Chapter 1305: Clearing Up Doubts
What should I do if I don’t understand?
The four of them all kept their doubts in their hearts. One decided to go back and ask his father, and the other three decided to go back and ask their husbands.
Of course, Yin Huo would not reveal the whole story to his father. He simply asked directly when he went to pay his respects to his father, "Father, what is the difference between the Queen and the Crown Prince?"
The question was incoherent and ambiguous, but Yin Li immediately understood what he wanted to ask. He looked up at his son, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty is the Queen Mother and is devoted to the public. She is almost the same as Your Majesty. The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince."
Yin Huo understood, and he was a little confused, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of your relatives?"
Yin Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a relative by marriage only if you have selfish motives."
But the queen did not. She was obviously always sober. The best thing was that the emperor had a good relationship with her and trusted her, so they could be one as husband and wife.
Husband and wife can be one, but father and son may not necessarily be of the same mind. The conflict between the emperor and the crown prince was relatively good in the past few years. Although there were occasional arguments, the emperor generally admired the crown prince; the crown prince also admired the emperor...
However, over the past few years, the conflict between father and son has become increasingly acute. As the Third Prince grows older, the Emperor becomes more and more fond of him, while the Crown Prince's temper becomes increasingly violent, and his relationship with not only the Emperor but also the court officials becomes increasingly worse...
As a close minister of the emperor, even if Yin Li was a loyal minister, it was impossible for him to not be worried, especially since he was in such an important position as Jingzhao Yin.
He is in charge of the security of the capital. This dynasty has only been two generations, so he knows how the current emperor ascended the throne...
Yin Huo's question clearly aroused his worries. He sighed, rubbed his forehead, and asked, "Why do you think of asking such a thing?"
Yin Huo shook his head and did not tell him what Yang Heshu and the others said.
Yin Li didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "Don't get involved in this kind of thing. Just study hard at school."
Yin may agree.
Yin Li also explained to Yin Huo, but Mr. Zhuang didn't even explain. When the three children asked for advice, he told Manbao directly, "Just remember that you are just a doctor. The queen is your patient, and the prince is also your patient."
He made a circle with his hand in front of them and said, "The women of the powerful and aristocratic families in the capital are all your patients. You will see them and they will pay. Just don't have any personal relationships for the next few years."
Mr. Zhuang paused and said, "On this basis, people should be kind to each other. As for the rest, let fate take its course."
After hearing what Mr. Zhuang said, Manbao decided to listen to him and let everything go with the flow.
But when I think about it carefully, she seems to have always let everything go with the flow.
Bai Shan did not ask any more questions, but kept the question in his mind. He would think about it occasionally when he was free, but he didn't know when he would be able to figure out the answer.
However, the three of them were indeed more cautious when doing things outside. Even when Manbao came to the palace to teach Doctor Liu and the others how to test needles, he was kinder to the eunuchs and palace maids who served as test subjects. Occasionally, he would put some necessary medicinal materials in the medicine box and give them to people in urgent need.
For example, the fellow townsman of Eunuch Wu's apprentice, a eunuch named Chen, was in a more miserable situation. Before he came, the booklet said that he had fallen down, but when Manbao reached out and touched him, he found that he had a high fever all over his body, obviously he had caught a cold, and his face was pale.
He said that his legs were disabled after a fall, and he didn't dare to ask for leave, so he went out to clean in the cold. As a result, the injuries on his waist and legs had not healed yet, and he caught a cold.
If he can't be cured, he will be thrown into the quarantine center to die.
Manbao felt sorry for him, so he took out two prescriptions from the medicine box and gave them to him, and gave him an acupuncture to reduce his fever.
There are many eunuchs and palace maids like him who have to take medicine but cannot get it. Manbao can only choose the most important one or two to help, and the rest have to find a way on their own.
But they are all very open-minded and feel that being able to give acupuncture is much better than before.
As long as Manbao entered the palace, Eunuch Wu would lead the way to take her to the side courtyard and would also be the first person to take her pulse.
Not to mention, after ten days, his complexion had improved considerably, and even his back had less bent. Seeing this, the prince smiled slightly and said to him, "It seems acupuncture really does have benefits. You can reap so many benefits just by doing acupuncture without taking any medicine."
Eunuch Wu immediately bowed and praised the kindness of the prince and the queen.
The Crown Prince said, "We only have so many people in the Eastern Palace. How can we have enough people to test acupuncture for them? Since they won't hurt anyone, and if we can really train Doctor Liu and Doctor Xiao in acupuncture, then we should select some palace maids from other palaces. Doctor Zhou will be coming to the palace every day anyway."
Eunuch Wu paused and responded in a low voice.
Of course, the Crown Prince disdained to do it secretly. When he went to visit the Empress in the evening, he happened to run into the Emperor there and casually mentioned it, "I heard Doctor Zhou mention that doctors outside are slow to learn medicine because there are no patients willing to treat novices. Some doctors who specialize in acupuncture need to study for four or five years before they can get started. But now, Doctor Liu and her friends have only been studying for a while and they can already find the right acupuncture points and do it themselves."
"Mother, don't you want to train more female doctors? Why not use more palace maids? They won't hurt anyone anyway, and they can also benefit. It's a win-win situation."
This was said to the Queen, but it was also said for the Emperor to hear.
The Queen glanced at her son and nodded, saying, "I'll have someone arrange it later. Since the treatment center is in the Eastern Palace, let's keep it there for now. There's no need to move. It will also be convenient for Doctor Zhou to come into the palace and give you acupuncture."
The emperor didn't take this trivial matter seriously. He just looked at the queen with amusement and said, "It's been more than ten days. Is your female imperial hospital still running?"
The Queen couldn't glare at him in front of her son, so she just said, "Your Majesty, please prepare the silver."
The emperor waved his hand generously and said, "Don't worry, the harvest at the imperial farm is good this year, and my private treasury is full."
The main reason was that he did not marry off his daughter this year, nor did his son get married, and he did not build another palace. Although he spent some money on the Queen Mother's birthday celebration, he also took in some money when the Yizhou Palace was confiscated. So the two offset each other, and he still had quite a lot of money in his private treasury.
The emperor thought he had a lot of money. Less than twenty days later, Bai Shan and his colleagues finally wrote out their plan for the Imperial Medical Bureau. Because Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had to take an exam, Manbao was responsible for copying it.
She specially made a thick notebook to copy, which was as long as two desks when pulled out.
After they finished writing, they gave it to Mr. Zhuang to read. Mr. Zhuang spent three days and finally finished reading it before going to bed. He then praised them and turned around twice in excitement.
But he still calmed down and decided to tell them in detail tomorrow. There was no other way. He had been staying up late for the past three days and his eyes were almost closed. It was getting late now. The three children waiting by the side had their heads slightly tilted, and they only woke up because of his excited praise.
So he suppressed his words and said softly to the three of them, "Alright, I've finished reading everything. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow. You just finished the exam and must be very tired. Go and rest first."
See you at 11pm
