Chapter 1355 Come, Set the Village Ablaze for This Prince!
The wind blew, the grass swayed, stirring up unease.
The next hour passed in tense anticipation for everyone.
"Feng Yexuan is still inside, and they've already made arrangements to deal with me?"
Chu Minghao was so enraged he nearly leaped from the couch.
His violent movement sent a fresh wave of pain through his backside.
But he refused to yield.
Missing this chance to eliminate Chu Qianli meant he didn't know when he'd be able to kill that wench!
However, the wench and Feng Yexuan were once again united, making him grind his teeth in hatred.
Hadn't they broken ties before?
Where was that beauty by Feng Yexuan's side? With Chu Qianli's temperament, how could she not be bothered?
He couldn't fathom what she was thinking, to still have the audacity to be with Feng Yexuan.
"No, all of you, be ready for me. As soon as a corpse is carried out from the critical care area, it will prove Chu Qianli's medical skills are lacking."
Supported by his guards, he slowly stood up, enduring the pain. He donned his outer robe and walked towards the door.
"I will personally stand guard. As soon as someone dies there, it will be Chu Qianli's dereliction of duty. I will punish her on behalf of the royal family!"
His guards helped Chu Minghao to a spot not far from the critical care area.
Just a little further ahead was where Xi Jiu maintained his vigil.
Currently, Chu Minghao's men were not advancing, and Xi Jiu's men were not approaching. Both sides were in a standoff.
Gui Tong, who was still recovering from his injuries, rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Your Highness, think twice! She is, after all, a princess. You cannot... cannot kill her..."
He lowered his voice on the last word, not daring to let others hear.
For His Highness to want to kill the princess was simply madness!
"What if she is a princess who has contracted the plague?"
Chu Minghao shot him a displeased glare. "A princess with the plague, instead of hiding and recuperating, she goes around harming others! She even wants to return to the imperial city and spread the plague to the Emperor!"
Chu Minghao let out a cold huff, his voice chilling. "I am merely eliminating a threat for the Emperor, and protecting him!"
"But..." Gui Tong knew Chu Minghao's deep-seated hatred for Chu Qianli, but now everyone knew that Chu Qianli had not contracted the plague. She had gone to the critical care area to treat the patients.
So many villagers had witnessed it firsthand, and everyone knew the truth.
It was impossible for His Highness to simply say something and cover it up.
The royal family would not let him off!
"Your Highness, paper cannot wrap fire..."
"Then use fire to burn all the paper!" In any case, he would not be satisfied until Chu Qianli was dead!
"Your Highness!" Gui Tong finally understood his intention and was instantly terrified!
His Highness intended to burn down the entire Xinhua Village!
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness, someone is coming out from over there!" A guard who had been gathering information hurried to report.
Chu Minghao's eyes lit up. "Quick! See if they are carrying out a corpse? If it's a corpse, set it ablaze for me!"
"Your Highness..."
"Gui Tong, if you still recognize me as your master, then shut your mouth!"
Chu Minghao glared fiercely at him, then ignored him, and addressed the guards in front. "All of you listen to me. The princess has contracted the plague and has died. The plague patients in Xinhua Village are now attempting to escape."
"To protect the royal family and other innocent citizens, I must order the village to be set ablaze!"
Chu Minghao's fingers trembled with excitement. "Come, set the village ablaze for me!"
