My father is Jiajing

Chapter 212 King Jing’s Situation

After returning from Shunyi, Zhu Zaigui was in such a good mood that he couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of dinner.

This also made Meng Chong, who usually cooked for him, very happy.

You should know that Zhu Zaigui was very strict about his dinner on normal days and only ate until he was 80% full.

When Meng Chong asked, he said it was for health preservation and he would not eat too much anyway.

To be honest, Zhu Zaigui didn't want to have such eating habits.

Unfortunately, there was no electricity, no internet, and no rich nightlife in ancient times.

So in order to maintain the quality of rest at night, Zhu Zaigui could only eat less at night and go to bed early.

Otherwise, according to the lifestyle before the time travel, not only would I have to eat a full dinner, I would even have to have a midnight snack!

This shows how stimulating Li Shizhen’s research results are.

It’s a pity that Li Shizhen is still unable to complete the mass production or purification of penicillin.

Therefore, the penicillin produced by Li Shizhen is strictly speaking still a semi-finished product or a defective product.

You must be extremely careful when using it, and you must first conduct certain safety tests before testing the effect of the drug on the human body little by little.

Otherwise, this injection of penicillin was supposed to save a life, but ended up sending the person to death. Wouldn't that make it a poison?
Therefore, the road of scientific research is really full of ups and downs, and those who walk on this road really have a long way to go!
But even so, even though the risks of penicillin are huge now, we should not have any fear.

Don’t let yourself be afraid of something!
After all, in the development of the existing medical system, even if penicillin may contain unpredictable toxicity, it is still an irreplaceable miracle drug!
With it, many terminal illnesses will become common diseases that can be easily cured.

Therefore, even though penicillin has many risks now, it still cannot stop its huge practical value.

After finishing his meal, Zhu Zaigui said to Meng Chong in high spirits, "Do you know? Li Shizhen actually succeeded! I never thought that he could complete the cultivation and extraction of penicillin so quickly."

"Although the penicillin he has cultivated and extracted is still very crude, it is also a rare miracle drug in the world!"

"If we can further increase the production of penicillin and further improve its purity, I can't imagine what the world will be like in the future."

"Colds, tuberculosis, and all kinds of indescribable inflammation can be easily treated with penicillin. Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

Zhu Zaigui's words made Meng Chong confused at first, and then shocked.

At first, he didn't understand why his prince was so excited about Imperial Physician Li Shizhen.

But now, after hearing the last words of his prince, Meng Chong began to tremble with excitement.

"Your Highness, is this true? Did Dean Li really develop such a treasure? If it can really easily cure colds, tuberculosis, and some inexplicable inflammations, it would be like a magic pill!"

Zhu Zaigui laughed, "Yes, that's right! In a sense, this is an elixir, but it is also poisonous. If you are not careful, it will be a deadly poison. So, even if you want to use it, you have to use it with caution and not lightly."

After hearing this, Meng Chong couldn't help but sigh: "Good fortune is closely related to misfortune, and misfortune is closely related to good fortune. It is natural that such a magical medicine has such a flaw."

As soon as Meng Chong sighed, Zhu Zaigui immediately refuted: "No, the reason why penicillin is now both good and bad is not because of its nature, but because of the limited conditions, Li Shizhen and others have no way to further purify it."

"If penicillin can be completely purified, except for a few people who are allergic to this drug, the rest of the general public will benefit from it." Meng Chong couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this, "Is it really that powerful?"

Then Meng Chong asked humbly, "Why are you allergic, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Zaiqi explained: "Allergy is the body's overreaction to certain foods or smells. For example, when spring comes and flowers bloom, some people cannot enjoy this beautiful life because they may be overly sensitive to pollen due to their own physical conditions, which leads to shortness of breath or rashes on the body. This is an allergy."

After listening to Zhu Zai's explanation, Meng Chong seemed to suddenly understand something. Meng Chong said, "So it turns out that Prince Jing is allergic."

"what?!"

Zhu Zaigui, who had not taken it seriously at first, suddenly looked at Meng Chong in shock, "What did you say? King Jing is actually allergic to something? What is he allergic to?"

Meng Chong said: "According to what the prince just said, Prince Jing is allergic to pollen. Every spring when the flowers bloom, Prince Jing will have a particularly severe respiratory disease, always feeling short of breath. If it weren't for the imperial physician who has been watching over him during this season, Prince Jing's condition would be hard to describe."

After hearing this news, Zhu Zaigui suddenly became serious, "Is this true? I didn't even know about it?"

Meng Chong said: "Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. Few people have spread this matter, and no one dares to gossip about the royal family, so it is normal that Your Highness is not aware of this matter."

Zhu Zaiqi sighed again, "It seems that I am an incompetent elder brother. I didn't even know that my younger brother was in such a serious condition. Tomorrow, you will go to the Jing Palace on my behalf and tell my younger brother, Zhen, not to open doors or windows when the flowers are in bloom. If you really have to go out, you must wear a thick mask. You must not let the pollen irritate his airways again, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Meng Chong bowed in a low voice: "Yes, I will remember it."

Zhu Zaigui also hummed, "Okay, we have been busy enough today, and I am a little tired. You can go down as well."

Meng Chong bowed again and took his leave, then blew out the lights in Zhu Zai's room one by one before leaving Zhu Zai's bedroom.

Shortly after Meng Chong left, a spy hidden in the darkness in the palace also completed the chat record between Zhu Zaigui and Meng Chong.

Then the hidden man disappeared into the darkness again and retreated quietly, as if he had never appeared.

Of course, it is impossible for such a powerful spy to record Zhu Zaigui's words and deeds at all times, nor is it possible for him to explore Zhu Zaigui's secrets anytime and anywhere.

After all, there are times and places where these hidden players cannot enter or approach.

So in general, these hidden players are just ordinary everyday hidden players, and they will not deliberately explore Zhu Zaigui's secrets too much.

Because they are also very sensible, they know that their master's secrets are not something they can easily explore. Once they explore too deep, they will explore too much.

Regardless of whether his identity as a hidden agent would be exposed, Huang Jin would kill them personally.

Because their duty is not to monitor the prince, but to protect him. Once their actions touch the bottom line that should not be touched, then there is only one way left for them, and that is death!
After all, the emperor only has two good descendants. If something unexpected happens, their entire family will be buried and will not be able to pay a single penny.

Therefore, even if these spies eavesdropped on Zhu Zaigui's daily conversations, they were only trying to ensure Zhu Zaigui's safety, and they would not be intent on exploring Zhu Zaigui's secrets.

Moreover, under the system and conditions of the Ming Dynasty, there was no precedent of princes rebelling.

Therefore, these spies hiding in the palace would not have the so-called desire to make meritorious deeds.

Because doing nothing is achievement!
