Chapter 2630: Consultation
The light in Doctor Zheng's eyes went out. Isn't this equivalent to resigning from office and retiring?
Not to mention whether the emperor is willing or not, Wei Zhi probably doesn't want to do it either, right?
He shook his head and sighed, putting the matter behind him.
Manbao sat in a chair and fell into deep thought. Illness comes like a mountain falling and goes like a thread being pulled out. Especially for someone like Wei Zhi who had a work-related illness, he needed rest.
If he can't rest...
Manbao fell into deep thought. How should she treat it?
Before he could figure out what was going on, Eunuch Gu came over to invite Manbao to the Changshou Palace. He looked around, then stepped forward and whispered, "My master said that His Majesty was in a very bad mood today and didn't mention that he was sick and needed to rest. The gentlemen were scolded several times today because of their poor responses."
"Now that the adults have dispersed, His Majesty has left only Lord Wei. The two of them were about to have lunch, but they wanted to wait until Doctor Zhou had examined them before eating."
Manbao said he understood and thanked him for the reminder.
Young Eunuch Gu chuckled softly and said, "I would like to thank Master Zhou. It is thanks to Master Zhou that I was saved today. Otherwise, my master would have scolded me."
Manbao whispered, "It was Lord Bai who saved us. He is the one we should thank."
"Yes, Lord Bai should thank you, but Lord Zhou should also thank you."
Manbao carried the medicine box to the Changshou Hall.
The emperor had already put on his clothes and shoes obediently and was sitting at the table playing chess with Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi had no idea how to give in to others, and his chess skills were slightly better than Bai Shan's, so the emperor was very unhappy with his chess.
Seeing Zhou Man, the emperor, who was about to lose, immediately dropped the chess pieces in his hand, messing up the whole game. He said to Wei Zhi: "Let Zhou Qing show Wei Qing a game first."
Wei Zhi glanced at the chessboard, put down the chess piece, and smiled at Zhou Man.
Gu Zhong immediately brought the eunuchs forward to put away the chessboard and clear the table.
Manbao walked forward, opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow and placed it on the table.
Wei Zhi pulled up his sleeves and placed his hand on the pulse pillow.
Manbao placed his fingers on his pulse and lowered his eyes to listen carefully.
After a while, she raised her head and asked, "Does your Excellency feel uncomfortable in any way?"
Wei Zhi smiled and shook his head, "I don't feel any discomfort."
Manbao looked at his expression, the dark green in his eyes, and the drooping of his shoulders and elbows...
Manbao carefully recalled the times he had met Lord Wei over the past year.
She has always had a good memory and is also an imperial physician, so she is very good at reading people's expressions. Speaking of which, Lord Wei has changed a lot in the past year or so.
Manbao's eyes swept through the white hair at his temples, and then looked at his expression...
Wei Zhike is much younger than her husband, but her complexion is not as rosy and rosy as Mr. Zhuang's.
Well, her husband seems to be getting better and better in health in recent years, and is no worse than when she was a child. So the human body is very strange. It can age prematurely, or it can have a youthful appearance with white hair.
The emperor was waiting anxiously, but when he saw Zhou Man looking at Wei Zhi with his round eyes, he patiently waited.
After waiting for a long time, she still didn't move, and the emperor couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Wei Zhi's face.
Wei Zhiyi, who usually remained calm even when faced with a mountain collapse, was embarrassed and looked away uncomfortably. He wanted to take his hand back, but Zhou Manyi pressed it down hard, so he could only stay still.
The emperor looked at Wei Zhi, then turned to look at Zhou Man, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If Wei Zhi wasn't an old man, he would almost think that Zhou Man was looking at him like that because he liked him.
The emperor thought about it and felt that he needed a beautiful boy to feast his eyes on. Oh, no, a beautiful young man. So he turned his head to look at Gu Zhong and ordered: "Ren Bai is still in the Changshou Palace, call him over."
Wei Zhi: ...
Manbao finally recalled Wei Zhi, whom he had met at the last grand court meeting. After withdrawing his hand, he couldn't help but touch his chin. "Master Wei, is your back sore? Is it unbearable after sitting for more than two quarters of an hour?"
Wei Zhi smiled slightly and was about to say "No" when Man Bao suddenly said, "Sir Wei, diagnosis is the most basic ability of an imperial physician. If I can't even say this, then I don't need to be an imperial physician."
So you're sure you want to accuse me of being unprofessional?
Wei Zhi was choked.
Manbao continued, "Just tell me the truth so I can diagnose you."
The emperor immediately came to his senses and said to Wei Zhidao: "Wei Qing, I cannot leave you, but not with this misdiagnosis. Tell Zhou Man the truth and don't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor."
He paused and said, "This is what Wei Qing is advising me. You must do it yourself. Otherwise, why are you advising me?"
Wei Zhi finally sighed and nodded with Zhou Man.
Manbao immediately asked, "Are there any other places that don't feel well?"
"It's just some body aches, other than that I don't feel any other discomfort." Seeing Zhou Man's disbelief, he assured her, "What I said is true, and I don't take it personally. As you get older, you'll always have some issues."
Manbao simply took the initiative to ask, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Wei Zhi: “…Not bad.”
"How many hours do you usually sleep at night? Well, what time did you fall asleep and wake up last night? Did you get up or wake up during the night..."
The questions were asked in great detail, just like the Ministry of Justice interrogating a prisoner.
Wei Zhi opened his mouth, but still answered honestly under the emperor's gaze.
Manbao asked about everything from sleep to diet and daytime energy, and he had a rough idea of the situation.
The emperor beside him was silent.
Wei Zhi's daily life was actually similar to the emperor's, but the emperor would occasionally go to the Western Inner Court to see the imperial guards, which would move his body around a bit. Plus, Wei Zhi was playful by nature, so he would always find opportunities to play. Unlike Wei Zhi, he was thinking about state affairs even when he was asleep and when he was awake.
Just as Zhou Man said, a person's spirit is his essence and blood. If Wei Zhi is so hurt, the emperor would not believe that he is not sick.
He has been busy since the beginning of spring and now wants to pretend to be sick and take a two-day break. Judging from his own experience, he thinks Wei Zhi is too tired.
Manbao went over Wei Zhi's pulse diagnosis in his mind again, then sighed, "How will Your Majesty and Lord Wei treat this?"
The emperor frowned and looked at her, "You are the imperial physician, yet you come to ask me how to treat it?"
Manbao was no fool. This morning, when Wei Zhi glared at her and Bai Shan came to her rescue, she realized that Wei Zhi might not want to rest and recuperate, and even the emperor might not be willing. So she said, "As the imperial physician, my advice is to rest and recuperate slowly over the next two to three years. Perhaps you can recover."
Wei Zhi immediately told the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling unwell."
That's his attitude.
The emperor was also lost in thought. After a while, he saw Bai Shan coming by imperial decree. He stood up and said, "Mr. Bai, you've arrived just in time. Today I'll let you witness Lord Wei's chess skills. Come, play a game."
So he let Bai Shan and Wei Zhi play chess, and he took Zhou Man away.
Wei Zhi and Bai Shan: ...
This is a stroke of genius.
Manbao accepted it well and followed the emperor carrying his medicine box.
See you at 6pm
