Splendid spring returns

Chapter 79

After a while, an old man with a gray beard walked into the room, and the woman who followed behind reported to Xin Nian in a low voice: "This is the imperial doctor who was invited by the manager to the imperial hospital today. Tian has been treating the empress in the palace, and he just came back today, so the steward hastily invited him over."

After hearing this, Xin Nian calmed down a little, nodded and said, "Okay, mom will go and thank Mr. Gu for me. I can't take care of these things right now. When Liu Zai and Yaya get well in the future, I will have a big thank you."

The mother-in-law agreed, and then sighed: "I hope that the sixth young master and the fourth young lady can turn the bad luck into good luck, and the disaster will be auspicious. Otherwise, these two lovely children..."

I didn't go on to say the following words, but how could Xin Nian not understand?A heart seemed to be tightly grasped, and she couldn't breathe from the pain.Especially when she saw that Doctor Jiao's complexion was getting serious, she became even more nervous.

After an unknown amount of time, Imperial Physician Jiao finally withdrew his pulse-diagnosing hand, looked at the two children regretfully, stood up and came to Xin Nian, and said softly, "I should do my best, but...Young master and miss are seriously ill. My medical skills are shallow, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover, Auntie...should have made preparations earlier."

Xin Nian's eyes widened suddenly, full of horror, she looked at Dr. Jiao in disbelief, her lips moved for a long time before she made a sound, but she trembled badly.

"No...isn't it just a... typhoid fever? How come... Mr. Jiao, you...you can give me another diagnosis, it's impossible, this is impossible! It's just... just a typhoid fever... Jiao My lord, I beg you, you... you can give me another consultation."

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Dr. Jiao with a "plop", which only made the old man step back and turn sideways, and bitterly said: "It's not that I'm being unreasonable, it's really... helpless, this typhoid... It will also kill people ah."

"No... no... no."

Xin Nian couldn't believe this fact, how could it be possible?Even though she has worked so hard in this life, why is fate still unwilling to let Liuzai and Yaya go?Could it be that asking her to live a new life is to let her experience this heartbreaking pain again?She doesn't believe it, she doesn't accept it, it shouldn't be like this...

"Auntie, Auntie, you need to cheer up. If you collapse now, wouldn't the young master and the girl lose all life? Auntie..."

The cries of Xinghua and Chunyu awakened Xin Nian's lax mind. She covered her heart and took a few deep breaths. She held onto the legs of the table beside her and slowly stood up. She was always standing steadily like Mount Tai, but at this time, she was not able to stand up from time to time. His body went limp and trembling non-stop.

"Auntie, this is the prescription left by Imperial Physician Jiao. No matter what, let's take the medicine and decoct it first, and give it to the young master and girl, in case it will be useful. They are lucky, and they will definitely turn bad luck into good fortune."

"it is good."

Xin Nian nodded weakly, Chun Yu turned around and ran out, holding Xinghua, she walked slowly to the bedside, looking at the flushed and sweatless faces of the two children, she felt heartbroken.

"Auntie..."

Xinghua also burst into tears, choked up and yelled, but didn't know how to comfort her.Suddenly feeling that his hands were empty, he looked up and saw Xin Nian suddenly ran out like crazy, thumped down the steps, knelt down on the green brick floor, and kowtowed his head.

"Auntie, what are you doing, Auntie?"

Xinghua screamed and ran out. Before she got close, she heard Xin Nian praying in a hoarse voice: "My God, I would like to exchange my life for my sons and daughters to survive this calamity, so that the rest of my life will be smooth and safe. If my wish is fulfilled, Willing to be thrown into the [-]th hell, never to be reborn..."

Pray to God to exchange life for life.She also did this in her previous life. Just an hour before Liuzai and Yaya passed away, she kowtowed until her head was bleeding and screamed at the top of her lungs, but in the end, she still failed to save the lives of the two children.

Yes, it's useless, and she knows it too.However, facing such a situation again in this life, the only thing she can do is to pray with all her strength.

"Auntie..."

Xinghua covered her mouth, trying to suppress her crying, then she knelt down and kowtowed along with Xin Nian, until her head was bleeding.

The sky is covered with dark clouds, the autumn wind blows, and the chill is piercing.Xin Nian and Xinghua seemed unconscious, blood stained a brick in front of them red.A few maids and women knelt by the side, but they were at a loss and didn't know how to dissuade them.

As soon as Princess Qin entered the courtyard, she saw such a strange and even horrific scene. She was so frightened that she trembled and hurried forward a few steps. After taking a few breaths, he hissed: "Sister Xin, what are you doing? You know that the sixth young master and fourth young lady are in critical condition, but you can't ignore yourself. If you fall, wouldn't they have no way out?" ?”

Xin Nian seems to have never heard of it. In fact, everything around her can no longer enter her eyes and ears. She is immersed in this illusory prayer, as if she can prove her piety to God in this way, and exchange a pair of children to die. escape.

"Sister Xin, Sister Xin..."

Seeing her looking like a madman, Princess Qin was anxious and frightened, she stretched out her hand to grab her arm and couldn't stop shaking it, but she was always weak, and this little strength had no effect on Xin Nian, like an ant shaking a tree.

On the other hand, Lizhi was quick-witted and called out suddenly: "Aunt Xin, I seem to hear Sixth Young Master and Fourth Miss calling you..."

This trick really worked, before he finished speaking, Xin Nian stopped his movements, then got up suddenly, stared at Qin Wangfei and Lizhi for a moment, then turned his head and rushed back into the room without saying a word.

Princess Qin breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Lizhi also pulled Xinghua up, she hurriedly said: "How are Liu Zai and Yaya doing now? I heard that Imperial Doctor Jiao is here, and he is the best at treating typhoid fever in the Imperial Hospital today." ,How did he say?"

Xinghua shook her head and cried: "Physician Jiao said, I'm afraid the young master and girl will fail, let our aunt make preparations early, otherwise... my aunt won't be so gaffe, please forgive me."

"Is...is it so serious?"

Concubine Qin took a deep breath, stood still for a while, then suddenly turned her head and asked Li Zhi: "When we went out, did you take the prescription and the pills with you?"

"Yes, according to Wang Hao's order, I will take them with me."

Lizhi pulled out a palm-sized sandalwood box from his sleeve and handed it over. Qin Wangfei took it in her hand, stroked it carefully twice, Fang took a deep breath, straightened his back and said: "Since that is the case, it may be that the soldiers are in danger." .”

Xinghua was stunned for a moment, a gleam of hope suddenly rose in her heart, and she followed Princess Qin into the room, only to see Xin Nian sitting on the side of the bed like a wooden sculpture of clay, mechanically wiping the foreheads of the two children with a towel.
