Chapter 1974 Takes Effect
On the contrary, what Zhou Man said made more sense. He probably thought that the Imperial Hospital had the ability to straighten the crooked leg, so he wanted to use it to harm him, the prince, or Zhou Man as well.
But Zhou Man is from Chongwenguan. Who in the court doesn’t know that Zhou Man is his man?
Bringing Zhou Man back, there are plenty of ways to bring him back.
However, the prince is not as angry as before. Perhaps it is because Prince Gong failed to gain what he wanted this time, or maybe it is because he has become more open-minded?
Although the Crown Prince was dissatisfied with his father's words in his heart, his face showed little expression. He simply agreed calmly and then said, "Father, although Xiao Yuanzheng was guilty of negligence, the root cause lies with my third brother. If a patient is determined to conceal his condition, it would be difficult for the doctor to know the truth unless he is a reincarnated immortal."
The emperor frowned and replied calmly, "I will handle it as appropriate."
The prince didn't say much, but at the end he couldn't help but say, "If Third Brother really can't be cured this time, I'll have someone go to Baiyun Temple to light an eternal lamp and pray for him."
The emperor gritted his teeth when he heard this, "Get out!"
The prince rolled away, rolled into the outer room, and sat on the couch to wait for the result.
Manbao and his aunt helped the queen take the medicine, and then Manbao began to give the queen acupuncture with needles.
A quarter of an hour later, she pulled out the needle and the medical assistant brought the prepared ointment. Manbao took a piece of the ointment and put it on his hand, then began to prepare the ointment from the medicine jar.
The ointment was still warm at this time. Manbao found the acupuncture point and applied it to the queen. He only applied it twice and said, "Keep applying until tomorrow morning. Your Majesty is tired. Take a nap."
The Queen responded softly and said to her, "You are tired today, go down and rest."
The queen knows her own body well, and she also feels that she will not be very well tonight. Now she has taken medicine and had an acupuncture, and it is estimated that she will be well for an hour, which is a good time for everyone to take a break.
Manbao thought so too, and after agreeing, he asked Doctor Liu and the medical assistant to go and rest.
They had a rest room in another side hall. Manbao occupied a small ear room in the side hall. Doctor Liu and his assistant lived together in the side hall. Doctor Zheng also lived with them. Opposite was the side hall where Prince Gong lived.
When Manbao was lying on the bed, he could still hear Prince Gong crying out in pain. Manbao curled his lips. Both bones were broken by a stick. How could it not hurt?
Fortunately, the bones are not very brittle, otherwise if they were broken...
Manbao shuddered, yawned, turned over, and fell asleep listening to the cries of pain from not far away.
The emperor and the prince stayed with the queen until it was completely dark and she fell asleep peacefully before leaving.
Manbao thought she could only sleep for an hour at most before the palace maid would come to wake her up, but she slept until the second half of the night and was only woken up by Xiao Yuanzheng, who came to replace them.
Doctor Liu was a light sleeper, and because he was worried, he didn't sleep well. He brought Xiao Yuanzheng into the room and explained in detail the medicine and acupuncture they would use tonight.
Xiao Yuanzheng was also a little surprised. He lowered his voice and asked, "Why didn't you call anyone in the first half of the night?"
"Yes, I listened to the noise, and the Queen didn't even cough."
This was beyond Xiao Yuanzheng's expectations. His eyes slid across the three prescriptions, finally settling on the medicine patch. "Is this for treating lung heat?"
"Yes, Zhou Man said it's for cough relief and lung heat treatment," Doctor Liu sighed, "I didn't expect it to be so effective."
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded, looked around, and asked, "Where's Zhou Man?"
Doctor Liu smiled and said, "I've asked the palace maid to call her. She's sleeping in the small room next door."
As they were talking, Manbao came in staggeringly with a sleepy look on her face. Xiao Yuanzheng only needed to take one look at her to know that she was not fully awake yet, her eyes were still half closed.
But young people are all like this, they sleep a lot.
Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head and whispered to the two of them, "Wash your face, let's go see the Queen together."
Manbao finally came to his senses a little and turned around to wash his face.
After washing her face, she finally woke up, so the four of them quietly went to the main hall and, under the guidance of the palace maids, quietly went in to see the queen.
The queen was not awakened. Apart from some difficulty in breathing, there was nothing wrong with her on the surface.
Basically, as long as she doesn't cough or wheeze, she should be able to sleep well.
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded slightly to the serving maid, who then stepped forward and carefully took the queen's hand out from under the thin quilt and placed it on the pulse pillow.
Dean Xiao first took the patient's pulse, then stood up and stood aside after a long time, letting Doctor Liu and others take turns.
Man Bao waited for Doctor Tan to take the Queen's pulse before he went forward to listen to her. After a long time, he stood up and nodded slightly to the head palace maid. Everyone watched her put the Queen's hand into the quilt. The Queen's eyebrows moved, as if she was about to wake up. The head palace maid then gently pressed the quilt and patted the shoulder next to her. The Queen's eyebrows relaxed again and her breathing gradually subsided.
Xiao Yuanzheng and his companions breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and retreated.
The four of them returned to the side hall to discuss the condition so as not to disturb the queen.
When they returned to the side hall, they happened to see Doctor Zheng coming back from the opposite side, looking exhausted. Dean Xiao couldn't help but stop and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Doctor Zheng said, "He was crying out in pain three or four times throughout the night. He kept asking me to give him painkillers, but taking too much painkillers is not good. I only gave him one bowl in the evening, and it's mainly to reduce the swelling."
He sighed and said, "If the palace maids hadn't persuaded the Queen to stay away and recuperate, she needed some quiet time, this palace would have been in chaos long ago."
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned slightly, then said coldly, "The Queen lives here, he won't dare to make a fuss. Don't give him too much painkillers, just one a day will be enough. The main thing is to reduce the swelling. Try to reduce the swelling within three days, and then we'll start setting the bones."
Doctor Zheng agreed and followed them into the side hall.
The eunuchs prepared writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone for them.
The four of them wrote their own pulse cases in tacit understanding. After finishing, they put them together for comparison. The four of them saw that they were mostly similar. They discussed the differences and finally decided on the most appropriate pulse case.
Dean Xiao was looking at the pulse chart in deep thought. "In that case, there's a good chance that the Madam's condition can be controlled."
Doctor Liu nodded, then looked at Zhou Man: "This plaster you gave me is very timely. Do you have any other plasters?"
Manbao said: "Not yet, but once I learn it I will study it and I should have it."
If other doctors said this, Xiao Yuanzheng and the others would definitely not believe it. Do they think that prescriptions are so easy to study?
Some doctors spend their entire lives developing their own prescriptions, and most of their work involves improving existing ones. But what Zhou Man said...
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded and encouraged, "We trust you. We can get the herbs we need from the Imperial Hospital."
Manbao happily agreed, as this would save him a lot of money.
Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at the hourglass and said to the two of them, "Alright, go back and rest. Come back in the morning to take over."
See you at 6pm
