Chapter 389

His face was somewhat pale, and there was an unquenchable restlessness between his brows. This symptom of wanting to vomit at any time made him irritable, and sometimes he couldn't even concentrate on reading the comprehension passages.

The physician looked thoughtful and asked, "Besides being unable to tolerate pungent odors, does Your Majesty have any other ailments?"

“His Majesty has been craving sour and spicy food these past few days, and seems to be a little irritable as well…” Shen Qingnian added, but the more she spoke, the more she felt something was amiss.

She hadn't realized these symptoms before they were mentioned, but now that they were all coming out at once, she felt something was wrong.

How come Your Majesty's current symptoms are so similar to those she experienced during her pregnancy?

Looking at Song Xuan again, the other party was still frowning, seemingly oblivious, while the divine physician's expression became somewhat indescribable.

"Cough cough cough..." The miracle doctor coughed a few times.

Song Xuan looked at him and asked, "Did the divine physician diagnose anything?"

"I have never heard of Your Majesty's vomiting ailment before, but I have read about it in an ancient medical book. Although the symptoms match,..." The divine physician said, while glancing furtively at Shen Qingnian's lower abdomen. He dared not say the rest.

Song Xuan's tone was sinister: "Why is the divine physician treating me while you look at the Imperial Concubine? Tell me clearly, what exactly are my symptoms?"

Upon seeing this, the miracle doctor's legs went weak and he immediately knelt down.

His Majesty's eyes now look as if he wants to devour someone.

He answered cautiously: "Your Majesty, according to the medical book, there is a strange condition. If a husband and wife have a deep affection for each other, the husband will be extra tender when the wife is pregnant. The wife's morning sickness will then be transferred to the husband. I think Your Majesty's situation is very similar to this."

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. If the symptom described in the ancient medical book hadn't been so peculiar, he wouldn't have remembered it so clearly.

Upon hearing what the divine doctor said, Shen Qingnian was initially taken aback, but then her watery eyes widened in surprise. She looked at the divine doctor and then at Song Xuan, her expression hesitant and unsure of what to say.

Song Xuan wasn't too surprised; he just asked with some doubt, "Then, according to the divine physician, my vomiting is due to Qing Nian's pregnancy?"

He remembered feeling extremely distressed when he missed Yan Qing and Xiao Xi, and later even his feet swelled up, which was truly painful.

"Your Majesty, it is exactly as written in that ancient medical book," the divine physician replied, bowing.

Song Xuan then asked, "Now that I am pregnant, will Qing Nian be more comfortable?"

If he could take the blame for Qingnian, he would think that would be the best thing ever.

The divine physician was not surprised by the emperor's question. After all, the emperor had even suffered from headaches after the late empress left. Now, he wanted to take on the suffering of pregnancy for the imperial concubine, which was indeed something the emperor could do.

“The ancient medical book does indeed say that if a husband suffers from vomiting, his wife will be full of energy, but as the fetus grows, the husband cannot bear the suffering of swollen feet and a heavy body…” the divine physician replied carefully.

Upon hearing this, Song Xuan felt a pang of disappointment, but then said, "At least it can share some of the burden."

The miracle doctor: "..."

The emperor truly loved his wife dearly.

"Since I have nothing to do, I would like to ask the divine physician to examine the pulse of the Imperial Concubine," Song Xuan instructed the divine physician to examine Shen Qingnian's pulse.

Shen Qingnian only then came to her senses from her surprise. She was still somewhat dazed when the divine doctor knelt down in front of her.
