Manbao nodded vigorously.
Minister Liu looked at her with gratification and said, "Good child, it's rare for someone as young as you to realize this. You must understand, having reason doesn't mean you have to speak loudly. The court isn't a marketplace for shouting, there's no need to raise your voice."
He said, "They have a temper because they're in poor health, and aren't you a doctor? You should know that poor liver and kidney health leads to a bad temper. In the court, as long as you speak reasonably and with evidence, do you think the emperor would stop you from speaking?"
Minister Liu slowly said, "And if you speak, everyone will have to listen, whether your voice is loud or soft. Speaking loudly can harm the liver, so why bother?"
Manbao pondered and after a while shook her head, "But it's so difficult. When I hear such foolish and biased questions, I can't help but get angry. Minister Liu, how do you keep calm?"
