Chapter 2816 Blood
Manbao became interested and simply asked Prince Gong and his son to talk about the impact of diet on the body.
In fact, this is described in detail in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", and this book is kept in the study of the royal palace.
It was a real collection of books, and the printed edition was very precious. Manbao was very careful when he opened it in his hand, and then showed it to Prince Gong to show that what he said was based on facts.
It can be said that people live on qi and blood. Whether it is skin or internal organs, they all rely on qi and blood to nourish and maintain their activity.
And food is the source of qi and blood.
However, everything in this world requires moderation.
Seeing that Prince Gong didn't seem to care, Man Bao said, "Although fine wine is delicious, drinking too much will make you drunk to death; although rice is sweet and fragrant, eating too much will also make you die of bloating."
Only then did Prince Gong become a little more serious.
Manbao said, "Master He's father died of stomach reflux, and he has it now too. It's not because the disease is hereditary, but because their lifestyles are similar."
Manbao paused and asked Prince Gong, "Your Majesty, what is your favorite dish?"
Prince Gong said without hesitation: "Mutton soup!"
Manbao turned around and asked the little prince who was sitting obediently on the other side, "Little prince, what is your favorite dish?"
The young master hesitated for a moment and then said, "I like to eat a lot of dishes."
He doesn't want to choose, he wants them all.
Manbao changed the question, "Now you can only order one dish, what would you order?"
"Mutton soup!" The young master slurped his saliva. The mutton soup not only contained large pieces of mutton, but also came with steamed buns. It was extremely delicious when he dipped it in the soup and took a bite.
Manbao said to Prince Gong: "This is heredity."
Prince Gong seemed to understand but not quite.
Manbao continued, "Food is energy, but if you eat more food than you expend, do you know what will happen?"
"What's up?"
Manbao always felt that Prince Gong was not cooperating with her, which would prolong her business trip here.
Although she asked for this on her own initiative, she didn't want to stay here alone after Lord Yu and the others had finished investigating the case and returned.
It’s really frustrating that I can’t go home for the New Year this year.
So she waved to Xibing and asked her to get her blood drawing device.
She placed the items in front of Prince Gong and said, "If you want to know the consequences, drawing blood is the most direct way."
Prince Gong frowned and took a step back.
Manbao stared at him and said, "Your Highness, you always hear us say that obesity is bad for your health, this is bad, that is bad, but you yourself don't think there is any problem, right?"
"That's right," Prince Gong said, puffing out his belly. "Although I get a little tired after walking a long distance, that's just because I'm overweight, not because I'm in poor health."
Manbao and the young master sighed, "This is typical of someone who is afraid to see a doctor. But it doesn't matter. I will show you the difference."
Young Master: ...Why are you saying this to him?
Manbao said, "Why don't you find a guard who is about your age and height?"
Even Princess Gong was attracted and immediately sent people to look for him after hearing the news.
Prince Gong was not very old, and it was not difficult to find guards of the same age as him in the palace. He was not short either, but he looked a little short because he was fat.
A guard was quickly summoned, and the eunuch chief who led him over said in a shrill voice, "His zodiac sign is the same as yours, born in March, two months older than yours. This is the closest one to you. Sir Zhou, do you think he can be used?"
"It's usable, it's usable." Man Bao saw that the guard was strong and muscular, very majestic, and he stretched out his hand to pinch the hard muscles on his arm, feeling particularly satisfied. "Good, good, you are in good health."
I also felt his pulse and was even more satisfied. His pulse was strong and his qi and blood were abundant. He was completely different from Prince Gong. This was very good.
Manbao turned around and said to Prince Gong, "Your Highness, if you want to see the difference between you two directly, then let's draw blood."
Prince Gong turned around and was about to leave when his wife grabbed him. Her eyes seemed to be shining, and she was obviously very interested. "Your Highness, please take a look."
She tried hard to suppress the excitement on her face and put on a worried look, "Your Highness, I am really worried about your health. For the sake of me and Xiang'er, please take a look."
Even the Chief Clerk rushed over upon hearing the news. After some thought, he advised Prince Gong, "Your Highness has always suspected that there is nothing wrong with his health. Since Lord Zhou has a way to dispel his doubts, why not take the opportunity to give it a try?"
Prince Gong was furious. Did he not trust the imperial physician and the doctors' diagnosis? He just didn't want to diet and exercise to lose weight.
Everyone knows that being overweight is bad for the body, but just being a little fat is a problem, but how big can the problem be?
Didn't the ancients say that being able to eat is a blessing, and being fat is a blessing. This shows that he has a healthy stomach and a good body...
The Chief Secretary was just as worried about Prince Gong's health as Princess Gong.
Nine times out of ten, every time the emperor communicated with him, he would end by reminding him to pay attention to Prince Gong's health and to encourage him to eat a light diet and exercise more.
But they would often add at the end: Don't let Prince Gong be wronged.
It was so annoying that he didn't know what to do. Since this time he had the opportunity to make Prince Gong realize the problem with his health, he had to do it no matter what.
So the Chief Secretary and Princess Gong surrounded Prince Gong on both sides to persuade him. In the end, even the young master couldn't help but said, "Father, I want to see it."
After being pestered for half an hour, Prince Gong finally sat down on the chair with a sour face. When he saw Zhou Man coming towards him with such a big hollow needle, he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and trembled a little.
Manbao comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt at all."
No way. Zhou Man tied up his arms, then found a blood vessel inside his arm and inserted it. She untied the bandage, and Prince Gong's blood came out with difficulty, followed the needle into the transparent intestinal tract, and then fell into a less transparent container.
Manbao pulled out the needle when he felt it was almost done, and then asked Princess Gong to press gauze on the wound to stop the bleeding. She also asked Prince Gong, "How is it? Doesn't it hurt?"
Prince Gong gritted his teeth and said, "Is this not painful?"
Manbao took the container and walked forward, waving it in front of Prince Gong's eyes, and asked, "Do you see any difference?"
Prince Gong took a look and said, "What's the difference?"
Princess Gong's face turned pale and she asked, "Why is the blood black?"
Prince Gong withdrew his gaze and took another look, his heart a little nervous. "It's not really black, but the color is a little wrong. Has this prince been poisoned?"
Manbao said, "You're overthinking it. This isn't poisoning. It's because you're too fat and eat too much oil, salt, and meat."
Then she spun his blood around for him to see. "Did you see? Your blood is very thick and can hardly be shaken."
Everyone stared with wide eyes.
Manbao put down the container and waved to the guard beside him, "I will show you what the blood of a healthy person looks like."
See you at 6pm
