The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

The Lord of Danyang lay on the chaise longue, the red rash on his face unmistakably real, and countless commoners and scholars who saw it wished they could flee Xianyang City as soon as possible.

But how could Ying Zheng give him this opportunity? Upon receiving the news, he immediately sealed the city gates, citing the imminent arrival of a large army as the reason for preventing spies from the six states from coming.

The people in the city did believe it, and the news of smallpox had not yet spread widely.

But now, seeing the Lord of Danyang with a face full of red rashes, a commoner who had survived smallpox, he was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale.

Zhang Liang held Ying Ji in his arms, doing everything he could to protect the woman in his embrace.

Ying Ji closed her eyes; she needed to conserve her energy for a demonstration of smallpox vaccination later.

After circling the city, before the common people could even feel fear, the guards beside them began to beat gongs and shout as they walked.

"On the main road in Danyang, we encountered a woman holding her young child who had contracted smallpox. Yuan Ge, a disciple of Bian Le, a renowned physician from the Imperial Academy, had already developed a method to treat smallpox."

To save the entire city, Lord Danyang willingly risked his life, personally administering vaccinations in the central square. He instructed those with smallpox in their households to be sent to the epidemic prevention center for treatment as quickly as possible, and to vaccinate the sick with cowpox. From then on, smallpox no longer caused death.

Although most people were still skeptical, the people of Danyang Prefecture, upon hearing that the Lord of Danyang was there, immediately brought their families to support him.

The military families were also grateful for Lord Danyang's grace, and even if they didn't have to test the medicine on themselves, they would still go to get vaccinated.

Those who wanted to join in the fun, those with ulterior motives, and those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos gradually gathered at the central square.

Ying Ji lay in the center, and Zhang Liang, who was also very familiar to everyone, was beside her.

Yuan Ge stood on the high platform with his master, feeling trembling all over and cold sweat on his palms. He pulled on Bian Lao and said, "Master, the princess has contracted smallpox. Is it curable? My cowpox method can only prevent it, but the princess is already showing symptoms."

Bian Le stroked his beard: "You're just worried. The princess will spread smallpox everywhere this time, and everyone is afraid. The promotion of the smallpox vaccination method is urgent. After today, I will use the secret medicine of the physician to treat the princess. Don't worry."

Yuan Ge couldn't resist asking, "Master, this secret medicine has probably been passed down for decades. Is it still effective? Is there any leftover? How about I test it on the princess first?"

Bian Le was so angry he almost blew his beard. He looked at the assembled commoners and gave his unreliable closed-door disciple a slap in annoyance.

Yuan Ge could only pout and sulk to herself, angry that she couldn't stay by the princess's side, and also angry that her medical skills were still inadequate, and now she could only rely on her unreliable master.

The temporary platform built in the middle is the best place for everyone to see.

Zhang Liang reluctantly woke Ying Ji: "Princess, it's time."

Ying Ji was in great pain. Her throat felt like it was burning with coals, and her skin was itchy all over. Not to mention the few pimples that had broken open from the journey, which were even more unbearable.

But Ying Ji only took a moment to familiarize herself with the situation, drank some water, and then put on an extremely kind expression.

Supported by Zhang Liang, he stood up and stood firmly in the center.

His exposed arms, neck, and face were covered in horrifying pimples.

Ying Ji knew her face was frightening, so she wore a face mask.

Zhang Liang brought over a stool and helped Ying Ji sit down. Bian Le took her pulse and treated her on the spot, while boiling herbal medicine in full view of everyone.

The medicine was ready, and Ying Ji downed it in one gulp.

Zhang Liang sat beside him, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair and delicate arms.

Bian Le immediately punctured the smallpox on the cow, took out the smallpox, drew an X on his arm, pressed the pod onto the affected area, and then fed him a medicine.

After an hour, everyone saw that Zhang Liang first had a fever, then a cough, but no rash appeared, and no other symptoms appeared.

But this still couldn't dispel people's doubts about smallpox.

