Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 397 - A Wicked Woman, A Tyrant.
Chapter 397: Chapter 397 A Wicked Woman, A Tyrant.
The letter read: After news had spread of the proposed marriage alliance between Western Chu and Nanyue, Western Chu Princess Qin Lingwei suddenly exposed that during her visit to Longnan County Government, she was forcefully taken into the residence by Zhao Xiyan, and her chastity was lost, with her brother Qin Zhongyu bearing witness.
“Zhao Chong, is this information reliable?”
Zhao Chong hurriedly stepped forward.
“It’s confirmed. The news came from the Western Chu Imperial Palace, and now the people of Western Chu are also talking about it.”
Qi Yue hesitated to place the message in front of Zhao Xiyan, then advised with caution,
“Don’t get angry after you read it!”
Zhao Xiyan’s brows tightened as he glanced at the letter, and a fire lit in his handsome eyes.
“He’s asking for death!”
“…This matter is very strange though, if Qin Lingwei is determined to marry you, she should have claimed that you…”
Qi Yue didn’t finish her sentence when she felt Zhao Xiyan’s gaze on her face, sharp as knives.
She immediately pursed her lips, hesitantly saying, “…Husband, don’t you think there’s something odd about this?”
Zhao Xiyan snorted, merely pinched the letter lightly, and it turned into pieces in his hand.
“Whatever the problem is, the Qin surname is doomed.”

Qi Yue didn’t know what to say!
When Qin Zhongyu left with Qin Lingwei originally, she did worry that woman would spout nonsense to rope in Zhao Xiyan.
But after watching out for several days, nothing happened.
She thought the matter had passed.
Unexpectedly, once these siblings reached Western Chu, they suddenly stirred up such trouble.
Qin Lingwei should also be well aware that Zhao Xiyan would not marry her, so why bother ruining her own reputation?
Moreover, with the distance so great, that woman couldn’t hope to use this to increase meetings with Zhao Xiyan.
Really couldn’t understand what she was plotting?
Qi Yue furrowed her brows, feeling that there was something amiss!
She wanted to have a thorough discussion with Zhao Xiyan, but then she saw him beckoning Zhao Chong over and whispering orders.
Soon, Zhao Chong took his orders and left. Qi Yue couldn’t help asking,
“Husband, how do you plan to deal with this matter?”
Zhao Xiyan scoffed.
“Such delusional people shouldn’t live another day.”
Qi Yue was shocked.
“You’re sending the Black Feather Guard to kill Qin Lingwei?”
“Killing just one, how is that enough?” Zhao Xiyan said with a chilling expression, “I’ve long said that Qin Zhongyu was courting death.”
In the face of a tarnished reputation, perhaps only violence could put an end to all the gossip and idle talk.
Qi Yue thought it over and felt this was the most viable solution.
“That works then, but having the Black Feather Guard act might not be very convincing!”
Zhao Xiyan looked surprised for a moment, then frowned.
“Yueyue, you’re not thinking of going to Western Chu, are you?!”
“What do you think?” Qi Yue smiled and moved closer, taking Zhao Xiyan’s hand in hers.
“You are my husband, and now someone is slandering you with baseless accusations. As your wife, I need to make an example of them… that way, let’s see who else dares to approach you? I must let all the women in the world know that anyone who tries to get involved with you will end up with only one outcome—silenced!”
Zhao Xiyan’s good-looking brows and eyes revealed a smile, showing eight white teeth.
“It’s the first time I’m hearing Yueyue be so domineering in defending her husband…”
“…I’ve defended you many times!” Qi Yue rolled her eyes.
“Are you implying I’m often bullied?”
“Who dares to bully you? It’s clearly women coveting you…” Qi Yue pursed her lips, “Don’t change the subject, we’re talking about going to Western Chu!”
Zhao Xiyan smiled composedly.
“Yueyue’s idea is good, but… it’s better to leave this matter to the Black Feather Guard.”
