Although she helped Prince Wang put on his makeup, it was morning now and the sky was getting brighter. It was not as easy to fool around as at night, and she was afraid of accidents.

"Step aside!"

The leading Zhu Yiwei was very angry, veins bulging on his forehead, and no one dared to stand in front of them.

Wen Meijiu was no longer as calm as before. After being scolded by him, he trembled all over. He moved to the side with a trembling voice and whispered:

"Sir, I'm doing this for your own good. My man has a fever."

After saying this, seeing the suspicion in the red-clothed guard's eyes, she decided to go all out and grabbed the other's hand, quickly inserting it into Prince Wang's chest.

Prince Wang had just taken the medicine and the effect had not yet begun to take effect, so there was only one result: it was very hot.

The temperature from the palm made Zhu Yiwei certain that Wen Meijiu was not lying, but there seemed something wrong with the woman in front of him touching someone with his hand.

"What's up with him?"

Subconsciously retracting his hand, Zhu Yiwei frowned and looked at Wen Meijiu, and couldn't help but ask questions.

Wen Meijiu's mouth flattened, his face full of sadness. He looked at the Zhu Yiwei and gently wiped the corners of his eyes and said:

"I don't know either. Anyway, she started to have a fever when she came back last night. She also had a lot of small red bumps on her body, and they were increasing in number."

In order to increase credibility, Wen Meijiu quickly tore open Prince Wang's clothes on his chest, revealing a large area of ​​his chest.

A sea of ​​red spots covered the man's chest, making it hard to look at.

Zhu Yiwei's face turned pale, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a moment. He stood there for a long time without moving.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Meijiu used his body to block Prince Wang, approached the red-clothed guard, and begged:

"Sir, you are very knowledgeable, can you please ask a doctor to take a look at what this disease is?

Our whole family was fleeing from famine and we were starving. My husband has always loved meat, and he would eat anything he could find, such as dead rat meat or snake meat. I was really afraid that he would...ah, it's all tears if I talk too much. It's all my fault that I didn't have the ability to persuade him in time, so he got this strange disease. I don't know if it will affect the whole family?"

As she spoke, she observed the red-clothed guard's face out of the corner of her eye. As expected, after hearing her description, his face gradually lost color.

That’s right, Zhu Yiwei and Wen Meijiu thought the same thing. He said that he seemed to have heard of this disease of fever and red spots somewhere.

After Wen Meijiu's words, he became more certain that the man lying on the kang in front of him seemed to have really contracted that terrible disease - the plague.

Everyone knows how terrible the plague is. It is contagious and will kill many people.

He looked up and saw another person lying on the kang, sleeping soundly without moving. He suddenly became afraid: there are disaster victims everywhere now. If the disease is really contagious, then the spread will be very fast. Could it be that all these people have contracted the plague and are unconscious?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yiwei suddenly wanted to cut off his hand. If this hand was infected with the plague, he would most likely die.

Thinking of death, and dying from this matter, he suddenly felt a chill and was extremely panicked.

However, everyone around him was looking at him, so he didn't dare to speak out, fearing that it would disturb people and cause greater panic. He immediately turned around and ordered:

"Retreat, retreat immediately!"

After saying this, he was the first to walk out. It was called walking, but it was faster than running.

The people behind followed and went out the door together.

The shopkeeper was the only one left in the room. He stepped forward doubtfully and asked:

"Miss Wen, is everything you said true?"

If it's true, then the shopkeeper will be in big trouble since there are so many people living here.

Smiling at the shopkeeper, Wen Meijiu patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said:

"What do you think? If it's true, shouldn't I be afraid?"

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief and said:

"That's fake, but since the girl has done nothing wrong, she doesn't have to worry about them investigating, right?"

The shopkeeper was also a worldly-wise man, and he felt that Wen Meijiu was not as simple as she said, so he wanted to find out more about her.

Wen Meijiu suddenly seemed to have an epiphany, and looked at the shopkeeper and said:

"Yes, it's all my fault that I was so ignorant and scared by them. How about you return the silver to me?"

She stretched out her hand, and the shopkeeper quickly covered his sleeves. It was not easy to earn money these days, so how could he go back on his word?

"I have also contributed, haven't I?

There's an extra man in your room. Even if he's not a fugitive, it'll be hard to explain to the police, right?"

"Well, boss, since you've taken advantage of me, don't say these things. My man is like this. I don't even know when he came in.

If you want to blame someone, just blame the people on night duty for being lazy."

The shopkeeper knew to quit while he was ahead. As long as Wen Meijiu didn't ask for the money back, he was too lazy to pursue the matter further.

In the shopkeeper's opinion, it was normal for Wen Meijiu to have a man. Last night, she said she felt sick and ran out again and again.

If he guessed correctly, she was probably pregnant, but she probably didn't know it yet?

After those red-clothed guards left Wen Meijiu, they did not leave immediately, but went to check other rooms one by one.

After a while, someone rushed out of the room and jumped directly from the second floor. Zhu Yiwei and his group hurried downstairs to chase him.

Wen Meijiu could see clearly through the crack in the door that the person who jumped from the second floor was dressed in black and had his face masked, but his size and movements looked very much like Zhizheng.

Silently muttering to himself to stop the fight and run away, Wen Meijiu quickly closed the door and paced back and forth in the room.

There was chaos downstairs. I could hear that they were fighting fiercely with Zhizheng.

Fortunately, after a while, the sound of fighting downstairs disappeared. When she went out again to inquire, she found that the man in black had run away and the red-clothed guards were chasing him.

No matter how the dispute is resolved, Wen Meijiu feels that this place has become a place of trouble, and she wants to take her family away from here as soon as possible.

He poured tea to wake up each family member one by one, warmed the wine and told his parents that Young Master Wang was in trouble and might be followed by them in the future, so he turned around to look for the village chief and Lao Li.

However, as soon as she opened the door, Lao Li was standing at the door.

"Doctor Li, we must leave here as soon as possible. If we don't leave, we will be in big trouble."

Old Li had the same idea and agreed immediately.

The two of them took action together and called the villagers one by one. When they arrived, they found that the villagers had already gotten up.

When the village chief saw Wen Meijiu, he asked her how the situation was and whether she was in trouble.

Wen Meijiu said no, and asked about the situation on the village chief's side, and everything was fine.

Afterwards, Wen Meijiu pulled the village chief to a remote corner and told him that Prince Wang was going to travel with them.

Many people in the village have seen Young Master Wang. Even if Wen Meijiu wanted to hide it, she couldn't. So she might as well just tell the truth.
