"Don't worry, I will go and see if the prince is really infected. If so, I will accompany him to create a prescription. Please believe me and the prince. At this time, before the court sends someone down, we must not panic. What I said may sound unpleasant, but now we are an isolated city. No outsiders will come here in a short time, but who wants us to go out? If this city is not well defended, who will benefit the most? If we are really instigated by others, wouldn't this be exactly what others want? We are the people of the great dynasty, and so are you. The prince, I, the governor, and the second prince are all here. No one wants to give up on you. Please give us some time." Wen Jiu said, holding back the embarrassment on his face, and bowed his head.

"We believe in the Crown Princess, and we believe in the Crown Prince"

The people shouted that it was because Wenjiu had planted the seeds of kindness that he gained the fruits of the people's trust.

"Don't worry, I will ask the prince to increase the defense in the city. If anyone is found spreading rumors to confuse the public, report them directly. I will let the prince decide the reward later. No one has been found in the city yet. I just hope that we are people of the same dynasty. We must join hands and rely on ourselves. You must always have a belief in your hearts that no matter who abandons you, the prince and I will never abandon you." Wen Jiu wanted to say something comforting, but her body was still rustling. She could hardly stand and was on the verge of falling. Fu Yichen, who was distributing porridge at the side, saw it and rushed over, but was supported by Gu Xiao first. Fu Yichen put down the spoon in his hand and wanted to come over. Gu Xiao said, "Let Master Fu take care of the city. I'll trouble Lord Lu and Master Fu to take care of what Miss Wen just said."

"I'm fine. You stay outside and watch over me. When Bai Zhi comes, remember to tell her that she is my sister and I asked her to go for the consultation. Here is the prescription. Give it to Bai Zhi secretly and ask her to make it for everyone to drink. I'll go to the military camp to check on the prince and call my brother out." Wen Jiu looked at Fu Yichen and gave him a reassuring look. Fu Yichen nodded in agreement, but his face was still full of worry.

I got on the carriage and rushed to the military camp, my mind full of thoughts about whether that idiot Su Jinxiu was sick and what was I doing there instead of coming back?

"What's your relationship with Fu Yichen?" Gu Xiao's words frightened Wen Jiu. Did he know something?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Gu Xiao asked puzzledly.

"I don't know how to answer this question from Governor Gu." Wen Jiu pretended to be dumb.

"Oh, who cares what your relationship is? I'm not the one who's cuckolded anyway." Gu Xiao thought these people were interesting.

"Hello, Miss Wen. You are not allowed to enter the barracks for the time being." A soldier stopped them.

"The supervisor of the East Factory is in the car. It's fine if he doesn't let me in, but he came to discuss something with the prince," Wen Jiu said to the little soldier. If it weren't for Gu Xiao being here, she would have asked Xuan Ling to solve the problem with force.

"I'm honored to meet you, Lord Governor. This is the order from the Crown Prince, and we dare not disobey."

"Then I'll go in and explain it to him later." Gu Xiao said, and then he snapped his fingers and the soldier fell down.

Wen Jiu followed Gu Xiao. The four of them went in and met Qing Hu who was on patrol. He told him the whole story and asked him to send someone to Yingkou to replace the guard and send a few more people to deal with the buyers. Then they met Su Jinxiu lying on the grass.

Hearing the footsteps, he thought it was someone on patrol, and didn't even glance at them. The Xiaoyao fan on his face blocked the light. Wen Jiu walked over and stepped on him hard. "Ah, who is it..."

"Ah, sister, hey, no, why are you here?" Su Jinxiu was ashamed at first, then asked with doubt.

"Brother is really ruthless. My neck still hurts." Wen Jiu touched his neck.

"Excuse me, come here and let me take a look," he said, and was about to go and see, but then he remembered the strict rules between men and women, and withdrew his hand, "Sister, you and the governor should go back to the city."

"You can't control where this governor goes. Where is Master Xiao?" Gu Xiao asked. Su Jinxiu looked at the main account inside. Now everyone knew that it seemed that Xiao Jue was very likely to have contracted the plague.

"Was it your idea to quarantine and patrol the military camp? Did you also order people to guard the city gates under the order of Master Xiao? Master Su really has great authority." Gu Xiao said these words of reprimand, but in his heart he also admired Su Jinxiu's quick response. When they arrived yesterday, Master Xiao fell ill again. If it weren't for Su Jinxiu, I'm afraid that people in the city would have fled by now. By then, it would not just be Xiaoxiang, but more towns would suffer...

"Why would the governor scare my brother? He is just doing this because he is afraid that people in the city can run away. The prince originally ordered that people could only leave but not come in, and now there is just one more gate that cannot be entered. So didn't the governor say that the city gate should be closed this morning?" Wen Jiu obviously couldn't figure out this Gu Xiao. She only knew that he was in a high position and had great power, but no more information. This was the first time she had seen him since she returned to Beijing. She only knew that he was cruel and ruthless, with no mercy. Even the current emperor didn't dare to go too far. This was the East Factory bestowed by the late emperor, just for the country. Although the ministers in the court strongly opposed it at first, they could not persuade the late emperor to appoint the fourteen-year-old Gu Xiao as the governor of the East Factory. He was in a high position and had great power, and his methods were even more amazing.

"Miss Wen, I was just joking. Look how many rebuttals you've said," Gu Xiao said as he was about to go in but was stopped by Wen Jiu.

"Please forgive me, Governor. I am afraid that I cannot let you see the prince in this situation. If you are also infected, who will protect the Second Prince? The city still needs someone decisive to calm down that slippery prefect," Wen Jiu suggested.

"Don't worry. Lord Li who came with us is no ordinary man. He was able to climb to the position of vice minister in such a short time. I'm afraid others can't climb to this position in their entire lives. He was able to do it in just a few months and is deeply trusted by his superiors. Do you think he can't handle a small prefect?" The officials in Beijing are much bigger than those of them.

"I know, but I still want the governor to take my brother back. Leave this to me, here..." Wen Jiu hadn't finished speaking when Qinglong's voice came from the main tent, shouting "Master, Master". He didn't even hesitate to call him the prince, proving that Xiao Jue inside was really in danger. No, he couldn't die now...

"Sir, please take my brother back to the city. The prince's condition seems to be very serious. We can't delay any longer. Sir, please help me persuade my brother." Wen Jiu solemnly bowed.

"Even Master Xiao can't hold on any longer, and you're still waiting here to die? Or are you not in love with Master Xiao as the rumors say?" Gu Xiao asked, looking at her anxious expression.
