Dai Shan once said: "Never underestimate the coldness of the emperor's heart, and never pin your life and future on the good character of others!" The secret of life must be firmly guarded, even the closest people cannot be said! ”

For this sentence, Yuan Chun deeply agreed.

Shui Xiao is indeed a reliable person and a trustworthy person, but pinning all her hopes for future happiness on his good character is definitely not her style. Therefore, she preferred to add another lock to his good character, a lock to increase his fidelity to marriage.

He is such a person who loves life incomparably, and he will never risk being "cursed" for the sake of a little lust, right?

Instead of foolishly believing in a man's promise at this time and crying when she finds that the promise is unreliable in the future, she would rather have reservations about the man's promise now and find some way to avoid the promise being disappointed. Therefore, despite her complicated feelings, she still used the word "damnation" to deceive Shui Xiao.

"If anyone dares to defile the honor of the Lotus Realm with an unclean body, he will be damned!" Shui Xiao unconsciously repeated this sentence, feeling a little silly. Damnation? Heaven still cares about such a small thing? Or, Yingzhou's origin is more extraordinary than he thinks?

He was stunned for a moment before he smiled: "Thank you for being outspoken." But I have promised that you alone in my life will keep my promise. Whether there is such a thing as 'damnation' or not, it makes no difference to me. Could it be that in the eyes of Shang Yi, I am the villain who is untrustworthy? ”

He looked at Yuan Chun's eyes, sincere and warm, calm and calm.

Emma! Yuan Chun felt: Shui Xiao at this time is really charming and blind!

She shook her head, controlling her mind and not letting herself be deceived by men and doing anything she regretted.

After lowering his head and thinking about it, Yuan Chun raised his head again, and said to Shui Xiao a little insincerely: "Your Highness's character, I naturally believe in it." But this matter is very important, and it must be explained to His Highness first. Since His Highness said so, when I return to Beijing, I will consult with my grandfather and give His Highness an answer. How is it? ”

The guise of acting for goodness must be pulled; The strategy of delaying the army must also be implemented. Otherwise, as soon as he proposed, she would agree, and she would not discuss it with her family, which would be too ...... It's so unreserved! Considering the cultural differences between the two worlds and the differences in the three views of the two people, if he thinks that he is a frivolous woman because of this, who will he cry to?

Regarding Yuan Chun's reply, Shui Xiao was happy in her heart: she didn't directly refuse, which means that she ...... She's willing to do it too, right?

"That's as it should be!" Shui Xiao suppressed the joy in his heart, "I wonder when Doctor Shang plans to return to Beijing?" He made up his mind to talk to Dai Shan first, so as not to make Dai Shan suspicious and obstruct it, which would make Yingzhou sad.

"I'm going to have to stay here a little longer and get some more vaccines." made up my mind not to return to Beijing with Shui Xiao.

"Then I'll go back to Beijing first." Shui Xiao waved to Yuan Chun, "I'm in Beijing, and I hope that Doctor Shang will return as soon as possible." ”

After Shui Xiao left, Yuan Chun stayed in Meishan Huangzhuang for a while, and cultivated some vaccines. The people around her, including Yuan Weihou, have basically been vaccinated against cowpox. The health system shows that the vaccinations have been successful.

Wang Xifeng did not get vaccinated, mainly because he was afraid of scars. Six children were also not vaccinated. Yuan Chun felt that to vaccinate minors, at least the consent of the guardian must be obtained. This is procedural justice that must be observed.

Half a month later, Yuan Chun picked a better weather and set off for Beijing.

When the Lin family and the Wang family came to collect their children, Yuan Chun told them about the vaccine. Ask them to make their own decisions for their children: whether or not to get the vaccinia vaccine.

Basically, for boys, the child's mother decided to get vaccinated without hesitation. For girls, the child's mother is a little hesitant - this involves a problem of scarring.

Yuan Chun couldn't help but sigh secretly: their choice probably represents the common choice of people in this era. And this choice could have a serious consequence: in the event of a smallpox outbreak, the infection rate among girls, and the ensuing mortality rate, would be much higher than that of boys!

She didn't want this choice with serious suspicion of sexism to become a trend, so she advised: "Auntie, aunt, you have to think about it." Is smallpox more terrible, or is it a small scar on a child's arm that is more terrible? Of course, people who don't have pox may not encounter smallpox epidemics, smallpox may not be infected with smallpox, and if they are infected, they may not die, and they may live longer than people who have had pox...... But whether to get a pox or not to get a pox should be considered based on risk factors, not based on gender, right? Boys planted? Girls don't plant? Is this really a pity for my daughter? ”

Jia Min and Wang Ziteng's wife were slightly embarrassed.

