"Doctor, do you mean that the fifth prince's concubine cut open the belly of a pregnant woman with her own hands?" someone asked in shock.
The doctor nodded, with a face full of sorrow: "I shouted hoarse and tried my best to stop her, but unfortunately she was so soft-spoken that I couldn't do anything at all. It's ridiculous that I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I could only watch her kill two lives with her own hands. It's a pity that the lady died tragically when she was six months pregnant.
I have to endure such humiliation."
After saying that, he still held up his sleeves to wipe away his tears, looking miserable.
"Isn't that lady's husband also there? And I saw the imperial doctor also go up. The clothes are from the palace, right? The imperial doctors in the palace can't do anything, and they don't stop it either?
"Someone said doubtfully.
"Yes, that person is Xibohou. Even if the fifth prince's concubine is the emperor's daughter-in-law, there is no reason why Xibohou can't stop him. Besides, there is also an imperial doctor. How can a yellow-haired girl take the turn to do anything?
disease."
"No, even humble people like us don't believe that you can survive after being disemboweled. It's impossible for officials like them not to know this."
Although everyone was somewhat convinced, they still remained skeptical.
The doctor sighed and said in a disappointed tone: "The Xibohou was also strongly opposed to it at the beginning. After all, everyone knows that unless he is a repeat offender, his body will not be left intact after death. It is obviously impossible for the lady to survive. Why?
She should have been allowed to go peacefully, but after the imperial doctor came, I don’t know what he said to Xibohou, but Xibohou actually agreed."
"What, Xibohou agreed to do this?"
"I heard that Xibohou and his wife were a young couple and had a very good relationship. I didn't expect it to be false. If they were really that good, how could they agree to such a thing after knowing that the wife would not survive."
"The reason for the good relationship is probably because of his official position. After all, officials are very protective of their reputation. If someone has a reputation of loving his wife, it will always give people the illusion that he is a decent and upright person, and he will be promoted quickly."
"That's right, maybe Xibohou has longed for his wife to die. After all, he is only in his forties now. It is not difficult to marry a young and beautiful woman. By then, he will not be able to have as many children as he wants."
The common people have imagined a bloody drama, and all kinds of conspiracy theories have come out.
Xibohou seemed to have become the representative of the heartless man in their hearts.
"No, we can't let that poor lady die in vain. All of us here are witnesses to this incident. We not only want to attack the fifth prince's behavior, but also let everyone know who Xibohou is!"
The response was resounding, and the crowd who had originally attacked Hua Yanxi for riding on horseback became even more indignant, and some perpetrators even rushed directly into the inn.
What they didn't notice was that while they were having a heated discussion, the doctor who had been so compassionate just now had disappeared.
But the coachman was still there, and when he heard the news, he was secretly happy.
Upstairs, Hua Yanxi finally completed the entire operation and was cleaning it with disinfectant.
The smell of blood on her body was too strong, which made her frown.
"Madam's wound has been sutured, but it is not convenient to move at this time. It is best to rest here temporarily until the wound scabs over."
At this moment, Xibohou felt nothing but gratitude to Hua Yanxi. He nodded repeatedly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a burst of footsteps downstairs, as if the stairs were about to be trampled down.
"Go and see what's going on. Madam needs to rest at the moment. Go tell the shopkeeper to book this inn and drive out all the idlers." Xibohou frowned.
The shopkeeper ran in in a panic and told the situation outside with a grimace.
The shopkeeper's voice was mixed with shouts from outside.
"Looking for me?" Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows.
The shopkeeper made a grimace: "Fifth Princess, these are stupid people who make noises when they don't know what's going on. But now they have surrounded my shop, and even the little one can't get out even if he wants to report it to the official."
"Shopkeeper, they broke the door!" The waiter's voice came from downstairs.
"The door is squeezed through? How many people are here?" Hua Yanxi was surprised. There were indeed many people on the road just now, but it has been so long, why haven't they dispersed yet?
Don’t people need to eat now to watch the excitement?
I’ve heard that people can drink enough water to satisfy themselves, but I’ve never heard of people who can still be hungry just by watching the excitement.
Hua Yanxi cursed as she walked out.
Imperial Doctor Hu chased her out anxiously: "Fifth Prince Concubine, don't go. You, a weak woman, are no match for them. Let's hide."
Hua Yanxi was still walking forward, but the people at the stairs had already seen her, pointed at her and said: "That's her, she's the vicious fifth prince who hit someone and refused to repent, and even cut the body open."
Hua Yanxi's mouth twitched slightly when she heard such a long prefix.
With a "swish" sound, the eyes of the people who were pouring in fell on Hua Yanxi.
Behind them, busybodies continued to squeeze into the inn.
One of the inn's doors is already lying on the ground, and the other one is also crumbling.
Many people still held weapons in their hands, looking like they were trying to do something for heaven. The scene was very chaotic.
After all, Hua Yanxi's status is that of the prince's concubine. Normally, these people would still care about class relations to some extent, but now that they are united, they are ready to stand up and call the shots.
Another person in the crowd shouted: "She is right there. Let's arrest her. The government dare not let us take care of her! People like her should burn her to death directly, leaving her bones intact!"
"Burn her, burn her!"
There was a response, and the voice was deafening throughout the inn.
"Watch carefully, the stairs under your feet are already shaking. Can they withstand the weight of so many of you?" Hua Yanxi said in a cool tone.
Many people had already felt the shaking of the stairs. After hearing this, they subconsciously looked down, looking at each other, hesitant.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. If I stand here, can I still fly to the sky and escape to the earth? But if this inn collapses, then you will see the Lord of Hell before me." Hua Yanxi said in a cool tone.
Immediately, people began to retreat down the stairs. Seeing that fewer people were writing forward, someone started talking again in a corner of the hall.
"So what if you die! Even if we die, we will pull you together to avenge that poor mother and son!"
Hua Yanxi narrowed her eyes, locked onto that person, and looked at several places at the same time.
These people were incited by others.
As for who it is, Hua Yanxi knows it in her heart. Those who have been so impatient to let her die these days can only be the Jiang family.
She even suspected that the sudden breakage of the carriage wheel might not have been an accident.
