319 He Came to Support Her
“Your Royal Highness… ?” Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan in surprise.
Looking at Rong Zhan, the wrinkles in Gu Qingxue’s heart were miraculously smoothed out. She knew very well that he came to support her.
Huang Rongfa had guessed that this handsome man in front of her had an extraordinary identity. He reacted the fastest and knelt down to Rong Zhan. “Greetings, Your Royal Highness!”
The moment Huang Rongfa opened his mouth, all the commoners present knelt down one by one. The crowd immediately shrunk by half. “Greetings, Your Royal Highness!”
Rong Zhan looked straight ahead and walked toward Gu Qingxue.
When Gu Qingxue saw this, she raised her hand to stop him. “Your Ryal Highness, you can’t come in.”
When the commoners who were kneeling on the ground heard this, they all looked at Gu Qingxue in shock as if they had seen a ghost.
Was Lady Gu tired of living? Wherever His Royal Highness wanted to go, even the emperor had to laugh and let him go. Who was she, Gu Qingxue? How could His Royal Highness listen to her?
Everyone had originally thought that Gu Qingxue would not have a good ending. Now that they saw that she actually dared to offend the prince regent, they could almost see her three-meter-tall grave grass.
However, what surprised everyone was that Rong Zhan had already stepped into An Pharmacy with one foot, but after hearing Gu Qingxue’s words, he actually retracted that foot.
“Yu-er, don’t come in either. Wait for me.” Gu Qingxue did not forget that everyone in An Pharmacy was being quarantined. If Princess Liuying and the others wanted to die, she could not stop them. However, she could not let Rong Zhan and Gong Lingyu take the risk of being infected and let them enter An Pharmacy.
Gu Qingxue entered the room and took out more than ten masks, gloves, and a bottle of disinfectant from the research institute. Only then did she finally return to the hall.
“These are masks, and these are gloves. They can prevent you from being infected by the plague. Also, this is disinfectant, which can be sprayed on your body to prevent the plague.” Gu Qingxue quickly ran to the two of them, she put on the masks for the two of them.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the people watched as the prince regent and the sixth princess obediently let Gu Qingxue order them around.
This… No matter how they looked at it, it did not seem like they were here to find Gu Qingxue and interrogate her.
Gong Lingyu obediently put on her mask and looked at Gu Qingxue worriedly, “Sister Gu, are you sure it’s really the plague?”
“Yes, I’ve already confirmed it. Your Royal Highness, using the jade dragon pendant to find the county master to seal off the village was something I had no choice but to do. I hope Your Royal Highness won’t blame me for not contacting you beforehand.” Gu Qingxue raised her head and met Rong Zhan’s gaze.
Rong Zhan had put on a mask, so Gu Qingxue could only observe his emotions through his eyes.
“Your Royal Highness! Don’t listen to Gu Qingxue’s nonsense! Why did no one else notice the plague, but only her? The plague is no trifling matter. If the rumors spread and caused the people to panic, will she, Gu Qingxue, be able to take responsibility!” Princess Liuying covered her red and swollen face.
Rong Zhan’s gaze swept over Princess Liuying’s face indifferently. After one glance, he withdrew his gaze. “If what Gu Qingxue said is true, and the plague spreads and the people are forced into a state of chaos, can the princess bear this responsibility?”
“I… Your Royal Highness, I am also thinking of the people. If we rashly sealed the village, this will cause many people to feel uneasy,” Princess Liuying said.
“It is better to feel uneasy than to lose your life, right? I would like to ask the people here. If the plague is real, do you want the people who have the plague to come to Qingyuan Town and infect you with the plague, or do you want us to settle the people who have the plague and protect your safety?” Gong Lingyu turned to ask the people behind her.
