"Imperial Physician Zhou, Imperial Physician Zhou..."
Man Bao opened her eyes suddenly, and woke up from the bed. She raised her eyes and looked at the dark and strange place in front of her. It took a while to realize that she was in the Tai Hospital.
Man Bao heard that the knock on the door was still going on, so he quickly lifted the quilt to get up, pulled a coat and put it on, and went to open the door.
The assistant doctor who knocked on the door only took a look, then lowered his head, and quickly said: "Physician Zhou, the Empress Dowager is calling someone from the palace, and Physician Liu invites you to go out with me."
Man Bao responded and closed the door. She scratched her head before turning to get dressed.
She took the time to look at the system time, and found that it was already past two o'clock in the morning, it was too ugly, my God, it was the coldest time of the day.
Man Bao brushed his hair casually, then took the cloak on the shelf and put it on, feeling warm enough before going out with the medicine box.
Imperial Physician Liu also just got up, but he was already prepared, besides his own medicine box, he also brought emergency medicine.
The servants in the Empress Dowager's palace were standing by the door, and when they saw that Zhou Man had also arrived, they quickly carried a lantern to show them the way.
Man Bao asked, "What disease?"
The servant didn't speak, but Imperial Physician Liu said, "Cough, I see blood."
Man Bao was surprised, "Did the Queen Mother get sick before?"
Imperial Physician Liu said: "Yuan Xiao has been watching it all the time. He is taking medicine every day. I didn't expect to cough up blood tonight."
Coughing up blood is not a good sign.
Man Bao also knew that his pace was faster.
When the two arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace, many lights had already been lit inside and outside the palace, and the two stomped at the door, waiting for the cold to subside before entering.
Man Bao also untied the cloak and gave it to the maid.
The Queen Mother lay pale under the quilt, and coughed from time to time, which made Man Bao feel anxious, as if she wanted to cough out her heart and lungs.
After the two of them saluted, Imperial Physician Liu went forward to ask the doctor, and after a while, he gave up his seat to Zhou Man, and then stepped aside and asked the maid who served the Empress Dowager, "When did your mother cough?"
Man Bao touched the Queen Mother's pulse, sighed slightly in his heart, looked at her face again, and soon went to see the blood on the handkerchief with Doctor Liu.
The two looked at each other, and both whispered a few words of comfort to the Queen Mother, and then withdrew to discuss the illness.
Physician Liu said: "It is very difficult for medicine stones to take effect immediately. In acupuncture and moxibustion..."
Man Bao said: "It can alleviate one or two."
Imperial Physician Liu nodded, then stretched out a pen to prescribe the prescription, and prescribed three prescriptions in a row to discuss with Zhou Man, "Which one do you think is better."
Man Bao looked at it and clicked on one, "Use Bupleurum for this one, it's milder."
Imperial Physician Liu nodded after thinking for a moment, "Alright, what kind of acupuncture do you plan to use?"
Man Bao mentioned it, because she wanted to file it, so she simply wrote down the acupuncture method, the two of them discussed it, and after confirming that it was correct, Imperial Physician Liu recorded it in the file, and Man Bao went in with the needle bag to perform the needle.
The queen mother coughed very badly, and it was because it was so difficult to fall asleep that she coughed up blood that she called the imperial doctor temporarily.
After Man Bao entered, the maids put down the heavy curtains, and the grand maid began to help the queen mother remove her clothes, and the queen mother was uncomfortable lying on her stomach and doing the needles.
At first, the queen mother still couldn't hold back her cough, but after a few needles from Manbao, the queen mother's breath became much smoother, and the sound of wheezing and wheezing from her lungs became less.
Not only the queen mother, but also the maids serving in the queen mother's palace also felt the benefits of having a female doctor in the palace for the first time.
Acupuncture is indeed an instant and effective medical technique. If no imperial physician dared to use it on the Empress Dowager before, the Empress Dowager would not allow the imperial physician to offend her body.
But it's different now that there are female doctors.
The Empress Dowager's cough was not so severe anymore, the palace was in a panic, and the tired maids and servants were relieved a little.
The emperor and empress arrived only halfway through the full needle line.
Both husband and wife were woken up temporarily.
The emperor stayed outside to ask Doctor Liu about his condition, while the queen came in lightly. Seeing that Zhou Man was getting an injection, she raised her hand to stop the palace servants who were about to salute, and did not ask anyone to disturb her.
After finishing a set of acupuncture, Man Bao pulled out the needle and said to the Empress Dowager who was still a little uncomfortable: "Your Majesty, turn around, and I will perform another set of acupuncture for you."
The queen mother was supported by the maid to get up, but she was in some inconvenience and almost fell back on the bed.
The queen stepped forward and turned the queen mother over together with the maids. Only then did Man Bao see the queen, and hurriedly wanted to salute.
The queen helped the queen mother lie on the bed, and then said: "There is no need to be polite, quickly heal the queen mother."
Man Bao responded, pinched the needle and gave the queen mother another needle.
This time it was pierced in front of the face, the queen mother saw the long needle pierced in with her own eyes, her heart was still trembling, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Man.
Turning to talk to the queen, "Where's the emperor?"
"Your Majesty is outside, does the Queen Mother want to see His Majesty?"
The Empress Dowager sighed, "It's cold, and he's not in good health. What are you doing running out?"
Man Bao thought while getting the needle, compared with the queen mother, the emperor is considered a stalwart, why is he not in good health
The queens are weaker than him.
But the queen mother didn't think so, she said: "It's cold at night, he has old injuries, he doesn't like to stress himself now, and he will suffer from pain again later. There is an imperial doctor here, and I feel much better. You and the emperor go back to rest let's go."
The queen said: "The queen mother is relieved, the brazier is lit in the palace, and the palace servants will take good care of your majesty, but you, your majesty heard that you are sick, and can't sit still for a moment. If you drive him back, I'm afraid he will feel uneasy. Worse."
The queen mother frowned, sighed after a while and said: "Forget it, let someone clean up the greenhouse next to it and let him lie down in it. There will be sacrifices during the winter festival. He has something to do. Don't be tired." caught."
The queen complied, and then glanced at the maid, who took the order and went out to spread the message.
The queen mother and the queen had nothing to say, and when they turned their heads and saw Zhou Man twist a longer needle on her body, the queen mother's heart trembled again, so she could only continue to look away, looking for something to talk to Zhou Man, "Prince Is the concubine and the little emperor's grandson healthy?"
Zhou Man was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was asking her, and nodded quickly, "It's pretty good."
The queen mother sighed, "The Ai family only met the little grandson once."
The little emperor's grandson was still young, and it was cold outside, not to mention the East Palace, he had never even been out of the main courtyard of the Crown Princess, and the Queen Mother only saw the child once after the third bath, and she went to see it herself.
Although Man Bao is not very familiar with the Queen Mother, he has always been familiar with the speech, so he said while getting the needle: "It's nothing, I will see you when the empress recovers."
The Queen Mother just glanced at her and said nothing.
The queen had already scolded: "Silly child, the queen mother is an elder, how can the little grandson let the queen mother go to see it? Queen mother, when you are well, I will ask the princess to bring the child to you to have a look at."
The empress dowager shook her head and said, "Forget it, I've been taking medicine here, be careful to get sick and give him a cold outside, he is too young to move, let the princess take it with me."
The mother on the side joked, "The little emperor's grandson will be two years old, maybe he misses his great-grandmother too."
Man Bao couldn't help but pause with his needle-twisting hands, and looked up at Mammy in surprise.
The little grandson, who was only one month and one day old, kicked his legs in his sleep, completely unaware that he would be two years old in just over a month.
