Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

When being approached by the imperial doctors, Yu Liren was full of eyes and only wanted to say one thing:

I am not, I did not, I am wronged!I really don't want to hide anything!

Fortunately, compared with the guards in the mansion, the imperial doctors can still be said to be "reasonable".

After hearing that Yu Liren was not fully sure about vaccinia vaccination, he stopped messing around and discussed with Yu Liren the possibility of vaccinia in preventing smallpox infection.

It happened that Yu Liren was also very uncertain about the method of vaccinia vaccination, and he saw that the imperial physicians were interested.

Now, I simply told several imperial doctors what Gu Yanshu and he said, that cowpox and smallpox virus have the same origin, and the cured effect after being infected with cowpox is the same as that after being cured from smallpox.

Not to mention, the method of preventing smallpox infection by inoculating vaccinia, not to mention Yu Liren, even several imperial physicians, have never heard of it before.

But as the saying goes, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, let alone those who can be recruited into the palace as imperial doctors, all of them are excellent medical skills.

It was unheard of to prevent smallpox with cowpox before, but I heard about it today.

Now that I heard that, even in Prince Li's mansion, a considerable number of people including Gu Yanshu have already been vaccinated, so the imperial doctors had to get together and deliberate.

The last few imperial doctors discussed for nearly two hours, and after several disputes and debates, their opinions were finally unified:

According to what Her Royal Highness Princess Li said, vaccination with vaccinia may indeed prevent smallpox infection, and this possibility is not small.

Moreover, according to the practice experience of the imperial physicians in the past and the records in ancient family books and manuscripts, the treatment of vaccinia is indeed much easier than that of smallpox.

Taking a step back, even if vaccinia cannot prevent smallpox, with careful care, there should be no serious consequences, at least not life-threatening.

After reaching this conclusion, Yu Liren can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief:

You must know that after inoculating Gu Yanshu, he was already very uncertain, and he was afraid that this method would be useless and would harm Gu Yanshu.

Now after hearing that at least the imperial doctors will not endanger his life, Yu Liren can sleep tonight.

But even so, Yu Liren and several imperial physicians did not dare to relax at all, and put all their energy on observing the follow-up reactions of people who had been vaccinated.

Yu Liren thought of the various sequelae that Gu Yanshu had said might appear after the vaccination, and was afraid that something might happen to Gu Yanshu, so he wanted to take care of it as soon as possible.

On the basis of this, several imperial physicians have another purpose:

Observe the various reactions that will occur after vaccinia is inoculated on humans, and verify whether it is true that vaccinia prevents smallpox.

What Yu Liren and several imperial physicians didn't expect was that among the more than [-] people who had been inoculated with cowpox, including Gu Yanshu, Zhi Ge, and Mei Yanxi, the one who reacted the most was actually Yu Liren himself.

Although other people also experienced symptoms such as fever, headache, and sore throat after vaccination, these symptoms disappeared on their own after a short time.

Only the wound on the arm where the vaccinia was inoculated remained, and it gradually began to blister and fill with grout, forming pustules.

Only Yu Liren had a high fever since that night, and in the next few days he developed headaches, vomiting and other symptoms.

In addition, the wound at the connection point also reacted more than others.

In addition to the inoculation site, small pimples even appeared on Yu Liren's body.

If it weren't for Gu Yanshu's previous words, the imperial physicians would have suspected that Yu Liren had contracted smallpox for no reason.

Fortunately, after several days of taking care of the imperial physicians day and night, the pimples on Yu Liren's body gradually scabbed and fell off, and various symptoms on his body also improved. I believe he will recover soon. Several imperial physicians breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Liren's reaction was so obvious that it was difficult for others to ignore it.

Under Mei Yanxi's subordinates, those strong men who failed to catch up with the vaccination in the first place finally believed at this moment that Yu Liren said at the beginning, "It's not intentional, it's just the effect of the cowpox and the reaction after vaccination." It's not clear" statement.

Looking at the eyes of the little old man, they became a lot kinder.

However, Yu Liren's violent reaction after vaccination still did not dispel the enthusiasm of those strong men who wanted to be vaccinated.

After all, although Yu Liren's reaction was big, it's okay in the end, isn't it?

Besides, apart from Yu Liren, other people who were vaccinated with cowpox did not have such a big reaction. Princess Li also said that this should be because everyone's physical condition is different.

Her Royal Highness Concubine Li also said that this is because Dr. Yu has been studying medical skills in the palace all year round and rarely exercises, and because he is older and his physical condition is not as good as that of a young and strong guy.

Haven't you seen those guards in the palace, because they have been practicing martial arts all year round, they are physically strong and they are in their prime, so they hardly react?

