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

Su Peisheng kept speculating in his mind, but he had not come to a conclusion. Everything had to be decided by the prince.

When he got back, he told the whole story to the prince.

"Really? Go call the imperial physician over and ask them if this is the case."

This was also the first time that Yinzhen heard of cowpox, but since everyone in the village spoke so confidently about it, it was most likely true.

A quarter of an hour later, several imperial doctors arrived.

On the way here, Su Peisheng had already told them everything.

"My Lord, the cowpox theory is true, but there is no detailed record in medical books, and it is only circulated among the people. I and others have not studied cowpox, so we forgot about it for a while."

"However, the symptoms of the eldest prince and several other servants who had contracted smallpox were very similar to those of smallpox, except that they were slightly milder..." The imperial physician himself was also confused.

Yinzhen was simply speechless. Could it be that the eldest prince had suffered for ten days, but in the end he only contracted cowpox? Wouldn't he have to be vaccinated against human pox again?

No, he won't accept that!

"My dear doctors, please study this carefully to see whether the eldest prince has smallpox or cowpox!"

This... The imperial doctors looked at each other. They couldn't afford to offend the Fourth Prince. If it was really a misdiagnosis and the emperor knew about it, they would be in trouble.

"I and others will go down and look through the medical books..."

Yinzhen waved his hand and asked the imperial doctors to leave. As a prince, he was always upset.

The news that the prince had called the imperial physician in for questioning soon reached Honghui's ears.

When he heard the news, he had just showered, changed his clothes, and was about to go to his mother's room for a snack.

Even the imperial physician was called in, which meant that the progress of the matter was under control. However, he was afraid that the imperial physician would look down on the existence of cowpox just because it came from cows.

I still have to say a few words to my father, at least to make the imperial physician pay attention to this cowpox!

……

In the evening, Su Peisheng came over and said that the prince invited the concubine and the eldest prince to have dinner in the main room.

The mother and son packed up for half a minute and then went to the main house in the second courtyard.

"My son pays respects to my father."

Seeing his eldest son was safe and sound, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile, "Today is a good day for you to recover. Father has prepared a banquet. The three of us will have a good dinner together."

Just thinking about the unresolved cases of cowpox and smallpox, he felt a little worried. His eldest son was already so miserable after suffering once. What if he suffered again? …

"Father, my son can finally come out to get some fresh air and stretch his body! He's been almost sick of it these eighteen days!" Honghui kept chattering. He had to stay in the house to recuperate these days and his patience had run out.

"And the scars on my son's body are a bit annoying. I don't know when they will completely disappear."

Only then did Yinzhen feel that his eldest son had really recovered.

He chuckled, put his hand on his eldest son's forehead and rubbed it gently, saying comfortingly: "Don't worry, it just hasn't healed yet. After ten days or so, the scar will slowly fade away. Father has the tribute jade face cream, and at worst your mama has some good scar removal prescriptions. I'll give them to you when we get back to the mansion. I guarantee that you won't have any scars on your body."

"Yeah!" Honghui nodded, indicating that he was comforted.

"Okay, you and your son, stop standing there. Sit down and talk." Yixiu walked up to them with a smile on her face, and pulled them, father and son, one by one, to sit down.

The father and son sat down and talked, and sometimes they brought Yixiu along, and the three of them started chatting about everything under the sun.

Halfway through the conversation, Honghui saw the opportunity and said, "Father, maybe I was wrong before. How can cowpox and smallpox be mixed up? Cowpox is a pox on cows, while smallpox is a pox on humans. Even if they look very similar, they cannot be classified into the same category."

Not only do they look similar, the symptoms are also very similar, except that one is more severe and the other is less severe. The two are confused together, and even the experienced imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau cannot tell the difference!

Thinking of what the imperial physician had reported, a trace of worry flashed across Yinzhen's face, but he suppressed it in front of his son.

"The imperial physician will take care of the smallpox issue. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. We have lived in the manor long enough. Let's go back to the manor in a few days." The servants stayed in the manor and would be taken back to the mansion after they recovered.

Well, looking at my father's expression, he must have taken the cowpox issue to heart, so it doesn't matter whether he stays in the manor or not.

Afterwards, servants brought various delicacies one after another. Honghui put his worries aside and concentrated on eating.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes, and the next day Su Peisheng reported a piece of news.

"Lord Beile, there is a saying circulating in the village that people who have had cowpox have never been infected with smallpox."

"What?" Yinzhen was so shocked that he even knocked over the teacup in his hand.

"Su Peisheng, where did you hear this? Do you have any evidence?"

Su Peisheng did not feel guilty at all, and even had a look of disbelief on his face. "When I took the imperial physician to the cowshed today, a shepherd boy reported this, and the other tenants also agreed with this statement. Then I asked someone to check, and none of the people in the farm who had cowpox had smallpox again."

"But I don't know whether this is true or not. After all, smallpox has only wreaked havoc in this village once or twice..."

Yinzhen no longer had the heart to listen any further. As long as there was a slight possibility that this was true, it would be worth all the trouble.

"Go call the imperial physician, and have someone check the other two manors outside the capital to see if it's a coincidence or if it really happened."

Even without the Fourth Prince's attention, the imperial doctors were already in a frenzy, after all, they were there to hear the whole thing when the shepherd boy said this. Although they were somewhat skeptical about this statement, there were more than one or two people who had had cowpox but not smallpox, and they were also suspicious of the eldest prince's smallpox, so they had to pay attention to it.

The servants in the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the people from the Imperial Hospital worked together to investigate several farms one after another. When they found one or two farms, it could still be considered a coincidence, but when they investigated ten or eight farms, it could no longer be considered a coincidence.

In more than ten villages, none of the people who had had cowpox contracted smallpox. Even if smallpox was rampant and there were countless deaths and injuries around them, these people remained safe and sound.

This time, the imperial doctors were all in high spirits and took full charge of the cowpox experiment and the improvement of the vaccine without the intervention of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

If we can really get any results from this experiment, it will be a great merit!
