The emperor was very busy all day, so he didn't have time to read the letter from the prince, and then he forgot it. Doctor Tan's diagnosis showed that Wei Zhi's health was not optimistic.
He was not very happy and didn't want to think about private matters anymore, so he devoted himself to the book, trying to numb himself with business affairs.
It was almost noon the next day when I remembered that the prince seemed to have sent a letter.
After a wave of discussions, we are taking a halftime break.
The emperor flipped through the things on the case, and only then saw the letter sent by the prince, so he opened it casually.
Only after seeing Emperor Xin did he realize how turbulent the messages outside were. He glanced at the ministers in the room, snorted coldly in his heart, but said gently on his face: "I feel much better today. Doctor Zhou has made a contribution. Come here!" People, go to the warehouse and find two bolts of silk cloth as rewards for her."
Gu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then bowed to answer.
The ministers below complimented him with unchanged expressions: "If your majesty is good, the world is good."
"God bless, Your Majesty will live a long and healthy life..."
Look at who doesn't know that it is Wei Zhi who is sick, you are just a cover.
But there are not many people in the world who can make the emperor voluntarily become a courtier under the guise, right
Han Shangshu and the others quietly glanced at Wei Zhi, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like someone who has only been around for a few years.
Looking alive and kicking, there is no problem at all.
After the emperor visited Zhou Man, after lunch, he took the ministers out for a walk along the shade of the tree to digest food, so that everyone could see his long face, and the matter of being seriously ill was resolved.
At this time, Man Bao and the old doctor Tan had returned to the capital, she first sent the old doctor Tan back to the Tan family, and then reluctantly led the horse away.
The old imperial doctor Tan was also a little reluctant to part with him, and he gained a lot from exchanging medical skills with Zhou Man along the way.
Man Bao gained even more, and felt that it was really inappropriate for the old doctor Tan to be missed in the past few years.
She was already scratching at the bookshelves in the Keke space, thinking about what books or prescriptions to use to exchange some medical skills or experience with the old doctor Tan.
Man Bao returned to Zhou's house while thinking.
Mrs. Liu was slightly startled, she brought Mrs. Zheng over herself, and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?"
Man Bao said: "Grandmother, I'm back to look for medical books, and I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile, "Is it okay that Shanbao and you are in the palace?"
"fine."
"Is Erlang still well-behaved? Did he cause trouble?"
Man Bao: "Don't worry, with Princess Mingda around, he can't cause trouble."
She gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "Your Majesty loves Princess Mingda, so their residence is next to the Hall of Longevity, very close."
According to Bai Shan, Bai Erlang has to give the empress a morning and evening appointment every day, and occasionally he is dragged by the emperor to test his homework, and he is taken to the palace to listen to the elders' discussions, which is very hard.
Mrs. Liu felt relieved when she heard that, seeing that she was about to enter the palace after putting down her things, she hurriedly stopped her and said: "It's hot now, why don't you go in when it's cooler, and you haven't had lunch yet, have you?"
Man Bao thought for a while and then nodded, "Then I'll eat lunch first, but it's still not cool until the sun goes down, and it may not be cool when the sun goes down."
"Then I'll ask someone to prepare a carriage for you. Going in the carriage will at least cover the sun."
Man Bao answered, and went to have lunch with Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng.
She handed the list written last night to Madam Liu, "Princess Changyu and the others entrusted me to bring it all. Grandma, please help me buy all the things. I will take them and leave tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Liu couldn't help being happy after taking a look, there are a lot of food that Man Bao and Bai Shan like to eat, so why are they all brought by Princess Changyu
She narrowed her eyes with a smile, nodded and said: "Okay, I will send someone to the store to make an appointment in a while, and ask them to make it in the morning, so it will be fresher, and then I will send someone to pick it up, and you can go directly to the palace." Just do it."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Mrs. Zheng also looked at the list and said, "Your sister-in-law is not at home."
"When I came back, I had sent people to Pu Village to look for my sister-in-law. Tomorrow they will send it directly to the Xinggong."
Mrs. Liu warned: "It's hot in summer, don't be gluttonous."
Man Bao agreed, assuring that they would not be gluttonous.
After all, there are so many people in the palace, not to mention Yin or a few family members who went with the ministers, many of them are Bai Shan and his classmates from Guozijian and Chongwenguan. Isn't it embarrassing to meet each other
After lunch, Man Bao went to the palace after a short rest.
The atmosphere in the palace was a bit dull. When the guards guarding the gate saw her get off the carriage, their eyes widened and they had all sorts of guesses in their minds.
Everyone looked at her with piercing eyes, Man Bao looked at them suspiciously, and walked tentatively into the palace, seeing that they had been staring at her, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty, so she couldn't help but explain. One sentence, "I came back to Beijing by order, not by sneaking back."
Guards: ... Is this what they want to ask
What they want to ask is, is the old man really seriously ill? Why did you come back instead of serving him
But no one dared to ask, after all, they were suspected of spying on the Eucharist, and they couldn't bear it.
Man Bao stepped across the palace gate with a little trepidation, and looked back suspiciously. Seeing that they were still staring at her, he asked Keke with concern: "Keke, why are they so weird? Could it be my clothes? Not dressed well?"
Man Bao also looked down at himself, subconsciously touched his belt and chest, but there was nothing wrong with it.
And when she went out, Grandma Liu and her mother-in-law sent her to the gate of the courtyard. If there was any problem, they would definitely tell her.
Man Bao felt a little more at ease, but he was still a little vain.
Keke scanned back and forth several times, but couldn't find the reason. He felt that intelligent creatures like humans are still too complicated.
Man Bao went to the imperial hospital with a puzzled expression on her face. She decided to go to the imperial hospital to find books first, and then go to the Chongwen Museum, so that she could leave the palace and go home with Mr. Zhuang in the afternoon.
The atmosphere in the palace was more solemn than before, and a little more cautious. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw her, as if they wanted to go forward, but they didn't dare to go forward.
Man Bao lowered his eyes and thought, while going up the steps, he thought, could it be that something big happened in the palace during the few days when they went to the palace
But she didn't hear about it either.
Yongzhou is not far from the capital, and the news is not slow to pass. If something happens, the emperor will not know about it. She goes to see the emperor every day.
Just as he was thinking, a voice called from behind, "Master Zhou, Master Zhou..."
Man Bao looked back, and in the distance, Eunuch Wu was running towards here with two little servants.
She raised her eyebrows, stood on the steps with her hands folded in thought, watched Eunuch Wu slowly approaching, and then took a few breaths before running up the steps.
Man Bao yelled in his heart, and asked Ke Ke, "There is a rule in the palace that you must not rush. This is what Eunuch Wu told me. Could it be that something happened to the prince? He can't be the one who rebelled, right?"
