Chapter 3475 Extra: Gu Zhong 1

As soon as the emperor woke up, the prince's crisis was completely resolved. Although Zhou Man occasionally encountered people here in Taiji Hall who came to quietly accuse the prince, but judging from the emperor's appearance, they were not very successful.

The prince came over with the folded book and saw her sitting on the railing on the side of the hall, looking around. He walked up to her and patted her on the head with the folded book. He asked, "Would you rather die if you spy on the emperor?"

Zhou Man immediately stood up and defended himself, "I was paying attention to His Majesty's body."

After two days of worry and fear, Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't stand it anymore when he relaxed, so he handed over the Tai Chi Palace to Zhou Man and went home first.

The other doctors of the Imperial Hospital also went back to rest, intending to take turns to be on duty after recovering their energy.

Zhou Man is young and has the best medical skills, so he is most suitable to stay on duty at this critical moment.

She looked up at the time and asked, "Why are you here again?"

Didn’t you just leave not long ago?

The prince did not answer her question, but raised his chin and said, "Aren't you tired after two days in a row? Take more rest when you have time."

Zhou Man scratched his head and watched him enter the main hall before going to the side hall to rest.

Because of Gu Zhong, many of the servants in the Taiji Palace were taken away for questioning. At this time, they had not returned yet, and the one who followed Zhou Man in to serve was a palace maid...

Zhou Man asked in a low voice: "How is Mr. Gu?"

In the palace, the palace maid had much better information than she did. The palace maid glanced outside and whispered: "I heard that the injury was serious, so he was not sent to the palace, but to the epidemic prevention center."

That was the place where the maids and maids in the palace would go when they got sick. Before the establishment of the Imperial Medical Office, they basically had to go to the epidemic prevention center to survive. Those with money and connections might be able to buy some medicine to get better faster;

After the Imperial Medical Office was established, because there was a precedent of Zhou Man taking his apprentices to treat palace residents and practice acupuncture, the queen specially prepared medicines for the epidemic prevention center.

Generally, the medical assistants of the Imperial Hospital have to take turns to go to the epidemic prevention center to see a doctor. If the palace maids and chamberlains are feeling unwell, they can also go to the epidemic prevention center to seek medical treatment and medicine. They do not have to move into the epidemic prevention center.

Although the situation is much better now, entering the epidemic prevention center also means that the only medical treatment he can seek is medical assistance.

Zhou Man kept it in mind, and when Xiao Yuan came to take over her duty at night after resting, she did not leave the palace immediately, but wandered to the epidemic prevention center.

The corner of the Yeting Palace where the epidemic prevention center is located is a long way from the Taiji Palace. When Zhou Man reached the place, the bells were ringing, and when the bells stopped ringing, the palace door was about to be locked.

Zhou Man walked into the epidemic prevention center without changing his expression, carrying the medicine box.

The supervisor in the epidemic prevention center was shocked when he saw her and hurriedly came out to greet her, "Mr. Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Man stopped holding the medicine box and said with a smile: "The palace door is about to be locked. It's too late to go out now, so I'm looking for a place to rest."

Who takes a rest and comes to the epidemic prevention center?

Zhou Man looked around and asked, "Master Gu was sent here?"

The supervisor in charge came to his senses and immediately said: "Yes, it's inside."

He personally took Zhou Man to the back.

Chamberlains are different from courtiers. When courtiers are involved in a major matter such as murdering the emperor, they can get back on their feet after clearing their grievances, or even go further. However, chamberlains, regardless of whether the evidence is conclusive or not, will find it difficult to make a comeback once they are involved.

It's okay when the emperor is energetic. He can handle it personally. After all, he is someone who has been serving him for a long time. He has feelings, so it won't be too bad.

But now the emperor has just woken up and is low on energy. He spends half of the day sleeping, and the other half of the time taking medicine and dealing with court affairs. He has no energy to deal with Gu Zhong personally.

The palace is the most powerful place, and even if Gu Zhong still has some dignity, the treatment in the epidemic prevention center is not very good.

He was lying in a small, dark room at this time. There was a strong smell of medicine inside, and it was Gu Cai who was boiling medicine.

When he heard the door being pushed open, he quickly stood up and blocked the medicine stove. When he dimly saw Zhou Man against the light, his eyes turned red and he couldn't help but choked out, "Master Zhou."

Zhou Man nodded to the steward and chamberlain, walked in, and scanned the room with his eyes, "You are boiling medicine? What medicine are you boiling?"

Gu Zhong, who was lying on the bed not far away, coughed and struggled to hold himself up, "Master Zhou?"

Zhou Man stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to hold him down, looked at his face and said, "I was passing by here and came in to see if Mr. Gu is okay?"

Gu Zhong smiled slightly and said, "It's much better than being in prison. Thank you Mr. Zhou for asking."

There was no light in the room, only the scattered moonlight that had just appeared and the fire in the stove in the corner of the room illuminated each other. They couldn't see each other clearly, but Gu Zhong still looked in the direction of Gu Cai accurately, "Why don't you go and tell Master Zhou quickly?"

Make tea?”

Gu Cai shed tears and ran out to make tea.

Gu Zhong and Zhou Man smiled bitterly, "This kid is just honest. In terms of cleverness, he is far worse than his brother."

I'm talking about Guji.

Zhou Man smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with being honest. Honest children are blessed."

"Thanks to the Lord, I hope he is really lucky."

Zhou Man opened the medicine box, took out a candle and was about to light it, when the steward and chamberlain came over with someone carrying lamps and candles, and the dark room suddenly became brighter.

Zhou Man took back his candle and looked at the steward in charge with a smile, "I'm going to rest here tonight so I can take care of things."

"It's an honor for us here, Mr. Zhou, to come. How dare you say it's a favor?" The servant in charge bowed and said, "Our place here is simple, so please don't dislike it."

He said: "Our family will prepare a room for you ahead of time. You can make do with it tonight. We will see if there is anything missing later. Just tell us and we will find a way to prepare it for you."

Then he smiled and said to Gu Zhong: "Master Gu, too. If you need anything, tell me and I will find it for you."

Gu Zhong nodded to him in a friendly manner, indicating that he would take the trouble.

The steward and chamberlain kept talking for a while, and he didn't leave until Gucai came back with tea.

As soon as he left, Zhou Man moved Dengzhuo over to look at Gu Zhong's injuries, "You're here, I'll help you take a look."

She said to Gu Cai: "Take your godfather's clothes and let me take a look."

Gu Cai rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help.

Gu Zhong's body was torn and bruised, so Gu Cai asked medical assistants to take action. They had good medicine that they had collected in the past. At this time, they sprinkled medicinal powder on the wounds. However, there were too many wounds, some of which were deep, so they were bleeding continuously.

Zhou Man looked at it and frowned slightly, "It's not done well. Go get two basins of hot water and I'll do it again."

Zhou Man took a pack of medicine from the medicine box and gave it to Gu Cai, "Take it and boil it. He will drink it later."

Gu Cai hurriedly took the medicinal materials, glanced at Gu Zhong and stepped back.

Zhou Man took out the contents of the medicine box. Gu Zhong saw her arranging knives, tweezers, scissors, needlework, etc. in a row. He was a little worried, "Am I injured so badly?"
