Chapter 1627 Wrestling
It was only when Manbao went to Chongwenguan to repair books the next day that she learned that Old Lady Wang had suffered a stroke. It was Xiao Yuanzheng who told her.
"Yesterday, a servant from Lord Wang's family took a letter to the Imperial Hospital to ask for Doctor Chen. Not long after Doctor Chen left, someone came to ask for me. When I arrived, I learned that the old lady had suffered a stroke."
Manbao asked with concern, "How is the old lady?"
Not only Manbao, but also the editors of Chongwenguan who were editing books at the next table pricked up their ears.
"It's not a big problem, but it's not small either. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to walk in the future. My mouth is a little crooked, but fortunately it's mild. I can take care of it slowly and it will probably recover in a few years if I don't get angry."
Manbao lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Why did the old lady have a stroke?"
Xiao Yuanzheng gave her a meaningful look and said, "I heard she fell accidentally."
But he fell because he was angry. The imperial doctors were not fools and they could tell the cause just by feeling his pulse.
But after all, this is someone else's family affair. They are imperial doctors, not censors, so they cannot tell anyone about it.
Manbao pondered for a moment, then came to his senses and said, propping up his chin, "Lord Wang is in great danger."
Seeing her gloating expression, Xiao Yuan reached out and patted her head. "Hurry up and finish your study. After you've finished your copy of 'Acupuncture', send it to the bookstore and have it printed. His Highness has already sent documents to various places. The Imperial Medical Bureau will officially recruit the first batch of students after the final exam this year."
Manbao was cheered up and said immediately, "That's fast. Don't worry, I can check it out within three days."
Xiao Yuanzheng was really worried and said, "You should check a few more times. We are imperial physicians, and this court matter doesn't have much to do with us. Don't always listen to other people's stories."
Manbao agreed, "I understand."
The Wang family's affairs came to an end here, and there were fewer impeachments against the prince and Chongwenguan in the court.
To be honest, the price Wang Ji paid for this was a bit too high. Not only did the family split up, but his old mother also became sick.
You have to know that Wang Ji is now in the rising period of his career. If something happens to his mother at this time, he will have to observe mourning.
It is not certain whether he can be reinstated after the period of mourning.
If he had a personality like Patriarch Wang, he would naturally be happy to live a relaxed life without being an official, but he is not like that.
So now he didn't dare to hang around the old lady, let alone ask her to stay and live with him.
After careful consideration, Mrs. Wang decided to take the old lady back to Taiyuan after Wang Rong and the old lady recovered from their illness.
The brothers Wang Rong and Wang Da moved out of the Wang residence and found another house to live in and study in the capital. Although it was not officially announced, everyone knew privately that the two brothers had joined the Eastern Palace.
The prince sent out a royal physician who easily resolved the matter and also recruited two people from Wang's side.
Although Wang Rong and Wang Da may not achieve great success in the future, they are still members of the Wang family. Even if they just run errands or provide some information about the aristocratic families, it will be enough for the prince to make a profit.
No, even if Wang Rong and Wang Da did nothing, the fame the prince gained this time would be enough.
The prince used to be so irritable, but now he is willing to send the imperial physician to treat his nephew, the censor who impeached him.
Although it also made the censor embarrassed, but given the prince's previous temper, he would definitely not send the imperial physician. Instead, he would watch coldly and wait for the person to die before using the dead person to negotiate with Wang Ji.
Although many people still saw that the prince had bad intentions this time, they had to admit that the prince had become more merciful.
For a monarch, being kind is a key factor in gaining the approval of his subjects. Even the head of the royal family, who rarely participated in political struggles, began to seriously consider the future of the Jin Dynasty.
Should the Wang family also make some biased investments in this fight for the throne?
Many people felt that Wang Ji and the aristocratic families had suffered a great loss this time. Lord Yang also thought so. At dinner that night, he couldn't help but talk about it and said to his son, "Wang Ji was scolded badly this time. Beating people is just a pretense. He wants to use this incident to get rid of the eldest son. His mind is still too vicious."
Yang Heshu paused for a moment, frowned, and asked, "Father, do you agree with their impeachment of Chongwenguan?"
"Whatever I agree with, it's just a small matter. We are loyal to His Majesty and don't engage in these factional disputes." Lord Yang glanced at him and said, "Besides, you are in the Eastern Palace now. What can I do against Chongwenguan?"
Although Lord Yang didn't like the prince very much, he was very satisfied with his son. He would never do anything that would affect his son's career.
Yang Heshu was relieved to hear this, but their Yang family was also a prominent family. Recently, the relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince and the aristocratic families had become somewhat strained, so he couldn't help but privately find his father and tell him, "Father, our family is different from other families. If they get involved in something like this, they might be able to get away with it, but we, the Yang family, can't."
Because there is a Concubine Yang in the palace who is from their Yang family, and the fifth prince is also from our Yang family.
Lord Yang was of course aware of this and nodded, saying, "Father is not stupid, so I naturally understand."
Lord Yang suddenly remembered something and lowered his voice, "There's no problem with the Yang family, but with the Cui family..."
He stared at Yang Heshu and asked, "Has your wife been close to her family recently?"
Yang Heshu said, "Father, Cui is a well-educated and sensible person. She will not do anything to harm me."
Lord Yang glanced at his son's face and nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.
Yang Heshu's face froze slightly. He clearly didn't mean that, but it was impossible to correct him at this time.
He shook his head, bowed to his father and left.
Cui was walking around the house, holding her waist, exercising and eating. When she saw her husband come back, she smiled and went to greet him, "Would you like some tea, my husband?"
Yang Heshu smiled, held her hand and said, "No hurry, how are you?"
"It's getting heavier. The midwife calculated the date and said that I can give birth in about a month." After all, it was her first time giving birth, so Cui was still a little scared. When her hand was held, she couldn't help but tell Yang Heshu something she had been thinking about for a long time. "I thought about asking Manbao to come to the mansion to help me. She is also an expert at midwifery."
Yang Heshu pondered and said, "But she works in the palace, so it's probably not easy for her to come in and out..."
Seeing his wife frown slightly, Yang Heshu said, "Leave this matter to me. I will talk to His Highness about loaning her out of the palace later."
Only then did Cui breathe a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
Since they were going to borrow her, Yang Heshu naturally had to ask Manbao in advance, so he asked her when he entered the palace the next day. Manbao said without thinking, "Okay, I haven't seen Madam Yang for a long time. The last time I felt her fetal position, it was quite normal. There shouldn't be any problems with the birth."
