Chapter 3480: Gu Zhong 5
Bai Shan's words made Zhou Man's wavering heart tilt instantly. She took the gold and said to the shopkeeper, Old Zheng, with a serious face: "Leave this matter to me. I will go back and make medicine for him."
Zhou Man wrote a full prescription and handed it to the shopkeeper, Lao Zheng.
Shopkeeper Old Zheng has taken a look at it. There are medicines in it for stopping bleeding, replenishing blood, and replenishing qi. In short, they are all good medicines for healing injuries.
Zhou Man spent the first ingot of gold she had just received, but she also collected a lot of precious medicinal herbs.
Shopkeeper Old Zheng glanced at her bag and lamented her huge profits. She would definitely not use up all the herbs she bought. Even if she did, she would still have nine ingots in her hand. She didn't know what disease the Lord Gu in the palace had that made him offer such a high price.
When the old shopkeeper Zheng was returning home, it happened that the imperial physician Zheng had just returned from the court. The two brothers had not yet separated. When they met at the corner gate, the old shopkeeper Zheng casually invited them, "Come to my place for a drink?"
Doctor Zheng thought about how stressed he had been for the past three days, unable to leave the palace, and dared not talk to anyone, let alone eat or sleep. Today was a good day to relax.
So he nodded in agreement and followed the shopkeeper Lao Zheng.
The shopkeeper, Old Zheng, asked him, "Is the Imperial Hospital so busy this summer? You haven't been home for three days."
Although the emperor had woken up, his coma two days before was still an open secret in the palace. Doctor Zheng had always had principles. Unless matters in the palace involved the survival of the family, he generally would not tell his family about the "secrets" of the palace.
So he didn't say anything at this moment, just shook his hand.
Shopkeeper Old Zheng mentioned that Gu Cai had asked for medicine through him and Zhou Man today, and he asked curiously, "Isn't this eunuch Gu close to the emperor? Can't he send the imperial physician from your Imperial Hospital to see the patient? Why did he have to come all the way out of his way to get the medicine through me?"
Doctor Zheng weighed the pros and cons and felt that this was not a secret, but rather a matter of being well-informed or not, so he said, "Of course it was possible before, but now it is a little difficult. However, it seems to be possible again now."
Shopkeeper Old Zheng looked up at him. What nonsense is he talking about?
Doctor Zheng also felt that what he said was a bit confusing. He shook his dizzy head and said, "However, Eunuch Gu went outside to ask for medicine from Lord Zhou. First, it was for safety reasons, and second, it was to repay Lord Zhou."
After all, it is not easy to give so much money to Zhou Man in the palace. If it is passed through Jishidiang, it will have little to do with Zhou Man.
Gu Zhong only bought medicine from Jishidiang, and Jishidiang asked Zhou Man to make the medicine. The imperial physicians of their Imperial Hospital often registered with various drug stores and clinics. Even if this matter was to be exposed, it would be the drug stores and clinics that would stand in the way.
Even if something happens to a patient, apart from the blemish on its reputation, the responsibility still lies with the pharmacy and clinic.
Shopkeeper Old Zheng sighed and said, "What kind of disease is this? The reward is so huge, you don't know, a whole plate of gold. Apart from the one ingot for buying medicine, there are still nine ingots left."
Doctor Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Life, let's consider it as the money to buy it."
Shopkeeper Zheng was stunned.
Doctor Zheng waved his hand and said, "To say anything more would involve the private affairs of the palace. Anyway, whether Eunuch Gu can survive this time depends 50% on me and 50% on Lord Zhou. If he can survive this time, 80% depends on Lord Zhou."
If Zhou Man had not mentioned it to the emperor, with the emperor's current energy, he would probably never remember Gu Zhonglai until his death, and even if he did, he would not bring it up.
The emperor's body could not hold on for much longer. If Gu Zhongdu was still in the epidemic prevention center when he passed away, he would have to spend the rest of his life in a corner of the imperial palace. The best place for him would be to be sent to the imperial farm like Tong Nei Shi.
But Tong Nei Shi was able to live safely in the imperial manor for many years because Gu Zhong, who had been his enemy for many years, had let him go and even secretly protected him;
But Gu Zhong might not have such luck.
He has been with the emperor for too long, knows too many secrets, and has offended many people. If he is not treated with honor, he will not have a good ending even if he goes to the imperial farm.
So Zhou Man’s words were very important, and it also shows how important it is to have someone around the emperor.
Doctor Zheng thought about this and said to the shopkeeper, "We should ask the local medicine dealers to send us a few live plants if they see any rare plants that we don't have here."
To have a good relationship, you have to cater to her preferences. Zhou Man's preferences have always been obvious. In a relationship like theirs, giving her money would be tacky, and she might not accept it, but giving her some flowers and plants would not be too obvious.
Zhou Man had no idea about the Zheng brothers. When she returned home, she had already thought of the medicine she wanted to make.
Since she dared to mention Gu Zhong in front of the emperor, she was certainly confident that he would take up his post as soon as possible.
With internal and external medications, plus acupuncture, she could guarantee that he would be able to get out of bed in five days, but it would require a lot of suffering and sufficient willpower on his part.
She felt that Gu Zhong could do it. He could even endure such severe punishment, so how could he be afraid of this little pain?
Also, given the emperor's current temper of liking to grab people to reminisce about the past, when he sees Gu Zhong returning with a pale face, it is very likely that he will just pull him aside to talk and will not order Gu Zhong to do too much.
What's more, there are ancient talents.
He will stay by your side and serve you.
Although this young eunuch is a little silly, he is still good at serving people.
But now...
While Zhou Man washed his hands and handled the medicinal materials, he was planning how to ask Teacher Mo for some medicinal liquid.
Well, Teacher Mo has recently taken a liking to drinking tea.
Zhou Man immediately ran to find Bai Shan, "I remember you were rewarded with a box of Wuyi Mountain tea last time. Did you drink it?"
Bai Shan glanced at her and said, "No, I was just planning to send it to Mr.
Zhou Man said: "Let me use it first, and I will give it to you next time when I get it."
Bai Shan: "There isn't much of this tea left in the palace now. I only got a box last time because I went to the palace with Old Master Tang to report on a matter. I took advantage of Old Master Tang's kindness and got a box. If I want more, I'll have to wait until next year, right?"
"Oh, sir, you like Mengding stone flowers more. I'll go ask Changyu for some and give them to you later."
Bai Shan found the box of tea for her, but before he could ask her who she was giving the tea to, she ran away.
Bai Shan shook his head and didn't care.
Zhou Man finally exchanged a box of tea for a tube of study materials. She added all of them to the pills she made, and also boiled a jar of ointment for Gu Zhong. The next day, she put the things into the medicine box and entered the palace with droopy eyelids - she was too tired.
Gu Zhong received the medicine and actively treated it. Gu Cai poured him some hot water and said, "Master Zhou said that the pills should be taken two times a day, morning and evening, and they are specially used to treat internal injuries. She made a pill for you for half a month. After you finish it, she will change the prescription."
He took out the medicine jar again and said, "Master Zhou said to apply this ointment once a day. Now that the bleeding has stopped, there's no need to bandage it. Otherwise, the hot weather might damage the wound..."
Gu Zhong took off his clothes and asked him to apply the medicine. When he finished nagging, he said, "Go back today and find our clothes. It would be better if you tidied them up. His Majesty likes to see people who are neat and tidy."
Gu Cai agreed.
