Chapter 283: Coming all the way to "poison"

Beixiang Plague?

Yun Shu's mind moved, and she quickly remembered the secret memorial she had read from Emperor Xuanwu.

There was a troop movement in the western part of Beixiang.

Could it be because...

"A plague, a troop movement, and my long-planned plan."

Hu Yanmingchuan raised his eyebrows proudly:
"The Second Prince's privately raised troops in the border area were exposed, and he rebelled in order to save his life.

The third prince was killed and the eldest prince was seriously injured, basically useless.

The King of Beixiang is now on high alert against the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth princes.

The entire Beixiang royal court was in a state of panic, and even greater chaos could break out at any time.

If you have planted spies in Tiansheng, the capital should have received the news in the next few days."

"So the people who came to assassinate you this time were the Second Prince's men?"

"It's not easy to expose the fact that he has private soldiers. It's normal for him to realize that it was my doing."

Huyan Mingchuan pulled the corner of his lip nonchalantly, with deep sarcasm in his eyes:
"If he doesn't realize this, I don't mind sending one more person to tell him that this is what I did.

Isn't it interesting? He was defeated by the loser he despised the most."

“…Is this the news you want to tell me?”

Yun Shu was not interested in listening to his victory speech:

“You just said it yourself, this matter will be reported back to the capital in a few days.

This kind of news is not worth twenty thousand taels of silver."

"Then the Second Prince wants to spread the plague to Tiansheng?"

Noticing Yun Shu's eyes suddenly fixed, Hu Yanmingchuan laughed happily:
"It seems that this news should be worth it."

"Speak clearly."

Yun Shu frowned:

"What did he do?"

"We just sent a team of people to your Tiansheng Capital."

Hu Yanmingchuan said slowly:

"But don't worry, because his target is you, or the entire Tiansheng royal family.

Once contracted, the symptoms of that plague were too obvious. They were worried that they would be discovered and detained before reaching the capital, so they did not spread the disease along the way, but only brought some things that could infect people.

To ensure that the thing can still infect you after it reaches the capital,
Every few days they would let one person in the team be infected with the disease.

Then we can take the infected substance from this person again and get rid of this person..."

"Where are they now?"

Yun Shu asked the key point in a deep voice,

Huyan Mingchuan cooperated and answered every question:
"It will probably take another five days to arrive in Beijing."

"Is there any cure?"

“There is no solution to this epidemic.”

Huyan Mingchuan curled his lips:

"It has another name, which Your Highness may have heard of, called smallpox."

"..."

That's something I've heard a lot about.

Who doesn’t know that even modern medicine has not found a cure for this thing, but only a way to prevent it?

Although... this may also be related to the fact that it has long been eradicated by humans. But no matter what, in this era, once you are infected with smallpox, there is no cure.

Yun Shu took a deep breath:

"You know where those guys are."

She did not use a question but a statement:
"Take my people to find them."

"Your Highness, do you intend to kill them directly?"

Huyan Mingchuan spoke quietly, as if to remind:
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the people you sent out might get infected accidentally when they do the work, and then bring them back to you?"

"I have my own plans on how to deal with this. You just need to ask someone to lead the way."

That group of people will arrive in the capital in five days.
Time is running out and there is no time to waste.

Yun Shu assigned one of his Dragon Shadow Guards to take Hu Yanmingchuan to treat his wounds, and to keep an eye on him to prevent him from causing any more trouble.

He greeted Tang Xinhua and told her that he would come to see the carriage again when he was free next time, then he rode back to the palace quickly.

"what?!"

In the imperial study, Emperor Xuanwu became furious after learning about this from Yunshu:
"Is Beixiang really not afraid of going to war with Tiansheng?"

"Whether or not to start a war is a matter for later."

Yun Shu quickly spoke to comfort him:
"Father, the most important thing now is to deal with the matter at hand!"

"you're right."

Emperor Xuanwu had a gloomy face, and was about to wave his hand and send the Dragon Shadow Guards to kill all the Beixiang people who had come all the way to Tiansheng Capital to "poison" him.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered the results he saw last time he used the life choice simulation system.

The picture given at that time was a picture of Lao Liu testing medicine.

Could it be that... even if he really sent the Dragon Shadow Guards to take action this time, there would still be a mistake and he would not be able to completely solve this problem, which would eventually lead to Old Six being tricked?

Under heavy pressure, the Imperial Medical Bureau actually came up with a prescription for treating smallpox?
"Father, I think I have seen a record of this in an ancient book before."

Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu fell into deep thought again in the middle of his words, he seemed to be thinking about how to properly handle the matter.
Yun Shu said softly:
"I had a guess then, but I never had the chance to confirm it.

But if I am not mistaken, perhaps smallpox...will no longer exist in the future."

“No longer exists?”

What do you mean?
Could it be that in the life choice simulation system, the person who finally figured out the prescription was not the group of doctors from the Imperial Hospital, but Xiao Wu?

But this kid has never studied medicine!

Emperor Xuanwu was both excited and puzzled:

"Do you have a cure for smallpox?"

“It’s not about curing it, it’s about preventing it from happening.”

Yun Shu explained seriously:

"The record I read before said that a person in a remote mountain village was infected with smallpox. There was not even a proper doctor in that place.
At that time, everyone thought that they would definitely not survive, but unexpectedly... most of the villagers survived!

The small number of people who didn't survive were basically all weak and sick.
Even without the smallpox, we might not have survived."

"How can it be!"

Emperor Xuanwu retorted subconsciously:

"This is sheer nonsense! There are only a handful of people who can survive smallpox, how could they all happen to be in that small mountain village?
What kind of book are you reading? Is it some made-up story, like the one you wrote in the newspaper?"

"That's what I thought at the beginning."

Yun Shu had expected that Emperor Xuanwu would not believe this, so he continued to make up a story with a serious face:

"So I also looked through many books that recorded similar incidents.
In the end, we discovered that these survivors actually had one very important thing in common.”

"What do they have in common?"

Although he still didn't quite believe it, seeing Yun Shu speaking so seriously, Emperor Xuanwu couldn't help but become serious as well.
