Chapter 197 Worthless
I can’t even care about my life, so why do I have to have a clear conscience?
What is the sacrifice of a few ordinary people for the sake of the emperor's illness?
The Imperial Hospital Office develops various new drugs every year. How dare you present these new drugs to the palace without taking people to test them? You must have a clear conscience as a doctor. Of course, being a medical official is different from an ordinary doctor.
How can someone who does not harm others and benefit themselves be able to hang out in the officialdom?
Cheng Jinrong is still too young and too upright and kind.
Looking at the blood-filled eyes, still dark and firm, Du Ta said nothing, just said, "You don't need to interfere in the follow-up matters. You will come to the palace to wait for the Empress tomorrow."
"Remember, no matter who asks, you can't reveal any of the things in the house. Even if the Empress asks, you can't say it."
"Since you become a medical officer, you have to abide by the rules in the Imperial Hospital."
Cheng Jinrong nodded and said he would leave.
The loyal licorice was waiting outside the door. The light was dim, and Licorice couldn't see Cheng Jinrong's expression clearly and comforted softly: "Miss, don't be too sad either. The lady has been staying for two days and two nights, but the patient was too weak and had a strong will to survive. It was impossible to hold on."
"Miss has done her best and has a clear conscience."
She did her best.
But does she really have a clear conscience?
She foresaw the risks, but did not really stop Du Tidian's decision, and still opened her stomach to the patient. It was because she knew clearly that Du Tidian would not give in.
She couldn't tell the various trade-offs and considerations about compromise, and the darkness in her heart couldn't be removed.
Cheng Jinrong slowly exhaled hard: "I'm tired."
Licorice's attention immediately changed: "I will go to the kitchen to bring hot water and wait for the lady to take a shower and change clothes."
Cheng Jinrong nodded and whispered to Licorice: "I will enter the palace tomorrow. For the remaining four patients, you must not be careless."
Licorice nodded and responded.
...
Cheng Jinrong was indeed tired. As soon as her head was touched with a pillow, she fell asleep. She thought she would have nightmares, but she didn't. She slept very heavily.
As soon as I opened my eyes, it was the next day and the fifth day.
Cheng Jinrong was silent for a moment, sighed silently, then got up to change clothes and wash.
Licorice was to be kept, but Cheng Jinrong followed Du Ti to enter the palace.
This matter is not big or small, and a shallow mark was drawn between the master and apprentice who are still slowly familiar with each other.
The master and apprentice did not speak in the carriage. However, as soon as they entered the palace gate, their attitudes changed subtly.
Du Tidian smiled and said to Cheng Jinrong: "You haven't entered the palace for several days in a row, and the Empress has been thinking about you. You don't have to go to the duty station, just go to the Jiaofang Palace to pay your respects!"
Cheng Jinrong smiled and replied: "I am obeying the order of the Lord."
He was respectful and intimate, and he was like a good master and apprentice in the Great Chu.
Du Tidian even took Cheng Jinrong to the Jiaofang Hall personally, and asked Empress Pei An to leave.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Empress Pei was really worried. After a careful look, she frowned slightly invisibly. In just a few days, Cheng Jinrong's cheeks were slightly thin, and her expression was not as rosy as before.
Which patient did Cheng Jinrong go to see the doctor?
However, Empress Pei kept in mind Cheng Jinrong's advice and said with a smile in front of the palace maids: "You have not been by my side these days, and I feel that it is not interesting to visit the Imperial Garden."
Cheng Jinrong immediately smiled and said, "Weichen has always been in mind. Now the sky is right, do you want to go out and relax?"
Empress Pei nodded with a smile, waiting for Cheng Jinrong to come forward to hold her arm, and under the cover of her wide sleeves, she quietly shook Cheng Jinrong's hand.
Cheng Jinrong felt warm and smiled at Empress Pei.
...
Empress Pei's physical strength is much better than before. In the past, she took half an hour to take a tea. Now she has been walking for about a stick of incense and has not seen any fatigue.
The palace maids followed from afar, and only Qingdai Sanglan could hear Queen Pei talking.
Empress Pei asked softly: "Jinrong, has that patient been cured?"
Cheng Jinrong whispered: "No, the patient didn't hold on and died."
Empress Pei: “…”
Empress Pei paused and looked at Cheng Jinrong, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
After becoming a doctor, he saw much more than ordinary people. Cheng Jinrong was so young that he could see and know with his own eyes that the patients he treated had not survived the death. How could he feel good?
Cheng Jinrong had calmed down and smiled faintly at Empress Pei: "Don't worry, I can hold on."
He has mediocre medical skills and is not worthy of being a doctor. He is fragile and vulnerable, and cannot be a good doctor.
In her previous life, she lived for twenty-five years, but her life was not long, but what she experienced was better than others' life and two lives. She was also used to separation from life and death.
She just felt a little guilty.
The sea of medicine is endless, and the pursuit of medical skills should be endless. If her surgical skills are more exquisite and the prescription for fever reduction is better, perhaps, she can save her life.
Empress Pei seemed to have seen Cheng Jinrong's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh.
The girl Xiao his father is true.
The same was true for Cheng Wang back then. He never was proud and complacent with his medical skills, and he never stopped his pursuit of medical skills.
Cheng Jinrong is not an ordinary girl in the boudoir. She has outstanding talent, extraordinary intelligence, and is young and talented. Her life should not be just about going to the palace to stay with her cowardly and useless mother.
One day, she will let her daughter break free from all this and live her own wonderful life.
Empress Pei thought silently and did not say anything again.
Cheng Jinrong is not a talkative person, just staying with Empress Pei quietly.
This tranquility was quickly broken.
...
With the precedent of Concubine Luo, when you have nothing to do, you will come to the Imperial Garden to "acquaint" with Empress Pei's harem more and more concubines.
Empress Pei didn't want to see anyone before, but now her mentality has changed. She wants to suppress Emperor Zheng and regain the power of the six palaces. Empress Pei will meet her when she comes to pay her respects.
However, Empress Pei's attitude towards the concubines was also different.
When Empress Pei looked cold when she saw the concubine who was close to Emperor Zheng on weekdays, she looked cold. On the contrary, she had a friendly attitude.
The concubines in the harem are not smart people who raise their eyebrows. After a few times, all the concubines will feel attentive. The Empress is going to fight with Emperor Zheng. Whoever stands on the side of Emperor Zheng is the Empress's enemy.
How to take the team?
This is not only a contest between Empress Pei and Emperor Zheng, but also a dispute over the throne between the eldest and second princes, and also involves the Duke of Pingguo and the Marquis of Yong'an outside the palace.
Now, all young concubines show favor and surrender. The concubines in the palace who are truly worthy of raising princes and princesses are calm and have not moved yet.
