planned to give Qing Nanzun a lesson if he entered the city during the day, using this device.

At that time, she would hide on the upper floor at the city gate entrance, and as soon as the procession arrived, she would start eliminating them from front to back.

If it were night, that would be unfortunate.

Smoke bombs, Small Fragrant Melons… don’t blame her for being generous then.

One afternoon, a day later, Qing Nanzun and his entourage were belatedly arriving from the south gate into the city. Qi Yue, having waited for a long time, struck and killed four men in front of and behind Qu Wei as soon as she made a move.

The scene became instantly chaotic.

Qu Wei was sharp enough to know that Qi Yue was nearby, and immediately fled.

Through the telescope, everything appeared clear as if it were right in front of her.

Although the two had not discussed face to face, they had an amazing tacit understanding.

As Qu Wei ran ahead, Qi Yue followed with the targeted laser device in hand, eliminating each enemy that tried to pursue him.

This sudden turn of events baffled the Donggao soldiers as well.

Only when they saw Qing Nanzun attempting to flee did they hurriedly step forward to capture him.

Qi Yue, noticing that they were capturing rather than killing Qing Nanzun, gave it a little thought and understood the reason.

It was normal for the Donggao side to change their mind, after all, Qing Nanzun was the only clue to capturing the criminal; only a fool would kill without thought.

In the rush, she threw a Small Fragrant Melon toward Qing Nanzun; a loud boom resounded and Qing Nanzun fell to the ground. Only then did Qi Yue feel reassured enough to descend from the building, grab Qu Wei, and dash toward the safe house arranged earlier.

She had intended to leave the city at the first opportunity, but unexpectedly, the Donggao side had closed the city gates right after Qing Nanzun entered. Luckily, she had made prior arrangements.

After streaking past two streets, they finally blended into the bustling marketplace.

After several more twists and turns, they arrived at a residence.

This house was serendipitously discovered by Qi Yue, quietly nested within the commotion, and it was unclaimed.

They could pretend to be distant relatives of the homeowner and stay a few days, waiting for a chance to leave.

Of course, all this was prepared for Qu Wei. If it was just her, she wouldn’t need any of this, since she had her space.

After being rescued, it took Qu Wei quite some time to come to his senses, and after catching his breath for a good while, he managed to utter a word.

“Water, water…”

Qi Yue quickly took out a water flask from her bosom and handed it over. Qu Wei guzzled it down, and his pale face regained some color.

“…Sister, thank you for rescuing me.”

As he said this, he handed the water flask back to Qi Yue, squeezing a ingratiating smile onto his haggard face.

“Can you give me another flask? I haven’t had water in three days…”
