Manbao examined his pulse record and carefully recalled Ping Bangyan's face from the other day, pondering as she prescribed him a medication and wrote down medical advice.
She also found him a bottle of ointment, "Treat both internally and externally. From what I saw the other day, it's not very serious. A light diet should speed up recovery."
Manbao discreetly earned side income in the palace until she had time during her next break to formally visit Ping Bangyan and then check on Madam Tang, making her external consultation business flourish.
She brought her apprentice and niece-in-law Liu Sanniang along, intending to give her some experience and simultaneously boost her reputation.
The acne on Ping Bangyan's face was not particularly severe. According to him, he tends to break out when nervous, especially during exams. This time, with such a significant official exam, it was the worst outbreak of his life.
