Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 283: Chapter 283 “Do You Still Like It?
 

Zhao Xiyan needed to incorporate Song Chengye’s 300,000 troops of various sizes and shapes under his command, which stumped the four of them.

Unable to come up with any strategy, they all turned to Qi Yue for help.

At that moment, Qi Yue was tucked away in her space, inventorying the newly arrived weapons.

The quality of this batch was first-rate, and their materials were so peculiar, it was impossible to discern what they were made of.

Now as the chief steward, she was in charge of all the storehouses in the house and the military camp, and when the time came, she could simply place these items into storage and have someone tally them up.

After all, given Zhao Xiyan’s character, who never asked too many questions, if he didn’t ask, who else would dare to be so inquisitive?

Qi Yue was busy at work when she suddenly heard the little maid gently asking at the door.

“My lady, the four generals say they have a matter to request of you.”

After the incident last time when the maid had to search the entire residence to call her for a meal, Qi Yue made sure to pay attention to the outside world whenever she entered her space. She chuckled at the maid’s words.

The girl had still been calling her Miss yesterday, yet today’s title had changed.

What a strange address as ‘My lady’! She and Zhao Xiyan were not even married yet!

However, she was a bit puzzled by what the maid meant by ‘four generals’ coming to her for help.

“Understood, serve tea in the front hall.”

She acknowledged and had already exited the space.

Unlike others, Tall, Short, Fat, and Thin once hid their identities and served as bodyguards in the Qi Family estate, forming a deep bond with her.

Now, they were even more so the fierce generals under Zhao Xiyan’s command; no matter from which angle, she couldn’t afford to treat them lightly.

After tidying up briefly, she headed to the front hall, and from a distance, she heard the four discussing matters within Beiyuan Kingdom.

“What does our lord mean? Are we really going back to Beiyuan?”

“I’m also puzzled. The lord mobilized troops for our lady to Donggao, so why hasn’t he declared his independence by now?”

“I say you two are fools. If our lord really announced it, that would cause a lot of gossip!”

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

“You understand nothing. In this world, only our lady can grasp the lord’s intentions.”

“So you mean to say that our lady also knows why the lord doesn’t want us to bring the Duke and his wife here?”

“Nonsense, such a simple matter—our lady must know. Even I know!”

“You know, then tell us!”

“It’s clearly written there….”

“Shh…”

Someone had caught sight of Qi Yue and quickly cut off the conversation.

All four stood up unanimously, bowed deeply, and greeted her.

“Good day, My lady!”

“Hello. What were you discussing just now? It sounded quite lively; why stop suddenly?”

The four exchanged looks and sheepishly said, “We were just bored and rambling on.”

There wasn’t much entertainment here, and people enjoyed gossiping. Qi Yue didn’t mind and inquired about a few things regarding Capital City in Beiyuan Kingdom.

Upon learning that the Beiyuan Emperor had ostensibly executed Donggao’s envoys but was actually lavishing them with a luxurious residence and fine food, Qi Yue’s brows furrowed as well.

“Seems like this despicable Emperor has other plans.”

The tall one picked up the thread, “I heard that the dog Emperor hasn’t attended court in ages, and it’s the Lin Family calling the shots now.”

Qi Yue slightly narrowed her eyes, “Grand Tutor Lin? … No, Prime Minister Lin now!”

This person was keen on arranging a marriage alliance with her!

Qi Yue’s lips curled slightly.

It looked like she had an excuse to return to the Capital City of Beiyuan Kingdom and, by the way, clean out both Lin Family’s and the dog Emperor’s nests.

“Exactly, Beiyuan has long since borne the Lin name!” the fat one agreed.

“But it seems that our lord is in no rush to settle scores with those of the Lin surname,” the skinny one interjected with suggestive winks, seemingly coaxing Qi Yue to speak her mind.

Qi Yue glanced at him, saying indifferently, “Your lord has his plans, and he isn’t wrong in his judgment. If Prime Minister Lin wishes to survive, he won’t be foolish enough to act against the Duke now.”

“Why is that?”

“Because he is waiting.”

