"Who?"

"Grandma Dong from West Street."

"Go! Go and see!"

Shen Yan and Yun Jin came to Grandma Dong's house on West Street. At this time, the yard of Grandma Dong's house was full of people.

"Princess Anping is here!" someone shouted.

The people watching took the initiative to make way.

"Princess Anping, you came just in time. Please explain to me. Didn't you say that the plague is gone? We can all go out freely? Why did my grandma die?"

The speaker was Dong Daqing. He was Grandma Dong’s only grandson. His parents died young and he was raised by Grandma Dong. He was a well-known filial son in Muxiang Town.

His filial piety has reached an extreme level.

Once, Grandma Dong tripped and fell on the threshold of their home, but was not injured.

After Dong Daqing found out, he directly removed the threshold and chopped it into several large pieces, but he still felt uneasy.

Finally, he reduced the threshold to crumbs and threw it into the fire and burned it to ashes before he could relieve his anger.

Most people in Muxiang Town did not interact with their grandparents and grandchildren, for fear that if they accidentally bumped into Grandma Dong, they would be killed by Dong Daqing.

"Let me see first. Grandma Dong is old and has various basic diseases. Her death is not necessarily caused by the plague." Shen Yan said.

When Dong Daqing heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said angrily, "Princess Anping said that my grandma is old. Does that mean that my grandma deserves to die?"

"Dong Daqing!" Shen Yan said with a cold face, "I know you are very sad when your grandma passed away, and I sympathize deeply with you, but please don't misinterpret the meaning of my words!"

"Don't think that because you are the princess, I am afraid of you. It was you who harmed my grandma. I will kill you to save my grandma's life!" Dong Daqing glared at Shen Yan, his face ferocious and filled with murderous intent.

Yun Jin quickly stood in front of Shen Yan, "Dong Daqing, why are you so heartless? Who saved your grandma when she was seriously ill? The plague was not caused by my princess, so what does it have to do with my princess? Why do you take advantage of my family? The princess is venting her anger?"

Dong Daqing obviously couldn't explain it, but he had no intention of being reasonable.

"I don't care, it was you who killed my grandma, I'm going to kill you!"

Dong Daqing is a butcher, and he is used to carrying a butcher's knife behind his back.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly pulled out the butcher's knife from behind, and slashed at Yun Jin with the knife, shouting, "I'll kill you first, then her, and you will all die!"

Shen Yan pushed Yun Jin away.

At the same time, others also started to help Shen Yan.

"Dong Daqing, calm down, your grandma's death has nothing to do with Princess Anping!"

"Dong Daqing, hurting Princess Anping is a capital offense!"

"Dong Daqing, stop!"

……

Everyone gathered around Dong Daqing, trying to grab the knife in his hand.

However, he was closest to Shen Yan.

While pushing and shoving, these people accidentally caught Shen Yan.

A blood-red mark appeared on the back of Shen Yan's hand, and blood beads oozed out.

"Everyone, disperse!" Shen Yan shouted.

Everyone was stunned when they heard her voice. She took this opportunity to snatch the knife from Dong Daqing's hand, then grabbed Dong Daqing with her backhand and kicked him to the ground.

"Yunjin, catch him!"

"Yes, county lord."

Shen Yan handed Dong Daqing to Yun Jin, and she quickly went to check on Grandma Dong's body.

The moment she saw Grandma Dong's body, a bad premonition suddenly filled her heart.

After some inspection, as she expected, Grandma Dong's death was due to the plague.

Moreover, it is a new plague that is stronger than before.

The entire Muxiang Town has been thoroughly cleaned three times with incense and potions.

Therefore, this new plague cannot be born locally in Muxiang Town.

This plague is extremely powerful, and anyone who comes into contact with it will definitely be infected.

"Folks, Grandma Dong did die from the plague, and it was a new plague. From now on, no one is allowed to leave this courtyard!"

After Shen Yan finished speaking, the entire courtyard was in commotion.

She couldn't lie about this, she could only tell the truth, because she was still not sure how much damage this new plague would cause.

If you lie, once exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Moreover, the complete elimination of the plague requires everyone’s joint efforts.

It's absolutely impossible to rely on her alone.

"Isn't it over already? Why aren't you allowed to leave?"

"Princess Anping, is it true that the previous plague has never ended? Are you trying to trick us?"

"Yeah, now that it's over, why is there a new plague?"

……

All the people surrounded Shen Yan again and questioned Shen Yan.

Seeing the anger on everyone's faces, Shen Yan's eyes turned cold and shouted, "Shut up!"

There was silence all around.

Shen Yan continued, "I can understand everyone's mood. I am more eager to end this plague than any of you. I will find out the source of the new plague and give you an explanation. Before that, I hope everyone will be like before Cooperate with me, and only if we work together can we defeat the plague."

Everyone looked at Shen Yan and said nothing.

Shen Yan raised the back of his hand to show it to everyone, "I don't know who scratched my hand when you were arguing just now, and then I touched Grandma Dong's body. Now, I have been infected with the plague."

The area around the wound had begun to clear up, and when the people saw this, their faces were full of horror, and they stepped back one after another.

Shen Yan continued, "I will never joke with my own life. No matter before or now, I will always be with you. Please believe in me and cooperate with me. If we work together, we will defeat the plague."

"Princess Anping, I believe you."

"I believe you too."

"We listen to Princess Anping and we will definitely be able to get rid of the plague!"

……

Everyone has been getting along with Shen Yan for some time, and there is basic trust between them.

Moreover, they now have no other choice but to choose to believe Shen Yan.

"Okay, everyone will stay in this courtyard for a few days. If you don't have any symptoms, you can leave the courtyard. I will find a cure for the plague as soon as possible." Shen Yan said.

"Yes, Princess Anping." Everyone replied.

Dong Daqing was certainly not happy to see that the matter had calmed down like this.

"Don't believe her, everyone. She is a liar. She is the one who brought the plague. Kill her..."

"Come here!" Shen Yan shouted sharply, "Dong Daqing deliberately sabotaged the disaster relief plan and attempted to murder this princess. Take him down and lock him up!"

"Yes, Princess." Yun Jin took Dong Daqing down and tapped his acupuncture points. He could only stare and couldn't say a word.

"Princess Anping." At this time, a voice came from the door.

Shen Yan looked out and saw Leng Yuting. He was holding a pheasant in one hand and a hare in the other.

Shen Yan has lost a lot of weight these days. Today, Muxiang Town will be free again. He went into the mountains early in the morning, thinking of getting some game to replenish Shen Yan's health.

"Don't come in!" Shen Yan shouted.

Leng Yuting's foot that had already stepped forward immediately retracted.

This time, he listened to Shen Yan.
