Chapter 367 has another hidden story.
Seeing Xiao Qinian nod, Doctor An replied to Emperor Zhou: "I have compiled the medical records of those punished during this period into a book, and I am willing to hand them over to the Imperial Hospital."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou laughed heartily: "Doctor An is indeed a physician with a benevolent heart."
After the morning court session ended, Doctor An and Xiao Qinian left together.
Today's events truly felt like a dream to him, and he was still somewhat euphoric.
He thought the matter was over, but little did he know that a surprise awaited him. Not long after, his clinic received a plaque personally bestowed by His Majesty.
The four large, gold-embossed characters "A Doctor's Benevolent Heart" brought tears to his eyes. It was recognition of him, and he felt that even if he died now, his life would have been worthwhile.
Dr. An hung the plaque in the center of the clinic, so that anyone entering could see it at a glance.
His deeds spread throughout the capital, and the people praised him highly.
The Imperial Medical Academy acted swiftly, reaching a conclusion in just a few days and beginning to vaccinate the children against smallpox. The general public accepted this approach well.
The numerous beneficial deeds undertaken by the imperial court in recent years have earned the trust of the people of Great Zhou. They feel proud and fortunate to be citizens of Great Zhou.
— July arrived in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Siyue planned to visit the farm next month. In the past few days, because of the smallpox vaccine prescription she provided, the system rewarded her with wheat seeds, which had never happened before. Xiao Siyue wanted to go to the farm to plant them.
The Great Zhou now has many kinds of grains, and the people no longer go hungry. However, these are all supplementary grains. The people mainly eat wheat and rice. But the wheat yield is too low now, less than two shi per mu.
The total reward this time is 1,000 catties, which can be used to plant about 50 mu of land. After receiving the seeds, Xiao Siyue wrote a letter to Manager Liu of the estate, asking him to set aside a portion of the land and take good care of it. She would go to the estate after the autumn examination this year.
"Miss, that looks like Aunt Xu." Xiao Siyue was strolling around the mansion today, having nothing to do, and unknowingly walked near Xu Rong's courtyard. Xiao Siyue didn't like Xu Rong and was just about to leave when she heard Lan Yi's words.
Xiao Siyue looked over and saw that it was indeed Xu Rong and her maid. But what were the two of them doing? They were acting so furtively.
Xiao Siyue had some doubts, so she pulled Lan Yi and hid behind some vegetation not far from Xu Rong. Because Xu Rong had her back to Xiao Siyue, she didn't see them.
Xiao Siyue only saw that Qiu Kui seemed to have given Xu Rong something, but because of the limited view, Xiao Siyue couldn't see it clearly.
Just as Xiao Siyue was wondering, Xu Rong's voice came: "Are you sure this stuff will work?"
"Miss, please rest assured, I guarantee there will be no problems this time."
"Hmph, you said the same thing last time, and look what happened. The person is fine now, and we did nothing for nothing." Xu Rong's tone was very angry, and Xiao Siyue could see Xu Rong's body trembling.
But what did Xu Rong mean by "that everything is alright"? Who was she talking about? Weren't they always in the mansion?
Xiao Siyue continued to listen intently, and saw Qiu Kui kneel down before Xu Rong, her tone somewhat aggrieved: "Miss, I never expected this. It was smallpox, yet she's alright."
A thought flashed through Xiao Siyue's mind: smallpox? What does that mean? Could it be that Yangyang's smallpox infection was related to these two, master and servant?
And what did the okra just give her? Could it be something that could restore life? Xiao Siyue was getting impatient, but she was also afraid of alerting the enemy.
He looked at Lan Yi with disbelief, and sure enough, Lan Yi's eyes widened as well.
Xiao Siyue forcibly suppressed her anger and continued to listen to Xu Rong and the other person, but the two of them did not say anything useful. It was Xu Rong who kept complaining about the Xiao family, Xiao Siqi's ruthlessness towards her, and the Xu family's ingratitude.
Xiao Siyue didn't get any useful information, but she was immediately afraid of missing something.
Xiao Siyue only left hurriedly after Xu Rong and Qiu Kui returned to the courtyard.
She didn't go to Xiao Siqi but went straight to Xiao Qinian's study. This matter was no longer just Xiao Siqi's personal affair.
"father."
Seeing his daughter's hurried and pale face, Xiao Qinian knew something must have happened: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Dad, do you know that Yangyang contracting smallpox before was not an accident at all, it was deliberate." Xiao Siyue's anger was impossible to hide.
Although she disliked Xu Rong, it was all Xiao Siqi's business, so she didn't usually interfere. However, Xu Rong dared to take someone's life, which definitely crossed her bottom line. She would not rest until she dealt with Xu Rong this time.
"Yue'er, are you telling the truth?" Xiao Siqi's eyes flashed with coldness.
“Yes, Father, today…” Xiao Siyue told Xiao Qinian everything she had heard that day.
"Dad, tell me, how did Xu Rong get Yangyang infected with smallpox?" Their family tries their best to keep Xu Rong and the child away from each other.
"Yue'er, we need to know about this. We'll send someone to investigate right away. Don't tell your older brother and the others yet." Xiao Qinian's tone was heavy.
"Father, I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell my elder brother. But you should send someone to keep a close watch on Xu Rong. I wonder what she'll do next? To prevent her from hurting the children in the family again." Xiao Siyue couldn't help but feel worried as she thought about what Qiu Kui had given Xu Rong.
"Yes, Father knows. Don't worry, Yue'er. Father was careless before. He only thought she was a weak woman. He never expected her to have such a vicious mind."
Xiao Siyue had always trusted her father completely, so she left without worry.
After Xiao Siyue left, Xiao Qinian immediately sent people to gather several guards to surround Xu Rong's courtyard and keep a close watch on her movements.
They also sent several people to investigate what Xu Rong had been doing during this period.
Xiao Siyue left Xiao Qinian's study. She originally intended to leave, but when she thought about how Yangyang was almost killed, she felt a little sad and went to Xiao Siqi's courtyard to see Xiao Yiyang.
Seeing how lively the little guy is now, I am very grateful to the system. Thanks to it, Yangyang would probably be gone by now.
Where else could I find someone standing alive and well in front of me like this?
"Yangyang, come here and let Aunt Ran give you a hug." Xiao Siyue squatted down and waved to Xiao Yiyang, who was playing.
"Auntie, Auntie, you've come to see Yangyang!" Yangyang was very excited to see Xiao Siyue and immediately jumped into her arms, rubbing against her neck.
