Chapter 3476 Extra Gu Zhong 1
As soon as the emperor woke up, the prince's crisis was completely resolved. Although Zhou Man would occasionally encounter someone in Taiji Hall who came to secretly report the prince, judging from the emperor's appearance, it didn't seem very successful.
The Crown Prince came over with a memorial and saw her sitting at the side railing of the hall, peeking out. He walked over, took the memorial, patted her on the head, and asked, "You're trying to spy on the Emperor. Don't you want to die?"
Zhou Man immediately stood up and defended himself, "I was just paying attention to His Majesty's health."
After two days of constant fear, Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't bear it any longer when he relaxed, so he handed the Taiji Hall to Zhou Man and went home first.
The other imperial physicians also went back to rest, planning to take turns on duty after recovering their strength.
Zhou Man is young and has the best medical skills, making him the most suitable person to stay and guard at this critical moment.
She looked up at the time and asked, "Why are you here again?"
Didn’t he just leave not long ago?
The prince didn't answer her question, but raised his chin and said, "Aren't you tired after two days in a row? Take more rest when you have time."
Zhou Man scratched his head, watched him enter the main hall, and then went to the side hall to rest.
Because of Gu Zhong, many eunuchs in Taiji Hall were taken away for questioning. They had not returned yet, and the one who followed Zhou Man in to serve was a palace maid.
Zhou Man asked in a low voice: "How is Master Gu?"
In the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were much more informed than she was. The maid glanced outside and whispered, "I heard that he was seriously injured and was not sent to the palace, but to the epidemic prevention center."
That was where the palace eunuchs and maids went when they were sick. Before the establishment of the Imperial Medical Bureau, they basically had to endure the pain of going to the epidemic prevention center. Those with money and connections might be able to buy some medicine and get better faster.
After the establishment of the Imperial Medical Bureau, because there was a precedent of Zhou Man taking his apprentices to treat and practice acupuncture for the palace maids, the empress specially provided medicine for the epidemic prevention center.
Generally, the medical assistants of the Imperial Medical Bureau had to take turns to see patients at the Epidemic Prevention Center. Palace maids and eunuchs who were unwell could also go to the Epidemic Prevention Center for medical consultation and medication, and they did not have to move into the Epidemic Prevention Center.
Although the situation is much better now, entering the epidemic prevention center also means that the only medical care he can get is medical assistant.
Zhou Man kept it in mind. When Xiao Yuanzheng had rested and came to take over her shift at night, she did not leave the palace immediately, but wandered to the epidemic prevention center.
The epidemic prevention center was located in a corner of the Ye Ting Palace, a long way from the Taiji Palace. When Zhou Man arrived at the place, the bell rang. When the bell stopped, the palace gate was about to be locked.
Zhou Man walked into the epidemic prevention center calmly, carrying a medicine box.
The eunuch in charge of the epidemic prevention center was startled when he saw her and hurried out to greet her, "Master Zhou, why are you here?"
Zhou Man stopped with his medicine box in hand and said with a smile, "The palace gates are about to be locked. It's too late to leave now, so let's find a place to rest."
Who wants to rest at the quarantine center?
Zhou Man looked around and asked, "Master Gu was sent here?"
The eunuch in charge came back to his senses and immediately said, "Yes, he's inside."
He personally took Zhou Man to the back.
Eunuchs are different from court officials. Court officials who are involved in major events such as the assassination of the emperor can get back on track after clearing their grievances, and may even be able to make further progress. However, eunuchs, once involved, find it difficult to make a comeback, regardless of whether the evidence is solid or not.
It would be fine if the emperor was in high spirits, as he could handle it personally. After all, these people had served him for a long time, and they had feelings for him, so they wouldn't be too bad.
But the emperor had just woken up and was exhausted. He spent half of the day sleeping and the other half taking medicine and dealing with court affairs. He had no energy to deal with Gu Zhong personally.
The palace is the most powerful place. Even if Gu Zhong still has face, the treatment he receives in the quarantine center is not very good.
He was lying in a dim little room at this time, which was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Gu Cai was making medicine.
Hearing the door being pushed open, he hurriedly stood up to block the medicine furnace. When he saw Zhou Man standing against the light in the dim light, his eyes suddenly reddened and he couldn't help but choke out a sob, "Master Zhou."
Zhou Man nodded to the eunuch in charge, walked in, and scanned the room. "Are you boiling medicine? What kind of medicine are you boiling?"
Gu Zhong, who was curled up in bed not far away, coughed and struggled to stand up. "Master Zhou?"
Zhou Man stepped forward quickly, reached out and held him down, and after taking a look at his face, he said, "I was passing by and came in to see if Master Gu was alright?"
Gu Zhong smiled slightly, "It's much better than being in prison. Thank you for asking, Lord Zhou."
There were no lights in the room, only the scattered moonlight that had just appeared and the light from the fire in the corner of the room. Neither could see clearly, but Gu Zhong still looked in Gu Cai's direction accurately, "Why don't you go and make tea for Lord Zhou?"
Gu Cai wiped his tears and ran out to make tea.
Gu Zhong and Zhou Man smiled bitterly, "This kid is just honest. In terms of cleverness, he is far inferior to his brother."
I'm talking about Gu Ji.
Zhou Man smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with being honest. Honest children are blessed."
"Thanks to the master's good taste, I hope he is really blessed."
Zhou Man opened the medicine box, took out a candle and was about to light it when the steward came over with some candles, and the dim room suddenly became bright.
Zhou Man took back his candle and looked at the steward with a smile, "I want to rest here tonight, thank you for your help."
"It is an honor for us to have Mr. Zhou here. How dare we say thank you for your help?" The steward bowed and said, "Our place is simple. Please don't mind it, Mr. Zhou."
He said, "We've got someone clear out a room for you up front. You can make do with it tonight. If you need anything later, just let us know and we'll find a way to get it ready for you."
Then he smiled and said to Gu Zhong, "Mr. Gu, if you need anything, please tell me and I will find it for you."
Gu Zhong nodded to him in a friendly manner, thanking him for his trouble.
The eunuch in charge continued to talk for a while until Gu Cai came back with tea, and then he left.
As soon as he left, Zhou Man moved the candle over to look at the injuries on Gu Zhong's body, "Since you're here, I'll help you take a look."
She said to Gu Cai, "Take your godfather's clothes and let me see them."
Gu Cai hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help.
Gu Zhong's body was covered in wounds, so Gu Cai asked a doctor to help. They had some good medicine they had collected before, so they sprinkled some medicine powder on the wounds. However, because there were too many scars, some of which were deep, they were constantly bleeding.
Zhou Man frowned slightly after seeing it. "It's not handled properly. Go get two basins of hot water and I'll do it again."
Zhou Man took a packet of medicine from the medicine box and gave it to Gu Cai, "Take it and boil it. He will need to drink it later."
Gu Cai hurriedly took the herbs, glanced at Gu Zhong, and stepped back.
Zhou Man took out the things from the medicine box. Gu Zhong saw that she had arranged the knives, tweezers, scissors, needles and thread in a row. He was a little worried, "Am I injured so badly?"
