But at that moment, the man began to struggle violently again.

You should know that these guards are all skilled fighters; they would never come to protect Song Tangxue if they weren't powerful.

But these people were unable to control the man, allowing him to break free.

"Quickly, pin him down!"

Seeing that the man was struggling more and more violently, Song Tangxue quickly said something and opened the medicine box to take out the medicine.

But at that moment, the man suddenly stopped moving and just lay there quietly on the ground.

Even the guards were frightened, some looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

"My poor husband..."

The young woman began to wail again, her voice trembling with sobs, and at that moment, the crowd of onlookers finally erupted in protest.

"Perhaps Princess Yong'an's rescue was all a deliberate scheme to bribe people to deceive us, just to steal our money today!"

A commoner standing nearby was extremely excited and spoke up.

After he finished speaking, the people around him immediately started chiming in, and the scene quickly became uncontrollable.

The guards and attendants quickly surrounded the common people. Xie Qianzhong realized the situation was dire and knew that saying anything more would be useless at this point.

"Please be quiet, everyone. I have already sent someone to inform the government. They will send a coroner to investigate the truth shortly!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the men who had fallen to the ground with him also fell silent instantly.

"So what if the authorities come? They'll definitely protect you!"

The young woman said in great sorrow, and perhaps because of her grief, she fainted.

And then, someone in the crowd started throwing vegetable leaves and eggs.

The target was obviously Song Tangxue. Before Song Tangxue could even react, she was hit on the head with an egg.

She was momentarily stunned. Everything she had done was for the people, but she never expected it to turn out like this.

These people don't believe in themselves; they seem to only believe what they see!

Song Tangxue's expression became quite complicated. She didn't even flinch, but stood still and let them throw things at her.

"Are you out of your mind? Get out of here! These people have lost their minds!"

Xie Qianzhong spoke sternly, but after he finished speaking, he saw that Song Tangxue still did not react at all.

He pulled Song Tangxue aside and quickly left the scene.

Meng Youyu did not go with them, but stayed behind. When the officials came, someone would definitely need to be there.

Xie Qianzhong knew perfectly well that all of this was a conspiracy.

Despite their best efforts to prevent it, they never expected that this group would go to such lengths.

"Why don't you just rest at home for the next couple of days? I'll definitely find out what happened."

Having arrived at a secluded place, where only the two of them were, Xie Qianzhong said with deep concern.

Song Tangxue remained silent, her eyes filled with utter despair and a hint of blankness.

Perhaps he was heartbroken by the people's actions earlier, which is why he did this.

Song Tangxue still didn't answer, and Xie Qianzhong stopped talking and quickly helped her wash her face.

After washing her face, Song Tangxue suddenly asked blankly.

"Was I in a terrible state just now?"

She was insulted like that, and the people did not believe anything she had done in the past.

He possessed exceptional medical skills and had saved countless lives, yet now he was treated like a rat in the street, hated by everyone!

Song Tangxue was heartbroken. After saying that, she gave a cold laugh, revealing a smile that was full of sarcasm.

Xie Qianzhong had to stay calm. If he panicked because he was at a disadvantage, the situation would become even more difficult to control.

He shook his head decisively, immediately grabbed Song Tangxue's hand, and made her look at him seriously.

"Don't forget that there are too many people who want to bring you down. They have power, and if they want to bribe a few people to spend a lot of money to slander you, it's an easy thing."

After he finished speaking, he also mentioned what Song Tangxue was most bothered by.

"As for what happened today, you must not be sad, because there is a strange person in this crowd who is deliberately controlling everyone's emotions."

As he spoke, the noise outside continued unabated, indicating that the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to control.

Song Tangxue finally regained some of her composure. She composed herself, her expression turning blank, and frowned, as if deep in thought.

They must have taken Xie Qianzhong's words to heart, and Xie Qianzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

But some things still needed to be said, so he continued.

"You must not give in now, this is exactly what they want, and we must not let them succeed!"

"I had considered that someone might cause trouble today, but I didn't expect them to prepare such a big gift for me."

Song Tangxue finally calmed down and began to analyze the situation calmly, even glancing at Xie Qianzhong at the end.

"Four lives were lost. They really went to great lengths to bring me down to the bottom of society, so that I could never rise again!"

If this matter is not properly resolved, I'm afraid I'll be criticized for the rest of my life.

What good are the things done in the past? They only care about the present; no one thinks about the past.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bodyguard appeared on the spot.

"Sir, someone in the crowd is deliberately leading the conversation. The slightly overweight man is the one who keeps talking, and there are several other people doing the same."

"Go and observe this person secretly, and investigate everything around him, but be careful not to alert him."

Xie Qianzhong was not surprised at all. He gave the order directly and did not forget to add a word of advice.

"Furthermore, when the officials arrive, they must conduct an autopsy on the spot!"

The symptoms of these people's deaths were exactly the same, which clearly indicates that it was intentional. To achieve this effect, they must have taken poison beforehand.

The guard accepted the order and quickly left.

After that, Song Tangxue stopped talking.

But she was already calculating in her mind who could be so malicious as to target her.

Song Tangxue had thought about Song Tangli, but felt that for the Emperor, especially in the eyes of outsiders, they were bound together by honor and disgrace.

If she herself falls into trouble, how can Song Tangli, as the Crown Princess, remain secure?

"I'd rather take you back first; this place is not safe to stay any longer."

Xie Qianzhong suddenly interrupted Song Tangxue's thoughts, and this matter was already very clear; someone must have deliberately sabotaged it.

Upon hearing this suggestion, Song Tangxue shook her head immediately and looked decisively at Xie Qianzhong.

"No, I absolutely cannot leave."

Xie Qianzhong couldn't force the issue, so he could only nod, but he never let go of Song Tangxue's hand.

The authorities quickly arrived and brought the scene under control, but the people did not leave; instead, their numbers grew larger and larger.

The entire street, inside and out, was filled with onlookers.
