340 How Dare You Use the Prince Regent to Suppress Me?
“Yes!” Lieutenant Yu agreed and quickly headed toward Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue looked at Lieutenant Yu coldly, allowing him to quickly approach her.
Lieutenant Yu stretched out his hand, but before he could touch Gu Qingxue, a wave of aura swept over and firmly blocked in front of Gu Qingxue.
Ji Yan had a cold aura. He kicked Lieutenant Yu’s body like a whip.
Lieutenant Yu was no match for Ji Yan, so he was kicked away from where he was.
Lieutenant Yu was sent flying in an extremely embarra.s.sing position. After he landed heavily on the ground, he groaned in pain.
“Lieutenant Yu, you bullied a weak woman. Are you even a man?” Ji Yan looked at Lieutenant Yu and mocked him.
“Ji Yan!” Lieutenant Yu gritted his teeth in anger. He stood up from where he was and glared at Ji Yan. “I’m following orders. Ji Yan, you dare to stop me? Do you not want your life?!”
“His Royal Highness has ordered that we must ensure the safety of Lady Gu no matter what.” Ji Yan looked at Prince Heng in the carriage, after cupping his hands, he said politely, “Prince Heng, please forgive me. Lady Gu is the first person to discover the plague. She has already achieved a lot in treating the plague, so she shouldn’t be replaced.”
“Hmph, what plague? It’s simply nonsense.”At this moment, Imperial Physician Qin strode down from the carriage, his eyes shooting out a chilling light that made one’s heart palpitate.
Looking at Imperial Physician Qin, Gu Qingxue could not help but frown.
Judging from the way this old man dressed, he should be the imperial physician of the palace. However, he did not have the modest aura that an imperial physician should have. Instead, he was showing off his sharp edge, which made Gu Qingxue subconsciously have a bad impression of him.
Imperial Physician Qin said, “Gu Qingxue, you have no respect for human life. Do you know yourcCrime?”
“I’m not guilty.” Gu Qingxue was still unperturbed by Imperial Physician Qin’s question.
“How dare you quibble?! These villagers only had normal acne. They could recover as long as they applied the ointment on them on time. However, you lied and said that they had the plague. Not only did you seal the village and restrict the freedom of the people, but you also caused panic among the people. How is this not a crime?” Imperial Physician Qin glared at Gu Qingxue angrily, it seemed that she had really committed a heinous crime.
Fu Cheng also rushed over with his men. After hearing this, he quickly bowed to Prince Heng in the carriage, “I am Fu Cheng, the magistrate of Qingyuan Town. Greetings, Prince Heng.”
“So you are the Fu Cheng who was bewitched by the witch and made the decision to seal the village without permission?” Prince Heng had already accused Fu Cheng of the crime.
Fu Cheng’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He cupped his hands and said, “Prince Heng misunderstood. The prince regent is personally involved in this matter. Moreover, His Royal Highness has also agreed to let me and Lady Gu do it.”
Prince Heng narrowed his eyes, he asked sharply, “How dare you use the prince regent to pressure me? Don’t forget that the emperor has left the plague matter to me to handle! Even if Rong Zhan is here, he has no choice but to listen to my arrangements!”
“Gu Qingxue, don’t resist.” Imperial Physician Qin was the head of the imperial hospital. His medical skills were unrivaled, and he would never make a mistake. “To be able to call an ordinary dark sore a plague shows how stupid you are.” Princess Liuying lifted the curtain of the carriage, she looked at Gu Qingxue with an especially smug expression.
She was like a peac.o.c.k high up in the sky, waiting for Gu Qingxue to show a panicked expression.
