Chen Yunniang hid in the dark and watched people passing by from time to time, and decided to wait a little longer.

Wait until late at night, deal with Su Yujiao first, and then kill Gu Heng.

The three of them waited together until midnight. The streets were pitch black and no one was around.

At this time, there were still three quarters of an hour left before the agreed time of 11:30 PM, which was enough time to deal with Su Yujiao.

Just when Liu Wu was about to go in, Gu Heng appeared. He actually came early.

"What should we do now?"

Chen Yunniang's eyes were fierce: "Deal with Gu Heng first."

"Row."

Liu Wu, wearing a nightgown and a mask, walked around behind the man with a dagger in his hand, ready to give him a fatal blow.

As a result, the man actually turned his head to dodge the dagger flexibly, and then quickly counterattacked.

The dagger in Liu Wu's hand was knocked out, and he was shocked and took several steps back.

However, the opponent did not give him a chance to breathe, and clenched his fist and attacked him directly at the vital point.

Liu Wu had already recognized who the other person was and didn't dare to fight him at all, otherwise he would be exposed immediately.

Seeing the man running away, Lu Ziqian bent down to pick up the dagger on the ground. He found that the dagger was engraved with the characters of the Jin Dynasty and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

His first reaction was that the Jin Kingdom wanted to take advantage of the plague to muddy the waters.

"No, little eunuch!"

He seemed to have thought of something and rushed into the yard with a few quick steps.

The three people in the dark were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. They never imagined that it was Lu Ziqian who was underneath the bird-beak mask this time!!!

Liu Wu was so scared that his legs were shaking. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise his life would be in danger.

In the yard, Su Yujiao had just finished her work and was about to disinfect and change clothes when she saw someone wearing a bird-beak mask rushing in.

She also instinctively thought that the person coming was Gu Heng.

Just as she was about to shout, Lu Ziqian spoke first: "Are you okay? There are spies from the enemy country infiltrating the city."

Su Yujiao was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she didn't speak first, otherwise she would have been exposed.

When she was alone with Gu Heng, she never deliberately lowered her voice.

If she had just opened her mouth to speak, Lu Ziqian would have definitely noticed.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Ziqian thought that the thief had sneaked into the yard and looked around vigilantly.

Su Yujiao reacted and immediately shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"They might be here for the vaccine. Let's go see the prince now."

"Wait for me to change into clean clothes."

Lu Ziqian was pleasantly surprised: "The antidote has been made?"

"Well, I've tested it on myself. Now I just need to test it on more people before I can roll it out nationwide."

Soon, the two left the courtyard together.

Xiao He looked anxious: "Miss, what should we do now?"

"The general's arrival has thrown all plans into disarray."

"Miss, if you rush over and expose her identity now, will there be a turning point?"

Chen Yunniang stared at the two men's backs without saying a word, her mind in a mess.

If she were given enough time, she would definitely be able to come up with a foolproof plan to prevent her from achieving merit.

But time is running out and she can't think of a perfect plan.

I was afraid that in a hurry I would make a lot of mistakes and expose the assassination that had just happened.

Besides, even if Su Yujiao's identity was exposed now, Lu Ziqian would take her to see the prince.

He wouldn't be so selfish as to disregard the lives of all the people in the world!

So, she could only watch the two of them go to see the prince.

The prince had already gone to bed, but when he heard his servants report that Doctor Su had made an antidote to control the plague, he excitedly walked out of the bedroom barefoot.

"Doctor Su, have you really made an antidote?"

Su Yujiao knelt down and said: "I have lived up to everyone's expectations."

The prince personally helped the person up, and was overjoyed to learn that Su Yujiao had successfully tested the medicine.

"Your Highness, all we need to do next is to find more people to test it. If it works, we can roll it out nationwide."

"As long as everyone is vaccinated against cowpox, there will be no more fear of smallpox."

"Okay, okay, I'll have someone test the medicine right away."

"Doctor Su, you have made great contributions. Just tell me what reward you want."

Su Yujiao glanced at Lu Ziqian beside her and did not dare to tell the prince directly.

"Your Highness, I do not seek rewards, I just want to see your holy face."

The prince laughed heartily. It turned out that even Doctor Su, who was an expert in medicine, was not immune to this.

Who in the world doesn’t want to meet the emperor and tour the palace?

"Okay, after the plague is resolved, I will personally bring you to the palace to see the Emperor."

"You have accomplished such great things. You deserve to be formally honored in the Imperial Palace."

Next, Lu Ziqian reported the infiltration of spies from the enemy country, and then took his leave.

"Zi Qian!"

As soon as the two of them left the villa, they saw Chen Yunniang and the other two, who looked exhausted.

At this point, she had calmed down a lot and knew how to deal with the situation that was about to happen.

"Yunniang, you shouldn't have come here. There are plague patients everywhere."

Chen Yunniang shook her head: "I am not afraid of the plague. Since I dared to come here, I am already prepared to sacrifice myself."

"I know I can't be of much help, but it would be nice if I could do some bandaging and decoction work."

"Ziqian, I have something I want to tell you. Can I have a moment to talk?"

As she spoke, she looked at Su Yujiao strangely.

Before Lu Ziqian could say anything, Su Yujiao smiled sarcastically and left.

"Yunniang, we can talk later if you have anything to say. I will escort Doctor Su back first. There is an assassination attempt tonight, so you should be careful."

As they were talking, Gu Heng arrived.

"Jiao...Brother Su, why did you come here alone?"

"I just went to the yard and didn't see anyone. I thought something happened to you." Gu Heng looked worried.

Su Yujiao hurriedly explained: "Brother Gu, I'm so sorry, the situation was a bit urgent just now, and I forgot about the appointment with you."

Lu Ziqian looked at the two of them caring about each other and now talking about the agreement, his thoughts became uneasy, and he always felt that something was going to happen between the two of them.

Gu Heng hated Lu Ziqian's scrutiny and said in a cold voice, "I'll take Brother Su back, so there's no need to bother General Lu."

"Well, I'll let Mo Shu go and protect Doctor Su later."

After the two of them left, Chen Yunniang spoke: "Ziqian, I really have something urgent to tell you."

"what's up?"

Chen Yunniang lowered her voice and asked, "You really didn't realize who Doctor Su was?"

"Don't you think she looks familiar?"

Lu Ziqian nodded: "He looks very familiar. I originally thought he and Su Yujiao were related."

Chen Yunniang looked anxious: "She is my cousin Jiaojiao!!!"

The smile on Lu Ziqian's face froze. He suddenly turned around to look at the figure that was already walking away, and was completely stunned.

The man almost gritted his teeth: "Who do you say she is?"

"She's Jiaojiao's cousin, there's no mistake about that!"

Lu Ziqian's face was gloomy, and he was about to step forward to ask for clarification when he was stopped by Chen Yunniang.

"Ziqian, don't go. I have something else to tell you."

Lu Ziqian was inexplicably irritated. He just wanted to see if that person was Su Yujiao.

"I'll talk about it when I get back."

"We can't wait, this matter is really important."

Seeing his impatience, Chen Yunniang quickly got to the point: "Cousin Jiaojiao has developed an antidote to prevent smallpox. She wants to use her achievements to exchange for an imperial decree of divorce, and then marry Gu Heng."

"I saw this with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."

"They slept together?"

The man tugged at his collar irritably, a sign of his extreme anger.
