363 Send Someone to Capture Gu Qingxue
Imperial Physician Qin’s expression turned extremely unsightly as he reprimanded sternly, “Impudent! It’s clearly Gu Qingxue who thinks she’s clever! If you really have the cadaveric rash, it’s impossible that the illness hasn’t spread!”
Imperial Physician Qin was able to become the head of the imperial hospital, so he naturally had two sets of skills.
He also knew about the cadaveric rash and knew that this illness was comparable to hell. If the people of the Tie Family Village had really contracted this illness, the plague would have spread long ago. How could it be controlled in the Tie Family Village?
It was also because he was sure that his diagnosis was correct that Imperial Physician Qin could not stand the fact that the village chief and the villagers were on Gu Qingxue’s side.
The old village chief rolled his eyes, he continued, “That’s because Doctor Gu’s traditional Chinese medicine is brilliant. She used a decoction to suppress the plague. You just don’t want to admit that Doctor Gu is stronger than you. What kind of doctor are you…”
Imperial Physician Qin heard the old village chief’s rebuke, and the expression on his face was completely twisted with anger. “Send him on his way.”
The guards immediately went forward. One of them grabbed the old village chief’s arm, while the other forcefully pried open his mouth. Then, they poured a small bottle of posion directly into his throat.
Gulp!
The old village chief’s illness was beyond cure. There was no room for resistance at all. He was forced to drink the poison.
The poison tasted extremely bitter. After the old village chief was forced to swallow it, he struggled with all his might.
The guards were certain that the old village chief had already drunk the poison, so they let him go.
The old village chief panicked and used all his strength to dig out the poison that had flowed into his throat.
However, he could not do it at all. The poison’s medicinal effects spread rapidly. The old village chief’s face quickly turned red from holding it in and he reached out to cover his heart.
A terrible pain came from his heart, and the old village chief felt as if his chest was about to explode!
“You, you… !” The old village chief raised a hand weakly and pointed at Imperial Physician Qin. Suddenly, he could not catch his breath, and his head fell on the bed. He rolled his eyes and lost his breath.
Imperial Physician Qin smiled indifferently and continued to instruct his guards, “Take the body with you and come with me.”
The guards immediately left the courtyard with the old village chief’s body and went straight to Gu Qingxue’s residence.
On this side, Gu Qingxue had just returned to the courtyard house where she lived when she suddenly felt a sense of disharmony.
There were other people in the courtyard house where she lived.
After Gu Qingxue confirmed this, she immediately wanted to leave vigilantly.
However, the people in the courtyard house had been waiting for her for a long time, so they wouldn’t give her any chance to escape.
Gu Qingxue clearly heard a berating voice coming from the side room.
“Gu Qingxue, don’t even think about running away. I knew you didn’t have any good intentions. I came to the courtyard house to guard it just now, just to wait for you to walk into the trap.” Princess Liuying walked out of the side room, dressed neatly and surrounded by a group of guards, and came out of the wing room.
Gu Qingxue looked at Princess Liuying, not surprised at all. “In order to catch me, the princess is really taking an effort.”
Princess Liuying heard the sarcasm in Gu Qingxue’s words, efforts to suppress her heart-burning anger. “Gu Qingxue, I know you want to provoke me. However, I might as well tell you, it’s not that easy. I’m not someone you can offend. Men, take Gu Qingxue down!”
Gu Qingxue took a step back and took out the jade dragon pendant, “I have the jade dragon pendant given by the prince regent. I’m qualified to participate in the treatment of the plague. You can’t catch me!”
