Chapter 1814 Interview
Manbao started to think, "Then I need to change my needlework. The weather is so cold now, and it would be bad if I get blown by a cold wind by accident."
Doctor Liu nodded, "By the way, remember to give the Queen Mother medical instructions, telling her not to get too much wind and not to overwork."
"But didn't you just say that the Queen Mother would attend the palace banquet?"
Doctor Liu said, "That's why I asked you to give specific medical advice." So that if there is a problem, both of them can know clearly that it is not because their medical skills are not good, but because you patients and their families do not follow the doctor's advice.
Do you think it’s so easy to be an imperial physician?
Manbao accepted the advice and nodded repeatedly.
Doctor Liu said, "The prescription needs to be changed. We have to leave someone on duty at the Imperial Hospital, so you can prescribe it yourself. If you are not sure, don't prescribe it yet. Bring the pulse record back and discuss it with me."
Manbao knew that he was afraid that she would prescribe the wrong medicine. After all, the empress dowager's body was in a state of great distress. She couldn't afford to take too much medicine, but it wouldn't be good either if she took too little.
Every time he went downstairs, Xiao Yuanzheng would discuss matters with the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital for a long time.
When Manbao arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace carrying a medicine box and a medical assistant, Princess Yunfeng and the others had just stopped crying and were supporting the Empress Dowager as she walked slowly around the palace.
When she suddenly met Zhou Man, the smile on Princess Yunfeng's face fell.
Manbao ignored her and led the medical assistant to respectfully pay his respects to the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother smiled and excused them from the ceremony, he bowed slightly to Prince Xinqing and Princess Yunfeng, "Your Majesty, I am here to give you an acupuncture injection and change your dressing."
The Queen Mother nodded, took Princess Yunfeng's hand and turned back to the inner room.
Princess Yunfeng hadn't expected that Zhou Man would be the one treating the Empress Dowager. She couldn't understand why, "Grandmother, why is Zhou Man treating you? Where is Dean Xiao?"
The Queen Mother remained silent, so the head maid beside her smiled and explained, "Princess, Imperial Physician Zhou's medical skills are also very good. And since Your Majesty wants acupuncture, he is naturally the most suitable doctor."
We can’t let Xiao Yuanzheng see the phoenix body, right?
Princess Yunfeng asked, "Didn't they say that the female doctor in the palace also learned acupuncture?"
The palace maid said, "Dr. Liu and Dr. Xiao both followed suit, but they only had less time to learn, so they can't compare to Dr. Zhou."
Although the Queen Mother also accepted the acupuncture treatment by Doctor Liu, the palace maid knew that the Queen Mother actually agreed more with Zhou Man's treatment.
However, the older the Empress Dowager got, the more stubborn she became. She was not willing to say it herself, nor did she allow them to say it, so she would accept whoever the Imperial Medical Service assigned to her.
But the palace maid felt that it was one thing for the Queen Mother to feel uncomfortable, but it was another thing for her to be threatened by Princess Yunfeng.
It happened that Nanny Dou was not at home today, so the head palace maid replied to Princess Yunfeng directly, neither softly nor harshly.
The Queen Mother was silent the entire time. Zhou Man, who was following behind the Queen Mother and Princess Yunfeng, was also silent. However, she still couldn't help but complain to Keke in her heart: "Can they avoid me when they say bad things about me?"
Talking about it in front of her, doesn't she have any dignity?
Koko said, "Aren't I saying something nice about you?"
Manbao thought about it and realized that it was true. At least the palace maid was praising her medical skills, and the empress dowager also agreed.
So Manbao's mood improved again. After the empress dowager sat down, he walked up to her with the medicine box and smiled at her.
Queen Mother: ...
Manbao took out the pulse pillow and said to the Queen Mother very gently, "Is your Majesty feeling unwell today?"
The Queen Mother found her smiling face a little dazzling, so she said with a sullen face, "My chest feels stuffy, and I feel a little weak and sleepy."
