The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

Ying Ji escorted Ruoshui back and drove directly to the Imperial Academy, where the physicians were holding a consultation with patients that day.

They directly mentioned the smallpox epidemic.

Bian Le frowned, and absentmindedly plucked a few hairs from his beard as he stroked it. He looked at his beautiful beard with heartache and sighed.

"Your Highness, since I arrived in Xianyang, I have encountered far more poisons and diseases than I have ever seen in my entire life."

This old man can't bear it.

Ying Ji picked up a prescription from an elderly man in plain clothes with white hair and examined it; it contained a remedy for fever symptoms.

“If you, Elder Bian, are not in good health, it would be a real waste of your medical skills. You should take on a few disciples as soon as possible so that the lineage will not be broken.”

Bian Le glared and puffed out his cheeks: "Hmph, you little girl, you have no respect for your elders at all."

Ying Ji took a medical prescription and handed it to Bian Le: "Don't worry, the Five Animal Frolics you practice every day are much better than the bodies of us young people."

Who knows, you might even see your grandson holding your great-grandson, four generations under one roof.

Bian Le stroked his beard, feeling very pleased: "Ahem, what you said is right, young lady. It still needs to be properly treated. My grandson has already found his sweetheart. If this old man can hold his great-grandson, he can die with a smile on his face."

"Wow, this prescription is brilliant! Compared to the original formula, it uses 20% less of the detoxifying ingredients, yet the heat-clearing and detoxifying effects remain unchanged. It's truly ingenious, but unfortunately, it's ineffective against smallpox."

A middle-aged doctor silently took back the prescription. Although it was ineffective against smallpox, the fact that the possible leader of the medical community praised it made people envious.

Several people around the man were already willing to exchange their family heirlooms for the recipe.

Everyone tried to find a solution, but they still couldn't reach one.

Bian Le had something on his mind, so he appeared completely at ease.

Intending to test his disciples, he asked these inexperienced students to answer.

Even the master and many barefoot doctors couldn't answer, let alone these novice disciples.

Yuan Ge's eyes lit up when he heard about the smallpox epidemic, because Ying Ji had mentioned it before she lost her memory.

So he stood up and replied, "Master, I have an idea."

Bian Le stroked his beard, his eyes full of praise and satisfaction. Although Yuan Ge was a woman, her perseverance in learning and her innate talent made her learning medicine twice as effective with half the effort. Not to mention her courage to express her own thoughts, which he admired even more.

[He truly is my good disciple. Should I take him on as my last disciple?]

Yuan Ge's appearance drew everyone's attention, where a beautiful and refined young woman stood gracefully.

"Smallpox infection has a rapid onset and a very high risk of death. My daughter's relatives had smallpox but were lucky enough to survive."

So he devoted himself to studying the causes of the epidemic and discovered that smallpox scabs left over from the past could be passed on to prisoners and cause infection.

Then, the smallpox sores were punctured and given to another normal man, who then took medicine to clear heat and detoxify, thus alleviating his condition.

Of the young and strong, eight or nine out of ten can survive.

But there were still casualties, so the girl conducted another experiment.

Experiments were conducted on pigs, cattle, ducks, and sheep to demonstrate that the cowpox treatment was extremely reliable, and several people were treated without any injuries or fatalities.

The smallpox vaccination program was recently used on 13-year-old prisoners without any problems.

These words shocked everyone present. The doctors whispered among themselves, never expecting that such a young woman could solve the epidemic.

The most shocked person was Bian Le, who was stunned. The smallpox treatment was the foundation of his current composure.

But his own disciple, who had been the last disciple of his, directly created a smallpox vaccination method that would not cause any injuries or deaths.

This child is teachable! This child is teachable!

Bian Le laughed heartily: "My closed-door disciple is better than his master. I never expected that he would actually come up with a way to solve the epidemic in private."

"I was just thinking of using variolation, and you've already made further adjustments to the treatment method. Very good, very good."

When Yuan Ge saw Bian Le publicly acknowledge her as his closed-door disciple, he immediately brought over tea from the side and obediently knelt on the ground to offer it to her.

Ying Ji's eyes were full of admiration. Sure enough, Yuan Ge was a woman of great use.

Bian Le didn't think there was anything wrong with women studying medicine, but treating people always involved contact with patients' bodies. As a woman, Yuan Ge still had to be careful about the separation between men and women, so he was always conflicted about whether to accept her or not.

Now that the smallpox vaccination method has appeared, he made up his mind. Looking at his obedient female disciple, he helped her up with great satisfaction and even gave her Bian Que's medical skills as a gift to his disciple.

With her major worry resolved, Ying Ji felt much better: "In that case, we still need to promote the smallpox vaccination program as soon as possible. Smallpox spreads too quickly, and there are so many people in Xianyang. We need to act quickly; time waits for no one."

Bian Le said solemnly, "It is the duty of doctors to heal the sick and save lives. We will do our best in this matter."

Yingji nodded, and they began to prepare how to implement the smallpox vaccination program.

As a result, the person felt dizzy as soon as they left the house, and when they tried to support themselves in the carriage, they felt completely weak.

Ying Ji thought she had been ambushed again, so she pulled out her hairpin and inserted it into her thigh to keep her mind clear.

"Yuan Tiangang, investigate."

A dark figure sped out, alert to the surroundings, but there was no movement around them, and the outposts found no suspicious persons.

But Ying Ji felt she was about to faint, so whenever she was about to faint, she would twist the hairpin stuck in her leg and use the intense pain to wake herself up.

But the dizziness was irresistible; after barely managing to hold on for half an hour, she finally fainted.
