Imperial Doctor Liu said, "The cold has penetrated his bones; it's very difficult to remove. From October to March of the following year, he's in the most discomfort, especially in December, when he can basically only lie in bed."
Manbao asked, "Then how can he still serve as the Junior Supervisor of the Palace Eunuchs Department?"
Imperial Doctor Liu smiled and said, "He's not like the external ministers who need to attend court to manage affairs. The matters handed over to the Palace Eunuchs Department are dealt with by the heads of various bureaus. When something reaches him, the junior eunuchs take over, and if they can't solve it, they report it to him for a decision. Why can't it be done?"
