Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

In the following days, his body became increasingly numb and itchy, and Honghui could hardly bear it anymore.

However, he still held back because he didn't want to follow in Huang Mafa's footsteps. When he was most uncomfortable, Honghui either asked the servants to hold his hands, or read the travel notes to distract himself, and he never scratched once from beginning to end.

While he was fighting the itchiness all over his body, Su Peisheng's investigation reached a deadlock.

"My Lord, I have thoroughly checked the farm, but there is nothing wrong. The eldest prince has not come into contact with smallpox scabs..."

When Su Peisheng replied, he wanted to burst into tears. After more than ten days, he didn't find any clues. Even if the prince didn't blame him, he still felt that he was useless.

Yinzhen frowned and said expressionlessly: "Su Peisheng, you are becoming more and more useless. You can't even figure out a small village."

Su Peisheng lowered his head and said with shame: "I know I am guilty, but I asked the imperial physician to check the clothes and furnishings in the eldest prince's room thoroughly, and nothing was wrong. I also asked and checked every person the eldest prince came into contact with and every place he went to on the farm, but I still couldn't find the problem."

Yinzhen fell into deep thought. Who on earth had the ability to conceal the truth and let the eldest prince be infected with smallpox?

Could it be his brothers? Impossible! No matter how fierce the fight for the throne was, it would not harm the younger generation. Moreover, he was just a little Duolo Baylor, who would go to the trouble of killing his eldest brother?

Could it be that Li and Song, who were pregnant in the backyard, had evil hearts? That was impossible! They had no power as housekeepers, no connections, and no means, so it was obvious what they were doing. Besides, they also lived on the farm, and they would not take the risk for the sake of their unborn children.

"Okay, go down and check it thoroughly first. Don't let any abnormality go!"

Su Peisheng forced a bitter smile and walked away with a staggering step. Well, all the efforts of the past ten days were wasted, and he had to check it again thoroughly.

What's the problem?

Before he could find out the truth, the eldest prince recovered first.

On July 27th, the last few acne scabs on Honghui's body fell off, leaving only scars all over his body.

The imperial doctors cried with joy. After eighteen whole days and nights, they finally made it through.

The head of the smallpox department had a wide smile on his face and was in a very relaxed mood. He said slowly to the people guarding the main courtyard, "My Lord, we have fulfilled our mission. The eldest prince is now cured. As for the scars, they will disappear over time as long as you apply some ointment. Also, from today on, the eldest prince can move back to his own house from the front yard."

Hearing this, Yixiu immediately hugged her son in her arms, crying and laughing at the same time, unable to control her excitement.

Yinzhen was also somewhat excited, but he was more reserved. He coughed a few times and said to the imperial doctors, "My eldest brother was able to recover thanks to all of you imperial doctors. I will definitely reward you generously later. I will also write to the emperor to reward you well."

"I dare not, I dare not, this is the duty of these humble officials and others, I dare not accept the generous reward from Lord Beile."

The imperial physician declined repeatedly because he still had some doubts in his heart. After the smallpox outbreak, only five or six people got the disease, and the symptoms of each person were not very serious, much milder than every previous smallpox outbreak.

Thinking of the others who were slowly recovering, the imperial physician hesitated and said, "This smallpox is much milder than the previous ones. I and others would like to study it in detail. I wonder if Lord Beile can give us a favor?"

"Of course!" Yinzhen nodded decisively. The scabs from this smallpox outbreak can be used for vaccination in the future. If the imperial physician can come up with a better vaccine, countless lives will be saved in the future.

Seeing that his father and the imperial doctors had realized that there was something unusual about this smallpox, Honghui knew that the time had come to reveal the mystery.

"Father!" Honghui shouted, then showed a hesitant expression. He looked around for a moment, and finally whispered: "Father, your son wants to tell you something. Maybe your son is overthinking it. These pustules on your son's body feel like those on cows..."

"What's going on? Where did you see it?" Yinzhen asked anxiously.

Could it be that someone transmitted smallpox to the eldest prince through the plowing oxen?

"It was the day when my father returned home. My son went to the cowshed to check on the cows and accidentally fell on a pregnant cow. There were many pustules under the cow's body, and my son accidentally touched one when he stood up."

Honghui said this lightly, but Yinzhen was deeply moved.

"Su Peisheng, check the cowshed for this prince to see what kind of monster dares to act so recklessly on the farm?"

"Whoo!"

Su Peisheng took his men to the cowshed in a hurry. There were a total of fifty-seven cows in the cowshed. It turned out that seven or eight of the cows had more or less pustules on their bodies, and a dozen or so cows had some spots on their bodies, which looked somewhat similar to the scars left by recovery from smallpox.

All of a sudden, the steward in the cowshed, the shepherd boy, and the tenants who had contact with the oxen were taken to the cowshed for questioning.

Su Peisheng's eyes were sharp and revealed a cold light. He said to everyone with a fake smile: "Tell me, who sent smallpox to the cow?"

The steward was worried. Did someone do something to the cows? He hurriedly stepped forward to take a look at the oxen. He was relieved and smiled as he said, "Eunuch Su, this is not smallpox. This is cowpox. Most cows will get this disease."

"Cowpox? What is that?" It was the first time that Su Peisheng heard of cowpox.

"This cowpox is a disease that occurs in cows. It usually doesn't spread to humans, but some people who are unlucky may get it. But cowpox doesn't have any risks. It usually just causes a few days of fever and itching, then it will heal. There are about ten people in the village who have been infected with cowpox. Except for a forty-year-old man with a heart disease who didn't make it, all the others have recovered."

After saying this, the steward pointed to several shepherd boys present and said, "Just so you know, these shepherd boys have all been infected with cowpox, so I arranged them to take care of the oxen in the cowshed, because if you get cowpox once, you won't get it again."

The dozens of people in the audience just kept nodding their heads, and the braver ones even mustered up the courage to say, "What the manager said is true." No one felt guilty.

Is this all a coincidence? Wasn't the disease the eldest prince contracted smallpox?
