The next morning, Xu Junjun yawned and opened the window, but the black cat she had thrown out last night was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Wumei was changing her dress when she saw Xu Junjun craning her neck to look out the window, her face full of confusion.

"What's wrong, Junjun?

What are you looking at?

Worried about being seen by the Qilin Guards, Xu Junjun looked for a few seconds, closed the window and waved:

"Nothing, just the black cat that jumped into our room yesterday. I wanted to see if it froze to death."

Jiang Wumei frowned:

"Didn't you sleep with it in your arms last night?

How could it freeze to death?"

Glancing at the window twice, Jiang Wumei suddenly understood:

"Did you let it go last night?"

The inn waiter brought in breakfast. Xu Junjun went forward and took a bun. He opened his mouth wide and took a bite. The aroma of fat filled his mouth. Then he said incoherently:

“That cat seems to be mentally retarded.

Last night, it wouldn't sleep. It kept banging its head against the screen and the pillar, like it was possessed by a ghost. I was afraid it would disturb you, so I threw it out.

Seeing Jiang Wumei's suspicious look, Qingzhi poured her a bowl of porridge and whispered:

“My Lady, what Miss Xu said is true.

The black cat was very restless last night and woke up all the servants.

It was only when Miss Xu stood up and placed it outside the windowsill that the room became quiet."

Jiang Wumei nodded:

“Maybe it’s cerebellar hypoplasia.

But it’s strange, because the cat is fine during the day.”

“Oh, never mind.

Niao Niao, try this Jiangcheng meat bun! It’s full of meat and has a thin skin. It’s so juicy and delicious.”

Xu Junjun no longer cared about the black cat. She fed a small meat bun into Jiang Wumei's mouth with a bright smile on her face.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Xu Junjun, so Jiang Wumei didn't mention the cat anymore and turned around to eat her breakfast seriously.

At this moment, thousands of miles away in the Regent's Palace in the capital of Tianqi, the imperial physician was taking the pulse of the Regent who was dizzy with a high fever.

Wei Dong stood aside, looking at the dying Regent on the bed, and his mouth was filled with blisters due to anxiety.

"Imperial Physician, what's wrong with the prince?

But poisoned?"

Ever since Jun Xiaochen was poisoned last time, Wei Dong has been like a frightened bird every time he feels unwell.

Seeing Jun Xiaochen becoming weaker as if all his energy had been drained away overnight, Wei Dong was terrified and kept asking the white-bearded imperial physician questions.

Doctor Xun carefully took Jun Xiaochen's pulse for a while, touched the white beard on his chin, and shook his head in thought:

"Strange, really strange.

The prince is clearly in good health, with no signs of discomfort or poisoning, so why does he have a high fever?

It’s really weird, so weird…”

Jun Xiaochen's mind felt like a mess, his thoughts still lingering on the nightmare-like experience of last night.

Now, listening to the strange words spoken by the imperial physician, he felt even more uncomfortable in his chest.

"Just ask the imperial physician to prescribe a cold medicine for me. Don't worry about anything else."

When Jun Xiaochen gave the order, his hoarse voice scared Wei Dong.

"Master, how about asking the imperial physician to take your pulse again?

The imperial physician said you didn't catch a cold."

Wei Dong's worried voice sounded like the buzzing of a mosquito to Jun Xiaochen's ears. He opened his eyes impatiently, his amber eyes filled with bloodshot red, and glanced at Wei Dong unhappily, scolding:

"Noisy."

Jun Xiaochen's irritation was obvious in his eyes and brows. His temper dropped, and Doctor Xun and Wei Dong both kept silent, not daring to speak again.

He asked the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription for treating colds and asked Weidong to send someone to get the medicine.

After the medicine was brought back and boiled, he watched Jun Xiaochen take it, then he looked for the imperial physician and picked up the medicine box and left the palace.

After drinking the medicine and resting for half an hour, Jun Xiaochen regained some strength and asked about Wei Dong's condition last night.

"Was there anything unusual happening in the palace last night?"

After he returned to Tianqi, many people in the court were worried and were too scared to go to court.

But the culprit who poisoned him wore a hypocritical mask, went in and out of the palace, and dealt with him insincerely.

Jun Xiaochen disdained this. The first thing he did after returning to the court was to tear off this man's mask, let the little emperor see his true face, and make a decision.

Last night, Jun Xiaochen gave the little emperor the opportunity to make a choice.

“Our people reported this morning that the Emperor had ordered the Grand Tutor to be confined last night.

It seems that the Emperor still sides with the Master."

Wei Dong reported the truth, and finally a look of joy appeared on his face.

Jun Xiaochen was not as optimistic as him, but after the nightmare last night, he was not in the mood to think too much at the moment. He nodded slightly and asked about the matter.

"Last night, you were guarding outside my palace. Around midnight, did you hear any movement?"

Wei Dong was stunned, then recalled and shook his head:

"I was on duty last night and didn't hear anything.

What's wrong, master?

But what’s wrong?”

Recalling the terrifying and real hours of last night, Jun Xiaochen was silent for a rare moment. After a moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice:

"It's okay, you can go down.

Wait a minute, go to the Imperial Observatory and invite the director, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

Wei Dong didn't understand, but since his master had spoken, he had no choice but to obey.

"Yes, Master. I will go right away."

His body began to feel hot again. After Wei Dong left, Jun Xiaochen pressed his eyebrows and recalled the three hours of cool breeze blowing on the windowsill in his dream last night. His face turned green.

……

As Jiang Wumei expected, the Qilin Guards and the Secret Guards could not find anyone in Jiangcheng. In addition, due to continuous rain, the rivers in the south were threatening to flood. Xiao Tong was forced to take people to deal with the flood and left Jiangcheng with a gloomy face.

As soon as Xiao Tong left, Jiang Wumei and the other two followed suit.

The two groups of people missed each other perfectly, and I don’t know when they will meet again.

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, Jiang Wumei, Xu Junjun and Qingzhi have been living in Yuncheng for seven months.

In the past seven months, Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei have been hiding in the downtown area disguised as a couple. They opened a medicine shop together and have been busy saving lives every day. Time has passed very quickly.

When the name of Xu Junjun, the miracle doctor, spread, people came to see him one after another. The two were so busy every day that they were dizzy. They limited the number of patients they received to five per day, and only then did the burden on them ease a little.

By the seventh month, Jiang Wumei's belly was getting bigger and bigger, making it difficult for her to walk. Xu Junjun no longer allowed her to help at the pharmacy, and asked Qingzhi and several maids to stay with her at the house every day.

Jiang Wumei spent the whole day in the mansion, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. She was so bored that she walked around the house two or three times every day before she could fall asleep.

That day, Qingzhi bought the lotus cake that Jiang Wumei loved on the street and brought it home. After Jiang Wumei ate it, she told her about the interesting things she saw on her way back.

“When I returned home just now, I saw the people in the neighboring mansion moving things.

I guess a new neighbor is moving in."

Jiang Wumei was stunned while biting a piece of cake, wondering:

"New neighbor?

Did you see what the person in charge looked like?"
