Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

Chapter 91 is over, Zhu Biao has become a negative example!
Thinking about the consequences of Ma Xiuying's illness, Yuan Qi couldn't help but shudder.

This is definitely not the consequence he wants to see or know. If Zhu Yuanzhang causes trouble for him in the future, it will be a lot of fun.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't cause trouble for them, Zhu Kai and Zhu Biao would not let him go if he said something wrong!

It is better to talk less. At least if you talk less you won’t have to bear such a serious sin.

When Zhu Biao and Zhu Kai heard Yuan Qi's ambiguous words, they looked at each other and guessed what was revealed in each other's eyes.

A lot of unpleasant things happened during the time I was away from Yingtian.

Both of them felt that Zhu Yuanzhang might have encountered difficulties, but neither of them thought that Ma Xiuying would get sick.

In their own impressions, such a thing simply does not exist.

……

When they arrived at the Wuying Hall, there was no one there except Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang had already known in advance that Zhu Biao and Zhu Kai were coming, so he made preparations in advance and sent people out.

After Yuan Qi brought Zhu Kai and Zhu Biao to Wuying Palace, he did not follow them into the Wuying Palace, but stood guard outside the door.

Obviously, what Zhu Yuanzhang said is more important.

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile on his face: "Dad, your son has returned victorious! Along the way, I killed all the Mongols and made them run away when they saw me. There were no enemies wherever I went!"

"Dad, you already have such a strong son, why are you still so serious? If you have something to say, just say it, I'll help you settle it!"

"Is there anyone who wants to rebel, or is there anyone who opposes you? Tell me, I can beat ten of them."

Zhu Kai couldn't stand Zhu Yuanzhang's serious look the most, but in the end he couldn't accomplish anything.

What's so serious about it? Isn't it better to just solve the problem when it arises?
"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly.

Why can’t my own child grow up?
No wonder Ma Xiuying was reluctant to let him go, it turns out...it would be a disaster if he went out.

Zhu Biao was steady. He said nothing and did not interrupt Zhu Kai.

He knew that this was a unique way of communication between Zhu Kai and Zhu Yuanzhang, and it belonged only to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Kai. He was not suitable for this way of communication, so he did not get involved and left it to Zhu Kai and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Okay, just say a few words."

Zhu Yuanzhang would not directly tell Zhu Kai and Zhu Biao about Ma Xiuying's illness because there was no way to say it.

He was afraid that Zhu Kai would get furious, and he was afraid that Zhu Kai would do anything desperate.

He might lose Ma Xiuying, but Zhu Yuanzhang would never allow it. After he lost Ma Xiuying, he would also lose Zhu Kai.

"Kai'er, Biao'er, I called you here today because I have something to tell you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very confident in Zhu Biao. He had been trained by him and a group of founding heroes since he was a child. He had already become a battle-hardened man. He remained calm even when facing a huge challenge. This was exactly what Zhu Biao was like.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Kai and said, "But before I tell you anything, Kai'er, I have something to tell you."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't scold him or beat him as usual after he teased him a few times. This made Zhu Kai have a very bad feeling... as if something big was really going to happen.

What's the big deal?
Zhu Kai couldn't help but sit up straight and look at Zhu Yuanzhang...wanting to see what he could say.

Yuan Zhang saw Zhu Kai sitting down, and then he said: "Kai'er, after this trip to the northern border, although you are still naughty and still look like a devil, I think you should grow up. Your mother doesn't want you to take risks alone~ But I think the reason why your mother doesn't want you to go to the battlefield is that you are too immature and unstable, which makes your mother worried. Don't you think so?"

"No."

Zhu Kai shook his head and said, "No matter where I go, my mother will think that the place I go is unsafe and very dangerous. A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away. I understand your thoughts. If there is nothing else to do in the future, I will go out less often."

Going out less doesn't mean not going out at all. If you go out for more than half a year at a time, no one can say anything, right?

