Chapter 1578 Your son is sick
Man Bao said, "Your Highness asked me why I chose His Royal Highness. In fact, I never chose His Royal Highness. I was sincere. I am a doctor and a subject of Your Majesty, so I only obey Your Majesty's orders. As long as the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, as long as the Crown Prince is Your Majesty's eldest son, then I will protect the Crown Prince just like the court officials such as Lord Wei and Old Lord Tang. You won't say that people like Lord Wei and Old Lord Tang are also His Royal Highness's people, right?"
Prince Gong looked at Zhou Man sarcastically, "You're really good at comparing yourself to Wei Zhi and Tang Hui?"
Manbao was shameless and didn't blush at all. He thought to himself, what's wrong with me being better than them?
What I'm comparing is attitude, not talent, and in terms of professional talent, she is not bad, okay?
The two of them seemed to be parting on bad terms, but they had to go down the same path next.
Prince Gong glanced at her, and it was not known whether he had listened to her or not, but he turned around and left.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were standing under the scorching sun immediately chased after him with their palm fans to block the sun for him.
Manbao waited until Shanggu Ji walked a distance before calling him to walk together.
The two of them arrived at the emperor's palace one after the other, and the queen was also there.
This time, the emperor summoned Zhou Man and called Prince Gong to come, just to let Zhou Man show himself to Prince Gong.
Prince Gong's health was not very good. Unlike the strong Crown Prince whose illness was not easily visible from the inside, Prince Gong's poor health was manifested externally.
He doesn't like heat, gets sleepy and weak easily, and is also prone to other illnesses, but they are all minor ones.
However, minor illnesses and pains are the most heartbreaking, and the emperor has always been concerned about Prince Gong since he was a child.
Of course, the queen also felt sorry for him. The weather had been extremely hot these days. Even living in the Daming Palace, he would occasionally feel uncomfortable. The temperature difference between day and night was very large. Even the emperor had fallen ill before, let alone Prince Gong.
He has actually been taking medicine these days.
It was just that Prince Gong was reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors, and even though the emperor felt sorry for him, he couldn't invite many imperial doctors to him at once.
However, both Xiao Yuanzheng and Liu Taiyi had examined him and prescribed him some medicine. He felt better for a while after taking it, but felt uncomfortable again after two days.
The emperor wanted Zhou Man to take a look at him, or even give him a few acupuncture treatments.
He felt that Zhou Man's acupuncture was quite comfortable. Although the needle looked very long, it did not hurt at all.
Manbao didn't mind giving Prince Gong acupuncture, but Prince Gong seemed to mind a little and was not very willing to let Zhou Man do it.
Manbao was a little angry when she saw that he was questioning her position and purpose. He was unhappy, and she was unhappy too.
So she started to talk to the emperor, "Your Highness Prince Gong has weak Qi, is afraid of heat, and sweats a lot. If he doesn't drink enough water, he will easily get heatstroke."
The emperor nodded repeatedly, as if he had found a kindred spirit. He said, "The imperial physicians have all said that Prince Gong suffers from a weak Qi and fears heat, but there's no effective way to cure the condition. They can only prescribe prescriptions and tell him to take good care of himself. But how can this continue?"
Manbao said, "There is actually a way to eradicate it, but the imperial doctors are afraid they can't tell me."
"What's wrong with that?"
Manbao also looked conflicted and refused to speak.
The Queen beside him said, "Just treat us as ordinary patients and give us instructions. You don't need to care about our status at this time."
The emperor knew that this was a bad habit that was often passed down by the Imperial Hospital. He immediately said to Zhou Man, "I forgive you and you are not guilty. If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak."
"Then I'll tell you what I'm saying," Manbao glanced at Prince Gong, making his hair stand on end, and then he began to earnestly instruct the emperor, "Prince Gong doesn't have any major problems, but he has many minor ones. Qi deficiency and fear of heat are just one of them. He might also feel dizzy and weak if he gets excited. If he sleeps deeply at night, he might even suffer from qi deficiency and palpitations..."
The emperor looked at Prince Gong. He remembered that the third prince had all these problems. Many times he couldn't sleep well at night and had to ask the eunuchs to go out of the palace to make sure Prince Gong was safe before he could feel at ease.
Prince Gong: ...
He looked at Zhou Man silently without saying a word.
He did have all these problems, but the symptoms were very mild. Not only him, but even the imperial doctors did not take these illnesses seriously.
He always liked to bring it up in front of his father before, and he was just acting coquettishly. But why did he look like he was going to die after Zhou Man said that?
Manbao went on to say, "Your Highness is only this old now, so he thinks these minor ailments and pains are nothing to worry about. However, he doesn't realize that if the disease is not cured, it will get worse as you age. In the end, even if you want to treat it, it will be too late."
Not to mention the Emperor, even the Empress was stunned. They both became anxious, "Really? How come Xiao Yuanzheng and the others didn't notice?"
Man Bao said, "When this disease is mild, it only makes the body feel a little uncomfortable. It is not fatal. Moreover, it is not easy to cure it completely. It requires suffering. Xiao Yuanzheng and others may think that Prince Gong cannot bear this suffering."
The emperor frowned, "Is the medicine very bitter? Or is the needle very painful? Prince Gong is also a seven-foot-tall man, how could he be afraid of these things?"
"Neither," Manbao said, "You have to endure hunger and practice martial arts to improve your body."
She looked Prince Gong up and down and said, "Many of Prince Gong's problems come from this obesity."
As soon as these words came out, Prince Gong could not help but fly into a rage. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shouting, "How dare you humiliate me!"
The emperor also frowned, "Prince Gong is so strong."
Manbao: ...This is not a pig or a sheep, where you only care about the fat on the body. This is a human being, okay? Even if he gets fat, we can't take him down and slaughter him.
Manbao opened her big round eyes and looked at the emperor silently. After staring at him for a long time, she finally gave in and rolled up her sleeves to show the emperor her wrists.
"Your Majesty, look, what is this?"
The emperor was silent for a moment and then said, "Arm."
"That's right," Manbao pointed to the blood vessels in his wrist and said to him, "Do you see these? These blue stripes are blood vessels. They are connected to the heart. When the heart beats like this, blood comes out and flows through the blood vessels throughout the body. That's how people live."
The emperor and the empress listened in silence. They knew this principle, but no one had ever explained it to them before.
Manbao continued, "Look at how thin my arms are. I'm so small. When I lift my legs to walk or reach out to lift something, doesn't it take very little effort?"
The emperor vaguely understood that she was comparing himself to Prince Gong, so he looked at Prince Gong and then at her, and said directly: "The things you can lift are definitely not as heavy as Prince Gong. Prince Gong is much stronger than you."
In this era, being strong is almost equivalent to being strong.
This wasn't the answer he wanted. Manbao was silent for a moment, but he had to nod and admit that the emperor was right. He simply followed his words and said, "But you have to know that the heart power of healthy people is actually similar. Look, if my fist is my heart, its opening and closing is a blood supply, a reincarnation..."
Manbao: The Emperor is the most difficult student I have ever taught
