341 If You Want to Capture Her, It Means That You’re Also Taking Our Lives!
However, Princess Liuying was obviously overthinking.
Gu Qingxue did not show any fear on her face. She did not even give Princess Liuying a glance, completely ignoring her existence.
“The symptoms of acne are indeed very similar to the cadaveric rash. However, acne doesn’t cause vomiting or diarrhea, and it’s not contagious,” Gu Qingxue said coldly while looking at Imperial Physician Qin.
“If it really is the cadaveric rash, it will spread very quickly. By today, not to mention the people of the Tie Family Village, there will be a large number of infected people in the nearby villages and towns,” Imperial Physician Qin said coldly.
“That’s because we drank the medicine that Lady Gu gave us!” Hunter Zhang was the bravest and jumped out to defend Gu Qingxue.
“Yes! My son was very sick at the beginning. It was because he drank the medicine that lady gu brewed that his body slowly recovered!” Madam Peng added.
“Gu Qingxue brewed medicine for us every day. We drank it every day. Gu Qingxue said that this medicine can prevent the plague,” another villager said.
“Humph, the cadaveric rash is such a terrible plague. Ten out of ten people will be infected. It’s a miracle that even one of them can live. How can it be prevented by just drinking medicine?!” Imperial Physician Qin said.
“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean that other people can’t do it,” Gu Qingxue said.
Imperial Physician Qin was so angry that his nose was almost crooked, he pointed at Gu Qingxue angrily and said, “I’ve been practicing medicine for dozens of years, but I’ve never met such an arrogant junior like you. I’ll say it here today. If what you can cure them and what these villagers have is cadaveric rash, I’ll never practice medicine again in my life!”
Princess Liuying joined in the jeering, “That’s right, Gu Qingxue, aren’t you very powerful? Then why don’t you treat these villagers? What do you mean by suppressing the illness? I think you’re talking nonsense!”
“You’re the one talking nonsense. You’re not allowed to bully Doctor Gu!” Jin Dabao was furious, his steamed bun face flushed red.
“Impudent! How dare you be impudent to me?! I think you’ve eaten the courage of a leopard! Men, arrest all those who disobey my father’s orders!” Princess Liuying could not wait to see Gu Qingxue’s bad luck. How could she be stopped by these villagers?
Immediately, the guards brought by Prince Heng surrounded her like a tidal wave.
A grave look appeared in Gu Qingxue’s eyes. She knew very well that she could not fight against the imperial court alone.
However, she also knew very well that she had a deep grudge against Princess Liuying. Once she was really caught in prison, she would immediately become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered and could only be manipulated by these people!
Just as Gu Qingxue was struggling with what to do next, the villagers suddenly shouted, “They want to attack Doctor Gu! Quick, go and protect Doctor Gu!”
After saying this, the villagers rushed over like a flood. The women protected Gu Qingxue while the men swarmed toward the guards.
Prince Heng’s face turned gloomy when he saw this. he shouted, “Are you all crazy?!”
“Doctor Gu is our savior. If you want to capture her, it means that you’re also taking our lives! We must fight you to the death!” Hunter Zhang was the strongest. He followed Ji Yan and rushed to the front.
Prince Heng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. However, he had no choice but to order his men loudly, “No, we can’t hurt them!”
