Chapter 120
Song Xuan looked at the divine physician and asked, "How is Father?"
After kneeling and bowing, the physician replied, "Your Highness, His Majesty is in good health."
"Then I will trouble you, Divine Physician. I have already ordered someone to prepare a residence for you in the capital. You can move there as soon as you leave the palace," Song Xuan said gently.
The divine doctor helped him a great deal. He had wanted to give the mansion gold several times before, but the divine doctor had refused each time. This time, he brought it up again.
The divine physician blinked, but did not refuse: "Then I will trouble Your Highness to take care of it."
He was aware that His Highness the Crown Prince intended to recruit him.
Accepting the gift meant becoming one of the Crown Prince's people. Although he was naturally a free spirit, after understanding the Crown Prince's character, he accepted the goodwill with peace of mind.
Seeing that the divine physician did not refuse this time, Song Xuan smiled and said, "Guards, escort the divine physician out of the palace properly."
Being able to win over a talented and extraordinary person is a joyous occasion, which has somewhat dispelled his recent worries.
The divine physician did not leave, but hesitated somewhat before saying, "Your Highness, there is something I am unsure whether I should speak of..."
“Of course it should be said,” Song Xuan said gently.
He assumed the doctor had some request to make.
Upon hearing this, the renowned physician no longer hesitated. He carefully chose his words and said, "When I went to see the Crown Princess just now, I felt that something was wrong with her health, and her complexion was also rather poor..."
When Song Xuan heard the divine physician mention Shen Qingnian, his expression became more serious.
He said, "Since the Crown Princess became pregnant, she has had severe pregnancy symptoms and her spirits have not been very good."
With her due date fast approaching, she was even more exhausted. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Xu was there, and after he prescribed medicine to help the Crown Princess prevent miscarriage, her condition improved somewhat.
Physician Xu's medical skills are indeed excellent. Since Qing Nian showed signs of premature labor last time, it has not happened a second time.
Because of the previous treatment the Emperor received by Imperial Physician Xu, Song Xuan trusted him to some extent. That was why Song Xuan did not insist when Shen Qingnian was unwilling to let the divine physician examine her pulse.
Upon hearing Song Xuan's words, the divine physician stroked his beard and finally said, "Just now, in the Crown Princess's bedchamber, I found a prescription under her books. The medicinal ingredients listed on it seem somewhat unusual..."
The prescription might not have been written by Physician Xu, so he could only hint at it and at least give His Highness the Crown Prince a heads-up.
"Oh? What does it say?" Song Xuan suddenly became curious.
Earlier in the bedchamber, he had seen Xuan paper under Qingnian's books, but he hadn't paid any attention to it. Now, after hearing the divine physician mention it, he remembered it.
The divine doctor knelt down and kowtowed to Song Xuan before saying, "This humble one could not see very clearly, but I could see a rouge and a snake bone."
These two medicinal herbs are used to induce labor in women, and I've heard that the Crown Princess had previously shown signs of premature labor, so she shouldn't need these two herbs. That's why I'm curious.
If it were merely a matter of convenience, the fact that the Crown Princess's belly was still quite large and that she even refused to let him take her pulse would be highly suspicious...
Could it be that the Crown Princess's baby is in an unusual stage of pregnancy?
Thinking of this, the divine physician couldn't help but shudder, feeling that he had touched upon a royal secret. He immediately regretted speaking out, as he knew that if His Highness the Crown Prince investigated, he might be implicated.
Upon hearing what the divine physician said, Song Xuan's expression turned somber, and his dark eyes were filled with deep thought.
After a few breaths, he finally spoke, saying:
