Yuan Fu panted and trotted in, and said, "Two highnesses, there is a holy decree!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu and King Zhou glanced at each other and were puzzled.

Zhu Qiyu wondered in his heart, Nanhaiwei was thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it was very time-consuming and laborious to deliver the news, if the emperor had any will, why didn't he let King Zhou bring it over, but sent someone to run alone.

King Zhou is also similar to this idea, he has only been here for a few days, how can he have a holy decree?

He knows very well that the emperor will never point fingers professionally, isn't something wrong?

Zhu Qiyu said: "My nephew is sick and bedridden, and it is inconvenient to travel, so I asked my uncle to take the order on my behalf!" ”

King Zhou nodded, and then asked, "Who came to deliver the decree?" ”

Yuan Fu said: "It's Concubine Wanniang!" ”

"What?" King Zhou was shocked and asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Yuan Fu said truthfully: "That's it...... Wan Fei Niangniang. ”

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu asked, "The Concubine Wan you are talking about, is it Concubine Chen?" ”

Concubine Wanchen is the concubine of Zhu Qizhen, the biological mother of the second prince Zhu Jianyan, whose father Wan Ju was originally a soldier of Zhuo Luwei, and was later named the Thousand Households of Zhengwupin Jinyi Wei.

Yuan Fu shook his head and said, "It's not Concubine Chen, it's Concubine Wan!" ”

Zhu Qiyu was puzzled and asked, "Where is there a second concubine in the palace?" ”

King Zhou seemed to think of something, and asked, "Is it the new concubine Niangniang?" ”

Yuan Fu nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "Which one is Concubine Zhen?" ”

"Yes......"

King Zhou didn't know what to say for a while, so he said, "I'll explain to you later!" ”

After saying that, he hurriedly got up and went out to greet him.

Zhu Qiyu was still confused, and muttered: "When will the imperial brother take a concubine again?" Why don't you see the newspaper......

After about a quarter of an hour, the door opened.

I only heard King Zhou's voice coming: "Niangniang, please!" ”

Immediately after, a woman's voice said: "Your Highness, please!" ”

Zhu Qiyu immediately became nervous, first pulled up the bed curtain tightly, then covered himself with the quilt, turned sideways, turned his face against the wall, and said: "The younger brother is inconvenient, and he failed to greet the mother, and I hope to forgive the sin!" ”

"Your Highness doesn't need to be polite, this palace is here for the sake of poisonous sores!"

The voice was very crisp, and Zhu Qiyu was covered in the quilt, but he could hear it clearly.

It's just that this voice ...... Why does it sound familiar?

At this time, I didn't think about it a lot, so I put the quilt on my head and said: "The maccus is too toxic, Niangniang is still far away, don't be infected......"

King Zhou also stepped forward and said, "Nephew Qi Yu, come and see, who is this?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was even more puzzled, wanting to see who this new imperial concubine was, and she had come thousands of miles to Nanhaiwei to pass the decree, but she was worried about her illness......

Brush!

King Zhou lifted the curtain and said, "Nephew Qi Yu, the imperial concubine has come to see you!" ”

"Don't, quick...... Get out of here......"

Zhu Qiyu was a little overwhelmed, so he had to cover his head with a quilt.

"This sores are too toxic, please ...... the mother"

"Your Highness, it's me!"

"I know...... Hey? ”

Zhu Qiyu was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he realized something.

"Your Highness, don't you remember me?"

The more Zhu Qiyu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, first covered the poisonous sores on his face with his hands, only showed his eyes, and slowly turned his head......

"You ......"

The person in front of him was not wearing a phoenix crown, but a very ordinary dress, and if he didn't know, he couldn't guess that it was the Ming Imperial Princess.

"You're not...... ...... by the Queen Mother's side"

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "Yes, it's me!" ”

Zhu Qiyu reacted suddenly, hurriedly turned around again, and said, "It's the younger brother who is abrupt, and I ask my mother to forgive me!" ”

No matter what their previous identity was, they are now the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty and their sister-in-law.

Wan Zhen'er said: "What did His Royal Highness say, this palace came to Nanhaiwei from Beijing, it was ordered by the emperor to completely remove the poison of the sores. The emperor also said that His Royal Highness has lived overseas over the years, working hard for the country! ”

"As the king of the Ming Dynasty, the younger brother should have guarded one side, but this poisonous sores are really ...... Alas! ”

Zhu Qiyu's mood is very complicated, he has been going to sea for three years, and he doesn't feel comfortable leaving his hometown, and he still has to deal with those Westerners, these are nothing, but this poisonous sore came too suddenly, which makes people unguardable.

But I don't know why the emperor wants to send a concubine to the sea, what does he think?

