Chapter 1100 Queen
Eunuch Wu carefully led her through the palaces. The further they went, the more space there were for flower beds on both sides of the road, and various flower pots were placed under the corridors.
Along the way, Koko would occasionally report emotionlessly that he had discovered rare species, but not to mention Manbao, even Koko knew that its host would not run to the flower bed and squat down to dig flowers and plants for it, so its electronic sound was not exciting at all.
Manbao listened to these sounds and walked to a palace. She looked up at the plaque and said "Li Zheng Palace" in her heart.
Eunuch Wu turned aside and was about to tell Manbao to follow closely, but when he looked up slightly, he saw her tilting her head back to look at the plaque. He was startled and quickly stepped forward, tugged on her sleeve, and whispered, "Hurry and lower your head."
Manbao lowered his head and imitated him by slightly tilting his head to speak to him, "Is it not possible to raise your head?"
"No!" Eunuch Wu sighed and whispered, "Little Doctor Zhou, when you go in, keep quiet. Just answer whatever the masters ask you. Oh, Imperial Doctor Zheng and the others are in there too."
Manbao said "Oh" and asked, "Who else is there besides the prince? Who am I treating?"
When Eunuch Wu saw someone coming out, he hushed them and said, "Don't ask so many questions. You'll know once you get in."
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng nodded repeatedly and tugged at Manbao's sleeve.
Manbao followed Eunuch Wu in obediently, with his head lowered and his hands folded in front of his stomach, but his eyes could not help but move around and looked at the ground.
After entering a large hall, she could see people quietly coming in and out on both sides, and she heard coughing from a long distance away.
Manbao couldn't help but look up slightly, and saw that there were only palace maids coming in and out of the hall, no prince, and no one else who looked like a noble.
She blinked and looked at the screen to the side.
A young woman walked out from inside, and Manbao immediately lowered his head and stared at his toes.
She saw Eunuch Wu, who was standing in front of her, drifting away from her sight. She lowered her head and did not look up to see where he had drifted to.
Shopkeeper Zheng, who had been secretly watching Manbao, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
The two heard Eunuch Wu talking to the young woman, "Aunt Shang, the doctor His Highness invited has arrived."
Aunt Shang looked at Manbao, smiled politely at Eunuch Wu, and then stepped forward and said, "Open the medicine box and let me see it."
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng immediately placed the medicine box on the table beside him and opened it.
Manbao finally looked up at this moment, looking at Aunt Shang curiously, but she didn't expect that Aunt Shang, who wanted to check the medicine box, didn't look at the medicine box, but stared at her.
Their eyes met, and Manbao subconsciously smiled at her.
Aunt Shang looked away expressionlessly at the medicine box. She checked the contents and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay, go in."
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng quickly closed the medicine box and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Manbao followed Aunt Shang, and the shopkeeper Xiao Zheng immediately followed with the medicine box.
After passing a screen in the middle, they arrived at the back entrance of the palace. They pushed the door open and went in. There were many people standing inside. Aunt Shang took them to a large screen and asked them to wait before going in through the screen.
Manbao heard her say to someone, "My lady, the doctor is here."
A cough sounded, and Manbao heard a soft voice saying, "It's not a serious illness, why did you invite a doctor from outside?"
"Mother, you promised to take a look."
Manbao recognized the voice as the prince's. She sighed softly when she heard it, "Since she's here, let her come in and take a look. I also want to see what the person who saved Su Jian looks like."
Aunt Shang came out again soon and said to Manbao and Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng, "The Queen has summoned you. Come in."
Manbao followed her around the screen and saw more people standing inside. There was a person leaning on the bed in the middle. Manbao just glanced at her secretly and lowered his head.
Although it was only a glance, she also thought she was very beautiful.
Manbao bowed deeply, but the shopkeeper Xiao Zheng behind her had already knelt down. Manbao noticed it and was stunned for a moment, but now she had bent down and it was too late for her to kneel down.
Manbao could only pretend he hadn't seen it and bowed, saying, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
The Queen raised her hand slightly and smiled, "No need to be polite."
Manbao straightened up and looked at the queen, his eyes sweeping over the prince standing beside him.
There were many young men, boys and beautiful girls standing beside the prince, and they were also looking at him curiously.
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng also stood up from the ground holding the medicine box, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Why don't you just say so earlier if you don't want to kneel?"
The Queen knew Zhou Man was young, but she was still surprised when she actually saw her. She had never expected her to be so young. She couldn't help but wave and said with a smile, "Are you Doctor Zhou? Come forward and let me see you."
Manbao walked forward and stood in front of the bed, getting a better look at the queen. She looked haggard, but still beautiful, so he couldn't help but smile sweetly.
The Queen couldn't help but smile when she saw her smile, and beckoned her to come closer. "What a lovely child... Ahem, how old are you?"
Manbao felt that he couldn't lie to her, so he said very honestly: "I'm almost thirteen. My birthday is in the twelfth month."
The Queen laughed and said, "You still have three months to go. You are so amazing at such a young age. Who did you learn your medical skills from?"
"There are many, including my fifth sister-in-law's grandfather, Doctor Ji, Imperial Physician Fan, Doctor Chen, as well as Manager Zheng, Doctor Ding, and Doctor Tao."
The Queen said softly, "I heard that you are a disciple of Confucianism, right?"
Man Bao was stunned for a moment before nodding hesitantly, "I studied Confucian classics, but I also read Taoism and Legalism. I learned their skills, so I can be considered their disciple."
The Queen smiled, coughed, and said, "So, you don't have to be too formal when you meet us."
The prince beside him said, "Mother, let her take a look at you."
The Queen extended her hand and smiled at Manbao, saying, "This is an old problem. It's been there for over twenty years. No matter how many medicines I've taken, it can't be cured. Take a look at it."
Manbao turned around and saw that the shopkeeper Xiao Zheng had already opened the medicine box and took out the pulse pillow.
Manbao placed her hand on the pulse pillow and listened to her pulse carefully. The room became quiet, with no sound except the queen's occasional cough.
The emperor walked in, stopped everyone's actions, and stood with his hands behind his back watching Manbao treat the queen.
Manbao didn't take his hand away. Instead, he looked at the queen's expression and asked, "When did the queen first fall ill?"
The Queen thought for a moment and said, "When I was fifteen, I got caught in the rain and fell ill. I didn't fully recover from the illness, and it left a lasting impression."
Manbao asked, "Apart from the cough, what else is wrong with you, Madam?"
"When I get sick, I always feel chest pain and headache, and I feel lazy and don't want to move."
Manbao asked: "Are you having trouble breathing or feeling chest tightness?"
The queen smiled and nodded, "Yes, but sometimes, especially at night."
