Chapter 1559 Recognition
Xiao Yuanzheng finally experienced the difficulty of hiring a young imperial physician into the Imperial Medical Bureau, which was that she would cry.
Doctor Liu also came to his senses and quickly asked the palace maid to get water for Manbao to wash his face and tidy up his hair.
When Manbao finished washing up and reappeared, apart from a little redness in the corners of his eyes, it was basically impossible to tell that he had been crying not long ago.
After all, Manbao had just cried and there was still a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Not only was she embarrassed, but Dean Xiao and Doctor Liu were also a little embarrassed, after all, it was caused by them talking about things behind her back.
For the emperor and the empress, there were no secrets in the palace, especially since Manbao's crying was quite noisy, so the emperor and the empress knew about it during breakfast.
After one night, the emperor's condition had improved a lot. The pus in his throat had basically disappeared, but it was still red, swollen and painful, so he could only eat porridge. However, some minced meat was added to the porridge, which looked good.
In fact, it tastes pretty good.
After listening with great interest to Gu Zhong's report on the dispute in the side hall, the emperor finished his bowl of porridge, put it down with satisfaction, and asked with a smile, "Where is Zhou Man?"
Seeing the emperor's interest, Gu Zhong immediately smiled and said, "Court Secretary Xiao was worried that Doctor Zhou would be embarrassed, so he asked someone to bring breakfast to her in the side hall."
"What good food can we eat in the side hall? Call her over. There are still many delicious foods on the table."
The emperor's words sounded fake, because there were many things he could not eat. In order to prevent him from being tempted, the queen put only a basket of steamed buns and some side dishes on the table besides a clay pot of meat porridge.
Zhou Man's meal is more substantial.
However, Gu Zhong did not show his thoughts. Instead, he smiled and said yes, then turned around to find Zhou Man.
Manbao was sitting in a side hall waiting for food. Dean Xiao and Imperial Physician Liu had already gone to see the Emperor while Manbao was getting ready. Now was a good time to mention it to her, "The plaster is very effective. We've checked it out. The pus in the throat has basically disappeared, and the inflammation on the old wound has also subsided a lot. Imperial Physician Liu has already prescribed a steady prescription, so it's time to change the next treatment."
Manbao sat on the chair, nodding his head slightly with his legs.
Seeing her agreement, Xiao Yuanzheng continued to ask, "Do you think acupuncture is still possible?"
Manbao said: "No need, just stick it on."
Manbao said, "Since your majesty's condition has improved, I will go back to Chongwenguan."
It's so embarrassing to cry in front of people.
Xiao Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you want to go see His Majesty again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhong came over to invite Manbao.
Manbao glanced at Xiao Yuanzheng and then went to the main hall with Gu Zhong.
As soon as she arrived, the emperor stared at her face and saw that she was still a little depressed, so he was happy.
After being glared at by the Empress, the Emperor pointed to a chair and said, "Come and sit down. Someone, bring a set of bowls and chopsticks to Doctor Zhou."
Manbao thanked the emperor for the meal and sat down. Gu Zhong glanced at her and served her some meat porridge.
The emperor smiled and asked her, "Why did I hear people say you were crying?"
Manbao had barely forgotten about this embarrassing incident when the emperor brought it up. She immediately became angry. She knew the emperor was doing it on purpose, so she mentioned it as well: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yuanzheng said that your illness is getting better. The inflammation in your body has subsided a lot, and you shouldn't have a fever anymore."
She said, "You should eat less melon in the future and take your medicine as prescribed by the doctor. Your illness shouldn't be this serious."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately became unhappy. The two looked at each other, and then snorted in their hearts. Manbao lowered his head to eat porridge, and the emperor lowered his head to drink tea.
The queen couldn't help but shake her head as she watched.
Manbao had a great appetite. He finished a bowl of porridge and ate two steamed buns. Not to mention the emperor who could only watch but not eat, even the queen was a little envious.
The queen couldn't help laughing and said, "You are such a good eater, kid."
Manbao was not embarrassed at all and explained, "I'm still growing. I need to eat more to grow taller."
The emperor looked her up and down and nodded, "You need to eat more."
Manbao: ...
The Queen waited until she had finished eating and then said with a smile, "Show it to His Majesty again."
Of course, it is impossible for Manbao to see the disease alone. Xiao Yuanzheng and Doctor Liu also came. After the five of them consulted together, they determined that the emperor's critical period had passed. Next, he just needed to apply the plaster and take the medicine on time. In about three days, the disease would be completely cured.
The emperor asked, "So my illness was cured by this plaster?"
Xiao Yuanzheng thought about it and felt that what the emperor said was correct. The fatal problem of the emperor's previous illness was that the inflammation in his body was too severe. The medicine he took could not act in the throat and was mostly taken away by the inflammation in other parts of the body.
However, the decoction could not completely deal with these inflammations, and the emperor's body could not bear it if the dosage was increased. The medicinal properties of the plaster were not only targeted and slow in effect but also long-lasting. Moreover, Zhou Man's acupuncture method stimulated the medicinal properties and circulated the medicinal properties, so the effect came into effect immediately.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanzheng nodded.
The emperor said, "So this plaster is very effective. If it can be circulated, it will benefit the people."
Xiao Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yes, Imperial Physician Zhou has made a great contribution this time."
The emperor nodded.
He really felt that the patch was useful. Besides tightening the skin on his neck, it also gave him a cool feeling. Not only did his throat but also his brain felt much clearer. It felt good.
The emperor stopped talking and waved his hand to let Xiao Yuanzheng and others leave.
After they left, the Queen said, "Although Imperial Physician Lu is talented, he lacks a broad mind."
The emperor said indifferently, "As long as he has good medical skills, it's fine. We won't let him be the director of the hospital. It's best if he has a broad mind, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't."
Gu Zhong listened from the side and knew that Doctor Lu would only be an imperial physician in his life.
The Queen also felt that Doctor Lu was unworthy of the position of Director. She nodded and stopped mentioning him. Instead, she asked, "Zhou Man wants her two disciples to join the Imperial Hospital..."
The emperor laughed and said, "It's her ability that allowed her to get a place from the Imperial Hospital. I don't know much about the Imperial Doctors either, so let them do what they want."
The Queen laughed and said, "Aren't you worried about the fact that there are three doctors named Zheng in the Imperial Hospital?"
The emperor smiled and shook his head. "As long as they have the ability, it's fine even if they all have the surname Zheng."
The Imperial Medical Service is not like the imperial court, as it involves too many interests.
The director of the Imperial Medical Service was only a fourth-rank official, and his main responsibility was to treat the royal family and nobles. He rarely got involved in state affairs, so the emperor certainly didn't care.
As for an imperial physician, the most important thing is that he has good medical skills and is enjoyable to use. As for someone like Zhou Man... forget it, he is still a pleasure to use.
The matter was over with the Emperor and Empress, but in the eyes of Manbao and Imperial Physician Lu, it was not over yet.
Doctor Lu still refused to exchange the quota for the medical record and the prescription for the patch.
Manbao was not in a hurry. There were many imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau. As long as most of them agreed, it would be fine. Doctor Lu was just one person.
However, she reached out and pulled the prescription from Doctor Lu's hand, then said, "Since you don't agree, then don't study it. We will study it ourselves."
Doctor Lu: ...
A surprise for you
See you tomorrow,
