Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Since Hongxi left Jiangnan, Wanyu, Yinreng, and Shi Wenzhuo and his wife have stayed in Jiangnan.

In the middle of the second year of the Qianlong reign, news of a major event came from the capital.

The emperor's maternal family, the Guwalja clan, discovered that cowpox could prevent smallpox.

The emperor sent the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to conduct experiments on death row prisoners in the prison and male and female beggars of different ages from around the capital. They found out that cowpox can indeed prevent smallpox.

Moreover, the mortality rate was extremely low. Even the few people who died in the experiment were all in very poor health and extremely elderly.

Even children as young as two or three years old recovered successfully after being vaccinated against smallpox.

Moreover, after being vaccinated against smallpox, you will not get smallpox again if you touch a smallpox scab again.

After this news was verified, the entire capital was in an uproar.

It even spread quickly from the capital to the entire Qing Dynasty.

You don’t have to be afraid of smallpox anymore!

Everyone said that the emperor was blessed by God, and that his mother's family discovered such a good thing that benefits the country and the people. The emperor is the true dragon emperor!

Qianlong's position was quickly consolidated.

The Guwalja clan once again obtained a dukedom, which was still hereditary.

Wanyu smiled with relief after hearing the news.

Cowpox was the protection she left for her family and also the support she left for her son.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, it is a critical period for him to compete with the old ministers of the previous dynasty and seize power.

With great political achievements, the emperor will find it easier to suppress old ministers to prevent them from relying on the favor left by the previous emperor to bully the new emperor.

This is one of the gifts Wanyu asked Hongxi to bring to Hongli.

There were some small items and a letter in the small box.

She prepared two gifts for Hongli.

It was also to help Hongli and to test Hongli.

And that letter was to help him. In the letter, Wanyu asked Hongli to find his elder brother Fu Dali.

She had assigned the cowpox issue to Marfa.

After Mafa left, he handed over all arrangements to his uncle Shi Wenbing.

After my uncle passed away, the property was naturally handed over to my eldest brother Fu Dali.

Since the discovery of cowpox in the Guwalja clan, the younger generations in the clan have been secretly vaccinated with cowpox.

However, the only people who knew about it were Shi Huashan, Shi Wenbing, Fu Dali and Wanyu.

Even his own children and grandchildren were arranged by his uncle and elder brother.

Therefore, the Guwalja clan had already mastered the technique of vaccinating against cowpox.

After being summoned by the emperor, Fu Dali heard the emperor mention this matter and thought of his father's instructions before his death. Therefore, he did not hide it and told it directly.

Everything is going smooth.

After Qianlong ascended the throne, he had been playing games with the ministers in the previous dynasty, so he had never been able to go to Jiangnan.

Five years later, Shi Wenzhuo and his wife passed away one after another.

The brothers Shi Liha and Shi Mujin went to Jiangnan to personally bring the old couple's coffins back to the capital.

After seeing her parents off, Wanyu was very depressed for a while, and Yinreng stayed with her all the time.

Seeing Yu'er lying in the rocking chair with her eyes closed and looking depressed, Yinreng felt a pang in his heart.

He always felt that Yu'er was implicated by him.

When she was young, she was trapped in the palace because of him.

Now that I am old, I still have no home to return to and can only live far away with him.

Looking at the white hair on her temples, I sighed softly in my heart.

Yu'er is already in her sixties, and I am almost seventy.

One day, they will go down to see their father and mother.

There were some things he had been holding in his heart, and he felt it would be too late if he didn't say them.

So he suddenly said to Wanyu: "Yu'er, I have a secret that I have never told you."

Wanlin turned her head slightly and looked at Baocheng, who had an old face, with a faint smile on her lips.

He jokingly said, "What's the big secret that you're hiding so deeply?"

Yinreng moved his chair a little closer to Wanyu and rested his head on the crook of her neck.

He whispered, "I had smallpox when I was a child. Ever since I recovered from that bout of smallpox, I've been able to hear what other people are thinking."

Wanyu immediately turned to look at him and blurted out, "You even know what I'm thinking?"

Yinreng laughed dumbly and said, "You are an exception."

"You know what? You are special to me."

"I can't hear the words of Huang Wuku's mother, Huang Mama, or Huang Ama."

"Except for them, I can hear what everyone I meet is thinking."

"Until one day, I met you!"

Wanyu asked suspiciously, "You really can't hear what I'm thinking?"

Yinreng nodded with amusement.

"Of course not."

"You know when I can hear what other people are thinking?"

Wanyu frowned and thought about it.

"Didn't you say that when you recovered from smallpox?"

Yinreng nodded seriously.

Then he smiled meaningfully and said, "The ninth day of the twelfth month."

Wanyu sat up straight suddenly.

"The ninth day of the twelfth month?!"

"Isn't that my birthday?"

Yinreng smiled and nodded again.

Wanyu suddenly came to her senses.

She stood up, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Yinreng fiercely.

"You are so good, Aixinjueluo Baocheng!"

"That's what I said!"

"That's what I said!"

"I was just saying, why is my golden finger gone?!"

"So it was taken away by a shameless person like you!"

"How come others can get matching cheat codes when they travel through time, but when I come here, not only are they not given cheat codes, but even my own cheat codes are gone!"

"So I went to your place!"

Yinreng was full of questions at this time.

"you know?"

Although Yinreng heard Master Wuchen say that he had taken away other people's opportunities.

Later I found out that this person was Yu'er.

But the first time I had the ability to read minds was when Yu'er was born.

She was a little baby at the time, how could she know that the mind-reading ability originally belonged to her?

So Yinreng was very puzzled at this time.

Wanyu glared at him fiercely.

"That's mine, how come I didn't know?!"

Yinreng frowned, "How do you know it's yours?"

Wanyu pinched Yinreng's ears hard with both hands and whispered with gritted teeth.

"How do I know about this thing that I already had in my previous life?!"

Yinreng: ???

He asked quietly, "Previous life?"

"Were you born without drinking Meng Po soup?"

"Otherwise, how do you remember things from your past life?"

Wanyu suddenly froze, then quickly withdrew her hand.

"Forehead...."

"that...."

"You could say that."

Yinreng asked suspiciously, "Can you say that?"

Wanyu said uncomfortably, "I've never seen any Mengpo soup."

"When I regained consciousness, I was in my mother's belly, preparing to be born."

Yinreng thought of the current empress dowager, Wanyu's cousin Guaerjia Wanlin.

He suddenly asked, "Were you also Guarjia Wanyu in your previous life? Who did you marry? Are you living well? When did you die?"

Seeing that he seemed to care a lot, Wanyu suddenly sighed.

Since he told her about his mind reading ability, they are both almost old now, and they have lived together for so many years. Their feelings for each other have long been deep in their bones, so there is no need to hide it from him anymore.

So he told Yinreng everything about his past life.
