Seeing Manbao entering the palace, Doctor Xiao, who had also stayed up for most of the night, looked up from a pile of documents. He glanced around and, noticing there weren't many people in the Imperial Hospital, waved to call Manbao into his office.
He pulled out a letter, opened it, and took out a piece of paper to give to her, "This is the prescription that Imperial Doctor Lu provided yesterday."
Manbao took it and saw that it was quite detailed, with both internal and external treatments available.
It was much better than the prescription she had worked on day and night yesterday. Manbao was delighted and immediately began to study it carefully.
Doctor Xiao poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "During the Later Wei period, the Jinzhou area was ravaged by war and famine, it was chaotic. One day Wei's army would attack, and the next it would be occupied by the Northern Han. The dead piled up layer upon layer, leading to a smallpox outbreak."
