After listening to Dou Wei's description of the disease, Lin Qian quickly deduced that the epidemic in Lin'an City was smallpox.

The smallpox virus is highly resistant to dryness and low temperatures, and can survive in dust for several months.

After being infected with the smallpox virus, there is an incubation period of about 10 days. After the incubation period, fever, fatigue, and headache begin.

3-5 days after the onset of the disease, the patient develops red macules, which later turn into papules, herpes, and pustules. After about a month, the scabs fall off and leave scars, commonly known as "pimples."

This is a lucky situation. Severe smallpox patients are often accompanied by complications such as septicemia, osteomyelitis, encephalitis, and meningitis, which are the main causes of death from smallpox.

The smallpox virus is very lethal, and many people die before the rash is over.

The shadow of the plague has not yet dissipated, and smallpox comes one after another. From now on...

Lin Qian didn't dare to think about it anymore. She asked, "Are uncle and aunt okay?"

Dou Wei nodded: "Now that the palace doors are locked and the emperor does not come to court early, my father ordered the family to wear masks."

Wearing a mask is better than nothing.

Lin Qian went to the front line with her loyalty and told Tang Nuo and Dou Mu about this.

This matter must be planned in advance. The emperor is not very young, and the oldest prince under his knees is only five years old.

Summoning Tang Lang at this time may be to take care of the orphan, or it may be to clear the way for the young heir.

Dou Mu sent someone to call Tang Nu and Tang Shiming back, and Lin Qian sat down with the core figures of the Tang family to discuss matters for the first time.

The seat in the middle was covered with tiger skin that Tang Shiming brought back a few days ago, and next to it was a seat covered with wolf skin.

This is the position of Tang Nu and Dou Mu.

Lin Qian sat first on the right, and she met Tang Ron's counselor Wang Heng for the first time.

The other party is a middle-aged man dressed in a classic scribe's attire. Now that the weather has entered autumn, he is still holding a feather fan. His gray beard is neatly groomed. He is thin and his eyes are often narrowed to a slit.

Tang Lang and Dou Mu both valued Wang Heng. People from the Wang family in Taiyuan came to recommend themselves as counselors, and they treated him as a guest.

Lin Qian repeated what Dou Wei had said. Tang Nuo sighed and said solemnly: "If the emperor summons you, you must come back."

Wang Heng shook his fan and said slowly and quickly: "Now the refugees in Lingnan have turned into a mob. If you are not careful, the world will be in chaos. Civil chaos is always led by a few people, and then it grows like wildfire."

"If the general had not controlled the situation from the beginning, the imperial court would have been devastated by the Taoist army. As long as the general wanted to continue to have the surname Cao in this world, the general would be safe."

Lin Qian and Wang Heng had similar views. The emperor's summoning Tang Nu back should be to show his support.

When smallpox broke out in her twenties, she was not optimistic that the emperor would survive. After all, the smallpox virus killed several emperors in the Qing Dynasty.

Tang Shiming's eyes were full of dissent: "Father, God's power is unpredictable. If others want to eliminate dissidents, this is a good time."

"If my little sister hadn't arrived in time, we would be drinking water from the underworld."

Lin Qian almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She cleared her throat and said, "My cousin fell ill just after telling the news. I isolated his people alone. The situation in Lin'an City is dangerous. What should I do if my father is infected with the epidemic?" "

There should be people who have been cured of smallpox in the imperial city. The pox on the skin of smallpox patients with mild symptoms should be removed, dried and ground into powder, and then let people who have not had smallpox inhale the nasal cavity, which is equivalent to what is said in modern immunology Inactivated preparations.

Although the "variolus method" is effective, it also has a flaw, that is, the toxicity is difficult to control, so it will take a certain amount of time to figure out the "variolus method" and "cowpox method".

Lin Qian sincerely hopes that Tang Ron will live longer. Her foundation is not stable and she needs time to develop.

"My little sister is right!" Tang Shiming nodded in agreement and continued: "The imperial doctors in the palace have superb medical skills, but the emperor is still unable to turn the crisis around. Father, please don't put yourself in danger."

Dou Mu looked at Tang Ron and said, "Wealth is gained in danger, but wealth is also lost in danger."

Tang Rong patted Dou Mu's hand. The situation was unstable and he had no choice but to return.

"Shiming stays, I'll go alone."

Lin Qian immediately answered: "If father decides to return to Lin'an, I will go with him."
