Chapter 1146: Heavenly Prison
Manbao and the others were led to the Sky Prison. She glanced at the person lying on the wooden board and said to Minister Feng, "Master Feng, can you lock us up together?"
Minister Feng frowned slightly. Although things were not very strict in the Heavenly Prison, men and women were still separated.
Manbao said, "I'm a doctor. I want to treat him. Or would you like to ask a doctor to treat his injuries?"
Minister Feng lowered his head to look at Xiang Chao who was unconscious on the wooden board. He was naturally willing to call a doctor for him, and he could do so now, but after the palace reacted, it might be difficult to call a doctor for him again.
So Minister Feng rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll arrange a bigger room for you."
Sure enough, we found a relatively large and dry room for them to stay in.
As soon as they entered, Minister Feng asked, "Do you need me to prepare any medicinal herbs for you?"
Manbao then said, "Master Feng, please give us some paper and pen. I have written a prescription for you. You can send someone to the Bai family in Changqing Lane to have them prepare the herbs and then send my medicine box back."
Minister Feng looked at Manbao deeply and nodded, "No problem."
Ask someone to bring pen and ink.
Manbao wrote a full piece of paper and gave it to Shangshu Feng. Shangshu Feng glanced at it, smiled and agreed, told them to have a good rest, took the prescription and turned to leave.
After he left, he called over his confidants who had been urgently recalled and said, "Send people from the Ministry of Justice. The inner cell block will be guarded by our people layer by layer. No one is allowed to enter except His Majesty and the officials in charge of the three provinces who come with stamped documents."
"yes."
Minister Feng glanced at the prescription in his hand and sighed, "The storm is about to come, how can there be peace?"
He handed the prescription to one of his men and said, "Send it to the Bai family in Changqing Lane. Have them prepare the herbs and bring them back immediately to Doctor Zhou. Oh, and also prepare the medicine pots and firewood for them so they can make the medicine themselves. Stay out of this kind of life-threatening work."
The men breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
As soon as the person left, Manbao squatted down to look at the person on the board and carefully nudged him, "Are you still awake?"
Bai Shanze looked at Manbao's face and asked, "How are you? Does it hurt?"
Manbao didn't take it to heart and shook his head. Seeing that the man on the board didn't respond, he said to Bai Shan, "He fainted."
Bai Shan looked at the wounds on his back, swallowed his saliva, and said with some fear: "The stick hit my waist, back and buttocks. I'm afraid the bones and internal organs are injured."
Manbao nodded.
He reached out to feel his pulse, and after a while he looked around. He saw that there were only three of them in the cell as far as he could see, and there was not a single yamen runner.
So he reached into his sleeve and took out a pair of scissors.
Bai Shan: ...
Everyone entering the palace has to be checked, and no sharp weapons can be brought into the palace. Isn't this disguise too careless?
But why can Uncle Zhou conjure up a pair of scissors?
Bai Shan couldn't figure out this problem, and wanted to ask Manbao, but he looked down at Xiang Chao and gave up the idea.
Forget it, there is a third person here. Let’s wait until they are alone to ask. Otherwise, what if he can still hear what is said while he is unconscious and he overhears it?
Manbao was already cutting his clothes with scissors, and Baishan hurried to help. The two chatted while working.
Manbao recounted everything that had happened in the garden, and whispered his own speculation, "Bai Eryi said his jade pendant was taken away. I felt bad. I'm afraid you'll start trouble early because of us."
Bai Shan also whispered, "I figured it out. He planned it. Since he wants us to make trouble today, then we must make trouble today. Otherwise, going against his wishes will do us no good."
The two men cut off all of Xiang Chao's clothes, and then looked at his back and lower back, where there was almost no good flesh, for a long time without being able to speak.
Manbao felt around and carefully felt the bones, but when he didn't feel anything, he frowned and said, "This won't work. We have to keep him awake."
She fumbled in her sleeve and took out a bottle of medicine. After thinking for a while, she poured out two pills and motioned Bai Shan to help her lift his head up and feed him the pills. The pills were very big. After the two of them stuffed them in, they found that he couldn't swallow them at all, and they couldn't help but get anxious.
Bai Shan shouted outside, "Hey, is anyone there? Officer?"
The Minister of Justice, who had just dispatched the best personnel, came in and asked with a frown, "What are you calling for?"
Bai Shan: "Is there any hot water? Give us a bowl of hot water."
Seeing them holding the head of the person lying on the ground, the Minister of Justice frowned and said, "Wait."
After saying that, he turned and went out. After a while, a servant came in with a bowl of water.
Bai Shan took it, and the two men threw the two pills into the water. Seeing that it dissolved slowly, Bai Shan became anxious and put his thumb in to crush it.
Manbao: ...
Bai Shan wiped his hands on Xiang Chao's body without caring, and said to Man Bao: "Feed him quickly, it's more important to take medicine now."
Manbao felt that what he said made sense, so he didn't care about it anymore. The two of them worked together to force the medicine into his mouth.
Xiang Chao was not completely unconscious. He was still somewhat conscious, so swallowing was not difficult for him.
Manbao put him down, then groped in his sleeve and took out a needle bag.
Bai Shan felt that no matter what she took out of her sleeve at this moment, he would not be surprised. Fortunately, there were only the two of them at the moment, and the people outside probably wanted to avoid suspicion and would not easily come in to see them.
Obviously, many people saw the consequences of their actions at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet as uncertain, so no one wanted to get involved at this time.
Manbao gave him acupuncture with a needle to stop the internal bleeding first. For external injuries, he could use medicinal powder. Keke had both Jishidiang's hemostatic powder and hemostatic ointment.
But she was still a little dissatisfied. She sighed and said, "It's just inconvenient in prison. The medicine takes too long to take. Pills are not as good as freshly boiled medicine."
Bai Shan said: "Just be content. After all, we are locked up together. You can still hide so many things in your sleeves."
He calculated the time in his mind and said, "By now, Shangshu Feng's people should have arrived home, right?"
The people from the Ministry of Justice arrived at Changqing Lane a little faster than Bai Shan expected. When the people who had been waiting at home saw the people from the Ministry of Justice coming, they almost stood up immediately.
In addition to Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zhuang, there were two very unfamiliar people, one was an old man similar to Mr. Zhuang, and the other was a young man.
The two younger generations, Bai Erlang and Yin Huo, sat at the very corner with their heads down. When the people from the Ministry of Justice arrived, they also jumped up.
The person from the Ministry of Justice handed over the prescription and said, "Bai Shan, Zhou Man, and Xiang Chao are temporarily detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison. This is the prescription Zhou Man wrote. It's for Xiang Chao's injuries. Your family should take care of it and prepare it."
Bai Erlang immediately took it and passed it to Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang quickly glanced at it and handed it to Madam Liu. A relaxed smile instantly appeared on his face and he said to the person from the Ministry of Justice, "Thank you for coming here in person to deliver the prescription. Why don't we go to the front hall and prepare it first? I'll have someone go to the pharmacy and it will be ready soon."
The next update will be around 4 o'clock
