Chapter 144: Filial Son, Beautiful and Kind Female Doctor
Lin Miaoyin lived peacefully in the palace for two days.
Taking care of Xiaobao and inactivating smallpox pus every day is quite relaxing.
On the contrary, the Queen's every move attracted the attention of the entire palace. Emperor Ming even sent two maids to take care of her, saying that they were serving her but actually monitoring her.
Only after confirming that there were no abnormalities after she was vaccinated were Lin Miaoyin summoned again.
"Go, no matter what happens, your aunt is always there." The queen instructed and watched her and Yuzhu leave Ganquan Palace.
Before the two of them arrived at the imperial study, they saw a majestic figure from afar.
Soon, the empress dowager, dressed in bright red palace attire, came forward with her maids and nannies in an elegant manner.
"The granddaughter-in-law meets the royal grandmother."
"No need to be so polite, please stand up." The empress dowager raised her hand and took the lead to walk into the imperial study.
Lin Miaoyin and Yuzhu followed closely behind.
"Mother?" When Emperor Ming saw the Queen Mother come in, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But soon, this hint of surprise was buried in his eyes and disappeared, as if it had never happened.
He raised his eyes again, and there was only depth in his eyes.
"My son has met his mother."
"My mother and I do not need these empty formalities. Why did the emperor ask me to come here today?"
Emperor Ming glanced at Lin Miaoyin and said, "I'm sure that Queen Mother has heard about the smallpox incident outside Shengjing City. The fourth son's wife has a smallpox vaccine in her hand. I want to give it to Queen Mother to keep her safe."
"Smallpox vaccine?"
"Yes, it is the vaccine that the Queen was injected two days ago." Emperor Ming told the Queen without leaving a trace.
This medicine has no side effects and can be injected safely.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said immediately, "Since there is only one, take care of the Emperor first. I am already a dying man, so what if I get smallpox? Emperor, you are the pillar of our Northern Liang country, you must not be in any danger."
She ordered Lin Miaoyin without further ado, "This medicine is for your father to be injected!"
"I am strong and healthy, and I am not afraid of smallpox. But your mother has been in poor health in recent years. Now that there is medicine, how can your son put your mother in danger? If you don't want me to be criticized by the censors and laughed at by future generations, please agree."
Emperor Ming said so much that the Empress Dowager could not refuse. How could she call him unfilial when he brought up the Imperial Censor?
In the end, Lin Miaoyin injected the Queen Mother with smallpox vaccine.
Emperor Ming stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to look through the high palace walls to see the scene inside and outside Shengjing. After a long while, he sighed and said, "The vaccine was stolen. Have you found out the result?"
Lin Miaoyin shook her head.
The vaccine inexplicably disappeared from the medical system. How can we check this?
Fortunately, Emperor Ming did not dwell on the matter, but simply said: "If we can have these vaccines, it will be a blessing for the people of Shengjing. What a pity."
"Father, don't feel sorry. Although the vaccination method is more troublesome, the effect is the same."
"The vaccination method continues to be carried out in secret and should not be publicized."
"I understand."
Emperor Ming raised his hand, signaling Lin Miaoyin to leave.
After coming out of the imperial study, she went back to Ganquan Palace, said hello to the queen, and then left the palace with Yuzhu.
Although Emperor Ming concealed it well, she still saw that Emperor Ming had not originally intended to give the Empress Dowager the vaccine today.
As for why the Queen Mother appeared in the Imperial Study at the right time, it was naturally the Queen's work.
When Emperor Ming used her to test his needle skills, she retaliated rudely.
The empress dowager was invited in the name of Emperor Ming, and then forced to give the vaccine to the empress dowager in the name of filial piety.
Back then, the Empress Dowager pretended to donate her liver to save her son, but now Emperor Ming is taking care of himself first before his life or death.
What a wonderful reincarnation.
There is indeed no family affection in the imperial family.
