Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 403 - “Long Live Princess Xiyang”
Chapter 403: Chapter 403 “Long Live Princess Xiyang!”
Chapter 403: Chapter 403 “Long Live Princess Xiyang!”
“My lord, could this Qin person be trying to ruin your reputation?!” Zhao Chong quietly leaned over and whispered, “Shall we still leave?”
Qi Yue laughed.
“I actually think Qin Lingwei is helping me gain fame! Let’s see…”
At this moment, the Soldier at the city gate escorted two plump women over, who, while not weighing more than two hundred pounds, were certainly on the heavier side.
The crowd broke into discussion once again.
“What on earth is going on here? Who exactly is Miss Qi Yue among them?”
“It’s such a shame, I heard Miss Qi Yue is actually a nice person, she can heal the sick, she’s a Divine Doctor!”
“Rumors shouldn’t be believed so easily, though. If Miss Qi Yue is so capable, why doesn’t she heal herself? Look at all that fat…”
“If she’s a Divine Doctor, that means she heals illnesses, what does fat have to do with it?”
“Don’t you know? Being fat might also be a sickness.”
“Hahaha….”
Hearing these unpleasant remarks, Zhao Chong was finding it hard to restrain himself.
If it weren’t for Qi Yue’s safety being more important, he would have leaped up to start killing by now.
Zhao Chong gripped the knife at his waist, “My lord…”
“Ignore them!”
“But…”
“They aren’t talking about me,” Qi Yue said, the corners of her lips curving slightly, “If I were to get agitated, it would only make things worse.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Just as Zhao Chong let go of his hand from his waist, he heard a sudden scream erupting from the crowd.
“Ah! Someone’s getting beaten up, that fatso is hitting people!”
Turning around, they saw a large-faced fatty pinning two people to the ground and beating them.
While hitting, he was also cursing them!
“That’s for your loose talk, for your loose talk… What’s wrong with being fat? Eating well and being full is how you get fat…”
The corners of Qi Yue’s eyes twitched uncontrollably.
This fatty’s emotional management really was terrible!
A Nanyue person fighting in the streets of Western Chu’s Yindu was certainly asking for trouble.
As expected, the Soldiers guarding the city gate immediately rushed over to apprehend someone.
Luckily, the bearded man and the skinny-faced man were quick-witted, and they dragged the large-faced fatty into the crowd.
Just then, a procession suddenly turned onto the street from the other end.
Leading were rows of Soldiers carrying long spears, followed by a luxurious carriage drawn by four horses.
It was clear that this was not an ordinary excursion.
Indeed, after the procession turned the corner, there appeared a long column of ceremonial attendants, one on each side holding a tall board with two characters written on it—Xiyang.

Then two horses charged to the forefront.
One horse carried a person looking at a gong, while the other rider shouted loudly.
“All must pay respects upon the approach of Princess Xiyang!”
“All must pay respects upon the approach of Princess Xiyang!”
“All must pay respects upon the approach of Princess Xiyang!”
The noisy crowd immediately fell silent, with people beginning to kneel down one after another.
“Princess Xiyang has arrived! It’s Princess Xiyang—”
“May the Princess live for a thousand years!”
“May Princess Xiyang live for a thousand years!”
As the procession drew closer, everyone on the entire street had knelt down.
Only Qi Yue and Zhao Chong remained standing in the street.
For a moment, Zhao Chong felt at a loss.
Bowing to Qin Lingwei was out of the question.
“My lord, shall we still leave…”
Qi Yue looked at Zhao Chong indifferently, with no intention of running away…
“The sun is already setting, and there’s still such fanfare…”
Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Chong’s forehead.
“My lord, standing here like this is too conspicuous, Qin will definitely recognize us.”
Qi Yue snorted, “So what if you recognize me, are you scared?”
“I’m worried about our master’s safety!” Zhao Chong stepped forward, “Otherwise, let me cover for the master a bit.”
“You’re worried she’ll order my capture?”