“Why? You know very well that it’s best if I handle this matter.” Qi Yue couldn’t comprehend.
“There’s no ‘best’ in this case, I want you safe.”
Zhao Xiyan spoke, his expression gradually becoming serious.
“If I’m not mistaken, Longnan County Government will soon face a huge challenge, and if anything goes wrong with you, it will be very difficult for me to come to your aid in time.”
“A huge challenge?”
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment but quickly understood.
“Are you saying that Capital City is going to make a move against us?”
Zhao Xiyan nodded.
“Not just that, I have a premonition that Nanyue Court, Donggao, and Western Chu will not miss this opportunity. Once they send out their troops, you must stay by my side.”
Qi Yue nodded silently.
That was correct.
She had thought so before.
But precisely because it was so, she should look for opportunities from the outside even more.
Even though Zhao Xiyan’s prowess was unparalleled in the world, he only had an army of five hundred thousand.
Once Donggao, Beiyuan, Western Chu, and Nanyue all made their moves, gathering an army of over a million to use against places like Longnan and Yecheng, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Of course, she could use a large number of lethal weapons to blast the soldiers of the four nations into smithereens, but what then?
What would the people of the world think?
They might feel that both of them were cruel in their slaughter and unworthy of being the rulers of this world.
Even if they eventually unified this continent, she and Zhao Xiyan would only be seen as a venomous woman and a tyrant who regarded human lives as worthless as weeds.
Would such a world really be stable?
Was that really the outcome she wanted?
She voiced her concerns one by one, trying to persuade Zhao Xiyan energetically.
“My lord, even if I stay by your side, it doesn’t necessarily mean I will be safe. Aren’t Sheng Cuihua and her father always watching us? I actually think I might be safer in another place!”
At these words, Zhao Xiyan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“You mean to say going to Western Chu would be safer than staying by my side?!”
Being handsome does have its advantages, even a widened eye is cute.
Seeing Zhao Xiyan’s exaggerated expression, Qi Yue almost laughed out loud.
“My lord, don’t rush, listen to what I have to say!”
Zhao Xiyan shook off her hand irritably.
“Don’t talk, I’m not listening. No matter what, you cannot leave without my accompaniment.”
Qi Yue sighed and continued speaking regardless.
“As you said before, Sheng Cuihua and her father are my greatest enemies. Once confronted, escape would be impossible, so the best course of action is to leave. I plan to have Zhao Chong fly a plane to Western Chu, which would only take ten shichen to reach Yindu. Once I’m gone, Sheng Cuihua will definitely notice, but by then, I’ll be in Western Chu. Even if he finds out the truth, it will take half a month for the news to reach Western Chu. In this time difference, he will surely expose himself, and then you wouldn’t need to hold back, just finish him… Once I deal with the Western Chu Princess and you handle Sheng Cuihua, it would be a perfect solution…”
“I suspect your aim isn’t merely the Western Chu Princess, is it?!”
Zhao Xiyan interrupted her, his tone severe.
“I absolutely forbid you to take risks! Don’t you trust me to handle everything, no matter how many of them there are?”
“Of course I trust you, but I want to do something!” Qi Yue responded earnestly, “Zhao Xiyan, after all this time together, don’t you know what kind of person I am? I can’t live just under your protection!”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiyan was visibly stunned, but he quickly nodded.
“…”
His mind raced with thoughts.
From the beginning, he knew the kind of woman he had fallen for.
Arrogant and domineering, yet calm and wise.
She possessed all the virtues that women of this world could have, and even those they didn’t.
It was for these reasons that he loved her so deeply!
So why was he now asking her to be like most women in this world, to curl up like a newborn bird beneath his wings when faced with adversity?
“My lord, as you just said, Longnan County Government will face a huge challenge. I want to fight alongside you!”
Looking into Qi Yue’s serious and determined eyes, Zhao Xiyan started to waver.
He knew that if he firmly insisted on her staying, she would obey.
But what about afterward? With her character, wouldn’t that inevitably lead to estrangement between them?