I only go out once a year anyway.

"You're already grown up. If you want to go out, it's your freedom, you little brat! I'm just trying to make you mature!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Kai. He found that no matter what he did, if he couldn't raise his voice when talking to Zhu Kai, then everything he said would be useless.

You just have to live with the curses!
She glared at Zhu Kai fiercely: "I'm talking to you about serious matters. You should be serious. If I don't show you your steady side, then there's no need for you to know what happens next."

"What's going on? It's so exaggerated?"

Zhu Kai sat obediently, but he was not polite at all when he spoke: "Dad, if I say that I am as calm as my eldest brother, you will definitely not believe it. I just have a bohemian appearance. As for the rest, I don't care. As long as our family is happy, I will deal with anyone who bullies our family. My goal is very simple, to protect my family, the people I love and the people who love me. As for others, whether they live or die has nothing to do with me."

"..."

What kind of bullshit is this?

Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead was filled with black lines when he heard this.

But I have to admit that what Zhu Kai said is very consistent with his personality.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have sent him to the northern border.

But the key is that Ma Xiuying doesn’t believe it, bastard!
"Dad, Brother Kai is much more mature than we thought. He handles things calmer than I do. So no matter what happens, just tell Brother Kai directly."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said firmly, "I believe him."

So, Lao Zhu, just tell me whatever you have to say. There’s no need to beat around the bush. My second brother and I can handle it.

When it comes to keeping calm, Zhu Yuanzhang still trusts Zhu Biao more. Seeing that Zhu Biao is confident enough and that Zhu Kai is more mature than him, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chooses to trust Zhu Biao.

It's not that the test doesn't take too long, but that there is no time to test it. After this conversation is over, Zhu Kai will definitely rush to find Ma Xiuying. If Zhu Kai finds out about this matter at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"There is something I need to tell you two brothers... This matter is not a secret. I won't tell you now, but you will know it after we finish talking."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally decided to say what he should say. He glanced at Zhu Kai and couldn't help but remind him, "After you listen to me, calm down and don't do anything stupid!"

Zhu Kai didn't even need to pat his chest, he just said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Then you can rest assured, when have I ever done anything stupid?"

"Row."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, took a long breath and said what he had been holding back: "Your mother is sick, it's smallpox."

When Zhu Kai heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that Ma Xiuying was sick, his heart suddenly beat fast. But when he heard that Ma Xiuying had smallpox, Zhu Kai immediately calmed down.

Hey, I thought it was something else.

Zhu Kai was calm, but Zhu Biao on the other side was not.

what?
Ma Xiuying got smallpox?
How could Ma Xiuying get smallpox out of the blue?

Zhu Biao expressed his disbelief. He did not believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said was true.

"Mom has smallpox? That's impossible!"

Zhu Biao immediately stood up and walked out, "I'll go take a look!"

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say.

Why do these two boys of mine behave in completely different ways?

I originally thought that the one who was the least calm should be Zhu Kai, but I didn't expect that the one who was the least calm was Zhu Biao.

Silly boy, you don't know anything. You will only cause more trouble if you go there.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused as to why Zhu Kai was so calm.

"Brother, sit down!"

Zhu Kai grabbed Zhu Biao's arm as he was about to leave, and said earnestly, "Brother, you are not an imperial physician, and you don't know how to take care of people. What else can you do if you go there except causing trouble? That's smallpox, a rapidly developing infectious disease. What can you do if you go there? What if you get infected with smallpox again? Wouldn't that cause trouble?"

How could Zhu Biao not know about smallpox?

But for him, he can't just do nothing, right?

“Even if I can’t help, I’ll do something.”

Zhu Biao was very stubborn at this time, "Mother is worried that we might get infected with smallpox, so she doesn't want to get close to us, but as a son, you can't just do nothing, right?"

For Zhu Biao, doing nothing was something he absolutely could not accept.

"Doing nothing is the greatest help to your mother."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and scolded him, "You need to know your identity."

