Chapter 2017

It was getting brighter outside, and the morning light came in. The palace people went in and out carefully, put out the lanterns and took them away.

The emperor and queen silently burned the last handful of paper money. The prince got up to burn incense and add lights. When he turned around a big column in the hall, he gave a meal.

Duke Wu, who served the prince to add the lamp, looked up slightly and saw that Zhou man was sleeping soundly only against the big column with his head against the big column. I didn't know when she dragged a futon under her knee, but she didn't kneel well. It was like sitting directly with one hand on the medicine box in her left hand

Because there was a white curtain hanging in the hall, the column was tied with white hemp and hung down just to block her. No one noticed that she was hiding here last night.

The prince saw that her mouth was slightly open and her saliva was about to flow out. It hurt his eyes, so he walked quickly past her and touched her gently with his toes.

Man Bao woke up instantly and sat up straight. She turned her head and looked at the prince's northern shadow. As soon as she looked up, she looked up at father-in-law Wu, who was winking at her. Before she realized it, father-in-law Wu ran away with the prince.

Man Bao moved his body to ease his kneeling numb legs. Only after half a sound did he hold the column up.

The prince added all the lights that needed to be added in the hall. When he came back, he saw Zhou man move the futon out of the back of the column and kneel in front.

Just because she slept against the pillar, she still had marks on half of her face.

The prince glanced at her and when he didn't see it, he went forward and handed the burned incense to the emperor and queen.

The emperor and the queen put on a handful of incense and kowtowed before they stood up with each other.

The emperor had to take a bath and change clothes and go to the front to see the officials. The queen would also go to see the officials and their families later, crying with their own men. Therefore, the Emperor didn't say much to the queen, but ordered Zhou man, who knelt behind in a daze: "Zhou man, take good care of your mother."

Man Bao regained consciousness and immediately responded. He didn't get up from the mat until the emperor and the queen Prince passed by. Then he took the medicine box and went back to the Tai Chi hall with the queen.

Man Bao showed the empress her pulse. Unlike her laziness, the empress kept it all night, so she was a little weak at this time.

Aunt Shang also knew this. She had to see the official family tomorrow, so she asked man Bao to show the queen whether she needed to take medicine.

At this time, you can't eat medicated meals, because many medicated meals to replenish qi and blood need meat and fishy things, so man Bao still prescribed the medicine, then asked the queen to take a bath and change clothes, gave her a needle, and took the medicine after breakfast.

After all this, the queen leaned on her couch, closed her eyes and waited for time to see the official family in front of her.

Maybe it's because she got a needle and took medicine, or maybe it's because she didn't sleep all night. The queen, who has always slept lightly, fell asleep with a soft pillow, because everyone heard the sound of gently snoring, which is very rare.

So the people in the palace began to light their hands and feet and quietly retreated out.

Aunt Shang pulled man Bao out gently. She smiled and said, "let your mother sleep for half an hour. Doctor Zhou go to eat first. Later, you have to accompany your mother to kneel."

Man Bao responds and turns to the side hall for dinner.

When the queen woke up, the front was ready. The queen went to the mourning hall. The square on both sides of the Tai Chi palace was full of people. The emperor and the queen led the people in the imperial family to stand in front of the mourning hall. Man Bao followed aunt Shang. They stood on the side, across a main hall, opposite doctor Xiao, who was responsible for looking after the emperor.

Doctor Liu has gone down to rest in shifts.

The Minister of rites presided over the funeral and guided the emperor and empress to worship. Outside, there were heralds. All officials and their families listened to the orders and worshipped, followed by crying.

Man Bao didn't go down with the queen until noon. When she went down to have a rest, she took the opportunity to go back to the side hall of the mourning hall. This is already the temporary office room and rest room of their Tai hospital. At this time, there are Tai doctors and medical aids sleeping and sitting down for rest.

Zheng Gu, Zheng Shao and Liu Yinv were also there. They were ordered to come in early in the morning to help. They went to cook refreshing soup and Xiaoshu Soup for people. When they saw master coming in, they immediately came forward.

Man Bao invited them to come forward. The four teachers and disciples pulled out the box under the bed. She checked that there was nothing wrong in it. Then Zheng Shao asked him to take it out to father-in-law Wu and asked him to help her take it back to the East Palace first.

Duke Wu wanted to send someone back to the east palace to get the prince's happy clothes. After receiving the things, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, let you keep an eye on your mother and little emperor and grandson."

Man Bao nodded, "I'll pay attention."

Duke Wu was satisfied and asked people to hold things and turn away.

Man Bao then went back and arranged three disciples, "Zheng Gu, I have agreed with doctor Xiao. You go and fight him, Zheng Shao. You follow doctor Zheng, and Sanniang you follow me."

The three people who could only cook medicine were properly arranged. The medical assistants who were still sitting in the room were envious, but they could only watch them go.

Man Bao turned around and saw it. After thinking about it, he went to find doctor Xiao. "Doctor Liu said it wasn't obvious today, but there must be a lot of people who have been ill for two days. It's better to come in turn and stay behind in batches to make medicine, so that people in front and behind can rest."

Doctor Xiao understood Zhou man's meaning. She wanted to train more doctors. However, "all officials, honourable officials and women's families are in the palace. If your majesty is considerate, you will be separated in seven days. If your majesty is filial, you will be the least in nine days. We can't explain who is ill, so we should not only be fast, but also have good medical skills, These doctors are inexperienced, so they have to teach again when they take them to the front... "

This is also one of the important reasons why they don't like to bring inexperienced medical help, because there is no accident. They are at most a little angry, but if they delay someone or do something wrong, it's not the fault of medical help, but the fault of the attending doctor.

The three Zheng Gu were fine. They were taken by Zhou man to sit in the hall for a period of time when they were in the Jishi hall. They also went to the palace for a long time to see the palace maids. They were familiar with various steps such as pulse cutting, acupuncture, decocting medicine and so on. The pulse table could be written in detail and rules.

But other medical help is different.

Man Bao thought and said, "so I still have to teach."

She turned and said, "you and Dr. Liu should have taken them long ago, so that they won't be too busy and disorderly. There may be many such things in the future. It's better to start now."

Doctor Xiao knew that she thought they didn't cultivate medical help well, but none of his medical skills came from the wind. Those medical help were not his nephew. They had to learn by themselves. They should bring what they should bring at ordinary times, okay?

Even now, he is not for Zhou man's leucorrhea apprentice. He is willing to teach Zheng Gu or she said that he will study the green capsule Sutra together later.

Some words were hard to say, but doctor Xiao looked at Zhou man and showed everything.

Man Bao realized it and sighed, "well, I'll choose two more medical aids to take with me?"

Xiao Yuanzheng smiled and said, "doctor Zhou is willing to work. Naturally, I have no problem."

Man Bao didn't force him anymore. He went in and picked two more medical aids she thought were good in medical skills and conduct, and asked them to go with her.
