Chapter 1487 Thunderbolt
She smiled and said, "The side hall where you received medical treatment before is now open to you. In addition, His Highness has had a set of medicine cabinets set up there. When the time comes, we will purchase some commonly used medicines and put them in there. The money will be paid from the East Palace's account."
The Crown Princess paused and said, "As you know, there are many restrictions in the palace. Some medicines cannot be brought into the harem, so..."
Manbao knew that this was to prevent palace servants from harming others after taking the medicine. Even if there were records of the medicine coming in and out, it would be difficult to trace if many people used the medicine.
In the palace, unless the master was ill, the other palace servants, whether maids or eunuchs, had to endure the hardship. If they became seriously ill, they would be sent to the epidemic prevention station. If they couldn't make it, they would be buried. If they made it, they would be transferred back...
Therefore, any toxic medicines are not allowed to enter the medicine cabinet in this side hall. But even so, it is a great merit for the palace people who can only rely on enduring the disease to cure it.
For Manbao, this is also a great convenience for teaching apprentices. Although the medicines are limited, at least they can learn to prescribe medicine when they enter the palace to learn acupuncture.
Moreover, due to the restrictions, the flexibility required for prescribing prescriptions is also higher.
Especially suitable for training Zheng Gu.
Zheng Gu didn't know that his master had found a good way to exercise and prescribe medicine for him while he was working in Jishiditang.
His master had a day off, but he didn't. Not only him, but Doctor Liu and the others didn't either.
Before they finish their studies, they have to work when they should work, memorize medical books when they should memorize medical books, and memorize medicinal herbs when they should memorize medicinal herbs.
San Ya accidentally remembered a few herbs incorrectly again, and was now holding her head and staring at the herbs in front of her that she always remembered incorrectly.
Accompanied by Eunuch Wu, Manbao once again visited the side hall used for medical teaching, paying special attention to the medicine cabinet that had just been moved in.
Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "The small bed in here hasn't been dismantled yet. The medicine cabinet has just been moved in. After cleaning and drying it, we can put it in when we get the herbs back."
Manbao asked curiously, "Who did you ask for the prescription?"
After all, many medicines cannot be put in.
Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "Your Highness asked the Imperial Hospital to prepare a prescription. When Dean Xiao heard that the Crown Prince wanted to give it to Doctor Zhou for teaching, he immediately drew out a prescription and said that these medicines would be enough."
Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the list has been reviewed by the Imperial Hospital. They say the medicines are not toxic. Unless you force them down like cattle, there's nothing harmful to the body."
Manbao opened the prescription and took a look. He saw that the first ones listed were various beans, including soybeans, red beans, mung beans, white beans, broad beans, lentils, etc.
She paused and thought to herself, this is indeed not poisonous, and it will not kill people no matter what, unless you stuff more than ten pounds of it into your mouth at once. But it won't be poisonous, most likely death from gluttony.
The remaining medicinal materials were some very common herbs such as licorice, bupleurum, and polygonatum. She read from beginning to end and found that even things like Polygonum multiflorum were not included because they are slightly toxic.
Manbao handed the prescription to Eunuch Wu and nodded, "Okay, then, let's do it according to this."
Before entering the palace, her husband told her to give as few suggestions as possible in the palace, especially when it came to imported items being sent to the palace, as mistakes could easily occur.
Keep your hands off unless necessary.
Eunuch Wu received the prescription and respectfully and happily sent Manbao out of the palace.
She said she would take Doctor Liu and the others into the palace to practice acupuncture, and sure enough, she brought them into the palace after noon on the third day.
This was the most appropriate time she and Eunuch Wu had agreed upon.
Jishidiang was quite busy in the morning, which was also the busiest time in the palace. The palace servants, who were the main workers, certainly had no time to give them acupuncture, so the acupuncture was scheduled for noon.
Manbao brought them into the palace ahead of time. San Ya hadn't gotten home yet, so she could only stand at the door of the medicine shop and watch them go away, her eyes full of reluctance.
In addition to Doctor Liu, Doctor Xiao was also waiting for them in the palace.
Whether it was Doctor Liu, Doctor Xiao, Zheng Gu, or Zheng Shao, they all memorized the acupuncture point maps, but it was still a little difficult to find these acupuncture points accurately.
What Manbao needs to do is to help them find every acupuncture point through practice, and also to know which acupuncture point is suitable for which disease and how to insert the needle...
Manbao usually taught everyone in the side hall. After she had taught all twenty palace maids, she would wash her hands and go to the back to see the Crown Princess, while her three disciples and Doctor Xiao would stay behind to finish the lesson.
The Crown Princess did not suffer from morning sickness, but was just sleepy. Therefore, when she went over, she was just awake. Manbao felt her pulse, talked to her, and then said goodbye and left.
The time is very short, just checking the pulse. Forget about prescriptions and acupuncture, sometimes even medical advice is not needed.
It was only a quarter of an hour, but the Crown Princess felt relieved and even slept more soundly at night. Then her belly began to settle down and grew a little bit bigger every day.
The prince was very happy to see this every day. Sometimes when he came back and met Manbao there, he would lie on the princess's belly and listen without any care. Manbao was very sure that he must not hear any movement. After all, the baby was not yet four months old. It would be bad if he heard any movement.
But the prince and his wife obviously didn't care about this and were having a lot of fun.
Manbao always tactfully tried to retreat when she saw this happening, but the Crown Prince suddenly stopped her and said, "The Emperor has agreed to expand the number of students at the Chongwen Academy to thirty. I've added Bai Shan's name to the list, and I'm also responsible for the reorganization of the Imperial Medical Bureau. When you return, make sure you prepare to move into the palace."
Man Bao stared, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. "I, I want to live in the palace? No, Bai Shan went to Chongwenguan to study, why should I go to the palace too?"
The prince emphasized: "To compile a medical book!"
He glanced at her and said, "Didn't you petition to build medical offices in every prefecture? Since we need to teach students, we naturally need teaching materials. The medical books in the Imperial Hospital are very diverse. A few days ago, they were arguing fiercely just about what to teach the students. I remember you gave Doctor Liu a medical manual you wrote. If so, then you should write your own. Once the medical manual is completed, you can recruit students for teaching."
He said, "The Imperial Medical Bureau is one of the important things that the Eastern Palace needs to do next. Therefore, you can discuss the compilation with the students in the Chongwen Academy and ask them to help you."
Manbao was stunned by the news and it took him a while to come back to his senses. "This matter, this matter... Does that mean I can't go to Jishiditang for treatment anymore?"
The prince glanced at her and said, "Isn't it enough for you to practice with so many people in the palace?"
But this disease is too rare.
Manbao was secretly complaining, but she was still a little shocked, so she didn't dare to confront him. After a long pause, she asked, "Do you only rely on me for the compilation?"
"No, Xiao Yuanzheng of the Imperial Hospital is the chief editor. You have to listen to him," the prince said. "You should discuss this medical book with the other doctors. Didn't you say there are few books out there? You can read whatever you want in the Chongwenguan."
Manbao immediately perked up, "Really?"
See you at 8pm
