When the Queen Mother and Li Wensong arrived at the Qinzheng Palace in a rage, they unexpectedly saw Wushuang there.
The empress dowager disliked her face very much. She was worried that because of this face, the emperor would neglect state affairs and let this woman become the favorite in the harem. What future would there be for the Zhao family?
Qin Mu was talking to Wushuang, and he wasn't surprised to see the Queen Mother coming over. He asked, "What brings you here, Mother?"
The Queen Mother said, "I have thought about it and realized that as a mother, I have shown too little concern for you. I haven't even asked about your health."
"The imperial physician checked your pulse, and I didn't even know it," the Queen Mother said calmly. "Last time you left in a hurry, looking as if you weren't feeling well, and I didn't even ask."
"I am truly unworthy of being a mother." The Queen Mother said with a sad look.
"You are too kind, mother."
Wushuang watched the Queen Mother's performance from the side. She was indeed worthy of being the champion of the palace fight last year. Her acting skills were truly natural.
Wushuang looked at Qin Mu again. Although he couldn't tell anything from his face, he could show his concern for the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, I am really worried about your health. Could you please let Imperial Physician Li take a look at you? It will also comfort your mother." The Queen Mother said with a motherly look.
Qin Mu looked at Doctor Li, then at the Queen Mother, and finally agreed to let Doctor Li take a look.
Wushuang was very calm. She was not worried at all that Doctor Li would be able to tell Qin Mu's health problems by taking his pulse.
Because Wushuang had already given Qin Mu the medicine she made, there was definitely no problem judging from his pulse. With Wushuang's help in cheating, Li Wensong failed to diagnose Qin Mu's hidden illness.
Of course, the medicine Wushuang gave Qin Mu was not to make him fully recover, but just to deceive other doctors based on his pulse.
In fact, Qin Mu still only reacted to her and had no reaction to anyone else.
Li Wensong carefully took Qin Mu's pulse and checked it several times but found no problems.
Whether it was taking the pulse or other methods of observation, auscultation, questioning or palpation, he was unable to find any problems with Qin Mu's body.
Li Wensong stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty is in excellent health and vigor."
The Queen Mother looked at Li Wensong in surprise. He shook his head at her, indicating that the problem the Queen Mother suspected did not exist at all, and Qin Mu was in very good health.
When the Queen Mother saw Li Wensong's expression, she knew that her suspicions were false, but she still couldn't understand why so many concubines in the harem were not pregnant.
She really wanted to ask, did Qin Mu touch any of the concubines in the harem, or was he just like Concubine Shu, whom he had never touched?
“Hmm…”
When Li Wensong and the Queen Mother were doubting their lives, Wushuang couldn't help but vomit.
The Queen Mother frowned and looked at her when she heard the noise. Qin Mu also walked over to her and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wushuang shook her head. "Maybe today's meal was exceptionally delicious, and I ate too much. Or maybe I ate something wrong, and now I feel a little nauseous."
Qin Mu frowned at her, then said to Li Wensong, "Doctor Li, come and take a look at Lady Shu."
Li Wensong stepped forward to check Wushuang's pulse, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face as he did so.
"What's wrong? What happened to Miss Shu?" Qin Mu asked.
Li Wensong smiled and congratulated Qin Mu, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lady Shu is pregnant!"
"Are you pregnant?" Qin Mu was a little confused. When he looked at Wushuang, his expression was still a little bit unbelievable.
The Queen Mother was also surprised. She was pregnant?
It is really surprising that this beautiful lady, who was born as a tofu girl, became pregnant before other concubines.
But it’s not that surprising, after all, Miss Shu is indeed favored.
"Your Majesty, Lady Shu has been pregnant for more than a month, and her pulse is strong. It must be a healthy child." Li Wensong said happily.
Although he was supported by the Queen Mother and naturally stood on the Queen Mother's side, the Emperor was the Queen Mother's child, so of course he was happy for Qin Mu that he had an heir.
The main reason is that now that the emperor has a successor, the throne will be more stable, and the safety of him as an imperial physician working in the Imperial Medical Bureau will also be guaranteed.
"My beloved concubine is pregnant! I have an heir!" Qin Mu was extremely happy. He was twenty-seven years old now. Was he finally going to have a child?
Regardless of whether Wushuang is carrying a son or a daughter in her belly, it means that he will have his own child, and he can have more in the future.
So Qin Mu was very happy.
The Queen Mother was also happy, but she was only happy that Qin Mu had a child. She was not happy at all that Wushuang was pregnant.
It would be even better if Qin Mu could have a child with the girl from the Zhao family.
"Lady Shu is pregnant. Pass on my decree to promote Lady Shu to Xiuyi and change her title to Chen." Qin Mu said happily.
"Emperor!" The Queen Mother interrupted Qin Mu and said, "How can you give her the title 'Chen'? This is inappropriate."
What does the word "Chen" represent?
It represents the emperor's residence and the throne.
Just because Wushuang was pregnant, she was given the title "Chen" and promoted from a fourth-rank beauty to a second-rank Xiuyi. Isn't this honor too much?
"What's wrong with that? Chen Xiuyi is pregnant. She is the first and only pregnant concubine in my harem. There is nothing wrong with her promotion." Qin Mu said stubbornly.
He had previously confirmed that he only had feelings for Wushuang, which meant that she would be the only person who could have children with him, so of course it would not be excessive for him to ban her in any way he wanted.
If the baby in her belly had not been born for only a month, Qin Mu might have made her a concubine or even a queen.
