Chapter 126

After Xiao Yunzhou finished speaking, he found the Imperial Study Room in an eerie silence.

His brows twitched, and he could only repeat himself, "To fight poison with poison, what do you think, Head Imperial Physician Hu?"

The imperial physicians were stunned.

The Emperor and Liu Runnian, the brother-in-law of the Liu Family, shared such an understanding?

Even the radical method of fighting poison with poison, they were in complete accord!

This was no mere marriage alliance, but rather long-lost brothers reunited!?

The crowd fell silent.

But the Head Imperial Physician Hu, who was addressed, had to speak up, "I do not know Your Majesty's rationale for this method. Lord Liu had just proposed the same thing..."

Xiao Yunzhou looked at Liu Runnian in astonishment.

Liu Runnian cleared his throat and hurried to the front, explaining the rudimentary "fighting poison with poison" method that the Head Imperial Physician Hu had mentioned earlier.

"I do not understand medicine, but I have a vague feeling that the ancients' methods were not random shots in the dark, and may contain the true way to prevent smallpox."

"Slap!"

Xiao Yunzhou slapped his thigh, excited by what he heard, "Good! Well said, Runnian!"

He, the Emperor, was originally going to come up with reasons to tell the Imperial Academy of Medicine how he, the sovereign, had conceived of this inoculation method.

Now, this Liu Runnian had helped him tremendously!

The more Xiao Yunzhou looked at Liu Runnian, the more he admired him. He was indeed the intelligent person described by the Little Princess, the destined uncle of the Little Princess.

"Good, Runnian, I didn't misjudge you. I knew that if you could conceive of the method of artificial incubation, you would also be able to apply it by extension and give the Imperial Academy of Medicine an enlightening hint at a critical moment."

The Imperial Academy of Medicine: "...?"

The imperial physicians were utterly bewildered. What enlightening hint?

"Your Majesty, the method Lord Liu referred to has long been proven useless."

But Xiao Yunzhou stood up, looked at the Left Judge who spoke, and said, "Left Judge, did you ever contract smallpox in your childhood?"

The Left Judge was taken aback, and his face quickly flushed red.

He had.

In his childhood, he had contracted smallpox, which left pockmarks and uneven skin on the right side of his brow, a scar from the smallpox lesions.

"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" Don't hit a person's sore spot.

The Left Judge's chest heaved with indignation.

If the Emperor used this to mock and insult him, he would resign immediately.

He was a physician, not an official. Despite the blemish on his face, it did not affect the dignity of the Imperial Court in any way.

But as the Left Judge seethed with anger, he heard Xiao Yunzhou's next words, which thundered like a bolt of lightning!

"Left Judge, after recovering from smallpox in childhood, have you ever encountered smallpox patients again? And after recovering from smallpox in childhood, you never contracted it again, why is that?" Xiao Yunzhou narrowed his eyes.
