Of course, what Man Bao said and did inside could not be hidden from the Queen, so Man Bao just finished a new round of treatment and said goodbye and left the palace, so the Queen knew about it.
Man Bao was carrying an empty basket, which contained some snacks given to her by the queen. Even though it was already known to everyone that she was in and out of the palace, she still had to give an excuse.
For example, if she goes out shopping with a basket, and the next time she enters the palace, she will carry a basket with her. Regardless of whether it is empty or full, since she has something in her hand, it will be regarded as shopping.
That's right, the guards guarding the door were "neglecting their duties" in this way.
Man Bao carried a basket and walked out behind a little palace maid. Before she could get out of Tai Chi, she stopped.
Seeing the person squatting in the flower bed, Man Bao showed a smile on his face, greeted the little palace maid and went up to him, "Little An Gonggong——"
A chamberlain who was about the same age as Bai Erlang raised his head and smiled at Man Bao, moved a little awkwardly, and after holding it in for a long time, he said, "Little Eunuch Zhou?"
Man Baole nodded wildly and squatted down to look at the flowers and plants in the flower bed with him, "The weather is cold, and these flowers and plants are a little bad."
Mr. An:......
Man Bao coughed lightly and said, "Shall I help you weed?"
Mr. An: "...No need, I've already done all the cleaning."
He took out a few intact flowers and plants, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Look, these are the grasses that have been removed."
Man Bao looked at them, then looked up at little Eunuch An, and couldn't help but sigh, "Little Eunuch An, you don't know how to cheat. You can maim them a little bit. Just pull out such a good one and give it to me."
, the person in charge will punish you if he finds out."
She looked around, moved her position, blocked the little palace maid's view, and stuffed a purse into little Eunuch An, "Don't be so careless next time. Plants are easy to survive. Most plants can be cut, so you can
There is no need to dig up the whole plant, you can give me some branches and leaves, you have to prune the flowers and leaves anyway, right?"
Little An Gonggong: ...No, who would prune branches and leaves in the winter?
But he still nodded.
Man Bao put the flowers and plants in the basket, then quietly pointed at a few plants that Keke scanned and whispered, "I want them next time."
Mr. An took a look and saw, aren't they Rabbit Flower and Drunken Butterfly?
He really didn't understand why Dr. Zhou wanted these flowers and plants. Could they be used as medicine?
It looked very ordinary, not as beautiful as peonies. But Mr. An still nodded and agreed.
Man Bao then left with the basket satisfied.
The little palace maid didn't care. Every time Dr. Zhou came to the palace to see a doctor, he would walk in Tai Chi's garden. Sometimes he could stare at a piece of grass for a long time. She was already used to it.
This is how she got to know Mr. An.
After Man Bao left, Mr. An took the purse that Man Bao gave him to his side. Aunt Shang happened to come over, so he bent down and offered the purse with both hands.
Aunt Shang opened it and looked at it. Inside was a small silver ingot worth five taels.
Aunt Shang couldn't help but smile, put the silver ingot back to him, and asked, "What did Dr. Zhou say?"
"Little Doctor Zhou asked me to be careful and not to dig up the whole plant next time. He said that plants are very viable and most of them can be cut, so just let me break some branches and leaves." Little An's father-in-law lowered his head and said: "She will do it next time.
I want rabbit ears and drunken butterflies."
Aunt Shang nodded and said: "I know, then next time you can break some branches and leaves and give them to her, just bring some roots. There is no need to dig up the whole plant."
Little Mr. An breathed a sigh of relief and bowed out with his purse in hand.
Aunt Shang then went to report to the Queen.
The queen was drinking water and smiled when she heard this: "When Mingda came last time, he was still talking about it, saying that Zhou Man had been thinking about the flowers and plants in the palace early in the morning."
Aunt Shang smiled and said, "I heard that Dr. Zhou has been good at this since she was a child. She would dig up and study the unknown flowers and plants she saw on the road. Maybe that's why she learned so well in medical skills."
The Queen nodded and asked, "Whose family did she say was going to have a caesarean section to take the baby?"
Aunt Shang lowered her head and said, "It seems that she is the third wife of the Li family in Yongzhou. Her family has invited Dr. Liu to see her. Her condition seems to be a little bad."
The queen sighed and said: "It is much more difficult for women to give birth."
While they were talking, a chamberlain came in quickly. When the queen saw him, she asked, "What's so urgent?"
The chamberlain hesitated for a moment and then knelt down on the ground and whispered: "Madam, there are some rumors outside today that Dr. Zhou cured a man's infertility and made his wife pregnant."
The queen stood up in shock and asked eagerly: "Is the news accurate?"
"That's what is said outside."
The queen then said: "Go and find out more about the patient. Is he still unable to conceive a child?"
The queen was a little annoyed, "I should have left her to talk for a while."
Aunt Shang: ...They would like to stay, but Dr. Zhou only thinks about the flowers and plants in the garden.
The news had quietly spread throughout the capital. Shi Dalang sent away another wave of relatives and friends, and squatted in the yard very tiredly and stopped talking.
Aunt Shi didn't think anything was wrong. She comforted her without much care, "Anyway, your illness has been cured. Just know it. What's the big deal?"
Shi Dalang felt his face was burning and turned away from his mother. His father snarled and said, "You deserve it. Who asked you to use your cousin's name? Yesterday, your aunt gave you brown sugar and eggs.
.”
Shi Dalang muttered: "Aren't I just smart?"
But it's useless to talk about it now. It must have spread to all the neighbors now, and he can't just break off all relations with his aunt's family because of this, right?
Even if he wants to, his parents must agree.
Of course Aunt Shi and his wife did not agree, so the two families continued to kiss each other in front of relatives.
There was a lot of trouble in Jishitang again. Of course, this time the trouble was not because there were more patients, but because more servants came to inquire about the news.
With this kind of unspeakable secret, people who have no money haven't thought of coming to see a doctor for the time being. Naturally, people with money can't come by themselves, so they sent people to inquire.
Regardless of whether you have given birth to a child or not, anyone who feels that they have kidney deficiency wants to seek medical advice. However, when they think that the doctor who is treating the doctor is a teenage girl, this idea pauses again. In this entangled situation,
In their excitement, everyone decided to let their servants go and inquire.
The Crown Princess in the East Palace also sent someone to inquire. She whispered to the palace staff: "Please carefully inquire about Shi Dalang's history. It's best to get a copy back."
Duke Pi's office also considered this. Duke Pi even personally ordered the housekeeper to handle the matter, "Go quietly and come back immediately after getting the pulse."
