The simple private room of the Imperial Hospital was divided into an inner room and an outer room, with a connecting room.
When the emperor entered the room, everyone saw him. They quickly held their breath, gathered their minds, and rushed to the bedside to examine the child together.
The emperor sat down on the chair and moved forward.
You know medicine, but you only caused trouble in the past. It is better for you to be the mainstay here.
Hu Xinglin's forehead was covered with sweat and his heart was filled with anxiety.
Because I don’t know why a baby who was as healthy as a calf suddenly became like this after only two nights?
The mother first pulled open the swaddling clothes to check if the baby's hands and feet were as jaundiced as his face. Then she checked his feet and then opened his clothes to check his chest...
Without exception, a whole Minion!
Hu Xinglin's heart skipped a beat, and with trembling hands, he finally opened the child's eyes and looked at the pupils.
"Ah——" He was so frightened after just one glance that he loosened his grip, took two steps back and nearly fell on the ground.
Yellow, it’s yellow!
This could be...
Hu Xinglin was thinking of something, and his heart went cold, his face as pale as a ghost.
Zhou was already nervous, and seeing this, she was even more frightened. She stepped forward and held the child tightly in her arms, crying like rain, "What's wrong? What happened? My child... is he okay?"
Hu Xinglin was completely frozen beside the couch and didn't react.
But the panic-stricken look on the face of the other imperial physicians in the midst of the commotion undoubtedly explained everything!
"Hey, hey, hey...even his eyes are yellow?"
"Golden Toad Syndrome! This is a curse, a bad omen! Do you remember what happened to the Cheng family three years ago? It was exactly the same as this! They gave birth to three children in a row, and they were all healthy when they were born, but after two or three months, their skin quickly turned golden and they died!"
"You mean..."
Everyone looked at each other and suddenly fell silent.
After all, the Cheng family's affairs were a hot topic at the time, and no one in the capital knew about it. Moreover, after the three children died mysteriously in the same way, this noble family, which was originally on the rise, suddenly declined quickly!
First, Madam Cheng was beaten and hanged herself, then Old Master Cheng and Old Madam Cheng died of illness one after another, leaving only Cheng Yin.
The high-spirited Tanhua Lang, affected by family changes, resigned from his post and left the sad capital.
Afterwards, no one paid attention to him anymore, but according to rumors, he seemed to have become a monk.
Of course, this is important. The important thing is that since then, people in the capital have called this disease of newborns with jaundice aggravated and leading to death "Golden Toad Disease".
There is no cure, nothing can be done.
Even if he took a large amount of anti-jaundice medicine, it had no effect.
The child will eventually turn into gold and stop breathing.
"Alas, it's true, but we didn't want to save him, and we did save him!"
"Let's go and report to the Emperor."
The imperial doctors turned away helplessly, hanging their heads in despair, their sympathetic glances falling on Zhou and the child countless times.
Zhou cried out loudly and knelt on the ground, "Everyone, everyone, please don't leave, please save my son..."
"Madam, Golden Toad Disease is a terminal illness. It has been cured. Please accept my condolences."
Zhou didn't hear this at all. She turned around and put the child on the couch, then hugged the doctor's legs and said, "My child is fine, how could he get Chrysanthemum Disease? Besides, I don't know what Chrysanthemum Disease is. I only agreed because Doctor Hu helped me and guaranteed that my child and I would be safe.
"Is it true... is it true that you used the method of fumigation with moxa to harm my child like this? Wuwuwu, I understand. The child's father had an accident at work, and the child is posthumous. I, I have lost my husband, how can I lose my child..."
The more people listened, the more they shook their heads. What a poor woman.
But we have no choice.
I've never heard of anyone who has such ability to save a child with golden toad disease.
The room was dead silent, with only the sound of Zhou's crying.
She was heartbroken and turned around to grab Hu Xinglin, "It's all your fault. You killed my child. I'm going to kill you to avenge my child!"
