Chapter 2809 Weight Loss Plan
"No!" This time, not only Zheng Gu, but also Zhou Man, Doctor Lu and Doctor Xiao Tan denied it in unison. They raised their eyes and looked at each other, then fell silent again, letting Zheng Gu speak.
Zheng Gu couldn't help laughing and said, "No, they have a special medicine cabinet, and the medicine boy picks the medicine according to the cabinet. If the mint is not in the cabinet with schizonepeta, the medicine boy will not pick the wrong one."
"What if the person who put nepeta in the medicine cabinet put it in by mistake? Some people do it accidentally, and some do it on purpose."
Zheng Gu fell silent after hearing this.
So, did this "fake medicine" come from outside, or was it originally in the medical department but was just "misplaced"?
Even Zhou Man couldn't help but sit up straight.
If the things were not from outside, Zheng Gu would be charged with dereliction of duty. Even if they were from outside, he would still be charged with improper supervision.
Lord Yu said, "Let's check the accounts."
This is a huge project. The medicines in the medical department need to be replenished before they are used up. To find out whether they are from external or internal sources, we have to start checking at least from January this year.
In order to prevent people from hiding medicinal materials under the guise of prescriptions, every prescription must be checked, which is a huge task.
Zhou Man immediately stood up and glanced at the sun outside. "It seems to be getting late. I have to go back to see Prince Gong."
Four adults: ...
Everyone really couldn't let Zhou Man follow to check the accounts, so they could only watch her leave.
Zheng Gu stood up and said, "Master, I'll take you there."
Lord Yu raised his eyebrows and simply stood up, "Lord Zhou, I will also see you off."
Zhou Man did not refuse.
This is a small courtyard, not far from the corner gate, just a few dozen steps away. Zhou Man pushed open the door and stood outside the threshold looking at the things placed against the wall. The things were not less, but more, which showed that many people sent things to Zheng Gu.
Zhou Man said, "You are guilty now. Even if you didn't buy the fake medicine intentionally or unintentionally, the medicine was placed in the hospital and then passed from the hospital to the patient. You are responsible. Write a letter of apology and post it there, and have someone take the medicine back."
In front of Lord Yu, Zhou Man didn't say anything polite. He said to Zheng Gu, "After this incident, the local medical department must inspect the pharmacy every ten days. Don't be lax. You should also take this as a warning."
Zheng Gu's eyes reddened and he bowed in response.
Zhou Man reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "To err is human. You are at fault in this matter, but the greater fault lies with those who harbored malicious intentions. You should learn from their mistakes, but don't let them become your inner demons."
She said seriously, "It's not worth it for these people. Even if it's to avenge your two patients, you have to expose these evil spirits behind this."
Zheng Gu's expression became more resolute, and he bowed and replied, "Yes."
Zhou Man nodded, turned around and said, "I'm leaving now. You're injured. Even though it's winter now, you still have to take care of the wound and don't let it get worse."
She glanced at his clothes and said, "Rest in bed more. If you can avoid going out, then don't go out."
Zhou Man then looked at Lord Yu and smiled. "Lord Yu, please find out the truth as soon as possible. If you need anything from me, just let me know. I will probably stay in Luozhou until Prince Gong's condition improves."
Isn't it her who decides when Prince Gong's illness will get better?
Lord Yu agreed with a smile.
Zhou Man got on the palace's carriage and left.
Zheng Gu watched her leave the alley before looking away.
Master Yu stood a step behind him and said with a faint smile, "Master Zheng has a good master."
Zheng Gu nodded and said, "Yes."
Lord Yu glanced at the thing in the corner and turned back.
Zheng Gu followed behind him, hesitating for a moment before finally speaking, "Master Yu, can the two doctors and the family members and servants of our four families be released?"
Seeing Master Yu frown, he quickly said, "Just lock him up in the backyard of this hospital like me."
He said, "Actually, I'm the one who got involved. Dian Yao is missing. Even if the two doctors are involved, it's enough to detain them. But my family members are not implicated, and there's no evidence yet."
Lord Yu thought about it and felt that Magistrate Luo was acting too radically. Arresting the family members and servants of the four families at once was a waste of prison resources.
Do you think going to jail is free?
The Dali Temple spends a lot of money on prisons every year, so he nodded and said, "I'll go get the person out this afternoon."
It just so happened that he also wanted to interrogate Dian Yao's family and the two doctors.
Manbao returned to Prince Gong's mansion and ran into the idle Prince Gong again while walking through the lobby. He was reclining in a chair with a soft pillow behind it, which was very comfortable. However, his belly was a bit big, so he couldn't see his legs. But this didn't stop him from mocking Zhou Man, "Hey, is the doctor who treated me back?"
Manbao paused, turned around and walked towards him.
Prince Gong was actually a little scared, then he remembered something and straightened his back to look at her.
Manbao stood in front of him, raised his hand and saluted, then said, "Your Highness, I went to the vegetable market today."
Prince Gong: ...Why did she go to the vegetable market?
"I've already asked around, and there are still quite a lot of chickens in Luoyang. I've decided that for the next month, or even longer, the only meat you can eat is chicken, chicken breast!"
Prince Gong thought of the venison, beef and mutton that were delivered to his mansion every winter.
Especially the lamb and venison, they are really delicious.
Prince Gong glared at Zhou Man.
Man Bao said, "I've written down the plan and reviewed it again. I'll be able to finalize it this afternoon. Your Highness, we'll see you tonight. Tonight's dinner will be your last. You can indulge a little, but not too much, or you'll upset your stomach. You might need to watch your diet starting tonight."
After saying this, Zhou Man bowed under Prince Gong's angry gaze and turned to leave.
Manbao returned to the study to write a plan. In view of her hard work, after dinner in the evening, Prince Gong and his family saw Zhou Man's carefully designed plan.
Prince Gong got three pieces of paper, and the young prince also got three pieces of paper. It was very fair.
The young master knew most of the characters he used in daily life, so reading was not difficult for him. Zhou Man wrote in vernacular Chinese. Breakfast was listed below. He could have an egg, a bowl of goat's milk boiled in tea leaves, two fist-sized steamed buns, and a bowl of vegetables blanched in boiling water...
The young master couldn't help but whispered, "There are no green vegetables in winter."
"We already have one," Manbao smiled at him. "Thanks to the princess' efforts, the Tang family in Luoyang is willing to send a basket of green vegetables to the palace every day, about ten kilograms. Not considering anyone else, just you and His Royal Highness Prince Gong, that's definitely enough."
The young master opened his mouth wide.
He looked down at his schedule again and realized that he was eating quite a lot, especially meat. He could eat six meals a day. He was skeptical, "Can this really help me lose weight?"
Are you sure it's not weight gain?
Manbao smiled slightly, "As long as the young master is willing to cooperate."
Prince Gong, who had suffered a lot, looked at his son with sympathy and thought he was too naive.
But as soon as he saw his plan, he had no time to sympathize with his son. This was the second time he had done this. Wasn't he even more pitiful?
See you at 4 p.m.
