Chapter 2638 Who scares whom
Keke was also startled. Without caring about the points with the host, he scanned directly towards the East Palace, and then extended it to the entire palace.
After scanning the area, it was a little unsure. "The palace is more heavily guarded and tighter than before, but the Crown Prince is now in the Eastern Palace, not the Taiji Hall. Oh, your colleagues and ministers are all in the Eastern Palace discussing state affairs as normal. Didn't rebellion in human history always result in death?"
Manbao: "Is Old Master Tang here too?"
Koko said, "Yes."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it wouldn't be a big problem for him to be there.
In the blink of an eye, Eunuch Wu came running up with his men. Manbao smiled and greeted him. He walked down two steps, supported him, and asked curiously, "Eunuch Wu, what's the hurry?"
Eunuch Wu swallowed, took a deep breath, and grabbed Zhou Man's hand, saying, "We were just about to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for help, and we happened to hear that Master Zhou had returned, so we hurried over to ask him out."
He tried to smile and said, "The Crown Princess is feeling unwell. I'd like to ask Lord Zhou to take a look."
The Crown Princess was already over six months pregnant. Man Bao was startled and asked quickly, "What are the symptoms?"
Did you fall, or do you have a stomachache, or is there spotting?
Eunuch Wu didn't dare curse the Crown Princess, so he lowered his head and spoke vaguely. Seeing him like this, Man Bao thought it was a confidential matter. He was so anxious that he stamped his feet and asked, "Is there an imperial physician or a female physician in the East Palace? Do you have a medicine box?"
This one does.
Eunuch Wu nodded repeatedly.
So Manbao didn't bother to wonder what had happened in the palace, she just picked up her skirt and ran to the East Palace.
Eunuch Wu widened his eyes and reached out to stop her, but she had already quickly walked down the stairs and was about to finish. He hurriedly chased after her, "Sir Zhou, please slow down, please slow down, the Crown Princess..." It wasn't that serious.
Poor Eunuch Wu had just caught his breath, but he could only run behind holding his robe.
Two young eunuchs followed behind Eunuch Wu.
The patrolling guards saw them running and frowned, about to shout to stop them, but when they saw Eunuch Wu chasing after Zhou Man, they immediately held their breath.
Eunuch Wu ran over and had to explain, "The Crown Princess wants to invite the imperial physician..."
Watching them run away, a guard couldn't help but ask, "Is the Crown Princess okay?"
"Shut up! How can we discuss the secret affairs of the imperial palace? Just do your job well."
Everyone immediately lowered their heads and responded in a low voice, but they couldn't help but speculate in their hearts.
If anything happens to any of those people living at the top, it would be like an earthquake.
Manbao was in good physical condition and spirits, and she ran into the East Palace in a flash. The palace maids and eunuchs were all familiar with her. Although they were surprised to see her running in, they did not stop her and let her run all the way to the backyard of the East Palace.
The Crown Princess had not received the news yet. She was taking a nap on the couch by the window in the room. Two palace maids were fanning her on her left and right. There were also several palace maids and eunuchs sitting inside and outside the room, some doing needlework, or leaning against the pillars and dozing off.
Manbao's entrance made quite a noise, and in the palace, even the slightest movement was a big deal. The people guarding outside the house were immediately startled awake, and upon seeing Manbao, they were slightly surprised. "Master Zhou, you're back?"
Manbao ran up, slightly out of breath, and asked, "Where is the Crown Princess?"
Seeing her forehead and face covered in sweat, the maid's smile faltered slightly, and she became a little nervous. "She is taking a nap in the room. Lord Zhou wants to see her for a moment. I will go and report to him right away."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to go in to report.
Manbao grabbed her and looked at her in confusion, "Is the Crown Princess okay?"
The palace maid was stunned for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Manbao slowly released her arm, then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket to wipe the sweat off his face. "Okay, it's okay. No need to report it."
The palace maid frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. Just at this moment, Eunuch Wu and two young eunuchs caught up with them, panting.
The palace maids and eunuchs all stared at him in surprise. What big thing had happened? Why were they all running away like this?
Eunuch Wu didn't dare to make a noise in the Crown Princess's courtyard. He caught up with Manbao and pointed at him, panting so hard he couldn't speak. After a while, he lowered his voice and whispered, "You, can't you go a little slower?"
Manbao then pinched his waist and looked at him, a little angry, "Eunuch Wu, why did you lie to me and make me run away?"
Eunuch Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Oh, my dear, please keep your voice down. I apologize to you first. It was His Highness who wanted to see you, but the situation is so precarious right now, so His Highness can't summon you openly..."
Manbao looked puzzled. "Why not summon him openly? Why is it so precarious?"
Eunuch Wu carefully examined Zhou Man's expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That was a slip of the tongue. He deserves a beating, he deserves a beating. Lord Zhou, do you think we should go somewhere else?"
Manbao looked at him deeply, then hummed twice and followed him to the prince's study.
The prince was not in the study at this time, but at the other end of the East Palace - the Zhanshi Mansion.
Eunuch Wu invited Zhou Man to the study and immediately asked someone to make tea.
As for the Crown Princess, the palace maid saw them leave, thought for a moment, turned back into the house, and gently pushed the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess opened her eyes, still a little confused for a moment. She asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
The palace maid reported quietly, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhou has returned from the temporary palace."
The Crown Princess immediately stood up from the couch and asked, "Why is she back? What happened in the palace?"
The maid squatted down to put her shoes on while saying, "It doesn't look like it to me. It's Eunuch Wu who tricked Doctor Zhou into coming here using the Empress. He looks like he ran all the way here, his face and head covered in sweat."
The Crown Princess asked, "Where is he now?"
"He has been invited to the study in the front. His Highness is still in the Chancellery."
The Crown Princess held the hand of a palace maid and went to the study room in front with her big belly. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Eunuch Wu apologizing with a cup of tea in his hand.
Seeing the Crown Princess coming, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground. Even if it was the Crown Prince's signal, he invited people over under the pretext of the Crown Princess, and used such a specious excuse, which was very taboo.
Manbao secretly glared at Eunuch Wu, took the teacup from him, stood up, and casually placed it on the table. He smiled and walked forward to greet the Crown Princess, "I'm sorry for waking Her Majesty."
The Crown Princess reached out her hand, held hers, and said with a smile, "If the people below hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were back. How could you have woken me up?"
She glanced at Eunuch Wu and said to Manbao, "This old servant is becoming more and more out of line. Wait for me to punish him."
Manbao laughed and said, "He was just joking with me. It's my fault for coming here without asking clearly. I hope I didn't disturb the Empress."
The Crown Princess held her hand and sat her on the chair, smiling, "Since you're here, why not feel my pulse?"
Seeing the sweat oozing out of Zhou Man's hair, she knew that he had been running too hard. She turned around and ordered the palace maid, "Go get a basin of water for Master Zhou to wash up."
Eunuch Wu quietly stood up and retreated, breathing a sigh of relief.
See you tomorrow
