Chapter 205: If you can't make it, you will die

"Wuwuwu, I don't want my fifth sister to die." Lu Li burst into tears.

Her crying scared everyone.

"Xiaojiu, what's wrong? What happened to the fifth princess?" Lu Jing suddenly became anxious.

"Wuwuwu, something happened to the fifth princess. Someone in the academy has been infected with smallpox, and the fifth princess played with her. Now she has a fever and has been locked out of the palace." Lu Li was so anxious that she forgot to make an excuse and just told the story directly.

When they heard that Lu Qiongying might have contracted smallpox, everyone's face changed color.

Smallpox is an incurable disease.

"Mr. Qu, do you know about smallpox? Is there any way to cure it?" Lu Yanshi looked at Qu Fufeng first.

Lu Jing was a little confused. His father must be very worried. Why did he ask Lord Qu about this matter when Lord Qu didn't know any medicine.

Qu Fufeng shook his head solemnly.

"With Daxia's current medical methods, if you get smallpox, you can only endure it. If you can't endure it..."

He didn't finish his words, but Lu Yanshi understood.

If you can't make it, you will die.

"I don't want my fifth sister to die, I want her to live." Lu Li cried even louder after hearing this.

She cried so hard that her nose and tears were streaming down her face, and she even choked herself and started coughing.

Lu Yanshi patted her back lovingly, coaxed her to stop crying, and gave her some water to calm her down.

"Don't cry, Xiaojiu. Your fifth sister will be fine."

Lu Li is just young, not a fool.

Since Qu Fufeng said so, the fifth princess must be in danger.

[I will go find the old King Yan and tell him not to take the fifth sister away.]

After Lu Li finished muttering, she closed her eyes and tried her best to contact King Yan.

This time it was Bai Wuchang who came.

Qu Fufeng touched his arm and suddenly felt a little chilly.

He rubbed his arms and wanted to ask Lu Yanshi and Lu Jing if they felt the temperature suddenly dropped, but he saw them looking at the Ninth Princess with serious expressions.

He closed his mouth silently.

【Little Kinki, who made you cry? 】

Bai Wuchang hid his figure and only Lu Li could see him.

Lu Li pursed her lips, tears welled up in her eyes, and complained:

[I don't want my fifth sister to die, you are not allowed to take her away.]

Bai Wuchang counted with his fingers and understood why she was crying so hard.

He touched Lu Li's little head with heartache.

[What I said doesn't count. Little Jinlui, everyone has their own destiny. This is the disaster that she was destined to have. We can't interfere.]

[But I don’t want her to die.]

Lu Li choked up and sounded extremely sad.

【When you come to this world, you have to experience birth, aging, sickness, death and separation. 】

Although Bai Wuchang felt sorry for her, he could not go against God's will and forcibly change Lu Qiongying's fate.

It all depends on herself.

After all, she will experience this kind of thing many times in the future.

When Lu Li heard this, she didn't make a fuss, but just shed tears silently. Her little shoulders were shaking, and she looked extremely pitiful.

Bai Wuchang sighed and left.

Lu Yanshi felt bad seeing his daughter's sad look.

He guessed from the few words she just said that Lu Li must have looked for connections in the underworld, but still failed.

Qiongying was a lively child. It would be more painful for her to get smallpox than to kill her.

I don’t know if Concubine Shu can withstand this blow.

At this time, Lu Yanshi was extremely fortunate that Concubine Shu gave birth to twins. Even if Xiaowu died, she could still hold on for Xiaoliu.

The fear is that other children in the palace will also be infected.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanshi's expression became solemn.

"Qu Fufeng, is there any way to prevent other people from contracting smallpox?" He heard Qu Fufeng say that they had also experienced many large-scale infectious diseases in later generations, but they had found ways to control them.

Maybe he can find a good way to prevent more children from getting into trouble.

"You're not going to say it, it's true!" Qu Fufeng remembered.

Although smallpox could not be cured in ancient times, it could be prevented.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Lu Yanshi became excited.

"Vaccinating uninfected people with cowpox vaccine can prevent the occurrence of smallpox." Qu Fufeng told everyone he knew.

Smallpox was declared eradicated by the World Health Organization in 1980, so modern people don't know much about this disease.

But he had some impression of smallpox because his grandfather had once contracted smallpox, and his grandmother had always taken close care of him and nothing happened to him because his grandmother was a milker in a dairy factory and had contracted cowpox.

"Cowpox is similar to smallpox, but the symptoms are milder. People who are infected with cowpox become immune to smallpox. This means they will not get smallpox again."

After Qu Fufeng's explanation, they finally understood what the cowpox vaccine was.

"If we give the fifth princess the smallpox vaccine now, will she survive?" Lu Jing asked anxiously. Lu Li also stopped crying and looked at Qu Fufeng expectantly.

Qu Fufeng shook his head again.

"It is possible to get vaccinated against smallpox before you are infected, but it is useless after you are infected. Also, it takes some time to develop a vaccine for smallpox. It is not something that can be developed overnight."

Lu Yanshi and the other two, who were originally full of hope, immediately became dejected again.

"However, if we can find someone who has been infected with cowpox to take good care of the Fifth Princess to avoid cross infection, and coupled with the fact that Concubine Shu is born with supernatural powers, if the Fifth Princess inherits her physique, she may be able to hold on." Qu Fufeng made a cautious suggestion.

After being infected with smallpox, symptoms of high fever, chills, general weakness, and muscle aches usually appear suddenly.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for people to take care of themselves.

If a maid who has not been infected is asked to take care of the child, it would be like Calabash Brothers saving their master, and they would all be killed one by one.

After the maid was infected, she couldn't even take care of the Fifth Princess, let alone save herself.

So it would be best to find someone immune to take care of the fifth princess.

"But where can we find people who have been infected with cowpox?" Lu Jing murmured to himself.

"The Chiyi tribe!"

"The Chiyi tribe!"

Lu Yanshi and Lu Li spoke at the same time.

The Chiyi tribe is good at raising cattle, and it can be said that their children all grew up on the backs of cattle. They have long been in contact with cattle, and some of them may have been infected with the cowpox that Qu Fufeng mentioned.

"Don't wait, beat them!" Lu Li urged anxiously.

The sooner we find someone who has been infected, the greater the chance that the fifth princess will survive.

"Go, organize the troops and attack the Chiyi tribe at night." Lu Yanshi gave the order without hesitation.

The people of the Chiyi tribe were all very tall, and he had been worried that they would not be able to defeat them due to their small numbers, so he cautiously planned to wait for Xin Poshan to bring the other soldiers before launching an attack.

But now that his daughter's life was at stake, he decided not to wait any longer.

Anyway, with the "Ninth Princess" here, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Father, please think twice. You can't just beat them like this." Lu Jing quickly spoke up to dissuade him.

"Don't you want to save the fifth princess?" Lu Li widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