Although this Wan family is a palace maid, she has not been so pampered since she was a child, but she has always been a woman, not to mention, she is still the emperor's concubine, what if something happens?

】

"Haha!"

King Zhou suddenly smiled and said, "Nephew Qi Yu, you still don't know the ability of this concubine Wanniang, right?" ”

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't make fun of ......"

"What's that poking for?"

King Zhou shook his head and sighed: "I really didn't expect that my Daming would have a goddess doctor, Niangniang's medical skills are so clever that it is sincerely convincing!" ”

Only then did Zhu Qiyu react and asked, "Niangniang also knows medical skills?" ”

"That's nature!"

King Zhou was very emotional, and Wan Zhen'er treated the queen mother, set up a medical bureau, and recounted the experience of the emperor coming back from the ghost gate, especially the time when he rescued the emperor, the hospital was helpless at all, if it was delayed, it would have been the succession of the prince Lingqian......

After listening to this, Zhu Qiyu was shocked in his heart.

I really can't imagine that an ordinary palace maid next to the Queen Mother has such a ability?

But I don't know if I can cure this poisonous sore......

"Niangniang's medical skills are superb, which is really admirable, but the courtier's brother is suffering from poisonous sores and is worried about infection, so he also invited Niangniang and Uncle Zhou to move to the council hall to discuss important matters!"

Wan Zhen'er knew that Zhu Qiyu was worried about infecting herself, so she said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this palace has already been planted with cowpox before landing on the island, and it will not be infected again." ”

As she spoke, she lifted the sleeves of her arms to reveal her small arms.

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly turned around and said, "Brother Chen doesn't dare to be abrupt!" ”

Wan Zhen'er said slowly: "Your Highness, please see, this is a symptom after infection!" ”

Only then did Zhu Qiyu turn around and take a closer look, indeed, there were some scars on his skin, which looked new.

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

Wan Zhen'er withdrew her arm and said, "This is the symptom of cowpox." ”

Zhu Qiyu was even more puzzled, looked at King Zhou, and asked, "Cowpox...... What is it? ”

King Zhou shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know!" ”

Wan Zhen'er explained: "Before the Beijing master came out, the emperor had explained a ...... for the treatment of smallpox Oh, by the way, this poisonous sore, there is another name, it is called smallpox. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked, "Why is it called smallpox?" ”

Wan Zhen'er thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhou, whether Jin Gui is slightly recorded or not, I can't remember clearly. ”

King Zhou thought for a while and said: ""Jin Gui Yao" has clouds, and those who are infected with this spot have spitting, pale color, slightly itchy and annoying, and the pulse is slight, dozens of times a day, and they will blister, so the clouds and smallpox. ”

"Yes, that's it!"

Wan Zhen'er nodded and continued: "His Royal Highness King Zhou was in a hurry, and later the emperor discovered a special treatment, and he was worried that the person who delivered the decree could not speak clearly, so he appointed the palace to send an envoy to Nanhaiwei, and he must cure the poison of smallpox!" ”

Next, she recounts her experience in general.

Wan Zhen'er and King Zhou and their entourage took roughly the same route, starting from Beijing, taking the train first, and after arriving in Ningbo, they turned into ironclad ships and sailed for more than ten days to arrive at Maxi Island.

She is a smart person, very organized, and she knows very well that if she wants to treat people, she must first ensure her own safety.

Therefore, after arriving, he did not rush to the island, but ordered people to find a few infected people on the island, buy a few cows, and start planting pox.

To put it bluntly, it is to extract smallpox sores from human beings and transfer them to cattle.

Due to the different body structures of cattle and humans, the smallpox virus is extremely deadly to humans.

For some reason, the sores reached the cow, and it was only a slight infection.

In this case, chickenpox that grows on the cow is also called cowpox.

What's even more bizarre is that even if the cowpox is re-infected to people, it will only cause some mild discomfort at best.

According to the theory of modern medicine, the role of cowpox is equivalent to a vaccine, which makes people produce antibodies.

With antibodies, you have immunity and are no longer afraid of the smallpox virus.

After only three days, the cattle began to develop chickenpox.

One of these chickenpox is the smallpox virus.

Next, it's about taking the pox and planting the pox.

Wan Zhen'er even tried the medicine herself, dipped the poison juice with a silver needle, and stabbed it into her arm.

After another two days, at the site of vaccination, a rash began to appear.

After three days, the rash slowly turns into blisters, and then, it falls off and crusts over.

During the whole process, I didn't feel any discomfort.

Just some slight dizziness and fever, such as those infected with smallpox, are simply different.

