Chapter 118
Seeing her actions, Song Xuan's dark eyes flashed with a complex mix of emotions and sadness. His hands, which were hanging in his sleeves, clenched slightly. In the end, he only said, "When the divine physician returned from his travels, I summoned him to the palace. You have signs of premature labor, so you can let the divine physician take a look."
Although the two were arguing, he was always thinking of her. As soon as the divine physician returned to the capital, he sent someone to invite her to the palace.
Shen Qingnian then noticed the divine physician standing behind her. She smiled gently and said, "Your Highness, I thank you for your kindness. Recently, I have no more signs of premature labor, and I have become accustomed to Imperial Physician Xu, so there is no need to trouble the divine physician."
The imperial physicians in the palace might not be able to diagnose her twins, but a renowned doctor might be able to.
Seeing that Shen Qingnian refused, the divine physician stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, I have some knowledge of pregnancy care and may take your pulse to ensure a safe pregnancy."
He and the Crown Princess were old acquaintances. He was the one who treated the Crown Princess's back injury before, and since the Crown Princess didn't look well, he wanted to do his part.
"Your Highness, I have just examined the Crown Princess's pulse. Her pulse is stable, and the baby in her womb is very healthy," said Imperial Physician Xu, bowing respectfully.
These words were a polite way of saying that Shen Qingnian was declining the doctor's offer.
He was also from the common people, so he had naturally heard of the legendary doctor's reputation and knew that the Crown Princess must not let the legendary doctor take her pulse.
The divine physician frowned slightly. He looked at Song Xuan and said, "The Crown Princess's complexion is not rosy, and her pregnant belly is larger than that of an ordinary woman. I beg Your Highness to allow me to examine the Crown Princess."
Although he spoke cryptically, it made Shen Qingnian clench her handkerchief tightly, and Song Xuan also looked worried upon hearing this, clearly having been persuaded by the divine doctor.
At this moment, Xia Zi ran in from outside the hall. He knelt down in front of Song Xuan and reported, "Your Highness, after the Empress had the divine physician take the Crown Princess's pulse, she went to Fengyi Palace for a short visit."
The divine physician's visit to the palace this time was not only for Shen Qingnian, but also for the Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian immediately said, "I have Imperial Physician Xu with me, so I am fine. His Majesty's health is the most important thing. Please, Divine Physician, go to Fengyi Palace as soon as possible."
She sat on the chaise longue, her head slightly lowered, looking resistant.
The divine doctor glanced at her, then at Song Xuan, and didn't dare to speak for a moment. However, when he looked at Shen Qingnian, he noticed the prescription on the small table, which was covered by books. Several medicinal herbs were written on the slightly exposed Xuan paper.
Song Xuan finally sighed softly, waved to the divine physician, and signaled him to leave with Xia Xiazi first.
Seeing the divine physician leave, Shen Qingnian finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. The imperial physician, Xu, also very perceptive, picked up his medicine box and left.
Only Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan remained inside the hall; the rest of the palace servants had also left.
Song Xuan looked at the beauty on the chaise longue. She was wearing a light purple dress and looked a little tired, but her beauty was still undeniable. Her belly seemed to have grown bigger, probably because she was uncomfortable from the baby in her womb.
Zhu Lan had previously reported that her legs and feet had been swollen recently, and she was unable to sleep well at night.
Thinking of this, Song Xuan could no longer suppress the heartache in his heart. He stepped forward and said softly, "Qing Nian, I know you are still angry with me, but can you give me another chance to make amends? I will definitely satisfy you."
The man was filled with remorse. He was blaming himself for the mistake he had made, feeling that Shen Qingnian was angry because he had failed to keep his promise.
He only wanted the other person's forgiveness and wanted to make amends to them.
Shen Qingnian lowered her head slightly, deeply moved by the man's sincere and earnest words.
But it was merely a feeling of being moved...
She looked up at Song Xuan, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said:
