"If the wound becomes infected and suppurates, you must apply medicine immediately to relieve the infection. You can't just leave it there and ignore it," Su Ruojin carefully instructed.
"We understand," the imperial physicians replied.
"Okay then, who wants to come out and practice?" Su Ruojin asked.
She was still a little worried and wanted to see at least one person succeed.
The imperial physicians examined each other, none daring to come out.
At this moment, Wu Tidian stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I am the Director of the Imperial Medical Academy. I will perform the procedure myself, and I would appreciate Your Highness's guidance."
Su Ruojin nodded. It couldn't be better if the Imperial Medical Academy could provide guidance and demonstrations.
Now there's a problem: who will be the guinea pig?
The imperial physicians looked at each other, none of them daring to do anything.
Wu Tidian gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask Your Highness, may I be vaccinated against smallpox?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ruojin looked at Wu Tidian with more respect. A doctor who is willing to experiment on himself must be a person with a great sense of righteousness.
"Of course."
Getting a smallpox vaccination on the left arm isn't difficult; it can certainly be done with the right hand. Otherwise, how did she manage to get herself vaccinated in the first place?
So Wu carefully took the smallpox pus and applied it to his wound, his face showing a look of resignation to his fate.
Yet none of the onlookers showed the slightest hint of mockery.
Only after everything was over did Su Ruojin feel relieved.
"Wu advises you to rest well and not to get the wound wet, as it will get hot tonight. Just remember what I said."
"yes."
Su Ruojin, Xiao Yanchu, and the Su family all returned to the Su residence.
This was something they had discussed on the way. Everyone might develop a fever later, and Su Ruojin was worried about it. It wasn't convenient for her to travel back and forth between the Prince's Mansion and the General's Mansion, so she decided to stay at the General's Mansion for the time being.
Xiao Yanchu also sent someone back to the Prince's Mansion to deliver the message.
Not long after they returned to the General's Mansion, Hu Qing arrived with Mu Jingshan.
Mu Jingshan had absolute admiration and trust for Su Ruojin, and without saying a word, he wanted to do something to her.
As a result, Hu Qing volunteered to be Mu Jingshan's guinea pig.
Su Ruojin first demonstrated it to Mu Jingshan, and Mu Jingshan strictly followed her steps to vaccinate Hu Qing with smallpox.
That evening, as expected, everyone who had been vaccinated against smallpox, including Xiao Yanchu, developed a fever.
However, Su Ruojin noticed that neither Xiao Yanchu nor his father and brothers, nor even Hu Qing and Mu Jingshan, had obvious fever symptoms, were in good spirits, and had good wound conditions.
She had to admit that these guys were in really good physical condition; she didn't need to take any of the medicine she had prepared to relieve their fever symptoms.
In this situation, all you need to do is get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water.
Seeing this, Madam Su finally felt relieved.
Because of Su Ruojin's warning and while waiting for the results of the smallpox vaccination, Xiao Chenyi temporarily did not send anyone to the epidemic area, and even Xu Jingnian and his group's itinerary was postponed.
Su Ruojin also wrote two prescriptions and sent them to the epidemic area by carrier pigeon. One prescription was to increase the resistance of the people in the epidemic area, and the other prescription was to alleviate the suffering of people infected with smallpox when they fell ill and increase their chances of surviving.
At the same time, it was repeatedly warned that people who had contracted smallpox must be isolated and that healthy people should not come into contact with them, but if there were people who had recovered from smallpox, they could go and take care of the patients.
Da Chu was waiting for the results of the smallpox vaccination, while Wei Xuelin finally set off again for Bei Li.
