Chapter 345 Wearing a Top Hat
The eldest prince snorted coldly, and before the third prince could finish his words, he retorted:
"As far as I know, people who are infected with smallpox do not become sick immediately."
"If you follow your method, how do you know that those who don't seem to be sick are not infected with smallpox?"
"Once these people are evacuated to Pingcheng, it won't be long before smallpox breaks out in the entire city."
"By then, if one person tells two people, two people tell three people, there's no guarantee that the smallpox will even spread to the capital!"
Seeing that his proposal was no longer refuted, the third prince could not help but turn his face cold and speak sarcastically to the eldest prince.
"The method I proposed is not good, so does that mean the method that Big Brother proposed is acceptable?"
"Brother said that he wanted the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital to treat smallpox. Could it be that there is a talented person in the Imperial Hospital who has researched a prescription for treating smallpox?"
When the Third Prince said this, Jing **'s eyes lit up at the top and he looked towards the First Prince.
The eldest prince smiled slightly and said to Jing **: "Although this person is not currently working in the Imperial Hospital, he is indeed a capable person that I want to recommend."
The reason why the eldest prince proposed to send people to Shuozhou to treat smallpox was naturally for another purpose.
Jing** heard this, and a little hope appeared in his eyes, "Who is it?"
If there is someone who can really cure smallpox, he must be highly valued and rewarded!
The eldest prince slowly uttered three words: "Princess Yi!"
Ever since the New Year's Eve banquet, the eldest prince has been trying to find a way to deal with Xiao Jingyi and must not let him sit on the throne of the Eastern Palace.
I didn't expect that he would find the opportunity so soon.
The smallpox in Shuozhou came at the perfect time!
Isn’t Yun Fuling a good doctor?
Then let her go to Shuozhou to treat smallpox!
Since ancient times, smallpox has been an incurable terminal illness. Even if Yun Fuling had some medical skills, there was no way she could cure smallpox.
This time, he would most likely die from smallpox in Shuozhou.
As long as Jing** opened his mouth, Yun Fuling had to go even if she was unwilling.
After all, the crime of disobeying an imperial order is a serious one.
What's more, Yun Fuling is famous as a miracle doctor. As long as public opinion is stirred up a little, Yun Fuling will have to go to Shuozhou for the sake of his own reputation.
The eldest prince had already thought of a way to block the road that did not lead to Shuozhou.
Never give Yun Fuling the chance to choose.
As long as Yun Fuling is dealt with, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of Xiao Jingyi's arms.
What's more, Xiao Jingyi is deeply in love with Princess Yun Fuling.
How could he just watch Yun Fuling go to Shuozhou alone?
Who knows, when the time comes, he will protect Yun Fuling and go to Shuozhou with her.
If Xiao Jingyi also contracted smallpox in Shuozhou, wouldn't this major worry be solved without spending a single soldier?
The more the eldest prince thought about it, the more he admired himself.
In such a short period of time, such a perfect plan was come up with.
The third prince's eyes rolled, and he realized belatedly that this was an opportunity to get rid of Xiao Jingyiyun Fuling and his wife.
If he did it himself, not only would he have to plan hard, but once the clues were revealed and his father found out, he would be severely punished.
By then, other princes might take advantage of her.
But if Xiao Jingyi died of smallpox, it was his own bad luck and had nothing to do with others.
The Third Prince glanced at the First Prince covertly, thinking secretly that the First Prince had a very dark heart to be able to come up with such a vicious plan!
But this plan really pleased him!
The Third Prince's mind changed slightly, and he changed his previous attitude of opposing the First Prince, and instead agreed, "If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have thought of it."
"Father, I have heard that Princess Yi is an excellent doctor. When Father was ill before, the doctors were helpless. I remember that it was Princess Yi who cured Father."
"And the young lady of the Xiao family of the General's Mansion had a difficult delivery. I heard that all the doctors and midwives in the city said that they couldn't save her."
"In the end, Princess Yi had a caesarean section and not only was Madam Xiao from the General's Mansion alive and well, she also gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, safely."
"Princess Yi's medical skills are highly praised by everyone!"
The third prince put one tall hat after another on Yun Fuling's head.
The eldest prince and the third prince looked at each other.
The two of them temporarily put aside their grudges and exchanged a tacit look with each other.
With Xiao Jingyi as their common enemy, it is not impossible for them to cooperate.
My father's attitude at the New Year's Eve banquet has already revealed his intention to make Xiao Jingyi the crown prince.
If they don't do something, they can only watch Xiao Jingyi sit in that position.
With Xiao Jingyi around, what chance do they have?
So let’s work together to deal with Xiao Jingyi first.
As for who will take that position after dealing with Xiao Jingyi, it all depends on their own abilities!
The eldest prince and the third prince sang the same tune, and Xiao Jingyi's heart sank anxiously.
Although he understood that the two men did it on purpose, he couldn't refute them out loud.
First of all, after Yun Fuling came to Beijing, he demonstrated his superb medical skills many times. Now he is very famous and is even known as a miracle doctor among the people.
Secondly, smallpox is spreading in Shuozhou right now, and people are needed to solve the problem.
The eldest prince and the third prince mentioned Yun Fuling at this time. If Xiao Jingyi spoke out in opposition and rejected this matter on behalf of Yun Fuling, then in the eyes of Jing ** and others, he would be considered to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and unwilling to work for the court and the people.
As members of the royal family, they enjoyed support from the people, but were unwilling to sacrifice for the people.
Once you are branded like this, how can you survive in the world?
But that was smallpox!
Smallpox is extremely contagious and once infected, the outcome is certain death!
How could Xiao Jingyi bear to let Yun Fuling set foot in Shuozhou?
The eldest prince's move was truly vicious, leaving Xiao Jingyi in a dilemma as to whether to respond or not, unable to advance or retreat.
After the third prince, several other court officials also spoke in agreement.
Jing ** pondered for a moment, then said: "Send all the doctors on duty at the Imperial Hospital today."
After a pause, he continued, "Princess Xuanyi is here to see you!"
Because the Imperial Medical Bureau was in the palace, all the doctors on duty arrived soon.
After the imperial doctors knelt down, Jing ** asked, "Regarding smallpox, do you have any solution?"
When they heard the word smallpox, all the imperial doctors shuddered.
That is an incurable disease that makes people shudder!
Wherever smallpox appears, it will eventually become a wasteland.
There were also doctors who wanted to conquer smallpox, a terminal disease, but generation after generation, no one had ever succeeded.
One of the imperial physicians had personally experienced smallpox. When he recalled it now, he still felt as if he had fallen into hell and his whole body was cold.
The imperial doctors looked at each other, and finally Ouyang Yuanzheng, the leader, answered:
"Your Majesty, smallpox has always been an incurable disease since ancient times."
"If you are unfortunate enough to get smallpox, you can only leave it to fate and die on your own. If you can survive it, you can live. If you can't survive it, you will die."