The strong men under Mei Yanxi said, are they not as good at martial arts as the guard brothers in the palace, or are they not young enough?

The brothers in the palace are all fine, and they will be fine too!

It just so happened that the imperial physicians also wanted to observe the reactions of more people after being inoculated with vaccinia. After confirming that the first batch of vaccinated people had no abnormalities, they directly obtained the method of vaccinia extraction and inoculation from Yu Liren, which satisfied these needs. The requirements of the strong men.

And those who were escorting the imperial physician and Gu Yanshu under the emperor's order saw that the people under Prince Li's mansion and Mei Yanxi's subordinates were so active, and they felt a little moved:

Regardless of whether the cowpox can prevent smallpox or not, so many people are eager to want it, and it must be wrong to think about it. In the end, they simply knew about the imperial doctor and asked for vaccination.

Even Gu Yanshu was very surprised by everyone's acceptance of vaccinia vaccination.

We must know that even in the later generations with highly developed medical technology and technology, people will have a certain resistance to the new vaccines.

It is believed that a new type of vaccine that has not been verified by a large number of samples and time may hide some deficiencies that have not yet been discovered.

It cannot be said that such thinking is wrong. After all, it can be said that it is human instinct to be cautious in matters related to life.

However, in Tianqi, even though he had clearly stated that vaccinia vaccination was not completely safe, these people still chose to vaccinate, so how could Gu Yanshu not be surprised?

But in any case, it is also a good thing for Gu Yanshu that the people under him are highly receptive to vaccination.

When Gu Yanshu arrived in Yizhou, most of the people who followed him had been inoculated with cowpox and recovered.

Although Gu Yanshu has never been to Yizhou before, he is not unfamiliar with Yizhou.

Because in the expedited letters between him and Qin Lu, Qin Lu would always mention people or places in Yizhou.

In order for Gu Yanshu to have a sense of being in the scene, Qin Lu would always observe attentively and take great pains to ponder over his own words and sentences.

In Qin Lu's writing, although Yizhou is not as prosperous as Kyoto, it is still very lively.

Ordinary people are roughly the same as the people in Kyoto, but they seem to be more hospitable than the people in Kyoto.

Perhaps it was because he was far away from the capital, and the influence of public opinion was relatively small. Except for the first half month, in the later time, few people showed fear towards Qin Lu.

Especially after Qin Lu and Gu Yanshu exchanged letters one after another in a hurry, new rumors related to King Li gradually spread in the streets and alleys of Yizhou.

For example, he is very affectionate with Princess Li, for example, he is a very strict wife and so on.

Later, I don't know if it was the officials from Yizhou or Kyoto who came with Qin Lu. When communicating with people outside, they slipped up, saying that whether King Li is in a good mood or not, it all depends on whether Princess Li gives face or not.

The people of Yizhou immediately knew that the rumors about His Royal Highness Li Wang's wife's strict control were not entirely rumors.

Since then, the people in Yizhou looked at Qin Lu more casually.

In addition, there are many interesting things in Yizhou in Qin Lu's writing.

For example, Gu Yanshu once only saw the hydrangea recruiting relatives in film and television works.

Qin Lu even saw it once in person. That day, Qin Lu and his men went to the embankment to inspect, and on the way back to the residence, they met a girl throwing hydrangea.

If it weren't for Qin Lu's strong martial arts skills and quick reaction, maybe the hydrangea would have jumped into his arms in a daze.

Of course, when receiving this letter, Gu Yanshu could even read Qin Lun's embarrassment and nervousness from the lines.

Those words and sentences seemed to reveal the meanings of "Does this king think you are delicious?", "Look at how popular this king is, don't you cherish this king?" and so on.

In the end, Gu Yanshu naturally cooperated with Qin Lu's performance very much, and sent a "warning letter" to his Xiaolu, warning someone to go out, always remember his identity as a married husband, and stay away from those Yingying Yanyans outside. What messy hydrangeas are farther away.

Gu Yanshu didn't know how his little deer reacted when he saw his "warning letter", but he could guess that his face should be serious and the corners of his lips slightly raised, but for the sake of his own image, he had to desperately turn the corners of his mouth That arc is pressed downwards, and the tips of the ears are red.

……

But now, Gu Yanshu looks at Yizhou in front of him, but he can't feel the enthusiasm of the people, the lively and fresh things written in his own Xiaolu's heart at all.

Yizhou at this moment reveals a lifeless look everywhere, even the air is filled with a depressing atmosphere.

It seems that there is an invisible big hand in midair, exerting invisible pressure on this land.

Before entering the city, Gu Yanshu felt faintly out of breath.