Zhu Biao stiffened his neck and said, "If I have to ignore my mother just because of my status, then I would rather not have this status!"

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table angrily, stood up and scolded: "Look at you, what do you look like? You are so irritable. Look at Kai'er, look at Kai'er... He is younger than you but so calm..."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became smaller and smaller.

He found that his understanding of these two people was completely opposite.

Originally, I wanted Zhu Biao to be Zhu Kai's role model, but I didn't expect that in the end, Zhu Kai would become the role model.

What is this called!
wrong!

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that Zhu Kai's reaction was very wrong.

Logically speaking, Zhu Kaicai should be the more excited one, but why is he not so excited?
Before Zhu Yuanzhang had time to ask, the two brothers Zhu Kai and Zhu Biao started chatting first.

"Brother, I understand your feelings. Mother getting smallpox is the biggest thing for me."

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Biao, "We need to cure the disease! But we also need to protect ourselves."

Zhu Biao disagreed with Zhu Kai's words. How could there be a perfect solution in the world?
If you want everything, it is very likely that in the end, you will get nothing.

However, looking at Zhu Kai's confident look, Zhu Biao felt that Zhu Kai seemed to understand something.

But what Zhu Kai understood was beyond his grasp.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Kai, who was like a bear, standing in front of him and asked him to calm down... Zhu Biao actually calmed down.

Only Zhu Biao knew that the reason why he could devote himself to court affairs was because he had a younger brother named Zhu Kai behind him.

Zhu Kai is worthy of his trust. He can maintain a very harmonious family. The brothers play and make fun of each other, but this kind of lively play makes them more like a home. This is one of the reasons why Zhu Biao can trust Zhu Kai unconditionally.

There are so many things about Zhu Kai that are worthy of Zhu Biao's trust, and Zhu Biao trusts him unconditionally. The fact that Zhu Kai can persuade him like this means that he already has a way to deal with it.

There is only one way that can make Zhu Kai deal with it so calmly: smallpox is not an incurable disease for Zhu Kai.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao excitedly grabbed Zhu Kai's arm, staring at Zhu Kai with wide eyes and full of hope: "Brother Kai, do you know a way to treat smallpox? Smallpox is easy to cure, right?"

"Yes, and also wrong."

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Biao and said, "I can only say that if you use my method, it can increase the chances of your mother's recovery. I have never used it before, so I cannot guarantee a complete cure."

Listening to the conversation between Zhu Kai and Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang became uneasy.

What's going on...

According to Zhu Kai, smallpox is not a serious disease.

Don't say this nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself had smallpox, and he knew that the most effective treatment for smallpox was to have a strong body so that he could survive.

If you can't resist, you will die.

However, what Zhu Kai meant was that besides having strong physical fitness, did he have any other methods?

Zhu Yuanzhang sat up straight and wanted to continue listening, but Zhu Kai had no intention of continuing. Instead, he said to Zhu Biao: "If we want to protect our mother, we must first protect ourselves and make our mother feel at ease. Only then will we have a chance to protect her."

"Ah."

Zhu Biao nodded vigorously, but he still asked Zhu Kai: "Brother Kai, you mean... can we save mother?"

"Of course, I can!"

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Brother, you have to know that mother doesn't want us to go because she wants to protect us and doesn't want us to be implicated. You have to understand mother's difficulties, so... protect yourself and don't get hurt."

"Ah."

Zhu Biao nodded heavily: "Second brother, I understand, I will protect myself!"

This was Zhu Biao’s promise to Zhu Kai. Of course, what he promised was not only this matter, but also much more!
Protect yourself first, then protect the people you care about.

Zhu Kai nodded, and then said to Zhu Biao: "Leave mother's matter to me... I will give you and father two injections later, and you can go to see mother in a few days."

After saying that, Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Dad, don't worry. Mom will be fine as long as I am here."

Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that when he was least calm, the person who gave him the greatest comfort was not Zhu Biao, but Zhu Kai, who seemed the most unreliable on weekdays. This made Zhu Yuanzhang have an illusion.

It seems that Zhu Kai is the calmest and most steady person in his family. Why does it feel so unreal?

"It's okay. I'll go back to Fengxian Temple first, get some things, and give each of you an injection. Then you can go see your mother."

After Zhu Kai finished speaking, he turned around and left Wuying Hall, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looking at each other in bewilderment.

This was not the Zhu Kai they saw, and Zhu Kai's reaction was very different from what they imagined.

So calm?
Could it be... that he is pretending?

Walking into the Wuying Palace, Zhu Kai's calm expression in the palace changed, but there was no change in his pace and expression. But if you could see his hands in his sleeves, you would see that Zhu Kai clenched his fists tightly, with such force that his knuckles turned white.

From this, it can be seen that Zhu Kai is not as calm as he appears.

As for the reason for not being calm, it is also very simple.

The person who had smallpox… was the mother he respected the most, the mother who loved him the most.

Moreover, Ma Xiuying had smallpox.

Is smallpox a common disease?

No.

Smallpox is a fatal disease!

Zhu Kai prescribed liquid cowpox vaccine and freeze-dried cowpox vaccine on the super ocean freighter, but the vaccine can only play a preventive role. When Zhu Kai traveled through time, there was still no very effective treatment for smallpox.

That was in later times when medical conditions were very advanced, and we couldn't even say there were special means to treat it. Now in the Ming Dynasty when medical conditions are very backward, it is very difficult to treat it.

The reason why Zhu Kai acted so calm was very simple. He found that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had lost their backbone and were at a loss as to what to do. If Zhu Kai still didn't remain calm, then the three of them, father and son, would have no chance of saving people.

Moreover, having experienced universal medical care in later generations, Zhu Kai knew that one must save oneself first before saving others. If one cannot even protect himself, it would only cause trouble for both parties.

calm down!

Don't forget that you still have a brain when you are anxious.

……

Zhu Kai first took several freeze-dried cowpox vaccines from the super ocean freighter, and then returned to the Wuying Hall to give them to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

Zhu Kai had full confidence in the medical technology of future generations. After seeing the cowpox, he injected himself directly, so he was not worried at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, two guys who had never seen the world, were very surprised when they saw the syringe and glass bottle of cowpox vaccine that Zhu Kai took out.

What is this stuff?
Can something like water save people?
Both of them were confused and didn't know why Zhu Kai did this, but for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, if Zhu Kai said that this method could save people, then it must be able to save people.

Just as Zhu Kai unconditionally believed in Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, the two of them also unconditionally believed in Zhu Kai.

If Zhu Kai says he can save people, then he can definitely save people.

In the minds of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, Zhu Kai is a person who can create miracles. No matter how unreliable that miracle seems, Zhu Kai can just get things done. This is Zhu Kai's ability, an ability that impresses people.

Zhu Kai did not explain. Some things cannot be explained. Instead, the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes. Zhu Kai simply stopped explaining and said, "You can think whatever you want." Vaccination against smallpox requires two injections. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Kai have gone to Kunning Palace, they can only stay outside and cannot go inside.

In later generations, everyone received vaccinations against smallpox, and the disease was basically universal. Many children were vaccinated when they were just born, so Zhu Kai had no impression of smallpox. It was only after he went to school and read online articles that he realized how terrible smallpox was.

Zhu Kai only knew that smallpox was scary, but he didn't know exactly what made it scary.

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Zhang Cheng had already spotted Zhu Kai and walked towards him.

"Brother Kai, you can't go over there."

Zhang Cheng shook his head and said to Zhu Kai, "The eldest lady is most worried about you, so she told me to keep you outside no matter what."

"I know, but I came to see my mother not to cause trouble, but to save her."

