Chapter 1566 Watermelon Frost Part 3
Bai Shan insisted on burning paper money for Zhou Yin, while Man Bao gave Teacher Mo a fingernail's worth of watermelon frost to verify whether it was real or fake.
Teacher Mo was stunned when he received the package she had mailed wrapped in paper. He said, "This is something written in ancient books. We now... well, the medicine we use now also contains watermelon frost, but it's in a different form. Forget it, I'll test it for you."
Teacher Mo quietly collected the items and went offline to test them for her. The laboratory was quite fast at this test. Most importantly, there was watermelon frost in that world, so the data was in the database. After comparing the results, he sent an email to Manbao, saying, "Although the quality isn't particularly good and can't compare to the watermelon frost of today, it is indeed watermelon frost and can be used."
When Manbao received this email, it was time for dinner at home. While she was eating with Bai Shan, she distractedly read the email.
Bai Shan turned around and saw that she was about to hit the tree without even turning a corner. He knew that she was thinking about something and was very engrossed. He could only reach out and pull her away, leading her to the dining room.
Manbao came back to his senses after entering the dining room. Seeing that the Bai brothers were turning their heads to look at them, he quickly pulled his hand out of Bai Shan's hand.
Bai Shan walked past Man Bao without changing his expression and sat down in his seat.
Mrs. Liu saw Manbao and waved with a smile, "Come and sit down. I guessed you would come to eat today, so I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."
Manbao stepped forward quickly.
Unless her sixth brother happens to come back to cook, Manbao always eats with the Bai family.
There's no way, Aunt Rong's cooking skills are much better than those of the fourth and fifth sisters-in-law.
Fang and Lu also knew this and did not force their sister-in-law to eat with them. To be honest, they felt that their cooking skills were quite good. Of course, they were not as good as the eldest sister-in-law, but they were far better than the second sister-in-law.
It’s just that Manbao has become picky about food because he has been eating his sister-in-law’s cooking since he was a child.
Manbao sat down next to Old Lady Liu. Opposite her was Zheng, and she couldn't help but look at her again and again.
Zheng, who had just ordered the soup to be served, couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Why are you looking at me?"
Manbao asked, "Aunt Zheng, are you feeling unwell?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Zheng.
Zheng was stunned for a moment before she said, "It's okay, just a little sore throat."
Bai Shan immediately thought of the emperor and sat up straight, "Mom, if you feel unwell, please call a doctor."
Zheng couldn't help but scold, "Why call a doctor? Don't we have Manbao at home? And it's not a serious illness, just a sore throat."
The emperor didn't have a sore throat at first, but it turned out like that. Bai Shan complained secretly, then looked at Manbao.
Manbao looked at Zheng carefully and said to Bai Shan, "It's okay. I'll spray watermelon frost on Aunt Zheng later."
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu immediately looked at Manbao and asked, "Have you made the watermelon frost?"
Manbao nodded.
A few days ago, Manbao came back from her vacation and naturally told Mr. Zhuang about the deal she had made with the Imperial Hospital. When Mr. Zhuang knew about it, Madam Liu also knew about it.
To be honest, given Manbao's current path, neither she nor Mr. Zhuang can give her any good advice, except to tell her not to become arrogant because of her favor in the palace.
She thought it would take some time, but who knew the baby would be born right now.
Old Lady Liu looked at Manbao, then at Bai Shan who was standing calmly beside her, and felt that her grandson's future might be a little difficult.
She shook her head with a smile and said to Manbao, "Then you can show it to your Aunt Zheng after dinner."
Manbao smiled and replied yes.
Zheng didn't have any serious illness, just an inflamed throat due to internal heat.
Manbao prescribed a decoction and then sprinkled some watermelon frost into her throat.
Not to mention, it tasted a bit bitter and cool, which Zheng was not used to.
But perhaps because it was her first time to come into contact with such medicine, the healing effect on her body was amazing. After dinner, she drank a bowl of medicine and took some watermelon frost. When she woke up the next morning, she no longer felt the itchiness in her throat and recovered faster than ever before.
Man Bao ran over excitedly to see the effect, and was delighted to see that it was just as good as Teacher Mo had said. "No wonder this medicine is so powerful. Although it's not as good as Sanqi Powder, it's still quite effective."
Zheng also thought it was useful. "Except that the powder tastes a bit bitter, there's no other problem."
But what medicine is not bitter?
Manbao asked, "Anything else?"
She carefully asked about the feelings of taking the medicine, wrote it down one by one, and then gave half to Zheng.
Zheng put the powder away and asked, "You asked so many questions in detail. Have you tried this medicine before?"
Manbao chuckled and said, "Aunt Zheng, I can't guarantee that you are the first person in the world to use this medicine, but you must be the first person outside the palace to use it."
Zheng: ...Should she be happy?
At this time, Xiao Yuanzheng, Liu Taiyi and others in the palace also received feedback from the eunuchs and palace maids they had called in.
This was the hottest time of the year, and many people in the palace felt uncomfortable due to the heat, but some showed it and some did not.
Most of them did not show it, and endured it silently, or used their connections to ask for help and went to the side hall of the East Palace to ask Doctor Zhou or her apprentices to give them a few acupuncture treatments to relieve the pain.
When the Imperial Medical Bureau wants to test medicine, many people have no choice but to look directly among the lowest-ranking palace maids and eunuchs, and once they find a suitable candidate, they will bring him to the Imperial Medical Bureau for testing.
They would not prescribe decoctions for Zheng like Zhou Man did. Instead, they would use watermelon frost directly to better verify the efficacy of the medicine.
The effect of the medicine is very gratifying.
Xiao Yuanzheng carefully examined their throats and felt their pulses before saying, "Very good. This medicine is even more effective than we expected."
Doctor Liu also stroked his beard and nodded, smiling, "Let's use it for a while and see if there are any areas where it's inadequate. If it works well, it can completely replace the medicated plaster in the future. Then, Your Majesty won't have to worry about the unsightly plaster."
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded.
They carefully discussed the amount and date of the trial drug, and then the three of them monitored their pulses separately.
Doctor Fang said, "Dr. Lu asked about this yesterday evening, but the frost is ready."
Xiao Yuanzheng smiled and said, "This is not a secret. If he asks, Doctor Fang will tell him."
Doctor Lu asked because he naturally wanted to participate, but Dean Xiao's answer clearly excluded him.
Doctor Fang understood what Xiao Yuanzheng meant and nodded. Then he asked, "I think this medicine is almost right. The Imperial Medical Bureau has also agreed to allow Zhou Man's two apprentices to study. So, what about her book on medicinal plasters..."
Compared to this prescription, the entire book of medicinal plaster prescriptions is naturally more important.
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Wait until I'm on vacation, I'll ask then."
He looked at Doctor Liu and said with a smile, "Perhaps Doctor Liu can ask Doctor Liu."
See you at 8pm
