The emperor was very busy that day, so he had no time to read the letter sent by the prince, and later he forgot about it. The diagnosis by Dr. Lao Tan showed that Wei Zhi's health was not optimistic.
He was not happy and didn't want to think about private matters anymore, so he focused on the book and wanted to numb himself with official matters.
It was almost noon the next day when I remembered that the prince seemed to have asked someone to deliver a letter.
After everyone had a discussion, it was time for an intermission.
The emperor turned over the things on the case and saw the letter sent by the prince, so he opened it casually.
Only when he saw the letter did the emperor realize how turbulent the messages outside were. He glanced at the ministers in the room, snorted coldly in his heart, but said gently on his face: "I feel much better today. Dr. Zhou has done a great job. Come here."
Go find two pieces of silk cloth in the warehouse and give them to her."
Gu Zhong was stunned for a moment and then bowed in agreement.
The ministers below expressed compliments without changing their expressions: "If your Majesty is good, the world will be good."
"God bless you, your majesty will surely live a long and healthy life..."
You don't realize that the one who is sick is Wei Zhi, you are just a cover.
But there are only a few ministers in the world who can make the emperor voluntarily become a guise, right?
Han Shangshu and others quietly took a look at Wei Zhi, and no matter how they looked at him, he didn't look like he had only been around for a few years.
It looks like it's bouncing around, and there's no problem at all.
After the emperor paid Zhou Man a favor and had lunch, he took his ministers out for a walk along the shade of the trees to eat, allowing everyone to see his long face, and the matter of serious illness was solved.
At this time, Man Bao and Dr. Tan had already returned to the capital. She first sent Dr. Tan back to the Tan family, and then reluctantly led the horse away.
Doctor Lao Tan was also a little reluctant to leave. He learned a lot from the exchange of medical skills with Zhou Man along the way.
Man Bao gained even more, and felt that he had missed out on Dr. Lao Tan in the past few years, which was really inappropriate.
She was already browsing the bookshelves in Keke's space, thinking about what books or prescriptions she could use to exchange some medical skills or experiences with Dr. Old Tan.
Manbao thought as he returned to Zhou's house.
Mrs. Liu was slightly startled, and brought Mrs. Zheng over personally, asking, "Why did you come back suddenly?"
Man Bao said: "Grandma, I'm coming back to find the doctor who wrote the book. I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "Is it okay with Shanbao and you in the palace?"
"fine."
"Is Erlang still well-behaved? Has he caused any trouble?"
Man Bao: "Don't worry, with Princess Mingda here, he can't cause any trouble."
She gloated and said with a smile: "Your Majesty loves Princess Mingda, so their residence is next to the Longevity Palace, which is very close."
According to Bai Shan, Bai Erlang now has to help the emperor and the empress in the morning and dusk every day. Occasionally, he is dragged by the emperor to take exams for school homework, and is carried to the palace to listen to the discussions of the elders. It is very difficult.
Mrs. Liu felt relieved when she heard this. Seeing that she was about to enter the palace after putting down her things, she quickly stopped her and said, "It's hot now, why not go in after it gets cooler? And you haven't had lunch yet, right?"
Man Bao thought for a while and nodded, "Then I'll have lunch first, but I still won't wait until it cools down. It won't necessarily get cool when the sun goes down."
"Then I'll have someone prepare a carriage for you. If you go there in the carriage, you can block the sun."
Man Bao agreed and went to have lunch with Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zheng.
She handed the list she wrote down last night to Mrs. Liu, "Princess Changyu and the others asked me to bring them all. Grandma, please help me buy them all. I will take them and leave early tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be happy after taking a look at it. There were a lot of foods that Man Bao and Bai Shan liked to eat, and they were all brought by Princess Chang Yu.
She narrowed her eyes with a smile and nodded: "Okay, I will send someone to the store to make a reservation soon, and ask them to make it tomorrow morning. It will be fresher, and then I will send a servant to pick it up. You can take it directly to the palace."
That’s fine.”
Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Mrs. Zheng also looked at the list and said, "Your sister-in-law is not at home."
"When I came back, I had already sent people to Pucun to find my sister-in-law. They will be sent directly to the palace tomorrow."
Mrs. Liu warned: "It's hot in the summer, so don't be gluttonous."
Manbao agreed, ensuring that they would not be gluttonous.
After all, there are so many people in the palace, not to mention Yin or a few others. Many of the family members who followed the ministers are Bai Shan and his classmates from the Imperial College and Chongwen Hall. Isn't it embarrassing to meet them?
Manbao had lunch, rested briefly, and then went into the palace.
The atmosphere in the palace was a bit dull. When the guards guarding the gate saw her getting off the carriage, their eyes widened and they had all kinds of speculations in their minds.
Everyone looked at her with bright eyes. Man Bao looked at them with a puzzled look and tentatively walked towards the palace. Seeing that they were staring at her all the time, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty and short of breath, so she couldn't help but explain.
One sentence, "I came back to Beijing on orders, not by sneaking back."
Guards:...Is this what they want to ask?
What they want to ask is, is the emperor really seriously ill? Why did you come back instead of waiting here?
But no one dared to ask. After all, they could not bear the suspicion of peeping into the Holy Eucharist.
Manbao stepped through the palace gate with a little trembling, and looked back doubtfully. Seeing that they were still staring at her, she asked Keke with concern: "Koko, why are they acting weird? Could it be my clothes?"
Not dressed properly?”
Man Bao also lowered his head and looked at himself, and subconsciously touched his belt and chest, but there was nothing wrong.
Moreover, Grandma Liu and her mother-in-law sent her to the door of the hospital when she went out. If there was any problem, they would definitely tell her.
Man Bao felt a little calmer, but still a little weak.
Keke scanned it back and forth several times, but couldn't find the reason. She felt that intelligent creatures like humans were still too complicated.
Man Bao went to Tai Hospital with a puzzled look on her face. She decided to go to Tai Hospital to find books first, and then go to Chongwen Hall, so that she could go home with Mr. Zhuang in the afternoon.
The atmosphere in the palace was more solemn and more cautious than before. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw her, wanting to step forward but not daring to do so.
Manbao lowered his eyes and thought about it. As he walked up the steps, he wondered, could something big happen in the palace during the few days they went to the palace?
But she didn't hear about it either.
Yongzhou is not far from the capital, and news is not transmitted slowly. If something happens, the emperor will not know about it. She goes to see the emperor every day.
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice came from behind, "Master Zhou, Master Zhou..."
Man Bao looked back and saw Eunuch Wu running this way with two young eunuchs in the distance.
She raised her eyebrows, stood on the steps with her hands folded, thinking, watching Eunuch Wu slowly approaching, then took a few breaths and ran up the steps.
Manbao screamed in his heart and asked Keke, "There are regulations in the palace, no rushing. This is what Eunuch Wu told me. Did something happen to the prince? It can't be that he rebelled, right?"
