Chapter 383 - 383 Gu Qingxue, Have You Eaten a Bear’s Heart or a Leopard’s Guts?
383 Gu Qingxue, Have You Eaten a Bear’s Heart or a Leopard’s Guts?
If the three of them were really in danger of losing their lives, if the emperor were to blame Gu Qingxue, it would be difficult for her to explain herself.
“Your Highness, I will go in and report this in a moment.” Ji Yan cupped his hands in a businesslike manner and turned around to enter the courtyard house as he spoke.
Princess Liuying could barely stand. She had been vomiting and having diarrhea for several days, and her legs had gone soft. “That damned Gu Qingxue, she could have let us in, but she insisted on making us wait outside the door!”
Imperial Physician Qin was also displeased when he heard this.
Considering their statuses, which one of them was not nobler than Gu Qingxue?
However, their lives were at stake. Even if their statuses were noble, they still had to come to Gu Qingxue to ask for her help.
They had no choice but to lower their heads under the eaves. The three of them held it in. After standing for a while, they finally saw Gu Qingxue in a purple and blue long dress walking out of the courtyard indifferently, holding a bowl of soup in her hands and wearing a cloak.
Gu Qingxue stood high above them. Her appearance and bearing were vastly different from the three of them who were in a sorry state.
“Greetings, Prince Heng,” Gu Qingxue greeted them perfunctorily. After observing the reactions of the three of them, she smiled slowly, “It seems that the plague that the three of you are suffering from is indeed very serious… Oh, look at my memory. According to Imperial Physician Qin, the plague that the three of you are suffering from is not a plague. It’s just an ordinary acne.”
Imperial Physician Qin was so angry that he almost fainted.
However, no matter how humiliated Imperial Physician Qin felt, he had to endure it. “Lady Gu, it was my fault, I misdiagnosed…”
Gu Qingxue’s reaction was extremely cold when she heard that. “It’s common for people to be inferior to others, but Imperial Physician Qin killed someone by mistake and tried to use the death of innocent people to frame me. I want to settle this debt with Imperial Physician Qin.”
Seeing Gu Qingxue’s sharp gaze, Imperial Physician Qin was so scared that the hair on his back stood up.
“Miss Gu, you can do whatever you want to Imperial Physician Qin. I was the one who misunderstood you about what happened earlier. Actually, I didn’t mean it. It was all because I was bewitched by Imperial Physician Qin that I misunderstood you,” Prince Heng said with a pained expression, he raised his foot and landed it on the back of Imperial Physician Qin’s knee.
Imperial Physician Qin was so weak that he could not withstand the kick at all.
After his legs went soft, he fell to his knees with a plop.
Prince Heng’s berating voice came from above Imperial Physician Qin’s head, “Imperial Physician Qin, it was all because of your misdiagnosis. Not only did you not have good medical skills, but you even tried to frame Miss Gu. How can I tolerate a person like you who has committed so many evil deeds? Hurry up and apologize to Miss Gu!”
Gu Qingxue looked at what Prince Heng had done and felt that this man in front of her had really portrayed the word ‘shameless’ to perfection.
It was clear that Prince Heng was the one who was to blame for everything, yet he had the nerve to push the blame onto Imperial Physician Qin.
However, Gu Qingxue had no interest in speaking up for imperial physician Qin.
If they wanted to have a dog-eat-dog relationship, then let them be. She had no interest in stopping them.
Imperial Physician Qin’s face was full of humiliation, but he had no choice but to comply with Prince Heng’s words. “Everything is my fault. After my body recovers, I’m willing to pay any price. Please save us, Miss Gu…”
“I’ve always been a magnanimous person. As long as the Your Highness and the princess bow and apologize, all the previous misunderstandings can be written off,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.
Princess Liuying, who had been silent due to humiliation, could not hold it in anymore when she heard these words. “Gu Qingxue, have you eaten a bear’s heart or a leopard’s courage? My father is a prince while I’m a princess!”
