He nodded to Xiao Yuanzheng, and then said to Zhou Man and Doctor Liu who were about to exit: "Mingda was frightened yesterday and fell ill today. You two go and take a look at the princess."
Doctor Liu agreed, while Man Bao was stunned for a moment and then followed.
Princess Mingda suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. Originally, she did not want to call the imperial doctor to avoid worrying her mother if she found out. However, the palace officials did not dare to hide it and reported it to the emperor early.
The emperor thought that she might have been frightened yesterday, and because she was sensitive, she might not have slept much last night.
So he sent Zhou Man there specially, thinking that besides seeing a doctor, they could also talk.
When Man Bao saw Ming Da's pale face, he hurriedly examined her. After deciding on a treatment plan with Dr. Liu, he gave her acupuncture treatment.
Everyone in the room retreated, and there were only two of them. Mingda lay on the bed, with his face on the pillow, looking at Manbao twisting the needle, and asked: "How is the third brother?"
"Your Majesty took it upon himself to break two bones, but the cross-sections are different. He still needs treatment, so he may not be able to recover as before."
Mingda sighed, and the two stopped talking.
Mingda couldn't hold it back, "Are you still angry with me?"
Man Bao inserted an injection, looked up at her and said, "I thought you were angry with me."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Then they relaxed a little. Mingda asked her, "So you admit that what you said yesterday was to drive a wedge between me, the eldest brother, and the third brother?"
Man Bao asked calmly: "Is the separation coming?"
Mingda couldn't help but sigh, nodded slightly and said: "The estrangement has come, but I think the third brother didn't think so much when he did this."
"No one knows except Prince Gong," Man Bao said, "I have never been able to understand Prince Gong's thoughts anyway."
After saying that, she saw Mingda frowning and seemed to be sighing again, so she said: "Stop sighing. You are not in good health and you are still thinking too much. Do you still want to get better?"
Mingda lay down on the pillow relaxedly. Because of the acupuncture, she gradually relaxed and fell asleep after a while.
Man Bao sat aside and waited for the time to arrive, tilting his head slightly to look at Ming Da, who was sleeping soundly.
She liked Mingda very much, and she could understand many things without telling her. However, they had some different views on Prince Gong's medical accident.
Man Bao understood her, and she also understood Man Bao, so when Ming Da opened his eyes again, the two of them looked at each other silently once their eyes met.
Man Bao said: "I've pulled out the needle, why don't you turn over?"
Mingda turned it over with his hand in hand, lay down directly in it, patted his side and said, "Do you want to lie down for a while?"
Manbao took off his shoes, went up, and lay down.
She exhaled and said, "I guess I'll stay awake for half the night."
"Then you can sleep here for a while."
Man Bao nodded slightly, but closed his eyes, but no one knew.
When Mingda saw her turning over, he asked, "Are you worried about Xiao Yuanzheng?"
"Yes, even you think Xiao Yuanzheng is at fault. Your Majesty will definitely be more angry with Xiao Yuanzheng, and you don't know how to deal with it in the end."
Mingda thought for a while and said: "After my mother gets better, she will definitely plead with Xiao Yuanzheng. I will also plead with you at that time. It shouldn't be too serious."
She paused and said: "I know that the third brother is more responsible for this matter, but Xiao Yuan was giving him medicine at intervals but did not notice that the bones were growing crooked. This is also true. It is indeed a crime of negligence."
Man Bao sighed quietly: "If a patient wants to find a way to hide his illness, he has many ways. We are doctors who treat diseases and save people, but you regard us as omnipotent gods."
Mingda blinked.
Man Bao said: "As a doctor, questioning is the first priority. If Prince Gong conceals something about the problem, the doctor will have half the chance of misdiagnosis. Maybe you think I am doing this because of my close relationship with Xiao Yuanzheng."
We are on his side, but we are both doctors and we still know what we are capable of. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital didn’t talk much today and were in a very bad mood, but it’s just because things hurt their own kind.”
Mingda immediately stopped talking, and the two were silent for a long time. Mingda then asked, "Do you have any intention of resigning?"
Man Bao turned over and faced her face to face and said, "I think it's boring to be an imperial doctor. There are no patients in the world who are as troublesome as your family."
Mingda couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This isn't the first time I've met you. I didn't have any objections before. Why are you so dissatisfied now?"
Man Bao hummed and said, "Maybe it's because I have money now. Although the job fields provided by the court are good, I can actually buy some fields with my own money even if I grit my teeth."
Mingda: "The fields near the capital are not easy to buy. Can you buy them?"
"I'll go to Yongzhou to buy it."
"It's difficult," Mingda said: "There are very few free fields over there, most of them are job fields and imperial villages. If you want to buy them, you can only buy them with the imperial court or our family. Needless to say, buying and selling job fields is illegal.
Yes, as for our family, I guess my father will not sell the land in Yongzhou."
Man Bao: "...how do you know so well?"
"Didn't my father want to get me engaged during this time?" Mingda said: "I heard him and my mother talking about giving the two royal estates in Yongzhou to me and Sister Changyu as dowries."
In fact, the emperor also wanted to select a county from Yongzhou to build a food town for Mingda, but the queen hesitated and did not agree.
Because Yongzhou was the capital, its geographical location and political and economic position were very important. She felt that if the emperor raised this matter, the courtiers would strongly object.
Manbao didn't know this yet, but it was enough for her to envy, "It's a very big palace."
Mingda nodded, "No, sometimes in spring and autumn we will go to Huangzhuang to play."
Man Bao looked at her seriously with his round eyes. Ming Da couldn't help but smile and said: "This is my dowry. It is regarded as the ancestral property left by my parents. I want to leave it to future generations."
Mingda thought of something and said thoughtfully: "However, if you really can't find the right one by then, it doesn't hurt to sell you some."
Man Bao's eyes widened, and he sat beside her pillow and said, "When the time comes, we will split the Imperial Manor in two. You sell me half of it, and the Manor Mansion will be built together. If we go out to play, we will be together."
Mingda said: "You didn't know where you were at that time."
She had heard her intention to leave, and Mingda asked her quietly, "If you resign, should you first sit in the Jishi Hall in the capital, or directly go out to study?"
Man Bao lay on the bed frustrated and said: "It's not that simple. It's not certain whether His Majesty will let him go. The most important thing is that my father may not be happy. My family invested a lot in employment last year. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it this year."
Return the money, and there is also a experimental field..."
Man Bao paused and then whispered: "The most important thing is that I am an official now and have a lot of land in my name, so my family is still a farmer. If I resign, people will think that my fourth brother and others are doing business.
If you make so much money, what should you do if your family is registered as a business owner?"
