Chapter 1589 All-round Attack (Happy Birthday to Book Friend "Qian'an")
When Manbao appeared in front of Prince Gong again, Prince Gong was lying on the bed with a weak look on his face, and there was an ice basin in the room.
Aunt Shang whispered to Manbao, "Master Zhou, Prince Gong seems to be really ill."
Manbao said, "It's only the third day, how could he be sick?"
She stepped forward to feel Prince Gong's pulse, but he refused, saying sullenly, "I don't want you to examine me. I want other doctors from the Imperial Hospital to come."
Man Bao sighed and said, "Your Highness, you are a prince, so you should be examined by a sixth-rank imperial physician. Unfortunately, I happen to be sixth-rank. Even if you invite another imperial physician, whose rank is equal to or lower than mine, they will still have to consult with me. Moreover, I am examining you on the orders of His Majesty and His Majesty."
Prince Gong glared and said, "You didn't treat me well. I was fine before, but after your treatment, my whole body aches and I'm even sick. And now you're still trying to take credit for it and make excuses..."
Seeing that Aunt Shang seemed somewhat interested, Manbao turned and left. A moment later, he called in a broad-shouldered and straight-backed guard. Manbao had the bewildered guard stand before Prince Gong's bed and, pointing at the guard and Prince Gong, asked, "Your Highness, do you know what the difference is between you and him?"
Prince Gong looked up at the tall and strong guard and was speechless for a long time.
Manbao clapped his hands again, and the two eunuchs gritted their teeth and carried in the pork that Mr. Zhou had just requested.
This kind of meat has a strong fishy smell and is for the palace servants to eat. This place is not far from the dining room where the palace servants cook.
Two eunuchs placed a large piece of meat in front of Prince Gong's bed. Manbao said to him with a serious face, "The difference between you and him is these 60 kilograms of meat. You can't cut these 60 kilograms of meat from your body, right? So if you want to lose it, you have to convert it into energy and digest it. You're not a farmer, so the best options are to work in the fields or do hard labor on the streets. In less than three months, I guarantee you'll be healthy again."
Prince Gong looked at the large piece of meat placed in front of the bed, and was so angry and shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
Aunt Shang also calmed down instantly.
Manbao paid the most attention to Aunt Shang's expression, but she didn't care about Prince Gong.
Seeing that Aunt Shang was persuaded, Manbao waved his hand, and the two eunuchs immediately picked up the meat and ran away like flying, while the guards also left in confusion.
Manbao then sat down in front of the bed, took Prince Gong's hand and felt his pulse. She could see that he was depressed, but losing weight meant eating less, drinking less, and exercising more. Anyone would feel depressed, so she said, "You are depressed. I can understand you. After all, you haven't exercised for a long time, and your body aches. It's normal for you to be in a bad mood."
"But you have to know that this is also for your health. His Majesty and His Majesty care about you very much. How about this: you walk more today. Exercise can relieve your stress. After you finish walking, your mood will improve."
No way, by the time he finished walking, he was so tired that he couldn't move. How could he be in a good mood?
But turning around, Manbao said to Aunt Shang: "There is nothing in this world that can't be solved by a good night's sleep. Prince Gong can't sleep now, so he will want to sleep when he gets tired of walking."
Aunt Shang thought for a moment, then turned and went in to persuade Prince Gong. Mingda and Changyu happened to come over to play with Manbao, no, to visit Prince Gong. Seeing that Prince Gong was being stubborn and refused to leave, they immediately said, "Third brother, this is not good. Father and Mother were talking about you yesterday, saying that your health is getting worse. Mother also blamed Father for spoiling you too much, which is why you are so fat..."
Mingda took Prince Gong's hand and said earnestly, "Third brother, Xiang'er is already four years old, yet you are so reluctant to see a doctor. What if he starts to do the same?"
Prince Gong had to get out of bed and set out on his journey again, but his legs and feet were so sore that he had to walk for a while and rest for a while, half walking and half supporting himself to the end. Then when he returned to the palace, he sat down and couldn't get up. The whole day passed in a daze and soreness.
Manbao and the other two climbed a short distance up the mountain and played for a while before leaving.
Manbao put the flowers and plants she dug into a basket and took them back to her residence. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Xu Yu squatting on the ground beside her flower pot. She asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Yu was startled, turned around and said with a smile: "I am watering the flowers and plants. Master Zhou, what are the names of these flowers and plants you planted?"
Manbao smiled and walked over to introduce them to her, "This is angelica dahurica, and this is shrimp membrane..."
Xu Yu had never heard of these names, and these plants did not look like flowers or plants, but more like saplings. She didn't quite understand what the point of planting these things was.
Xu Yu lowered his head slightly and asked, "Are these medicinal herbs?"
"No," Manbao said frankly, "They are just some plants I haven't seen much. I like collecting plants, so when I see them, I dig them up with Princess Mingda and the others and bring them back to grow and see."
When Xu Yu heard that they dug together with Princess Mingda and the others, she didn't dare to ask too much. She just couldn't help but ask curiously, "I remember when I brought you the flowerpot yesterday, there were more than just these flowers and plants. The rest..."
"They were damaged after being dug up and were not suitable for planting, so I disposed of them," Manbao smiled and asked, "Why, is it the aunt in charge who is asking questions?"
"No," Xu Yu's heart was beating fast, and she quickly denied it: "I'm just a little curious."
Manbao nodded, found an excuse to send her away before going into the house, opening the basket, picking out the plants that Koko could collect, and planting the rest in pots perfunctorily.
Koko asked, "Aren't you afraid that she will be suspicious?"
Man Bao said: "Don't be afraid, I have always wanted to know who she is, but unfortunately she has never contacted anyone else. Let's see this time."
This time, Xu Yu still didn't contact anyone, wasting the few points that Manbao paid.
Manbao sighed and whispered to Baishan, "She's amazing. She's always so patient. I even wrote a memorial in front of her the night before last, but she didn't go looking for anyone else."
Bai Shan said: "Don't be afraid, she is in the light now and we are in the dark, she should be afraid of us."
Manbao nodded, sat on the rockery with him shoulder to shoulder, swung his legs and asked, "Did the prince look for you today?"
"They did. Not only me, but Bai Er and Yin Huo were also called in. They were asking about the memorial." Bai Shan paused and asked, "Why did you add our names to it? We originally wanted to contribute to your cause."
"This isn't just my achievement," she sighed. "Besides, I'm busy right now, editing the book and taking care of the situation at Daming Palace. How can I have time to deal with relief?"
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "No wonder His Highness didn't contact you in the end. You're right. You don't have enough time right now. Editing the textbook is more important. If the Imperial Medical Bureau uses the textbooks you edited in the future, the students who graduate from there, regardless of whether you taught them personally, will be considered your students."
Man Bao said: "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I have a book that will be passed down. If it can be passed down through the ages, I will be a celebrity. Not to mention, how can I miss such an opportunity to promote medicine?"
I wish my book friend "Qian'an" a happy birthday. May you have this day every year and be happy every day!
See you tomorrow, hehehe
