Chapter 2431 I'll Take You Secretly
"Who can I ask?"
Manbao urged him, "Why don't you ask Lord Gu? Don't you have a good relationship with him?"
Xiao Yuanzheng immediately glanced outside nervously and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. How can we be close?"
But Xiao Yuanzheng still paid attention.
He looked up and saw Zhou Man was still there, so he waved and said, "Alright, alright, go out and see how many people need medical help today. Get things done quickly so everyone can go home."
He said, "It's rare for everyone in the Imperial Hospital to receive an award. They'll definitely go home early to celebrate today. The imperial edict will be issued this afternoon, so you have to go back to receive it, right?"
When Manbao heard this, he immediately did not dare to delay and went out to look at the list submitted to the Imperial Medical Bureau. There were also palace maids and eunuchs outside who had come to invite the imperial physician.
As soon as she came out, Doctor Zheng immediately made room for her and said, "Concubine Yang in the palace is ill, and Concubine Yan De and Concubine Zheng Xian are also feeling unwell. Which one do you want to take over?"
Manbao directly pointed to Yang Guifei and said, "I'll go see the two princesses."
Yang Guifei lived close to the empress and had a good relationship with the princesses. When going to see her, one could take a detour to visit Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu.
Doctor Zheng took out a few more lists and said, "There are also doctors out there. The son of Minister Han fell and broke his leg, and they want a bone-setting doctor. Well, this doctor isn't suitable for you. And the wife of the Duke of Pi is also ill, and no one has seen her. His house is not far from yours, would you like to go and see him?"
Manbao: "Do I still need to see an outpatient?"
She has accepted orders from the palace.
Doctor Zheng said, "We don't have enough doctors. The director brought back a lot of data, and you just summarized it roughly. We still need to archive it."
Manbao thought about it and didn't want to leave the palace and then go back in.
Doctor Zheng probably knew this, so he said, "You can go see the doctor today and again tomorrow. We can ask the Duke of Pi's Mansion to issue a new order, and then we can file both pulse records together."
Manbao glanced at Xiao Yuanzheng's office quietly and asked, "Is this okay?"
Doctor Zheng: "...Yes, after all, it's not easy to enter and leave the palace, and it takes a long time. Unless it's a serious illness, it's not a big deal. Since you've accepted the external consultation, would you like to take the order from the Duke of Zhao's mansion as well?"
Manbao asked: "The Duke's wife of their family?"
"No," Doctor Zheng said after taking a look at her, "She's the wife of their prince."
Manbao raised his eyebrows and said "yo" in a raised tone, but no one knew what he was saying.
Doctor Zheng smiled. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital knew that the trouble Zhou Man suffered when he went to Duke Zhao's mansion last time was mostly caused by the Crown Prince's wife. After all, Duke Zhao's wife was ill, and the Crown Prince's wife was the one who made the decisions in their family.
Manbao took the two orders, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go check them out."
Manbao went to see Yang Guifei first. She had caught a cold. Since she followed the queen, she usually liked to ask Doctor Liu for help. Later, she followed the trend and liked to ask Zhou Man for help.
Later, whenever Zhou Man was in the palace, she would invite Zhou Man, even more frequently than the Queen invited Man Bao, so Man Bao was quite familiar with her.
As soon as he felt her pulse, Manbao knew why she had been sick since March. To put it bluntly, it was because she had a poor appetite, poor diet, and insufficient yang energy.
So Manbao asked her to go out and bask in the sun every morning and evening. "The sun isn't very strong now, especially in the morning. It's very warm. After breakfast, take a wooden couch and lie down in the sun. Sunbathe your back for four or five days, and your disease will be cured."
Yang Guifei and her maids were stunned when they heard this. "No need to take medicine?"
Manbao took into consideration her poor appetite and that she could hardly eat anything after taking the medicine, so he said, "I'll prescribe some medicinal food for you, mostly porridge. Don't take the medicine first. I'll give you a few acupunctures, and the rest will wait for you to bask in the sun."
He also reminded me: "Remember, the sun is just before noon. In the afternoon, wait until after noon to avoid getting a tan."
Manbao left her a recipe for medicinal food and a menu of dishes to eat. She said, "Sometimes eating well is more effective than taking medicine."
Yang Guifei nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply. She just didn't like taking medicine.
Manbao was giving Yang Guifei acupuncture and had just pulled out the needle when Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu came running over hand in hand after hearing the news.
Yang Guifei put on her clothes and smiled when she saw them: "Go and have fun, don't worry about me."
After saying that, seeing Manbao's serious face, he said a little guiltily: "I will eat well."
Manbao then nodded, put away his medicine box and went to talk to Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu in private.
After the two princesses and Manbao exchanged greetings, they had only one goal in mind. "We heard from Bai Er that you guys will host a banquet to celebrate Bai Shan's knighthood after he passes the civil service exam? Since you've been knighted too, do you want to join them in the banquet?"
Manbao nodded as a matter of course: "Of course."
Princess Mingda said, "Then please treat us."
Manbao: "I invite you, can you go?"
Chang Yu said, "Mingda and I will go and ask the Queen Mother, and then Mingda will ask the Emperor Father. It will definitely be possible."
Manbao was puzzled, "You are still in mourning."
Mingda and Changyu, who were eager to go out and play, froze for a moment. Only then did they remember this incident and felt a little discouraged and guilty.
They seem too unfilial.
Manbao coughed lightly and whispered, "If you come out quietly, I can take you to my house quietly."
She said, "I just found out that last year Grandma Liu built a greenhouse on the edge of the back garden. In the winter, the windows were sealed from the outside, so it was very warm inside. Now in spring, the wooden bars have been removed and the windows are open, one by one. It looks particularly beautiful and private. Normally, no one goes there. When the time comes, I'll have someone set up a table in that corner, and we can eat by ourselves without anyone knowing."
Mingda hesitated, but Changyu was very moved and kept pulling Mingda's sleeve to look at her.
Man Bao said, "We don't drink, so it can't be considered a banquet. My family is short of money, so we certainly won't hire actors. At most, we'll invite a storyteller to tell stories, and you can just choose not to listen. It's just a normal meal, so it can't be considered entertainment."
Mingda said, "I have to ask my father and mother."
The emperor agreed. He felt sorry for his daughters and thought they had been cooped up for the past two years. Because of the mourning period, the number of times they left the palace could be counted on one hand. In the past, they would invite a few friends into the palace to play, but in the past two years, they didn't even invite their friends.
The emperor didn't say it, but he kept it in his heart, fearing that his daughters would be bored.
But he himself said that he would observe the full 27 months of mourning, and even the prince had been observing it for the past two years, so it was difficult for him to make any special arrangements for his daughters.
So when the emperor heard his daughter wanted to go out, he immediately said, "Go out. This isn't a banquet, just go out for a walk. Even if your grandmother knew, she would only be happy."
The Queen glared at him and said to Mingda Changyu, "How can you visit someone else's home while you're in mourning? It's impolite."
Chang Yu, "Did we all go there last time?"
"Just now, you said you were going to Huguo Temple to burn incense, but you didn't even go to Huguo Temple."
Chang Yu hugged the Queen's arm and said, "Mother, Zhou Man doesn't care about this, and she is very happy that we can go."
"That's right, Princess, why would you say anything good or bad when you go to congratulate her?" The emperor defended his daughter, saying, "My daughters are dragon girls. They bring blessings with them. No matter when or where they go, it's a blessing."
Queen: ...
Mingda also looked at the queen eagerly.
See you at 6pm
