Chapter 516

~4 min read 707 words

I only cause trouble!

To think I even let Brother-in-law and Mother come to see me.

I am just a piece of trash!

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just a small case of smallpox, do you think your Brother-in-law is so easily infected?"

Qin Mu's tone was somewhat stern.

But anyone could hear that this blame was actually another form of care.

It's just that.

Qin Mu's personality was a bit tough.

Sweet talk didn't suit him at all.

"Brother-in-law, I'm already like this, stop scolding me."

"Wuwuwu!"

Being scolded by Qin Mu like this, Changle could no longer hold back and buried herself in Zhangsun Wugou's arms, crying loudly.

I'm also very aggrieved!

"Alright, stop crying. What your Brother-in-law said is true, he has already found a way to resist smallpox." Zhangsun Wugou had no choice but to comfort her softly.

"Mother, really?"

Changle looked at Zhangsun Wugou with red eyes, her gaze full of disbelief.

How could this be possible?

Smallpox is an incurable disease, how could Brother-in-law have such great ability?

"Of course, don't you believe your Brother-in-law?"

Li Xueyan also comforted her with a smile.

"Alright, stop talking for now, let's hurry."

Qin Mu walked to Changle, grabbed her arm, and gently made a cut with the dagger.

"It hurts..."

Changle murmured in a spoiled manner.

"Endure it even if it hurts!"

Qin Mu was a straight-up iron-willed man, not caring at all, and smeared the previously collected pus onto Changle's wound.

"Brother-in-law, what is this stuff? It looks so disgusting."

... Asking for flowers... 0

Looking at the milky white pus, Changle felt a wave of disgust, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

"The thing that will save your life!" Qin Mu rolled his eyes at Changle, stood up, and said: "Alright, rest for two days and you should be fine."

"That's great!"

"You girl, you must not act on your own again in the future. If there's anything, discuss it with us or your Brother-in-law."

Zhangsun Wugou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This girl never lets people worry less.

"Mother, I know." Changle stuck out her tongue, nodded embarrassedly, and said: "Brother-in-law, I went out of the palace today to take a look, the smallpox in Youzhou City seems to have a trend of spreading, you must think of a way quickly."

"Rest assured! I have already ordered people to take the cowpox and vaccinate every household. Within half a month, the plague in the northern border should disappear."

.... 0

Qin Mu explained.

Just as he said.

In the following few days, the government offices in Youzhou, Lingzhou, Jizhou, and other places all received orders to strictly implement the cowpox vaccination method that Qin Mu mentioned.

Many people on the verge of death were saved.

The plague in various places was brought under control, and there was even a clear trend of improvement.

The lifeless northern border once again radiated vitality.

When people learned that it was Qin Mu who saved them, they wept bitterly and knelt to thank him.

"Wuwuwu! Heaven truly has eyes to bestow such a great monarch upon us!"

"I am willing to trade 10 years of my own life for His Majesty's lifelong health."

"His Majesty is our savior, we must thank His Majesty properly."

People in various places spontaneously took action to build living shrines for Qin Mu, offering incense morning and night.

In some places, they had even come to regard Qin Mu as a kind of faith.

They hung Qin Mu's portrait in their main halls and would respectfully kowtow with their children and grandchildren every day.

Qin Mu's reputation reached an unprecedented height.

Just as the situation in the northern border was gradually improving, the situation in Great Tang was becoming worse.

Imperial Palace, Taiji Hall.

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer! The plague already has a trend of spreading, if this continues, none of us will escape unscathed."

"That's right, Your Majesty! As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood; we need to preserve the foundation for Great Tang."

"Fleeing to Jiangnan for refuge is the only choice, even if it leaves us with an eternal bad reputation, we must hold on."
