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

362 You’re a Charlatan

The bitter medicine was a miracle medicine for the old village chief. He drank half of it in one go, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Village chief, after you drink this medicine, the high fever will be gone by tomorrow morning. You can hide the rest of the medicine secretly. When you drink half of it tomorrow and the next day, it should be enough to last until His Royal Highness returns,” Gu Qingxue lowered her voice, she reminded the old village chief worriedly.

The old village chief was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He held the water bag excitedly, he did his best to bow and thank Gu Qingxue, “Doctor Gu, no matter what others say, I believe that you are right. I have the plague. I know my body better than anyone else. If it weren’t for Lady Gu, we would have died long ago. We wouldn’t have had the chance to live until now!”

Seeing that the old village chief was so emotional that he started coughing hard, Gu Qingxue quickly reached out to Pat the old village chief on his back.

The old village chief’s expression immediately became much better. He let out a breath. “Doctor Gu, I’m very grateful that you’re willing to save me, but Lady Gu, don’t put yourself in danger because of me. It’s better for you to leave quickly.”

Gu Qingxue could not count on Ji Yan to delay her for too long, so she nodded in agreement. “Alright, then I will leave first. Village chief, you must be careful.”

The old village chief watched Gu Qingxue’s back as she left. It was only after she closed the door that she finally collapsed weakly.

“Doctor Gu is really a good person… It is a pity that she was wronged by someone who had intentions. When the prince regent returns, there will be someone who can support her.” The old village chief drank the medicine, his condition was no longer as bad as before. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

The old village chief had not slept for long when he suddenly heard a muffled sound.

The tightly shut door of the room was kicked open from the outside. A cold wind broke through the door and blew on the old village chief’s body.

The old village chief was forced to wake up. He raised his head and saw a few guards with lanterns forcefully breaking into his room.

Under the protection of the guards, Imperial Physician Qin slowly stepped over the threshold and entered the room.

The old village chief saw that Imperial Physician Qin was still dressed properly at this hour as if he had not rested for a long time. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

The old village chief gently hid the water bag given to him by Gu Qingxue under the quilt. He tried his best to prop himself up and nodded at imperial physician Qin, “Greetings, imperial physician. May I know why the imperial physician is here so late at night?”

Seeing that the old village chief was still trying to play dumb, imperial Physician Qin’s gaze was as sharp as a knife’s edge, he sneered, “Old village chief, you should still remember Prince Heng’s order. His Highness said that no one should continue to take the medicine given by Gu Qingxue. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy.”

The old village chief’s expression suddenly became very unsightly. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked.

From the other party’s stance, it was obvious that they did not intend to spare his life.

After the old village chief thought through the cause and effect, he was no longer afraid.

“Are you trying to use my life to threaten the people of our village? Let me tell you, you, you are just a charlatan. You can deceive others, but you can not deceive the people of our Tie Family Village. We are all very clear that Doctor Gu truly wants to save us, and all of you are just trying to calm things down. You don’t want to tell the world about the plague at all…” The old village chief became angrier the more he spoke. He had no strength left, and he kept coughing weakly.
