Xiao Yuan had been sitting in the study all night, and went to the palace the next day, but he didn't feel much tired. It was almost noon, and Xiao Yuan was calling for Imperial Physician Lu, Imperial Physician Zheng and others to feel his pulse.
All the imperial physicians: ...
They silently lined up to take Xiao Yuanzheng's pulse, and reported the pulse case to him. Didn't they just lack sleep and stay up late
What a big deal.
Xiao Yuanzheng also felt his pulse, and after feeling his own body, he said to Zhou Man, "Go grab the medicine."
All the imperial physicians looked at Zhou Man suspiciously, then looked back at Xiao Yuanzheng, and were shocked, "Yuanzheng, you don't know how to test the medicine yourself, do you?"
Just as Xiao Yuan was about to say no, Zhou Man nodded with a serious face and said: "That's right, Xiao Yuanzheng's heart towards His Majesty is as bright as the sun and the moon, and his love is extremely deep."
Xiao Yuan was furious, so he reached out and gave her head a smack, "You are the only one who can talk nonsense, why don't you hurry up and grab the medicine!"
Zhou Man covered his head and went away, turned around and met the urging servant from Tai Chi Hall, nodded and went to the pharmacy.
Xiao Yuanzheng also saw the person, and quickly got up to salute, "Why is Mr. Jia here?"
"Xiao Yuanzheng, Your Majesty has a question, why hasn't the prescription prescribed yesterday been delivered today? But what's wrong with the Grand Hospital?"
"No, no, Imperial Physician Zhou has gone to get the medicine, and we will go to the Tai Chi Hall in a while."
The waiter Jia Nei smiled, bowed and retreated, and reported what Xiao Yuanzheng said when he returned, and then described in detail what he saw and heard after he arrived at the Imperial Hospital.
The emperor was slightly stunned, and asked, "Xiao Yuan is testing the medicine with himself?"
"Yes, what Mr. Zhou said is that the medicine was tested yesterday. Just now, the Xiao Yuan asked all the imperial physicians to take turns to take the pulse. When the pulse is okay, Master Zhou was asked to take the medicine."
The emperor was puzzled, but he still waved his hand to make Jiane waiter retreat, and asked when Gu Zhong was the only one in the room, "He's not poisoned, can he drink detoxification decoction?"
Gu Zhong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this servant is dull. Maybe people who are not poisoned can take this medicine? Xiao Yuanzheng and Mr. Zhou are both highly skilled in medicine, and they must know it well."
The emperor thought about it, and was a little moved in his heart, "Thank you for your hard work, Courtyard Xiao."
Zhou Man grabbed the medicine, took the medicine bag and three medicine boxes, and went to the Tai Chi Hall with Xiao Yuanzheng, and the two of them took the emperor's pulse, and after confirming that the pulse condition did not change much, Zhou Man went to brew the medicine.
Zhou Man said earlier that she put the two medicines in different order, so she added the medicine in the middle of it openly, and when the medicine was poured out, there was no one else in the waiter, so she was not afraid, so she just took out the jade The bottle was filled with medicine.
This is a new one, and she emptied it into the jade bottle.
Speaking of it, Mr. Wei's illness is easy to cure, because it is a state of exhaustion, and only needs to add medicine, unlike the emperor, who is also poisoned, and the medicine that needs to be mixed is very troublesome.
Zhou Man personally brought the medicine to the emperor, "Your Majesty, take the medicine in a while, and I will give you an injection."
The emperor shook his body, "A detoxification needle?"
"No, it stimulates the effect of the medicine and makes it work faster."
Only then did the emperor heave a sigh of relief. The detoxification needles were really painful and very tolerable, but now he only had nine needles. It is said that the whole set is twenty-eight needles, and only Tang He had done it.
When the medicine was warmed down, the emperor drank it in one gulp. Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan were cooperating to give the emperor the injection.
The emperor felt pretty good, "This medicine..."
"Drink once a day."
Zhou Man took away the dregs and disposed of them, and Gu Zhong told the emperor about it.
The emperor nodded, "Keep an eye on it, the medicine residue must be cleaned up."
Up to now, only the empress, Gu Zhong and Zhou Man and Xiao Yuanzheng knew about the emperor's physical condition, and the others were just guessing, but there was no evidence.
The dregs must not be passed on to the outside world.
Gu Zhong complied and asked people to watch Zhou Man deal with the dregs of the medicine.
Zhou Man brought the medicine dregs back to Tai Hospital, wrung out the water and put them in the pot for frying, then threw them into the fire and burned them all.
The waiter staring at her: ...
This treatment method is really clean. They usually divide the medicine residues into several parts, then mix them with other medicine residues and bury them deeply. He has never seen such a direct destruction of corpses and traces.
Zhou Man confirmed that all the medicine dregs had turned into ashes, then he clapped his hands and stood up, "It's done."
The emperor was also silent for a moment when he heard how Zhou Man handled the dregs, then nodded and said, "Not bad."
Zhou Man took the prescription and took a lot of precious medicinal materials from the Tai Hospital and left. Xiao Yuan was with her, and kept telling her on the way, "Be careful, the medicine must not pass the hands of another person, and the medicine residue must be disposed of too." Lose."
Zhou Man replied, "You can rest assured."
When Zhou Man returned home, she began to process the precious medicinal materials she had brought back. She didn't go out until the sun was about to set. Before going out, she put all the medicinal materials into the space.
It's fine if it's not like this, there will never be a second person who can come across these medicines, hehehe.
Zhou Man opened the door and saw that the yard was quiet, so he walked towards Mrs. Liu's yard, but there was not a single servant along the way, and the old lady's yard was also very quiet.
Seeing Zhou Man, the woman guarding the yard immediately stood up and saluted, "Is the lady looking for the old lady? The old lady has gone to the west courtyard."
Zhou's residence is bounded by the main courtyard where Zhou Man lives in the middle line, and is divided into two rows of courtyards in the east and west. Mr. Zhuang and the Bai family live in the east courtyard, and the Zhou family lives in the west courtyard.
Zhou Man looked at the sky, "Is it still here?"
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't come back after the afternoon."
Zhou Man waved his hand, "Then I'll go and have a look."
Just arrived at the corridor, before entering the yard, Zhou Man heard a lot of laughter, pushed the door and went in, and saw a lot of people sitting or standing in the yard, a group of children in the middle were playing, the prettiest among them It is her daughter.
Xiaoqian was the first to see her, stepped forward and pulled her to look at her, and said: "I haven't arrived for a month, why are you so thin?"
"Manbao is here, let's have dinner, the children are hungry too."
Without the help of the servants, the people of the Zhou family moved the tables and chairs out, and then the kitchen began to serve food.
Zhou Man wanted to sit with little friend Bai Jingxing, but she didn't, she followed closely beside another little girl, and wanted to sit with her, and when her mother came over, she warmly introduced to her mother, "Mother, This is my eldest niece, Zhou Meiyun."
"...I know, I gave this name to her. Her father is my eldest nephew, and her mother is my apprentice."
Little friend Bai Jingxing held her hand and said, "I want to be friends with her and have dinner with her."
Zhou Man took a look at the two little girls. Although they were a few years apart, they looked quite harmonious, so he nodded, "All right."
The little girl Bai Jingxing cheered up, and took her eldest niece to sit on the table below.
This meal was regarded as a reunion dinner between Zhou Bai and his family.
