"Even if he can diagnose the Dowager Empress, so what? Anyone with eyes can see that she's old and full of ailments, could be gone anytime. If Lu Sangqi gets implicated, the Emperor certainly won't let him off."
"Man'er, what you say makes sense, but Lu Sangqi can still meet the Emperor, and who knows when he might get summoned to the palace as an imperial physician." This was also why Second Lady Huo didn't want to marry Huo Ning to Lu Sangqi.
She never showed any favoritism to the daughter of a concubine and naturally didn't want them to marry into better families, living better lives than her own daughter.
Huo Man sneered, "Mother, have you forgotten? Lu Sangqi already refused once to enter the palace as an Imperial Physician. Otherwise, with Physician-in-Chief Lu's status, how could he not recommend his own grandson? He is indeed proud, but after refusing once, the Emperor surely wouldn't ask again."
