Chapter 99 Don't actually get killed
"How dare you!" The Princess of Xixia pointed her whip at the people blocking her way. "Are all the people of Dongling so unreasonable?!"
“It was clearly her who tried to rub against me that made me whip her away.”
"And I only wanted to scare her, I didn't intend to do anything to her?"
"The whip only touched her lightly."
"You touched her?" a man in the crowd said. "Even though I'm a man, I know how inappropriate it is for a woman to be pregnant."
"She's so heavy, it's already difficult for her to walk. Why don't you let her have some space?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, many people around him echoed, "Yes, what happened to the Princess of Xixia?"
"Wasn't the Princess of Western Xia still defeated by our Eastern Mausoleum?"
"You come to our Dongling territory and instead of keeping your tail between your legs, you act so arrogantly!"
"Yes, who cares if she's a princess or a noblewoman from Western Xia? Hitting someone is unacceptable!"
"Yes, no way!"
"......"
Upon seeing this, the Princess of Xixia raised her hand, gripping the whip tightly, and shouted, "You unruly commoners! How dare you!"
Just as she was about to strike with the whip, Jiang Wan Ning, who had just finished dealing with the pregnant woman, turned around and saw the Princess of Xixia's whip striking a child in the crowd.
Jiang Wanning quickly stepped forward and shielded the little girl in her arms.
After a long while, the whip still didn't fall.
"Your Highness?"
Jiang Wan Ning turned around, and Pei Yan Chuan's hand was tightly gripping the whip.
"How dare you!" The Princess of Xixia forcefully pulled her wrist back, but Pei Yanchuan held the whip firmly.
Not only did he fail to pull it back, but he was also nearly pulled down himself.
Jiang Wanning comforted the little girl, then turned to Pei Yanchuan and said, "Your Highness, what about those two people over there?"
Pei Yanchuan released his grip, and the Princess of Xixia nearly stumbled.
I took a few steps back before I could stand still.
"Mo Qing, arrest him."
"yes."
Mo Qing grabbed two men who were leading the commotion in the crowd.
"What are you doing? What right do you have to arrest us?"
The man twisted his body, "Is it because the other party is a princess of Xixia that we common people dare not tell the truth?"
"Yeah, why are they arresting us?"
"......"
"On what grounds?" Jiang Wan Ning said coldly, "On the grounds that you deliberately incited the crowd to cause trouble in my shop."
The man's eyes darted around. "What...what did you say? I don't understand."
"We're just trying to be kind. Do you think you, the shopkeeper, are trying to make things difficult for us just to curry favor with foreigners?"
"Yes, don't forget you're from Dongling, and you run a shop in Dongling territory. Why are you siding with foreigners?"
The man quickly roused the crowd with just a few words.
"Miss, something terrible has happened!" Just then, Haitang rushed over. "The woman is having a difficult childbirth, and the midwife can't help her either."
"They said the child's head was stuck and couldn't get out."
"Listen to this, everyone! This princess of Xixia killed someone and their unborn child with a single whipping."
"This shopkeeper is actually helping this foreign princess."
"Why don't we just smash up her shop!"
"Yes, smash her shop. This kind of person doesn't deserve to be a Dongling native and open a shop in Dongling."
"I heard that this shop is owned by the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan's family."
"No wonder, it turns out that someone is backing him up. The Prince of Langya is arrogant because of his merits, and the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan actually protected foreigners in public."
"It seems that the Prince of Langya has a good relationship with foreigners."
"Who knows if there's something shady going on behind the scenes?"
"......"
The man led the crowd to smash tables and chairs inside the shop, making so much noise that pedestrians outside stopped to watch.
Pei Yanchuan drew Mo Ran's sword with a backhand and pressed it against the neck of the leading man, and the room instantly fell silent.
"Go and fetch the prefect. If anyone causes trouble again, deal with them on the spot!"
"Yes." Mo Ran quickly went out.
"Please calm down, everyone. The most important thing right now is the safety of the pregnant woman."
“Once everyone is better, we will give them an explanation.” After saying this, Jiang Wan Ning turned to look at Princess Xixia. “In the meantime, I hope that Princess will not leave.”
"The government will decide right and wrong, and fairness will prevail."
"No, why should we?" someone shouted. "Why is he pointing his sword at us? I think you're all on her side."
"Even when the government officials come, they protect each other."
"How dare you!" Mo Qing shouted coldly, "My master is the Prince of Langya."
Upon hearing that it was the Prince of Langya, the ringleaders exchanged bewildered glances and involuntarily took a few steps back.
"We will certainly give everyone an explanation for what happened today."
"However, during this period, anyone who deliberately incites trouble will be executed on the spot!"
For a moment, no one dared to utter a sound.
The Princess of Xixia said, "I'll wait then, but I don't trust the officials of your Dongling people. I'll send my own people."
"Whatever," Pei Yanchuan said coldly.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Jiang Wan Ning lifted her skirt and hurried towards the private room.
As I approached the door, I saw Yu Hai pacing back and forth. "Ah Hai, how are you?"
“Miss Jiang, you’ve come at the right time. She needs a cesarean section now.”
"But men and women shouldn't touch each other, so you'll have to be the surgeon. I've already found the surgical supplies for you. I'll be standing outside. If anything happens, just let me know."
As a doctor, Yu Hai could not stand by and watch someone die.
However, due to the strict separation of men and women in ancient times, he had no way to enter.
Jiang Wan Ning took the things and nodded, "Don't worry."
During this period, she studied medicine day and night and has become capable of handling things independently. She has experimented with this abdominal surgery on various animals no less than a thousand times.
Not long after Jiang Wan Ning went inside, the midwife opened the door and rushed out.
He shouted, "Something terrible has happened! Murder! Murder!"
"What's all the noise about? What happened?" Shen Ruzhi grabbed the midwife by the collar. "Who killed someone?"
The midwife trembled all over, "They...they cut open the woman's stomach."
Everyone knew who the midwives were referring to when they said "themselves".
"Shut up!" Shen Ruzhi covered the midwife's mouth. "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Ningning is saving people."
"To save someone, you have to cut open their stomach. What kind of method is this? I've never heard of it before."
"Are you trying to kill this pregnant woman to frame us?"
"That's not how it is," Shen Ruzhi shouted, "Why would you kill her if there's no grudge against her?"
"It's still in your own shop, can't you use your brains?"
"I think you're just afraid that the pregnant woman will wake up. To be honest, you're deliberately helping this Xixia princess."
"Yes, I've never heard of the Marquis of Ningyuan's eldest daughter knowing medicine."
“You…you all…” Shen Ruzhi jumped up and down anxiously.
Pei Yanchuan glanced indifferently at the crowd and said calmly, "I will take full responsibility for anything that happens."
"Before that, if anyone causes trouble, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
Everyone then fell silent, after all, the person in front of them was the Prince of Langya.
The Princess of Xixia rushed to the door of the private room upstairs, asking anxiously, "Can't it be done without you guys?"
"Don't actually kill him."
