After Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally immersed in sorrow, immediately burst out with an extremely strong murderous intent.

Even Zhu Biao, who was standing beside him, had bloodshot eyes and a terrifying expression on his face!

Afterwards, Wei Wu heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, which was as cold as the Netherworld.

"Xiao Wu! Are you serious about what you said?"

Wei Wu nodded, and then continued to explain:

"In our time, although we could only prevent it and not cure it, there was a lot of research on smallpox."

"Smallpox infection has an incubation period of seven to seventeen days, with symptoms usually appearing between nine and twelve days."

"During the incubation period, his body was no different from that of an ordinary person, so I asked the Crown Prince if he had left the palace in the past two weeks."

How smart were Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

Although I didn't understand what the incubation period was, I could probably understand it after listening to Wei Wu's explanation.

What is the most critical issue?

It's 'this disease does not occur on its own, it can only be transmitted from others'!

There has been no case of smallpox in the palace, and Zhu Xiongying has not gone out in the past half month.

But Zhu Xiongying was the only one who fell ill, and it was the smallpox disease that could only be transmitted by others.

This cannot be explained away as a coincidence; there is definitely someone behind the scenes manipulating this.

Looking at the tightly closed palace gate, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and asked again:

"Xiao Wu, is it true that there is really no way to solve this problem in the future? Didn't you say that someone has studied it?"

"Any method, even if there's only a glimmer of hope, even if there are risks, tell us what you want."

Wei Wu heard the sorrow in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone and couldn't help but sigh.

"Plantain, Hedyotis diffusa, Goosegrass, Dandelion, and Isatis root may be of some use."

"However, these herbs only treat the symptoms caused by smallpox and have no effect on smallpox itself."

A little hope is a little hope.

After hearing what Wei Wu said, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately called the imperial physician and asked him to write down these herbs.

After that, the imperial physician left, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to find Mao Xiang.

"A thorough investigation of all those who have been infected with smallpox in the capital within the past month. We need to know who they have met and where they have been."

"Also, all those who have had contact with the Crown Prince and cared for his daily life will be arrested and thoroughly investigated for any records of them leaving the palace."

After hearing this, Mao Xiang immediately understood that the Crown Prince was infected with smallpox.

This is a big deal!

Without any hesitation, Mao Xiang responded immediately.

"Yes, I will investigate immediately."

After saying that, Mao Xiang immediately stood up and ran out of the palace.

At this moment, the door of Kunning Palace suddenly opened, and a maid came out of the house carrying a copper basin.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao immediately stepped forward to ask, but Wei Wu grabbed him.

"Brother Zhu, you can't get close. This disease can be transmitted through the air."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao stopped moving forward, but still looked at the palace maid and asked.

"Tell me, how are Mother and Xiong Ying?"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the Empress is fine, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a persistent fever. I need to fetch some water to clean His Royal Highness's body."

When Zhu Biao heard the palace maid's answer, he was heartbroken.

Looking at Zhu Biao with a worried look on his face, Wei Wu sighed lightly.

"Brother Zhu, let me go in and take a look! I have something that can help reduce the fever."

Zhu Xiongying is only eight years old, and the persistent high fever might cause brain damage.

It just so happened that Wei Wu had a few boxes of fever-reducing patches, which could at least help Zhu Xiongying cool down physically.

But as soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao became anxious and spoke up at the same time to stop him.

"No!!"

To be honest, Wei Wu didn't expect them to be so excited and was actually shocked.

Just when he was confused, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke:

"Xiao Wu, you can have the maid deliver the things, but you must not take the risk yourself."

Only then did Wei Wu realize that they were worried that he would also be infected with smallpox, so he immediately laughed and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu. People of our generation have been vaccinated against smallpox since childhood and will not be infected."