Wang Ziteng's wife argued: "I just thought that girls are weaker than boys, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stand it...... Don't you also say: Is it dangerous to get pox? ”

Jia Min said: "After I go back, discuss it with our master, and then decide!" ”

Yuan Chun didn't say anything more. She can't save everyone, there will always be some times when she can't do anything, she must learn to accept and learn to face it. For example, the problem of Ah Zhen and Ah Wu sisters, such as the gender discrimination of pox......

After sending off the little guests, Yuan Chun went to Dai Shan and told Shui Xiao about his proposal.

Dai Shan smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness King Zhao has come to see me and explained the matter." I don't object to you marrying King Zhao, but ......," his expression was a little strange, "I'm afraid your marriage will have to be postponed for a while." Prince Duanmu passed away a few days ago! Prince Duanmu is the uncle of the current emperor and the uncle of His Royal Highness King Zhao, and King Zhao has to serve a small merit! It will be at least five months before you can enter the palace and ask for marriage. ”

Yuan Chun was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. I felt a little helpless and a little funny: Is this just a good thing to grind? In the past five months, there won't be any demon moths, right?

If she had returned to Beijing earlier, I wonder if there would have been a chance to save that Prince Duanmu? Alas...... There really is a sense that everything is providential.

But no matter what, she and King Zhao could only wait quietly. The people of this era do not discuss marriage during filial piety.

A day or two later, the children of the relatives were all sent back, asking Yuan Chun to get pox. Girls have pox, and some don't, but most of the boys do.

After planting the pox for his relatives, Yuan Chun went directly to the palace and explained the cowpox vaccine to the emperor and empress.

Emperor Longzheng asked directly: "I and Empress, may I be vaccinated?" ”

Yuan Chun said in a proper manner according to the standard procedure: "This minister is not easy to say. Whether you can be vaccinated against vaccinia or not cannot be predicted in advance, and the exact result can only be known when the vaccine is incorporated. However, this vaccine has been tried on himself, King Zhao, some relatives and several palace maids and eunuchs around him, and no one has had an accident. ”

Emperor Longzheng thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "In the scope of medical skills, Shang Yi rarely is so ambiguous. Shall I ask......" he thought for a moment, "what is the probability of a successful vaccination?" What is the probability of an accident? ”

"The probability of successful vaccination is about fifty or sixty percent, and if it is not successful once, it can be planted a second time. The possibility of an accident is less than one percent! Yuan Chun said very conservatively.

"Can't we plant again when there is a smallpox epidemic?"

Yuan Chun said: "That's okay too." But there is one thing: after being infected with the smallpox virus, it does not become immediately ill. These viruses will lie dormant in the body for a few days, unknowingly eroding the person's body, and only break out after a few days or ten days. If you are infected with the smallpox virus and then replanted, it will probably have no effect. This is still a conservative statement.

Emperor Longzheng pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Then plant it!" ”

The medical book presented by Yuan Chun has not been officially published for various reasons, but the female officials in the palace and the Tai Hospital have already copied and made some copies. In his spare time, Emperor Longzheng would also flip through this set of medical books, focusing on the general theory of the human body, poisons, and epidemics. The word "incubation period" that appears many times makes him shudder!

It turns out that there are so many poisons that can harm people, and these poisons cannot be detected by silver needles, and they will not attack immediately if they are poisoned!

It turns out that those diseases are spread like that, and if they are used to harm people, how can they be prevented?

Therefore, for the "cowpox" that can prevent "smallpox", an epidemic that everyone talks about, Emperor Longzheng felt that it was worth trying. Lest one day some mad rebel secretly stuffed something used by a smallpox patient into his pillow and killed him, and he didn't know why!

Yuan Chun stayed in the palace and planted pox for the emperor and queen, harem concubines, and eighteen princes.

On this day, Yuan Chun had just checked the acne scabs of the eighteenth prince, and when he returned to the Shang Yi Bureau, a eunuch suddenly came to ask: "Lord Shang Yi, the emperor is discussing with the ministers in the Linjing Palace, and summoning the Shang Yi to see His Majesty." ”

"Me? Linjing Temple? Yuan Chun was a little surprised. No matter how polite the emperor treats himself, nominally speaking, he is only a female official in the inner court. What is the Emperor discussing with his ministers and needing to summon himself?