Zhu Kai pointed at himself and said, "No one knows how to cure smallpox better than me... You haven't had smallpox yet, right? You stay with your mother every day, so there is a high possibility that you will have smallpox. Come on... Uncle Zhang Cheng, I'll give you an injection first."

"..."

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhu Kai in surprise.

No one knows how to treat smallpox better than Zhu Kai... Why does this sound so unbelievable?

However, Zhang Cheng, like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, had an unexplainable trust in Zhu Kai and believed whatever he said.

Zhu Kai gave me a shot in the shoulder, but apart from a little pain, I didn't feel anything else.

Zhu Kai nodded with satisfaction and put the syringe in the box: "Okay, I'll give you another shot in a few days, and you won't have to be afraid of smallpox anymore. I'll also vaccinate the ones in your family later, so we don't have to be afraid of vaccines anymore."

Why does this sound so unbelievable?

He just injected a tube of water-like substance into his body. If someone else did this, Zhang Cheng would definitely not believe it and might even be suspicious.

But the person who did this was Zhu Kai, and Zhang Cheng felt that he should believe him.

Patting Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, Zhu Kai said, "Okay, you guys stay outside. I'll go in to see mom. Don't worry! Mom will be fine as long as I'm here."

The confidence revealed in his words made Zhang Cheng couldn't help but believe it.

Yes, Kai Ge'er is a trustworthy person, he can definitely cure Ma Xiuying.

Zhu Kai took his medicine box and walked towards Kunning Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhang Cheng and said very unhappily, "You didn't stop Kai'er from going in, but you refused to let us in no matter what. Zhang Cheng, you are too nosy."

In the palace, the people who didn't pamper Zhu Yuanzhang were Zhu Kai, Ma Xiuying and Zhang Cheng. However, Zhu Kai and Ma Xiuying would usually speak nicely to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Cheng was different. He was not in a good mood towards Zhu Yuanzhang. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, Zhang Cheng said directly: "Brother Kai went to Kunning Palace to save the Queen. I wonder what your Majesty can do in Kunning Palace?"

What it means is: What else can you, Zhu Yuanzhang, do besides causing trouble?
"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so embarrassed by Zhang Cheng's rebuke. Damn... this guy really doesn't give him any face.

"..."

Zhu Biao, who was standing aside, didn't know whether he was nervous or depressed. He was originally worried about Ma Xiuying, but after Zhu Kai confirmed that he could save Ma Xiuying, Zhu Biao felt relieved.

Now, why do I feel like laughing when I hear Zhang Cheng talking to his father so disrespectfully?
Zhu Yuanzhang is really something. He knew Zhang Cheng would not give him a good face, but he still kept sticking to him. Isn't this asking for trouble?
As Zhu Biao thought about the past, the urge to laugh became more urgent.

Ahem...I can't laugh. The person being ridiculed is my own father. How can I laugh?

Can't laugh!
Can't laugh!
Zhu Biao tried hard to turn his head away, trying not to care about Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng who were sulking like babies.

He acts too much like a child. How can my father be so immature?
……

Zhu Kai came to the gate of Kunning Palace, took a long breath, and then pushed the door open with force.

"Mom, your son is back!"

The bolt on the door of Kunning Palace was not locked, and it was obvious that Ma Xiuying already knew that Zhu Kai was coming.

Ma Xiuying was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, looking at Zhu Kai with a gloomy face.

As Zhu Kai's mother, how could Ma Xiuying not understand Zhu Kai? She was extremely sure that after Zhu Kai knew that she had smallpox, he would come to her at all costs.

This was largely predictable.

Therefore, ever since Zhu Kai returned to Yingtian Prefecture, Ma Xiuying had been sending people to keep an eye on Zhu Kai and investigate his movements and whereabouts.

When someone reported to her that Zhu Kai had talked with Zhu Yuanzhang in Wuying Hall, returned to Fengxian Hall and then came back to Wuying Hall, Ma Xiuying realized that Zhu Kai's next stop must be Kunning Palace.

