364 If It Weren’t for Doctor Gu’s Help, We Would All Be Dead!
Princess Liuying looked at the jade dragon pendant in Gu Qingxue’s hand, her envious eyes were almost bleeding, “Gu Qingxue, don’t talk about His Royal Highness! The Jade Dragon Pendant represents His Royal Highness, but you killed innocent people. Even if His Royal Highness is here, he can’t protect you!”
Gu Qingxue looked at Princess Liuying in confusion, wondering if this woman had lost her mind.
Disregarding the comfort of the civilians, she insisted that they were not suffering from the plague. Where did they get the face to come and frame her?
However, it was very strange that Princess Liuying appeared here at this moment. Gu Qingxue stood where she was, thinking. She guessed that she could have walked into the trap set by these people by accident.
Just as Gu Qingxue realized this, a bustling sound suddenly came from outside the door.
The gate of the courtyard house was kicked open by someone. Immediately after, the villagers holding torches all rushed in.
Gu Qingxue looked at these villagers in surprise and asked in surprise, “Why are all of you here?”
Madam Peng was the first one to rush to Gu Qingxue. Her face was full of anxiety as if she was afraid that Gu Qingxue would be bullied. “Doctor Gu, are you alright?”
“We heard from Old Zhang that something might have happened to you, so we rushed here. It seems that we all made it in time!” Someone among the villagers immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Gu Qingxue, however, furrowed her brows in confusion.
Even she herself had not expected such a turn of events. If that was the case, how did Hunter Zhang know that something was going to happen to her?
Princess Liuying looked at the group of aggressive villagers and appeared to be very calm as if she was not worried that they would support Gu Qingxue.
“Are you really not going to stop? Why do you keep making things difficult for Doctor Gu? If it wasn’t for Doctor Gu’s help, we would have died long ago!”At this moment, Granny Li’s eldest son, Big Li, stepped forward and said harshly.
“What you said is right. As long as we are here, you can forget about bullying Doctor Gu!” Madam Peng said aggressively.
Madam Peng’s words attracted the agreement of the villagers. They were united against a common enemy, and all of them challenged Princess Liuying for Gu Qingxue’s sake.
Under normal circumstances, they would not dare to be so presumptuous to Princess Liuying.
However, most of them had contracted the plague, and they needed Gu Qingxue’s medicine to help them prolong their lives.
Once Gu Qingxue was gone, none of them could escape.
Princess Liuying’s attempt to capture their savior was equivalent to pushing them into the fire pit together.
Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well protect Gu Qingxue to repay her the favor of saving their lives. Perhaps they might have a chance of survival.
Hearing the villagers’ words, Gu Qingxue felt touched and continued to look for Hunter Zhang.
However, Hunter Zhang was nowhere to be found, and he was not among the crowd.
Seeing the aggressive villagers, Princess Liuying was not as angry as before. Instead, she looked at them as if they were idiots, looking at the villagers, she said, “You are really stupid. Do you know that the person you are protecting is actually a charlatan, a murderer who killed a patient?”
Princess Liuying’s words immediately caused everyone to look at each other.
The villagers’ first reaction was disbelief.
