Chapter 1977 Consensus
The emperor had already prepared himself mentally, and his expression didn't change much. He turned to look at Zhou Man and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness Prince Gong still needs to continue losing weight. However, exercise is no longer suitable now. You can only eat small meals frequently and lose weight through dieting. Otherwise, your body will be too heavy, which will put great pressure on your bones. Even the bones that have been connected may become bent again in the future."
Xiao Yuanzheng had not thought of this, because he felt that it would probably be more than ten years before Prince Gong's bones would bend again due to the stress.
However, he still expressed his agreement, believing that Prince Gong should not get any fatter.
The emperor nodded thoughtfully, his eyes moving back and forth among several people, and finally appointed Xiao Yuanzheng and Zhou Man to be responsible for Prince Gong's injury.
There was no way. As he watched, it seemed that there were still two people who were best at bone setting.
Xiao Yuanzheng and Manbao both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The emperor handed it over to the two of them, which showed that he did not suspect that Zhou Man was involved in the matter, and he was also willing to give Xiao Yuanzheng a chance to make amends.
Then they have to be careful in the next three months, at least they must make sure the bones don't grow crooked again.
Prince Gong knew nothing about this. He was now lying on the couch like a pickled dead fish. The palace maids and eunuchs carefully wiped the sweat off his face and changed his clothes. If it weren't for the occasional rise and fall of his chest, it would be almost impossible to tell that he was still alive.
The Crown Prince stood by and watched, unable to help but sneer inwardly. He turned and left immediately. Just then, he heard the Emperor assigning Xiao Yuanzheng and Zhou Man to Prince Gong, so he stepped forward and said, "Father, Zhou Man still has to see the Queen Mother and Mingda. It would be better for me to leave this to Doctor Zheng."
The emperor glanced at the prince and said, "She is also in charge of the Empress and Mingda. They are both on the way anyway, so they can just come along when they come for a consultation."
That’s settled.
Dean Xiao stood by with his eyes downcast, listening. When he led everyone back to the Imperial Hospital for dinner, he found an opportunity to be alone with Zhou Man. "You are now responsible for three masters alone, which shows how much His Majesty values you. You are unique in the Imperial Hospital. If His Majesty and I recommend you as the director..."
"That's impossible," Man Bao interrupted Xiao Yuanzheng. "Let's not even talk about His Majesty not agreeing. Even if His Majesty agreed, I wouldn't be able to convince the people in the Imperial Hospital. Xiao Yuanzheng, my experience is too shallow. Not to mention Imperial Physicians Liu and Lu, even Imperial Physicians Tan and Zheng have more experience than me."
"Besides, I don't want to be the dean."
Xiao Yuanzheng raised an eyebrow. "That's not what you said before. I've noticed you've been listless these past two days, and your attitude is quite different. What's going on? Have you had other ideas?"
After thinking about it, Manbao felt that even if Xiao Yuanzheng was stripped of his position, his prestige in the Imperial Hospital would not be diminished much. He would most likely still be her superior, and she would still have to go through him to resign in the future. So she said, "I think I will resign after a while, when these things in the palace are settled."
Xiao Yuanzheng: ...
It took him a while to find his voice, and he tried to persuade her in a gentle tone: "Are you frightened by what happened to Prince Gong this time? Don't be afraid. Not to mention the princes and daughters, even the concubines in the harem rarely resort to such self-harm. This is the only time..."
Manbao shook his head and said, "Not really. I just feel that I am still young and have many medical skills to learn and many diseases I have not seen. I want to go out and study."
She said, "Before, I was too young to go out, and I had to go to school. But now I'm a little older, and I've been an official and seen the world. Even if I go out, my parents won't worry too much."
Xiao Yuanzheng believed that she was crazy. How come she was so ambitious before and thought she could do anything, but now she was so humble in words and so arrogant in behavior.
By the way, two days ago she bypassed Doctor Lu and directly arranged for Zheng Gu and the other two, which gave Xiao Yuanzheng a headache.
He felt that the most important thing now was not to check Prince Gong's legs, but how to retain this capable subordinate.
Although he was a little indifferent when Zhou Man first entered the Imperial Hospital, over the past year or so, both sides have long been accustomed to cooperation.
Although she didn't have enough experience in the Imperial Hospital, her medical skills were recognized by the other doctors, and they had learned a lot from each other. Now that she was gone...
Dean Xiao hadn't figured out how to keep her when Man Bao asked, "Are you planning to recommend Imperial Physician Liu to take over the position of Dean?"
Dean Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. It was true. The only two doctors in the entire Imperial Hospital who had the ability and qualifications to succeed him were Doctor Liu and Doctor Lu.
Xiao Yuanzheng chose Doctor Liu out of both public interest and selfish motives.
In terms of impartiality, Doctor Liu has prestige in the Imperial Hospital and a gentle personality. He can get along well with most of the doctors. Apart from being too gentle, he has no other major problems.
Selfishly, Doctor Liu and he have a better relationship and are older. If he takes over, Xiao Yuanzheng will be able to take over in a few years.
But Doctor Lu is different. He is a few years younger than Dean Xiao and is full of ambition. If he takes over and does not make any mistakes in the future, Dean Xiao may never have the chance to return to the starting point in his life.
He also made no secret of his selfish motives and asked Zhou Man, "What do you think of Doctor Liu?"
Manbao naturally agreed. In the Imperial Medical Bureau, she cooperated the most with Doctor Liu, but her relationship with Doctor Lu was not very good. Naturally, she preferred Doctor Liu.
So the two reached a consensus.
Manbao is a sixth-rank imperial physician after all, and has some say in the Imperial Medical Bureau. If she also follows Xiao Yuanzheng in supporting Imperial Physician Liu, then this matter is almost certain.
The two sides looked at each other and temporarily decided the matter.
The Queen's condition stabilized, Prince Gong's leg was reconnected, and everyone arranged their shifts. Manbao was able to rest for a night, so she carried her medicine box back to Chongwenguan.
When she returned, it was the last class in Chongwenguan. Only in the Zhanshi Mansion in front were people walking around and doing business. The Chongwenguan in the back was quiet. She stopped and looked as she passed by. The students seemed to be concentrating on writing their papers.
She then carried the medicine box and went to the gentlemen's office next door.
The lecturers in the office were slightly surprised when they saw Manbao, then smiled and said, "Are you here to see Lecturer Zhuang?"
Manbao saluted and replied, "Yes."
The lecturers said, "Lecturer Zhuang has gone to give a lecture to the Crown Prince. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."
The lecturers warmly invited him, "Young Master Zhou, why don't you sit down and wait for a while?"
Manbao refused and planned to go back to wash up and rest. It would be the same if everyone came over after school.
The lecturers could only watch her leave with regret. They still enjoyed chatting with her, mainly because they wanted to find out about the situation in the harem.
They only vaguely heard that the Queen, Princess and Prince Gong in the palace were all sick, but except for the few days ago when the Crown Prince looked sour, he had been particularly happy in the past two days, especially today, so they found it strange.
After all, this is Chongwenguan, and they are considered to be the prince's gang, so naturally they want to know more.
Unfortunately, Manbao didn't give them this opportunity and left after saying goodbye.
The day before yesterday was my birthday, and my fellow book friends raised funds for a Silver Alliance for me. It was the first time I received such a surprise, and I was very happy and grateful for the support of so many book friends.