Can Ma Xiuying threaten Zhu Kai with death just like she threatened Zhu Yuanzhang?
No!

Zhu Kai didn't buy it at all.

You said you wanted to die, right?
Fine, I will definitely die before you!

Zhu Kai is a reckless character. There is nothing he can't do if he wants to!
Ma Xiuying couldn't stop Zhu Kai either.

"Mom, your son is back, aren't you happy?"

Zhu Kai took the medicine box and walked forward to say flatteringly: "Zhang Hao, Zhang Zhou and my elder brother have all told you about my performance in the Northern Territory, right? How is your son? He is amazing, right? But they certainly didn't tell you in detail. I will personally tell you how I killed the enemies in the Northern Territory."

Ma Xiuying just watched Zhu Kai talking nonsense here. What Ma Xiuying was most concerned about now was not Zhu Kai going to the northern border to fight, but why he came to Kunning Palace.

"Why are you so disobedient?"

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Kai's endless chatter, looking at him angrily: "Don't you know what's happening here? Is this the place you can come to?"

As she spoke, Ma Xiuying's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but scolded, "Mom is sick, and it's a serious case of smallpox. How can you be so ignorant? If something happens to you, how can I live? Even in the afterlife, won't I live in guilt?"

Ma Xiuying mentioned Zhu Kai in every sentence, which made Zhu Kai's nose sore.

He admitted that what Ma Xiuying said was right, but for Zhu Kai, being able to stay with Ma Xiuying at this time was what he should do.

"Mom, do you believe me?"

Zhu Kai walked slowly to Ma Xiuying, put the medicine box aside, squatted down and grabbed Ma Xiuying's hand, and said to Ma Xiuying very solemnly: "Mom, with me here, smallpox is nothing? I can cure it."

"What are you treating? You've never been a doctor, so what right do you have to treat?"

Ma Xiuying took Zhu Kai's words to comfort her. She pulled her hand out of Zhu Kai's and slapped him angrily: "You just don't listen! You don't listen, right? You are getting older and older, but you are getting more and more disobedient! Can't mother control you anymore?"

Zhu Kai endured the slap from Ma Xiuying but didn't take it seriously. That little bit of strength he had was not even as strong as the strength Zhang Hao used when he massaged his shoulders. Ma Xiuying was just angry that Zhu Kai was disobedient.

When Ma Xiuying had almost vented her anger, Zhu Kai showed a wronged look, looking at Ma Xiuying eagerly: "Mom, why don't you believe your son? I have never been a doctor, so what? I haven't fought in a war, but I killed Wang Baobao so badly that he dared not turn back? That Wang in Liaodong... didn't even dare to leave the house when he saw me."

Zhu Kai's storytelling gave Ma Xiuying some comfort.

Fighting a war and saving lives are completely different things. Fighting a war relies on passion and ruthlessness. With Zhu Kai's bear-like body, he is a pure battlefield bully.

But what about curing diseases and saving lives?

Curing diseases and saving lives requires very professional knowledge. If there is not enough knowledge to supplement and pave the way, how can we save lives?

impossible!
"Mom, believe me, it will be fine."

Zhu Kai said as he took out a few pills from the medicine box next to him.

It’s nothing else but cephalexin.

This thing is an antibiotic, a type of universal medicine.

Moreover, after contracting smallpox, certain complications will occur in the body, such as fever.

Cefuroxime is appropriate.

Zhu Kai squeezed out two pills, and then said to Ma Xiuying: "Mom, take these two pills. Oh, help my mom get a glass of water."

Ma Xiuying did not doubt him. Looking at Zhu Kai's confident look, after the water was brought to her, she took the pill, put it in her mouth, and then drank some water and swallowed it.

Zhu Kai took the water cup and handed two tablets of medicine to Ma Xiuying's maid: "Take two tablets each."

Then, Zhu Kai took out all the antibiotics and cold medicines and asked Ma Xiuying to take them one by one according to the dosage marked on them.

