"Dismiss the court!" The emperor waved his hand. If he allowed her to continue making up stories, would he still have any shame?
You don't even need this face anymore.
Just as Ji Yingying was about to leave, the emperor called out again, "Ji Yingying, have lunch with me, and then go directly to the Ministry of Works."
"Ah? Your Majesty, what are we eating today?" When Ji Yingying heard that there was food to eat, she hurried over and followed him obediently to the inner hall to prepare for dinner.
“There are vegetables.”
This winter, people in Beijing can eat green vegetables. It won’t be long before other places can eat green vegetables in winter as well.
What's the point of having vegetables? I want to eat meat. I'd feel bad if I didn't eat meat in the middle of the day.
"Oh...and meat!"
"Okay, okay, as long as there's meat." Ji Yingying sat down at the table and waited for the meal to be served.
Soon the dishes were served, and Ji Yingying took the chopsticks. Seeing that the emperor hadn't taken any yet, she immediately took the chopsticks for him and urged him, "Your Majesty, eat quickly."
"Well, eat it."
[Host, there's some juicy gossip. You haven't been here in a while. The palace maid here has changed; there's a new one with some big gossip.]
Ji Yingying pulled a chicken leg and looked around. Those palace maids were all young girls. Do we have the big melon?
[Tell me quickly, do you want to climb into the emperor's bed or assassinate him?] Ji Yingying looked very calm. The guards at the door were already itching to act. As long as it was an assassin, they would rush in and capture him immediately.
The emperor also looked around, but didn't know which melon it was.
[The palace maid in green clothes.]
[What green-clad palace maids? Open your eyes and look around! All the palace maids in this room are dressed in green.]
Xiangxiang, who had been scolded, gave an awkward laugh and said, "The hairpin is the green one!"
[It's just a hairpin, why are you talking about clothes? Just buy time.]
Hehe, she got sick, it's a contagious disease, smallpox, which spreads very quickly.
【So what? So what?】 Ji Yingying secretly vaccinated herself with the cowpox vaccine when she was four years old, and she still has a scar on her arm.
[What else? What else? You might not get infected, but everyone in this room, even the Emperor, could get infected. And he's had smallpox for several days now. I guess the palace... isn't safe anymore.]
【Oh…】 Ji Yingying was still eating, but the palace maids were already trembling with fear, and even the emperor was shocked.
[Yes, if it's not controlled, it won't be long before the entire capital is infected. This is extremely strong.]
[It's so cold in winter, but it can't kill this kind of bacteria. ]
[This... I don't know either. Do you want to go and see her? Her whole body is ulcerated.]
[Really? Wait a minute. I'm almost full. I'll go check it out later.]
Emperor: ...Can't you just be a little more anxious? Don't be so calm about everything!
The emperor could not wait any longer and immediately asked Eunuch Cao to check on the palace maid, and sure enough, red spots appeared.
"This... Your Majesty..." The maid was frightened and knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, I didn't know. I thought it was a rash."
"Why don't you get the medicine?"
"I have no money."
What?
She was right. Her family was very poor. Her father had a leg injury and couldn't walk, and her mother was sick. She was the eldest daughter in the family, with two younger brothers and five younger sisters.
[Haha, the poorer you are, the more children you have. In a world where you don't have enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and education is poor, how dare you have so many children?]
One a year, so the mother is exhausted.
[I... forget it, I won't say any more. This is really killing me.]
"Ji Yingying, is there a way to treat it?" The emperor did not forget Xiangxiang's words that Ji Yingying would not be infected with smallpox.
Then she must have a way.
"Yes, this is the solution and prescription for smallpox. I'll go find Judge Liu later and get the cowpox out by tonight at the latest."
"Go quickly."
"Your Majesty, I'm tired. I didn't get much sleep yesterday." Ji Yingying really didn't get much sleep and was very sleepy.
[This is terrible! I couldn't go to the Ministry of Works, so I went to the Imperial Hospital instead.]
"Ji Yingying, this is a disaster, don't be confused."
"Okay, I got it. I'll go to the Imperial Hospital right away." As soon as Ji Yingying left, the emperor summoned the ministers and arranged for someone to check all the palace inhabitants.
Originally they were going to deal with those who were seriously ill, but news came from the Imperial Hospital that Ji Yingying asked the prince to concentrate the seriously ill in one place and the less seriously ill in another, and those who were not infected were not allowed to move around.
Judge Liu had already received the news and was just waiting for her to arrive so that he could deal with it immediately.
After seeing the man, Judge Liu hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what should I do?"
Ji Yingying said a lot of things and immediately arranged people to do things. First, she prepared disinfectant and asked people to spray the entire palace, as well as the outside of the palace. She herself was not idle either.
Before nightfall, the antidote was indeed available.
"Now I'll teach you how to insert needles, this needle..." Fortunately, everyone learns quickly and mastered it soon.
"Gather everyone, I'll assign you tasks."
There are a total of thirty people in the Imperial Medical Bureau, including old people, young people, and apprentices.
"President Liu, take this group of people to the outside of the palace to give acupuncture. You must give one shot to every person on every street. No one can be left out."
Judge Liu responded and then asked, "What happens if there are omissions?"
"Then just wait to die." Ji Yingying didn't care. She just waited to die.
[Host, collect the money.]
Yes, I'd completely forgotten about it.
"Those of you who are outside the palace getting injections will be charged one copper coin each. We will deal with the people in the capital first. As for those outside the capital, Imperial Physician Liang, Imperial Physician Lu, and Imperial Physician Li, take these people to bed. Tomorrow, we will go to these counties. If we can't finish them all, we will go the day after tomorrow."
"yes"
"Remember, it must be one copper coin, whether you are a commoner or a rich person, it's all one copper coin."
"yes"
Judge Liu quickly asked, "What about the palace?"
"I'm here. I'll make the arrangements."
"yes"
After making the arrangements, I went to check the number of needles. There were so many needles that needed to be replaced.
"President Liu, wait a minute. Go to the Ministry of Revenue and apply for 50,000 taels of silver. I need to buy needles, otherwise it won't be enough."
Judge Liu hurried to the Ministry of Revenue and approved 50,000 taels overnight. Ji Yingying exchanged a lot of needles from the pharmacy, but no one arranged the dosage.
Once everything is accounted for, we'll set off immediately.
In the palace, Ji Yingying first gave injections to those with serious illnesses, and then went to give injections to those with less serious illnesses.
At the same time, have someone broadcast what will happen after this injection.
Finally, it was the turn of the emperor, empress, concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, etc.
Anyway, I was busy until dawn, and finally I finished.
"Your Majesty, I'm sleepy. I want to go to sleep." After the fight was over, Ji Yingying really couldn't stand it anymore. She was too sleepy. She had been dealing with emergencies all night.
I'm so hungry I don't even have time to eat.
The Queen quickly said, "Come to my palace and sleep for a while. I have an early court today..."
"Postpone it to the afternoon. Go and get some rest. If anything comes up, just tell the Empress."