The eunuch bowed down and said, "Exactly! Please come immediately. ”

"Got it!" Yuan Chun agreed, and asked Qiu Ningshuang to immediately go and get his hat, mask, and gloves, and then come and join him. When she is in the harem, she generally does not wear a hat, mask, or gloves. Now if you want to go to the Linjing Palace, it is better to put on a full set of official uniforms, so as not to be impeached for a crime such as "failure of honor in front of the emperor".

After quickly dressing up, Yuan Chun followed the eunuch all the way to the Linjing Palace.

Linjing Hall is the place where the emperor summons his ministers and daily deliberations.

When Yuan Chun entered the palace, he saw Emperor Longzheng sitting on the throne, and there were twenty or thirty princes and ministers, clan relatives and nobles standing at the bottom, and there were some officials who were responsible for recording and other things in the places slightly behind the sides.

She swept her eyes and found Shui Xiao's figure in the crowd. Through the gauze curtain of the hat, she could also see that Shui Xiao's face was extremely solemn.

Yuan Chun couldn't help beating the drum in his heart: What happened? Looking at Shui Xiao's face, it doesn't seem to be good!

Although Jia Daishan is the Duke of Rongguo, he is now at home and only participates in the major ceremonies of the imperial court, and is not among the ministers and princes in this group of deliberations.

In the middle of those princes and ministers, clan relatives and nobles, a passage was separated.

Yuan Chun looked at the eyes on both sides, walked forward slowly, and blessed the emperor: "The minister is a good doctor Jia Shi Yingzhou, see the emperor!" Because of the emperor's will of "only kneeling to the gods, Buddhas, and immortals of heaven and earth", she is blessed with a blessing.

"Excuse me!" The emperor said straight to the point, "The reason why I invited Doctor Shang here is because there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, which is widely implicated." When the ministers were discussing the matter of disaster relief, I remembered that in the medical book offered by the Shang Yi Institute, it was said that "after the great disaster, it is necessary to prevent the great epidemic." It's just that I don't really remember how to prevent the epidemic, so I just asked Doctor Shang to discuss it together, and it was better to explain it clearly. ”

Yuan Chun suddenly realized: this is his professional field. I am also a little worried: Is there a flood in Jiangnan? The emperor said that "it is very implicated", which must be really serious!

She didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "After the flood, the first thing that needs to be prevented is gastrointestinal epidemics, especially cholera. If the epidemic prevention is not done well, the victims eat unclean food and drink unclean water, and there is a risk of getting sick from the mouth and contracting gastrointestinal diseases. Cholera is the worst of the gastrointestinal diseases, and it is not surprising that when a cholera epidemic breaks out after a flood, thousands or tens of thousands of people die from it. Therefore, the first thing to do in post-disaster epidemic prevention is to ensure that the victims can eat clean and unspoiled food and drink clean water. At the same time, the feces must be dealt with well and cannot be discharged at will......"

At that moment, a cold snort came from the crowd, and an old man with a white beard said in a cold voice: "Doctor Shang said it lightly, I'm afraid I haven't seen what the scene is after the flood, right?" Floods have passed, wells have been destroyed, rivers have overflowed, houses have fallen and trees have fallen, and thousands of people are fortunate not to be swept away by the flood, where can they find clean water? ”

Yuan Chun thought: That's a problem!

In her previous life, she could urgently dispatch clean mineral water to the world; In these worlds, this one obviously doesn't work!

What to do? She thought for a moment and said, "My lord has a point. It is not easy to find clean water sources in flood-stricken areas. Then you can use emergency methods, one is to catch the rain in the sky, which is relatively clean. If there is no rain to catch, then try to find clean water, and then use a clear method to filter out some impurities in the water. And the most important point is that the food must be boiled thoroughly, the water must be boiled, and even the bowls, chopsticks, soup spoons, etc., must be boiled in water before use. In this way, most gastrointestinal diseases can be prevented. ”

The old man with a white beard was really trying to find a way to solve the problem when he heard what Yuan Chun said, his face couldn't help but softened a little, and he asked: What method is used to filter the impurities in the water? Everything has to be cooked, what if there is not so much firewood?

Yuan Chun briefly said a few filtering methods he knew, and said with a wry smile: "As for the problem of not enough firewood, it should be up to the adults and disaster relief officials to find a way, right?" Could it be that this doctor is also asking me? ”

The old man with the white beard probably felt that what he had said was inappropriate, and when he coughed, he was silent.

