Chapter 1541: Chapter 1517: Sneaking Quietly

Manbao happily put away the ointment, turned around and dived into the library, found the thin medical book, and borrowed it to continue researching in her room.

Unfortunately, they had to leave the palace the next day, so Manbao copied the prescription, planning to study it carefully after leaving the palace.

When she attended Teacher Mo’s class in the system, she conveniently gave him a copy and asked him to help research it.

Teacher Mo took one look and said, “Are you trying to make skincare products?”

Manbao blinked in confusion, “Skincare products?”

“Oh, you guys haven’t developed the skincare industry yet; it’s a highly profitable industry, but I don’t recommend you get involved because it doesn’t contribute to pharmaceutical research and might instead drain your will and passion.” Therefore, Teacher Mo refused to study it; not only that, he advised Manbao, “I suggest you don’t get involved in this area either.”

However, Manbao was very interested, “But isn’t acne a disease too?”

Teacher Mo said, “What acne can this prescription cure? A real prescription for acne would be more complex. This small amount and simple method of production would only moisturize the skin and slightly reduce some pimples.”

Teacher Mo went offline and soon returned with a book and a notebook, which he placed in the study materials and said, “If you’re interested, you can look at this, but do you have time now? You still haven’t given me the recorded video of the liver cirrhosis removal task from last time, have you?”

Manbao said, “I’ve done it twice and feel I’m not proficient enough, so I haven’t recorded the video.”

“No matter how inexperienced you are, record the video next time so I can see your problems,” Teacher Mo said. “Now, you’re too busy in your world, with too little time to study.”

But Manbao didn’t think so, “Since entering Chongwen Pavilion, I have an hour every night to study in the teaching room, more stable than before.”

“But as you learn more, your previous study time is clearly insufficient,” Teacher Mo valued Manbao as a student not only because of her intelligence but also because she might be able to realize these medical skills after learning from him.

In his world, it’s rare to have the opportunity to apply medical skills. Isn’t he always teaching and doing research while treating Manbao’s cases as treasures?

Considering Manbao’s world, his main focus was on ancient Chinese medicine research, so most of their learning was about ancient Chinese medicine.

This liver cirrhosis removal lesson was a surgical procedure under Chinese medicine treatment, a landmark case of ancient East-West medical cooperation, well-known.

Teacher Mo encouraged Manbao, “Learn this case as soon as possible. Since you spent so much time on it, it’s best to find a corresponding patient and perhaps try this treatment plan.”

Manbao said, “It’s very difficult. The Chinese medicine treatment in the early stages is okay, but combining it with liver cirrhosis removal surgery later on requires them to fall off a horse or be stabbed in the stomach, otherwise I can’t perform liver surgery.”

Teacher Mo: …so ignorant.

But he could only express disappointment and did not suggest Manbao make unrealistic efforts. In this regard, he was similar to Doctor Ji from Yizhou, believing that treating patients also depends on fate. They treat the disease, but the outcome depends on the patient.

So if the patient doesn’t want to be treated, they won’t persuade more. It’s everyone’s personal choice.

Even so, Teacher Mo glared at Manbao, urging her to master this case soon so they could move on to the next topic. Stopping here wouldn’t do.

Thinking about it, Teacher Mo regretted giving her that book and notebook. What if she couldn’t resist the temptation and changes her interest?

Even if she doesn’t change her interest, spending time on this is a pity.

But before Teacher Mo could retract his offer, Manbao had already taken the materials after pressing a button, greeted him, and left.

Of course, Manbao couldn’t read page by page; she had become accustomed to reading Teacher Mo’s world’s books by the contents.

Unlike this world where each sentence needs to be repeatedly read and studied, their writing habit allowed her to grasp the meaning with a glance.

So, a thin medical book in this world required her to read and reread to understand, but not the medical books Teacher Mo provided.

She sometimes found them too verbose, repeating and detailing pathology and treatment methods; Bai Shan, who had once read one of Manbao’s medical books, insisted that her long-winded medical advice was influenced by these medical books.

So when Manbao obtained the medical book, she directly opened the table of contents, found the acne section, and began reading, quickly scanning the pages describing psychological and physical harm caused by acne, turning three or four pages before seeing various causes of acne formation.

Manbao let out a breath, flipping the book while lying on the bed, wondering why Teacher Mo thought she read so fast?

Clearly, it’s all nonsense, so why must she read it word by word?

It’s not even an interesting story or text; she wouldn’t read it then.

Manbao quickly flipped through over twenty pages, hearing Keke in her mind say, “Xu Yu is coming.”

Manbao listened keenly, still hearing nothing.

After sighing about her hearing, Manbao stored the book in the system, then started swatting mosquitoes, chasing them out of the mosquito net, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

As soon as she lay down, she couldn’t help but yawn several times, tears in the corners of her eyes, hearing Keke say, “She’s gone.”

Manbao then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep comfortably and securely.

Before falling asleep, she thought, actually Xu Yu being like this is beneficial as she can ensure she sleeps before past 9 p.m. every night.

She was still young and needed more sleep to grow taller.

Perhaps having this thought before falling asleep, Manbao didn’t wake up on time the next day. Bai Shan, eager to leave the palace, came to knock on her door, and seeing her disheveled hair and sleepy face, asked, “Why didn’t Xu Yu call you?”

It took Manbao a while to react, yawning, “Today happens to be her monthly rest, no need to serve.”

But the water was prepared for Manbao, placed in the wooden tub in the room.

In the summer, hot water wasn’t necessary; Manbao closed the door and went to wash. After dressing and packing, Feng Zongping and the others had breakfast and were ready to leave the palace.

Bai Erlang was anxious, “I arranged with my classmates from the Imperial Academy to go boating at the Guardian of the Nation Temple. You’re too slow.”

Manbao said, “I stayed up late reading last night.”

“Staying up late to read again? You’re an official now; why work so hard?” Bai Erlang thought if he were an official, he surely wouldn’t read another book.

He’s studying diligently every day to escape studying once he becomes an official later anyway.
