337 Lest That Witch Continue to Mislead the Masses
Prince Heng felt his heart ache, he quickly hugged his daughter who was crying bitterly in his arms and comforted her, “It’s father’s fault, father came too late! But don’t worry, no matter who bullied you, father will help you get it back with interest!”
Princess Liuying seemed to have taken some reassurance, she sobbed as she wiped away the tears in her eyes, “Father, it was Gu Qingxue who imprisoned me here. I’m fine, but she insisted that I might have contracted the plague and was imprisoned here. I have suffered a great grievance! Moreover, that b*tch actually attracted the prince’s favor. It’s clear that she is deliberately going against me!”
When Prince Heng heard Princess Liuying mention Rong Zhan, his expression immediately darkened, “How many times have I told you? Since the regent prince is not interested in you, you should not provoke him anymore. Why can’t you remember it?”
Princess Liuying cried and said, “I don’t care! I just like the prince. I just want to marry the prince. Father, if you don’t agree with me, I’d rather bang my head against the wall and die!”
Prince Heng was shocked and quickly comforted her. “That won’t do. Listen to father. Father will find Gu Qingxue first to avenge you.”
“Father, help me catch that b*tch. I want to teach her a lesson personally!” Princess Liuying demanded rudely.
Prince Heng smiled and nodded in agreement. “Alright, we’ll go now.”
The sound of slapping echoed in the air. Huang Rongfa’s face had been beaten into a pig’s head.
“Stop it.” Prince Heng waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to leave. He stared at Huang Rongfa and said, “As long as you are willing to keep a distance from Gu Qingxue and say that everything you did was instigated by Gu Qingxue alone, I can consider sparing your lives.”
Huang Rongfa was beaten until he was gasping for breath, but his face was full of determination. “Lady Gu has taken care of me in every way possible. I can not betray her!”
It was not just Huang Rongfa. Although the people of the An Pharmacy all had expressions of fear, none of them agreed to help frame Gu Qingxue.
Prince Heng’s expression was indifferent as he said disapprovingly, “I knew it. All of you are a bunch of unruly people. Since all of you want to refuse a toast, this king will grant you your wish.”
“What plague? I don’t believe that Gu Qingxue has the ability to find the plague! Father, did you bring the imperial physician here? Let’s see if it’s the plague first.”Princess Liuying still didn’t believe it, gu Qingxue could really identify the plague.
At this moment, Imperial Physician Qin slowly walked out of the room where Tie Daniu and his mother were. “Reporting to Your Highness and princess, this old subject has already identified it personally. What the mother and son in this room have received is not a plague, but a kind of acne, a disease that appears on the skin.”
“That’s impossible! Lady Gu clearly said that this disease is called corpse rash, and it’s a kind of plague!” Lil’ Qi also shouted unwillingly.
Princess Liuying sneered disdainfully. “So what if Gu Qingxue says it is? Let me tell you, Imperial Physician Qin is an old man in the palace and often helps the concubines in the harem to treat their illnesses. Even the empress dowager said that Imperial Physician Qin’s medical skills are the best in the imperial hospital, so he definitely won’t be mistaken.”
Prince Heng’s tone was calm as he slowly said, “In that case, it means that Gu Qingxue deliberately spread rumors to confuse the commoners.”
“I knew she didn’t have that kind of ability! Father, let’s quickly go to that village and capture Gu Qingxue. Otherwise, that witch will continue to mislead the masses and harm the safety of the commoners,” Princess Liuying said impatiently.
