Sun Simiao acted faster than Chen Jingke thought. Two days later, he decided to launch a cowpox experiment immediately.
He also told the news to Wu Shu, Yang Tianlu, Hong Ling and others. These are the stewards of Zixiaoguan, so they must be informed in advance.
When everyone heard that it was related to smallpox, their faces turned pale with fear, and they all advised him not to try it.
Chen Jingke knew what cowpox was, so he naturally supported this approach and said he would do an experiment together.
Before anyone else could say anything, Sun Simiao first raised his objection:
"No, this is too risky. We can't take the risk at the same time. I can go alone and you stay at Zixiao's house."
It can be seen from this that he did not fully believe that cowpox had low toxicity, but he still decided to start research work without hesitation.
This fearless spirit shocked Chen Jingke even more. The reason why the King of Medicine became the King of Medicine was not only because of his high medical skills, but also because of his kind heart.
Chen Jingke did not insist on going, not because he doubted the toxicity of cowpox, but because he did not want to worry Sun Simiao.
Besides, Zixiao Temple is still relatively young after all. If the two owners are away for a long time, many problems will arise.
Others still strongly opposed and refused to let Sun Simiao take risks. However, their opposition was obviously of little use, and Sun Simiao had to act decisively.
After the meeting, everyone came out worriedly. Yang Tianlu left in a hurry, and then disappeared.
Chen Jingke and Wu Shu walked side by side on the road and said to her: "I thought you would object."
Wu Shu said expressionlessly: "Because I know Master won't let you go."
Chen Jingke suddenly reached out and hugged her and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
The disguise on Wu Shu's face disappeared instantly, tears remained uncontrollably, and he opened his mouth and bit his shoulder hard.
Even through the cotton-padded clothes, Chen Jingke felt severe pain. But he didn't cry out in pain, he just hugged her tighter.
After a while, Wu Shu finally spoke and asked in his ear: "Does it hurt?"
Chen Jingke said honestly: "It hurts."
Wu Shu said fiercely: "If it hurts, remember it longer... If you really want to die, then die quickly and don't hurt me."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "It's too late, you can't escape. And I am absolutely sure that there is no problem. If you participate, at least you will leave your name in history..."
Wu Shu snorted coldly and said: "Totally confident? There are no absolutes in this world. This is what you told me. Are you completely sure now?"
"To leave a name in history, I think you want to die young. Besides, do you lack the chance to become famous?"
Chen Jingke was speechless and didn't say anything else, just hugging her silently.
Holding a young imperial sister in his arms and smelling the fragrance coming from her body, he felt an impulse and couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick her snow-white neck.
Wu Shu trembled all over, as if he had been cramped, and went limp in his arms, saying in a trembling voice: "Don't... don't touch there."
Chen Jingke was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized that she didn't expect her sensitive point to be here. Got it, hehe.
…
Sun Simiao was fast, but there were people faster than him.
He had just said in the morning that he would do a cowpox experiment, and at noon Li Shimin and Changsun Wugu came over, bringing Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang with him.
As soon as he met Changsun Wugou, he said to Princess Jinyang: "Your good brother doesn't want you anymore. If you don't believe what I said, go and ask him yourself now."
Xiao Sizi ran to Chen Jingke, held his hand and said, "Brother, brother, mother lied to me and said you didn't want me anymore. Huh, I don't believe her."
How could Chen Jingke not know Changsun Wugou's intentions, but he had to say that she had pinched his weak spot.
Looking at Xiao Sizi's delicate little face, he said: "Mom is joking with you. Actually, she wants to take you out to play... Look, isn't this bringing you out?"
Xiao Sizi was not that easy to coax, and said doubtfully: "But...but she also scolded you, saying that you were seeking death for being unfilial...it's not like she was joking."
Chen Jingke loved her very much. He stretched out his hand and rubbed her face and said, "She did it on purpose. Little Sizi is so smart. How could you have been fooled if she didn't pretend to be like her?"
Little Sizi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said with great agreement: "Yes, my mother is so cunning, I was even fooled by her."
After he had coaxed the little girl, the eldest grandson Wugou said, "Xiao Sizi, you go out and play for a while. I have something to tell your brother."
In the past, when she was young, it was not a big problem to talk to her in front of her. Now that she has grown up and become more sensible, she also has her own little thoughts, and many things are difficult to say in front of her.
Xiao Sizi also said very sensibly: "Okay, hurry up, I want to play with my brother."
Then the wet nurse took her outside to play.
At this time, Li Shimin said seriously: "Master, think twice."
Sun Simiao said firmly: "Smallpox has been raging in the world for thousands of years. Every time it appears, it will cause the death of countless innocent creatures and make people change their minds."
"Now that there are ways to prevent it, the old Taoist would not hesitate to die. If things are not harmonious, the old Taoist will die well."
Chen Jingke interjected: "The toxicity of cowpox is really low. Even if you don't believe it, I should believe the elders in my family."
Changsun Wugou said angrily: "Shut up, did you let your master take risks? I think you are crazy."
"If you dare to say another word, I will risk being laughed at by everyone in the world, and I will break off your engagement with Xiao Sizi."
Um, is there a mother like you? Chen Jingke shrank his neck and complained in his heart.
He said with a sneer on his face: "Okay, okay, I promise not to talk. You talk, you talk."
Li Shimin and Changsun Wugu tried hard to dissuade them. Naturally, they did not want either Sun Simiao or Chen Jingke to take risks.
But Sun Simiao's attitude was also very determined. This experiment had to be done, and he was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the world.
"Seventy years of life are rare. I have lived for so many years and there is nothing I can't see. Maybe one day I will close my eyes. Let me do one more thing for the people of the world before I die."
When the couple saw that he had made up his mind, they were also very worried. If they could, they would like to use orders to stop him, but they knew that the emperor's orders were of little use at this time.
There are historical records in previous lives that Li Shimin found Sun Simiao and invited him to stay in Chang'an. But he insisted on leaving, so Li Shimin had no choice but to send him away reluctantly.
This was the case in his previous life, but in this life Li Shimin did not dare to use imperial orders to force him to do things.
However, a genetic disease in the royal family required Sun Simiao's treatment, and Li Shimin would definitely not let him take the risk.
Things came to a standstill.
In anxiety, Li Shimin's condition that had not yet recovered showed signs of recurrence, and he covered his forehead with a look of pain.
Sun Simiao was also a little numb now.
Changsun Wugou was even more anxious. When he saw Chen Jingke drinking tea leisurely like an outsider, he became furious and said:
"You bastard, you are the one who caused this trouble. Hurry up and find a solution for me, or I will terminate your engagement with Xiao Sizi."
