Yipin Tang

Chapter 127 Life and Death
The time of Hai had passed, Xuanwu Gate had been closed for a long time, but the Tai Chi Hall was still brightly lit, Li Shimin sat high on it, his expression uncertain.

Changsun Wuji and others did not leave the palace, and they all stood below respectfully at the moment.

The outside of the Tai Chi Hall was pitch black, just like the atmosphere inside the hall, which made people feel oppressed and dignified.

Li Shimin suddenly felt a little regretful that he didn't let the condemned prisoners to be tested for cowpox first, in case something happened to Wang Xiang and Sun Simiao...

Just as he frowned, he saw and heard the guards' voices from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty! Something happened to Marquis Jiayuan and Daoist Sun!"

……

Wang Xiang didn't expect the outbreak of cowpox virus to be so fierce. Before, he swore that cowpox would not be fatal, but now he himself has some doubts.

Before he completely passed out, he had only one thought: Nima, this time there is a big hole...

After finally escaping the apocalypse and coming to the Tang Dynasty, he became a marquis and married a beautiful wife. Before enjoying the good life, he sacrificed his life because of his own death, which is simply the greatest tragedy.

I don't know how long it took, and when Wang Xiang regained consciousness again, he felt something pressing on his chest, feeling oppressed and uncomfortable.

I moved my body and tried to open my eyes, and what I saw was a pretty face with great surprise, and there were still traces of tears in the corners of the eyes.

"You're awake!"

Wu Shun looked haggard, and Wang Xiang felt inexplicably sore. He obviously had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it when it came to his lips. Finally, he said in a trembling voice, "You've lost weight."

After half a year, he returned to Chang'an and didn't even have time to feel the warmth and kindness of returning home. He almost faced death. At the moment when the cowpox broke out, he really thought he was going to die.

"Husband, are you hungry? I brought food from Dengxian Tower." Wu Shun saw that Wang Xiang was weak when he spoke, and quickly turned to get the food box.

When Wu Shun said this, Wang Xiang really felt very hungry and weak all over, so he asked, "How many days have I been in a coma?"

"Three days."

Wu Shun opened the food box, and the bird's nest porridge inside was still emitting a faint heat. This kind of insulated food box was taught by Wang Xiang to Aunt Lin when he was outing.

Wang Xiang opened his mouth to take a sip of the sweet and warm bird's nest porridge, and suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Where is Daoist Sun?"

"Haha, it's rare that you still remember Pindao. Pindao has tried countless poisonous herbs, and this is the first time he has encountered such a fierce and overbearing cowpox."

Wang Xiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the familiar voice behind him. Looking back, Sun Simiao was sitting not far away holding a dagger to study the beef pus on it. He seemed more energetic than himself.

"I didn't expect cowpox to break out so badly." Wang Xiang was a little embarrassed.

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "It's okay, cowpox can prevent people from being infected by smallpox. You are a great kindness to the people of the world." He woke up yesterday, and he was very happy to see that Wang Xiang was fine. It is true that cowpox will not kill people. If it can be proved that people who have been infected with cowpox will not be infected by smallpox, then this is definitely an immeasurable merit.

After drinking a bowl of bird's nest porridge, Wang Xiang finally regained some strength, pulled Wu Shun to sit next to him and said softly, "Why did you come here?"

Wu Shun's eyes turned red: "Laifu brought sister Ju Yiya home that day."

Hearing Wu Shun bring up this matter all at once, Wang Xiang scratched his head in embarrassment and explained: "That... actually... it's really this..."

Seeing Wang Xiang's embarrassed look, Wu Shun broke the point and smiled: "My husband has such a temperament. I heard that Lai Fu said that my husband has also returned to Chang'an, but I didn't see him back to the mansion. I thought he was embarrassed."

Wang Xiang chuckled: "It's not that your Majesty is in a hurry to see me, but I can swear that my feelings for my lady have not changed at all."

Seeing Wang Xiang raising his hands and swearing in a serious manner, Wen Wen chuckled, and said softly, "I know that my husband treats me well. The Marquis Mansion only has one man, and it depends on my husband to continue the incense of the Guangyao family. I'm not that kind of ignorant person." Right and wrong jealous wife, if my husband can marry Princess Gaochang, it can be regarded as fighting for the Marquis's family, how can I blame my husband."

"It's still a lady who understands righteousness." Wang Xiang immediately said with a playful smile.

Wu Shun's expression darkened and he said: "I heard from Lai Fu that my husband went to the palace to meet His Majesty, so I asked Aunt Lin to prepare the food and wait for my husband to come back. Unexpectedly, after Youshi the palace gates were closed and I didn't see him coming back."

"When I was in Zishi, the Malays in the palace suddenly reported that it was my husband... My husband is dying."

Wang Xiang gently stroked a strand of fine hair on Wushun's forehead: "So you came here, didn't you?" He didn't say that smallpox or cowpox would be contagious, and since Wushun came, it meant that she didn't care at all. No need to say much.

The two of them leaned together to feel the warmth for a moment, Wu Shun suddenly looked up at Wang Xiang and said in a sobbing voice, "Husband, Ernan is alone in Xishui Village, I'm afraid of her, I'm afraid of her..."

Wang Xiang quickly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, King Jin and the crown prince will be fine in Ernan. Daoist Sun and I are ready to go to Xishui Village to cure smallpox after we have been vaccinated against smallpox."

Although Wu Shun had heard about the cowpox from Li Er, he was still worried: "My husband is really not afraid of smallpox infection?"

Wang Xiang laughed: "Don't worry, Daoist Sun and I have both been inoculated with vaccinia, and naturally we are not afraid of being infected by smallpox. It's not just me. You all have to be vaccinated later, otherwise it will be dangerous if you encounter a smallpox patient."

Wu Shun nodded obediently.

When the news of Wang Xiang's recovery reached the Tai Chi Hall, Li Er, Changsun Wuji and others were all relieved, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Sun Daochang and Wang Zixin are both fine. It seems that although cowpox looks quite dangerous when it breaks out, it really won't kill people." Changsun Wuji expressed his opinion.

Another minister interjected: "It's just that the two of you still can't seem to be so sure?"

"Yes, I also feel that it is too casual to think that the so-called cowpox will not kill people. It is better to do more observations." Many ministers echoed.

In this way, they must be extremely unwilling to vaccinate against vaccinia.

The sergeant who brought the news said: "The Marquis of Jiayuan and Daoist Sun said that the cowpox has been vaccinated, and they are going to Xishui Village to help the people there cure smallpox."

Li Er pondered for a while and was about to ask the sergeant to tell them to come. Wei Zheng, who was standing below, spoke first: "Your Majesty, since the Marquis of Jiayuan and Daoist Sun have been vaccinated and miss the people of Xishui Village, let them go directly to Xishui Village. Let Water Village help the people there."

Li Er glanced at Wei Zheng, who looked normal, and his heart moved: It seems that he also has doubts about the cowpox that Wang Zixin said.

"Forget it, since Marquis Jiayuan and Daoist Sun miss the people of Xishui Village, let them go directly to Xishui Village."
