He was afraid of taking responsibility, so he could only give an ambiguous reply.

actually.

The imperial physicians who are able to serve in the palace are all very capable.

At the very least, some inexperienced imperial physicians were unable to differentiate between a false pregnancy pulse and a real pregnancy pulse.

But that is also in the minority.

His professional ability and experience can distinguish the two.

But he didn't dare.

After all, the Empress Dowager is the empress of the late emperor. If the Empress Dowager is really pregnant, in this situation where there is no evidence, she will insist that the fetus in her belly is the late emperor's. Even if someone wants to question it, he will not be able to provide evidence.

The current emperor is the stepson of the late emperor who was adopted from a side branch.

The reason why the late emperor adopted a son was because he himself was unable to give birth to an heir, so he had to resort to this desperate measure.

There are many respected old ministers in the court.

What they value most is the nobility of bloodline.

After all, distant relatives are distant relatives and cannot compare to the bloodline of the late emperor himself.

If those old ministers knew that the Queen Mother was pregnant.

What awaits the Emperor and the Queen Mother will be a bloody storm.

The consequences are too heavy to bear.

Even if the imperial physician asked the emperor to doubt his ability, he would not dare to tell the truth.

Dongfang Xunyi caught the frightened look of the imperial physician.

He already had the answer in his mind.

"Oh, so this is a possibility. In that case, you go down first. I will ask another imperial physician to take a good look at the Queen Mother."

Dongfang Xunyi raised his eyebrows and said.

The imperial physician swallowed his saliva, bowed his head and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat slowly settled back into his stomach.

As soon as the imperial physician heard Dongfang Xunyi's words, he did not dare to stay in Li Xia's bedroom for a moment and immediately slipped away.

Whoever wants to take this matter can do so.

Anyway, I can’t answer it.

When Yuzhu saw the imperial doctors retreat, she forced herself to calm down.

She lowered her head, licked her lips, swallowed her saliva, and moistened her throat.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say that the Empress Dowager is definitely not pregnant. Didn't the imperial physician explain it just now? False pregnancy can also cause the pulse to become disordered. In my opinion, the Empress Dowager is most likely suffering from a false pregnancy, just as the imperial physician said."

Yuzhu bravely stood in front of Dongfang Xunyi.

The Empress Dowager's situation in the palace was already embarrassing enough.

In case the emperor becomes suspicious again.

Your Majesty's days in the harem will be like walking on thin ice.

Yuzhu hoped to dispel the emperor's suspicions with her affirmative tone.

On the day of the Empress Dowager's wedding to the late Emperor, she was not always by his side.

But on their wedding night, the late emperor passed away.

The queen's wedding dress was intact.

This shows that the two people most likely did not perform the rituals of Duke Zhou.

so.

Only Yuzhu dares to be so sure.

Compared to her.

Fuling felt extremely guilty.

She hasn't raised her head since Dongfang Xunyi came in.

I was quite hurried just now.

The Emperor came in even though the Imperial Physician had not yet said when the Empress Dowager would be pregnant.

But Fuling had the answer in her heart.

The queen has lost her appetite and feels drowsy all day long since some time ago.

Count the days.

Everything is clear.

If the queen is really pregnant, it must be related to the emperor.

Fuling is extremely sure.

After she confirmed the answer, she became more and more uneasy.

The truth will come out sooner or later.

If the matter between the Empress and the Emperor continues to develop like this, it will definitely be discovered.

After that, the two of them...

Fuling didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.

"You two go down now."

Yuzhu talked a lot, but Dongfang Xunyi didn't listen to a word he said.

He narrowed his eyes and gave orders.

"emperor……"

"What? Can I eat your queen?"

Yuzhu bit her lip, her whole face showing that she was worried.

Dongfang Xunyi looked at her and asked back.

"Slave...slave..." Yuzhu shivered involuntarily when she heard Dongfang Xunyi's voice, which was as cold as ice.

Dongfang Xunyi was brought into the palace at a very young age and learned the ways of a king since childhood.

Just a look from him can intimidate many people.

Li Xia moved her lips and said, "Yuzhu, take Fuling with you. I have something to say to the emperor."

She couldn't bear to see Yuzhu in trouble, so she asked them to go down.

She could also guess what Dongfang Xunyi wanted to ask after sending everyone away.

Li Xia knew that she couldn't hide it from him.

She simply confronted him.

Upon hearing this, Yuzhu glanced at Li Xia out of the corner of her eye.

There was obvious worry in his eyes.

If they go out, will the Queen Mother be in danger?

"Yuzhu, don't you listen to me?"

Li Xia deliberately frowned.

"yes……"

Yuzhu finally did as she said and walked out the door with Fuling, who was still in a trance.

Li Xia and Dongfang Xunyi were the only two people left in the huge bedroom.

Dongfang Xunyi stared into Li Xia's eyes for a long time without saying a word.

"The Emperor asked my men to step back, just to look at me?"

Li Xia frowned.

"mine?"

"no."

"Um?"

"It's mine. Your Majesty, please don't take it."

Dongfang Xunyi was very sure that the night Li Xia spent with him was her first night.

But he didn't know how he ended up asking Li Xia that question.

When Li Xia heard this, she felt inexplicably upset.
