321 You Can’t Leave
Rong Zhan nodded slightly and agreed, “Okay.”
Gong Lingyu was relieved, then she took the prescription and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Princess Liuying was still in a daze, unable to come back to her senses.
The situation had developed beyond Princess Liuying’s expectations. She had thought that Gu Qingxue was just spouting nonsense about the plague.
However, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this matter was not a joke.
Only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter. Princess Liuying did not have the time to continue arguing with Gu Qingxue. She staggered to her feet and said, “Since the Royal Highness still has things to do, then Ying’er should not disturb the Royal Highness here…”
“Wait a moment.” Gu Qingxue stopped Princess Liuying and commanded without a doubt, “You can’t leave.”
“Why?! Lady Gu, do you want to restrict me?!” Princess Liuying looked like a belligerent hen. She glared at Gu Qingxue and questioned her.
“Because I have the final say in this place. I closed the An Pharmacy because this place might have been infected by the plague. Everyone who enters this place has the possibility of being infected. Since you’ve entered this place, you must stay here and be observed for a few days to make sure that you’re not sick. Only then can I let you leave,” Gu Qingxue said, her gaze slowly swept across the faces of everyone present, and she said indifferently, “Not only Princess Liuying, but all of you who broke in with her are also not allowed to leave An Pharmacy.”
“You already have a patient infected with the plague here, yet you still want us to stay here. Do you want our lives?!” Bing’er suddenly became agitated, along with the other guards, she stared at Gu Qingxue and said aggressively.
Gu Qingxue did not panic at all. She replied coldly, “This is what it means when you don’t leave when there’s a path to heaven, and you barge in when there’s no door to Hell. When you broke the door, Shopkeeper Huang must have stopped you. It’s your stubbornness.”
Huang Rongfa nodded. “At that time, I told them that they might be infected with the plague if they entered the An Pharmacy. who asked them to come in?”
Princess Liuying was rendered speechless. Her legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.
“Men, take Princess Liuying and the others to the second floor for quarantine. Don’t let them come into contact with the mother and son of the Liu family for the time being,” Gu Qingxue cleared her throat and ordered the people of An Pharmacy.
The servants of An Pharmacy covered their faces with veils and dragged Princess Liuying and the others upstairs.
“Your Royal Highness, the plague is an urgent matter. When I ordered people to seal off the village, I wasn’t sure about the situation. Thank you for believing me, Your Royal Highness,” Gu Qingxue said gratefully.
If Rong Zhan had not come to support her today and handed over all the matters related to the plague to her, the matter today wouldn’t have ended so easily.
“Yu’er came back in a hurry to ask for my help, so I told someone to come over. From now on, my secret guards are at your disposal. No one will dare to hurt you easily.” Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue, and Gu Qingxue’s figure was reflected in his eyes.
Gu Qingxue was moved. She lowered her eyes to hide the emotion that flashed in her eyes. “Thank You, Your Royal Highness.”
Rong Zhan nodded slightly and asked, “How confident are you in dealing with the plague?”
Gu Qingxue said immediately, “I’m already fifty percent confident. As for how long it will take to completely suppress the plague, it still depends on the situation in Tie Family Village.”
