When Wei Lin presented the prescription for smallpox to the emperor, the emperor was so surprised that he almost hugged Wei Lin and kissed him.

How to treat smallpox!

In the past, Emperor Kangxi almost died of smallpox. He spent the rest of his life looking for a treatment for smallpox, but in the end he only came up with a method to inoculate human pox. Now, when the emperor suddenly heard the word "cowpox", he was still very surprised.

"How did you know this method? Have you ever tried it?" The emperor was so excited that he could hardly imagine how the censors would leave a prominent mark for him in the history books if this method worked.

Wei Lin was neither humble nor overbearing, and reported seriously: "Your Majesty, I have a farm house in my family. In the first half of the year, the servants in the farm got smallpox. I thought I had to burn down the whole farm, but I never thought that these servants recovered quickly. I am an imperial physician, so I started to investigate this method of rapid recovery, so I came up with this method, and found that the cure rate of cowpox is almost 100%. In the past two months, I have found a few beggars to do experiments, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, the emperor fell into deep thought.

After a long while, the emperor spoke in embarrassment, "It is good to come up with a method with a higher survival rate, but such a method has certain risks after all. If there is no noble person to take the lead, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public and let the people of the world use it with confidence."

Wei Lin lowered his head 10% and didn't dare to respond.

The most noble people in the world are undoubtedly the emperor, empress, queen mother and heir, but who dares to let any of them try? Wei Lin didn't dare to answer and could only wait for the emperor's next words.

The emperor didn't care whether Wei Lin answered or not, he just continued to speak: "It's a pity that I had smallpox in my early years, but I have recovered and it will not come back. The Empress Dowager is getting older, it's really...ah..."

The emperor was talking to himself, and Wei Lin just stood there without saying anything, as if he had become a background board.

"Forget it. I will let the Imperial Medical Bureau cooperate with you on this matter. Just prepare first." The emperor knew that it was not a wise move to embarrass an imperial physician here. He just asked Su Peisheng to spread the matter later and find someone who could share his worries.

Yikun Palace

Yu Ying'er, Cao Qinmo, Fei Yunyan, and Lu Yingfeng were all gathered together, and their children were playing on the side. Shuhe, as the eldest sister, took her younger brothers and sisters with her, and also did not forget to listen to the conversation between her mother and the ladies.

"What do you think about the smallpox issue?" Nian Shilan leaned against the cushioned small table and asked the person below him lazily.

Fei Yunyan was also confused and could only say that she didn't know.

Cao Qinmo had some insights and said, "The emperor needs a confidant. If anyone gets the chance this time, he will definitely have a good future, but... he may also sacrifice his life. If I hadn't had smallpox, I would have taken a gamble for Wen Yi."

Nian Shilan listened, shaking her head thoughtfully, not enthusiastic about this matter. After all, she had no shortage of favor and power, so why would she risk disfigurement for such an opportunity?

Yu Ying'er was deep in thought. She had some ideas, but the idea only flashed through her mind for a moment and then disappeared. She was already a concubine. Even if she wanted the position of a noble concubine, she could just have twins, or find other ways. Why would she want to suffer so much?

"The emperor does want a confidant, but the sisters' faces are so smooth and moist, how can they be stained with acne marks. The emperor is the same. He wants to be seen by the world. Just for a little face, he doesn't use a death row prisoner to try, but uses the sisters' faces to make a joke." The more Yu Ying'er thought about it, the more she felt that the emperor was really a scumbag. He actually wanted to use women to gain face for himself, and completely ignored the girls' love of beauty.

How can this be considered as showing love for the people? We are not kings, but just women. What's wrong with taking care of ourselves first?

Nian Shilan looked at Yu Ying'er with approval, and said naturally: "Even if you are a woman, you can live for yourself. Why humiliate yourself for a man? Cao Qinmo, your Wen Yi has me and Concubine Rou, so why worry about anything else?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." This was the sentence Cao Qinmo had been waiting for. Seeing that she had received the promise, she was very happy.

Fei Yunyan was still out of the situation, as if she was in a trance. She subconsciously ate the pastries with her hands, but her eyes were dull and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Lu Yingfeng took their words to heart and began to think about it, as if something in his heart was about to break.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. The Queen is not here to sit around and do nothing." Nian Shilan smiled faintly. If she remembered correctly, Yixiu had never had smallpox.

"I understand." The other four nodded in agreement.

……

As expected, it was the Queen who took the lead and personally experienced the painful years after being vaccinated with cowpox. After surviving, she recuperated in Jingren Palace.

The emperor announced to the world that the empress had personally tested the cowpox treatment method and confirmed its usefulness, and therefore made it popular.

First came the inner court of the imperial palace, the empress, concubines and descendants, then the royal family and ministers, and finally the common people.

It sounds good to say that it is for the common people, but in the end, the first beneficiaries are not the nobles.

But the people are easily satisfied. As long as they benefit in the end, it is the emperor's kindness. How many people can remember the queen who first tried the medicine? Yu Ying'er's party has the spiritual water given by Yu Ying'er to serve them. Naturally, after being vaccinated with cowpox for a while, their skin will only be smoother than before, and no acne marks can be seen.

But some people are getting older, and naturally their skin recovery is not as fast as that of young people. Among them, the Queen, Li Jingyan, and even Feng Ruozhao all have more or less faint marks on their faces, which require a lot of powder to cover up.

Fu Cha Yixin and Shen Meizhuang's skin condition was good and recovered quickly. Everything is normal now.

Only Borjigit of Zhongcui Palace seemed to have an extremely severe rejection reaction to cowpox. She had a high fever and talked in her sleep every night. She passed away soon after.

In response to this, Mongolia chose to send another mascot to represent the marriage between the two ethnic groups, in exchange for a method to cure smallpox and save the Mongolian people from danger.

The letter said that only Borjigit's sister, Little Borjigit, was to be sent, but it was unexpected that Balin would also come with her.

Balin kept saying that she came here as a maid of little Borjigit, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the ambition in her eyes. Perhaps only little Borjigit was willing to believe this person, and begged her father to bring Balin to the capital.

Because the elder Borjigit was just a noble lady at first, the emperor, in order to give her face, gave the younger Borjigit the position of concubine and even gave her the title of Yu.

On the second day after Concubine Yu entered the palace, she was supposed to pay a visit to the Queen. Yu Ying'er also saw Concubine Yu when she was paying her respects. Unlike her sister, she seemed more fragile. If she said she was a Han woman, I'm afraid others would believe it.

"Your concubine, Yupin Borjigit of Zhongcui Palace, pays her respects to the Empress." As soon as Yupin opened her mouth, her rough voice that did not match her appearance startled everyone present.

The corner of Yixiu's mouth twitched slightly, Nian Shilan looked at her openly with a little curiosity, and Yu Ying'er was so shocked that her teeth dropped.

"Princess Yu, has your voice always been like this?"
