Alan trembled and immediately knelt down, not daring to raise her head. "Your Majesty, this servant dares not."
"It's best if you don't dare. Get up and come with me." Lin Wanqing had no time to argue with Alan about these things. She wanted Alan to verify her thoughts.
Arriving at the cattle farm again, there were the same individual tents, the same cows with smallpox, and Alan was blindfolded again, except this time a candle was lit and there was a jar of strong liquor.
Alan knew he couldn't escape it, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Lin Wanqing didn't care what Alan thought. She took out a knife, burned it over a lit candle, and then soaked a clean handkerchief in strong liquor and wiped it on Alan's left arm.
He then took a small cup, poured some strong liquor onto the cowpox, and wiped it clean with a handkerchief to disinfect it.
Then she took a knife and carefully pried open the smallpox lesion, carefully avoiding the dirt around the lesion, and put the pus into Alan's wound on his arm before bandaging it with a strip of cloth.
After finishing everything, Alan tore the noodles off her face, glanced at her left arm, which was the same as Mo Zhi's, and followed Lin Wanqing back to the palace with a deathly pale face.
Lin Wanqing also summoned another palace maid and asked her to take good care of Alan, instructing her that the wound must not get wet.
The palace maid agreed and left with Alan.
No sooner had Alan left than Wanyan Da arrived, his voice preceding his arrival.
"Your Majesty, how is your research on this plague going? I remember you said you would have results today."
Lin Wanqing's expression changed slightly, but in an instant, she smiled again.
"Your Majesty, my method failed when I tested it on Mo Zhi before, but I have found the problem and improved the method. I will definitely see results in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Da's smile faded somewhat. "Didn't the Queen say there would be results today?"
"Your Majesty, this plague is no ordinary plague. Nine out of ten people who contract it will die. I am already risking my life to find a cure. Why is Your Majesty blaming me? Have the imperial physicians and shamans found a solution?"
At this point, Lin Wanqing lowered her head and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her eyes.
Wanyan Da was taken aback, his eyes flickered, and then he reached out and put his arm around Lin Wanqing's waist.
"Your Majesty, please don't blame me. I am also worried about the safety of the people of Beili. I have been so anxious these past few days that I haven't been able to sleep well."
Wanyan Da's words were not entirely untrue. The epidemic was spreading rapidly, and now, apart from the Frost Moon tribe, many people from other tribes had died.
Ministers have already ordered him to massacre these tribes and burn their people to prevent the spread of disease.
Faced with such pressure, Wanyan Da indeed couldn't sleep well.
As the Khan of Beili, he couldn't bear to treat the people of Beili like this, so he had to suppress the matter for the time being. He always felt that Lin Wanqing would have a way to solve the problem.
After hearing everything the Frost Moon Clan Chief said, Lin Wanqing showed panic on her face and immediately ordered the Frost Moon Clan Chief to be imprisoned and to send people to block the Frost Moon Clan's way out.
This is not a normal person's reaction.
When a normal person hears about a new epidemic, they will definitely be confused at first, and then make a response after gradually understanding the situation. They would never be as decisive as Lin Wanqing, and she didn't even ask the Frost Moon Tribe Chief for details.
At that time, Wanyan Da was certain that Lin Wanqing knew about the epidemic, but she was unwilling to say so.
Wanyan Da did not expose Lin Wanqing's thoughts. He knew what she was planning, but he didn't care.
As long as this crisis in Bei Li can be resolved, why should Lin Wanqing care about playing some tricks?
Hearing Wanyan Da say this, Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and nestled gently in his arms. "Your Majesty, please give me a few more days. I am sure I will succeed."
"Very well, I await the Queen's good news."
