Chapter 2633 Unable to Diagnose
The emperor summoned Xiao Yuanzheng to come and treat Wei Zhi, and Wei Zhi rested for two days.
Han Shangshu and others went to see Wei Zhi together, and happened to meet Zhou Man giving Wei Zhi acupuncture.
So everyone gathered in front of the screen to watch, oh no, to discuss some state affairs.
Manbao looked at them with a puzzled expression, then looked away and continued.
Han Shangshu said, "Your Majesty was clamoring to lead the army in person this morning. When will Lord Wei be able to attend court?"
Manbao pulled out a long needle from the needle bag, used his fingers to locate the acupuncture point on Wei Zhi's back, and then inserted the needle.
Minister Han and the others watched helplessly as the long needle entered Wei Zhi's body, and they all shuddered.
Wei Zhi, however, didn't react much. He lay on the couch and said, "Your Majesty can only shout, but he will never lead the army in person."
He said, "It's just Goguryeo. We can just send one general to deal with it. Besides, there's Silla to attack us from both sides."
Minister Li said, "That's what we mean."
The few people still didn't leave, and continued to pull at the screen to watch Wei Zhi acupuncture, and persistently asked: "Master Zhou, is Master Wei's illness serious?"
"It's nothing serious," Man Bao said. "It's caused by internal heat and overwork. I'll just need acupuncture for two days and then take good care of myself. It's similar to your Majesty's condition."
Minister Han looked at her suspiciously, "That's not what Lord Zhou said yesterday."
Manbao sighed and said, "Blame me, and Lord Wei."
Wei Zhi, who was lying on his stomach: ...
Manbao excused himself, saying, "Lord Wei stood there for me to feel his pulse, and I couldn't get it right. Lord Han, His Majesty already scolded me yesterday, so please don't bring it up again. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble when Lord Tang comes in a few days."
Han Shangshu and the others didn't know whether they believed it or not, so they agreed with a smile: "Sure, sure."
Seeing that they agreed, Manbao said enthusiastically, "Thank you, gentlemen, for your consideration of our colleagues. In that case, why don't I take a look at you too? Perhaps you are ailing, and I can give you a few acupuncture treatments."
Han Shangshu immediately let go of the screen, stood up straight, and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, Li Shangshu, shouldn't we go take care of official business?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, isn't you going to hold a banquet tonight? We have to take care of official business during the day."
"We also have to go and take care of official business. Lord Wei, please have a good rest."
Everyone said goodbye.
The old servant escorted the man out the door.
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief, and Wei Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Manbao turned the needle on his back and asked, "Master Wei, can they believe such a crude excuse?"
Wei Zhixiao asked, "Is the excuse crude?"
"Of course. Even if I misdiagnosed the pulse, I wouldn't call the heat a death symptom. I just feel like the excuse Your Majesty gave me isn't very good."
"Then you still agree?"
Manbao shrugged and said, "I don't have any better excuse. Xiao Yuan is here, maybe he can come up with a good reason."
Xiao Yuanzheng was already on his way to the palace, but the person who summoned him had only set out in the morning and rode there at full speed, but by the time Xiao Yuanzheng was called, he had already arrived in the evening.
The person who summoned the emperor did not say that he was going to see Wei Zhi, but rather that the emperor was unwell and summoned Xiao Yuanzheng to see him.
The emperor had just been to the palace for one day. Xiao Yuanzheng was so scared that he immediately packed up his things and followed the guards to the palace at full speed.
When I was about to leave the capital, I remembered that Zhou Man was in the palace.
Even with Zhou Man's current medical skills, he still had to rush to see him so anxiously. Xiao Yuanzheng became even more worried.
So, regardless of his old arms and legs, he whipped himself and rushed to the palace, arriving around 3 p.m.
When he got off the horse, his legs were shaking.
He held the medicine box in his arms and had two guards hold his arms as he carried it up to the palace.
Manbao had just finished giving the emperor moxibustion and was carrying the medicine box back to her own courtyard, feeling very sleepy. She saw Xiao Yuanzheng being carried up the mountain quickly by two guards, and he went straight past her to the Changshou Palace. She opened her mouth in surprise.
Xiao Yuanzheng also saw her and immediately shouted, "Stop, stop, stop, stop for a moment."
The two guards stopped, he put down his feet and stood still, turning his head to look down at Zhou Man who was looking at him in amazement with his head raised.
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned and asked, "Doctor Zhou, why weren't you there to take care of His Majesty when he was sick?"
Manbao closed his mouth, looked at her yard with longing, then turned around and resignedly carried the medicine box upstairs, "Let's go, let's go see His Majesty together."
When Xiao Yuanzheng saw her like this, he relaxed a lot. It seemed that the emperor was fine.
He held the medicine box in one hand, straightened his messy official robe with the other, and went to see the emperor with her.
So Wei Zhi, who was recuperating at home, was called by the emperor to play chess. In fact, he sent all the eunuchs and palace maids away to let Xiao Yuanzheng see the patient.
Xiao Yuanzheng carefully felt Wei Zhi's pulse, then looked at his face. He asked a few questions and pondered, "Master Wei is indeed overworked. His essence and blood have been greatly depleted, and he is a little weak..."
But it’s not that he’s going to die soon, right?
He couldn't help but look at Zhou Man.
Manbao looked serious, not knowing that Xiao Yuanzheng hadn't diagnosed the patient's dying pulse. He looked at him eagerly, hoping that he could give some effective advice.
Xiao Yuanzheng had worked with her for many years, and as soon as he met her gaze, he understood what she meant, so he said, "I need to discuss this with Doctor Zhou."
This was a serious illness, and the emperor expressed his understanding. He waved his hand and asked the two to leave. He left Wei Zhi to play chess.
Xiao Yuanzheng followed Zhou Man back to the palace's clinic. Doctor Zheng was running around the palace treating sick nobles, so he was not there. Only Assistant Doctor Duan was on duty there.
Dean Xiao waved his hand to let Assistant Doctor Duan leave, then asked Zhou Man, "How did you know that Lord Wei was going to die soon?"
Manbao was surprised, "You can't see it?"
Xiao Yuan was looking at her silently. Man Bao first doubted herself, "Did I make a mistake in the diagnosis?"
"Although I feel a little tired and out of breath, it's not that serious, right?"
Manbao carefully recalled the pulse she felt twice. If she had been wrong once, it might have been possible, but she felt it twice, so she shook her head and said, "No, I didn't make a mistake."
She said, "He is indeed exhausted and out of breath. His internal organs are all weak. If this continues, he... I'm afraid he won't have much time left. It's just that he hasn't shown it yet."
Man Bao said, "This kind of excessive fatigue rarely shows serious symptoms. Once it does, it's already too late to save the situation."
Xiao Yuanzheng, being an imperial physician himself, understood Zhou Man's meaning better. "Are you talking about sudden death and signs of suffocation?"
Manbao nodded.
Xiao Yuanzheng's mind immediately flashed to Wei Zhi's expression. After a moment, he sighed, "He doesn't look very good. I'll check back later."
Although he was somewhat convinced of Zhou Man's judgment, he still wanted to make a diagnosis himself. If that failed, he would have to invite Doctor Liu and others for a consultation.
If we can't even determine the condition of the disease, it will be difficult to prescribe the medicine.
I still have to go to the hospital today, laughing and crying, see you at 8 o'clock in the evening
