Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zhuang are anxiously waiting for them at home.
Mr. Zhuang, who has always been calm and indifferent, couldn't help pacing in the yard. As soon as he heard the servants coming to report that Man Bao and the others had returned, he immediately exchanged glances with Mrs. Liu, turned around and went out.
Man Bao and the others jumped out of the car, each holding their own medicine box and book basket, chatting as usual.
Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw their relaxed faces, and after standing still, he waved and called, "Man Bao, come here."
Only then did Man Bao see Mr. Zhuang, and immediately ran forward, "Sir, did you call me?"
Mr. Zhuang glanced around at the servants standing everywhere, turned around and said, "Let's go, let's talk in the backyard."
Mrs. Liu also walked to the second gate, and when she saw Man Bao, she took her hand and looked up and down. She was relieved to see that she was fine, and asked with a smile, "Which noble person in the palace wants to see you?"
"There are many," Man Bao said: "The emperor, empress, princes, and daughters have all seen each other, but they mainly enter the palace to treat the empress."
In the backyard, only Liu Momo and Daji were left here, and the rest of the servants retreated. Only then did Man Bao explain in detail what happened when he entered the palace today.
Mrs. Liu gasped when she heard Man Bao say that she was admonishing the emperor not to give amnesty to the world. Before she could say anything about her, Mr. Zhuang asked, "Can you cure the queen's illness?"
After thinking for a while, Man Bao shook his head and said, "It's very difficult to treat, but I will study hard during this time and try to get treatment."
Mr. Zhuang lowered his voice and asked, "Can it be relieved?"
"This is fine."
After pondering for a while, Mr. Zhuang asked, "In your opinion, how long do you think the Queen's condition would have been without you?"
Mrs. Liu was taken aback, and Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at Mr. Zhuang in surprise.
Man Bao scratched his head, thinking longer.
She said with some uncertainty: "I have read their prescriptions before, and I have also asked about their previous treatment plan. Without the assistance of acupuncture and medicinal baths, I am afraid that the Queen's illness cannot be suppressed."
Man Bao became more confident as he spoke, nodded and said: "That's right, and the queen is too worried and her liver qi is depressed. No matter how much medicine she takes, it won't help. She can't sleep well, and this symptom will only worsen faster, so It can only last about half a year, and if it is longer, it will be less than a year."
Not only Mrs. Liu, but also Mr. Zhuang, who had already prepared himself, was taken aback, "So serious?"
Man Bao nodded, "So the prescriptions that Xiao Yuan is prescribing are all conservative prescriptions."
Man Bao heard from Imperial Physician Fan and Doctor Ji that prescribing this kind of prescription basically gave up much hope, and it was just to make the patient less painful at the end.
But what the queen suffers from is a very painful disease, coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and even headaches and deafness. Although Man Bao has never experienced it, judging from the description in the book, it is a kind of A long-lasting and excruciating disease.
Bai Shan quickly asked: "Then you come to treat..."
Man Bao: "If I manage it alone, I'm afraid I won't even have half a year."
Everyone: ...
Man Bao said with a serious face: "What I said is true, although I only communicated with Xiao Yuanzheng and the others for an hour, but they are really powerful, and the prescriptions they prescribe are much better than mine. I only have some acupuncture methods that are slightly stronger than them, but they actually know a lot. This time I communicated with them, and I changed two acupuncture methods. I want to try it on the queen. I guess the effect Should be better."
This time, no one interrupted her to talk about medical matters. Although most of them still didn't understand, they also understood one thing.
Man Bao's medical skills are far inferior to Xiao Yuanzheng and the others, but she also has her strengths. If she only treats the queen on one side, the effect of Man Bao's side may not be as good as Xiao Yuanzheng and the others.
But the cooperation between the two parties can not only bring out the strengths of both parties, but also make progress together to find better treatment methods.
Man Bao said: "With the Queen's current state, I don't need to think about heart problems. As long as she can get acupuncture well, take medicine, and take medicine baths, she should be able to live in about two years, and she will be better than now." .”
Bai Shan was surprised to hear, "Why don't you want to cure her heart disease?"
Man Bao glanced at him and said: "Didn't you teach me, and she is a queen, even she can't solve it by herself, how can I, a little doctor, solve it?"
Bai Shan praised, "It's really something a child can teach."
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but patted him on the head: "Naughty, she is your senior sister."
Man Bao: "Yes."
Mr. Zhuang said: "In this case, you should do your best, but you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace. You have to remember that when you enter the palace, you are a doctor, and you should only do the work of a doctor."
Knowing that Mr. Zhuang did not agree with what she said to the emperor, Man Bao nodded in response.
Seeing that she listened, Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, "Okay, you go and rest for a while, aren't you still going to Xiao Yuanzheng's house to discuss medical skills?"
Man Bao went to rest.
Mr. Zhuang sent Bai Shan and Bai Erlang away, and he discussed things with Mrs. Liu in the study.
Bai Shan stood silently in the yard, and finally chose to look for Man Bao, "Go to Xiao's house, do you want me to accompany you?"
Man Bao thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, just let Daji take me there, don't you still have to do your homework?"
Bai Shan nodded, "Then I'm going to do my homework."
Bai Erlang followed behind Bai Shandao's buttocks, blinked and said, "But I don't have homework?"
Man Bao said: "Then you and I will go to the main house of Xiao Yuan?"
Bai Erlang was about to respond, when he suddenly thought of something, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "I'm not going, I remembered, I still have to prepare my homework, you go."
At this time, Xiao Yuanzheng was also discussing Man Bao with his confidantes, mainly because of the queen's illness.
As imperial physicians, of course they couldn't, and they didn't dare to tell the emperor that the queen's illness was only about half a year, or even less.
They can only treat as best they can, and then resign themselves to fate.
However, as the queen's attending imperial physician, Xiao Yuanzheng knew the queen's condition well, and often felt the queen's pulse, and of course the imperial physicians who worked with Xiao Yuanzheng to identify symptoms also knew it.
In fact, they all knew in their hearts that the reason why the Queen's illness became so serious was partly due to her body, and partly because the affairs of the court and the royal family were intertwined, which made the Queen think too much.
But they are little imperial doctors, what can they do
You can tell the queen, don't think so much, it's useless to think about it, it's better to let it go; you can still tell the emperor, you take care of the affairs of the court and your family, and don't let the queen bother; or tell the prince , you hurry up to have a son, or tell the third prince, don't take aim at your elder brother's throne...
There are so many troubles in this world, all they can do is tell the queen to relax.
Knowing that the disease was incurable, the treatment was very conservative, aimed at minimizing the queen's suffering.
But now that Zhou Man has been added, Xiao Yuanzheng feels that they have to change their plan now. He feels that the queen's illness can still be fought.
In this regard, he is much more confident than Man Baoke.
