Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 368 - Almost Like Rebellion

Chapter 368: Chapter 368 Almost Like Rebellion

In a very short amount of time, Chu Yuntian made a decision.

— He was going to entrust Longnan County Government to Zhao Xiyan!

Not only that, but as the Governor of Longnan County, he intended to clear Qi Yue’s name, exonerating her from the smeared charges!

Tan Cheng was shocked by his audacious plan!

“Sir, if you hand over the Longnan County Government to Zhao Xiyan, it’s almost the same as rebelling, especially given the Marquis’s current awkward status.”

Chu Yuntian snorted coldly.

“What time is it, and you still care about that? I predict that the Capital City will not care about the people of Longnan, even if they all died—the emperor wouldn’t mind. At this point, to prevent a disaster from befalling Longnan County Government, this is the best method. Only if we place Longnan County Government in Zhao Xiyan’s hands will Qi Yue take action!”

“You mean Miss Qi Yue has a way to treat this disease?”

“Aside from her, no one else can.”

Tan Cheng hesitated before adding, “Sir, I heard that Feng Liang has invited the Imperial Physician from the Capital City. If they also arrive…”

Chu Yuntian laughed coldly.

“… just wait and see. It’s uncertain whether they’ll even come!”

Saying this, he beckoned Tan Cheng to come a bit closer.

“You help me with something…”

Li Sanyue in the new army had been utterly disgusted with Feng Liang for a long time, having frequently accused him in his presence, although he was oblivious at the time.

Now, although he outwardly complied with Feng Liang, he had long harbored intentions to deal with him.

He was a commander in the new army, with forty thousand soldiers under his command…

After a bout of whispering, Tan Cheng’s face was full of surprise.

“Sir, that’s to say, you also control at least forty thousand new soldiers! The chances of striking back at Feng Liang are even better now, why not…”

Chu Yuntian shook his head repeatedly.

“Feng Liang, one day, you’ll realize that I made the right decision.”

“Yes, sir.” Feng Liang immediately bowed respectfully, “Your subordinate will follow your lead!”

“Go on then, just do as I told you!”

“Yes, sir!”

Tan Cheng once again bowed and left.

Chu Yuntian returned to his desk and stared blankly at two bottles of pills lying side by side on the table, slightly curling his lips.

“You child, you’re too kind-hearted. Since you’ve left me some dignity and didn’t let me lose face in front of everyone, I am willing to do everything I can to help you. Consider it as returning the Longnan County Government to your father!”

The next day, the situation worsened.

Nearly every street was filled with citizens infected with blisters, and some who weren’t infected dared not go out at all.

In one day, several more people stiffened completely.

Their families cried out, shouting as they carried the sick to medical clinics, only to be turned away.

Throughout the entire Longnan County Government, no doctor could determine what was wrong with the blisters, nor could they provide any treatment plans.

So, they carried the stiffened people to the commoner’s medical clinic.

But this place had already been vandalized by the public, the wards were in disarray, with no place to settle.

Even the doctors, medical apprentices, and servants were nowhere to be found.

The desperate citizens, intertwined with regret, came knocking on Qi Yue’s door.

“Divine Doctor Qi Yue, please show mercy! Please save us!”

“Divine Doctor Qi Yue, we shouldn’t have listened to those malicious words, we shouldn’t have distrusted you, we know our mistake now!”

“Divine Doctor Qi Yue, please, for the sake of General Qi, save us!”

“Divine Doctor Qi Yue…”

The common folk were making a racket outside, while Huang Zai’an was doing the same inside.

He kept shouting for Qi Yue to come out and discuss the situation of the illness with him.

This old man still thought Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan were having their wedding night in the room!

“Disciple, listen to the outside, hear the people’s cries! You are the daughter of the Great General, you shouldn’t ignore the lives of the people!”

“Disciple, I have used all the knowledge I have accumulated over my lifetime on these patients, but there has been absolutely no progress. Now, we can only rely on you.”

“Hurry and come out. When is having your wedding night not feasible? Why choose such a time?”

“Just finish it already. It has been a whole night and it’s almost noon. Shouldn’t it be about enough?”

“….”

The old man shouted himself hoarse for a while but didn’t notice any movement at all in Qi Yue’s courtyard.

Huang Zai’an suddenly remembered something, pushed open Qi Yue’s room door, and indeed found the room empty, with no sign anyone had been there.

“Oh, how could I forget this! I knew as the old man…”

He slapped his thigh hard and quickly closed the door.

A cheerful smile quickly spread across his previously frustrated face.

His reaction surprised Hei Lie, who had tried but failed to stop him.

“Old master, what’s gotten into you?”

Huang Zai’an huffed, his eyes full of wrinkles glaring fiercely at Hei Lie!

“I ask you, when you stopped me earlier from entering, did you already know it would be like this?”

Hei Lie’s face tightened, but he quickly pretended nothing was wrong, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Then I’ll ask you, where did the people in this room go?”

“How should I know?” Hei Lie kept a straight face as he explained, “My master is always with Marquis, and Marquis often appears and disappears without a trace. Perhaps he took my master somewhere.”

“Ha, haha.” Huang Zai’an glared with wide eyes and laughed forcefully a few times as if he heard something hilarious!

“I tell you, boy, you’re lucky, winning her trust before even her master did!”

Hei Lie continued to feign ignorance.

“Talk of trust or no trust, I am my master’s man; I always tell the truth.”

Huang Zai’an laughed coldly a few times and patted him on the shoulder.

“You boy, your act of playing dumb is something! But it’s not quite enough; you’ve given yourself away.”

With that, Huang Zai’an walked away with relaxed steps.

It was as if he had suddenly shed some heavy burden!

Standing in the courtyard, Hei Lie scratched his head, muttering, “Given away? When did I give anything away?”

In the lab, Qi Yue had been busy all night and the following morning.

She had successfully extracted the active nerve of the Immortal Bug and had continued further research on it throughout the night.

Unexpectedly, she discovered something even more miraculous.

The active nerve of the Immortal Bug could actually regenerate!

Yesterday afternoon, she had only extracted a strand, as tiny as 0.2 millimeters, almost invisible to the naked eye, but by this morning, the active nerve in the Petri dish had already grown as thick as a finger.

Watching the active nerve of the Immortal Bug continuously twist and thicken in the dish, Qi Yue felt a sense of horror creeping in.

Suddenly, the little assistant swiveled its mechanical eyeballs and said, “Master, is there a possibility that this active nerve has the ability to reproduce asexually and under certain conditions, they can infinitely reproduce and grow!”

Qi Yue pursed her lips.

“I rather think it possesses the ability to split itself, thus being able to continuously infect and replicate….”

As she spoke, an idea suddenly emerged in her mind.

“….Little assistant, do you think it’s possible that the culprit behind the people first developing blisters and then becoming rigid is this very thing?”
