342 I Can Cure Everyone
Prince Heng could not let his subordinates hurt all the villagers of Tie Family Village just because he wanted to capture Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue was also surprised. She felt warm in her heart when she saw the villagers stand up for her.
At the same time, Gu Qingxue did not want the villagers to get hurt to protect her.
Moreover, many of them were already infected with the plague. If they continued to interact with the guards, there was a high chance that the plague would spread out.
It was not easy for her to control the plague. After so many days of hard work, she could not let it be destroyed in an instant!
“Big Sister Peng, why don’t we…” Gu Qingxue had just opened her mouth when she was hugged tightly by Madam Peng.
“Doctor Gu, don’t be afraid! We will never let them take you away!” Madam Peng was strong and muscular. The moment she opened her mouth and shouted, she looked quite terrifying.
The fighting power of a village was quite considerable. In addition, the guards did not dare to use weapons to hurt people. For a time, they were in a stalemate.
Seeing that so many of their guards could not catch Gu Qingxue, Princess Liuying was so angry that she kept stomping her feet. “Father, what are you waiting for? Quickly catch Gu Qingxue!”
“What do you know? The law doesn’t punish everyone!” Prince Heng said with a cold face.
He was not afraid of Rong Zhan, but the emperor had ordered him to investigate whether the plague was true. Once it was true, he had full authority to deal with it. If the emperor heard that he had hurt innocent people, he would be finished!
Imperial Physician Qin stood in front of the carriage. His sinister gaze stopped on Gu Qingxue. After a moment of silence, he turned around and bowed to Prince Heng, he turned around and bowed to Prince Heng. “Your Highness, I think it’s better to call it a day. We still have a chance in the future.”
Princess Liuying was immediately displeased when she heard this. She looked at Prince Heng anxiously.
Prince Heng had a headache because of this. He waved his hand impatiently. “Forget it, let’s call it a day!”
Princess Liuying widened her eyes unwillingly. “Father!”
However, this time, Prince Heng did not indulge Princess Liuying anymore. Instead, he swept his cold gaze across her face.
Prince Heng’s gaze immediately caused Princess Liuying to lower her head in fear.
Prince Heng finally gave up and gave a meaningful glance to Lieutenant Yu, who was not far away.
Lieutenant Yu immediately understood what Prince Heng meant. He raised his hand and forcefully pushed away Ji Yan, who was fighting with him. He ordered loudly, “Everyone, retreat!”
Hearing Lieutenant Yu’s order, the guards all backed off at the same time, instantly distancing themselves from the villagers.
The villagers all gathered around Gu Qingxue and continued to protect her.
Gu Qingxue’s calm gaze fell on Imperial Physician Qin, “The plague in the Tie Family Village has been controlled. Now, as long as the prince finds the last herb we need, I’ll be able to cure everyone.”
Imperial Physician Qin snorted in disdain. He turned his head away proudly, he did not bother to argue with Gu Qingxue. “Prince Heng, I think that the people of the Tie Family Village have been bewitched. Before they fully recover, they should not drink the soup prepared by the sinful woman anymore.”
“You have a point. Gu Qingxue, you are so stubborn that you insist that the villagers have the plague. In that case, let Imperial Physician Qin treat the villagers according to his idea. After Imperial Physician Qin treats the people, I want to see what reason you have to quibble!” Prince Heng paused, then he ordered, “Keep an eye on these villagers. Whoever dares to drink the soup prepared by Gu Qingxue will die!”