Ma Xiuying had never taken this kind of small pill before, and she even doubted whether this small pill could save lives. But seeing Zhu Kai's confident look, Ma Xiuying still followed her inner thoughts and believed in Zhu Kai unconditionally.

After giving Ma Xiuying an injection of antibiotics, Zhu Kai completed all the preliminary work that could be done.

Next, it depends on Ma Xiuying’s personal willpower.

"Mom, you got smallpox. Did someone infect you? Who did you infect? ​​Who did you infect?"

Zhu Kai collected all the information he could to prevent him from making any mistakes.

After collecting the symptoms, Zhu Kai took out a scalpel and a plastic test tube from the medicine box, sealed the tip at the bottom, and then said to Ma Xiuying: "Mom, I need to cut open the chickenpox on your face and squeeze out the pus inside."

The knife was shining brightly and looked very sharp. Ma Xiuying didn't know where Zhu Kaishi got it from, but it looked very sharp.

Let Zhu Kai do it?
She was worried that she would infect Zhu Kai.

Zhu Kai seemed to guess what Ma Xiuying was thinking, so he comforted her, "Mom, don't worry about infecting me. I've already been vaccinated, so it won't be transmitted to me. Dad, big brother, and Zhang Cheng have all been vaccinated, so it won't take long for them to be fine... Uh, no, Dad had smallpox before, right? Then it's a pity to give him the vaccine, what a waste!"

Zhu Kai sighed and felt distressed that he had wasted two vaccines.

These are all non-renewable energy sources, they are just wasted like this.

Ma Xiuying rolled her eyes helplessly.

His own Kai'er was good in every way except that he did not get along with Zhu Yuanzhang.

What will happen if this happens in the future?

Unconsciously, Ma Xiuying's mentality was no longer tense, but began to gradually relax.

This is the charm of Zhu Kai, he is proficient in everything from jokes to wit.

Seeing Zhu Kai's persistence, Ma Xiuying knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, so she simply gave up trying to persuade Zhu Kai: "Okay, you're grown up now, just take care of yourself."

"When your son grows up, he still has to take care of you, right? He will also have to marry two wives in the future, so he still has to take care of them, right?"

While chatting with Ma Xiuying, Zhu Kai squeezed the chickenpox on her face, picked out the pus inside, and put it into a test tube.

After doing all this, Zhu Kai took out the pills again.

She called the palace maid beside Ma Xiuying and told her how to get Ma Xiuying to take the medicine.

Ma Xiuying didn't move at all, just watched Zhu Kai busying around and giving instructions on every detail.

From this moment on, Ma Xiuying suddenly realized that Zhu Kai had really grown up. Although he still looked like a cynical boy, he was actually taking care of the people around him in his own way.

My own big son!
Ma Xiuying was very satisfied. This was the way she wanted to see Zhu Kai.

However, Ma Xiuying also felt a slight sense of loss.

When a son grows up, he will no longer belong to himself alone. He will have his own family and his own life. I can no longer control him.

Ma Xiuying couldn't help feeling sad when she thought that her son would no longer belong to her.

This was not the result she wanted, and perhaps she would never want it.

Zhu Kai arranged everything and checked it carefully again, fearing that there were any omissions. After a careful check, Zhu Kai returned to Ma Xiuying and said to her, "Mom, I can't be with you all the time now. When I cure your smallpox, I will be with you every day."

"it is good."

Ma Xiuying responded softly, and then said to Zhu Kai worriedly: "Kai'er, you must protect yourself."

Zhu Kai showed a smile that made Ma Xiuying feel at ease: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do."

After taking the extracted samples, Zhu Kai left Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who were guarding outside, immediately came over and looked at Zhu Kai anxiously.

"Kai'er, how is it? Can it be cured?"

"Brother Kai, what's wrong?"

Zhu Kai smiled: "No problem, Dad, I need a working ox!"

"it is good!"

