The emperor glanced at Imperial Physician Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, a few times, and finally said, "Get up, I haven't said that I will condemn you yet." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Imperial Physician Zhang's face moved, and he looked up at the emperor in disbelief. After a long while, he said: "Thank you to the emperor, long live the emperor." Then he patted his sleeves and stood up, standing aside.

The emperor asked Imperial Physician Zhang again: "How many people have received pox so far, how many people have succeeded, and how many people have died?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang replied, "So far, a total of 327 people have been vaccinated. A total of four deaths were made, one of them was the grandson of the eldest princess Jingning, and the other three were ordinary people. ”

The Emperor then asked, "If you contract smallpox, what is the mortality rate?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang paused for a moment, and finally handed over his hand to report: "If you are infected with smallpox, the death rate is at least seventy to eighty percent." ”

The emperor calculated in his heart, seventy to eighty percent of the deaths, and four people died in more than three hundred, and the emperor felt that this risk was still worth taking.

The emperor said, "I will not punish you first, but I will remember your sins first." I order you to continue to promote the art of pox seeding, and continue to devote yourself to researching ways to reduce the toxicity of pox. If you succeed, you will make up for it, if you fail......" The emperor gave him a stern look and continued: "You bring the head to meet him. ”

Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly knelt down and said yes.

And at this time in Yanqing Palace.

The crown princess naturally heard the news that the grandson of the eldest princess Jingning did not survive the pox and finally died, and then sighed in her heart.

She went to the prince's study to see the prince, and then discussed with him: "Is it necessary to slow down the matter of sending Changzong to plant pox?" The concubine heard that the grandson of the eldest princess Jingning failed to survive and died. ”

Xiao Changzong's injuries from being beaten by the prince have now healed, and the prince is measured to his son after all, and he looks ruthless, but in fact, they are just some skin injuries, and they are all well after recuperating in bed for two months.

After the injury was healed, the prince should naturally consider sending him to the pox.

Hearing this, the prince put down his pen, glanced up at the crown princess, and then said: "Haven't you already seen it, Yuan'er Lan'er and Changye have already had pox, don't they all survive and come back safely." What else do you have to worry about? ”

The crown princess said anxiously: "But, what if it is like the grandson of the eldest princess Jingning?" ”

Although Xiao Changzong has a dislike for her these days, after all, he is a child raised by himself, and he is also the only hope for himself and the Cui family, and the crown princess definitely doesn't want him to have any mistakes.

The crown prince raised his head, glanced at the crown princess with a somewhat stern look, and then began to say slowly: "In the past, when Chaorenzong was in the past, there were two sons who were valued and hesitated on the throne. The two princes are also constantly competing with each other and want to be made the crown prince. But in the end, Renzong chose his youngest son as the crown prince, do you know why? ”

The crown princess didn't speak, just lowered her eyes.

The prince continued: "It is because the younger son had smallpox and survived, while the eldest son did not have smallpox. ”

If a dynasty wants to prosper for a long time, the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the dynasty and not to change dynasties frequently. A person who has had smallpox and survived, at least in people's minds, has a stronger vitality and will live longer than a person who has not had smallpox.

The prince said: "Even Yuan'er Ying'er and a few girls' families can survive, if Changzong can't survive, then it is his life." If he doesn't even have the confidence to survive the pox, what can he do in the future, and how can he ......" The prince did not continue when he said this, but omitted the words "succession to the unification".

The prince said, "If you are really worried about him, just take care of his body these days and raise his body to be stronger." After speaking, he lowered his head and picked up the pen again, with the attitude of sending off guests.

The crown princess sighed slightly, got up from her chair, curtsied at the prince, and left the study.

The crown prince looked at the back of the crown princess leaving, and felt a little disappointed.

And after the crown princess came out of the prince's study, she turned around and went to Xiao Changzong's house.

Xiao Changzong was still lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and his body was still trembling.

Ever since he knew that the crown prince was going to send him to get pox, and that Princess Jingning's grandson died during the pox, he had been like this.

Xiao Changzong heard someone come in, and asked with a trembling voice in the quilt, "Who?" Then his body trembled more and more, wrapped himself tighter in the quilt, and continued to tremble and asked, "Are you sent by your father to catch me to plant pox, I won't go, I don't want to ......"

The crown princess walked over, sat on the side of his bed, patted him gently through the quilt, and said, "Changzong, it's the concubine, you lift the quilt." ”

Xiao Changzong listened and asked, "Mother?" Then he lifted the quilt, then sat up, hurriedly hugged the arm of the crown princess, looked scared and anxious, and said: "Mother, you tell your father, don't go to the pox, don't go to the pox, the child will die, he will definitely die......"

The crown princess hugged him, patted him gently on the back and comforted: "What nonsense are you talking about, who said that he would die." Your father sent you there for your own good, and after you have a pox, you will not have this disease again. Look at your sisters, didn't they all come back safely, nothing happened at all? ”

After hearing this, Xiao Changzong pushed the crown princess away, his eyes became vigilant and angry, and he almost blurted out again, "You just want me to die, just like my mother." I just thought of the last time I was beaten by the prince because of this sentence, and finally endured it.

The crown princess looked at Xiao Changzong's gaze, a little heartbroken, and couldn't help but reach out and shake his shoulder again, and said: "The concubine promised you, when you come out of the pox, the concubine will give you good food, and the concubine will give you whatever you want." ”

Xiao Changzong's gaze at the crown princess became cold, pushed the princess away, lay down on the bed, and said, "Erchen wants to rest, please go out first, concubine." ”

The crown princess sighed, covered him with a quilt and tucked it, and then said, "Then you have a good rest first, and the concubine will come to see you tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he stood up and turned around and planned to go out, but he didn't take a few steps, but Xiao Changzong's voice behind him came quietly, saying, "If my biological mother and concubine were still alive, she would definitely not let me go." ”

The crown princess trembled a little when she heard this, and the hand hanging by her side was tightly clenched into a fist. There was anger and grievance on her face.

This son, who she raised with her own hands, really knows how to poke her heart.

It was that she had something wrong with Xiao Cui's at the beginning, but she didn't think she was sorry for Xiao Changzong. But why did this child hurt her with these words now?

The crown princess really wanted to turn around and scold him angrily at this time, if your biological mother was still alive, you would not be able to enjoy such a status in the East Palace, and you might not be able to live now.

With his stupid birth mother? Can you protect his sword and sword shadow in the palace? has long been swallowed alive by King Hui or Zhaoyang Palace, as well as many people who can't see the good life of the East Palace.

The crown princess endured it, raised her head slightly to endure the water in her eyes, and finally walked out without looking back.

Ye Sang sighed and followed the crown princess out. It wasn't until after walking for a long distance that Ye Sang called out with some concern: "Your Highness......"

The crown princess said with some hatred: "No one in this palace complains, if you want to complain, you will complain that you can't give birth to a son." But there was still reluctance and resentment in his voice. (To be continued.) )