Zhao Chong watched the approaching carriage, his voice trembling with urgency.
“Master, this is Yindu after all, the woman is surrounded by elite imperial guards, I’m not confident…”
Without Zhao Tai present, and Qingzhu not yet in place, if anything happened to Qi Yue, he couldn’t appease the Marquis’s wrath even if he died a hundred times.
“Master, while we still can, let’s avoid trouble for a moment…”
“That won’t do, I’ve finally made it to Yindu, I must take in the spectacle of the Princess’s retinue.” Qi Yue stepped leisurely forward, dodging Zhao Chong’s attempt to shield her, “Heh, quite imposing…”
“Master…” Zhao Chong was on the verge of tears.
If he could, he really wished he could carry Qi Yue on his shoulders and run away!
Seeing that Zhao Chong was genuinely frightened, Qi Yue couldn’t help but sigh internally.
These guards have many virtues, but patience isn’t one of them.
“Relax, at least in the middle of the street, she won’t grab me.”
Tense, Zhao Chong hurriedly asked, “Why?”
“Didn’t you say it, Qin Lingwei staged this at the city gates to ruin my reputation? Now that I am standing here, does she dare to call me out as Qi Yue?”
Zhao Chong blinked, struggling to grasp the concept.
“That’s easy to say, but she has experts by her side…”
There was no need to continue talking, as Princess Xiyang’s retinue had already arrived.
Worshippers were everywhere, Qi Yue’s red attire and Zhao Chong’s black clothes stood out conspicuously.
The two horses leading the procession reared up right in front of them.
“Neigh…”
Accompanied by two long neighs, the enormous horse heads snorted strongly, nearly bumping into Qi Yue’s face.
“Audacious scoundrel, the Princess’s procession is passing, how dare you not kneel!”
Qi Yue’s lips curled up slightly, and then the two horses suddenly neighed, throwing the soldiers on their backs directly towards the city gates like the wind.
“Audacious scoundrel, seeking death…”
The two soldiers cursed as they got up, pulling out their swords to charge at them.
Zhao Chong, quick to react, sent each flying with a kick.
Now things had taken a turn for the worse, the soldiers at the front of the carriage immediately surrounded them with spears raised.
“Audacious scoundrels, you see the Princess’s procession and refuse to kneel, and you even dare to attack her procession’s officers, have you tired of living?!”
Qi Yue hooked her lips.
“Whether I’m a scoundrel, I don’t know, but one thing’s for sure, Princess Xiyang wouldn’t want me to kneel if she knew it was me.”
Hearing this, the soldiers exchanged puzzled glances, confusion on their faces at first, then turning sinister.
“How dare you, speaking ill of our Princess.”
As they spoke, they advanced with swords drawn again.
This time, Qi Yue didn’t indulge them, grabbing the hilt of a sword with her bare hands.
If it hadn’t been for Zhao Xiyan’s repeated instructions not to show off her Divine Power casually, she could have easily crumpled the sword into scrap.
“I suggest you go and ask Princess Xiyang how it feels to fall out of a box.”
As she spoke, Qi Yue deliberately raised her voice toward the carriage.
Sure enough, the moment she finished speaking, the carriage curtain was jerked halfway open, revealing a beautiful face.
—It was Qin Lingwei.
Their eyes met, Qi Yue with a smirk, Qin Lingwei, on the other hand, was furious, her eyes nearly shooting flames.
Neither of them spoke, but the air was thick with the crackling tension.
After a brief yet interminably long half-minute, Qin Lingwei fiercely grabbed the curtain.
The carriage then started moving, without warning, taking a turn and soon disappearing from view.
If not for the commoners kneeling all down the street, the whole place was as silent as if no one had ever been there.
“Master…”
Zhao Chong, coming back to his senses from the astonishment, was about to ask what had just happened but saw Qi Yue’s expression turn cold.
“Let’s go, quickly, trouble’s coming!”
“What… what’s happened?”
“Qin Lingwei’s men will likely be here any moment.”
