Since Mo Han borders Bei Li, the news quickly reached back.
Looking at the message in her hand, Su Ruojin remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Yanchu came in carrying the milk and noticed something was wrong with her. "Ajin, what's wrong?"
Su Ruojin handed the message she had just received to Xiao Yanchu and obediently took the milk from his hand and drank it.
Recently, Xiao Yanchu has been wishing that Ajin would eat every hour of the day, and he tries his best to change her food.
Su Ruojin now accepts all the food Xiao Yanchu brings her without hesitation. She gets hungry often, so eating more won't hurt.
Anyway, Xiao Yanchu never brought much food each time. Su Ruojin knew that he had secretly consulted Wu Ti and remembered that pregnant women should eat small meals frequently, as eating too much would make the fetus too big and difficult to deliver.
Even though he was a doctor, Xiao Yanchu still had to ask Wu for advice. Su Ruojin saw Xiao Yanchu's cautious concern and was happy to cooperate to put his mind at ease.
After reading the letter, Xiao Yanchu's gaze turned cold. "Ah Jin, the symptoms of this pox are exactly the same as those of smallpox."
Su Ruojin put down the bowl, and Xiao Yanchu noticed the milk stains on the corner of her mouth. He took out a handkerchief and wiped them for her.
Su Ruojin smiled as she watched him put away the handkerchief.
"Yes, so I suspect that the smallpox outbreaks in Da Chu, Xiao Yue, and Yun Qi were all transmitted from Bei Li, and that someone did it on purpose."
In this era, regardless of the country, people's lives were not considered wealthy. Most of the time, when clothes were torn, they were patched and worn again. Older children's clothes were altered to fit younger children. Even if they were torn beyond repair, they would be cut into rags and reused. Very few people would be willing to throw them away directly.
"I'll write to Yuan Hong and Yun Hao and ask them to send someone to investigate. If they also have this situation, then we can confirm it," Su Ruojin said.
If the smallpox outbreak in Da Chu, Xiao Yue, and Yun Qi was unintentionally transmitted by Bei Li, then so be it.
But if someone does it on purpose... then it's a completely different story.
In this way, the fact that Bei Li spread the plague to other countries was enough to trigger a war of annihilation among the three kingdoms.
King Li of the North couldn't possibly be unaware of this possibility, so why did he still dare to do it?
Su Ruojin always felt that there was some hidden story they didn't know about.
Su Ruojin originally wanted to go to Bei Li herself to see, but considering that she was pregnant, Xiao Yanchu would definitely not let her take the risk, so she had to suppress her thoughts.
"Ah Jin, this letter says that the Queen of Bei Li, the newly crowned goddess, has found a way to cure smallpox. What is the background of this goddess?" Xiao Yanchu asked curiously.
The relationships within the Northern Li royal family are incredibly chaotic. The Northern Li King can change queens as easily as he changes clothes, without considering anything else.
Xiao Yanchu knew that the former king of Beili had passed away and a new queen had taken her place, but he didn't think much of it.
Now that the new queen has become the goddess of Bei Li and even found a way to cure acne, she is no ordinary person.
“According to the customs of Bei Li, one can become a queen by virtue of one’s appearance or by the temporary favor of the King of Bei Li, but to become a goddess, one must have divine achievements,” Xiao Yanchu added.
Su Ruojin also knew that, for Bei Li, the goddess's status was not comparable to that of an ordinary queen.
Moreover, according to intelligence, this Northern Li also used cowpox to treat smallpox.
The treatment plan devised by the Goddess of Northern Li?
Suddenly, the image of a person inexplicably flashed through her mind.
Is it what she thinks?
After Lin Wanqing disappeared, there was no further news of her.
"Yanchu, do you have a portrait of the Goddess of Beili?" Su Ruojin asked hurriedly.
"I'll go and have someone find it right away."
The appearance of the Queen of Beili is not a secret. The ceremony in which the goddess was conferred was witnessed by thousands of people in Beili, and some people even have a portrait of the goddess in their homes.
Soon someone brought over a portrait of the goddess.
Su Ruojin took a look and, sure enough, it was Lin Wanqing!
