Chapter 1701 You Can Too
Manbao saw it, raised his eyebrows, walked forward, and directly reached out to take Miss Zhao's hand, slightly closed her four fingers, and then lightly touched her tiger's mouth.
Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief and placed the needle on her skin. Seeing her flinch, she smiled and asked, "Look, does it hurt now?"
Seeing that she hadn't inserted the needle yet, Miss Zhao smiled sheepishly and shook her head, saying, "It doesn't hurt."
Doctor Liu smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt, does it? I told you acupuncture doesn't hurt."
Just as she said this, Manbao raised her palm slightly, blocking Miss Zhao's view of the needle, and Doctor Liu had already inserted it diagonally. Miss Zhao seemed to feel something and pulled her hand back, but it was held by Zhou Man.
Manbao raised his eyelids and glanced at Miss Zhao. Seeing that she didn't react, he withdrew his hand.
When Miss Zhao saw the needle already inserted, her eyes widened instantly.
Manbao said proudly: "How is it? I said it doesn't hurt, right?"
Miss Zhao, who was about to cry, felt it and found that it didn't seem to hurt at all, so her tears were stopped.
Doctor Liu stabbed her again and again. Seeing her frown, she asked with a smile, "Does it hurt? Or is it sore?"
Miss Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't hurt, just a little sore."
She could also feel the process of the needle being pulled out and then inserted again, and it always felt painful, but when she felt it carefully, it didn't seem to hurt.
Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
Manbao took the opportunity to say, "It's the same with other acupuncture points. They won't hurt."
Miss Zhao bit her lip and said nothing. The prince's wife hurried forward to persuade her. After a long time, she finally persuaded her to agree to the acupuncture, but her left hand still grabbed the collar of her clothes and refused to let go.
Manbao watched silently for a while, then turned to Doctor Liu and said, "You do the injection."
When Doctor Liu saw that the Crown Prince's wife had no objection, she immediately became happy.
Manbao helped her by rolling up his sleeves, grabbing Miss Zhao's legs, and rolling up her pants.
Miss Zhao was stunned and a little scared. "Why are you rolling up your trouser legs?"
Seeing that Doctor Liu had already pulled out the needle, Manbao smiled at Miss Zhao and said happily, "Because it's an acupuncture point on the leg."
Miss Zhao opened her mouth wide, and in the moment she was stunned, Doctor Liu had already inserted the needle.
Manbao asked complacently, "It doesn't hurt, does it?"
Miss Zhao paused and nodded.
So he stopped struggling and let Doctor Liu give him the injection.
After finishing the acupuncture on her leg, Manbao pulled out the needle on her tiger head and said, "Sit still, we have two more acupuncture points on your back."
Perhaps because she didn't feel any pain after so many needles were inserted into her legs, Miss Zhao no longer resisted acupuncture and allowed it to be done.
It was clearly a very common acupuncture method, but when the treatment was finished, both of them had sweat on their foreheads.
Seeing that Doctor Liu had put away her needle bag, Manbao turned around and asked the Crown Prince's wife, "Do you need me to have Doctor Liu come to your house tomorrow?"
The Crown Prince's wife was just about to speak when she heard this, but immediately said, "Then I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Zhou and Female Physician Liu."
Manbao nodded and warned again, "Don't give her any supplements."
The Crown Prince's wife agreed with a wry smile. Who could have known that this was caused by eating?
After leaving the Zhaoguo Mansion, Manbao said to Dr. Liu, "This is your first outpatient consultation. If you do a good job, more people will come to you in the future."
Manbao's eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars. She said, "You are still a female doctor now, but since I am already a female doctor in the palace, there will naturally be a second one."
Doctor Liu opened her mouth in surprise and pointed at herself helplessly, "Me, me?"
Man Bao nodded and said, "In a few days, the Imperial Medical Bureau will officially start its lectures. You should also go in to study. You have already learned most of the acupuncture. You and Zheng Gu can apply for admission to the physical therapy department during the mid-year exam next year. As long as you have learned enough, you can naturally take the exam when the Imperial Medical Bureau needs to recruit staff in the future."
She helped Liu Yinu get into the car and said to her, "I think the imperial physician exam is the same as the civil servant exam. You need to have a good reputation. For example, isn't it because of my reputation that I was able to become an imperial physician?"
"A scholar's reputation is built on his writings, and a doctor's reputation is built on treating patients. Don't underestimate minor illnesses, and don't be afraid of major ones. With time, you will naturally have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Hospital."
Doctor Liu's mind was shaken. She clenched her hands and looked up at Zhou Man after a while. "Is what Master said true?"
Manbao nodded. "Of course, why would I lie to you? But if you don't want to be a royal physician, that's fine. You can go to other medical offices. After all, being a royal physician in the palace is still too dangerous."
"No, I want to!" Doctor Liu's eyes sparkled, and she said with determination, "I want to be an imperial physician."
Although being an imperial physician is dangerous, danger always comes with power and benefits. Her grandfather was an imperial physician, and she knew clearly that the Liu family's current prosperity and wealth all depended on her grandfather.
She was sent to the palace to work as a doctor at an early age and had seen too many ups and downs. Although she had a clear goal, she was always a little afraid that things would not go as she wished.
Her father was a bastard, and because she entered the palace at a very young age, her relationship with her brothers and sisters was very ordinary, and even her relationship with her parents was not very deep.
She was not sure whether she could find a suitable husband to marry after leaving the palace, but now the path her master had pointed out was even broader.
Doctor Liu straightened her back and said seriously, "I want to be an imperial physician."
Manbao nodded, "Then let's do it."
If being an imperial physician didn't come with official land, she actually wouldn't have really wanted to be one. She had originally planned to finish reading all the medical books in the Chongwenguan and then resign after the Imperial Medical Bureau was established.
But Job Field...
Manbao turned to Dr. Liu and said, "Then you can get your share of the official land."
Doctor Liu didn't care much about the official position. Instead, she thought of another thing. "When the time comes, I will be a minister. My family will not just marry me off to someone else, right?"
Manbao blinked. "Doctor Liu is a good person. He wouldn't marry you off to anyone, would he?"
Doctor Liu smiled at Manbao. There were quite a few members of the Liu family, and her grandfather probably wouldn't care about these trivial matters. She also had parents, grandmother, and several uncles, aunts, and other relatives above her.
Manbao obviously couldn't understand the complexity of the situation, and Doctor Liu didn't explain it. They went all the way back to the palace, and Manbao simply went with her to the side hall of the East Palace to watch the other two disciples give acupuncture.
When the eunuch guarding the gate saw that Doctor Zhou had come in person, he immediately winked at another person, and that person ran away. Not long after, Eunuch Wu came running from behind to get acupuncture.
He held his waist and said to Zhou Man, who was instructing his two apprentices, "Master Zhou, my waist has been uncomfortable for the past two days. Can you take a look at it for me?"
Manbao rolled up his sleeves and let him in through the curtain on the other side. While examining him, he said, "Eunuch Wu, next time you want acupuncture, just call me from the back. Why wait for me to come to the front?"
"Oh, that won't do. That's the rule," Eunuch Wu said, not hiding the fact that he came here specifically to get some needlework done. He laughed and said, "This is in the side hall, and that's the established rule. But if this happens in the back, and people find out, all sorts of unpleasant things will get out."
Eunuch Wu's voice was barely audible, but Man Bao, who was examining his waist, heard it all the same. "There are many dirty things going on in this palace. It's better for Master Zhou not to know about them."
See you tomorrow