Yuan Chun added: "Secondly, after the flood, it is inevitable that the corpses of some people and livestock who died will be soaked in water, and over time, they will become the source of epidemics. Therefore, disaster relief officials should try their best to salvage the bodies of the victims and bury them in a timely manner. Drowning domestic animals and poultry and the like cannot be eaten, but must be scooped up and buried on the spot. Third, after the flood, it is inevitable that mosquitoes, flies and rats will breed, and they will all spread some more serious diseases, which can be eradicated. Fourth......

She said N pieces of post-disaster epidemic prevention knowledge in one breath, and she was a little dizzy when she heard that Emperor Longzheng and the princes and ministers who were discussing the matter.

Emperor Longzheng rubbed the corners of his forehead and said to Yuan Chun: "Doctor Shang should write these things down as a note!" I sent an expedited 800 miles to spread the message to the officials and people in the disaster area. Come and prepare a book for Jia Shangyi. ”

Immediately, a eunuch quickly carried a small bookcase, a small pestle, and presented the four treasures of the study and put them aside.

Yuan Chun sat directly behind the bookcase and began to write "Tiao Chen" by hand.

This is the first time she has written this kind of thing, and it is rare that she doesn't care if the format is not formatted, so she pinched her head and removed the tail, and directly wrote a few precautions for post-disaster epidemic prevention.

When she wrote this, the princes and ministers over there were discussing how to provide disaster relief, who to send, where to transfer food, etc., and Yuan Chun did not listen carefully.

When she finished writing and handed the paper that had not yet dried to the emperor, a person wearing the costume of the county king suddenly walked out of the crowd, saluted Emperor Longzheng, and said in a loud voice: "Father, the son proposes: Please invite Master Jia, a good doctor, to go to the disaster area in the south of the Yangtze River, one to guide the local officials and the people to prevent the epidemic, and the other is to have unparalleled medical skills, even if you can't bring the dead back to life, you will be able to save countless lives, and you will definitely have great merit to the people of Jiangnan and the court and society!" ”

Yuan Chun Huo Ran turned around and looked at him.

I'll go! King of the Straight Gun!

This proposal allowed Yuan Chun to go to the Jiangnan disaster area to the king of Zhijun, who was once named Prince Yongzhi for his military exploits, and later demoted to the king of the county because of the establishment of a bureau to frame Jia Zhen and was exposed!

Shui Huo turned to face Yuan Chun and looked at her aggressively: "I don't know Jia Shangyi, are you willing to go?" ”

He smiled a little sarcastically and with some ill will: "I heard that Shang Yi once said to my father: Although I am a woman, I have obtained the peerless medical skills taught by the gods, so I should follow the example of Sun Yaowang: I have a great heart of compassion and vow to save the suffering of the soul." Don't look ahead! Don't worry about the good and the bad! I don't spare my life! Shang Yi has this ambition, and Xiao Wang deeply admires it. Now that the people of Jiangnan are suffering from floods and are threatened by epidemics, since Shang Yi wants to follow the example of King Sun Yao, he must not want to stay in this prosperous place in the capital, and turn a deaf ear to the suffering of the people in Jiangnan, right? ”

No way! Did Shui Huo want to take advantage of the "water disaster" in Jiangnan to avenge the demotion at the beginning? Can you be reasonable? At the beginning, it was obviously you who calculated and framed the Jia family first, how can you blame the Jia family for fighting back?

Yuan Chun complained frantically in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while!

Promise? But that's a flood-stricken area! There will be countless dangers waiting for her! escaped natural disasters, as well as man-made disasters; escaped man-made disasters, and maybe there will be a dark arrow of Shui Huo. Who knows what demon moth she'll meet!

Don't say yes? Won't the image she has always maintained of "helping the world and saving people and cherishing life" collapsed? The "Great Doctor Sincerity" she recited in front of the emperor in order to pretend to be X before, didn't it become a slap in the face? Not only in the face of himself, but also in the face of the emperor who believes in himself! This consequence is a bit serious! So don't pretend to be X, pretend to be X and be struck by lightning!

To go, or not to go? There are only these two options.

No one who can mix here is a fool, and they won't just listen to her words and not watch her actions. It is impossible to expect to get by with some rhetoric.

And, to be honest, she took the salary of the imperial court, the worship of the people, and enjoyed a respected status. At such a critical moment, she couldn't bear to stand by and watch the situation in Jiangnan, otherwise she would not be able to get over the hurdle in her heart!

