Chapter 3209 School Rules
Xiao Yuanzheng put away his things, then thought of something and hesitated to speak.
Zhou Man looked up at him and waited patiently.
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned and said, "Master Zhou, there is something I am a little suspicious about, but I also think I am overthinking it. After all, there is no basis for this, it is purely my guess."
Zhou Man suddenly raised his hand to stop him from speaking, walked quickly to a window, and opened it with a flick of the wind. The heads that had just approached were frightened and bumped into each other with a bang, and several people screamed.
Xiao Yuanzheng was walking up quickly. Seeing the five young men, his face darkened. "How dare you! Who told you to eavesdrop here?"
The five teenagers covered their heads and admitted their mistakes with a smile, "Director, we know we were wrong."
They looked at Zhou Man with their eyes wide open, full of curiosity. "We heard that Mr. Zhou was here, so we wanted to come and see what he looked like."
Zhou Man looked them up and down, and seeing that they were all about twelve or thirteen years old, he knew that they were students who had just entered the Imperial Medical Bureau, probably in the past two years.
The freshmen of the past two years had indeed never seen her, so she smiled and nodded at them, "Have you seen her now?"
"I see you, I see you. So you are Master Zhou. We often hear you mentioned by our seniors. You are very different from what we imagined."
I thought she was a very strict, very dignified, and very steady female teacher, but I didn't expect...
She had a small round face, fair skin, a warm smile and curved eyes. She looked a few years older than them and didn't look like their husband at all. Instead, she looked like a pretty girl next door.
A young man swallowed and said, "Two of the books we are using in class are written by you, sir. We thought you were a stricter person than the dean..." After all, he is so powerful.
Zhou Man was very proud. "Although I am very happy that you praised me, I still cannot show leniency to you."
She smiled and said, "It seems you don't take the rules of the Imperial Medical Bureau to heart."
She turned her head to look at Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuanzheng's face was gloomy, and he stared at the five young men with cold eyes.
The five teenagers finally realized what was happening. They looked at each other and said hesitantly, "We, we know we were wrong..."
Isn’t it just that you were caught peeking?
They didn't do anything too bad, so it's not a big deal, right?
The five people knelt in the courtyard. Dean Xiao looked at them with a sullen expression and asked, "What is the fifth rule of the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
The five people looked at each other, and no one could answer.
Zhou Man narrowed his eyes slightly, "New students, don't you have to memorize the school rules now?"
The academic rules of the Imperial Medical Bureau were set by Zhou Man, Xiao Yuanzheng and others at the beginning of its establishment. There have been additions and deletions in the following years. Of course, there have been more additions than deletions.
But no matter how many rules are added, one rule remains unchanged. For new students, the first thing to do after entering the school is to memorize and understand the school rules. Even students who cannot read have to start by memorizing the school rules.
Xiao Yuanzheng also looked down at them, "You haven't memorized the school rules?"
"I memorized it, but it's been more than half a year, and I, we forgot it."
Zhou Man saw that although their faces were a little pale, they looked very unconvinced and obviously did not understand why they were being punished.
She smiled and said, "I won't talk about the first three rules of the school. They are the medical ethics that every doctor must abide by. The fourth and fifth rules are the rules for doctors to survive in the Imperial Hospital."
Zhou Man said, "The fifth rule is that you are not allowed to pry into patients' privacy or disclose pulse records. This pulse record includes not only your own patients, but also other doctors' pulse records."
"We didn't intrude into the patient's privacy or leak the pulse case."
Xiao Yuan was furious. "How dare you quibble? Lord Zhou and I were talking. Who allowed you to eavesdrop?"
Fortunately, Zhou Man discovered it in time, otherwise if he really told his guess out loud and these children spread it, not only he and Zhou Man might not survive, but the entire Imperial Medical Bureau might be implicated.
Xiao Yuanzheng said, "I think the management of you has been too lax during this period."
Zhou Man stepped aside and let Xiao Yuanzheng point at the five teenagers and curse them. He was really brave.
She thought she was brave enough, but when she entered the palace, she didn't dare to deliberately eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
After Dean Xiao had scolded them until they were exhausted, Zhou Man simply said, "Don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent. Even if you don't become doctors in the future and don't have to abide by the school rules, you should still remember this is basic etiquette. Okay, go to the supervisor and accept your punishment."
After the five people left dejectedly, Zhou Man looked at Xiao Yuanzheng, who was still angry. "Even though the students have been here for a while, they must not forget the school rules. Test them every six months. The school rules listed above are the earnest instructions of the masters. Even if they don't understand them for the time being, they should remember them."
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded, "This is something you need to remember for the rest of your life. I'll have the doctors focus on this matter when I get back."
Zhou Man nodded, and after everyone had left, he asked Xiao Yuanzheng, "What did you want to say to me just now?"
Xiao Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "Nothing, just some random guesses of mine."
Zhou Man waited for a while, and seeing that he was going to skip the matter, he curiously asked, "What guess? Don't worry, no one is eavesdropping now, so feel free to speak boldly."
Xiao Yuanzheng rubbed his temples and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. When Your Majesty was ill, I felt his pulse and felt that his body was weak and his Yang was excessive, with excessive heat. But before that day, I took Your Majesty's pulse every three days, so his Yang shouldn't be excessive."
"Your yang is excessively dry, and coupled with the damp heat in Taiji Hall, the sun was blazing those days, so Your Majesty fell ill after being out in the sun for a long time." Xiao Yuanzheng said, "But judging from the pulse that time alone, there's nothing wrong. But when I look at it together with the previous safe pulses, I feel like something's amiss."
Zhou Man stroked his chin and said, "Perhaps Your Majesty was not at peace that day, so he had desires..."
Xiao Yuanzheng had a look of confusion on his face. He felt that it was a mistake for him to discuss this with Zhou Man. It would be better for him to talk to Doctor Liu.
However, Doctor Liu didn't notice anything wrong at the time, and because of the doctor's rules, he didn't say anything.
As expected, even Zhou Man shouldn’t have said it, even though His Majesty trusted her.
"Forget it. It's been so long since the incident happened. Even if there really is a problem, it's impossible to pursue it. It's getting late, Mr. Zhou. Shall I take you back?"
Zhou Man nodded and walked out with Xiao Yuanzheng. The street was full of classmates who had just gotten out of school. Most of them recognized Zhou Man and stopped to greet the two of them. Those who didn't know her also recognized Xiao Yuanzheng and quickly stood aside to avoid her.
Zhou Man looked over and sighed, "There are more and more students."
Dean Xiao nodded. "Yes, as per your suggestion, we've opened two new courses, specializing in vaccine research and drug research. The Imperial Medical Bureau is getting more and more busy now. I hope that Master Zhou can finish his work in Qingzhou and return soon."
