Chapter 2416 Will
Without Bai Shan asking, Zhao Liulang sighed and said, "I'm here to seek medical treatment for my old lady. She's feeling unwell, so we asked the imperial physician to see her. But after seven or eight days of taking medicine, there's been no improvement. My family discussed it and decided to ask Zhou Man to come. As you know, Zhou Man is currently at the imperial farm, so I came to the palace to ask for permission."
Bai Shan was cheered up when he heard this, "The Queen agreed?"
Zhao Liulang said, "If you agree, I won't sigh anymore."
He said, "The Queen didn't say yes, but she didn't say no either."
It was because he couldn't get the imperial edict that Zhao Liulang was wandering around and not in a hurry to go home.
He nudged Bai Shan and lowered his voice, "I heard that she occasionally asks for leave to go out these days?"
Bai Shan said, "It's not easy to come out. Not only does she have to change clothes, but her time is also very tight. She can only come out during her lunch break. She doesn't dare to delay anything at the imperial farm..."
"Now that we're out, I can see one patient or two. My old lady is already that old, and it's hard for the Imperial Hospital to do anything, so I wanted to ask Zhou Man for help."
"Why not ask the Imperial Hospital to prescribe a prescription and then ask Doctor Liu to help with the acupuncture?"
Zhao Liulang said, "Is this a problem with the needle? This is a problem with the brain."
He said, "Different doctors have prescribed different prescriptions and used different acupuncture methods. It's precisely because their treatments haven't been very effective that my family wanted to hire him."
Bai Shan looked him up and down, "You want to use my backdoor?"
Zhao Liulang put his arm around his shoulder and said, "We're relatives, aren't we? We've been classmates for years, so isn't our relationship better than the Tang family's? If they can use connections, why can't I? Good brother, just give me a hand."
Bai Shan pulled his hand away and said, "You want to tire her to death."
He thought for a moment and said, "Just wait. Your Majesty is kind and compassionate. If the Imperial Hospital really can't do anything, the palace will issue an order."
Bai Shan was right. In the afternoon, Doctor Liu received an imperial decree and went to Duke Zhao's mansion. After seeing the Duke's wife, he went back to report to the Queen.
The Queen and the Emperor discussed it and finally called Xiao Yuanzheng to ask him to rearrange Zhou Man's work and allow her to visit the Duke of Zhao's Mansion tomorrow.
The Queen said, "Send Assistant Doctor Liu over to assist her. Ask Zhou Man to prescribe a prescription and then give Assistant Doctor Liu some advice. If it works, the Duke's wife can be handed over to Assistant Doctor Liu in the future."
Xiao Yuanzheng agreed and went to the imperial farm early the next morning with the queen's edict.
He arrived too early. Manbao had just come back from a run around the farm and had just washed his hands. He was holding a bowl of mutton soup and soaking some bread in it for breakfast.
Xiao Yuanzheng smelled something as soon as he entered the yard, so he strolled over and asked, "Why are you drinking mutton soup so early in the morning?"
Doctor Lu did not sit in the main hall to eat, but sat in the yard like Zhou Man, eating in the sun. Xiao Yuanzheng came so early in the morning and scared them both.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Yuanzheng sat next to them and looked at their soup. Jiulan, who was serving them, cleverly went to the kitchen and served a large bowl of soup to Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuanzheng took a pancake from the basket on the table, tore off a piece and dipped it in the soup. After taking a bite of the pancake, which was full of the flavor of mutton soup, his chest and abdomen felt refreshed. He said, "I'm here to replace Doctor Zhou today."
Xiao Yuanzheng said as he ate, "The wife of Duke Zhao is not feeling well. Your Majesty wants you to go and see her."
Manbao asked, "Why is it not good?"
Xiao Yuanzheng thought for a moment and said, "Imperial Physician Liu said it was kidney deficiency and overwork. This problem occurs to some extent in all older people. Moreover, the wife of the Duke of Zhao has experienced the turmoil of war, so it seems to be more serious."
It’s not just men who suffer from kidney deficiency, women can too!
Most of the back pain is caused by kidney deficiency and overwork.
The wife of Duke Zhao is the queen's sister-in-law. She is more than ten years older than the queen, so she is quite old.
Manbao understood what was going on as soon as she heard it. She nodded and said that she would take a walk around the ward and then leave.
Dean Xiao did not stop her. After all, she and Doctor Lu were the most familiar with the subjects here, so it would be helpful to go through them once to check for any omissions.
Xiao Yuanzheng said, "Dr. Lu and I will prepare today, and we will start the fourth round of vaccinations tomorrow."
Manbao agreed.
The three of them were not satisfied until they had eaten all the bread in the basket.
Manbao ate three whole, but she still felt it wasn't enough. She felt full after eating only two. Doctor Lu looked at her expressionlessly, then turned to Xiao Yuanzheng and said, "Our food isn't enough."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "Why are you drinking mutton soup so early in the morning? You can save this for lunch. Eggs, pancakes, and steamed buns are enough for the morning."
Manbao said, "This soup was cooked until noon. We chopped up the lamb rack last night and put it in the big pot to simmer. We thought it was so delicious that we wanted to have a bowl of it."
Xiao Yuanzheng understood, then glanced at the pancakes on the table and asked, "So you guys are going to eat pancakes in the morning?"
Doctor Lu pointed to a corner of the yard and said, "There are two more eggs."
Xiao Yuanzheng turned his head and saw that there were eggshells scattered in the room. Someone must have been standing there peeling eggs and eating them.
Xiao Yuanzheng: ...
He also looked at Zhou Man, and after a moment, he said with satisfaction: "Being able to eat is a blessing. It's okay, just eat. By the way, you can stay in the Zhaoguo Mansion for a while today and make sure everything is clear before coming back. You can also have dinner outside."
After that, he said, "See if the prescription you wrote is effective. If it is useful, give it to Assistant Doctor Liu to do it after you write the prescription."
Manbao led Xiao Yuanzheng around the ward, picked out a few patients who had recovered, and then went to bathe, change clothes, and strolled out of the imperial villa.
This time, not only could she go out by herself, but she could also bring someone with her.
So Manbao took Jiulan with him.
She said, "When we get to Duke Zhao's mansion, you can take Sanniang's carriage home and tell my sister-in-law that I'll be back for dinner tonight. And prepare some extra snacks for her. Humph, Xiao Yuanzheng and the others think I eat too much."
Jiulan was a little indignant. "My wife, how can you say you ate too much? You are still young and in the growth stage. And you are in the government office, and you can't even eat enough."
Manbao agreed with this.
When we arrived at the Duke of Zhao's mansion, a steward was already waiting there. After receiving the person, he enthusiastically led the person to the backyard and then to a guest room.
There were two maids waiting with two trays of clothes.
Manbao looked at it in surprise, "What is this for?"
The housekeeper who was waiting here immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "These are for bathing and changing clothes for the master. Look, the water in this room is made from our family's ancient recipe. Our wives and other wives love to use it..."
Manbao understood that this meant she was asked to take another bath.
She raised her eyebrows slightly.
Jiulan's face was filled with indignation. What did he mean? Did he dislike their wives? Then don't invite them!
The housekeeper was very nervous, but there was nothing she could do. This master had just come out of the imperial farm. Not only did they not dare to let her get close to him, but the masters in the backyard were also unwilling to let her get close to him.
Seeing that they were eager to stay eight feet away from her, Manbao smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Since it is the will of the Queen, I will obey. Put the clothes aside. Jiulan, go see if there is any soap. Wash my hair first."
See you at 6pm
