Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 130

Liu Manman is only somewhat talented and can still be of some use in certain aspects; otherwise, he would have kicked her out long ago.

The emperor frowned and said to Liu Manman, "Madam Shen is right. Then you should come and take a look at my intestinal abscess and see how to treat it."

Liu Manman felt a tightness in her chest.

She knew that intestinal abscess was appendicitis, and judging from the emperor's symptoms, it should be chronic appendicitis.

The most effective treatment for appendicitis is surgery, but that was simply not possible in ancient times.

During an acute attack of chronic appendicitis, antibiotics can be used as a temporary measure. She has antibiotics in her storage space, but she can't access them right now!

She came to the palace today without intending to treat anyone, so she didn't bring any medicine chest or anything like that. She came empty-handed. Now we can't expect her to conjure up medicine out of thin air, can we?

Liu Manman then said, "Your Majesty, I have medicine to treat your intestinal abscess, but the medicine is at the Yongning Marquis's residence, and I need to go back to get it."

Shen Lingjun interjected, "Madam Liu, didn't you see that His Majesty is in unbearable pain? It takes at least half an hour to go from the palace to the Yongning Marquis's residence and back. Are you going to make His Majesty suffer for so long? The Imperial Hospital has all kinds of medicines. If you need any medicine, just write a prescription and have the Imperial Hospital prepare it. Wouldn't that be much faster?"

She had a nagging suspicion for a long time.

Liu Manman was known as a miracle doctor, but she had never seen Liu Manman perform any medical procedures such as pulse diagnosis, acupuncture, or prescription.

So far, it seems that Liu Manman has only done one thing: take out the medicine directly.

This made her wonder, just how good was Liu Manman's so-called medical skill?

Liu Manman, steeling herself, argued, "What do you know? That medicine took me a lot of effort to make; it takes a long time to prepare. It can't be made in a short while. If there's a ready-made medicine, of course we should use the ready-made one."

Shen Lingjun: "There's no need for you to go back and get it yourself. The Emperor will send a royal guard to do it for you, which will be much faster than you doing it yourself. You just need to tell him where the medicine is. Don't you trust the Emperor?"

Liu Manman had already realized that Shen Lingjun was deliberately making things difficult for her!

Suppressing his anger, he said, "Of course it's not that I don't trust the Emperor, but..."

Shen Lingjun then made a detailed arrangement: "In the meantime, Madam Liu can help the Emperor relieve his abdominal pain. Madam Liu is known as a divine physician, she can't possibly only know how to dispense medicine, can she?"

Liu Manman felt flustered when her words hit her most vulnerable spot, but she still had to stick to her guns: "The Emperor's illness can't be treated with anything other than medicine; any other methods would be futile..."

"That's wrong!"

As the aged yet dignified voice rang out, Physician Sun, who had been summoned by the palace servants, walked in from outside.

Physician Sun first paid his respects to the Emperor, then frowned and looked at Liu Manman:

“Madam Liu, you are mistaken. Although appendicitis is difficult to treat, there are many ways to temporarily relieve the pain besides taking medicine. Since you have the reputation of being a divine physician, how could you not even know these things?”

Physician Sun did not have a good impression of Liu Manman.

Based on my previous interactions with Liu Manman, she clearly lacks any compassionate heart as a doctor. Now it seems that her medical skills are questionable.

This time, it was Shen Lingjun's turn to add fuel to the fire: "Madam Liu, I've noticed you've been making all sorts of excuses to avoid relieving His Majesty's pain. What exactly do you mean by this? Are you deliberately trying to watch His Majesty suffer, or is it that you can't do anything other than prescribe medicine?"
