Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: In this vast world, there is nowhere for her to belong!

Qi Yue's lips curved slightly.

“From the sound of it, does the Crown Prince Qingshan wish me not to be in good spirits?”

Song Qiyun pressed his lips together and shook his head.

“It's just that Miss Qi seems a bit different from before.”

Qi Yue let out a light laugh.

“Being expelled by my homeland, forced into a marriage alliance, any woman's state of mind would change under such circumstances, not to mention, living in Yanjing for a while, I find it quite amusing, a lot of excitement to watch.”

Song Qiyun felt that her mention of excitement seemed pointed, but he couldn't articulate it clearly and didn't know how to respond for a while.

After concentrating for a moment, he remembered his purpose for coming.

“Miss Qi, last night, something unpleasant happened at the Yewang Prefecture and the Fox King Residence, everyone was poisoned and passed out. This Crown Prince would like to ask for your help to see how the perpetrator managed to do this?”

“Poisoned and passed out?” Qi Yue feigned surprise, “What were the perpetrator's intentions? Murder and arson?”

His words were unrestrained, and Song Qiyun couldn't help but grimace upon hearing them.

“Fortunately not, it was just like the incident in the Imperial City, everything was taken.”

“Ah, taken everything?” Qi Yue looked perplexed, as if she didn't quite understand what he meant by everything being taken.

“Yes, gone, nothing left at all.” Song Qiyun fixed his gaze determinedly on her, as if trying to discern something from her expression.

Qi Yue seemed to remember something, and exaggeratedly said, “The 'nothing left at all' I am thinking of? Are you saying your Yewang Prefecture is now completely empty?”

Song Qiyun said uncomfortably, “That is precisely why this Crown Prince has requested Miss Qi's assistance. As long as we find the real mastermind behind the scenes, the stolen items can definitely be recovered.”

Qi Yue's lips twitched slightly.

The real mastermind is right before you, come and ask for your things!

Sorry, but those items have ended up in the antique shop of the Space Mall.

“If that's the case, then let us be on our way, I plan to go shopping after this is settled.”

Thus, the two set off in separate carriages, leaving Plum Blossom Villa and heading directly to the Yewang Prefecture.

Having visited the night before, Qi Yue, of course, knew the situation and now merely pretended to look around.

It wasn't long until the Fox King Song Yuanzhao also came, wishing for Qi Yue to take a look.

“Miss Qi, it's the same at my residence, it's really too strange, everyone was overcome by sleep.”

It would be a bit hard to explain not going to the Fox King Residence after seeing the Yewang Prefecture, so Qi Yue went to take a look.

However, Song Qingshan did say a few words differently.

“At the time, this Crown Prince was about to study when I suddenly heard a noise outside, so I went to check it out, only to discover nothing amiss. Thus, I returned to my room and shut the door; no sooner had I sat down at the desk than I felt that something was off, and then I heard nothing at all.”

Qi Yue understood.

Song Qingshan was a soldier and more alert than most; if someone had carelessly blown the anesthetic into the room, it would have surely alerted Song Qingshan and not achieved the desired effect.

The one administering the drug must have known this and thus used a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain: they drew him out first before blowing in the anesthetic.

After checking and seeing nothing amiss, Song Qingshan's entire guard would have been lowered, and closing the door upon re-entering would have caused him to inhale an even greater amount of the anesthetic, leading to his immediate fainting after sitting down.

One must say, the person behind this act was quite formidable!

But why did they do this in the first place?

It surely wasn't just to facilitate her moving the items!

At that time, she had seen clearly, and there really was no one else present!

Qi Yue shook her head in confusion.

At this moment, Song Qiyun, who had been following beside her, suddenly spoke up.

“Did Miss Qi remember something?”

“No, I am just a bit puzzled.”

“Puzzled about what?”

“With the perpetrator's skills, it seems they could easily achieve their goal without doing this, why go through such unnecessary trouble?”

Everyone present found this to be sensible and fell into deep thought.

But the answer in Qi Yue's mind became clearer and clearer.

That person–the one who drugged everyone in both residences, yet didn't take a single thing–was paving the way for her!

The thought that someone was secretly watching her, knowing what she intended to do, knowing her secret, made Qi Yue shiver.

It was terrifying!

A misstep, and she had exposed herself!

Who could it be?

Qi Yue couldn't help but look around.

Why did she feel like someone was watching her?

“Miss Qi, are you alright?” Song Chongzhen, who followed by her side, asked with concern.

Qi Yue immediately snapped back to reality.

“I'm fine. It's just that this person is too skilled, and their thoughts are extremely deep. They haven't left a single trace.”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Song Qiyun and Song Yuanzhao.

“Crown Prince Qiyun, Prince Fox, I can't help with this matter. I can't even figure out how the other party did it. You should seek someone more capable.”

Without waiting for Song Qiyun to say anything else, Qi Yue immediately turned and left.

Truly, at this moment that feeling was even stronger.

–Someone was watching her from not far away!

Just as she left the Fox King Residence's main gate, suddenly someone chased after her, calling out to her.

“Miss Qi, Miss Qi! Wait a moment!”

Qi Yue turned around reluctantly, only to see Song Qingshan running over with a flushed face.

“Do you need something, Crown Prince Qingshan?”

Song Qingshan stood there awkwardly and said, “I heard that Miss Qi enjoys moon viewing. Tomorrow is the fifteenth; I would like to invite Miss Qi to Yueman Building for a gathering. There will be a lot of activities…”

Before Song Qingshan could finish, Qi Yue coldly interrupted.

“No need. Given the current situation of the Fox King Residence, can you really afford to entertain guests? Crown Prince Qingshan, you should focus on finding that person instead!”

It was fortunate that there were no bystanders; had there been a second person to hear these words, Song Qingshan would have been mortified to death.

He watched dumbfounded as Qi Yue quickly left, her tall figure vanishing in a flash, a blush of unnatural red spreading across his face.

At that moment, Fox King Song Yuanzhao appeared and asked softly, “How did it go, did Miss Qi agree?”

“No,” Song Qingshan shook his head and repeated what Qi Yue had said.

Song Yuanzhao listened and stroked his short beard.

“If she had actually agreed, she wouldn't be Miss Qi. But remember, even if you can't form a marital alliance with Miss Qi, you cannot let that youngster Song Qiyun get ahead.”

“Yes, father, I understand.”

Qi Yue, however, had no mood to go shopping and rushed back to Plum Blossom Villa, immediately entering the Space Mall upon returning to her room, which finally made her feel much safer.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she just couldn't figure out who the person secretly helping her was.

To think it was Zhao Xiyan?

Firstly, he wasn't that kind of person, and secondly, he didn't know about the Space Mall.

Even if there had been some slight hints on the exile journey, it wasn't to the extent that he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

Such a thing–if not seen with one's own eyes, who would think of it?

The perplexed Qi Yue simply decided not to think about it anymore.

Now that Qing Nanzun had died, and she had cleared out both Yewang Prefecture and the Fox King Residence, her next step was to return to Beiyuan.

Only now there was a problem: the Beiyuan Emperor had offered her as a bargaining chip to Donggao, and once she returned, it would be regarded as sabotaging the alliance between the two nations, a capital offense.

The Beiyuan Emperor could have her executed at any moment.

Moreover, at Longnan County Government, there was Hu Chengxuan, the Great General. In front of the 150,000-strong Longnan Army, she had no power to resist.

She couldn't truly start a massive slaughter, could she?

At this thought, Qi Yue felt somewhat helpless.

How vast the world was, yet there seemed to be no place for her to belong!
