After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Zheng Xian said, "You have more important things to do. Let's put the matter of the Imperial Merchant of Medicinal Materials aside for now. We can deal with them when they take the opportunity to cause trouble."

Zheng Yan quickly replied: "Yes, Father, I understand."

Zheng Xian thought of the Fan family, so he said to Zheng Yan: "Send someone to investigate the Fan family of Jishengtang, and make sure to investigate thoroughly."

"The Fan family of Jishengtang?" Zheng Yan was surprised and asked, "But something happened to the Fan family?"

Zheng Xian said unhappily, "Just check it when I told you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Zheng Yan was so confused by the scolding that he could only say, "Yes, Father."

Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "There are many things to do right now, so hurry up and get busy. Also, from today on, no matter who you are, even if it's your mother, if they come to you to talk about something, you must report it to me, and don't act on impulse."

Zheng Yan was shocked. His mother had indeed sent someone to look for him, but he was too busy and had no time to pay his respects to her. How did his father know that his mother had looked for him?

Zheng Yan quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Father, I understand."

At this moment, a guard walked in quickly from outside the door, knelt on the ground and said to Zheng Xian: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, General Zhao and his three thousand cavalry have returned to the Shili Pavilion in the imperial city."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xian said happily, "Changguang is finally back! Quick, quick, Prince, go to the city gate on my behalf to welcome Changguang into the city."

Zheng Yan quickly said, "Yes, Father, I will go right away."

After Zheng Yan left, Zheng Xian asked the guards, "Chang Guang brought back 3,000 cavalrymen. Are there any casualties?"

The guard replied, "Your Majesty, General Zhao was attacked by bandits on the way, but General Zhao was so powerful that his 3,000 cavalry returned intact."

Zheng Xian laughed loudly and said, "As expected of Chang Guang, he is really mighty."

Zheng Xian turned to Wei Yi and said, "Pass on my order to hold a banquet tonight. I want to reward General Zhao and his cavalry."

Wei Yi quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will ask someone to prepare the banquet right away."

When Wei Yi was about to leave, Zheng Xian hurriedly called him, "Has Ah Man left the palace?"

Wei Yi replied: "I don't know, she just rode away on a horse."

Zheng Xian touched his chin and said, "How can such a lively scene be without her?"

Wei Yi was a little speechless. It was already so late, and he was still thinking about seeing Ah Man and General Zhao making fun of each other. Just now, Ah Man rushed out of the house, and it was obvious that he was devoted to the epidemic. But you, as an emperor, only want to watch the fun!

But Wei Yi didn't dare to contradict Zheng Xian, so he could only say: "A'man has been gone for so long, she must have left the palace a long time ago, and I'm afraid she won't be able to attend the banquet tonight."

Zheng Xianyi brushed his sleeves, put his hands behind his back and walked out, saying as he walked: "What a pity, what a pity."

Of course I didn't know that Zheng Xian was plotting against me behind my back.

I rode my horse all the way to the Imperial Medical Office, which was in chaos.

All the imperial physicians had to come back to be on duty and were not allowed to go home, so the Imperial Physician's Mansion was packed with people. It took me a long time to squeeze in.

Doctor Sun was busy in the pharmacy. He was startled when he saw me and asked, "Why are you here again?"

I pulled him aside and said, "I'm going to Xishan Royal Ranch to plant cowpox. Have you finished the things I asked you to do this morning?"

Doctor Sun took me to his medical room, where I saw some syringes and masks made of bamboo tubes on the table.

Doctor Sun pointed at the things and said, "We are in a hurry, so I only made these. Do you think they meet the requirements?"

I counted and found there were only ten syringes and thirty masks. They were all made very crudely. And there were no rubber bands at that time. The masks only had four straps sewn on them, making them very inconvenient to wear.

But considering the tight time schedule, both of them were done 70% to 80% well, which is already remarkable.

Especially the needle in the syringe, although the needle tip is relatively thick, it can solve many problems.

I raised the problems with these things and pointed them out to Doctor Sun one by one. Doctor Sun nodded and took notes. I estimated that these things could be improved very soon.

I carefully wrapped the syringe with a white cloth, then handed the mask to Doctor Sun and said, "Send someone to send the two doctors to Xishan. I want to use the virus from them to inoculate cows. This matter must be kept secret. If it gets out, if something happens to the two doctors, we will have to wait for the next infected person to appear before we can use the virus to inoculate cowpox, which will delay a lot of time."

Doctor Sun thought for a moment and said, "I understand. This is an emergency and we cannot afford to make any mistakes. I will definitely send someone I trust to take them to Xishan."

I asked, “How are they doing?”

Doctor Sun said, "They were both still alive and kicking this morning, but in the afternoon they started to feel high, had bone pain, and started to develop red spots on their bodies."

I nodded and said, "It's already starting to happen. You must ask the escort to wear a mask to avoid getting infected."

Doctor Sun said, "Okay, you can take these pills with you. I spent a lot of time making these pills. I know these pills are far from enough, but time is tight. You can take them first. When new pills are made, I will send someone to deliver some to you."

I bowed to Doctor Sun and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You must take care of yourself. You must not fall down. Otherwise, the Imperial Medical Office will be in trouble."

Doctor Sun laughed and said, "I am not that important. You, on the other hand, must be careful. Once someone knows that you are extracting vaccines to fight the smallpox epidemic, it may be harmful to you."

I waved to Doctor Sun and said, "I understand. Take care of yourself."

Doctor Sun also waved his hand and said, "Take care, Ah Man."

I left the Imperial Medical Office with a pack of syringes.

I have to go to Changlu Academy to find Zhao Jinping first, tell him about the epidemic, and ask him to buy enough food in the academy in the next few days, and then stay indoors until the vaccine comes out and he can leave the academy after being vaccinated.

I rode my horse and rushed to Changlu Academy.

The gate of the academy was closed. I knocked on the door a few times, and a kid poked his head out of the doorway to take a look. When he saw it was me, he said quickly, "Go in through the side door. This door is too heavy and I can't open it."

This little rascal is not the same as last time, but what he said is the same.

I didn't come by carriage this time, so it didn't matter where I entered.

So I said, "Okay, then please open the side door and let me in."

After opening the side door, I walked in holding Xiao Huihui’s hand.

The little carrot head followed me and kept peeking at me. I couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

The little carrot-head blushed and said, "I think you are awesome. Not only did you save my teacher, but you also put those two bad brothers in jail. We all think you are a hero!"

Hero?

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not a hero. I just happened to see your two brothers doing something bad and I just happened to arrest them."
