Chapter 1418 Discovery (December Monthly Ticket Plus 5)
Manbao leaned over to take a look and saw that it was a green jade hairpin, the whole body of which was shiny and lustrous, with one strand being thicker, obviously the style used by men.
She was slightly stunned and quickly thanked him.
The Crown Princess closed the box and put it aside, planning to put it back in her pocket when Manbao left.
The Crown Princess had indeed just found out that Zhou Man and Bai Shan were engaged, but the Crown Prince had known about it a long time ago and was just pretending not to know.
He was intentionally trying to reduce his involvement with Zhou Man. Years ago, he wanted to announce to the whole world that Zhou Man was from the Eastern Palace.
She was picked up and dropped off by people from the Eastern Palace when she went in and out. Not only was she rewarded every time she entered the palace, but when the Crown Princess saw some beautiful flowers or plants, she would ask someone to send her a pot of them.
His honor and favor are obvious.
But this time, even this pair of green jade hairpins were given privately. In fact, if the Crown Princess hadn't mentioned it, the Crown Prince would not have been willing to give them.
The people outside were watching and had some guesses in their hearts. They thought that the prince had ruined his foundation because of drunkenness and was taking his anger out on Zhou Man because of the issue of succession.
Especially now that Zhou Man goes to the palace once every other day. You should know that before the New Year, she had been treating the prince for half a month before going to the palace to give him acupuncture once.
It can be seen that the prince’s condition is really not good.
Therefore, the dignitaries who had originally wanted to invite her to see patients when Zhou Man returned to Beijing stopped their actions and instead invited other doctors.
Forget it, it’s not a life-threatening illness anyway. It’s the same if I ask another doctor. It’s better not to get too involved with Zhou Man.
Therefore, after Manbao's sitting time was reduced, his number of medical consultations was halved.
Oh, yes, she still has two regular patients, one is Xiang Mingxue and the other is Yin Huo.
Unfortunately, neither of them paid her the medical fee.
After Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu passed the exam and were officially enrolled in Class D of Songhe Academy, Manbao had even more free time. He began to devote himself to treating the prince and teaching a few students.
In the last ten days, Mr. Zhuang systematically reviewed with the two of them, while Bai Shan found the old papers of Songhe Academy and studied them, and gave them some predicted questions. But even so, they still entered Class D with a low score.
Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu were both stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. They were so smart and capable, yet they only got into Class D?
Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Man Bao privately, "Finally, they got in. Now they know that there are always people who can outperform them, right?"
Manbao was leaning over the desk at the time, and without even looking up, he said, "I'm sure I know."
Bai Shan came over to see her, and seeing that she had memorized quite a few names, he asked, "Why did you memorize these names?"
Manbao looked around and saw that the master and the others were in the yard, so he whispered, "These are all people the prince has met in the past few days."
Manbao has been paying points to let Koko keep an eye on the prince. During this period, the prince has met many people.
Although they didn't talk about anything secret, Manbao always felt a little uneasy, so he wrote down these names and showed them to Bai Shan.
Bai Shan looked around and found some of the names familiar to him, as he had heard people mention them at school, but some of the names were unfamiliar to him.
He couldn't be sure for a moment whether these people were simply loyal to the prince or had some other plans with the prince.
He asked quietly, "Did Uncle Zhou say that the Crown Prince has made any unusual moves recently?"
Manbao shook her head. She no longer went to the teaching room to attend classes before going to bed. She just stared at the video of the prince. Although it was fast-forwarded, she could ensure that the prince did not make any unusual movements.
Bai Shan said, "This is a good thing. Even if it's something like that, it won't be arranged overnight. You can take advantage of this time to treat his illness. As long as he has a child, it will be fine."
By then, no matter whether he still has any ulterior motives or not, they can find an excuse to leave the palace or even leave the capital.
Manbao nodded.
Everything was as usual. Manbao went to Jishiditang every morning, but he spent less time sitting in the hall and more time teaching his four apprentices.
Especially Zheng Gu, she finally knew what was wrong with Zheng Gu.
Zheng Gu’s problem is that he memorizes medical notes too well.
Of course, Manager Zheng and his colleagues did not think so. They felt that Zheng Gu was too pedantic and lacked some inspiration when prescribing medicine.
At that time, Manbao took him to the clinic and watched him take his pulse and prescribe medicine.
The pulse diagnosis is flawless, and most of the symptoms are diagnosed correctly. Even if there are some discrepancies, they are only minor details, and the general direction is always correct.
The prescription was fine and basically suitable for the condition, but Manbao did not use his prescription. Instead, he prescribed a new one for the patient. At this time, Manbao had not discovered his problem, so he praised him greatly.
Because his foundation was really good, far better than that of Dr. Liu, she felt that he was fully capable of sitting in the clinic and prescribing medicine.
When she praised him, the curtain of their clinic was hung, and Dr. Gu was standing at the door holding a cup of tea and smiling. Not only Dr. Gu, but also Dr. Ding and Dr. Tao came to watch the fun, and they all laughed at the two of them.
Not to mention the person involved, Zheng Gu, even Manbao was worried, fearing that he had done something wrong. He brought the patient back and examined him again, and only let him go after confirming that there was nothing wrong.
Zheng Gu was a little nervous and even had sweat on his forehead in such a cold day. But after seeing three patients in a row and Manbao saying that he was a good doctor, he slowly gained confidence.
Manbao also gradually forgot what Doctor Ding and the others had said.
He discovered something was wrong during lunch. Manbao didn't have to go to the palace that day, so he took out all the cases from the morning and went through them, and then taught Doctor Liu, who had already started learning how to take a pulse.
As she watched, she realized something was wrong.
It was obvious that Zheng Gu's diagnosis was correct and her prescription was correct, but when she sorted out the prescriptions, she found that none of them were the same. Most importantly, all the prescriptions given to the patients were written by her.
The prescription Zheng Gu wrote was correct, but there was always something missing, so she wrote a new prescription for the patient.
Manbao arranged all the prescriptions in rows of two, and was dumbfounded when he compared them.
Doctor Ding, who was taking a break with tea, couldn't help but burst into laughter. Tears welled up in his eyes as he asked her, "Have you figured out the problem?"
Manbao was very depressed. She took the prescription and didn't want them to see her teaching her apprentice, so she pulled Zheng Gu to the clinic in the front lobby to teach him.
Manbao spread the prescription on the table, looked at Zheng Gu, and asked, "Do you see the problem?"
Zheng Gu looked at it and shook his head. "Master, didn't you say that the prescription I prescribed was correct?"
"That's right, where did you get this recipe?" Manbao asked, pointing to a recipe.
"A recipe left by our ancestors."
Manbao pointed to another prescription and said, "Don't you know the prescription derived from the Treatise on Febrile Diseases?"
Manbao sighed and asked, "Do you remember what the patients for these two prescriptions were like?"
"Of course I remember. How could I forget in just a short while?"
Manbao sighed and said, "The prescriptions you prescribe are all correct, but none of them are perfect. This time, the patient is poor. Ginseng is expensive and they all have qi deficiency, but yam can be used instead, but you still use ginseng."
