The emperor and the empress kept Man Bao talking for nearly an hour, digging out all of Bai Cheng's family background, even knowing that when he was a child, he was taken to school by his servants with his eyes closed.
The emperor listened with gusto, and then said to the empress, "It's far worse than our family's Mingda."
That's what he said, but after Zhou Man left, he still left Bai Cheng on the list, and only two people were selected by him. Coincidentally, except for Bai Cheng, these two are from the capital .
Firstly, the emperor saw that they were interested in being son-in-law, and secondly, their family was in the capital, and Mingda could stay in the capital in the future, so they could take care of them in the palace.
Seeing the list he made, the queen said directly: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Mingda."
She said: "The child just met someone today, ask her what she means."
The emperor naturally wanted to ask Mingda's opinion. Not only did he want to ask, but he also decided to let Mingda get along with others first, and then issue a decree to marry him when there was no problem. That's what Changyu did at that time.
Mingda blushed slightly and lowered his head, raised his head after a while, looked at the emperor with moist and bright eyes, and said, "Father, I think Bai Cheng is good."
The emperor was taken aback, but he didn't expect her to be so sure, so he couldn't help asking: "Why Bai Cheng?"
Mingda naturally wouldn't tell the emperor that she liked him a little before, but said: "Zhou Man is a good character, I don't think her juniors are too bad, and I saw them today, Bai Cheng is the most pleasing to the eye .”
This sounded like what a daughter's family would say, so the emperor smiled and said, "Okay, since you've taken a fancy to him, you can go to the Chongwen Museum to see him from time to time, and if you're not satisfied, we'll change it."
Evidently, he did not intend to seal the marriage right away.
Mingda was not sorry, and nodded in response.
The emperor looked at the little daughter in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, "Mingda has also grown up."
Mingda lowered his head and pursed his lips into a smile. The father and daughter were sitting together silently drinking tea when they had some free time. Gu Zhong suddenly stepped in. When he saw the father and daughter sitting on the couch, he couldn't help but pause. .
The emperor put down his teacup and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Zhong hesitated.
The emperor frowned, stood up and asked, "Is there an urgent report?"
"No," Gu Zhong paused, then bowed his head and said, "It's someone from His Royal Highness Prince Gong who came to report. His third highness's leg seems... not good."
The emperor stared and stepped forward quickly, "What did you say?"
Gu Zhong knelt down, lying on the ground and said: "Xiao Yuanzheng, Imperial Physician Liu, Imperial Physician Zheng, and Imperial Physician Zhou are all at His Highness's place."
Mingda also stood up in shock, because he was too anxious, he hesitated for a while, and stretched out his hand to support the table before he stood still.
The emperor regained his senses when he heard the movement, and immediately turned back to support Mingda, comforted her and then said to the maids: "Help the princess down."
"Father..."
"Father, go and have a look. Don't be in a hurry. Don't tell her about your mother's place, lest she be in a hurry."
After finishing speaking, let Mingda be sent back, and then hurriedly walked to King Gong's palace with Gu Zhong, the emperor's face was very gloomy along the way, "What can't be called bad? Hasn't he been recovering from his injuries, and he can already walk on the ground?" Yet?"
Gu Zhong was sweating on his forehead, and reported while walking quickly: "It is said that the bone has grown crookedly, and he can go to the ground, but he is a little limping when he walks..."
It's just that ordinary people can't accept that a good person is lame, let alone an emperor.
At this time, Man Baozheng and Xiao Yuanzheng were examining Prince Gong who was being held down together. Both of them looked very ugly, ignoring Prince Gong who was being pressed on the bed crying and howling. It just grew crookedly, and it was about to heal. The two of them calculated the time needed for the bone to grow, and it took at least forty days for it to be crooked.
And it has been more than two months since Prince Gong's leg was broken, obviously he was crooked from behind.
During that time, Yuan Xiao and Imperial Physician Liu were in charge.
Xiao Yuan was standing a little unsteadily, Man Bao hurriedly supported him, and helped him to sit down on the footrest.
Recently, he has been guarding the Queen Mother, and he couldn't sleep well at first, and now his brain was throbbing with pain. He turned his head and glanced at Prince Gong who was losing his temper, and ground his teeth. He didn't want to sit here, so he simply Holding Zhou Man's hand, he stood up and stumbled out.
Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zheng also retreated immediately, and the servants and maids in the palace immediately stepped forward to serve the angry Prince Gong.
Arriving at the outer hall, Imperial Physician Zheng couldn't help asking eagerly: "Did you make a wrong connection at the beginning?"
Xiao Yuan was gritting his teeth, and said with difficulty: "No!"
"No?" Imperial Physician Zheng couldn't help shouting: "Then it was connected right from the beginning, how could it grow crooked?"
This is the royal family, not the poor people outside. If a leg is broken, there is no livelihood. After the leg is reconnected, they have to work or something, and the reconnected leg may be crooked again.
One must know that they have always taken good care of Prince Gong, so how could the legs be crooked
Imperial Physician Liu also felt that it was impossible to make a wrong connection, "When Prince Gong sent it back, Xiao Yuanzheng and I checked it. The leg was indeed connected at that time. We touched it carefully. As Zhou Man said, it seemed that there was still stickiness. Lian, it was not completely disconnected, she connected it well, and there was no mistake."
Imperial Physician Liu paused at this point, frowning tightly, "But after Prince Gong returned to the palace, we have been taking good care of him, and he didn't use too much force on his legs, how could he be crooked?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said dejectedly: "I realized something was wrong a long time ago. I was negligent and trusted His Royal Highness too much."
Man Bao has already seen the current scan data of Prince Gong from Ke Ke. The leg is indeed crooked. After looking at the crooked condition and the wear and tear of the bone, it is obviously caused by improper force behind. That is to say, Prince Gong used his leg quietly. up.
Based on her understanding of him, if he uses his legs carelessly, he will definitely go to the imperial physician in pain, and when he seeks the imperial physician, it is impossible for Xiao Yuan to not know about it, and it is impossible not to deal with it.
Obviously, he did it on purpose!
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "When I applied the medicine to him in the first ten days, I felt something was wrong, and there was always some swelling when I touched it. I asked him if he had any strength and if it hurt, and he said no."
He said: "It has been sixty-two days since his bones were reattached, and he can go down to the ground for a while, but when I was around, no matter how much I persuaded him, he refused to go down to the ground. Alas, I should have known it earlier. If something is wrong, he should be forcefully checked."
Imperial Physician Zheng looked bewildered, "Yes, but why is he doing this?"
The three of Xiao Yuanzheng stopped talking, for what, the devil knows what he is for.
Man Bao said: "Don't worry about his reason, the important thing now is how to put his leg back, otherwise he will be limping."
But Xiao Yuanzheng suddenly remembered something, and said through gritted teeth: "Prince Gong once asked me, if the bones grow crooked, can I go back straight."
Physician Liu and others looked at Xiao Yuanzheng in shock, and Man Bao asked cautiously, "So what you said is..."
"I said, in theory, it's fine to interrupt and reconnect."
Three people: ...
