Furthermore, it seems that the idea of smallpox was initially proposed by this Princess Fucha!
Yinzhen had made up his mind! He then sent people to keep a close eye on Fucha Yunrong!
As an emperor, Yinzhen was most intolerant of anything that was beyond his control! Those things or people that defied common sense had to be kept under his own control to ensure his peace of mind!
Fucha Yunrong was unaware that she was being targeted because of the smallpox outbreak. Her "golden finger" was an emotionless laboratory, not an intelligent machine that could sense the gazes around her!
Fucha Yunrong was a researcher, not a female agent, so naturally she didn't have the ability to detect that the royal guards were monitoring her!

Emperor Yinzhen was a decisive and efficient emperor. He ordered the Imperial Medical Academy to speed up the production of smallpox vaccines and started inoculating everyone from the royal family to court officials and nobles!
With these people taking the lead, the people finally believed that cowpox could prevent smallpox!
