I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 475 Recommend or Not
Who doesn't know that Guan Ge is a fatal disease? Poor Madam Xin, she was obviously a beautiful little girl like a flower bud, but before she could sit on the throne of the queen and enjoy endless wealth and honor, she lost her life like this!

All the ladies sighed with emotion in their hearts, and a few of them whose daughters were chosen to join the harem felt a secret joy in their hearts - maybe that extremely honorable position will be our family's turn?

There were even those who were extremely careful and meticulous, who vaguely recalled that all the officials had strongly recommended the daughter of the Huo family as the empress, but in the end the decision fell on the Xin family. At that time, everyone in and outside the court thought that the Grand Marshal gritted his teeth and accepted this result because the eldest lady of the Xin family was his granddaughter - now it seems that there may be other hidden reasons behind the emergency of the eldest lady Xin.

Mrs. Xin's mind was completely blank. She stood up woodenly, and with the help of the maid, she walked to the front of the hall and stood in front of the maid.

The maid kowtowed again, and when she looked up, there was blood on the blue bricks: "I know I have committed a serious crime, and I am willing to accept the death penalty, but I beg Madam to go back and see the mistress immediately, otherwise it may be too late!"

"Puff!" A mouthful of blood spurted out from Mrs. Xin's mouth.

Everyone was immediately shocked, and the maids around them hurried forward to help. In the midst of the panic, Huo Xiu said weakly: "Hurry, help me over to see Yun'er."

As she spoke, she managed to catch her breath and her thoughts became clearer: "Go to the front yard to find the Prime Minister and ask him to send people to the Imperial Temple to invite the best doctors and famous clinics in Xijing and the Five Tombs. Invite all their best doctors back - I don't believe that Yun'er's life cannot be saved!"

The servants felt reassured and immediately dispersed as ordered.

Huo Xiu was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the ladies present. He didn't even bother to say hello and hurried out of the pavilion with the help of the nanny. When he walked over the threshold, he tripped heavily due to his absent-mindedness and almost fell.

Madam Wang looked at Huo Xiu's back, her lips moving. Just as she was about to say something, her arm was grabbed by someone who suddenly appeared beside her.

"Mrs. Lou?" Mrs. Wang looked at Cui Yingniang in surprise. The two of them were just friends for the sake of face, and they didn't have any deep friendship.

"I know what Madam wants to say." Cui Yingniang said quickly: "Madam Jing cured the intestinal carbuncle of Marquis Feng'an with unpredictable means, so when Madam Xin heard that she was suffering from a disease of constipation and was on the verge of death, she felt sympathy and wanted to recommend Madam Jing to Madam Xin. Am I right?"

While she was speaking, Huo Xiu and his group had completely disappeared.

Madam Wang was slightly displeased. She looked up at Cui Yingniang and Lou Ziyan, mother and daughter, and said calmly, "Since Madam Lou knows everything, why are you still trying to stop me? If I remember correctly, Cui Jiu from Madam's family got back on his feet because of Madam Jing, and they even got married a while ago. Madam Jing shouldn't have offended you, right?"

Cui Yingniang knew her well enough to know that she was a very straightforward person. She was probably really thinking that under the circumstances, pushing Madam Jing out was for her own good.

"Madam, have you ever heard of someone who can cure all kinds of diseases?" she asked with a chuckle.

Madam Wang shook her head: "That's not the case. If she can really cure all diseases, then she is not a doctor, but a god." "Yes." Cui Yingniang sighed: "Then why does Madam Jing believe so much that she thinks she can even cure Guan Ge's disease?"

"I have confidence in her." Madam Wang said, "When my son had intestinal abscess, Zhang Tingwei invited many mediocre doctors who said there was no cure. It was Madam Jing who stood up against all the opposition."

"I've heard all this." Cui Yingniang interrupted her: "Because both intestinal abscess and guan ge are abdominal diseases, does that mean she can definitely cure guan ge's disease?"

"I didn't say that, I just recommended it. Maybe Madam Jing can do it."

"What if the patient is not cured?" Cui Yingniang asked again. Without waiting for the other party to answer, she continued, "Mrs. Xin dislikes Madam Jing in various ways. Madam has seen it all. If she agrees to take over out of kindness as a doctor, everything will be fine if the patient is cured. But what if she is not?"

"This..." Madam Wang obviously had not thought about such a complicated question. She paused before speaking, "It is precisely because Madam Xin has a prejudice against Madam Jing that I want to recommend her. Maybe we can turn hostility into friendship. Besides, Madam Xin is already like this. We can only try our best. Even if she can't be cured, we can't blame the doctor, right? Madam Xin has always been sensible. She won't vent her anger on others, right?"

Cui Yingniang was impressed by Madam Wang's simple train of thought. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm: "Madam Xin has a special status. If something happens to her before the wedding, the doctor who is responsible for the treatment will be held responsible. Madam Jing will be involved, and based on Madam Xin's impression of her, she will not only not help her plead for mercy, but will put all the responsibility on her. Those who stand by and watch without being able to treat the disease will be blameless, while those who try will suffer the wrath of His Majesty and may even lose their lives - is that what Madam wants to see?"

Mrs. Wang was obviously stunned. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I really mean it. I haven't thought about it that much."

"I know that Madam has good intentions." Cui Yingniang said softly, "But at this juncture, it's better to have less trouble than more. Just think of it as protecting Madam Jing. She is also getting married soon. If it is really for her own good, why don't you discuss with me what gift to give her?"

Huo Xiu walked into the Yinmei Garden where Madam Xin lived. It was less than two months since the wedding of the emperor and empress, and this previously elegant and refreshing courtyard had changed its appearance. Various wedding and festive supplies were filled in every corner.

On the embroidery table outside the boudoir, there was a half-embroidered veil with a dragon and phoenix. The embroidery was exquisite and the gold thread was dazzling. It was embroidered by Madam Xin herself.

The not-so-spacious inner room was now packed with people. The three imperial doctors from the Taichang Temple all frowned, and when they saw her coming in, they quickly stepped aside and bowed.

Huo Xiu ignored them and walked to the bed with a shaky step. Madam Xin was lying there with her face as thin as gold paper, her belly slightly swollen, and although her eyes were closed, she still showed a painful expression.

The tears that had been swirling in my eyes suddenly fell and could no longer be stopped.

"Yun'er, Yun'er, don't be afraid." She grabbed her daughter's hand and sat down in front of the bed: "Mother is here."

Madam Xin slightly opened her eyes and looked at her mother. She forced a smile on her lips and said in a weak voice, "I'm sorry, mother. I'm afraid that I don't have the blessing to bring honor to the Xin family."
