Chapter 128

[Ah, it seems that the Wu Yun Country Crown Prince succumbing to smallpox is an established plot point that cannot be easily changed.]

Xiao Chuchu shook her head in Wei Zhenghuai's embrace.

[Even if the eunuch who inadvertently brought smallpox into the palace is dealt with, the smallpox crisis will still occur on schedule.]

[Logically speaking, since the Khan of Wu Yun Country is not coming to Jing Country now, even if the Crown Prince contracts smallpox within thirty days, it should not be blamed on us in Jing Country.]

[It should not affect diplomatic relations between the two countries.]

Xiao Chuchu mused, but when she checked the broadcast from Wu Yun Country, she saw the meddlesome actions taken by Xiao Yunzhou's envoy.

[Ah, so it was the Father Emperor himself who went and talked about smallpox. No wonder, a month later when the Wu Yun Country Crown Prince falls ill with smallpox, the Khan will naturally vent his anger at Jing Country's loose lips.]

[This mission was brought upon us by the Father Emperor himself.]

"!"

Xiao Yunzhou's face flushed red.

He dared not move from where he stood.

"Your Majesty?" Head Imperial Physician Hu, who was reporting on the cowpox vaccine trials, grew nervous at the Emperor's sudden reaction. "Do you have any objections?"

Xiao Yunzhou closed his eyes; how could he dare object?

The reincarnated celestial maiden, his little imperial princess, said it, so he could only listen!

This smallpox crisis was indeed caused by his loose lips!

No matter, he would smooth things over with Wu Yun Country later once the research progressed.

For now, this had brought about a celestial trial.

He had indeed brought this upon himself.

Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly, his face tense as he looked at Head Imperial Physician Hu.

"I'll give you ten more days. Can you guarantee complete success?"

"I wish to send an invitation to the Khan of Wu Yun Country to bring his princes and princesses to be inoculated. Will there be any issues?"

Head Imperial Physician Hu: "???"

[The Head Imperial Physician's face was frozen in utter shock—those few words were written all over it.]

Xiao Chuchu almost burst out laughing, but thinking of the impending death of the Wu Yun Country Crown Prince, she could not find it funny.

[Excellent, the Father Emperor is already on the path to complete the mission. I don't need to find a way to remind him.]

Necessary.

This father of hers must take the initiative.

Xiao Yunzhou picked up his tea cup and spoke gravely to Head Imperial Physician Hu, "The Khan of Wu Yun Country lost three elder brothers and two elder sisters to smallpox in his youth, and he also lost a young son."

"I empathize with his pain, and cannot bear to see our brother nation suffer the scourge of smallpox again."

Head Imperial Physician Hu was sweating on his forehead listening to this.

The first subjects for inoculation would be a neighboring country's royal prince?

"This must succeed, failure is not permitted." Xiao Yunzhou gave the Imperial Academy of Medicine a stern order.
