307 Must Have Been Set Up By Gu Qingxue
“Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard about it too. I don’t know what kind of grudge it is that one would want to trap the people of a village and say that you won’t let them in or give them out. Isn’t that going too far?” Another middle-aged man lowered his voice, he said with a look of disdain.
“Shh, don’t say too much. After all, they’re under the orders of the prince regent. If you continue to gossip here and others hear it, they’ll make you suffer. Let’s see what you’ll do by then!” The middle-aged man’s companion immediately tugged at him, he gave him a warning.
When the middle-aged man heard the prince regent’s great name, he immediately lowered his head and said weakly, “I, I was just sighing. Moreover, this matter was done by the lady who held the prince regent’s token. I reckon that His Royal Highness might not know about this matter yet!”
When Bing’er heard this, she suddenly clapped her hands excitedly and said, “That’s right! What you said is absolutely right! His Royal Highness most likely still doesn’t know about this matter! If that’s the case, the heavens are really helping me!”
When the passersby who were in a heated discussion saw Bing’er suddenly open her mouth, they all looked at Bing’er with a look as if they were looking at a fool. They looked at Bing’er speechlessly. Although they did not open their mouths, the way they looked at Bing’er was very strange. It was as if there was something seriously wrong with their brains.
Bing’er did not care about how the people present looked at her. She picked up the pastry in her hand and sped up as if she was flying toward the direction of the inn.
After entering the inn’s main door, Bing’er ran all the way and rushed into Princess Liuying’s room. “Princess! Princess, good news!”
A few days passed, and Princess Liuying’s cold was almost completely cured. However, she had always been living in luxury. After this serious illness, her mental state had greatly weakened. Seeing Bing’er rush into the room, she only glanced at her out of the corner of her eye.
Sitting on the soft couch, Princess Liuying was too lazy to move. She clicked her tongue and asked, “Why are you making such a big fuss about it? Look at your recklessness, you’re really embarrassing me.”
Bing’er’s enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. She quickly said, “Princess, it’s really a good thing! Gu Qingxue used His Royal Highness’s rights and ordered the subordinates of the county master to seal up a village!”
Princess Liuying, who was originally listless, suddenly became energetic after hearing these words, her keen eyes lit up. “Really? Hahaha, has this Gu Qingxue gone mad? Doesn’t she know that privately passing down His Royal Highness’ decree is a capital offense? Not to mention, she even ordered the officials to seal off the village. This is offending the public!”
Even if it was an order from the imperial court, sealing off the village was not a trivial matter.
She was worried that she could not find a way to deal with Gu Qingxue. Who knew that Gu Qingxue would actually take the initiative to come to her door and give her a chance? Wasn’t she courting death?
“Who says so? This Gu Qingxue is clearly courting death on purpose. This servant heard from the people on the road that a woman took the jade dragon pendant to the county magistrate’s office to look for the county magistrate. I knew that it must be Gu Qingxue’s doing…” Bing’er had just finished her sentence when she suddenly realized that she had said something wrong and quickly shut her mouth.
However, Bing’er was still a step too late. Her words were heard by Princess Liuying word for word.
Princess Liuying was so angry that a vein appeared on her forehead. She raised her hand and swept everything on the table onto the ground. “Jade dragon pendant? His Royal Highness actually gave the jade dragon pendant to her?”
