Chapter 2628: Sick Together
Since it involved the emperor's health, the attendant naturally had to follow. At this time, he was standing aside with a small notebook. Hearing this, he looked up at Zhou Man, then turned to look at the emperor.
The emperor put his hand on his stomach and said, "I still feel some pain, but it's just a minor problem. It's not serious. I can still do some small things."
Manbao started thinking about what these small things could be.
Is sitting and reviewing memorials a big deal or a small deal?
Is discussing matters with court officials a big deal or a small deal?
But he definitely couldn't go out hunting on horseback. He had to rest when he was sick. She was sure that this was a serious matter.
but……
Manbao couldn't help but secretly look at the emperor. Has His Majesty thought about this? Does he really want to go hunting?
The main thing is that she kind of wants to go.
Man Bao was troubled. He simply took the emperor's hand again, felt his pulse and pondered, "Your Majesty, besides the abdominal pain, are you feeling any other discomfort?"
She felt that the emperor's excuse was not very good. It was human nature for him to want to be lazy. Sometimes she also wanted to be lazy and not go to the yamen. If the people around her were not imperial physicians and doctors, she didn't know how many times she would have asked for leave under the pretext of being sick.
Alas, she could understand the emperor, but she felt that he should not be spoiled too much, and what Xiao Yuanzheng said might not be entirely right.
It’s okay to rest, but it’s not good to rest for too long. If there’s something wrong with your stomach and intestines, you’ll have to take medicine for at least three days and then rest for three or four days. Seven days will pass like this.
Manbao hinted to the emperor with his eyes, asking him to find another excuse.
Unfortunately, the emperor and she didn't understand each other well enough. They stared at each other. The emperor thought she was unwilling to lie for him, so he became unhappy and said angrily: "I still have pain in my shoulders, waist, and back..."
It hurts everywhere, so do you dare to say that I'm not sick?
Manbao's eyes lit up and he said, "Your Majesty, you've been overworked and have a heat stroke. This is simple. Let me give you a thorough examination. It's very easy to treat."
Emperor: ... He realized belatedly that he seemed to have misunderstood, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong smiled slightly and stepped forward and said, "How does Lord Zhou want to check?"
"Don't bother. Let me take a look at your Majesty's tongue coating and press the painful area." Man Bao excitedly asked the emperor to open his mouth so she could see his tongue coating. When she saw it, her smile froze. After a pause, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, lie down on your stomach so I can examine you."
The emperor lay on the couch. Manbao reached out and pressed on him a few times. When he pressed on the back of his shoulder, the emperor hissed. Manbao heard it and moved his hand back. After pressing, he asked, "Do you feel pain here?"
"Um."
Manbao pressed several spots and asked, "What about here?"
The emperor couldn't help but cry out in pain, and Gu Zhong took a step forward anxiously.
Man Bao's eyes fixed, he withdrew his hand, and said to the emperor: "It's okay, I'll prescribe you a prescription, prepare the ointment for you later, and have someone give you a massage."
There were also imperial physicians and medical assistants in the Imperial Medical Bureau who were good at massage. Manbao considered it for a moment and then prescribed a prescription.
As for the gastrointestinal medicine, Manbao had forgotten about it, and the emperor had forgotten about it too. He sat up from the couch, frowned, and asked her, "Am I sick?"
Manbao nodded.
The emperor frowned even more tightly. "What's wrong?"
"You have heatstroke."
The emperor didn't believe it. "Is this a heat stroke? And it's not hot today."
Manbao said, "You have heatstroke, and it has been going on for quite some time, but it's not acute."
She turned to ask Gu Zhong, "Your Majesty, have you lost your appetite these past few days? Your daily meals are less than one-third of what you usually eat? You can't sleep well at night, but you're always thirsty, and no matter how much you sleep, you can't get rid of your sleepiness..."
Gu Zhong nodded repeatedly, gave a thumbs up and said, "Every point Lord Zhou said is correct."
"That's heatstroke." Man Bao paused and said, "Your Majesty needs to rest for a while. During this time, you should use less brainpower and less thoughts. You can't go out in the sun, let alone go hunting. But you can walk around the palace to relax and move around as much as possible."
The emperor seemed somewhat happy at first, but after hearing the latter part, his face became expressionless. He asked, "How long will this illness last?"
Manbao sighed and said, "You need to rest for at least ten days."
It's not as good as a gastrointestinal disease. At least six or seven days are enough.
The emperor lay down on the couch and looked at the beams of the roof with an expressionless face. He didn't expect that his laziness would actually cause him to get sick.
Man Bao got up after prescribing the medicine. "Your Majesty, please rest first. I'll go prepare the medicine bag and come over to give you moxibustion. I'll send someone over to give you a massage this afternoon."
After saying that, he walked out.
The attendant watched silently, but his pen did not stop moving. He wrote down everything they said in a straightforward and plain manner without much fluctuation.
Manbao went out with the medicine box, and Lord Wei immediately asked, "Lord Zhou, how is His Majesty's health?"
He had already prepared some words to scold, no, to admonish the emperor.
Finally, Zhou Man said, "Your Majesty needs to rest for ten days."
Wei Zhi frowned and looked at Zhou Man suspiciously.
Not only Wei Zhi, but also Yin Li and others looked at her suspiciously.
When Manbao saw this, he immediately leaned back and said in a loud voice, "Don't doubt that I'm lying. This is absolutely true."
Wei Zhi twitched his face. Could it be that the emperor's words had come true and he really had a stomachache?
Manbao said, "Your Majesty has suffered from heatstroke."
Wei Zhi and other ministers: ...
They actually breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly asked, "How did you get heatstroke?"
"Your Majesty's face looks quite rosy, and he doesn't look sick."
"Yes, without looking at the tongue coating, it's hard to tell just by looking at the complexion and pulse. His illness hasn't yet developed, so it's not a big deal. He only needs to take two doses of the medicine I prescribed, and the main thing from now on is to recuperate."
"If it's not serious, why do you need to rest for ten days?"
Manbao said, "To eradicate the root of the disease. I also think Your Majesty needs to rest for ten days."
Wei Zhi rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand, saying, "Come, Lord Zhou, let me see. How long do you think I need to rest?"
Manbao then held Wei Zhi's hand and placed his right fingers directly on his pulse.
Wei Zhi: ...
Your Excellencies: ...
Manbao touched it, frowned slightly, and then looked at Wei Zhi's face, "Master Wei, let me see your tongue coating."
Lord Wei: ...Don't you understand his sarcasm? He held out his hand and she actually took his pulse?
Zhou Man stared at Wei Zhi, forcing him to open his mouth with his eyes. Li Shangshu and Han Shangshu, who were standing by, had great confidence in Zhou Man's medical skills and urged him, "Master Wei, why don't you let Master Zhou take a look at you?"
Wei Zhi had no choice but to open his mouth to show her.
Manbao silently put down his hand and said to him seriously, "My lord, you need to rest for at least a month, and you shouldn't overwork yourself after that."
She said, "The human spirit is essence, and essence and blood are the foundation of the human body. You have damaged the foundation."
The emperor heard this from behind the screen. He didn't even have time to put on his coat or shoes, and ran out in his underwear and socks. He said sullenly, "Zhou Man, what happened to my most trusted minister?"
See you at 9pm
