Chapter 2388 Come in
Eunuch Tong actually had a way to get in, and it wasn't difficult.
Imperial Physician Liu had just gone out with two letters in the morning when Eunuch Tong and Eunuch Xiao Tong came in in the afternoon carrying two bundles.
The steward who brought them in, along with Doctor Lu and Zhou Man, introduced them, saying, "These two are here to help in the kitchen."
Doctor Lu: ...We all work in the palace, and the Imperial Medical Bureau has a lot of dealings with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can they not know each other?
Doctor Lu turned to look at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man had never seen Tong Nei Shi before, because she didn't have to do miscellaneous work like purchasing for the Imperial Hospital, and Tong Nei Shi rarely went there, so naturally she didn't know her.
But the little eunuch looked very familiar to Manbao.
The eunuch Tong and the little eunuch Tong bowed respectfully to the two of them, and without saying a few words, they took their bags and went into the house to settle down.
Even though Tong Nei Shi was demoted to a farm and moved into an epidemic area, he still lived better than ordinary people.
The young eunuch put the luggage away and turned around to make the bed for the young eunuch.
Tong Nei Shi waved his hand and said, "No hurry, let's go see Doctor Zhou first."
Manbao was standing in the yard at this time. Doctor Lu was already sitting on a chair, drinking a cup of tea while looking at her.
The eunuch Tong and the younger eunuch Tong came out and saluted her, calling her with a smile, "Imperial Physician Zhou."
Manbao nodded, looked at Tong Nei Shi's expression, and asked, "Tong Nei Shi gave me the handkerchief just to ask for medical treatment?"
She asked directly, and Tong Nei Shi also answered directly, smiling and saying "yes".
Manbao pointed to the living room and said, "Eunuch Tong, please sit down. I'll show you around."
Eunuch Tong didn't expect that Gu Zhong was so concerned. It was just a handkerchief, so she even asked Doctor Liu to pass on the message to him.
Tong the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had already owed the favor. Well, let their grudge be over now, regardless of whether Zhou Man could cure him or not.
Manbao reached out to feel his pulse, and then felt the temperature of his hands and feet. Sure enough, there was no warmth at all. They felt ice cold, like holding a piece of ice.
Man Bao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "For this disease, taking too much medicine will only cause toxicity, which will lead to other diseases and that will be bad."
The eunuch beside him nodded repeatedly and said, "That's what Imperial Physician Liu said. My godfather always felt a burning sensation in his chest after taking the medicine, and his cough became even worse."
Therefore, Tong Nei Shi did not dare to drink too much medicine. He just had a cold and coughed only occasionally, which was not very serious.
If heat and toxins accumulated in his body, and his cough made people think he had tuberculosis, then he wouldn't be able to go to the palace, let alone the imperial farm, and he would probably be sent directly to the epidemic prevention center.
Once the eunuchs and palace maids entered the quarantine center, they were basically as good as dead.
Man Bao nodded slightly. "Reducing the dosage is the right thing to do. Let me think about it carefully. How about this? I'll prescribe you a bath with acupuncture. It should give you some relief."
Manbao asked Jiulan to get paper and pen to write the prescription.
Doctor Lu came over and asked, "Doctor Zhou, do you have any medicine?"
Manbao was stunned as she held the pen in her hand. The medicine she needed was not available here. She looked at Tong Nei Shi.
The eunuch Tong also frowned. He had already come in and obviously couldn't leave. What was worse was that even the little eunuch Tong couldn't leave...
Eunuch Tong thought for a moment and then smiled, "Doctor Zhou, just write the prescription. I'll figure out the medicine myself."
Doctor Lu snorted coldly and said, "Throw money at it. With three checkpoints, even if Eunuch Tong brought enough treasures from the palace, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold out for long, right?"
Manbao wrote down the prescription and looked up, saying, "It's okay. Just give me the money and I'll ask my fifth brother to send it out to you. Then you can buy some rice, flour, sugar, meat, etc. and ask the kitchen to make snacks for you to give to the guards guarding the checkpoint."
Manbao said: "They are very cute. As long as they are not sending anything out, they are very lax in checking the things sent in."
The purpose of their existence was to prevent smallpox from spreading outside the imperial farm, not to isolate the farm.
When Tong Nei Shi heard this, he immediately thanked Zhou Man.
Doctor Lu: ...
He glanced at Zhou Man coldly, snorted and turned away. He was really a hopeless case of not being able to carve up a good person.
Manbao looked puzzled, but he quickly smiled at Tong Nei Shi who was watching him and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Doctor Lu is not targeting you. He is just old. He will be fine in a few years."
Tong, who had become an instinctive judge of people's expressions, stared at Zhou Man. After a moment, he smiled and asked, "Doctor Zhou, do you mean that Doctor Lu is ill?"
Man Bao nodded. "This disease is difficult to cure. You have to go along with the other person and try your best to please him. If things don't go your way at work or in life, you'll easily become irritable. Dean Xiao had it before, but he recovered quickly. It's just that Doctor Lu's condition lasted a little longer."
Ever since she met Doctor Lu, his temper has never been good.
At first she thought he hated her and didn't like to associate with him for a while, but later when she had to associate with him, she found that he just had a bad temper. Manbao consulted many classics and finally determined that he was just old and he would be fine after this period.
Manbao copied the prescription again, gave one copy to Tong Nei Shi to keep, folded the other copy and put it in his purse for Jiulan, "Give it to Xi Bing, and have her deliver it with fried rice cakes tomorrow morning."
Jiulan agreed with a smile and said, "Madam, we will eat fried rice cakes tomorrow. What will we eat the day after tomorrow?"
Manbao sighed, "It seems like it's the turn of osmanthus cake. I don't really like osmanthus cake, but there is no other choice at the moment, so let's eat osmanthus cake."
Doctor Lu came over with a medicine box and called to her, "Don't think about food. Someone just came to report that someone inside has a fever and is confused."
When Manbao heard this, he immediately dropped his pen, stood up, rushed out and shouted to the next yard, "Xibing, quickly bring me my medicine box."
Xibing ran over with the medicine box.
Manbao took it, put on a mask, and hurried into the ward area with Doctor Lu. Xibing, Jiulan and the others were not allowed to come in here.
The patient with a high fever was patient number 121, who had five pimples. But when Doctor Lu pulled down his clothes, he found that he had pimples on his chest as well.
Manbao rolled up his arm and saw that there were more than a dozen red spots on his arm.
The two looked at each other and were both a little shocked. They were very familiar with this situation. This was the malignant smallpox.
Seeing that he was already twitching, Manbao immediately opened the medicine box and took out the needle bag to give him an acupuncture. Doctor Lu also quickly ordered the attendants, "Go to the pharmacy immediately, get the medicine bag on the first row of shelves on the left, and boil a prescription and bring it over."
Then he took out a pill, looked at his expression, dissolved the pill, and fed it directly to him.
Doctor Lu glanced at Zhou Man and ordered, "Go get some cold water."
I can only use cold water to cool him down slightly. He is now having a fever and convulsions.
See you at 9pm