“Waiting for what?”

“Waiting for the outside’s 300,000-strong army to devour your lord in one gulp, or for your lord to devour the outside’s 300,000-strong army instead.”

With this explanation, the others understood.

“So you mean that if our lord wins, Lin would fear the lord and not dare to touch the Duke and his wife?”

“Correct.”

“Indeed, it still has to be the lady of the house, what she said was spot on!”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue’s interest was piqued.

“What did your master say?”

The dwarf hurriedly said, “The master told us to bring the entire army of three hundred thousand under her command! How could we possibly have that ability!”

Qi Yue let out a light chuckle.

“I’m asking you, will someone come to attend the banquet tonight?”

“I heard it’s that wealthy businessman, Lou Chuhe?”

“That’s right. Since your master has said so, she must have made arrangements, what’s the rush? Go back and rest up well, there will be a time for you to exert yourselves.”

Reassured by Qi Yue’s words, the group of tall, short, fat, and thin men all calmed down.

They praised the tea here, and in the end, each person got a bottle of Sugar Pills made with Spiritual Spring Water.

“You can eat this, or you can put it in the tea, and the water will taste good. If you’re on a march, you can also drop it into water.”

Overjoyed beyond words, the group of tall, short, fat, and thin men left chuckling happily.

“It’s the lady of the house who’s looking out for us, after all!”

“The lady of the house is formidable! I knew it was right to come to her! See, we’ve scored again.”

“Indeed, we should come here more often from now on!”

“You want to come more often? Watch the master not skin you…”

“…”

Listening to the group’s giggling fading away, Qi Yue smiled and entered the house.

These Sugar Pills were specially made by Qi Yue, a notch higher in concentration and health benefits compared to the previous ones, essentially a premium version of the Spiritual Spring Water.

They were specifically developed by the little assistant for the soldiers to use.

With these items, it was as if the soldiers were drinking Spiritual Spring Water every day; their physical fitness enhanced, naturally they would win battles.

In the medicinal lab of the space clinic, Qi Yue checked the latest pharmaceutical machine that had arrived, used it herself, and straightaway produced some Sugar Pills, which were quite effective.

She could have left these tasks to the little assistant.

But ever since the little assistant had acquired the Immortal Bug, it had been engrossed in research, spending all day in the lab, either charging or conducting studies, truly an indefatigable machine.

After cooking two large pots of corn and feeding it to the three White Rhinos, Qi Yue left the space.

She estimated that the time was about right, and Zhao Xiyan should be coming to see her.

Sure enough, she had just reached her room when footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.

“Yueyue.”

Qi Yue hurried to the mirror to have a look.

Her cheeks blushed, and her eyes were seductive.

A truly enchanting beauty!

Oddly enough, ever since their relationship had been made clear, whenever she thought of meeting Zhao Xiyan, it was as if a switch in her body had been flipped on, involuntarily causing her face to heat up and heart to thump.

“He’s here.”

She opened the door and met Zhao Xiyan’s gaze as he entered the corridor.

“Yueyue.”

Zhao Xiyan stared at her intently for a long while, not moving an inch as if he were transfixed, which emboldened Qi Yue.

“What are you staring at? Can’t get enough of looking?”

“Looking at you. You’re beautiful.”

“Where am I beautiful?”

“Everywhere is beautiful.”

Qi Yue burst into giggles.

Zhao Xiyan, a man more beautiful than a woman, was praising her beauty.

“Smiling makes you even more beautiful.”

“Zhao Xiyan, you’ve really changed. You’ve become quite the smooth talker.”

“Do you like it?”

“Of course I do…” Qi Yue deliberately drew out her voice, watching Zhao Xiyan look at her with anticipation, before saying, “Of course I like it.”

“Are you trying to scare me, hmm?…”

“No,” Qi Yue dodged Zhao Xiyan’s long arm reaching for her and ran off giggling, “I just wanted to see your reaction…”

Before she finished her sentence, she was firmly caught.

Enveloped in his cold fragrance, her lips were firmly kissed.

“Do you still like it?”
