Chapter 18: Worthy of the flourishing medical art

Chapter 18

Their blood pulsed wildly in their temples, their heads felt like they were being crushed, on the verge of exploding, and then growing something new.

As if all things were being reborn, destroyed and rebuilt.

Inoculation?!

Who would think of the insane idea of infecting themselves with a disease, such a dangerous act?

Only a madman could conceive of it!

Seeing the astonished look on the ancients' faces, Gu Sang first expressed sincere gratitude to the doctor, and then explained to the ancients:

"In our world, the vaccines we get since childhood work like this."

"Pathogens extracted from cows are weakened to a level that does not threaten humans, then transplanted into the human body, and after curing the disease, we develop antibodies."

"But the doctor says all these methods need to be tested first."

In a scene where people gaped, stunned for a long time without coming to their senses.

A concubine suddenly covered her face and broke down in tears: "My poor child! If only you lived in the Princess's world, you wouldn't have died."

"You were not even a year old, you hadn't even opened your eyes to see this world, and you left me."

"Wah wah wah...Princess, if only you had come home earlier, if I had known about this method a year ago, my child wouldn't have died!"

The concubine knelt on the ground, weeping inconsolably in utter anguish.

Her newborn child, not even a year old, had inexplicably contracted smallpox and died!

And she, the mother...

Could only watch helplessly as her child suffered to death, unable to do anything, unable to help at all...

"My servant's brother also died of smallpox..."

"My lord's eldest son was killed by chickenpox, but I was powerless back then!"

"As an Imperial Physician, I could not save the world, nor my own child."

"Wah wah...Princess, you are truly a celestial being incarnate, caring for the world. If only...if only we had known the treatment method earlier, perhaps not so many would have died."

More and more palace maids cried softly.

Their loved ones had perished, to a greater or lesser extent, in the recurring epidemics.

Some contracted smallpox, some contracted chickenpox...

Alas, they only learned of this method today.

This family scene of warmth.

Made Gu Sang's gaze dim slightly, in the past she might have quietly closed the door and fled this place.

But not anymore.

After going through life and death, even familial love had faded for her.

Seeing Gu Sang enter, Gu's mother fell silent with embarrassment on her face, while Gu's father was the first to come to his senses.

"Little Sang, Qing said you were the one who sent her to the hospital, thanks to you."

Gu's father spoke politely yet distantly, as if to a stranger.

Gu Qing turned her head arrogantly, glancing sideways at the fruits Gu Sang was holding: "Who needs her help, don't think I'll be grateful just because she rescued me."

"You can't even afford tuition and have to fight for it yourself, yet you buy red globe grapes, acting like you're rich!"

"I won't eat them, I absolutely won't eat the fruits you bought, let me tell you Gu Sang, take this fruit bowl back with you! I won't be grateful to you."

Damn it, why is this sister of hers still so insufferable?

Poor yet wanting dignity.

Can't she just swallow her pride and be good to herself for once?

Over two hundred yuan for a bunch of grapes, Gu Sang probably hasn't even tasted them, yet she bought them for her?

So annoying!

"You're used to the expensive stuff, so naturally I had to buy the premium ones. Since you're unappreciative, I'll just take them back."

"Gu's father, Gu's mother, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

Gu Qing's face darkened, trembling as she pointed at Gu Sang: "You! You!"

"I knew you never liked me!"

"Wah wah wah Mom, Dad, I don't like her either anymore, you don't know how awful she was today, she obviously knows how to ride a horse but pretended not to."

"And she rode so recklessly, whoosh whoosh whoosh, I almost died at the riding arena."

Only at this moment!

Did Gu's father and Gu's mother realize that the current Gu Sang was completely different from the past.

The former Gu Sang was silent, meek and subservient, appearing to have no will of her own.

But the current Gu Sang exuded an aura of noble elegance, as if raised as a princess of royalty, her every movement graceful and dignified, brimming with confidence!
