If not for the fact that she was still sad about the death of the old village chief, Gu Qingxue would have laughed out loud when she saw the poor acting skills of Imperial Physician Qin.
“No one can prove that what you said is true. Of course, I can’t prove what I said is true. Hunter Zhang can’t prove his words either. Words have no basis. If you can’t provide evidence, you can’t say that the old village chief died because he ate the medicine I gave him,” Gu Qingxue said calmly.
“I… I think what Doctor Gu said makes sense. Naturally, I’m not suspecting Hunter Zhang. It’s just that words have no basis,” Madam Peng said carefully.
When the villagers saw the old village chief pass away, they did not feel good.
They were all very sad, but they would not lose their rationality and accuse Gu Qingxue wrongly.
When Hunter Zhang saw this scene, he frowned in surprise. Then, he looked at Imperial Physician Qin at a loss.
Imperial Physician Qin glared at Hunter Zhang and used his eyes to warn him.
Hunter Zhang still dared to look at him at this time. Was it not obvious that he was arousing suspicion?
Princess Liuying also looked at the villagers with dissatisfaction, wondering why they suddenly became so calm.
They should immediately believe their companions’ words and then go against Gu Qingxue as a common enemy, right?
“Imperial Physician Qin is the same as me, he was sent by the imperial court. The deaths of the villagers of the Tie Family Village are of no benefit to us, we don’t need to trouble ourselves. Gu Qingxue, if you say that you didn’t do it, I can give you a chance to prove your innocence.” Prince Heng led his guards and strode over, they stood not far from the gate of the courtyard house.
The guards held torches high in their hands. After they dispersed, they surrounded the entire courtyard house and looked at Gu Qingxue covetously.
“Your Highness, if I prove my innocence, how will you deal with the people who wronged me?” Gu Qingxue asked in a cold tone as she looked at Hunter Zhang.
Since Hunter Zhang dared to harm her, she would never let him go.
Hunter Zhang only felt that Gu Qingxue’s eyes were full of coldness. Her sharp gaze landed on him, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
“I’m not lying. It’s you who caused the death of the village chief! If I’m wrong, I’m willing to pay any price!” Hunter Zhang said loudly with his neck stiffened.
Hearing Hunter Zhang’s brave words, Gu Qingxue was so angry that she laughed instead, “Alright.”
Princess Liuying was puzzled when she saw Gu Qingxue was still able to smile despite the current situation.
She almost suspected that Gu Qingxue had lost her mind. Otherwise, how could she be so calm in the face of such a dangerous situation?
Prince Heng was even more disdainful of Gu Qingxue’s reaction.
There was no evidence, so he did not believe that Gu Qingxue was capable of digging out the truth from the mouth of a dead person.
Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Qingxue walked to the side of the old village chief’s body and observed the condition of the body first.
The old village chief’s body was no longer warm. Because it was winter, his body became stiff much faster than usual. The old village chief’s body had already become stiff to a certain extent.
“I’d like to see what method Lady Gu intends to use to prove her innocence.” Imperial Physician Qin stood beside Gu Qingxue as if he did not mind watching the show.
After observing the old village chief, Gu Qingxue stood up. She looked around and said, “I want to dissect the body.”
