Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Shocked
 

Qi Yue walked into the space, and the first thing she did was to cook corn for the three White Rhinos.

After watching the three of them devour the corn deliciously, Qi Yue, smiling, entered the laboratory.

The assistant was busy at the experiment table. Seeing her push the door open, the assistant’s hands did not stop moving, but an arm stretched out from the back, making a funny face to greet her.

“Hi, good day, master.”

“Don’t fool around with me, how is the research progressing?”

The assistant’s mechanical face made a helpless expression, and its two mechanical arms behind spread out in a waving gesture.

“Master, with these consecutive commands you’ve issued, which result should I deliver first?”

“Which one can you present?”

The assistant wrinkled its mechanical brows and thought for a while before saying, “As of now, this assistant has found a method to extract the super nerves of the Immortal Bug.”

Saying this, its mechanical arms behind spread out in a classic gesture commonly used by westerners.

“However, I am still experimenting.”

It gestured to Qi Yue to look at the Immortal Bug in its hands in front of her. “Respected master, you must also be aware that this advanced technology always has a process of maturation…”

“Just say outright that you can’t do it,” interrupted Qi Yue, looking at the Immortal Bug held by the assistant and curling her lips.

“Your method isn’t right; I’ll tell you later how it should be done. From now on, I want you to focus on researching the poisoned blood I gave you, using your analysis advantage to identify the various lethal toxins that could form when the blood enters the air, water supplies, food, or animals,” Qi Yue commanded.

The assistant stopped its work in surprise, its thoughts seeming slow.

“You said what I’m doing is wrong, do you have a method to extract the super nerves of the Immortal Bug?”

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

“You can watch when I experiment later.”

The assistant once again made a resigned gesture.

“So you’re also not sure if it will work, are you?”

“If I work on it, it will definitely work, but your task definitely won’t, otherwise you would have succeeded by now, wouldn’t you?”

The assistant finally shut its mouth, rotating its eyes for quite some time before asking, “Master, can you tell me the thought process behind your method?”

“Stimulation Technique.”

The assistant widened its eyes, speechless for a while.

Eventually, it quickly tidied up the Immortal Bug in its hand and decisively brought out the vial of poisoned blood.

This was something Qi Yue intentionally collected before the death of Qing Nanzun, instructing the assistant to analyze it, but the rascal had been obsessed with the super nerves of the Immortal Bug and had yet to even start.

Now that the affairs in Yecheng had settled, it was time to address the hidden danger of the poisoned people in Longnan County Government.

“Dear master, I will start the analysis immediately, rest assured; you will have the results soon.”

Qi Yue nodded.

“After the analysis, you also need to discover antidotes for all the lethal toxins.”

“Yes, master.”

The assistant stretched out an arm, making an OK gesture.

Qi Yue did not say more and returned to her study to manage the antiques in her Space Mall.

Glancing at her account balance, which had unknowingly increased by several zeros, and then at her stock of goods, which had dwindled to a few, Qi Yue casually picked a few gold-inlaid bowls studded with red and green gems to upload to her shop, then clicked into the mall to order a hundred thousand bags of rice, various large water containers, and several water purification devices.

Somehow, she kept thinking about the words Qing Nanzun said before his death.

She felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

But the messenger to Longnan had already made two round trips, and Chu Yunfei always reported that aside from the Hu Family causing trouble, everything else was normal.

The more this was the case, the more anxious Qi Yue felt.

Because no abnormalities meant no leads, no way to prepare; and if something did happen, it wouldn’t be a small matter.

While pondering, she heard footsteps gradually approaching outside, pausing at the door.

Qi Yue did not rise, but her lips already curved into a smile.

Zhao Xiyan was here.

Indeed, just as she left the space, a crystal-clear voice like pearls scattering on jade rang out from outside the door.

“Yueyue, did I just hear the maid say you had a good sleep?”

Qi Yue quickly responded and went to open the door.

Zhao Xiyan saw her and looked her up and down.

“The maid mentioned you don’t want to eat. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

“…” Qi Yue, remembering the yogurt she had just drunk in the Space Mall and the sweet corn she had eaten, almost burped and quickly made an excuse.

