Fourth, the two of them came to the street to see a doctor as before, and there were still many people, lining up from one end of the street to the other.
Song Tangxue had lost a lot of weight in the past few days and hadn't been eating properly, focusing only on her treatment. Her body was starting to give out, and just as she was about to collapse, a slender hand handed her a medicine bottle.
"Go rest for a while. You'll feel much better after taking this pill."
Song Tangxue didn't try to hold on; if she collapsed, no one would be there to help the people.
Just then, a group of soldiers walked out of the crowd, carrying swords, and the people fled in terror.
The soldiers stood before Song Tangxue and her companion, their gleaming knives held against their necks, ready to kill them at a single command.
"The magistrate has ordered that you two leave Liaocheng immediately and never return."
It seems that the free medical consultations have greatly displeased some powerful figure behind the scenes, since they cannot use this as an opportunity to profit from the people's money.
Song Tangxue slowly walked over, and the call came later than she had expected. She had thought that these people would have gotten restless a few days ago, but they had managed to drag it out until today. Those people had quite a bit of patience.
"May I ask, sirs, what crime have we committed that warrants our expulsion from Liaocheng?"
"The magistrate's orders need no explanation; simply obey them!"
Song Tangxue sat down on the chair with an air of nonchalance, making it clear she wasn't going to leave, which successfully angered the guards in front of her. Even Shen Yuxuan was startled. When did her junior sister become so bold? She was clearly very scared when she first came to the valley.
"If you disobey orders, there will only be one outcome: death!"
The guards drew their swords and thrust them at Song Tangxue, who dodged their attacks with a flip and used the table to block them for a moment. Song Tangxue reached into her bosom and, just as they charged forward again, threw a handful of blood into their eyes, causing them to scream in agony.
"What did you just scatter?!"
Song Tangxue threw the useless bottle in her hand at them: "Of course it's a little gadget I made when I was bored. Although this kind of thing is not fatal, it will cause unbearable pain if it gets on your skin."
They felt their bones being crushed bit by bit, and just when they thought they were about to die, their bones healed again. They had never even heard of such a miraculous medicine before. Who exactly was this woman?
"Go back and tell the magistrate that if he wants to make a move against me in the future, let him come and do it himself!"
...
"She really said that?!" Upon hearing this, the magistrate angrily slammed his hand on the dark red wooden table, revealing fine cracks on its surface.
"In response to your question, Magistrate, that is indeed what the woman said. Moreover, she was extremely arrogant and disdainful of everyone, as if she were the master of Liaocheng."
"Good, very good!" He wanted to see just who this woman was, daring to run wild on his turf.
Song Tangxue treated the people as usual, but today the people seemed sullen, as if they had something to say to her.
"Two divine doctors, you have been treating our people during this period of treatment, and we are naturally very grateful. We only hope that you can mind your own business and leave Liaocheng as soon as possible. The county magistrate bullies the poor and fears the rich. If you offend him, you will definitely suffer the consequences."
"Yes, you'd better leave quickly. The imperial court is unwilling to treat us, and the Supreme God naturally dislikes us too. He will definitely make a move against you!"
The people in front of them only hoped that the miracle doctor would be safe and sound, and that he would not die here because of them. Such a good person should live a long and healthy life.
Song Tangxue felt a surge of emotion; all the time she had spent saving them had not been in vain. "Everyone, you don't need to worry. The county magistrate alone is definitely no match for me."
A mere county magistrate dared to spout such nonsense in front of the Crown Princess; he must be tired of living. Song Tangxue couldn't wait for the magistrate to come and teach him a lesson.
With this statement, the people were reassured, and the number of people coming to see the doctor increased. Naturally, this news reached the ears of the doctor, but after consulting the county magistrate, these people still refused to leave Liaocheng, so the doctor could no longer restrain himself.
In particular, Song Tangxue, who came here as usual to treat the people, was in the midst of a consultation when an angry voice rang out from behind the crowd.
"This is outrageous! They're just two hotheads, yet they dare to offer medical treatment here! People, do you know that these two are quacks? You're playing with your lives!"
A group of white-bearded old men shouted indignantly.
They all had the same white beards, but the old man in the valley looked much cuter than them.
“You say we are quacks, but have you produced any evidence? We have been treating people here all this time, and we have never heard of anyone being harmed.”
Their demeanor is comparable to that of quack doctors. They actually think that just because they've prescribed a few medicines, they can become doctors. Many people who weren't in such poor health initially got sick because of a few prescriptions they got from them!
"Yes, Doctor Xue is beautiful and kind-hearted. My son had a high fever, so I got a few prescriptions from her, and he got better after taking them at home."
The common people did not know Song Tangxue's real name, but only called her Doctor Xue.
The plague broke out in Liaocheng, but Doctor Xue cured it all. In fact, the so-called plague was just that they had let the disease linger for too long, which made it more serious. It was not the plague they were talking about.
"They got their prescriptions from me. They come to me every night to get their prescriptions filled. Do you really think they're some kind of expert?"
The people looked at the doctor with suspicion. After all, they weren't fools. They had seen a doctor there before, spending all their savings, and their illness hadn't improved.
"You two must leave Liaocheng immediately. We do not welcome outsiders!"
"Are you done talking?" Song Tangxue remained silent throughout.
Shen Yuxuan looked at her with some concern, not for Song Tangxue, but for these people. In the past few days, he had discovered that his junior sister was a vengeful person. If anyone deliberately provoked her, she would definitely retaliate.
"That's all I have to say. Do you have anything else to say? If not, then get out of here right now!"
"Get lost?" Song Tangxue chuckled, sending a bad feeling through them. "What...what are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at your overestimation of yourselves. But if the Emperor knew that you doctors dared to be so aggressive towards the Crown Princess, wouldn't that be considered disrespect for the Emperor's authority?"
She's actually the Crown Princess!
This news caused a sensation in everyone's hearts. They had already guessed that Song Tangxue was quite powerful, but they never expected that it was related to His Highness the Crown Prince.
