Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 264 - : Moved to an Empty Place
Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Moved to an Empty Place
With Song Chongzhen around, Qi Yue no longer had to worry about the affairs at Yimei Garden.
After night fell, she left without anyone noticing.
The nights in Yanjing were lively until 9-11 PM, and the banquets in the palace would not end until close to 11 PM – 1 AM, so Qi Yue had plenty of time.
It was still early, and she disguised herself as a man, walking along East Main Street. She saw two carriages leave from Yewang Prefecture and one from the Fox King Residence, all heading towards the Imperial City.
She spent a few pieces of Silver and soon found out.
It was indeed a coincidence.
...
Almost all the important people from Yewang Prefecture were out.
According to the servants at the gate of Yewang Prefecture, the Virtuous Imperial Consort was hosting a tea party, inviting all the Great Consorts to participate, and hence the consort from Yewang also entered the palace.
The same thing happened at the Fox King Residence; the Fox King and his consort also went to the palace, but unexpectedly, Song Qingshan did not go.
After considering the situation, Qi Yue decided to first empty Yewang Prefecture and then go on to the Fox King Residence. By then, even if Song Qingshan was extra vigilant and discovered her, it wouldn’t matter.
Once everything was confirmed, Qi Yue stealthily snuck into Yewang Prefecture in the darkness.
While climbing the wall, she thought to herself that she was skilled at everything except Qinggong, but luckily, she had the most advanced climbing rope.
As soon as she landed, she felt that something was amiss.
She had entered through the back courtyard, and since it was not yet 9-11 PM, the servants should not have been asleep, and there should have been some noise.
But it was too quiet!
Frighteningly quiet!
The whistling autumn wind swept the leaves into a flurry, and a black cat dashed by, startling Qi Yue.
Beyond that, there were no other sounds—it was as if Yewang Prefecture was an empty mansion.
For a moment, Qi Yue almost wanted to turn around and leave.
But the strong desire to rob Yewang Prefecture drove her deeper into the mansion.
Yewang Prefecture was large, and with the map in her memory, Qi Yue quickly reached the main courtyard.
The courtyard was lit up, the flowers and trees rustled, but no one was in sight.
Qi Yue proceeded while spraying anesthetic mist, walking straight into the main house.
The scene before her astonished her.
Two people resembling maids were lying on the ground, and another old woman lay face up on a small couch.
All three were knocked out, and Qi Yue kicked them a couple of times without eliciting any response.
Instantly, Qi Yue felt the alertness that someone might have gotten there before her.
But it didn’t seem likely; she checked the inner room, casually flipped through it, and found a stack of silver notes in a cabinet beside the bed, amounting to at least 20,000 Silver.
In the make-up box next to it, there was a plethora of jade bracelets, Gold Collars, hair ornaments, hairpins… nothing seemed missing.
Could it be that someone wanted to kill King Ye, and upon not finding him here, had knocked everyone out?
“…”
After pondering for a moment, Qi Yue decisively waved her hand and gathered all movable items in the inner room into her space.
She even took the consort’s wardrobe.
What the heck!
Promised to leave not a single item!
This was the main courtyard, filled with valuable items. The large flower vases in the corridor were half a person tall with very fine patterns, Qi Yue thought she’d take them back for Little Bai Yun to play with and took them as well.
The ornaments in the outer room, calligraphy, incense burners, sandalwood chairs, malachite screens…
Qi Yue was dazzled by it all, couldn’t bother to look anymore, and just took them all.
Leaving the main courtyard and entering the next, Qi Yue entered and took the flower racks and lotus pots too.
Looking inside, the house was just like the main courtyard, with several servants sprawled in preparation to go out, but had been knocked out.
“…”
Qi Yue couldn’t figure out what was going on and decided not to think about it.
Anyway, she didn’t feel any danger!
Might as well take advantage of others and pick up what’s left!
Collect, collect, collect!
“Collect” was the word, and Qi Yue did not stop for a moment, bustling through Yewang Prefecture, truly leaving no stone unturned.
Just think, such a huge palace, not a single person awake, and all at your mercy!
The feeling was simply exhilarating!
There was one thing, however, because there was no one awake, it took a bit of time to find the warehouse.
After all, it was Yewang Prefecture’s warehouse, huge it was, covering two hundred square meters, everything neatly categorized and pleasantly organized.
Gold, silver, grains, fabrics, all sorts of household items, it was even more stocked than a supermarket.
Qi Yue, while marveling at the skill of the warehouse manager in her heart, relentlessly collected items.
After a sweeping operation, Qi Yue finally remembered that she still had something to do—she hadn’t found Song Chongzhen’s wife and child yet!
By now, the only place left in Yewang Prefecture she hadn’t visited was the servants’ quarters.
Qi Yue hurriedly walked north, having studied the map of Yewang Prefecture before, she remembered this place, close to North Street, which made it incredibly convenient to get to the Fox King Residence!
Suddenly she thought of a problem, the person who entered before her might have knocked out the mother and child too!
As if to answer her doubt, suddenly there was a faint child’s cry from the room ahead.
“Wu…”
Lucky for Qi Yue, being a general practitioner with sharp hearing, she would have missed it had it been just that kitten-like sound.
The mother and child were in a small room at the far north; Lady Song was knocked out, but the child wasn’t. Staring with lackluster eyes and softly crying, obviously very hungry.
Qi Yue quickly held the child in her arms, checked him over and thankfully found nothing seriously wrong, only severe malnutrition.
“Who would have thought, these days even burglars consider children!”
She muttered to herself, swiftly gave the child some Spiritual Spring Water, stuffed a pacifier in his mouth, and placed him on the big bed in her space.
As for Lady Song, she wasn’t so courteous; to prevent her from waking up halfway through, she directly applied an anesthetic needle to her acupuncture point, making her sleep even deeper, before she also took her into her space.
With the climbing rope tied around her waist, in just a few moments, Qi Yue was already standing in the alley on the north side.
She didn’t idle afterwards, turned two more corners straight away, and arrived at the Fox King Residence.
Familiar with the route, she entered through the backyard, and Qi Yue was startled again.
It was really bizarre!
Why was the Fox King Residence also quiet as a grave?
Wasn’t it said that Song Qingshan hadn’t gone to the Imperial City?
Could he be asleep?
It was still a quarter of an hour until 9-11 PM!
For safety’s sake, Qi Yue immediately used Teleportation and arrived at the main courtyard.
The scene was exactly the same as in Yewang Prefecture.
Apart from a few unconscious bodies on the ground, there wasn’t a soul in sight.
It was absolutely spine-chilling!
Someone had gotten to the Fox King Residence before her and had knocked everyone out.
No killing, no theft!
It was as if they were her accomplice, clearing the way for her!
Who would believe that?

Qi Yue almost went mad!
Of course, this feeling was only momentary, she didn’t believe there was an ultimate master secretly escorting her!
“There must be another explanation.”
Never mind that, collecting items was more important!
Another sweeping round!
Halfway through, she saw Song Qingshan lying on a table in a courtyard.
Taken aback by this, Qi Yue also began to reason.
Song Qingshan was a general after all. His alertness and combat skills must have been far superior to ordinary people, but just like everyone else, he too had been overcome.
There was no sign of struggle in the room, and she couldn’t fathom how someone had managed to knock him out so quickly and stealthily.
It was simply unimaginable!
A quarter of an hour later, the Fox King Residence was completely stripped bare by her!
With a big job done, Qi Yue didn’t linger any longer and prepared to head straight back to Plum Blossom Villa!
