Chapter 1195 Touching the Pillar
When Manbao came to see Fu Wenyun again, he found out that Fu Wenhua had called Yue Lan out and beat her up again two days ago.
No matter what the Yue family thought in their hearts, they all said that the beating was good. Then, Old Lady Yue sent servants twice a day, either to bring soup or various supplements to Fu Wenyun.
Of course, Fu Wenyun didn't go back either, but the relationship between the two families seemed to have eased. It was just that Mrs. Fu thought that Fu Wenyun was still in confinement and shouldn't be exposed to the wind or get tired, so she stayed in Erliu Lane to recuperate.
As for the children, of course they will stay with their mother.
Although Old Lady Yue wanted to hold her grandson very much, she did not dare to compete with the Fu family under the pressure of Master Yue. She had to carry her things to visit her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every other day.
She felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life, but Lord Yue insisted for some reason. She felt guilty and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the Fu family to find trouble.
She didn't know that Lord Yue was planning to do something big.
Finally, he waited patiently for the opportunity and finally waited for the first grand court meeting in October.
He put the memorial he had written long ago into his pocket, got up before dawn and went to the palace to attend the grand court meeting.
Originally, the grand court meeting was supposed to be held on the first day of the new year, but the empress dowager fell ill, so the emperor withdrew.
But October is already winter, and it is the time when autumn tax reports from all over the country are coming in and officials and people across the country are preparing for winter. At this time, this year's financial summary, next year's financial budget, and this winter's corvee labor must be discussed in general terms.
There are also various affairs of the three provinces and six ministries, and even military affairs at the border need to be discussed. There are many complicated things, and although the grand court meeting will be held later, it must be held.
So three days later, the emperor still convened a grand court meeting.
Lord Yue had been listening silently. The ministers had been discussing various difficult issues since dawn, and they would move on to the next one after solving one. As the sun was getting higher and higher, everyone was getting hungry. Finally, most of the things were dealt with, and then someone brought up the matter of the King of Yizhou as usual to end the meeting.
Sixteen days have passed since the incident of King Yizhou, but no solution has been decided yet. They don't think that it can be resolved by bringing it up today because the Queen Mother is still ill.
So everyone thought that today would be the same as before, and the emperor would suppress it and discuss it later.
In fact, the emperor did intend to do so, but just as he said it, the censor who was at the end of the line and standing closest to the threshold suddenly swallowed and interrupted the emperor loudly.
Then he mustered up the courage to walk out, went to the center of the hall, knelt down, presented a memorial, and began to lament the drawbacks brought about by the empress dowager's participation in politics.
When he got excited, he even asked, "Does the Queen Mother want to imitate Empress Lü's hen crowing at dawn?"
The emperor slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "How dare you! How dare you criticize the Empress Dowager?"
Yue Wei's face flushed red, and his eyes seemed to be about to pop out of his head with anger. He shouted back rudely: Your Majesty, judging from the private soldiers confiscated by Yizhou, the King of Yizhou is planning to rebel. If you condone the King of Yizhou, you are disregarding the people of the world!
He shouted towards the harem: Queen Mother, even though you love your son, you cannot put all the people on fire!
Then he roared, expressing his willingness to risk his life to advise the Queen Mother. After saying that, he turned his head and ran straight to the pillar next to him...
All the ministers were stunned. Fortunately, a minister standing next to the pillar was quick-witted and reached out to pull it. His sleeve was torn by him, and he was cushioned for a moment, but still hit the pillar with a thud.
The emperor was shocked and angry. He stood up from the dragon throne and pointed at the person who hit the pillar, unable to speak.
Lord Old Tang was the first to realize that these were his men!
He rushed forward to hug the man, and saw that his forehead was bleeding and his eyes were tightly closed, obviously he had fainted. He reached out and touched him, and hurriedly said, "He's still breathing, he's still breathing!"
The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard. Seeing Gu Zhong standing there in a daze, he shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and call the imperial physician!"
If the Censor really died in this palace, how would future generations judge him? What would historians say about him?
Thinking of this, the emperor turned around and glared at the attendant who was writing furiously beside him.
The attendant felt a chill down his spine, but his recording speed did not slow down much.
Gu Zhong sent for the imperial physician, then returned to the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, is he admonishing you or the empress dowager?"
The anxious emperor suddenly calmed down and looked at the messy hall below without saying a word.
Yue Wei was seriously injured. After being rescued, he felt dizzy, nauseous and had a headache. The imperial physician said that he had a brain injury and needed to rest slowly and not move around.
So the emperor asked the palace guards to send him home to recuperate and also gave him some medicinal herbs.
Yue Wei was more reckless than County Magistrate Fu had imagined. The sleeve of his official uniform was torn, but he still suffered a concussion. If it hadn't been torn, it would be hard to say whether he would be dead or alive in the end.
After Manbao learned about this from Bai Shan, he felt very uneasy, so he took his medicine box and went to Yue's house.
Old Mrs. Yue looked four or five years older and extremely haggard. She did not kick Manbao out when she saw him coming. She had heard that Manbao was a famous young doctor in the capital. Although their master was now under the care of an imperial physician, she still let Manbao in to see him.
After seeing this, Manbao comforted her and said that as long as Lord Yue was taken good care of, he would be fine and would be able to get out of bed and walk around in ten days or half a month.
Manbao's words seemed to be more soothing than the imperial physician's. Old Lady Yue breathed a sigh of relief. This time she personally sent Manbao out and gave her a thick purse as medical fee.
She wiped her tears and said, "Little Doctor Zhou, I hope you will know that our Yue family is also a family that values kindness. When it came to Second Mother's matter, it was really the midwife who said she was dying, so I decided to keep the younger one. After all, it's better to keep one of the two children."
Manbao smiled and nodded, saying to Old Madam Yue, "I know everything. This is my first time being a mother-in-law, so I have no experience. I will talk to Second Sister Fu, but giving birth is like going through a tribulation for a woman. If anyone else in the family gets pregnant in the future, they should still see a doctor from the beginning and have monthly checkups to ensure the fetus is in the normal position so that the birth can go smoothly."
Manbao gently soothed her, "If the birth is difficult again, you can ask the doctor to come in and give you acupuncture and prescribe medicine, and discuss it with the midwife. It will be much better than having the midwife do it alone."
Old Madam Yue was confused and whispered, "How can this be possible? I've only seen one female doctor in the world, Doctor Zhou. The rest are all men."
Manbao almost couldn't hold back her smile, but she still said with a faint smile, "Old Lady Yue is overthinking. In the eyes of doctors, there's no difference between men and women, only between patients. Besides, life is always more important than face. Even if outsiders knew about this, they would only praise your family's kindness and wouldn't criticize the patient. After all, only those with dirty minds would imagine countless dirty things out of a normal matter."
Old Mrs. Yue’s face froze, and she replied with a smile, “Yes.”
Manbao turned around and went to Erliu Lane to find Fu Wenyun.
See you at 8pm
