Chapter 2113 Poison Technique
"The most important thing in raising a child is care. There are different ways to raise a child depending on the circumstances. I think this child will be very reborn. Just take your time and he'll be fine after the confinement period." This was Qian's experience in raising children over the years. She said, "Even the weakest child will only be able to stand on one foot after a full month. With more care, raise him for three months, then another three years. After he's eight years old, he'll be half-grown. So, you have to take it step by step. They, as parents, are anxious, but you, as a doctor, can't be impatient."
Manbao agreed, "Mom, you are really amazing."
Qian tapped her nose and said with a smile, "You little flatterer, no matter how capable I am, I only know a few basic things. How can a doctor like you know so much more?"
"That's not true," she said. "Some experiences are unique to you. What you learn from books may not be entirely correct."
Qian smiled and said, "You will understand when you become a mother."
Speaking of this, Qian frowned and looked at Manbao. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Manbao, you're not young anymore. We were thinking of finding a date for your wedding next year, which would be perfect. But you're going to that Western Region? I heard from your fourth brother that it's very far away."
Manbao said with a guilty conscience: "It's not very far actually."
"Can you come back next year?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "If everything goes well, it should be possible. If not, it's possible to stay for two more years."
Qian sighed and said, "Then the marriage will have to be postponed."
She suddenly smiled and said, "That's nothing. You two left together. Madam Liu should have a plan."
In recent years, Manbao's medical skills have become more and more sophisticated. Qian occasionally heard her talk about health preservation methods, and she also knew that it is better for girls to get married and have children later.
Didn’t you see that the Liu family kept Liu Sanniang until she was almost twenty before getting married?
Thinking of this, Qian became happy again. She took Manbao's hand and said, "Be careful when you go on a long journey. Don't go anywhere recklessly. Bring someone with you wherever you go, okay? You said that a girl, even if she is an official, can't beat a man in a fight."
Manbao nodded repeatedly.
Speaking of which, shouldn't she prepare something else that could be used if she really encountered danger? But she wasn't very familiar with poisons.
Who in the Imperial Hospital is more familiar with poisons?
It seems that I will have to ask Xiao Yuanzheng for advice after entering the palace tomorrow.
Xiao Yuanzheng nearly spit out his tea when Manbao mentioned this. He nervously glanced outside and found that no one was paying attention. Then he stepped forward to close the door and asked in a low voice, "Why are you asking this? If you ask this in the palace, others will think you are up to something if they don't know."
Man Bao said: "What are you thinking about? I am going to the Western Regions. It's dangerous along the way, so I want to make something to protect myself."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...This matter hasn't even started yet, aren't you preparing early enough?"
"Not too early, not too early. If this experiment yields results, my trip to the Western Regions will be almost certain. It's called preparing for a rainy day, you know?" Man Bao said, "This poison isn't that easy to learn. We have to learn it in advance, right?"
Dean Xiao fell silent for a moment, then said, "If you were to ask who in the Imperial Hospital has the best poison skills, or rather, the best antidote skills, it would be me."
Manbao looked at Xiao Yuanzheng in surprise.
Xiao Yuanzheng just waved his hand at her, "Don't look at me like that. I don't know how to make poison. I just know some techniques to detoxify."
That's strange, how could a detoxifier not know how to make poison?
Xiao Yuanzheng said, "I have a book at home. I can lend it to you for a few days."
Manbao's eyes lit up, and he bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Xiao Yuanzheng, you are such a kind person."
The good man Xiao Yuanzheng felt heartbroken for a moment, but... as Zhou Man said, it was too dangerous to go to the Western Regions. He could do nothing about natural disasters, but he might encounter bandits along the way, so he should still make some preparations.
She is not only the head of the Imperial Hospital, but also a rising star in the entire Dajin. Dean Xiao is reluctant to let such a talent get into trouble.
Even though sometimes he couldn't help but feel jealous of her.
After they left the palace in the evening, Xiao Yuanzheng indeed sent someone to deliver a book to Manbao. Manbao opened the book which was nicely wrapped in oil paper and was pleasantly surprised.
It is indeed written here that there is a detoxification method, but above the detoxification method there is always a detailed description of the poison, and there are also small notes next to it explaining why the detoxification should be done in this way.
She took a look and found that there was very little handwriting in Xiao Yuanzheng's handwriting, which should have been left by his ancestors.
Manbao immediately took it back to her room to copy it. At this time, she missed Bai Shan. Tomorrow she had to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to attend classes, and then go to the imperial farm to see patients. If nothing unexpected happened, they would start vaccinating tomorrow, and she would have even less time to spare.
How about going to the palace tomorrow, giving the book to Bai Shan, and asking him to help copy it?
Manbao opened the book and read while planning in his mind.
As a result, she had no chance to enter the palace the next day. When she arrived at the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Liu handed her a handwritten order, "Director Xiao asked me to give it to you. Madam Yang is ill. The Yang family and the Imperial Medical Bureau have applied for an imperial physician. Director Xiao wants you to go and see her."
Manbao took the warrant and couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong with her? Last time I went to Lord Yang's house, it was very lively. She was the one entertaining the guests."
Doctor Liu shook his head. "You'll know if you go and take a look."
He said, "It's not an emergency, we can go today."
Manbao took the warrant and said, "Then let's go in the afternoon. After class, we still have to go to the imperial farm to vaccinate people."
Doctor Liu's brows twitched, and he smiled and reminded, "Don't tell them where you're from when you go see a doctor."
Otherwise, you will get sick even if you are not sick.
Manbao responded, "I won't say that specifically."
After class, Manbao rushed to the imperial farm. Xiao Yuanzheng and Doctor Lu were already there. After they had examined twelve patients, they saw her and said, "You can take a look too. If there are no problems, we will vaccinate you today."
Manbao responded and went to check their bodies.
After five days of recuperation, their complexions became much rosier than before. Although they had some hidden illnesses due to the torture, they were not serious problems.
Manbao nodded and agreed to get vaccinated today.
So the three of them put on masks and went into the pharmacy to get their medicine.
The scabs used were collected from No. 2 and No. 3. After they were prepared, they were stuffed into their noses and marked.
It was already mid-afternoon when they finished. Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at the sky and said, "I'll be on duty tonight. You can go back first. Doctor Zhou, don't forget you still have an outpatient appointment."
Man Bao agreed, then looked at Doctor Lu, "Doctor Lu, let's go together."
Doctor Lu said sullenly, "I'm on duty at the Imperial Hospital tonight, so I'm going back to sleep now."
Manbao almost forgot about this matter. He looked at him sympathetically and went to change. He changed into clean clothes and shoes and left.
See you at 9pm
