Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 448: Chapter 449: “Husband, can you sort out the important matters first? Chapter 448: Chapter 449: “Husband, can you sort out the important matters first? The second floor was just as before, and Huangfu Nan was seated in the same manner as well.

Upon seeing him arrive, his demeanor and actions were entirely the same as last time.

Zhao Xiyan placed several bottles of sugar beans in front of him, and after making some small talk to inquire about his well-being, he still couldn’t detect any flaws.

He began to doubt whether Huangfu Nan had always been like this.

Could it be that his strict teachings from years past were only to see his disciple succeed and now, seeing Zhao Xiyan’s mastery of martial arts and his success in life, he was satisfied?

Returning to Baoyue Pavilion without having learned anything, Zhao Xiyan still felt uneasy, sensing that something unusual was afoot.

Qi Yue had been waiting for him for a long time, and she too was surprised to learn that the person on the second floor of the Bamboo Garden was Huangfu Nan.

“Who would have thought that in the home of Liu Zhinan, a distinguished official of the Imperial Court, there would be someone from the Huangfu Family? If the royal family of Nanyue were to learn of this, the members of the Liu Family would probably lose their heads within minutes!”

Zhao Xiyan hummed softly, his face showing a contemplative expression.

“Considering that the Liu Family was exiled and had their home ransacked, yet managed to return to their peak within decades, there must have been a reason behind it.”

Qi Yue found Zhao Xiyan’s mood to be a bit off but still followed his train of thought, “Husband, are you saying that the Liu Family’s standing today is because of Huangfu Nan?”

Zhao Xiyan fell silent, his expression changing several times.

“Given that person’s abilities, the difference between achieving greatness and causing ruin is but a single thought… It’s merely a matter of choosing and being chosen.”

“…Husband, you’re acting strange.” Qi Yue was puzzled, “Why do you suddenly have these reflections? Did your master ask you to do something?”

Zhao Xiyan shook his head.

“If only I knew exactly what he wants, it would be better.”

He paused, then looked up seriously at Qi Yue.

“Yueyue, my master is a bit odd, but I can’t explain it right now, I hope I’m just overthinking.”

“Don’t worry, I’m very good at making the old man happy.” Qi Yue patted her chest, “If I ever run into him, no matter how strange his temperament, I’ll keep him amused.”

Zhao Xiyan suddenly smiled.

“My Yueyue is of course great…”

As his words fell, he suddenly leaned in, “…Did you rest well last night to charm me first?”

The cool fragrance mixed with the warmth of their breath instantly heated Qi Yue’s cheeks, and even her body went limp.

Her eyes widened as she watched Zhao Xiyan’s lips draw nearer, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

“Hmm… an old saying goes, it’s not good to talk about lust in broad daylight, a gentleman with virtue…”

“In front of Yueyue, I have no virtue…”

“Ah, you are shameless, ruffian…”

“Would Yueyue listen obediently if I were virtuous? Hmm…”

“I certainly would not… Hmm…”

“…”

The arhat bed creaked under the pressure of the two, and the curtains fell, hiding the unfolding passion.

Just as things were getting heated, there suddenly came a “knock, knock” at the door.

Zhao Xiyan had always been domineering in this matter; aside from the interruption on their wedding night when they were toasting, nothing and no one had ever made him stop his relentless passion.

“…Master, the Marquis…”

The knocking at the door continued, now accompanied by a shouting voice.

“Master, Marquis, there’s an urgent report!”

Upon hearing of an urgent report, Qi Yue stopped listening and quickly grabbed Zhao Xiyan’s hands that were about to strip clothing.

“Husband, can you take care of the important business first?”

Zhao Xiyan lowered his gaze, looking at a certain area below, “It is indeed very urgent. Should we hurry?”

“You…”

Qi Yue tugged at the corner of her lips, really wanting to give Zhao Xiyan a couple of slaps on the forehead to clear out the nonsense in his head.

“…Master, Marquis, an urgent report…”

The hurried knocking came again.

Qi Yue glared at Zhao Xiyan and stretched out her hand to put on the robe he had taken off.

“Hurry and get dressed, it doesn’t sound like a small matter, or they wouldn’t be this anxious…”

As she spoke, she had already gotten out of bed to open the door.

Zhao Xiyan, who was left on the bed, gnashed his back teeth with a crunch, and the fury in his eyes seemed to burst through several walls onto Qingzhu, who was knocking at the door.

“Master, this is the latest urgent report, the subordinates felt it necessary for the Master and the Marquis to see it immediately…”

Qingzhu, who was in the midst of explaining, suddenly felt waves of heat and cold throughout his body, and couldn’t help but wipe his forehead.

He didn’t think he’d done anything life-threatening, so why did he feel so uncomfortable?

It wasn’t until he saw Zhao Xiyan’s face, colder than ice, and his eyes, red with rage, that he belatedly regretted it.

Being a guard is tough!

But he just couldn’t understand.

Not being able to knock on the door at night is one thing, but what’s wrong with knocking in the morning?!

“You’d better have something important!”

Zhao Xiyan glared at him for a few moments and through clenched teeth dropped a line, “Bang,” as he slammed the door shut!

Qingzhu touched his nose.

For a moment, he really wished that the Nanyue Army would just attack the Longnan County Government.

Inside the room, Qi Yue was quickly going through several urgent reports and handing them to Zhao Xiyan.

“Husband, it seems the disturbance in Nanling is out of the ordinary; it’s time for you to go back.”

Zhao Xiyan furrowed his brows, his gaze moving back and forth over the several urgent reports.

“This Yuan Ji is quite capable, to be still able to persuade Han Linghe to mobilize troops in Nanling even under these circumstances?”

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes and picked out one of the urgent reports, spreading it in front of Zhao Xiyan.

“Husband, look at this one; it seems a bit unusual.”

“The water in Nanling has a strange quality that hasn’t changed in hundreds of years, but in the past few months, the water level has been continuously dropping, which is really odd…” Zhao Xiyan paused, “Are you suggesting that this might be related to the movements of the Nanyue Army, Yueyue?”

“There’s no definitive evidence, so it’s hard to say.” Qi Yue pondered for a moment, “As the saying goes, strange occurrences tend to be related, and this might be interconnected indeed!”

Zhao Xiyan nodded, “What Yueyue said makes sense; I will send a message immediately and have someone investigate it.”

“This matter is not easy; we need to find two people who are well-versed in water and also loyal.”

“Alright, as you wish.” Zhao Xiyan complied, calling Qingzhu in to send out the letter.

Then, he wrote several secret letters and had the Black Feather Guard deliver them separately to Zhang Yuan in Nanling and Song Gensheng in Northern Ridge.

Once everything was arranged, he looked up but couldn’t see Qi Yue.

“Yueyue…”

After turning around in the room and not finding her, Zhao Xiyan felt full of anger!

How could she always disappear like this, what is going on?!

Was he not going to finish what they had previously not had the chance to do?!

Feeling frustrated, there was a disturbance in the air, and Qi Yue appeared holding two boxes.

“Husband, everything is packed; when do you plan to depart? It might be good to have Qingzhu accompany you this time…”

Zhao Xiyan, already upset at the prospect of not being able to stay long, became even more displeased upon hearing Qi Yue urging him to leave and even having prepared his luggage; the anger surged within him.

He stepped forward, snatched the boxes from Qi Yue’s arms, tossed them aside, and without regard, clutched her delicate little hands tightly in his, cradling them to his chest.

“I don’t want to leave, Yueyue.”
