The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again!

343 Leave Tie Family Village for the Time Being

Gu Qingxue knew that Prince Heng was not joking. She frowned and watched him leave with his men.

After Prince Heng left, Fu Cheng immediately went up to Gu Qingxue and apologized, “Please forgive me, Lady Gu. Prince Heng was watching, soeven if I wanted to help you, I couldn’t. I made Lady Gu suffer.”

Gu Qingxue merely smiled when she heard that. “It’s alright. Lord Fu has helped me a lot these few days. I can’t thank you enough in my heart. Lord Fu, you don’t have to worry about me from now on. Take your people and follow Prince Heng first. Once you find an opportunity, you still have to secretly give the villagers medicine. Even if you can’t guarantee that it will happen twice a day, at least once a day. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to hold on until His Royal Highness returns.”

Ji Yan also stood out, “Lady Gu, don’t worry. I will do my best to cooperate with Lady Gu. However, Imperial Physician Qin’s medical skills have always been very good. How could he not be able to tell the difference between plague and acne?”

Gu Qingxue smiled but did not say anything.

The reason why Imperial Physician Qin could not tell the difference was that he looked down on her. He did not believe that she could control the spread of the plague by herself. That was why he treated the highly contagious cadaveric rash as acne.

Madam Peng and the others were all anxious. They looked at Gu Qingxue uneasily, “Doctor Gu, what should we do next?”

The villagers had already seen how fierce the plague was. They were also very clear that they had only been able to hold on until now because of the medicine that Doctor Gu had developed.

According to what the prince had said just now, Lady Gu would not be able to provide them with medicine anymore. Would their illness relapse again?

They thought of the old and young who were sick in their own homes and could not help but worry.

Gu Qingxue patiently comforted everyone, she said slowly, “I know that everyone is very anxious. Actually, I’m just like everyone else, worried that the plague will sweep over again. However, we can’t disobey Prince Heng’s orders. I’ll try my best to ask Lord Fu to cooperate and provide you with medicine. Before Rong Zhan returns, all of you can only take the medicine carefully every day. Do not let anyone know about this.”

The villagers really had no other choice. After hearing these words, they all lowered their heads with dejected expressions.

“We don’t really care about this group of people. It’s just that we have wronged Lady Gu. She will have to suffer along with us.” Hunter Zhang Sighed and said worriedly.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be responsible for protecting Lady Gu before His Royal Highness returns. Everyone, go back first. In a while, Prince Heng will send someone over.”

Gu Qingxue quickly distributed the soup in the pot to the villagers and then returned to her residence under Ji Yan’s escort.

After entering, Ji Yan stood at the side worriedly and asked Gu Qingxue, “Lady Gu, are you sure you want to continue staying in the Tie Family Village?”

Gu Qingxue walked to the table and sat down. She poured herself a cup of tea and asked, “Is there anything wrong?”

Ji Yan said worriedly, “Lady Gu, you may not know this, but the relationship between Prince Heng and His Royal Highness is not good. In addition, Princess Liuying is interfering in the matter. I’m worried that Prince Heng will not let go of Lady Gu’s matter and may even make a big fuss over it. He will continue to think of ways to harm you.”

Gu Qingxue understood Ji Yan’s meaning and nodded thoughtfully. “So you want me to leave the Tie Family Village temporarily to avoid the limelight?”

Ji Yan’s expression froze. “For Lady Gu’s safety, this is the best way.”