Not to mention one ox, he would even use a hundred oxen if it could save Ma Xiuying's life.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed immediately and said to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, go find your uncle and ask for two oxen."

He said one, but he wanted two: "Kai'er is tired, so kill a cow for Kai'er to have a good rest."

"it is good!"

Zhu Biao took the order and left, then led the cow back to the Wuying Palace. Zhu Kai dried the smallpox pus and turned it into powder, then cut some small cuts on the cow's face, poured the powder in, and ordered people to take good care of the cow.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both didn't understand what this was about and just stared at each other.

After Zhu Kai finished his work, the two of them looked up at Zhu Kai.

“Is this all?”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused, "Kai'er, what are you doing?"

"This is called vaccination! It can be done on humans, but humans have too many variables and are difficult to control. On the contrary, cattle are more stable and are more suitable to be antigens."

Zhu Kai explained, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Dad, I heard that you also had smallpox when you were a child, but you recovered later. Were you a cowherd at home at that time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then told Zhu Kai about his doubts: "Kai'er, are you saying that the reason I didn't die from smallpox was because I was herding cattle at the time?"

"It's possible, but I'm not sure."

Zhu Kai said truthfully, and what he said was true: "As far as I know, the best way to treat smallpox is cowpox."

Cowpox was introduced from abroad. Before cowpox, the commonly used method was to inoculate "human smallpox".

However, the probability of using human pox is far less than that of using cowpox, and cowpox is more stable.

The method is to squeeze out the pus from the place where a person has smallpox, and after it dries, inoculate it on a cow. Then, when the cow develops chickenpox, the smallpox virus is eliminated by relying on the cow's own resistance. After the chickenpox on the cow forms scabs, scrape off the dried scabs and apply them on the face. After the person is no longer affected, the smallpox will be cured.

When Zhu Kai was reading online articles, he saw records about the treatment of smallpox in some history books, but they were all online novels, and none of them were professional.

Zhu Kai could only prove that this method was useful, but he could not prove that this method was the most effective method. Even the more mature medical methods in later generations were just improvements on the traditional method of vaccinating smallpox.

Therefore, the method Zhu Kai knows is the most effective method.

As for how far we can go, it is hard to say now.

After listening to Zhu Kai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask: "Then, what should we do next?"

"Wait!"

Zhu Kai pointed at the cow and said, "When the cow's smallpox is cured, we can proceed to the next step. Of course... I mean when I say wait, I mean when mother is completely cured, but she must be taken care of on a daily basis. Prepare more nutritious food for her to increase her resistance."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t know what resistance was, but he knew that he had to prepare delicious food for Ma Xiuying: “Okay, I’ll let Yuan Qi prepare it.”

"Dad, you are being too chauvinistic, aren't you? How can you let Yuan Qi prepare for this? You have to come in person!"

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said earnestly, "Now is the time for you to show off. You don't have to cook the meal yourself, but you have to serve it to him yourself, right? Now that your son has grown up, if he has to go to patrol the border in the future, do you still want to sleep alone in Wuying Palace?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Kai's words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes!"

Then he patted Zhu Kai's shoulder vigorously: "Good boy, you...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Because he was too happy, he almost forgot that Zhu Biao was beside him. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately straightened his face and said to Zhu Kai very seriously: "Kai'er, you should know that my feelings for your mother are definitely not just pretend. We really love each other and will spend the rest of our lives together! Humph!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he turned around and left proudly. He was going to deliver food to Ma Xiuying. He wanted to use practical actions to tell Zhu Kai what true love meant.

"See? Our father, an old straight man, has also learned to please others."

Zhu Kai put his arm on Zhu Biao's shoulder and looked at Zhu Biao with a frown on his face. "Brother, don't show your unhappiness on your face. It's useless! What will mother think if we are sad? What if mother gets better and we get sick? Do you think mother will worry about us? Illness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. If we can't be cheerful, how can mother be at ease?"