Even though it was something she had already understood, Lin Miaoyin still couldn't help but sigh.
The atmosphere in the carriage leaving the palace was somewhat depressing.
Yuzhu thought the princess would be very happy after leaving the palace, but she had a sad face, so she drove the carriage quietly and did not disturb her.
"Turn right."
It wasn't until she heard a light voice coming from the carriage that she came back to her senses, "Princess, where are you going? Turning right is not the way back to Shiqiao Town."
"Not yet."
Lin Miaoyin was not in a hurry to return to Shiqiao Town, but planned to go to the Duke of Song's Mansion first.
After Xiaobao was kept in the incubator for a few days, the complications of premature birth were basically healed. She was worried that she would be too busy with the smallpox epidemic in the next few days and would not have time, so she wanted to send the child over earlier to prevent Ye Lanyin from suffering the pain of separation from her child for too long.
Walking into the streets of Shengjing, there were few pedestrians and the scene was even more desolate than in the previous few days.
Occasionally, when I met ordinary people on the road, they all looked miserable and worriedly discussed the smallpox epidemic. It was a sunny day in the hot summer, but the sky of Shengjing City was shrouded in haze, which made people feel cold.
Lin Miaoyin narrowed her eyes slightly.
Emperor Ming had been ordering people to suppress the smallpox epidemic. Before, although the people were uneasy, they did not dare to discuss it in the streets. However, after a few days, they did not shy away from it at all.
Well, if he loses his life, what good is the imperial power?
The more it is suppressed, the more intense the outbreak will be. She seemed to be able to imagine the tragic situation when the epidemic breaks out on a large scale.
Perhaps, today's discussion is the beginning of the outbreak.
Lin Miaoyin felt uneasy.
She hurriedly asked Yuzhu to speed up. After sending Xiaobao back, she had to rush back to Shiqiao Town as soon as possible.
Smallpox must not be allowed to spread on a large scale.
The carriage was speeding along the street, and the sounds outside were gradually becoming unclear. She could vaguely hear people talking about a beautiful and kind-hearted female doctor in Shiqiao Town. When she wanted to listen carefully, the discussion was lost in the wind.
Soon, the carriage drove into the Mansion of Duke Song.
Just like last time, as soon as I got off the carriage, Lu Zhiyi sent a sedan chair to pick me up.
As soon as he entered the room, he came to greet her, and even Ye Lanyin on the couch was a little impatient.
Lin Miaoyin knew that they missed their child very much, so she immediately took the child out of the medical system.
The baby was kept in the medical system for a few days. Unlike his wrinkled appearance when he was just born, the little guy was now pink and tender, and looked very cute with his eyes blinking.
"This, this is Kang'er?" Lu Zhiyi looked at the little guy who was not much bigger than a palm, feeling a little helpless and not daring to touch him rashly.
"Let me do it." Ye Lanyin's heart softened as she looked at the little guy.
Perhaps it was the bond between mother and child, for as soon as the little treasure was taken into her arms, he grinned.
"The little thing is still smiling. Your mother must be missing you to death." Lu Zhiyi subconsciously wanted to pinch the little guy's face, but the baby's skin was so tender and thin, so he withdrew his hand before touching him.
Lin Miaoyin and Ye Lanyin both laughed when they saw his nervous and cautious movements.
Lu Zhiyi looked at the little guy and said, "I have lost my life in your hands. It is said that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future, and you are lucky. Your mother named you Kang because she hopes you will be healthy. You must live in peace and safety as your mother hopes, and don't bother her, otherwise I will not forgive you."
Faced with this little meat ball, the prodigal son also became gentle.
Perhaps his tone was too harsh and scared the little guy, and he suddenly burst into tears in Ye Lanyin's arms.
"What's the matter? Are you unhappy after I said a few words to you?"
"Miaoyin, what happened to Kang'er?"
The two new parents were at a loss and looked at Lin Miaoyin nervously.
