The emperor and the empress kept Man Bao talking for nearly an hour, and they found out all about Bai Cheng's family background. They even knew that when he was a child, he was carried into the school with his eyes closed by his servants to study.
The emperor listened with great interest, and then said to the queen: "It is far behind our Mingda family."
That's what he said, but after Zhou Man left, he still kept Bai Cheng on the list. There were only two people selected by him along with him. Coincidentally, except for Bai Cheng, these two people were both from the capital.
.
Firstly, the emperor saw that they were interested in becoming consorts, and secondly, since their family was in the capital, Mingda could stay in the capital in the future and the palace would be able to take care of them.
When the queen saw the list he made, she said directly: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Ming Da."
She said: "That child just met someone today. Ask her what she means."
Naturally, the emperor wanted to ask for Mingda's opinion. Not only did he ask, but he also decided to let Mingda get along with people first, and then issue an edict to marry him if there was no problem. This was what Changyu did at that time.
Mingda blushed slightly and lowered his head. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at the emperor with moist and bright eyes and said, "Father, I think Bai Cheng is good."
The emperor was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so sure, so he couldn't help but ask: "Why Bai Cheng?"
Naturally, Mingda would not tell the emperor that she had liked him before. He only said: "Zhou Man has a good character. I think her junior brother will not be any worse. Moreover, I saw them today, and Bai Cheng is the most pleasing to the eye."
."
This was what his daughter would say, so the emperor smiled and said, "Okay, since you like him, you can go to the Chongwen Hall to see him from time to time. If you are not satisfied, we will change him."
Obviously, he did not intend to settle down on the marriage immediately.
Mingda didn't feel sorry and nodded in agreement.
The emperor looked at the little daughter in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, "Mingda has grown up too."
Mingda lowered his head and pursed his lips with a smile. During their rare free time, the father and daughter were sitting together drinking tea silently. Gu Zhong suddenly walked in quickly. When he saw the father and daughter sitting on the couch, he couldn't help but pause.
.
The emperor put down his teacup and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Zhong hesitated.
The emperor frowned, stood up and asked, "Is there an urgent report?"
"No," Gu Zhong paused and then lowered his head and said, "It's the people from His Highness Prince Gong who came to report that His Highness's leg seems to be... bad."
The emperor glared and stepped forward quickly, "What did you say?"
Gu Zhong knelt down on the ground and said: "Yuanzheng Xiao, Doctor Liu, Doctor Zheng and Doctor Zhou Xiao from the Imperial Hospital are all with His Highness."
Mingda also stood up in shock. Because he was in such a hurry, his eyes took a moment and he stretched out his hands to support the table before he could stand still.
The emperor came back to his senses when he heard the noise, and immediately turned back to support Mingda. After comforting her, he said to the maids: "Help the princess down."
"Father..."
"Father, go and have a look. Don't be anxious. Don't tell your mother yet, lest she become anxious."
After saying that, people sent Mingda back, and then quickly walked with Gu Zhong to Prince Gong's palace. The emperor's face was very serious along the way, "What do you mean it's not good? He hasn't been taking good care of his injuries, and he can already walk on the ground.
Is it done?"
Gu Zhong's forehead was sweating. He hurriedly followed up and reported: "It is said that the bones have grown crooked, and he can go to the ground, but he walks with a slight limp..."
It's just that ordinary people can't accept that a good person is lame, let alone an emperor.
At this time, Man Bao and Xiao Yuanzheng were examining Prince Gong who was being held down. Both of them looked ugly. They ignored Prince Gong who was being pinned down on the bed and howling like a ghost. After looking at each other, their hearts were constantly heavy and their bones were heavy.
It was crooked, and it was almost done. The two calculated the time it took for the bones to grow, and they found that it had been crooked for at least forty days.
It has been more than two months since Prince Gong's leg was broken, and it was obvious that he had twisted it later.
During that time, Xiao Yuan and Dr. Liu were in charge.
Xiao Yuan was a little unsteady on his feet, Man Bao quickly supported him and helped him sit down on the footrest.
Recently, he had been guarding the Queen Mother. He had not been able to sleep well. Now his head was throbbing and aching. He turned his head and glanced at Prince Gong who was losing his temper. He gritted his teeth. He didn't want to sit here, so he might as well
Holding Zhou Man's hand, he stood up and stumbled out.
Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zheng also immediately retreated, and the chamberlains and maids in the palace immediately stepped forward to serve Prince Gong who lost his temper.
When they arrived at the outer hall, Doctor Zheng couldn't help but asked eagerly: "Did you pick up the wrong one at the beginning?"
Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "No!"
"No?" Doctor Zheng couldn't help shouting: "Then why did it become crooked if it was connected correctly from the beginning?"
This is the royal family, not the poor people outside. If a leg is broken and they have no livelihood, they still have to work after the leg is reattached, and the reattached leg may become crooked again.
You must know that they have always taken good care of Prince Gong. How could the connected leg be crooked?
Doctor Liu also felt that it could not be a mistake. "When Prince Gong sent it back, Xiao Yuanzheng and I checked it. The leg was indeed connected at that time. We touched it carefully. As Zhou Man said, there seemed to be some stickiness.
The connection was not completely broken, she connected it very well and there was no mistake."
Doctor Liu paused at this point and frowned, "But we have been taking good care of Prince Gong since he returned to the palace. He didn't exert any force on his leg, so how could it be crooked?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said dejectedly: "I realized something was wrong a long time ago. It was because I was negligent and trusted His Highness Prince Gong too much."
Manbao has seen the current scan data of Prince Gong from Keke. The leg is indeed crooked. After looking at the crooked condition and the wear and tear of the bones, it is obviously caused by improper force behind, which means that Prince Gong secretly used his leg.
Already.
Based on her understanding of him, if he accidentally used his leg, he would be in so much pain that he would seek help from the imperial doctor. And once he went to the imperial doctor, it was impossible for Xiao Yuanzheng not to know about it and not to deal with it.
Obviously, he did it on purpose!
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "I felt something was wrong when I was applying medicine to him in the first ten days of the month. There were always some bulges when I touched it. I asked him if he had exerted any force and if it hurt, and he said no."
He said: "It has been sixty-two days since his bones were regenerated. He can go to the ground for a walk. But when I was there, no matter how much I tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to go to the ground. Alas, I should have known better. At that time, I was touching
If something is wrong, you should forcefully check it with him."
Doctor Zheng looked confused, "But, why is he doing this?"
Xiao Yuanzheng and the other three stopped talking. Only the devil knows what he was doing.
Man Bao said: "We don't care about his reasons for now, what matters now is how to put his legs back together, otherwise he will be lame."
Xiao Yuanzheng suddenly remembered something, gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Gong once asked me if a bone can be straightened if it grows crooked."
Doctor Liu and others looked at Xiao Yuanzheng in shock, and Man Bao asked cautiously, "So what you said is..."
"I said, in theory, you can just interrupt and reconnect."