Manbao nodded repeatedly, feeling her pulse and observing her complexion, then said, "Madam, can I see your tongue?"
The Queen Mother asked her to look, and Manbao smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll change your acupuncture method today. I'll come back to give you moxibustion in the afternoon."
Originally, there was no moxibustion with medicine, but since she recognized her medical skills, she would take the trouble to make the empress dowager more comfortable.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly.
Manbao looked at Prince Xinqing and Princess Yunfeng.
Prince Xinqing realized that Zhou Man was going to give the empress dowager an acupuncture treatment, so he quickly stood up and took his leave with a red face.
Princess Yunfeng didn't leave, but instead hugged the Queen Mother's arm and said, "Grandmother, can I stay with you?"
The Queen Mother frowned, not wanting her to stay, but seeing her hugging her arms tightly, she sighed and nodded, "Then stay."
The head maid lowered the curtain and went in to help the empress dowager undress.
Manbao sat outside the curtain, opened the medicine box, took out the needle bag, and then looked at Princess Yunfeng.
After Princess Yunfeng lowered the curtain, she looked at Zhou Man. Seeing that she finally looked at her, she raised her chin at her provocatively.
Manbao looked at her expression, then began to look her up and down. After a moment, he closed the medicine box and raised his eyebrows slightly at her.
Princess Yunfeng was furious when she received her provocation!
Manbao hummed softly and raised his chin to look at her.
The palace maid standing outside the curtain felt sweat on her forehead as she watched the two of them staring at each other.
Manbao glanced at her waist again, and when he heard the sound from inside the curtain, he stood up and went inside to give the empress dowager acupuncture.
Princess Yunfeng stood up and wanted to go in. The palace maid guarding outside the curtain wanted to stop her, but after being glared at, she had no choice but to let her in.
Princess Yunfeng lifted the curtain and walked in. The Queen Mother frowned slightly when she saw her and asked, "You're fine outside. What are you doing here?"
Princess Yunfeng said, "Grandmother, let me accompany you."
Manbao had already taken out the needle. He glanced at Princess Yunfeng and said, "Princess, you should get some more rest."
Princess Yunfeng said seriously, "Doctor Zhou, just focus on treating the Empress Dowager. We don't need you to get involved in the affairs of the royal family."
Manbao glanced at her again. He didn't want to pay attention to her, but this went against what he had learned from Teacher Mo. He tried to hold it in, but couldn't help asking, "Is the princess pregnant?"
Princess Yunfeng was startled. "What?"
"I see the princess looks unwell, perhaps she is tired from the journey, and she looks like she is about to have a miscarriage."
The Queen Mother's face changed when she heard this. She didn't care about the acupuncture anymore and immediately said to Zhou Man, "Take a look at her."
Princess Yunfeng subconsciously said, "I don't want her to see it."
Manbao also nodded and said to the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty, I'm not as good as Imperial Physician Liu in preserving the fetus. Why don't you ask Imperial Physician Liu to come and help Princess Yunfeng?"
The Queen Mother frowned. She didn't think Zhou Man's medical skills were inferior to Doctor Liu's. She thought that she was saying this for Zhou Quan's sake because Princess Yunfeng resisted her. So she sighed and said, "Okay, come, ask Doctor Liu to come over."
Someone then helped Princess Yunfeng down to rest, and only then did the room behind the curtain become quiet.
Only then did Manbao give the empress dowager acupuncture with satisfaction.
The Queen Mother, however, did not seem very reassured and could not help asking Zhou Man, "Is Yunfeng's pregnancy not looking good?"
Man Bao said, "My Lady, I only saw this from the pulse. I didn't feel it, so I don't know the situation yet."
The Queen Mother nodded slowly and asked, "In your opinion, how long has she been pregnant?"
"It shouldn't be long," Manbao said vaguely, "We still need to take his pulse and do a medical consultation to confirm, but it won't be long."
Otherwise the waist wouldn’t be so thin.
See you at 9pm
