Shaoyao was looking through the medical books left by the young lady, "I found it!" A highly contagious disease: smallpox. The treatment of smallpox is mainly symptomatic supportive therapy, trying to alleviate the patient's pain. Those who survive will be immune for life; those who can't survive will die. The overall mortality rate is about 30%, and the mortality rate of young children will be higher.

The book says that the human pox method was hundreds of years earlier than the cowpox method! It was the earliest smallpox vaccine, but sometimes it was not safe to vaccinate. Because it was a live virus, some people would get smallpox after being vaccinated.

The cowpox method is relatively safer. The cowpox virus is very weak in pathogenicity to humans, and the symptoms of cowpox infection are very mild, not to mention fatal. The specific method is to use the pus of cowpox to apply to the broken skin on the arm to prevent smallpox!

Shaoyao hurried to the outskirts of Beijing to look for the cow. Near Qingfeng Temple in the outskirts of Beijing, she was stopped by an aunt, "Excuse me, are you Miss Shaoyao, the disciple of Doctor Su?"

Shaoyao turned around and saw an old woman who looked familiar, and a child around eight or nine years old beside her. "I'm Shaoyao, who are you?"

"Oh, don't you remember me? You and Doctor Su saved me and my grandson before. Look at the scar on my neck, it was Doctor Su who cut it for me." As the old woman spoke, she showed her the scar.

Shaoyao immediately remembered the old woman she had rescued at Qingfeng Temple and had taken her in for a while.

"How is Doctor Su?"

"The young lady... has passed away." Shaoyao said sadly.

"Ah! How can you say that? She is so young!" The old woman was surprised!

"She is the God-Emperor."

The old woman was shocked again by Shaoyao's words, "Divine Emperor? Oh my God, you are blind!"

When she calmed down a bit, Shaoyao asked, "Do you know who raises cattle around here?"

The old woman said, "Then you've asked the right person. My family has twenty cows!"

Shaoyao was overjoyed, "Take me to see it!"

Shaoyao had to find a cow with cowpox. The young lady's medical book had drawings of what the skin looked like after cowpox, so Shaoyao only had to compare them one by one to find the cow.

It is said that everything is destined by God. I hope the lady in heaven has blessed me so that I can find a cow that meets the requirements.

Otherwise, how could I happen to meet the person I rescued that year, and it just so happens that her family raises cattle!

Shaoyao was able to obtain the pus from the cowpox quickly. "Miss Shaoyao, what do you want to use this for?"

"This is a vaccine for smallpox! There has been a trend of smallpox spreading again recently!"

"Oh, I was just worried. I'm not afraid of this with my old bones, but my grandson is only that old. Miss Shaoyao, can you give some of the medicine you made to my grandson?"

"Auntie, you are being polite. Thanks to you, I was able to obtain this cowpox. I will naturally vaccinate you. But I want to take it back for experiments first!"

"Then Auntie, when you finish your experiment, don't forget us!"

"Don't worry!"

Nangong Li was worried that smallpox would continue to spread and affect more people. On the other hand, he was also worried about the three children in the palace, all of whom were less than a year old. If they were infected, he didn't dare to think about it...

"Yueyue, you must keep our children safe and sound!"

At this time in the palace, Hu Bilian, who was already several months pregnant, was strolling back and forth in her own palace.

"Don't provoke him before the child is born. People in this palace are tight-lipped and dare not tell anyone. As long as the child is born safely, he will have to recognize it even if he doesn't want to!" Empress Dowager Shouxi narrowed her eyes, looking confident.

"Yes, everything will be arranged by the Queen Mother!" Hu Bilian was actually trying to curry favor with someone at this time.

"Smallpox is spreading now. If we work well, we might be able to get rid of all three children in one fell swoop! By then, the child in your belly will be his only choice. If he doesn't acknowledge it, all the ministers in the court will force him to acknowledge it!"

At this time, many people came to the gate of Linjiang Immortal Palace to pray for the God to appear. They were worried that smallpox would spread to their families.

It is said that the Emperor of God has ascended to heaven, so he can hear everyone’s petitions in heaven.

Ordinary people didn't have much knowledge, but they all wanted to come and worship and pray for peace for their families. Suddenly, more and more people came to the gate of Linjiang Fairy Palace.

Shaoyao found the cowpox pus, collected it with a cotton swab, and put it all in small laboratory bottles.

She tried it on herself first, and Baiji also wanted to try it, "Then let's do it together! I believe in you, Miss!"

“We want to try too!”

About twenty days later, everyone in Linjiang Xianfu had been successfully vaccinated against smallpox, and the scabs fell off, leaving a round scar.

So Shaoyao wrote a letter to the court, volunteering to go to the west to vaccinate the people, and the Imperial Medical Bureau fully cooperated.

Empress Dowager Shouxi had great difficulty finding clothes worn by smallpox patients from outside, hoping to infect the three little ones.

Unexpectedly, Shaoyao had taken the lead and vaccinated the three little ones with the cowpox vaccine to prevent smallpox.

Shaoyao has to go to the epidemic site. It is her responsibility as a doctor. If the young lady were there, she would definitely go too!

Since the lady is not here, she will complete it for her!

Because some people were afraid of the cowpox vaccination method, some people spread rumors about vaccination: saying that some children were healthy but died after being vaccinated.