From Emperor Longzheng to all the princes and ministers, they all looked at Yuan Chun, wanting to see what she could do.

Shui Xiao closed his eyes, sighed deeply, walked out of the queue, and bowed deeply to Emperor Longzheng: "Father, although Jia Shangyi's medical skills are outstanding, her greatest value to the court, to Sheji, and to the people of Li is not to go to Jiangnan to save a few people, but to open the law for the emperor and the people of the world." Not to mention anything else, let's first say that the set of medical books that Jia Shangyi has dedicated to his father and the emperor has been dedicated for five or six years, I don't know how much the adults in the Tai Hospital have understood? If the doctor unfortunately dies, won't most of the medical skills obtained from the gods be lost?

"As far as Erchen knows, Dr. Jia Shangyi has also recently produced a vaccinia vaccine, which, according to the medical book, can resist smallpox. Now, the father, the queen mother and the ladies in the palace have all been planted, but there are still many people in the capital and the people in the world who have not been vaccinated and are still talking about smallpox. If Dr. Jia Shangyi unfortunately dies in Jiangnan, who can make this vaccine? Who can improve? Who can make up for this loss? Do you expect the adults in the hospital to be over?

"Father, although Jia Shangyi is high-minded, he cares about the lives of the people. But which is more important, the father must know very well. Jia Yingzhou met an immortal and was taught medical skills, which was the 'auspicious rui' of the imperial court. Please also ask my father to think twice, don't send 'Xiangrui' into danger! ”

Yuan Chun looked at Shui Xiao and felt a little moved in his heart. He stood up at this time to stop himself from going to Jiangnan, did he think about what the consequences would be?

"Then the people of Jiangnan, let them fend for themselves?!" Shui Huo didn't wait for the emperor to say anything, so he shouted with great righteousness, and said to Shui Xiao with a slight sneer, "Seventeenth brother, I heard that in the past few years, you have had a close relationship with Jia Shangyi. Did you stop Jia Shangyi from going to Jiangnan, out of public interest or out of ...... What about personal affairs? ”

Out of public interest, or out of personal feelings?

The emperor and all the princes and ministers stared at Shui Xiao, wanting to see how he answered.

Shui Xiao smiled slightly, and said to Shui Huo: "Presumably the Sixth Emperor Brother forgot: the younger brother has not recovered from his old illness, and he still can't get close to women, and there is not even a concubine in the house, so how can he have any 'personal affairs' with Jia Shangyi?" I stopped Jia Shangyi from going to Jiangnan, naturally out of public interest. ”

As soon as he said this, he spoke. The emperor and the princes and ministers all had different expressions, some wanted to laugh or not, some were slightly sympathetic, and some were quiet and thoughtful.

Shui Huo was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that Shui Xiao, the prince who participated in the succession, would admit in public such a huge weakness as "the old illness has not been cured and he can't get close to women". Then he said: "What about the people in Jiangnan? Does the seventeenth brother not care whether they live or die? Jiangnan is a place of great wealth for the imperial court, and its losses are incalculable due to this disaster. If the imperial court mishandled the disaster in Jiangnan and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people in Jiangnan, Jiangnan would definitely be greatly damaged. In the future, what will the imperial court do to collect taxes in Jiangnan? ”

Shui Xiao said with a smile: "Since the Sixth Emperor Brother cares so much about the people of Jiangnan, why don't you automatically ask Ying, be a minister, and go to Jiangnan for disaster relief?" First of all, Jia Shangyi is very important to Jiangshan Sheji, and he must not go to Jiangnan to take risks! ”

Shui Huo looked around for a moment, snorted, and reluctantly found a reason for himself: "I am a martial artist, I am good at marching and fighting, and I am good at these things for disaster relief...... I'm afraid that I can't do it, so I don't dare to ask for it. The seventeenth brother used to be an errand boy in the household department, so he should be very familiar with civil affairs, so why don't you ask for help? ”

"I'm about to ask for it!" Shui Xiao restrained the smile on his face, turned to face the emperor, and solemnly arched his hand and said, "Father, the son-in-law asks for orders: send the son-in-law minister as the minister to inspect the disaster relief and epidemic prevention situation in Jiangnan." Please rest assured that the epidemic prevention method mentioned by Jia Shangyi will be fully implemented by his sons! ”

Yuan Chun looked at Shui Xiao in a daze: He took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Jiangnan at this time?! He's stupid, isn't he? Don't you know that Jiangnan is now a big pit, a big puddle?
