These imperial physicians had long known that the emperor valued Concubine De. They had heard that Concubine De was much younger than His Majesty and was exceptionally beautiful, and His Majesty was very fond of her.

Now the imperial physicians could directly feel the great favor.

The doctors had to observe, smell, ask and feel the patient. When they saw Concubine De for the first time, they all thought that her face was still rosy and it didn't look like anything was wrong.

But His Majesty summoned so many imperial doctors, which is enough to show how much he values ​​Concubine De.

They came forward one by one to line up for pulse diagnosis. Everyone's face showed surprise at first, and then disbelief.

Then everyone fell silent and dared not speak.

The emperor looked at them and felt angry.

He waited patiently for these quack doctors to finish taking his pulse one by one, but none of them spoke.

"What happened?" the emperor asked. "Who among you can tell me?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I... I need to discuss this further."

After that, the imperial doctors stepped back several steps and huddled together to whisper.

The emperor looked at them and became even angrier. These were mediocre doctors. It seemed that the Imperial Medical Service had to reintroduce imperial physicians.

————

"What does Imperial Physician Wang think is wrong with Concubine De?" someone asked tentatively. "I'm so uneducated and incompetent that I can't even diagnose her?"

"This... this is what I'm thinking too. I wonder if you guys have any results?"

Even the old and sophisticated imperial physicians did not dare to speak carelessly.

It was a young and inexperienced imperial physician who dared to speak.

"My Lords, are you all afraid to speak today? Is it true that you haven't made a diagnosis, or are you afraid to speak? Why do I feel that Concubine De's pulse indicates pregnancy?"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked up at the same time and met each other's expressions. What was there to not understand?

Only when so many people came to the same conclusion did everyone feel certain that they had not made a wrong diagnosis.

It seems that Concubine De is really pregnant!!

There has been no child born in the harem for more than ten years, and only one beauty became pregnant a few years ago.

Apart from this, no woman in the harem has been pregnant in these years.

This can be called a miracle!!!

Although they were roughly certain in their minds, the imperial doctors still did not dare to jump to conclusions, and asked Nanny Zhang about Xu Lingyi's menstrual period.

It wasn't until they knew it was postponed for almost a month that they finally confirmed it.

"I will go and inform His Majesty and His Majesty of this news." The oldest imperial physician spoke first.

"Let me go. I was the first one to say that the Queen was pregnant. You guys didn't dare to speak up just now, and now you want to go and try to please His Majesty and the Queen?"

"Hmph, if you come forward, I guess you won't be able to speak clearly. I've been practicing medicine for decades..."

At this moment, these imperial doctors all wanted to be the one to spread the good news.

After all, they could anticipate how excited His Majesty would be.

Xu Lingyi noticed that the imperial physicians seemed to be arguing with each other. The emperor also looked over and his face darkened.

"What are you doing? Come here quickly."

The emperor was still very scary when he was angry, so the imperial doctors hurried over and knelt down.

"How is Concubine De?" the emperor asked with a cold face, his voice as sharp as an ice knife.

The imperial physicians did not dare to argue anymore, and finally the oldest imperial physician spoke up.

"Your Majesty... We, the humble servants, have just discussed for a long time and unanimously agree that Your Majesty is pregnant!"

The emperor suddenly stood up. He was stunned for several seconds before he seemed to react. "You...what did you say?"

The emperor walked quickly forward to the imperial physician who was speaking, held his shoulders, and stared into his eyes.

He looked dazed: "Say it again, are you really sure?"

This man was very nervous as it was his first time being so close to the emperor, but he still spoke again: "Your Majesty, the queen is indeed pregnant. We were afraid to speak out casually, but all the doctors present came to the same conclusion."

The emperor had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the last incident with Zhang Cairen.

When he first learned that Zhang Cairen was suspected of being pregnant, he had just come home from the morning court and could hardly stand.

His hands were shaking with excitement, which was enough to show how happy he was at that time.

He was filled with joy, and on the way he had already decided to promote Zhang's status, at least to the position of concubine.

When her pregnancy is stable and she gives birth to a child, if it is a prince, she will be made queen.

His son can only be the legitimate son.

Zhang's family also needs to be rewarded. Zhang's family background is too low, so they can only find ways to promote her father and brother... and Zhang's mother, etc.

He thought a lot, even though he didn't like Zhang.

For the sake of the child in Zhang's belly, he would also hold Zhang in his arms.

The scam ended up killing this bitch.

He still remembers the deep disappointment he felt at that time. It was a hot summer day, but his heart felt like it was immersed in an ice cellar.

He directly banished Zhang to the cold palace, but he was still not satisfied, so a few days later he ordered Zhang to be executed.

The emperor looked straight at Xu Lingyi, then at the group of imperial doctors kneeling on the ground.

He knew that Xu Lingyi would not lie to him like Zhang Cairen did.

There are so many imperial doctors, even if they are not well-trained, it is impossible for them to collectively make wrong diagnoses.

Moreover, since Xu Lingyi entered the palace, nearly four months have passed, and he has been resting in her palace almost every day.

Xu was inseparable from him, so it was possible that she was pregnant.

The method that the Queen Mother used to select concubines from the people was actually not without basis.

The imperial physician had told him years earlier that it was not that he was infertile, but that it was extremely difficult. If he met some women with extremely fertile physiques, they would be more likely to become pregnant than ordinary women, and these women might be able to conceive an heir to the throne.

For example, the imperial concubine in the palace, and the beauty a few years ago.
