Chapter 1895 Sadness
When Manbao came out of the house, Prince Gong had already put on his clothes and was lying on the couch, looking as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
Mingda and Changyu immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "How is my third brother?"
Manbao's face was filled with sadness, and he said with deep regret, "His Royal Highness Prince Gong...his lower leg was fractured."
"Ah?" Mingda's face was filled with anger, and he said angrily, "Prince brother, you are going too far."
Manbao shook his head even more sadly and said, "It wasn't broken while sparring with His Highness. It was broken when His Highness Prince Gong kicked the table."
Mingda and Changyu: ...
Mingda then remembered that his third brother had followed them up from the mountain gate early this morning.
Breaking bones at this time is a serious injury. Mingda was very worried, "What should we do? Will Third Brother be lame in the future?"
Manbao said, "I felt it, and the bones are not misaligned, and the fracture is not too severe. As long as he doesn't move around for the next two months, he won't be lame. He will definitely be able to recover to the same condition as before."
To be on the safe side, Manbao paid points to have Keke scan it carefully. The broken bone was not dislocated and was even partially adhered. However, if he moved any more, the bone would definitely break and dislocate.
Manbao looked at Mingda and Changyu seriously and said, "You two can comfort His Royal Highness Prince Gong and tell him to be careful, otherwise he will really become lame."
Mingda nodded with a slightly pale face.
The two of them immediately went in to see Prince Gong. Manbao ordered the palace servants to find some wooden boards. She wanted to fix Prince Gong's legs and then start treatment after carrying him back to the palace.
She didn't have enough medicine.
After everyone left, Bai Shan glanced at the two princesses who were talking to Prince Gong in the room, and lowered his voice to ask Man Bao, "Why did Prince Gong lose his composure like this?"
Manbao clutched his hands nervously and whispered, "The Crown Prince and I were both angry. I never expected that Prince Gong, who usually seemed treacherous and tolerant, would explode all of a sudden."
It exploded, and I was actually injured.
If you get angry, at most your liver and qi will be damaged. That thing is inside the body, who else can see it except the imperial physician?
But it's different when the wound is on the body. Man Bao said, "I can already imagine how much punishment I will receive when I return to the capital."
Bai Shan also became worried. Prince Gong's leg had been broken earlier and later, and it happened to break when Manbao was treating him. Regardless of whether she was right or wrong, she could not escape the crime of dereliction of duty.
Bai Shan quietly glanced inside the room and lowered his voice, saying, "Before your crime gets any worse, try to calm Prince Gong's anger. At least ask him not to accuse you of something when he returns to Beijing."
Manbao said with a sad face, "How can we ease this? We've always been at loggerheads. If I try to please the person I just angered, do you think it will ease the situation?"
Bai Shan frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Impossible."
Manbao was about to cry. This was the first time she had made such a big mistake since she became an imperial physician. As expected, Teacher Mo was right. As a doctor, one must have a good relationship with the patients. If that was not possible, then one should be impartial and just do what should be done.
The reason why she is in trouble today is that she did something she shouldn't have done and was biased.
Seeing her like this, Bai Shan sighed and said, "Heal his wounds first. Don't make him angry for the next two days. I will go find the Imperial Guards and ask them to prepare a carriage for Prince Gong."
Since reconciliation is no longer possible, the only thing we can do is try to minimize the anger that may accumulate in Prince Gong.
Fortunately, they still have two days. After two days, his anger should have subsided a little, right?
Bai Erlang, who was standing by, scratched his head and asked, "What were the Crown Prince and Prince Gong arguing about just now? Why did it get so bad?"
Bai Shan also looked at Man Bao.
Manbao sighed and whispered a brief account of what had just happened. He then said, "I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious. The last sentence he said was more like a scolding of himself than a scolding of Prince Gong. I wonder what he was thinking about."
Bai Shan became thoughtful. He comforted Man Bao and said, "You go and treat Prince Gong first. I'll go and arrange the carriage."
Manbao nodded sadly. Seeing Bai Erlang go with Bai Shan, he sighed deeply, turned around and went back to the house to face Prince Gong.
Prince Gong's expression softened as he said to his two sisters, "It's nothing serious. It's a rare opportunity to leave the palace, so go and have fun as you please."
Chang Yu had been taken care of by Prince Gong since she was a child. Tears came to her eyes when she heard this. She took Prince Gong's hand and said, "Third brother, let's stay here with you."
Prince Gong didn't want them to accompany him. When they were around, he had to endure the pain and deal with it. When they were not around, he could lose his temper whenever he wanted. Why would he have so many concerns?
Therefore, he objected vigorously and said to Mingda, whose eyes were red, "You are not in good health. This time I left the palace to relax you. My injury is not serious. You should go out and have fun."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Man, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Besides, isn't Doctor Zhou still here?"
Mingda and Changyu looked back at Manbao together.
Manbao was thinking about how to treat Prince Gong's injury. Seeing the three of them looking at her, she nodded and said, "You guys go and have fun. I'm here for Prince Gong."
Mingda hesitated for a moment before standing up.
Manbao then went out with them and said to the two eunuchs who were standing trembling beside them, "I just want to prepare something. Come out and I will tell you to get it."
Neither of the two eunuchs dared to look up at Prince Gong, and they just followed Manbao out.
Manbaotete pulled Mingda aside and asked, "Are you short of help? Do you want to take these two eunuchs with you?"
Mingda looked over and saw that these were the young eunuchs assigned to her third brother when he was confined to the harem. She seldom saw them and they probably only ran errands and delivered things outside.
Although she didn't know what happened in the house, judging from the noise and the fact that Manbao didn't even let them in, she must have let them see that her third brother was in a very bad condition.
If it was the Crown Prince, she wouldn't be too worried. Even if they saw the Crown Prince's ugly behavior, at most they would be transferred to another palace. But Third Brother...
They are afraid that they will be dealt with under some pretext.
Mingda has always been attentive and considerate. Seeing the pleading look in Manbao's eyes, she sighed and nodded, "Third brother is injured and needs a few more caring people around him. I'll transfer two people from my side. These two people will go to my place and listen to my instructions."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief, took Mingda's hand and said, "Thank you very much."
Mingda laughed and said, "Why is it so?"
She thought of something, her smile paused, and she took Manbao's hand: "When we return to the palace, I will go with you to see the emperor."
Manbao thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it. If you go, His Majesty might get even angrier."
