Man Bao then retracted his hand, looked at the Queen and said, "My Lady, can I give you a careful inspection?"
The Queen was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Of course you can."
She turned to look at Aunt Shang, and saw the emperor standing below. Just as she was about to stand up and salute, the emperor pressed his hand on her.
The queen smiled and leaned in again.
Aunt Shang put down the tent and did not go out. Instead, she stood aside and looked at Man Bao.
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng cleverly took two steps back and stood aside with his head lowered.
Man Bao reached out to touch the Queen's neck. Aunt Shang was startled and couldn't help but lean forward. The Queen glanced at her lightly, then she stood up straight again, just straightening her back and staring at Man Bao.
Manbao touched her neck inch by inch and asked, "Does it hurt here?"
Sometimes the queen said it didn't hurt, and sometimes she said it hurt. Manbao found the uncomfortable spot, gently put his fingers on it, and asked: "When you are sick, what does it feel like here?"
The queen recalled it carefully and answered carefully.
Man Bao said: "Open your mouth and let me take a look at your throat. It sounds like this - is there a candle?"
The area that the lamp illuminated was limited, but she used all the sights, smells and inquiries she could use. Man Bao stared at the Queen thoughtfully.
The imperial doctors waiting outside the tent couldn't help but raise their heads slightly to look at the tent, listening with their ears perked up.
The queen hesitated for a while but couldn't hold it back, "Mother, can I touch your belly and chest?"
All the imperial doctors:...
The queen was also stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Okay."
Manbao pressed her belly gently and asked, "Does it hurt here?"
The queen exhaled in pain and said, "It will hurt if you cough too much."
Man Bao nodded slightly, then touched her chest after checking her stomach, and asked her how she felt when she coughed and had difficulty breathing.
After Man Bao asked carefully, after the queen had finished tidying up her clothes, he saw her face flushed and coughing, so he hurriedly stroked her back. After thinking for a while, he asked Aunt Shang to open the curtain. She turned back and stretched out her hand to shopkeeper Xiao Zheng, "Take it."
Here comes the needle bag."
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng winked at her and made slow movements with his hands. This is not how you treat a noble person. You have to identify the disease first and then go down to the bottom. Even if you want to give her an acupuncture, you have to get the consent of the Taiyuan Hospital first.
The prince had already anxiously stepped forward to support his mother who was coughing. A group of little ones behind him followed suit. The emperor couldn't help but move forward with concern. When he turned around and saw shopkeeper Xiao Zheng acting so slowly, he couldn't help but
He frowned and shouted: "Give it to her!"
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng raised his head and glanced at him. Because the emperor was wearing ordinary clothes and he had never seen the emperor before, shopkeeper Xiao Zheng didn't recognize him.
Since he didn't know him, even though he must be higher up than him in the palace, he couldn't possibly listen to him.
Man Bao naturally saw his look and stood up directly to find the needle bag. She explained in a low voice: "I just pricked two acupuncture points to make her breathe easier."
Man Bao took out the needle bag, took out the needle, slightly opened the queen's skirt and inserted it into the needle.
Aunt Shang opened her mouth and quickly lowered the tent again, covering only the prince and the emperor inside, while the others were isolated from the outside.
The second prince and others took a step back when Man Bao pulled open the queen's clothes. However, the third prince was not afraid and even opened the curtain and stepped in.
The father and son looked at the queen with concern.
Man Bao gave the Queen two injections, and her breathing gradually became easier and her coughing stopped.
Man Bao said: "I want some warm water to moisten her mouth."
Aunt Shang quickly fetched a cup of tea. Man Bao frowned and said, "She can't drink tea anymore because she has a bad cough. She wants boiled water."
Aunt Shang glanced at her and quickly went out to get warm water. When Man Bao nodded, she fed the queen.
After moistening her throat and breathing smoothly again, the queen no longer coughed. She smiled at Man Bao and said, "He is indeed a miracle doctor. I will be cured immediately."
Man Bao shook his head, "It's just a temporary delay. The imperial doctors can definitely do it."
It's just that they may not be able to do it well.
The prince quickly asked: "Can it be cured?"
Man Bao paused and shook his head, "At least now I won't cure it."
The prince was furious, "What do you mean it won't be cured now?"
"I haven't learned this yet."
Prince: "Then go and learn now!"
"Who should I learn from?" Man Bao said, "I don't know if there is such medical skill."
The prince was immediately choked to death by her.
Man Bao quickly comforted him and said: "Don't worry, wait until I go back to check the medical books. By the way, the doctors can't do anything about it?"
Man Bao decided to go out to communicate with the imperial doctors. She turned around and was about to go out, when she immediately met the emperor's eyes.
Man Bao's memory has always been good. Although he cannot have a photographic memory, people he has met, especially those he has met several times and spent one night with, are still very impressive.
She said "Huh" and when she saw the familiar person turning his head slightly to avoid her sight, she looked at him from bottom to top.
The emperor coughed lightly and looked up at the ceiling of the tent.
Man Bao tilted his head and looked at him, finally realizing something was wrong, "Why are you in the tent too?"
Aunt Shang wanted to scold her, but when she saw the emperor's expression, she guessed something and immediately stood aside without saying anything.
Man Bao was not stupid. He glanced at the prince, the fat man next to him, and then at Li Erlang, who looked slightly similar to them, and couldn't help but blink.
Man Bao stood up from the bed and bowed hesitantly, "Your Majesty?"
The emperor coughed slightly, raised his hand slightly and said: "Excuse me, what kind of disease do you think the queen has? If it cannot be cured, then a temporary cure can always be done, right?"
Man Bao glanced at him, then looked at him again, nodded and said: "I can still control it. The queen has a qi disease, but it has been for too long and it is not easy to cure."
When the doctors waiting outside heard this, they couldn't help bumping their palms with their fists. Yes, it was just difficult to cure.
Two years ago, the queen had already been seriously ill once, and she was saved by luck that time. Who knew that she would fall ill again this spring, and she could not be cured intermittently. During this period, it became increasingly serious.
Manbao couldn't help but glance at the emperor again, and then left the tent to go to the imperial doctors to discuss his condition.
As soon as the outsiders left, the prince looked at his father rudely and asked, "Do you know Zhou Man, father?"
The emperor glanced at him and did not answer him. Instead, he sat by the bed, held the queen's hand and asked softly, "How do you feel about Zi Tong?"
The queen smiled at him and said softly: "It's much better, at least I don't cough anymore."
The emperor sighed, "If I had known she would be useful, I would have announced her arrival to the palace earlier. I don't know how the imperial hospital treats patients, but she is not as good as a little lady."
"Don't blame them," the Queen said softly, "It's somewhat inconvenient, and I'm afraid they won't be able to use many of the methods."
The emperor glanced at the two needles stuck in her lapel and said nothing.