Ever since it was discovered that Qin Lu was infected with smallpox, Yizhou began to impose restrictions.

At this time in Yizhou, people are allowed to enter but not to leave. Even if they enter, they need to go through layers of audits and verifications before they can enter the city.

Before Gu Yanshu came, the capital had already sent an urgent dispatch of eight hundred miles, and informed Gu Yanshu and his party of their identities.

Now that Gu Yanshu entered the city, he naturally did not encounter much hindrance.

After entering the city, Gu Yanshu discovered that the situation in Yizhou seemed to be somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Although there were not many people in the streets and alleys, and they consciously lowered their volume when talking, overall, the order was quite normal.

This appearance, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a city that was attacked by the epidemic.

The magistrate of Yizhou, who came to receive Gu Yanshu, could see the confusion in Gu Yanshu's heart almost at a glance, and explained in a low voice:

"Because it was discovered in a timely manner, only Yanglin County is currently in a serious situation, and no one has been found to be infected in other places, except..."

Speaking of this, the magistrate of Yizhou was a little speechless. Except for His Royal Highness Li Wang, almost no second infected person was found.

But at this moment, looking at Gu Yanshu's face as calm as water, the words of Yizhou Zhizhou stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it no matter what.

Although the officials in Yizhou had never seen Gu Yanshu, they were very familiar with him.

Just as Gu Yanshu is familiar with Yizhou, the officials of Yizhou almost all know about Her Highness Princess Li from the mouths of others.

For example, from the performance of His Highness Li Wang and many servants of Li Wangfu.

Now in Yizhou, who doesn't know that His Majesty King Li is a very strict wife?

Originally, the officials in Yizhou thought that the one who could tidy up His Royal Highness Li and the people in the palace so obediently must be a more powerful and ruthless character than His Royal Highness.

So in the minds of the officials in Yizhou, there appeared an image of a giant who was five big and three thick, one arm could reach the thickness of other people's thighs, and one fist was bigger than other people's heads.

But later, I learned from the officials who came with King Li and from the capital that there are other great things about this Princess Li, and I feel that this princess is a little different from what they imagined.

Before I heard that Princess Li was a full-fledged dandy, except for her good looks, she was a worthless idiot.

The officials in Yizhou thought that His Highness Li Wang should have taken a fancy to Li Wangfei's face.

After the initial surprise, it seemed reasonable again.

After all, there has been a saying about the Hero Tomb in Beauty Township since ancient times. There is no doubt that His Highness Li Wang is a hero, and it should be fate to be sad at the Beauty Pass.

So the image of the giant in the minds of Yizhou officials was replaced by a male and female face, indistinguishable from male and female, and a peerless face.

Later, I heard that after marrying Li Wang, this concubine Li seemed to have changed her ways.

It's no longer the random nonsense like before, it seems that he suddenly opened up overnight and became a good money maker.

Nowadays, the most profitable businesses in Beijing are almost all in the hands of Princess Li.

Speaking of this, some people described the wonderful price war between Gu Yanshu and the Zhou family to the officials of Yizhou with great interest.

But the officials in Yizhou did not experience these wonderful events personally, nor could they empathize with the officials in Kyoto.

In their traditional thinking, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the last.

No matter how wonderful Gu Yanshu's performance was and how profitable the shops under his hands were repeatedly evaluated by the officials in central Beijing, in the eyes of Yizhou officials, there is still an indelible stench of money.

Although they echoed the officials in Kyoto, in the minds of the officials in Yizhou, that peerless face was more or less tainted with a philistine shrewdness.

Later, the officials in Yizhou learned more and more information from the officials in Kyoto, and the portrayal of Gu Yanshu in their minds also changed again and again.

But no matter how he changed it, the peerless appearance and the lingering smell of copper remained in the minds of Yizhou officials.

However, at this moment, after seeing Gu Yanshu himself, the magistrates of Yizhou realized how superficial and stupid they were in portraying the image of Princess Li in their hearts.

Concubine Li standing in front of him had a good appearance, and she really lived up to the reputation of "the most beautiful capital city" in the mouth of the officials in Kyoto.

Although as they thought, there is a sense of masculine and feminine, but it is by no means indistinguishable.

On the contrary, the heroic spirit between his brows and his calm eyes allow others to determine his gender the first time they see him.

In addition, the magistrate of Yizhou couldn't see the smell of copper and shrewd philistine in Gu Yanshu's body, but could only feel the nobility and elegance exuding from his body.

If he hadn't already known the identity of Princess Li, the magistrate of Yizhou would even have thought that the person standing in front of him at this moment was the talented young master from the family of poets and rites.

