Chapter 1110 Just Pay Attention (Added for myself, hahahahaha…)
Manbao's heart moved, and he asked, "Then the Queen Mother..."
"The emperor and the empress are both very filial."
Manbao understood it with just one sentence.
In other words, in the palace, you can offend anyone, even the emperor, but don't offend the empress dowager.
But……
Manbao swallowed and asked, "I heard that the Queen Mother loves the King of Yizhou very much?"
"The Prince of Yizhou is the Queen Mother's youngest son, so naturally, she loves him even more."
That's it, she was born to offend the Queen Mother, and this was something that she couldn't change.
Manbao sighed, his face full of worry.
Doctor Zheng was puzzled and didn't understand why she was so worried. But when he saw that she was still young, he softened his heart a little and wondered if she was scared.
Then he comforted her, "Don't be afraid. The Empress is a kind person. As long as you don't get into trouble, it's okay even if you speak rudely to the Emperor and the Crown Prince."
Manbao doesn't worry about that.
Although the prince had a hot temper and was always ready to chop people, she really didn't think he would chop her.
As for the emperor, huh, he was the one who pushed them to come to Beijing. Now Manbao suspects that even their entry into the palace may have been his doing.
Before they complained, he probably wouldn't do anything to her. Besides, she wasn't stupid, so why would she offend these people?
Manbao thinks she will not offend these people, but some people like to provoke her.
When Manbao went to the palace to see the queen the next day, the prince was also there, standing outside the palace waiting.
Seeing the eunuch leading Manbao over, he waved his hand, and the eunuch happily led Manbao over.
Manbao walked over and saluted the prince.
The prince glanced at the shopkeeper Xiao Zheng who was carrying the medicine box behind her. The shopkeeper Xiao Zheng glanced at Manbao, and then silently retreated to the side with the eunuch.
The prince then looked at Manbao and said, "I know you don't like to lie, so let's get straight to the point. Can you cure my mother's illness?"
Manbao said: "Didn't I say yesterday that I can't cure it now?"
The prince stared at her and asked, "How far can you go in curing it?"
Manbao was silent, feeling tormented. He had just said last night that he had to be cautious and not offend anyone.
The prince said expressionlessly, "Tell me, I won't settle the score with you, nor will I tell anyone else."
Manbao coughed lightly and said, "The Queen is overthinking."
When the prince saw that she didn't continue, he frowned and said, "I know."
Manbao then said, "The Queen is still suffering from liver qi depression."
"I know this too," the prince asked. "And then?"
"If the Queen can't be happy and becomes even more worried, no matter how good the medicine we prescribe is, it can only last for one or two years."
The prince's face instantly darkened terribly. Manbao jumped back and pointed at him, saying, "You said it before. I told you the truth and you can't cause me any more trouble."
The prince stared at her, then turned and left.
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and waved to Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng.
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng immediately ran over with the medicine box in his arms. Man Bao said, "Hurry, hurry, let's go in and find the Queen."
The Queen also knew about the Crown Prince's visit to Manbao, and asked her with a smile, "What did the Crown Prince say to you? Did he cause you any trouble?"
Manbao smiled and shook his head, "No, he just asked about the Madam's condition and asked me to treat her well."
The queen didn't know whether she believed it or not, but she smiled happily.
This time, Manbao changed a few acupuncture techniques. It was nap time, and she fell asleep halfway through the acupuncture.
Aunt Shang watched from the side and couldn't help but curl her lips. She said to Manbao, "The Queen's cough was not as severe as before last night. She slept a few more minutes."
Manbao took note and said, "That means the acupuncture method and the medicine were not wrong."
This time the acupuncture was still completed in two sessions. Manbao was always paying attention to the time. Unlike them who could only use an hourglass or clepsydra to calculate the time, Manbao directly looked at the time in the system, so he was better at managing time than them.
She pulled out all the needles, and the queen just moved her head but didn't wake up.
Manbao pressed her acupoints as usual, letting her feel a slight pain before turning over and lying down.
Manbao left the tent, collected her things, and was about to leave when Aunt Shang quickly stopped her and said, "Doctor Zhou, please stay. I have something to say to you when the queen wakes up."
Manbao looked at the time. In half an hour, the Imperial College would be closed, and she still had to go and give Yin Huo acupuncture.
However, thinking that the opportunity here was rare, Manbao hesitated for a moment and then sat down to wait.
Aunt Shang saw that she seemed a little restless, so she poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Doctor Zhou, our queen is just talking to you about some family matters, don't worry."
Manbao nodded, drank a cup of tea, pointed to a chair nearby and said, "Sister, please sit down too."
Aunt Shang was happy, "You call me sister? You should call me aunt or aunt."
Manbao scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "But you look about the same age as my sisters and sisters-in-law. I'm afraid I'm calling you old."
Aunt Shang didn't sit down. She had no right to sit in this room. She stood and whispered to Manbao, "Are you the youngest in the family?"
Man Baoying is it.
"What's your ranking?"
"eight."
Aunt Shang laughed and said, "No wonder. If there were a few longer intervals between births, your mother would have been quite old. Your family is truly blessed to have so many children."
Manbao nodded in agreement and asked Aunt Shang, "Where are you from, sister? Do you have many brothers?"
Aunt Shang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm from Taiyuan. I only have one brother, but five sisters."
"My sister has a lot of family members."
Aunt Shang smiled gently, but she was not very blessed.
Aunt Shang asked Manbao curiously, "Who did Doctor Zhou learn his medical skills from? They are so good."
Manbao said embarrassedly, "Actually, he's not as good as the rumors say. I've studied medicine with many people, but among the imperial physicians, only Doctor Fan is still the best. Do you know Doctor Fan?"
Aunt Shang smiled and nodded. "I know. I had been in the palace for several years when Doctor Fan left. I didn't expect that you were Doctor Fan's disciple."
No wonder he dared to open Su Jian’s stomach. Doctor Fan is the best at treating external injuries.
The two of them were chatting quietly. Aunt Shang was going to see the Queen. Seeing that she was really bored, she took a book that the Queen had left on the couch and gave it to her. She smiled and said, "You can read the book to kill time first. I will go and serve the Queen."
Manbao nodded, lowered his head to look, and saw that it was a book called "Clan Records", so he opened it curiously.
She had heard of the clan history from different people. Her husband had mentioned it, and County Magistrates Tang and Yang seemed to have mentioned it as well, but this was the first time Manbao had actually seen it.
She opened it curiously.
See you tomorrow
