The queen is not easy to answer.
Man Bao dropped the needle, twirled it and then moved another needle, for fear that the queen mother would really let the princess come over with the little grandson in her arms.
The weather is really cold now, even if the empress dowager's sickness is not counted, it is not suitable for the crown prince and the little grandson to go out at this time.
It's not close to here from the East Palace.
So Man Bao said: "I also like to count false years. I am sixteen now, but in fact I have only passed my fourteenth birthday. It sounds older than others."
The queen dowager, who was not happy to watch Zhou Man get the needle, couldn't help but glanced at her, and said lightly: "False is, after all, false, and the young grandson is only more than two months old, and it hasn't been a hundred days yet." Woolen cloth."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, answered "Yes" with a smile, and then said: "But the child grows up fast, and he will grow up in the blink of an eye. When the little emperor's grandson is one year old, Your Majesty still wants him to be a part of your blessing." , when the time comes, catch Zhou in the mother's harem."
The queen mother smiled and replied: "That's good, the child grows fast, don't look at him, he is only one month old now, he will be one year old in the blink of an eye, and we have to prepare things for the week."
Queen should be.
The nanny standing beside her wisely stopped interjecting.
Man Bao twisted the needle, and the queen mother stopped coughing for a long time.
She counted the time and pulled out the needle, and the queen and maid immediately put on the clothes for the queen mother. It just so happened that the medicine they prescribed was ready.
The Empress Dowager took the medicine, sat and talked for a while, and felt sleepy. It should be the sedative medicine that worked.
Man Bao and the queen retreated out, the maid turned off two lamps, the curtain became much darker, and the empress dowager began to take longer breaths.
The emperor stayed outside all the time and did not go to rest. When he saw the empress and Zhou Man coming out, he got up and asked, "What's the matter?"
The queen comforted her softly: "The queen mother has already fallen asleep."
The hardest thing to do with a cough is fall asleep.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Man, "When will the Queen Mother be cured?"
When Man Bao heard this, he looked at Imperial Physician Liu in surprise, and Imperial Physician Liu quietly raised his head to look at her, and shook his head slightly.
Man Bao was at a loss, what does this mean
Did he not tell the emperor, or did he say nothing
Oh, she and Imperial Physician Liu don't have a good understanding.
Seeing her staring at Imperial Physician Liu, the emperor stared at her, "I'm asking you, what do you see Imperial Physician Liu doing?"
Man Bao looked away and decided to follow her own steps. After deliberating for a while, she lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's illness is not easy to cure..."
The emperor's face was ugly.
Man Bao said softly: "Your Majesty is getting old, it is due to chronic illness and tuberculosis, so..."
Doctor Liu couldn't help but cleared his throat, then took Zhou Man's words and said, "Your Majesty, the empress dowager is over seventy years old. Looking at the Great Jin Dynasty, there are not many people who can live so long. The illness of the empress is still mainly resting." , calm anger, less sadness and joy, and then add acupuncture and moxibustion medicine, there will always be a better time."
How could it possibly get better? The Empress Dowager's pulse condition is already at the end of her strength.
Man Bao slandered in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
The emperor thought to himself that he only said that he was getting better, but not that he was cured, which meant that the queen mother could not be cured.
The emperor frowned, feeling a little sad in his heart, and didn't speak for a while, but listening to Doctor Liu's words really made him feel much better.
Although Imperial Physician Liu had already expressed this meaning before, and now he just changed his words, but the emperor still wanted to ask Zhou Man.
After all, everyone said before that Yin might be at the end of his strength, and he might not survive the past two years, but now, isn't he living better and better
Seeing Zhou Man standing aside with his head bowed, he knew that she also agreed with Doctor Liu's diagnosis.
The emperor sighed, waved his hand, turned and left.
The queen made people wait on the queen mother carefully, and then chased him with the emperor's cloak.
Watching the supreme couple leave, Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Imperial Physician Liu: "It's rare to see Your Majesty like this."
Physician Liu glanced at her, her mother was seriously ill and was about to die, why don't she show Long Wei
Physician Liu and Man Bao could not go back to the imperial hospital right away, but took a nap around the fire in the side hall and waited until the queen mother was asleep to make sure she would not get sick again before leaving.
It was almost midnight by the time they could leave.
The sky was still dark, they declined the escort from the servants in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and carried a lantern and a medicine box to the Tai Hospital.
Because they hadn't reached the time when the gates of the courtyards were unlocked, they had to wait a while to pass through each gate, and checked their ID tokens before they could pass.
Walking in the long and narrow corridor, Man Bao stretched out his hands to gather up his cloak, and his whole head was huddled in the furry hat. Even when he was walking, he was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep.
Doctor Liu was also a little sleepy, because he was afraid that there would be ice on the road, so he walked slowly and steadily with every step, and there was no one in the corridor, so he said: "In the future, when you encounter a patient who cannot be cured, let the family members listen to it." Destiny."
Man Bao said: "But I think His Majesty just wants to break the casserole and ask the end."
She whispered: "I always thought that the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager was not very good."
"It's not very harmonious, but there's no such thing as an overnight feud between mother and child," said the doctor Liu, "No matter how angry you are, the person will die at this moment, and the rest will naturally be good. As doctors, we can't Do things that are close to each other."
"I know, you can't stay close, and I never speak ill of the queen mother in front of the emperor."
Imperial Physician Liu nodded in satisfaction, and then asked about their specialty, "Do you think that with acupuncture, the Empress Dowager's illness may survive the spring?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "It depends on the weather. If the weather is good, maybe the condition will be slightly relieved. After the spring, it will be easier in the winter of the next year."
Imperial Physician Liu also nodded, "Yes, winter is tough."
Life and death sometimes depend on the season and climate. Why are there so many funerals in winter? It is because of the cold weather that the physical activity is also weakened. Many elderly people are so weak that they cannot survive.
Physician Liu pinched his fingers to count the time, and said, "There are still three months, after these three months it will be fine."
After talking about professional issues, Imperial Physician Liu began to talk about family affairs, he asked vaguely: "Do you think I want to make a marriage for San Niang, she is not young..."
Otherwise, during the national funeral, as a family member of the imperial physician, she would not be able to get engaged for at least three months or half a year.
Man Bao was not very happy, "She is still studying, and she has to go to the Tai Hospital after finishing her studies. Can she still enter the Tai Hospital after she gets married?"
Imperial Physician Liu: "... If you do the math, I guess she won't be able to get married in her whole life."
She said: "Doctor Zhou, you can't do this to our Liu family."
"Then you can't harm me and the empress, let alone Sanniang," Man Bao said, "She was trained by the empress, first you say that the family you promised her will allow her to enter the palace as an official after marriage." son?"
Physician Liu...:...
Doctor Liu is not sure.