Hu Xinglin dodged subconsciously, but was provoked by Zhou and became angry. He pushed Zhou away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would this imperial doctor want to harm your child?!"
"If it were me, you would have miscarried within a month. Now that you are able to give birth to the child and meet the mother, should you thank me?
"As for this golden toad disease, oh, haven't you heard us say that it has been around since ancient times, and you are the only one with this disease! Could it be that the Cheng family, which gave birth to three children with golden toad disease in a row, did it because the pregnant woman was fumigated with moxa during pregnancy? Ridiculous!"
Yes! This has nothing to do with you.
We only guarantee safe delivery. What does the child’s own illness have to do with it?
However, some people at the scene took a liking to Hu Xinglin and deliberately attacked him.
"Is what Doctor Hu said accurate? Fumigation with moxa will definitely cause golden toad disease, but is it certain that it will? In short, the child is now saved, which shows that Doctor Hu's plan to preserve the pregnancy while keeping the mother safe is not reliable!"
Giving pregnant women moxa fumigation to protect the fetus is not a medical secret, and many husbands actually know it.
But why do people use it? Or because this method is too evil, even against natural human ethics, against nature, and is one of the taboo treatment methods. It is used lightly when there is no other choice.
Otherwise, causing any terrible consequences would be tantamount to digging one's own grave.
Two years ago, a family who forced themselves to use moxa to protect the fetus gave birth to a monster baby, which harmed the pregnant woman and also ruined their own medical career.
"That's right, Doctor Hu is too bold." Someone beside him immediately echoed, "He knew it was a forbidden technique, but he still used it. Now that it has become like this, do you think he wants to push it aside and admit his mistake?"
This Hu Xinglin was fine when he first entered the Imperial Hospital. He was humble and sensible.
I never thought that he would become more and more arrogant in recent years. Who would take him seriously and even dare to use forbidden techniques secretly.
Several imperial doctors have already been pleased with you, and now that we have this opportunity, we must let the emperor treat you well!
Therefore, no matter what Jiang Ying said, Hu Xinglin had already become the target of public criticism.
Jiang Ying was completely exaggerating. What she was concerned about right now was still the child.
Just then, the emperor came over with a cold face, scolding the imperial doctors who only knew how to quarrel and were helpless against the disease. Jiang Ying thought for a moment and raised her head, "Your Majesty, I have a plan. Maybe we can give it a last ditch effort."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked and their pupils trembled!
"Miss Jiang, you are... you want to cure the golden toad disease, right?"
"This is a terminal illness recognized by all the men in the capital! Many people even classify it as a curse. The family members did something bad, and the retribution fell on the child!"
"It's possible... absolutely possible. If the Golden Toad Syndrome can be cured, Miss Jiang, I am over 50 years old, but I dare to call you Master!"
Jiang Ying found it funny. These old guys wanted to be her apprentices?
Yan Zhuo pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Doctor Lin, Doctor Hu made a bet with the future Princess of the County before, saying that if there were any loopholes in Xun Ai's treatment plan, he would be willing to be beaten twice. You are even more cunning. If you lose, you will call the future Princess of the County Master. Then, have you ever asked, does my Yingying want to accept you as his apprentice?"
Doctor Lin was so embarrassed that his face turned red. "This... I..."
"Stop making trouble." The emperor rubbed his brows irritably. These old guys in the Imperial Hospital were really annoying because they were pedantic and self-centered.
When he turned his head to look at Jiang Ying, his eyes were full of praise and tenderness, "Jiang, don't bother me, just say it and do it, no matter what the consequences are, I will cover you. Of course, if you can really cure this poor child, I will reward you!"
Jiang Ying bowed, "Since the emperor says so, I will do my best."
"May I ask what is the solution?"
Jiang Ying glanced around the room, and amid the curious questioning of the imperial doctors, the bitter and resentful look of Hu Xinglin, and the expectant and touching look of Zhou, he slowly uttered two words:
(Guess what it is)
