Chapter 1557 Getting Better
Watching Minister Li and the others being escorted out of the palace by the eunuchs overnight, Wei Zhi turned his head to look at Duke Zhao and said, "Duke Zhao, please come in."
"Master Wei, please."
The two of them returned to the main hall together, and this time they entered the inner hall to guard it.
The queen had been on guard for a whole day and was not feeling well, so the prince had her taken down to rest.
At this time, only the crown prince was guarding the inner hall. Even the two princesses Mingda and Changyu and the little princes including the fifth prince were sent away by him.
When we entered the inner hall, we saw him sleeping on the bed, and no one dared to disturb him.
Wei Zhi and Duke Zhao glanced at the emperor but did not wake him up. They turned to look at Xiao Yuanzheng and Doctor Lu who were standing guard with their eyes closed. Knowing that they were also very tired, they quietly found a place to sit down.
The emperor was sleeping well at this time. He had been sleeping since the evening when he applied the ointment and had an acupuncture treatment, around the hour of You, and still showed no signs of waking up.
Gu Zhong carefully touched the emperor's forehead and didn't feel it was very hot, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Your Majesty felt very uncomfortable this afternoon. He had a constant fever and felt that even the air he breathed was hot. His whole face was red.
Gu Zhong was very anxious watching this.
Compared with others, he is the one whose life and death, honor and disgrace all depend on the emperor.
To ensure that the emperor's condition did not worsen, Gu Zhong cautiously took a few steps back and nodded to Wei Zhizhao, Xiao Yuanzheng and others who were looking at him.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief and continued to rest with their eyes closed.
Manbao slept through the night and was woken by Doctor Lu, whose eyes were red. Doctor Lu said, "Your Majesty is awake and eating. His condition has improved. Dean Xiao was about to change the medicine and asked you to perform the acupuncture."
Manbao stared at Doctor Lu's eyes with a confused look on his face and asked, "Doctor Lu, staying up late is very harmful to your kidneys and liver."
Doctor Lu: "...I was just on duty."
He spoke as if he really liked staying up late. He had barely slept a wink for almost a whole day and night.
Manbao finally woke up, but he couldn't help yawning. He climbed up from the couch and put on his shoes while muttering, "I'm still young. How can I grow taller like this?"
Doctor Lu looked at Zhou Man, who was younger than his daughter in both age and height, and felt depressed and speechless.
After all, he was young and didn't pay much attention to his image. Manbao's hair was messy, so he simply tied it up and followed Doctor Lu to the main hall.
This is very impolite in the palace, but no one cares about it with Manbao at the moment.
Besides, since she is favored, even if she cares about things, who would punish her?
Manbao took a sip of water and then went forward to see the emperor.
The emperor woke up because he was hungry, and maybe he had slept enough, so he woke up naturally.
He was eating porridge at this time, a very soft white porridge. Manbao couldn't help swallowing when he saw it.
The emperor, who had difficulty swallowing and could only eat plain porridge, was feeling bland. When he looked up at Zhou Man and saw her swallowing, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. He turned to Gu Zhong and asked, "Did you miss out on food for her?"
The emperor spoke slowly at this time, but at least he could speak.
Gu Zhong glanced at Zhou Man and quickly bowed, saying, "I'll have the imperial kitchen send some midnight snacks to the doctors."
The emperor did not object. He took two more bites, but put it down when he couldn't eat any more.
He still had a low fever, but he wasn't feeling as bad anymore. He sweated all over, and his temperature went down. His throat wasn't as painful anymore.
Although it still hurts when I swallow my saliva, it is not as severe as it was at noon and in the afternoon where I could hardly swallow.
But eating still hurts.
The emperor put down the bowl and reached out to feel Manbao's pulse.
Man Bao glanced at Xiao Yuanzheng beside him and felt the emperor's pulse. After a moment, he looked at the emperor's throat and said, "Continue to apply the medicine patch."
The plaster had taken effect, and the pus and swelling in the emperor's throat had subsided a lot.
Manbao and Xiao Yuanzheng put the medicine patch on him again, and when the medicinal properties began to dissipate, Manbao gave him acupuncture and administered medicine.
The emperor didn't want to sleep this time, mainly because he had slept a lot before, so he watched Zhou Man holding the thin and long needle and inserting it into his neck and head. To be honest, he was still a little scared.
But the strange thing is that it didn't feel particularly big when it was inserted.
But not long after, I felt a coolness slowly seeping into my neck, and swallowing felt a little smoother.
Everyone watched the emperor get acupuncture, and when the acupuncture was finished, everyone stared at the emperor.
Except for the emperor, everyone present was extremely sleepy. The prince was almost falling asleep while hugging the bedpost while sitting on the edge of the bed.
The emperor really wanted to find someone to chat with, even if it was just about state affairs, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat was still uncomfortable, so he closed his mouth.
Wei Zhi was also very sleepy at this moment. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be getting better and there was nothing too critical at the moment, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please rest. I will wait outside."
Duke Zhao was also sleepy, so he bowed and went out to the outer hall to continue sleeping on the chair.
The emperor sighed sadly, looked at the prince, and said to the prince who could hardly open his eyes: "Let the prince go to sleep on the couch."
Gu Zhong hurriedly helped the prince to sleep. The emperor looked up at Zhou Man and saw Manbao quietly turning his back and yawning.
emperor:……
He waved his hand and asked the imperial doctors to leave.
But it was impossible for all the imperial physicians to leave. At this time, it was the turn of Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Fang to be on duty. Manbao followed Dean Xiao and Imperial Physician Lu back to the side hall.
Dean Xiao and Doctor Lu went to find a place to rest. Manbao saw that the wooden couch he had been lying on was still there, so he walked over and lay down to continue sleeping.
The emperor walked around the main hall out of boredom. Finally, seeing that the palace maids and eunuchs all looked sleepy, he stopped bothering.
He waved his hand and lay back on the bed, covering the patch on his neck. He thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but he fell asleep in a short while.
When I woke up again, it was daylight.
The emperor opened his eyes and swallowed subconsciously. After a while, he came to his senses and realized that the pain was not so severe anymore.
The emperor's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately got up from the bed and shouted, "Gu Zhong, go find Xiao Yuanzheng and Zhou Man."
Imperial Physicians Liu and Fang, who were dozing in the corner, woke up immediately, wiped their faces, and walked past Gu Zhong to examine the emperor.
After a thorough examination, the two men discovered that the pus in the emperor's throat had diminished considerably. It was still yellow and red and swollen, but it was much better than before.
So this patch is really useful.
Doctor Liu and Doctor Fang looked at each other, and then changed the decoction for the emperor. This decoction was much milder. The medicine they prescribed yesterday was a bit heavy in order to eliminate inflammation and reduce fever.
After changing the medicine, Doctor Fang went to boil the herbs while Doctor Liu went to see Xiao Yuanzheng and Doctor Lu, explaining the emperor's condition. He said, "This plaster is much more effective than we thought."