“…I just want to eat later.”

“Then let’s go now, I had someone prepare the medicinal meal you used to love…” Zhao Xiyan said as he naturally reached out to take her hand.

Qi Yue let him hold it, but her mind involuntarily recalled past events.

In fact, she never loved the medicinal meals, they tasted strange if not well-prepared, it was all to nourish his body…

Because she wanted to coax him to eat more, she would eat with him.

Probably back then, Zhao Xiyan was also accommodating her.

Thinking of this, Qi Yue scratched his palm twice and giggled, “Now I don’t really like that anymore.”

Zhao Xiyan raised an eyebrow, “So, you were just coaxing me to eat it before?”

Qi Yue laughed, “Yes, it was all for you.”

Upon hearing this, a bigger smile spread across Zhao Xiyan’s face.

“Now that I’ve recovered, if I don’t want to eat, I won’t. I’ve also had someone make bamboo shoots in oil and spicy chicken. How does that sound?”

At these words, Qi Yue’s mouth immediately watered, and she pulled Zhao Xiyan along as they walked.

“Good, let’s hurry, I’m hungry.”

Hand in hand, they talked as they headed toward the dining hall.

“Fiancé, I forgot to ask you, how is the Lou Family doing? Did anyone come?”

“Someone did come, asking you to treat an illness, but I had them sent away.”

“Why?”

“I was worried you’d get tired.”

Qi Yue snorted and laughed, “How would I get tired, just tell me the truth.”

Zhao Xiyan hooked his lips, his face bearing an expression that said I knew I couldn’t hide it from you.

“It’s because Lou Chuhe wasn’t being honest, telling many lies, he’s very cunning.”

“Ah, that doesn’t seem likely,” Qi Yue said in surprise and quickly asked what happened.

It turned out that the Lou Zhifang mentioned by Lou Chuhe was his second son; his eldest son had actually already died, killed by Song Chengye’s hands.

During last year’s battle between Donggao and Beiyuan, Lou Chuhe’s eldest son was indeed released by Zhao Xiyan, but unexpectedly, upon returning to Donggao, he was detained by his own people, accused of colluding with the enemy; otherwise, how could he have entered Beiyuan camp and still been sent back.

With his son about to be beheaded, Lou Chuhe naturally did everything to save him.

Unexpectedly, after half the family’s fortune was spent, just when there was hope, King Ye, Song Chengye, suddenly came to Yecheng for a vacation and was almost killed by an assassination attempt by unknown assailants on his way there.

In panic, Song Chengye ordered an investigation, and somehow it led to locals of Yecheng, revealing it was the doing of deserters from the military.

Thus, Song Chengye, enraged, took his anger out on the Donggao Army stationed in Yecheng.

Just as Lou Chuhe’s eldest son was being held, the guards, without discerning right from wrong, directly sent him to Song Chengye as a deserter.

The careless officials wanted to close the case quickly, and Song Chengye, focused solely on revenge and flaunting his power, didn’t even ask and had the man executed immediately.

The Lou Family already held a deep grudge against the Donggao Imperial Court, and this act of filicide only intensified their hatred. With the younger son almost age 20 and nearing death, Lou Chuhe became obsessed with revenge but lacked the means to carry it out.

Finally, when Zhao Xiyan took control of Yecheng, Lou Chuhe saw a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, after learning of Song Qiyun’s murder, he felt his opportunity had finally come, certain that a battle between Song Chengye and Zhao Xiyan was inevitable.

However, he ultimately failed to see the bigger picture, thinking Zhao Xiyan, with just 20,000 men, surely couldn’t hold Yecheng and preferring to risk everything for revenge than to watch his enemies live freely, thus concocted this false surrender plan.

First, to gain Zhao Xiyan’s support, making the false surrender seem more convincing and allowing proximity to Song Chengye.

Second, only through this could he get close enough to Song Chengye to personally exact his revenge.

Reportedly, to thrust the dagger into Song Chengye’s belly, the family of three even trained for it.

They caught a strong old goat, each holding it as they trained, the same as the method they intended to use on Song Chengye.

Hearing this, Qi Yue couldn’t help but be stunned for a long while.
