Chapter 2580 Wake up
After wiping the sweat off Mr. Zheng, the assistant doctor glanced at Zhou Man quietly. Seeing that she was writing something at the desk, he quietly reached out and felt Mr. Zheng's pulse. Compared with the previous impetuous and weak pulse, the current pulse could be described as steady.
The medical assistant was a little confused. He had also drank two bowls of Qingjie Decoction before, so why was the effect not so obvious?
Could it be that the accumulated knowledge has finally paid off, and the medicine I took before is taking effect at this moment?
The effect of decoctions is indeed slow. Some people cannot recover after taking the medicine for three or four days, but they get better two days after stopping the medicine.
This does not mean that the disease is cured without medication, but rather that the effect of the medicine is delayed.
The assistant doctor pondered for a moment. Could it be that some of the medicine they were using was slow to take effect, or was it because of Master Zheng's physical condition?
Manbao was also thinking hard, what would happen if these medicines were used on a patient who was stronger or weaker?
Manbao continued writing until the early morning. Doctor Liu had a feeling that something was wrong, so he woke up from his bed and saw that Xiao Yuanzheng was still sleeping, so he kicked him.
When they woke up, they found that it was almost dawn.
Zhou Man didn't even ask them to take over.
The two were startled and immediately threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
She wouldn't have fallen asleep, would she?
They both ran to the next room and saw Zhou Man writing something at his desk with two candles lit on the table.
Only when the two of them arrived did she put down her pen, twist her neck, stretch her waist, and stand up.
Seeing that she was awake, Xiao Yuanzheng was no longer worried about Master Zheng in bed. He reached out and took the stack of things she had written, flipped it open, and frowned, "What is this?"
"This is my proposal for building a sterilization ward. I spent half an evening writing it. It's a bit messy, but we can all work together."
Xiao Yuanzheng asked: "What is sterilization?"
Man Bao said, "I call all the things that cause wind evil fungi. They are just like mushrooms. They grow when the weather warms up, and they are as tiny as spores, making them difficult to detect..."
Xiao Yuanzheng understood and raised his hand to interrupt her, "If you had just said it was a wind evil, I would have understood."
He didn't even need Zhou Man to explain the reason. Wasn't the reason why Zheng Erlang's condition worsened so rapidly this time because of the invasion of evil wind?
Otherwise, with their 50% success rate, they wouldn't have been caught so off guard.
But it would cost a huge amount of money to maintain such a ward, and many talents would be needed to work on it, while there might not be many patients. So Xiao Yuanzheng rejected the idea in his mind after just one look.
He flipped through the pages again and saw that she had reviewed Zheng Erlang's symptoms in detail. Only then was he satisfied, put down the manuscript and asked, "How is he?"
The topic was changed instantly.
Manbao said, "It's getting better."
Dean Xiao and Imperial Physician Liu went forward to check. The patient still had a low-grade fever, but his pulse had indeed improved a lot. They breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, it's of some use. The new Qingjie Decoction is good."
This time Manbao didn't nod, but asked, "How long do you think it will take for him to wake up?"
Xiao Yuan was staring at Zheng Erlang's expression. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If he doesn't wake up before noon, we'll find a way to wake him up."
It's not just to ask the patient how he feels, but also to confirm some things. If the injection can't wake him up, then we have to be prepared.
Manbao nodded. If the injection couldn't wake him up, then that would be fate.
It was almost dawn, and Xiao Yuan felt that she had been on duty all night and was too tired, so he said, "Doctor Zhou, you should go and rest. Leave this to us."
Manbao did not refuse. He put away his manuscript and went back to the room. He also woke up the medical assistant who was sleeping soundly with his arms around the pillar and told him to rest as well.
Manbao returned to his room, and immediately a palace maid came up to him and asked, "Master Zhou, would you like to have breakfast before going to bed?"
It won't be long until dawn, and everyone must be hungry.
Manbao touched his stomach and found that he was really hungry, so he nodded and said, "Have someone bring me a bucket of hot water so I can wash myself."
The maid left immediately.
In order to take a bath, change clothes and prepare breakfast, the small courtyard was brightly lit.
Zheng Wang, who had been so worried that he couldn't sleep all night, seemed to hear the noise. He immediately got up, put on his clothes, opened the door and looked to the west.
I can't see it, even if I stand on tiptoe.
So he climbed up the rockery in the yard. When he saw the bright lights in the yard from afar, his legs went weak and he fell directly on the rockery.
The eunuch following behind him was startled and quickly supported him, shouting, "Master Zheng——"
Duke Pi and Lu Zhongyan in the room were awakened, and they ran out in their clothes. Seeing him slumped on the rockery, they immediately ran up to support him, “Master Zheng, what are you doing?”
Zheng Daren's face turned pale and he said, "Yes, no, it's not good. I want to see His Majesty, I want to see His Majesty——"
Duke Pi also glanced over there and said hurriedly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Ask first."
"Come here, send someone over there to ask what's going on. Is Master Zheng awake?"
The eunuch hurried down the rockery and went to the manager to apply for permission. Only after getting the note could he open the gate and go out. When he reached the corridor, he had to beg again and again before he was allowed to go out.
When he ran to the courtyard, the palace clappers sounded, and the gates of the palace and courtyards opened...
Eunuch: ...What is he trying to achieve by going through so much trouble?
Manbao had already eaten a small bowl of rice porridge, rinsed his mouth, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Xiao Yuanzheng and his men were having breakfast. Seeing the eunuch running over to ask about the situation, Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at him and said, "Master Zheng, you're overthinking it. Isn't it normal to cook breakfast at daybreak? Master Zheng is doing okay now."
Of course, Lord Zheng didn't believe it, so he put on a robe without even putting on his clothes and ran to see what was going on. He saw Zheng Erlang lying there well, and when he reached out and touched him, he found that he was completely different from the hot body he had been in before he left last night. He was stunned.
Dean Xiao was a little angry at his lack of trust. He had said everything was fine, but why did he rush over in such a hurry? He thought he was deliberately concealing the patient's condition.
Sure enough, the news that Lord Zheng was running around the East Palace wearing only a robe before the court meeting began spread to everyone in the court. The emperor then became concerned about Zheng Erlang's condition, and all the civil and military officials in the court also kept an eye on the Imperial Hospital, and even put aside the dispute between the Li and Zheng families in the past two days.
Xiao Yuan was facing questions from all sides at the court meeting, and his voice was almost hoarse from explaining.
If I explain it in depth, you won't understand and will say I only know how to read medical books. If I explain it in a simple way, you won't believe me and will think I'm just trying to please you.
It's even harder to serve than the emperor.
Xiao Yuanzheng, who has been promoted, has become more irritable and no longer as patient as before.
Manbao slept soundly until noon, and woke up on time to see if Zheng Erlang could wake up.
It was impossible for him to wake up, but Xiao Yuanzheng and Doctor Liu looked at his eyes and felt that he was conscious, so Xiao Yuanzheng took a few large thick needles to wake him up.
See you at 9pm
