Her true identity was that of the real daughter of the Jiang residence, who had been swapped at birth. Everyone said her good fortune had finally arrived; she had a powerful and influential father,...
Chapter 99: Could it be that the sisters share the same husband?
Before she could dismount, she saw a thin figure running out of the tent.
"Miss!"
Jiang Qingyue seemed not to hear, and her petite figure ran like a gust of wind.
Yuxiao quickly got off the horse and chased after Jiang Qingyue.
The collapsed shed was already home to seriously ill patients, many of whom were barely hanging on.
The shed itself was a bit unstable, and it had just snowed heavily, so the beams were broken and the wood fell down, burying several people inside.
Jiang Qingyue didn't have time to think about it and only wanted to save people.
Yuxiao rushed over and saw that only Jiang Qingyue was clinging to the beams and Canxue to save people.
The Seventh Prince's guards just stood by and watched.
"Miss!"
She helped Jiang Qingyue to save people and didn't care about anything else.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at the guards and immediately shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you save them quickly?"
Because of her anxiety, Jiang Qingyue's voice was a little sharp, but not harsh.
But these guards remained indifferent.
These are people who have been infected with the plague and they don't want to be infected.
"The Seventh Prince has been ordered to resettle the refugees. It's already the end of the year. If there are heavy casualties, and the court investigates, the Seventh Prince will be held accountable to you."
It was not until Jiang Qingyue finished saying this that a guard bravely spoke.
"Miss Jiang San, it's not that we don't want to help, but those diseases are contagious."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Qingyue shouted loudly, and her eyes in the night revealed an indescribable aura.
Several guards looked at each other.
Jiang Qingyue had only been here for one day, and she had only been seeing patients and prescribing medicine. Apart from that, I hadn't seen her do anything else.
With so many people present, no one believed her.
"Asshole! I'm the legitimate sister of Princess Duanyang, and I'm also the doctor sent by Concubine Wan to treat her illness. In the future, I'm going to marry into the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Now that the Seventh Prince is away, why don't you listen to me?"
Isn’t it Princess Duanyang who married into the Seventh Prince’s Mansion?
Why does she want to marry him?
Could it be that the sisters share the same husband?
Finally, someone had some conscience and helped everyone rescue the people first.
But in the end, it was too late. The roof beams fell down and five people died.
A mother cried heart-wrenchingly as she hugged her son who was killed by a beam.
"This is outside the city of Yanjing, right under the feet of the emperor. Why is the court letting us go? Why can't we enter Yanjing? Even if we are seriously ill and worried about infecting others, shouldn't we be given a place to shelter from the wind and rain?"
"Yes, we pay taxes every year. We are also citizens of Daqi. Why did the court abandon us and leave us to die?"
"I heard that the city gates have been guarded by the government. Will they close the gates next, regardless of our lives?"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The harsh tone hidden in the anger made it difficult to detect.
But someone heard it.
Jiang Qingyue looked over and recognized that the two foreigners were indeed the ones who spoke first.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and all the accumulated resentment of the people suddenly surged up.
"Why should I wait here to die while those officials can enjoy themselves in the city?"
"We just want to survive, why do you force us to this point?"
"They said they would resettle us, but they chased us out of the city and didn't care whether we lived or died. What kind of resettlement is that?"
"Dog officer!"
"You dog official!!"
…
They attacked and surrounded Jiang Qingyue and the others. Some of them picked up mud mixed with snow from the ground and threw it at them.
Yuxiao protected Jiang Qingyue by her side with a vigilant look.
Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to hurt the lady will be killed!
The guards were afraid of being infected, so no one came to rescue the affected people.
But now, facing these people who wanted to rebel, the guards immediately drew their swords and fought back.
If there is any rebellion under the emperor's feet, the crime will be to execute all nine generations of the clan.
I don’t know who threw something over, but the force was so accurate and fierce that the person who did it must be someone who knows martial arts.
But the next moment, Yuxiao just raised her hand, and the thing fell at Jiang Qingyue's feet.
She looked down and saw it was a stone.
Jiang Qingyue's heart sank.
If it weren’t for Yuxiao, her right eye would have been blinded by this thing!
She looked up and saw that the person who had attacked her had already blended in with the people and disappeared.
In an instant, she broke out in a cold sweat.
The only people here who know martial arts are the foreigners.
They were inciting the people, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to hurt her. After all, she had just revealed her identity, being the sister of the Duanyang County Lady and planning to marry into the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
If she is hurt, the Jiang family will definitely not let it go, and these people will have the opportunity to take advantage of the trouble-making people to incite rebellion.
Jiang Qingyue was terrified, but she couldn't show any fear.
"Everyone, listen to me. Let's rush into Yanjing City and seek justice from the Emperor!"
After saying that, someone actually wanted to fight with the guards.
"stop!"
Jiang Qingyue shouted to stop him.
"I'm not an imperial official, so I don't understand the court's rules. They must have their reasons for blocking us outside Yanjing City. But don't worry, I'm here, as is the Seventh Prince."
"Your Highness is a noble man. The court cannot just sit there and do nothing. The court will definitely find a way to save everyone's life."
Her tone suddenly darkened. "But if anyone incites unrest, outside the Emperor's gates, outside the city of Yanjing, it will be a crime of treason, and everyone will die."
Jiang Qingyue didn't expect everyone to understand what she said, but everyone was well aware of the crime of treason.
Now she can only move Chu Hean out to suppress the situation for a while.
When Chu Hean comes back, these matters will no longer be her responsibility.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, many people became shaken and dared not cause trouble again.
But those few Gentiles still wailed and clamored about the injustice of the world.
"But my son is dead."
The mother, holding her son who was crushed to death, tried to rush forward unwillingly, but was forced back by the sharp sword in the hands of the guards.
The atmosphere was already tense, and when the people saw the guards draw their swords, they surrounded them again.
Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well die quickly. There's no telling whether I can fight my way out.
Yuxiao protected her master and blocked Jiang Qingyue behind her.
"Dad! Someone come quickly, my dad is dying!"
Suddenly, someone started crying out, the voice was shrill and miserable.
Jiang Qingyue was about to go check it out but was stopped by Yuxiao.
"Miss, you can't go."
"I'm a doctor, get out of the way!"
Jiang Qingyue pushed Yuxiao's hand away and ran over.
The people consciously made way for him, but when they reached Jiang Qingyue, the old man was already dead.
Jiang Qingyue remained calm and immediately gave the old man an acupuncture injection for first aid.
Yu Xiao's eyes darkened, "Miss, he is dead."
Jiang Qingyue acted as if she hadn't heard anything.
The old man's children cried bitterly, and when they saw Jiang Qingyue was still going to give acupuncture, his daughter finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Miss, my father has passed away."
Jiang Qingyue gritted her teeth, a thin layer of sweat already on her forehead.
"If I didn't say death, your father wouldn't die!"
