Chapter 548 The Tragedy of Smallpox (1/2)



With pressure from Wanyan Da and the previous failure of Mo Zhi, Lin Wanqing became more cautious this time.

That night, Alan developed a fever.

The palace maid who was taking care of her reported this to Lin Wanqing, and Lin Wanqing went over to take a look.

The wound is a little red and swollen, but it doesn't look very serious, and the fever isn't particularly high.

Lin Wanqing knew that the smallpox vaccine was working.

For the next week, Lin Wanqing visited Alan almost every day to check on her wound and body temperature.

However, she strictly forbade anyone from giving Alan any medicine, leaving Alan to remain ill, but the food given to Alan was much better than that given to ordinary palace maids.

From the moment Alan began to feel unwell, he prepared to wait for death, just like Mo Zhi.

Unexpectedly, on the seventh day, her high fever began to subside, and she could clearly feel her body improving. The wound on her left arm also began to heal, slowly shrinking into a small scar.

Seeing Alan like this, Lin Wanqing smiled.

She knew she had succeeded.

However, this still needs to be verified.

After Alan had recovered, Lin Wanqing sent her directly to the Frost Moon Tribe, instructing her to take medicine and care for those who had contracted the plague.

When Alan found out, he was completely stunned.

She never imagined that after escaping one disaster, she would be sent to her death by the Queen.

The people of Frostmoon are trying to escape, but she is to be sent there. How can she resist?

Upon arriving in the Frostmoon tribe, Alan saw that almost every household was filled with people infected with the plague, their bodies covered in various pustules, and the stench made her want to vomit.

When the people of the Frostmoon tribe saw Alan arrive with medicine, some of those with milder symptoms knew that Alan had been sent by the Queen to help them. They all knelt on the ground to thank the Queen for her kindness and for not abandoning the Frostmoon tribe.

Alan came to the Frostmoon tribe with the mindset of certain death. Seeing the people suffering so much, she couldn't bear it. She quickly took out the herbs that the imperial physicians and shamans had researched, boiled them, and fed them to the people of the Frostmoon tribe.

Neither the royal physicians nor the shamans dared to be certain whether the medicine would be effective; it was only a prescription they had given after hearing that the Queen was going to send Alan to the Frostmoon Tribe.

It wouldn't make sense if they hadn't done the research after all this time; they should at least put on a show.

Whether the medicine is effective or not is another matter. If it is ineffective, we can't blame them, since no one has ever seen this disease before.

A week later, Alan showed no signs of infection, which puzzled the people of Lin Yue.

Some even say that Alan is a saint descended from the gods to help them.

At this point, Alan also began to suspect that everything the Queen had done to her was a method to cure the plague.

Thinking about this possibility, and seeing that he was around patients with the disease every day without any problems, Alan became a little excited.

His previous resentment towards the Queen suddenly dissipated.

If the Queen truly finds a cure for the plague, what does it matter if she has to die?

Ten days later, Alan was taken back and thoroughly cleaned. The clothes she had brought back from the Frostmoon Tribe were burned. After all this was done, she was taken to a separate hut.

A short while later, Lin Wanqing arrived at the cabin. After carefully examining Alan, she confirmed that she had truly succeeded this time!

Considering how contagious smallpox is, and that vaccination with cowpox would be ineffective if one had already contracted smallpox, Lin Wanqing had no choice but to risk getting vaccinated with cowpox, and her condition improved a few days later.

When Wanyan Da once again summoned loyalists, ministers, tribal chiefs, imperial physicians, and shamans to discuss ways to resolve the epidemic, Lin Wanqing appeared before them, smiling, and said:
