The emperor sat on the couch with a sullen face and did not speak. Man Bao put the medicine box aside and stood respectfully.
The emperor stayed quietly for a while, and after thinking about his own thoughts, he raised his head to look at Zhou Man, and asked, "Is there really no other way for Mr. Wei's body?"
Man Bao replied "Yes", and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, a person's mind is limited, and the mind is exhausted. If you can't rest in peace, this disease can't be cured." For example, the Queen.
The queen's health has improved a lot in the past two years, but that's only because of the bracelet, and there are fewer respiratory diseases.
But the body is still weak, and every once in a while, especially when the seasons change, the body will not be able to stand the changes of cold and heat and get sick.
In the final analysis, it is because the mind is too exhausted and the body is weak, which makes it more prone to illness than ordinary people.
It's just that of the empress and Wei Zhi, one showed it outside, and the other didn't. So the empress has been using medicine to recuperate, but Wei Zhi hasn't.
The emperor said sadly: "No matter what medicine is used, I will make people look for it."
"Your Majesty, Master Wei's illness cannot be treated with heavy medicines. Even now, he should take rest and recuperate, and he should be treated with decoctions. After a while, he should change to honey pills, so that the medicines are weaker and less toxic."
The emperor frowned, "Can't even good medicine be used?"
"Your honey, that's arsenic." Man Bao said: "Master Wei has already hurt the root, and the inside is empty, and he needs to be warmed up slowly. If you use heavy medicine..."
Even if the emperor doesn't know much about medicine, he knows what the consequences of this are.
The emperor thought about it, "I remember that Yin Ju's health has never been good. The old doctor Tan also said that he had a bad foundation and was empty inside."
"There are indeed similarities, but Mr. Wei is caused by his own fatigue the day after tomorrow, while Yin is born. Although the most fundamental point is different, the symptoms are very similar."
"It has long been rumored that Yin may die young, but isn't he living well now?"
"Yes, how good is his life?" Man Bao said, "He doesn't have to worry about state affairs, and he doesn't have to worry about his studies. When he's tired, he can rest. If he's in a bad mood, he can go out to relax. One needle, Your Majesty, besides the last two points, Mr. Wei can see that, which one of the first can be done?"
"This disease is the least tiring, and the least energy-consuming. You and Mr. Wei don't want to rest. This cuts off the most basic way."
Yin or how happy he is now, he used to be like a tool man, the pressure of the whole family's heirs was on him, so no matter how expensive the medicine he took, the effect was not very good, he fell ill every now and then, every now and then In one or two years, a new coffin will be prepared for the celebration.
But now his sixth sister's children are all born, and the surname is Yin. Now the old lady only cares about his body, and occasionally worries that he will not marry, but she will not force him like before.
He has his own house again, and spends most of the ten days living in his own county mansion, very comfortable.
It's even better now, he graduated directly from the Chongwen Museum, he is happy to go shopping, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he can use the gold and silver at home;
If you are not happy, you can still go to Huguo Temple to talk about Zen with Master Zhiren, and you can also ask Bai Shan and others from Shangxiaya to go out and chat, chatting, it is not too comfortable.
Can Wei Zhi do it now
Of course it is impossible, the emperor cannot leave Wei Zhi for the time being, and Wei Zhi does not want to leave the emperor for the time being.
At this time, the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other reluctantly like lovers who were about to be separated by force. In the end, the emperor ordered Zhou Man to treat Wei Zhi, and at the same time forced Wei Zhi to rest for two days.
He felt he had to ask the Queen's opinion.
As for the opinions of the court officials, the emperor didn't want to ask, and even wanted Zhou Man to conceal Wei Zhi's illness, "After you went out, you said that you had a wrong diagnosis, and Mr. Wei just had heat stroke just like me."
He also said: "Two copies of his pulse case should be made, and the other one should be put together with mine."
Man Bao was stunned for a moment, then bowed in response.
Xiao Yuanzheng said that now the Imperial Medical Office is different from the Imperial Hospital. The Imperial Medical Office is an institution of the imperial court, so there is no need to listen to the emperor, but to discuss the matter as it stands;
However, the Imperial Hospital still only obeys the emperor's order. The emperor's order is the highest rule, and under his order, all rules can be changed.
Man Bao bowed and retreated. Bai Shan and Master Wei had already finished playing a game of chess, and the two of them just sat there and talked about state affairs without moving.
It just so happens that a Zhongshu province and a sect province are well-matched.
Seeing Zhou Man coming out with the medicine box, both of them looked over, Bai Shan subconsciously stood up to meet him, took two steps before realizing it, paused for a moment, then walked aside with a calm smile.
Lord Wei glanced at him, then asked Zhou Man, "Master Zhou, where is Your Majesty?"
Only then did Man Bao realize that he had forgotten a major event—forgot to give the emperor medicine and moxibustion.
She said with some distress: "Your Majesty is in the room, Mr. Wei, Your Majesty invites you to come in."
Lord Wei withdrew his gaze from her face and got up to look for the emperor.
As soon as he left, Bai Shan stepped forward, looked her up and down and asked, "Did you eat breakfast?"
Man Bao was taken aback for a moment, then felt very hungry, covered his stomach for a while and didn't speak.
Bai Shan sighed, "It's time for lunch..."
So you didn't even eat breakfast.
Man Bao whispered: "I went to bed too late last night, and it was cool in the palace, so I accidentally got up late..."
Originally, she wanted to have breakfast after playing Wu Qin Xi, who knew that the emperor would suddenly complain of a stomachache
Bai Shan could only sigh, he took a look inside, because he was under the eyes of the emperor, so he didn't dare to say too much here, but he looked around and saw that there was some snacks on the table not far away, Then he walked over and took it over and put it on the edge of the chessboard, and pinched a piece for her to eat.
Man Bao glanced at it, and saw that it was the emperor's favorite food, so he reached out to take it, bowed his head and ate it.
There were not many desserts on the plate, they were rice cakes and red bean cakes that the emperor usually ate, and there was also a piece of mung bean cake, which he ate in small bites.
When the emperor and Wei Zhi finished talking, they saw an empty plate between them.
Bai Shan and Man Bao immediately stood up and saluted.
The emperor glanced at them and said, "Bai Sheren and Zhou Qing stay and have lunch with us."
The two bowed down and accompanied the emperor to have lunch.
The emperor often gave banquets to his courtiers, not to mention Wei Zhi, Man Bao didn't know how many times he had eaten with the emperor, so he was not nervous at all. Bai Shan occasionally had this opportunity after entering the Imperial Academy, so he was calm.
The four sat down to eat, and the emperor began to sigh while eating, his face mourning.
Wei Zhi asked with a flat face: "Does your majesty still have a stomachache?"