Bai Changchuan stepped forward, exposing his arm: "Doctor Bian, give me the vaccination."

After the vaccination was completed, he sat down next to Ying Ji and placed his warm hands on the back of the woman's hands: "You didn't tell me about such a big thing. It seems you've forgotten who I am."

Ying Ji was a little dizzy from the fever, but she still scratched the man's palm to comfort him.

This prompted the man to curl the corners of his lips into a smile.

After Bai Changchuan received the inoculation, another stunningly handsome man, with a white cloth over his eyes and carrying a heavy zither on his back, sat opposite Bian Le and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Bian."

Bian Le stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded.

After Ruoshui finished her vaccination, she neither left nor approached, but quietly found a secluded corner and stared intently at the woman on the chaise longue.

Next came Li Si, Han Fei, Gan Luo, Meng Ao, Xiao He, Liu Bang, Han Xin...

Seeing that one important person after another was getting vaccinated, some people finally couldn't sit still anymore. Besides, there were even teenagers getting vaccinated, and no one doubted the authenticity of the vaccine anymore.

After the first commoner followed the high-ranking official to get vaccinated, it was like opening Pandora's box. Countless people poured in, and soon guards began to maintain order.

Finally, someone exclaimed, "Why aren't we being vaccinated? Smallpox is effective! I want to be vaccinated! I want to be vaccinated!"

The moment the first person shouted, it was like adding a drop of water to a pot of oil, causing it to boil over instantly, and the eyes of the common people turned red.

With smallpox now widespread, those who get vaccinated first will definitely be safe, but those who get vaccinated later might have to endure several days.

Then they discovered that countless doctors they had seen at the clinic had come to help.

Centered on the high platform, tables and chairs were set up with their backs to it. Guards guided the people in a queue, and soon the people were no longer afraid. Seeing so many doctors dressed in plain clothes, they felt much more at ease.

After one round, nearly a hundred doctors were vaccinated at the same time.

Even during breaks, disciples will take over.

People from all over the country brought their families to get vaccinated against smallpox.

In particular, Lord Danyang on the high platform never left, and they kept a close eye on his illness.

The smallpox did indeed improve; after three days, it was clear that the red rash on Danyang's body had disappeared.

However, the atmosphere in the city is not so tense now. Instead, the three men who have been by Ying Ji's side are the talk of the town.

After all, gossip about important figures is always the most entertaining.

"Sigh, which concubine do you think Lord Danyang prefers?"

"Don't say that, I think he is a good young master, gentle and refined, and a clerk. His appearance is also top-notch. As for friendship, he has been taking care of me even before I was vaccinated against smallpox."

"Hey, you know what, I think that musician is pretty good. Look at him, he's always huddled in the corner playing the zither, his ten fingers are bleeding, but he doesn't stop. You can tell he's a man of feeling."

"Why doesn't General Bai mention that the Great Qin commander, a former soldier, heard that the Lord of Danyang had contracted smallpox and was so anxious that he wanted to force his way into the palace with dozens of men."

"You know what, I also heard that the princess rescued that musician casually at the Dance Moon Pavilion, and he has been infatuated with her ever since. Now that the princess is in trouble, he came here despite his illness."

"Am I the only one who thinks all three of them are quite good? Liangcejun is gentle and refined, Baicejun is heroic and imposing, and even the musician is aloof and stunning. Lord Danyang is truly blessed."

"Yes, yes, but I admire Yuan Ge the most. She is a woman like us and she has developed the smallpox vaccination method."

"Tch, just a little girl. I've heard they test drugs directly on people, that's terrifying."

The woman retorted angrily, "No way! The doctor at the clinic said that the drugs are only tested on prisoners. It's a great blessing that some wicked people who have committed heinous crimes can be used as test subjects."

"That's right, Miss Yuange and Lord Danyang are both our role models."

“A bunch of ignorant women, you are ashamed to be associated with them.”

A group of young girls were furious, but all they could do was stare at the man as if trying to bore a hole through him.

They comforted each other, saying they should learn from the two of them and also shine.
