Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"What if he's allergic to penicillin? If he takes this pill, he might die right there and then!"

Thinking about this, Wei Wu immediately took back the amoxicillin and replaced it with a box of cephalexin.

Although people who are allergic to penicillin may also be allergic to cephalosporin, the probability is still relatively low.

After preparing the medicine and changing his clothes, Wei Wu followed Li Feng out of the mansion.

With the eunuchs of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace leading the way, neither the city patrols nor the palace guards dared to stop them.

The journey was smooth and we soon arrived outside Kunning Palace.

He glanced at the people kneeling in front of the Kunning Palace, and then saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao standing not far away.

Wei Wu hurried forward and bowed.

"Commoner Wei Wu..."

Before General Wei could finish his words, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed him.

"Alright, Xiao Wu, it's already this late, stop going through all this empty formalities with us."

Zhu Yuanzhang's simple words shocked everyone around him.

Has His Majesty ever been so kind? Is this still the same almighty emperor?

You weren't so kind and friendly when you were punching and kicking us just now!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care what they were thinking and directly pulled Wei Wu aside.

"Xiao Wu, the imperial physician said that if Xiongying develops a rash in the next two days, it's likely smallpox!"

Hearing this, Wei Wu silently put away the cephalexin.

If Zhu Xiongying had a cold, Wei Wu could still think of a way to deal with it.

But even with the system, he was helpless against smallpox.

After taking another look at the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the palace gate, Wei Wu finally understood why there was such a scene.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and then Wei Wu whispered:

"Uncle Zhu, are you sure it's smallpox?"

Hearing Wei Wu's question, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly repeated what the imperial physician had said.

High fever, fatigue, headache, palpitations (which can also be called a rapid heartbeat), and back pain.

After hearing these symptoms, Wei Wu's scalp felt numb. These were not typical early symptoms of smallpox!

After a moment's silence, Wei Wu spoke:

"That shouldn't be wrong, this is the early symptom of smallpox!"

After saying this, Wei Wu immediately fell into deep thought because something seemed very strange to him.

How did Zhu Xiongying suddenly contract smallpox?

If smallpox broke out in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang would have ordered its isolation long ago, or even killed the infected people directly.

How could he allow smallpox to continue to spread, let alone spread to his most important grandson?

It is certain that smallpox has never occurred in the palace, so how did Zhu Xiongying get smallpox?

Thinking of this, Wei Wu simply asked directly.

"Uncle Zhu, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the palace in the past two weeks? Also, has there been any outbreak of smallpox in the palace before?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that smallpox could be transmitted from human to human, so he just thought that Wei Wu was asking about the source.

"I asked Biao'er. He was originally planning to take Xiongying out of the palace for an inspection, but after meeting you, he decided not to go out anymore."

"Also, I sent someone to investigate. No one in the palace had smallpox before Xiongying. It couldn't have been spread by someone else."

When Wei Wu heard this, he understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was limited by the times.

People of this era only knew that smallpox could be transmitted from person to person, but they didn't know that smallpox could only be transmitted from other people.

Although humans are the only host of the smallpox virus, the virus will not suddenly appear in the human body.

It is impossible to suddenly get smallpox for no reason. It can only be infected by others.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu simply explained it to Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

"Mr. Zhu, smallpox is different from the common cold. The common cold can originate from oneself, but smallpox can only be transmitted from others."

"That's why I asked you those two questions just now, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have contracted smallpox from someone else!"