Before that, the image of Concubine Li portrayed in their minds was far from Gu Yanshu himself, not to mention one-tenth of Gu Yanshu's.

It was also at the first glance of seeing Gu Yanshu, the magistrate of Yizhou seemed to know why His Royal Highness was as cold and harsh as King Li, and could be turned into soft fingers for Princess Li.

Why are those guards in Prince Li's mansion who never lie to others, when they mention Princess Li, their eyes are full of pride and full of conviction.

Such a person, with such a demeanor, seems to have a natural desire to be followed.

Gu Yanshu didn't know what Yizhou Zhizhou was thinking about at the moment. After hearing his unfinished words, Gu Yanshu paused:

"You mean to say that outside of Yanglin County, the prince is the only one who contracted smallpox?"

"It's not all." Yizhou Zhizhou glanced at Gu Yanshu's face, and then quickly looked back, "Among the officials who went to Yanglin County with the prince, there were also infected, but they are now infected. Has passed away."

The more he spoke, the lower the voice of Yizhou Zhizhou became. In the end, it was almost inaudible.

The speed at which those officials passed away was so fast that the magistrate of Yizhou was a little caught off guard, and it was precisely because of the death of those officials that the magistrate of Yizhou was sure that King Li was indeed infected with smallpox.

Thinking of this, Yizhou Zhizhou's expression turned a little ugly, after all, the situation of His Royal Highness Li Wang at the moment is really not good.

Gu Yanshu frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, he continued to ask:

"What about those people in Prince Li's Mansion? Are there any infected?"

"It's not."

After thinking for a moment, Yizhou Zhizhou gave a definite answer.

It's strange to say, I don't know if the servants in Prince Li's mansion had better luck or what happened, they clearly went to Yanglin County with the officials and His Highness King Li, but only King Li and a few officials got infected Smallpox, but the accompanying guards are fine.

Gu Yanshu nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, and then asked:

"What about Xingren? Where is he now?"

"Master Xingren is still with the prince, he is not willing to leave."

The magistrate of Yizhou quickly answered.

Ever since His Royal Highness King Li was diagnosed with smallpox, Xingren felt very guilty and even wanted to take care of King Li himself.

In the end, if it wasn't for Yizhou Zhizhou and others trying their best to stop him, they would have persuaded Xingren to make a big deal.

It also means that it would be bad if Xingren is also infected, and it also means that Xingren is indeed not as good as the girls and servants below in serving people.

He also moved out the matter of the Yizhou dam.

Now that Qin Lu and most of the officials from Kyoto are in trouble, it is difficult for Yizhou to find a backbone.

Xingren is already the one with the largest official position among the currently healthy people.

If Xingren can't stay awake and give clear instructions, if something happens to the embankment at that time, won't the prince's efforts in the past few months be in vain?

In the end, after hearing these words from the magistrate of Yizhou, Xingren completely gave up the idea of ​​taking care of Qin Lu himself, and let the magistrate of Yizhou find two nanny who had suffered from smallpox to take care of him.

But that's the case, Xingren has to inquire about Qin Lu's affairs in every detail every day, and after finishing the daily business, he will go to wait outside the courtyard where Qin Lu is resting now, so as to get the news as soon as possible .

While talking, Gu Yanshu and his party had already arrived at the temporary house prepared by Yizhou Zhizhou for the officials in Kyoto.

Since Qin Lu was diagnosed with smallpox, all the healthy people in the yard withdrew out. In the whole yard, except for Qin Lu, there were only a few nuns who took care of Qin Lu and guarded outside the yard. The servants of the palace are gone.

Gu Yanshu and his entourage were quite a number, so the commotion was naturally not small.

As soon as the group arrived, Xingren heard the movement.

After turning his head to see Gu Yanshu's face clearly, a trace of surprise flashed across Xingren's face first, and after recovering, he knelt down towards Gu Yanshu without thinking:

"princess……"

After calling Gu Yanshu, Xingren realized that he couldn't say anything about what happened next.

What can he say?

What face does he have to stand in front of the princess now?

When leaving the capital, the concubine had urged him to take good care of the prince.

He also said that it doesn't matter whether he does meritorious deeds or not. Safety comes first. As long as Qin Lu can go back safely, it is more important than anything else.

How did he promise the princess at that time?

He promised that he would protect the prince well, and told him to eat on time so that he would not get hurt.

But how long did it take?

The prince was suffering from an incurable disease, lying on the bed uncertain of his life or death, but it was him who was fine and stood here peacefully.

During this period of time, Xingren had thought countless times how good it would be for the person suffering from smallpox, if possible, he would even be willing to exchange with the prince.

At this moment, after seeing Gu Yanshu, the idea in Xingren's mind reached its peak directly.
