Chapter 1819 Busy (February Monthly Ticket Plus 6)
The eunuchs and palace maids had already been guarding Prince Gong's table. Upon hearing this, they tremblingly took Zhou Man to see it.
Zhou Man, who had inquired about what Prince Gong had eaten, said: ...
Manbao immediately turned around to find Doctor Liu and asked, "Did you have an upset stomach?"
Imperial Physician Liu just started to speak, "Prince Gong is overeating..."
The two exchanged glances, then continued, "Prince Gong had been eating in moderation before, but suddenly he overate, and his stomach couldn't handle it, so..."
But I felt relieved. As long as he wasn't poisoned, the rest would not be a big deal.
The emperor never shed tears. To save face for his son, he drove most of the people out, even the crown prince. Only the emperor, empress, and Prince Gong's wife and children were left in the room.
Manbao and Doctor Liu hurriedly started treating the patient. Doctor Liu turned around to look for pills. Well, the Imperial Hospital had emergency pills.
Manbao took out a needle and gave him the injection to relieve the pain and induce vomiting.
Manbao said to the palace maid, "Bring the basin."
As soon as the palace maid brought it over, Prince Gong turned around and vomited.
The emperor sat aside and patted Prince Gong on the back without any disgust. The queen sighed and also came forward to help.
After Prince Gong vomited, his chest felt much better, but his stomach still hurt.
Doctor Liu handed over a pill and said, "This is a digestive aid, a hawthorn pill. It's delicious. Your Highness, please try it."
Prince Gong: ...
He took the pill, put it in his mouth and chewed it. The sour, sweet and bitter taste instantly exploded on the tip of his tongue. It was so disgusting.
Manbao continued to give him acupuncture to relieve the pain. After two quarters of an hour, Prince Gong's stomach rumbled for a while, but the pain was gone.
Manbao pulled out the needle and looked at Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu took Prince Gong's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "I'll just prescribe two more doses of medicine for your Highness. Your Highness, please don't eat any more greasy or meaty foods. Well, at least not for the next ten days."
Prince Gong lay in his father's arms, looking as if he had lost all desire to live.
The little grandson, only three or four years old, ran forward, took his father's hand and said, "Father, you must listen to the doctor's advice."
The emperor nodded in agreement.
The Empress glared at the Emperor, while Princess Gong glared at Prince Gong and complained in a low voice, "I told you to eat less..."
The emperor was a little embarrassed and quickly asked the eunuchs and palace maids to clean up Prince Gong and then send the family of three back to rest.
Manbao and Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, with sweat breaking out on their backs. As soon as they walked out of the inner hall, they saw the prince and Mingda Changyu waiting outside.
The prince only raised his eyelids and glanced at the two of them. When he saw the emperor and the queen come out, he stood up and saluted. Then he pretended to be concerned and asked about the third brother's condition. When he learned that there was no problem, he was slightly disappointed.
Mingda and Changyu breathed a sigh of relief. After the emperor, empress and prince went to the front, they pulled Manbao aside to have a private talk.
Just then, another eunuch came to see them and said that a prince was drunk and fell while changing his clothes, so he asked Doctor Liu to take a look.
Doctor Liu thought for a moment and realized there were probably quite a few people drinking tonight, and it wasn't that close to get here from the Imperial Hospital. So he said to Zhou Man, "You should find a side room to rest. We'll stay here until the palace banquet is over. We need to check on His Majesty and the Empress later."
Manbao agreed, and after Doctor Liu left, he and Mingda Changyu walked to the side hall hand in hand.
With two princesses present, the internal supervisor certainly could not arrange an ear room for them, so he directly found a room for them in the side hall.
As soon as the three of them sat down, eunuchs and palace maids brought them tea and snacks.
Manbao asked, "Why don't you go forward?"
"We're waiting to see the fireworks," Chang Yu said. "If we hadn't stayed up all night praying for the country, we would have gone to bed long ago. The people up ahead are either drinking or flattering and making witty remarks. It's not fun at all. While you're here, let's talk."
Mingda nodded and asked Manbao, "How is Third Brother?"
"He's fine, he just has an upset stomach." Manbao said, "Luckily the food in the imperial kitchen is relatively clean, otherwise he would easily have an intestinal obstruction if he ate so much."
Manbao lowered his voice and said, "Intestinal obstruction will be extremely painful."
Chang Yu was startled and asked, "Are you telling the truth or not?"
"Of course it's true. I wouldn't lie." Manbao said, "So don't overeat like him in the future."
Changyu and Mingda couldn't help but murmur, "We wouldn't do that."
Changyu suddenly remembered something and whispered to Manbao, "Have you seen Li Yunfeng's horse?"
Manbao shook his head.
Chang Yu said with a sigh, "She's quite good-looking. I didn't expect the Empress Dowager would choose such a good-looking county horse for her."
Mingda was helpless, "Sister!"
"I know, I know. I'll just tell you guys and won't tell anyone else." Chang Yu asked Man Bao, "I heard she's pregnant. Did you find out?"
Manbao thought for a moment and then lowered his voice and said, "You'd better stay away from her recently, especially Changyu. Don't get too close to her."
Chang Yu tilted his head, "What's wrong?"
Manbao said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's just that when you're pregnant it's not advisable to get too close to others, otherwise it would be bad if something bumps into you."
Changyu and Mingda were not fools. They understood at a glance that Li Yunfeng's pregnancy might not be a good one.
Doctor Liu was right. The two of them were indeed very busy that night, and the two medical assistants they brought with them were also busy as well.
This prince fell down drunk, that prince also got drunk, this princess caught a cold, that young prince got scared...
The emperor also had a headache after drinking too much, and even the queen felt sleepy and a little uncomfortable.
While treating patients, Manbao opened the medicine box and took out various emergency pills to stuff into people's mouths. Most of them were pills for digestion and hangover relief. They cost ten cents each and were fair to everyone. However, the medicinal materials used in the palace would be better.
For example, hawthorn is bigger?
Anyway, no one who takes the pills fails to feel that they are effective. Usually, after taking a pill, they either wake up from the sourness or the bitterness.
After midnight, fireworks bloomed in the sky. Manbao and Doctor Liu watched the fireworks with the royal family for quarter of an hour, and then they went back to their homes. Manbao and Doctor Liu stayed at the end and waited until there were no more patients left before going back.
Doctor Liu sighed and said, "Go to sleep quickly. You have to attend the imperial court tomorrow morning."
Manbao agreed and returned to her small room. She locked the doors and windows and fell asleep. It felt like she had just closed her eyes for a while when she was woken up. Then she changed into a brand new official uniform, put on her official hat, and went to the square in front of the Taiji Hall to queue up.
The emperor was even more tired than them because he had to offer sacrifices to heaven and his ancestors today.
Of course, he is the Son of Heaven, and his ancestor is Heaven, so offering sacrifices to Heaven is equivalent to offering sacrifices to ancestors.
The Crown Prince followed him and led a group of important officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, while minor officials such as Manbao waited in the square in front of the Taiji Hall for the emperor to return.
See you tomorrow
