Xu Lan was so anxious that she went to see Dr. Liu. Dr. Liu could not diagnose the cause. He only diagnosed Wen Xun'er's allergy to something he had eaten and prescribed some medicine. However, Wen Xun'er's fever disappeared that night.

It subsided. The next morning, the original red rash turned into purulent and started to become abscesses. This scared Dr. Liu.

"Have the eldest lady been in contact with any outsiders recently? For example, refugees or something?"

Chunyue thought about it carefully: "I didn't come into contact with it. On the day I came back from the palace, a refugee child fainted on the road. At that time, the lady went to see him and gave him some food and some money."

Doctor Liu trembled and suddenly took a step back.

"What's wrong, Doctor Liu? Is there something wrong?"

Doctor Liu looked at Xu Lan: "Madam, have you heard that recently, refugees have entered the city and many people have been infected with the plague, with symptoms of high fever, vomiting and abscesses?"

"I heard that we ladies also donated some personal money to Liuguang Temple for disaster relief... But what does this have to do with Xun'er?"

"Hasn't Madam noticed that the rashes on the eldest lady's body have begun to suppurate and are about to grow into abscesses?"

Wen Xun'er didn't expect that the medicine Wen Ruhai gave her was so strong. She had been burning all night and was already dizzy. However, in order to prove that she was suffering from the "plague", she still stood up and took the medicine that was covered with red rashes and pus.

Stretching out his hand towards Mrs. Xu: "Mom, could it be that I have the plague?"

Xu Lan was shocked and panicked: "How is it possible? No way!"

She stepped forward to comfort Wen Xun'er, but was pulled back by Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu grabbed a piece of cloth and covered her mouth and nose, and said to Mrs. Xu: "Madam, I'm afraid that the eldest lady is infected with the plague."

We are close to each other. I have been in contact with the plague outside the city this time. This plague is raging and needs to be treated in time. Otherwise, it will be too late and there will be no cure. I am incompetent. Madam, please hurry up and ask the imperial doctor from the palace to come.

Let the eldest lady take a look. If it's too late, I'm afraid the condition will be delayed!"

Mrs. Xu was startled and looked up at Wen Xun'er's face that was burned red. Suddenly her feet gave way and she sat down on the ground.

"Madam!" Chunyue quickly went to help her.

"Mom? Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Wen Xun'er's hoarse voice, Mrs. Xu came back to her senses. She quickly stood up from the ground and held Wen Xun'er's hand: "Xun'er, don't be afraid. I will go to the palace to find your aunt to give you something."

Please ask the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor in the palace is very skilled and will definitely not let anything happen to you! Just wait for me, mother!"

After saying that, she hurried out the door, changed her clothes and went straight to the palace gate.

As soon as Wen Ruhai returned home from the court, she saw Mrs. Xu's steps were frivolous and she was confused as she entered the carriage.

He looked in the direction of the Wen Mansion, worried that Mrs. Xu would enter the palace alone, and hurriedly stopped the carriage.

"Sir!" When Mrs. Xu saw him, her spirit, which she had held on for a long time, collapsed in an instant. "Sir, Xun'er's fever persists. Doctor Liu said she might be infected with the plague!"

"Plague?" Wen Ruhai frowned, "There are indeed refugees suffering from the plague outside the city, but Xun'er doesn't leave the city, how can he be infected with the plague?"

"But Dr. Liu said that Xun'er's symptoms are exactly the same as those of refugees suffering from the plague. What should I do? If Xun'er has any shortcomings, how will I live?"

"Madam, don't panic! The imperial doctors in the palace are very skilled. I will go with you to see Concubine Yue and ask her to help find an imperial doctor for Xun'er!"

Mrs. Xu agreed and cried non-stop in Wen Ruhai's arms, but her mood was obviously much better than when she left the house just now.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Wen Ruhai asked Xu to stay in the carriage while he entered the palace to see Concubine Yue.

Xu's mood was unstable at the moment, so she didn't persist.

"Plague?" Concubine Yue was so shocked that she slumped down on her chair, "How could a good person have contracted the plague? Did the doctor say it himself?"

Wen Ruhai looked anxious: "It is said that on the day after the palace election, Xun'er came into contact with refugees. Madam Yue, the most important thing now is to hire an imperial doctor for Xun'er to see what is going on with her. If it is a plague, we must hurry up."

Time heals!”

"Brother, don't panic, I will ask Doctor Ji to go with you to the Wen Mansion!"

The news that Wen Xun'er was infected with the plague spread throughout the imperial city overnight.

The official ladies who were jealous and envious of her before were extremely happy when they heard the news, especially Song Qingluan, who immediately rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Li Yunni: "Look, evil people have their own destiny, Wen Xun'er won't talk about this.

His Highness the Ninth Prince, who has robbed my sister with credit, now does not need my sister to take action, God will take care of her!"

Li Yunni frowned and felt worried: "But I heard that the plague outside the city is now fierce. Once infected, it is easy to be cured. She, Wen Xun'er, hates her, but I never thought of wanting her to die!"

"You are just kind-hearted. She, Wen Xun'er, was the one who pushed you into the water and killed you. Have you forgotten?"

Li Yunni didn't speak, just looked out the window.

On the other side, Xiao Jiwei clearly didn't believe it when he heard the news.

"You were infected after only one contact? Is there any other reason?"

"What other reason is there? The imperial doctor said that Sister Xun'er is seriously ill and is about to die from the fever! Cousin Xiao, otherwise, let's go out of the palace to see her!"

"Your Highness, if Miss Wen is really infected with the plague, then you must not leave the palace! You are a prince and your status is extraordinary. You must not do such risky things!"

"But if I don't go and see Sister Xun'er, I really can't rest assured! If something really happens to her, then who will I play with from now on!"

Xiao Jiwei thought for a while: "How about I make a trip on behalf of His Highness?"

"Seriously?" Gu Yun was delighted, but then became worried again, "But your body has not recovered yet, and you are more injured than me. Is it really okay if you go like this?"

A smile appeared on Xiao Jiwei's pale face: "I only suffered a skin injury, not as serious as the imperial doctor said, your highness, don't worry!"

"Okay! But you must protect yourself and don't get infected!"

At the other end, the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

"Infected with the plague?" Gu Yunzhi couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, Your Highness, I personally went to see Miss Wen. Her exposed hands were covered with abscesses, exactly like the plague patients outside the city. They were almost the same! Moreover, the imperial doctor who went there was Imperial Doctor Ji.

Imperial Physician Ji has always been responsible for the safety of the ladies of the palace and has never shown any favoritism. Even he said that Miss Wen was infected with the plague, so he is inseparable!"

Gu Yunzhi fell silent, his eyes still showing a bit of disbelief.

"I heard that this patient infected with the plague, even if she recovers, the traces of abscesses will remain with her for the rest of her life, which is tantamount to losing her appearance! Your Highness, I'm afraid your marriage to Miss Wen will not work out!"
