Xiang Mingxue raised his eyebrows high, and asked with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry, you want to hear gossip before you settle down here?"
Bai Shan said: "Man Bao has been called into the palace."
The smile on Xiang Mingxue's face faded a bit, he thought for a while and said, "It should be fine, don't worry."
He sat on the stone bench in the yard and said: "I don't know the details, but I heard that the crown prince had a banquet after the end of the year and was very drunk. Many people said that he failed in all his achievements, and he may have broken his health."
Bai Shan: ...
At this time, Eunuch Wu was also explaining this matter to Man Bao, but unlike Xiang Mingxue's calm tone, he was very worried, and explained in more detail, "... who knows that there will be problems with the wine at the imperial banquet? His Highness knew that it was not suitable to drink alcohol. He had been drinking rice wine since he needed to have a banquet, and he did not drink too much. But the wine in the flagon that day was not rice wine, nor was it white wine. It’s almost white water, and a little sweet.”
Mr. Wu said: "Your Highness thought it was a new wine from Fanbang, and it didn't taste much, it was sweet and tasted like sugar water, so he didn't ask anyone to change it."
"As a result, I drank more and more, and then the alcohol rushed up, and His Highness was drunk, and he vomited a lot." Eunuch Wu said cautiously: "At that time, I asked the imperial doctor to see, and the imperial doctor said that His Highness drank too much. It turned out that he was poisoned by alcohol, and then His Highness sweated all over his body, and he accidentally blew a cold wind, and he fell ill immediately."
Eunuch Wu still had lingering fears when he brought up this matter, so he asked Man Bao cautiously, "Little Doctor Zhou, if you break the precept, will His Highness be in bad health?"
Man Bao asked, "Did Your Highness still drink after that time?"
Eunuch Wu sighed a few times, but still whispered: "Your Highness was very angry. He had a bad temper in those few days, so he accidentally drank some."
To put it bluntly, it was because he felt that all his previous efforts had been wasted, so he broke the jar.
Seeing Man Bao frowning, he immediately said: "But the Crown Princess quickly persuaded her, Your Highness hasn't drunk a single drop in the past ten days."
Man Bao nodded, "Let's talk about it after meeting His Highness."
Eunuch Wu was very anxious, so he could only hint: "Little Doctor Zhou, if His Highness's condition changes, why not talk to the Crown Princess first."
As for whether to tell the prince or not, let the masters decide, otherwise what you say is unsatisfactory and what should you do if you are angered
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Man Bao and Eunuch Wu entered the palace after inspection, and they started to walk to the East Palace.
After entering the East Palace, the palace servants who had received the news earlier were already waiting, and hurriedly led them to meet the crown prince.
The prince does not live with the princess now, but empties out a study room to live in it. Obviously, the husband and wife also have a rift because of this incident. You know, every time she came to see the prince before, it was always In the main room, the princess and concubine are all in the room.
Just as Man Bao walked up the steps, the Crown Princess hurried over from the other side. Seeing Man Bao, she breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason she felt aggrieved.
She stepped forward and grabbed Man Bao's hand and said: "Little Doctor Zhou, you are back..."
On the way, she once wanted someone to go to Mianzhou to invite them back, but thinking about it, it would take four or five days to go from the capital to Mianzhou even on a fast horse, and it was impossible for Zhou Man to be as fast as the guards on the return journey. back.
Therefore, it would take at least eight or nine days to ride in a carriage. Calculated in this way, it was almost the same time as the time she had originally agreed to come back.
That's why she didn't let people go through this much.
The princess personally pulled Manbao into the room, and as soon as he opened the door, a gust of heat rushed towards his face. Manbao stood still and got used to it before turning around the screen with the princess, and saw that he was wearing a middle coat and leaning halfway. The prince on the couch.
The prince raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then stretched out his hand and said, "Here you come? Come, come, show Gu, can Gu give birth to a son and a half in this lifetime?"
The crown prince's eyes turned red, tears almost came down, but there were outsiders, she still held back, pulled Man Bao and said to the waiter who was waiting on the side: "Go get the pulse pillow."
Man Bao felt that the Prince's demeanor was not right, but he saluted him first, and then sat on the stool beside the couch. She sniffed it carefully and confirmed that the Prince hadn't drunk before letting go of his heart.
She observed the prince's expression, and although she felt that his expression was different, his expression was not bad, so she said nothing, and when the palace man brought the medicine box, she took the pulse pillow and put it on the low table on the couch, carefully Feel the pulse of the prince.
Man Bao asked, "Your Highness hasn't indulged in sex these days, has he?"
The prince's face was instantly livid, and he asked, "Can't you tell if Gu is indulgent or not?"
The princess on the side hurriedly patted her hair, "Doctor Zhou is also to make sure."
She turned her head to answer Man Bao's words, "The prince is very restrained, not indulgent."
Man Bao nodded, then withdrew his hand and said, "It's okay, just another month of needles will be enough."
The prince looked at him suspiciously, "It's okay to be alone and drunk?"
Man Bao said: "It's just once, and it's not because I'm addicted to alcohol all the time, it's just that I need to spend more time recuperating."
She said: "If Your Highness is impatient, I can shorten the acupuncture time to once every other day, so the effect will be better."
There was anger in the prince's eyes, "Since the effect of the needle injection on the next day is good, why did you slow down to get it every two days, every three days, and even every five days?"
Man Bao explained in a gentle tone, "His Royal Highness, the body needs a period of recovery after the acupuncture, it will adjust itself, and after adapting to the next course of treatment, after accumulating enough time, the body's foundation can be laid. For this."
"Your illness is not an emergency, so there is no rush for treatment," she said: "Your current state has congenital causes, but more of it is acquired, all because of your premature contact with women, and you don't know how to control it. Three feet is not a day's cold, how can you ask for the three feet of ice to be removed in a short time?"
"But I think that what you want more than thick books is the immediate effect. It's up to His Highness to decide how to choose."
The prince's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but look up at the princess standing beside him.
The Crown Princess did not expect such a choice. For a while, she and the Crown Prince looked at each other tenderly. The husband and wife remained silent, as if they had reached a certain consensus in silence.
The prince withdrew his hand, his body which had been crooked couldn't help but sit up straight, and he said coldly: "You all step back."
Eunuch Wu immediately retreated with all the palace people in the palace. Man Bao stood up hesitantly, thinking whether to go out with him, when the princess grabbed his hand.
The prince glared at her, and Man Bao stopped.
After everyone went out and the door was closed, the prince asked: "If I choose the latter, how long will it take for people to conceive?"