Wan Zhen'er was overjoyed, and sure enough, everything was as the emperor said, and the cowpox infection was only a mild form of smallpox.

Since it has been proved that there is no problem, the emperor also said that as long as he is infected with cowpox, he will not be infected with smallpox again.

Although I don't know why, the emperor can't be wrong!

Zhu Qiyu listened a little bit, so he asked: "Plant the poisonous sores on the cattle, wait for the cattle to get sick and have chickenpox, and then plant them back on the people, and then you can cure the disease?" ”

Wan Zhen'er nodded and said, "That's right!" ”

Zhu Qiyu still didn't understand, and asked, "Why?" ”

"This ...... I don't know, but after the infection, some antibodies appeared in the body......"

"What are antibodies?"

Wan Zhen'er shook her head: "I don't know, it's just that the emperor called it like this, so I called it too." ”

Zhu Qiyu was helpless and said, "Okay, you go on." ”

"If you have antibodies, you won't be infected again, that's the principle!"

"I've been sick for days, why don't I have antibodies?"

"According to the emperor's words, you already have antibodies in your body, but the symptoms caused by the poison of smallpox have not been eliminated."

Zhu Qiyu still doesn't understand, but he always firmly believes that since it was said by the emperor, it must be right.

"Niangniang, please command, the subordinate brother will cooperate!"

Wan Zhen'er said: "It's very simple, the next step is to make cowpox on a large scale and inoculate everyone, so that people will not get sick, and as for those who are already infected, they need His Royal Highness King Zhou to bother more." ”

King Zhou nodded and said, "Our side has been trying various medicinal materials, and we have made some progress, and we should be able to find a cure soon." ”

Wan Zhen'er said again: "In this case, please also ask King Zhou to plant pox first to avoid infection." ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "I'll come first!" ”

Wan Zhen'er had no choice but to explain: "Your Highness, you are already sick, and you don't need to grow pox again." ”

"Oh, well......"

King Zhou didn't include the lake, and said, "Without further ado, let's start as soon as possible!" ”

After the three of them deliberated, they set to action.

The first batch of cowpox made by Wan Zhen'er and others was still ready-made, and it was directly planted for King Zhou and the imperial doctors from Beijing.

It's just that there was some turmoil in the process of planting pox.

When many people heard that this thing was smallpox, they were immediately frightened.

Good guy, it's too late to hide, and you're catching up with the disease?

In desperation, King Zhou explained the reason to everyone, and set an example to calm everyone's doubts.

Zhu Qiyu's order was passed down, and almost all the cattle of Nanhaiwei were collected.

Immediately afterwards, Wan Zhen'er recruited some women to join her team and began to plant pox on a large scale.

Nanhaiwei went up to the civil and military officials, down to the common people of Limin, and everyone wanted to plant.

In the streets and alleys, from time to time, the howls of children can be heard, and the cries are particularly loud.

If the symptoms are severe after the pox, they will be taken to a specially set up camp and taken care of by special personnel.

The whole process was methodical and went smoothly.

Three days later, King Zhou began to have a rash.

His symptoms were severe, with dizziness and fatigue, and a fever all over his body.

This caused the entire Tai Hospital to fall into a panic, and everyone thought that King Zhou should be sick.

Doesn't it mean that all those who have been vaccinated with cowpox have all contracted the disease?

However, some people were vaccinated with King Zhou and did not have any symptoms.

There are also people who just have some rashes, and they are fine in just one day.

King Zhou carefully observed on his arm, and where the silver needles had been pierced, there were obviously a lot of herpes.

The symptoms on his body are somewhat similar to those of King Yu, except that they don't seem so severe.

The old servant Wang De came in with a food plate, his face was full of sorrow, and said, "Lord Wang, you didn't eat a drop of water yesterday, and you have to eat something today no matter what." ”

King Zhou shook his head: "I really don't have any appetite at all, I heard that I will lose my appetite if I am infected with smallpox, and I have not felt it until today." ”

Wang De said again: "Concubine Wan Niangniang sent someone to spread the word, chickenpox, there will be a loss of appetite, at this time, if you can't eat, you have to eat some, with spirit, the disease can be cured." ”

When King Zhou heard this, he drank two mouthfuls of porridge and put it down again.

"It's not that I'm worried about my body, I'm just ...... Wan Fei Niangniang's method of planting pox, is it effective? ”

Wang De seemed to think of something, and said: "Lord Wang, I also planted it, but there were some rashes, and nothing happened!" ”

King Zhou was dizzy and uncomfortable at this time, he was still strong, but when he heard these words, he felt even more uncomfortable, and his face was calm: "You go out!" ”

"Lord Wang, you have eaten......

"Get out, I don't want to see you!"
