After Zhou Man received the first edict, she began to prepare to return to Beijing. She first packed the things that everyone needed to bring back, and then packed her own luggage. She also planned to go to the street to bring some souvenirs to her family.
In the end, she hadn't packed it up yet, and the second edict arrived in Beihai County.
Seeing the edict, Zhou Man quickly closed the imperial edict and ran to look for Bai Shan, "It seems that something happened in Beijing, His Majesty urgently ordered me to return to Beijing, and I will leave tomorrow. I will take my car lightly, and the luggage I packed at home..."
Bai Shan: "You go first, I'll send someone back later."
Zhou Man originally wanted to say no more, "Isn't it troublesome?"
Bai Shandao: "It's all cleaned up, no regrets."
He said: "It's good to let the guards escort some things back to Beijing, and they can bring more things when you come back."
Zhou Zhoulang ran over and said, "No, no, I'll just take those things back."
He said: "We are going back to Beijing too. When the time comes, I will bring these things with me. Don't be afraid when I come back. I will bring you whatever the family brought you."
"Now is the time when you need manpower, and it will cost a lot this time, so leave it all to me."
When Zhou Man heard it, he nodded immediately, "Okay, I will leave it to you."
Bai Shan took her hand and went back to the backyard, "You take Daji and Xibing with you, even if you have to go back to Beijing quickly, don't wrong yourself too much on the way."
Zhou Man nodded again and again, indicating that he had written it down.
Early the next morning, Zhou Man took Daji Xibing and two teams of imperial guards who came to announce the decree and hurried back to Beijing.
They rushed back to the capital from Qingzhou in only six days.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhou Man looked around and found that no one was waiting for him at the gate of the city, so he was relieved and said to the imperial guards: "I'll go back to the mansion to freshen up, and then I'll go to the palace to meet the saint later."
It's not an important matter for military affairs. It's true that officials don't need to enter the palace immediately when they return to Beijing, so the imperial guards nodded and dispersed at the gate of the city.
Zhou Man ran back home, and before he had time to greet his family, he was called to the study by Mr. Zhuang to talk.
"Two things, Mr. Wei is seriously ill, His Majesty is sad, he got sick from heatstroke some time ago, and now he is not in good health; the second is the matter of new rice seeds, His Majesty has ordered Lizhong to come to Beijing, and his two The day should have arrived, and now the rice in Pu Village has been harvested, and the data can be reported to the court when it comes out."
Mr. Zhuang reached out from the side of the desk and took out a few sheets of paper full of words to her, and said: "The characteristics and yields of rice seeds in various places are recorded on it. If you want to memorize it, His Majesty will definitely ask you where the seeds are Where did it come from?"
Zhou Man took it, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, I know all about these rice seeds. Two years ago, Bai Shan entrusted some caravans and stewards of the Bai family to collect rice seeds from various places. I have seen all of them." of."
The rice seeds for Dr. D were selected from these kinds of rice seeds. In fact, she did not lie, she was indeed the one who found the first generation of rice seeds.
Mr. Zhuang nodded when he saw that she knew what was in his mind, and said: "Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace, you can go wash up and enter the palace."
Respond to Zhou Man.
Zhou Man found out her crimson official uniform and put it on, and entered the palace in a refreshing outfit. As soon as she entered the palace gate, the prince hurried out of the Tai Chi Hall with someone, and when he saw her, he waved and said, "Did you meet me?" The servant who announced the decree?"
Zhou Man: "... I just washed up, and I drove into the imperial city to get clean."
That's probably missed.
The prince said: "Let's go out of the palace with Gu. Your Majesty has an order to let you go directly to the Wei residence to treat Mr. Wei. At this time, Xiao Yuanzheng is also there."
Zhou Man then turned around and left the palace with the prince, "Your Highness, is Master Wei seriously ill?"
The crown prince said: "No light, this is already the second time that Gu has been ordered to go to the Wei residence to visit Mr. Wei."
Zhou Man walked out of the palace with a heavy heart, and the crown prince got into the car first, seeing that she was still looking around in a daze, he said, "Come up and ride with me."
Zhou Man stepped on the stool and got into the carriage. When the carriage and horses got up, the prince raised his eyelids and looked at Zhou Man up and down, "It seems that he has improved a lot compared to before. I wonder if his medical skills have improved?"
Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "I should have grown up, I've been studying medicine."
The prince was very curious, "Study? From whom?"
Zhou Man paused and said: "Books and patients, every time I see a patient, I can accumulate a little experience. When I have enough experience, I will study further and my medical skills will improve."
Prince: "Then this time, you should study Mr. Wei carefully and see if you can save him."
Zhou Man sighed worriedly, "I'll do my best."
Although she is not in the capital city, she has been in correspondence with Imperial Physician Liu of Xiao Yuanzheng. Except for the physical condition of the emperor and prince who cannot be leaked at will, other patients who were mainly treated by Zhou Man in the past, such as Wei Zhi and the queen, both of them will write letters Communicating with her is to better prescribe and choose treatment methods.
As early as half a year ago, Xiao Yuanzheng wrote to her, saying that Mr. Wei is at the end of his strength, and he has been holding on because he is concerned about the Jiangnan Salt Field.
Now that half a year has passed, I'm afraid my physical condition will get worse.
The carriage stopped at the Wei Mansion, and the people in the Wei Mansion who got the news in advance greeted the prince at the door together.
Mrs. Wei was about to bring people to salute, but she saw Zhou Man who got off the car first, her eyes widened slightly, and she said in surprise: "Master Zhou, have you returned to Beijing?"
Zhou Man smiled at Mrs. Wei, glanced at Princess Changyu behind her, and then turned sideways to let the prince get out of the car.
Everyone is busy saluting.
The crown prince raised his hand and said: "There is no need to be polite, Your Majesty is concerned about Lord Wei's condition, and ordered him to visit him alone."
Seeing Mrs. Wei's anxious face, the prince knew what she was anxious about, so he turned his head and said to Zhou Man, "Go in and see Mrs. Wei."
Zhou Man nodded, and they entered the Wei Mansion first, and went directly to the main courtyard.
The main courtyard smelled of medicine, and Xiao Yuan was sitting in the room with Imperial Physician Liu in a daze, oh no, maybe it was thinking.
Hearing the movement, he raised his head and saw Zhou Man. He was first surprised, then happy, "Master Zhou is back?"
The two of them stepped forward one from the left and the other from the right, grabbed her and walked towards the hospital bed. Xiao Yuanzheng lowered his voice and said, "Master Wei has been in a coma since noon yesterday, and he hasn't woken up until now. I think it's a bad omen." not enough."
Imperial Physician Liu said: "Yuan Xiao and I are looking at it, and it looks like the oil is exhausted. See if there is any other good way."
Zhou Man went to feel Master Wei's pulse, looked at his face and the prescriptions he had taken recently, sighed, then looked back at the Wei family, and asked, "What is your request?"
Madam Wei felt sad when she heard this, and asked with restraint: "What does this mean, we naturally hope that the master's health will improve."
Zhou Man shook his head and said: "Master Wei is already exhausted, and we have no way to recover. It is beyond my expectation that he can persist until now."
