Chapter 012, inoculation of human pox

As expected, Lin Xianyu's vaccination of human pox was approved by the Queen Mother and Shunzhi, and she was about to go to Huangzhuang in western Beijing to plant pox.

With the contagiousness of smallpox, it is obviously impossible for Lin Xianyu to conduct these dangerous tests in the palace.

But the Queen Mother had already begun to arrange for her to be served by a special person, and assigned a physician to take care of her.

Lin Xianyu was already busy asking people to pick up the clothes and make them soft, but she didn't plan to bring too many people on this trip...... Well, several palace maids and eunuchs around her are obviously not willing to accompany her on adventures, and in this era, everyone talks about smallpox and changes color.

Lin Xianyu simply said: "That's it, you don't have to go with you." ”

The two eunuchs and the two little palace maids were all pardoned, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank them.

Only Shu Lu, the personal palace maid, gritted her teeth and stood up: "The slave is willing to serve the little master!" ”

Lin Xianyu was stunned for a moment, these days after the crossing, she could naturally see that this palace maid and eunuch next to Shu Lubi was indeed loyal and meticulous, but she didn't expect Shu Lu to take the initiative to accompany her out of the palace to plant pox.

Lin Xianyu nodded: "Okay, if you have this loyalty, I will not treat you badly." She herself knows that the risk of acne is low, but it is not without life-threatening conditions. It's just that in a few years, the real smallpox will sweep through the capital, so it's better to take this opportunity to plant Shulu, a loyal servant, with human pox - naturally, you have to ask her if she is willing.

In addition, when she went to Huangzhuang to get pox, although the Queen Mother would arrange people to serve her, they were all strangers, and they were not as loyal as Shulu.

At this moment, Concubine Shu rushed in in a hurry, "I heard the Queen Mother say that you are going to go out of the palace to plant that small pox!" ”

Lin Xianyu had a black line, and hurriedly explained: "It's not smallpox, it's human pox." This one is very safe. "Well, it's not too safe, but it's much safer than the real smallpox virus.

Concubine Shu was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "Good and decent, why are you doing this?!" ”

Lin Xianyu hurriedly explained to Concubine Shu, "If the flowers have a tendency to spread to the north today, I am afraid that it is very likely to spread to Beijing." And after the pox, you will not get smallpox again. ”

Concubine Shu finally understood the meaning of these words, but she still looked anxious and uneasy, "But...... But isn't this thing a pox from a man with smallpox and brought it to you? Is this any different from dyeing smallpox? ”

Lin Xianyu had to patiently explain the difference between human pox and smallpox to Concubine Shu, and said: "This method was found by my Amma, so he won't harm me, right?" In fact, Badu himself probably didn't expect his own daughter to test herself, right?

Hearing this, Concubine Shu finally believed it, she held Lin Xianyu's hand, sighed and said: "Anyway, the Queen Mother has already allowed it, and it's too late for you to regret it now, I just hope that this method is really useful." ”

Lin Xianyu hurriedly comforted Concubine Lori softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely return safely." ”

Seven days later, Lin Xianyu, accompanied by Shu Lu, the personal palace maid, left the palace from Xihua Gate, rode an inconspicuous cyan car, and went all the way to Huangzhuang in the west of the capital.

The Queen Mother is really a reliable boss, although this imperial village is not luxurious, but it is relatively far away from people, and the Queen Mother also ordered someone to find a few pock-faced women to serve full-time. - Pockmarks are not uncommon in this era, otherwise how could there be such a dish as mapo tofu?

The doctor who specially inoculated her with human pox came from the south, and it is said that he gave pox to children, and only five or six of the 100 people died.

However, considering the shortcomings of the pox inoculation method in this era, Lin Xianyu thought that "I am a concubine in the inner palace, and it is not suitable to contact foreign men", so he asked the doctor to leave the pox powder, gave him silver, and asked him to retreat.

Next, Lin Xianyu asked Shu Lu to prepare spirits and a sharp fruit knife, considering that Shu Lu was unlikely to use a knife against her, Lin Xianyu had no choice but to come by himself.

First, he took off his gown, robe, and middle coat, revealing his snow-white arms, and then ...... The place where the vaccine is often administered is coated with spirits, and the fruit knife is also disinfected with spirits first, and then a little bit of skin is gently cut, and then the pox powder is pasted on.

Saying...... This person's pox powder doesn't seem to be sterilized...... No problem, right?

But for now, it can only be settled, and even this spirit, I don't know if there is seventy-five degrees.

After inoculating his arm with human pox, Lin Xianyu didn't feel anything for a few days, until seven or eight days later, he felt a little feverish, and his arm was also a little itchy.

Finding out that she had acne, Huangzhuang immediately entered a state of strict lockdown. Shu Lu and the few mapos were nervous, and Lin Xianyu couldn't help but feel a little suspenseful.

Without a thermometer, Lin Xianyu could only rely on feelings, her head was not too hot, it should be just a low-grade fever, and her body was a little weak, but other than that, there was not much discomfort.

But she still rested in bed under the advice of the Mapo servant, and used the method of physical cooling to put a cold veil on her head day and night.

This low-grade fever lasted for several days, the pox on his arm was bigger, there were several itches on his body, and finally even the neck and face had acne!

Alas, it's going to be out of shape now.

And on her data panel, her physical strength has dropped three points in three days, which makes her more suspenseful than the virus on her body.

"This is because I was infected with the smallpox virus and my body fell into a weak state, so I lost my physical strength? When I get better, I should be able to recover, right? Lin Xianyu yelled at the palace fighting system in his heart.

However, the system is more silent than this dog!

To be precise, after the crossing, after doing the basic introduction, the system becomes dumb.

Damn it!

Lin Xianyu cursed in his heart.

This broken system is really unreliable!

Lin Xianyu felt quite unwell, in addition to the continuous low-grade fever, she gradually felt headache and dizziness, and the whole person was confused.

Fortunately, Shulu and a few mapos fed her with food and medicine every day, and wiped her body with alcohol. And after the physical strength fell to two points, it did not continue to lose.

This condition lasted for more than half a month, and her body finally ushered in an improvement, the symptoms of fever, headache, and dizziness gradually eased and subsided, and the pox on her body did not appear to fester, suppurate, nor spread in a large area, and the number was much smaller than that of smallpox, and her physical strength began to gradually recover.

After a month, the pimples on her body matured and began to fall off.

Lin Xianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, she carried this pox.

Merely...... There was a pit on the right cheek, and there were also two pits on her neck, and her original 7 o'clock appearance plummeted to 4 o'clock, and it should be impossible to recover. However, in the next month, her physical strength recovered to the original 6 o'clock, which made her completely relieved.
