Everyone began to doubt the gestational age of Su Xuening's baby.
Only the imperial physician bowed to Xuanyuan Peng without the slightest suspicion and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Princess is now more than six months pregnant."
Upon hearing the imperial physician's answer, all the imperial physicians were stunned once again.
What does this mean?
Isn't it normal for it to be over six months old?
It's been over six months since the Holy Princess married the Holy King to bring him good fortune, right? Six months pregnant is definitely correct!
Hang Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this answer.
If it's six and a half months, then it's correct, indicating that the Holy Princess's child has no problems.
He had just been worried that if there was really a problem with the child in the Holy Princess's belly, then he would be guilty of negligence.
If the emperor punishes him for his poor medical skills, he will accept it. But if the emperor suspects that he has been bribed by the Holy Princess and the Holy Consort, then his position as head of the Imperial Medical Academy will be over, and he may not even be able to retire peacefully.
After all, no matter how much the Emperor dotes on the Holy Prince and the Holy Prince's Dowager, he wouldn't want to see them reaching out to him.
Even if the Emperor might not be willing to punish the Holy King and the Holy King's Dowager, he would certainly be willing to deal with a mere imperial physician!
Su Huiyan and Su Feiling's expressions changed instantly upon hearing the imperial physician's answer.
Su Huiyan immediately looked at Su Feiling, as if asking her what was going on.
Su Xuening is over six months pregnant, isn't that right? Why is she saying there's a problem with the month of her pregnancy?
Su Feiling was also shocked by the imperial physician's answer.
More than six months?
How could that be? She was deflowered before the wedding, how could she only be six months pregnant?
And with her belly so big, it's impossible that she's only six months along!
Xuanyuan Peng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it had been more than six months.
Fortunately, there were no problems with the timing of this girl's pregnancy. Otherwise, given Xuan Yuanzhan's infatuation with her, even if there were problems with the child in her belly, that silly boy Xuan Yuanzhan would probably still keep it.
Now that it's proven there's no problem, everyone's happy.
It just so happens that he is a young grandson of the emperor, and very healthy, which is truly a cause for celebration.
Just as Xuanyuan Peng was about to speak, Su Huiyan exclaimed in disbelief, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? She's more than seven months pregnant, not more than six!"
The imperial physician replied with unwavering certainty, "Indeed, it has been more than six months, or more precisely, six and a half months."
Xuanyuan Peng laughed upon hearing this, and looked at Bai Shi with a smile, saying, "Zhan'er and his wife have been married for six and a half months now, haven't they?"
"Yes, that's right." Madam Bai looked at Su Xuening with a smile and said, "It's all thanks to our Ning'er for bringing good luck to Zhan'er. Zhan'er woke up that very night."
Bai's words were quite clear: the young couple consummated their marriage on their wedding night, which coincided with the Holy Princess's period.
The Holy Princess's pregnancy is perfectly fine!
Xuanyuan Peng had also heard Ya'er mention what happened on their wedding night; the two did indeed consummate their marriage, and there was no problem with the timing of their pregnancy.
Su Xuening and Bai Shi exchanged a glance, and a smile appeared in their eyes.
Thanks to the little medicine bottle her mother gave her, otherwise she would have had a really tough time getting through this today.
Seeing Bai Shi and Su Xuening acting in concert, Su Huiyan immediately became anxious and shouted, "Impossible! You must have made a mistake in your diagnosis. Let's get another imperial physician to examine you!"
Xuanyuan Peng glanced at Su Huiyan with great displeasure.
He hated her wild, shrewish ways the most.
Xuanyuan Peng helplessly gestured with his chin toward the imperial physician behind him: "Continue taking the pulse."
"Yes." A royal physician responded and stepped forward to take Su Xuening's pulse.
A moment later, the imperial physician reached the same conclusion as the first physician: "Your Majesty, the Holy Princess is more than six months pregnant, her health is very good, and the young prince is also very healthy."
This conclusion infuriated Su Huiyan once again: "Your examinations are all inaccurate. Continue to examine my pulse."
The imperial physicians didn't need Xuan Yuanpeng to give any instructions; they all stepped forward on their own to take Su Xuening's pulse.
However, every imperial physician who examined Su Xuening's pulse gave the same conclusion: the Holy Princess was more than six months pregnant.
As Su Feiling listened to the conclusions given by the imperial physicians one after another, conclusions she absolutely did not want to hear, her heart began to grow cold.
If one or two imperial physicians came to such a diagnosis, she would suspect that they might have been bribed by the Holy Princess and Su Xuening.
However, after more than a dozen imperial physicians investigated, they all came to the same conclusion. So it couldn't be a matter of bribery, since they couldn't possibly bribe so many imperial physicians.
Soon, another imperial physician stepped forward, and Su Feiling's originally dull eyes instantly brightened.
Although Su Xuening sat while the imperial physicians examined her pulse, her eyes were still fixed on Su Feiling and Su Huiyan, and occasionally she would meet Su Muyao's jealous gaze.
Seeing Su Feiling's sudden change in expression, Su Xuening turned her gaze back to the imperial physician who was taking her pulse.
Judging from Su Feiling's expression just now, this should be the Imperial Physician Liu.
He looked middle-aged, but still quite refined.
He must be the man who got Zi Shu pregnant.
Su Xuening wanted to see if he would come up with a different diagnosis.
Su Feiling also stared intently at Physician Liu, awaiting his conclusion.
After carefully taking Su Xuening's pulse, Physician Liu bowed to Xuan Yuanpeng and reported the results: "Your Majesty, the Holy Princess is more than six months pregnant."
The answer was exactly the same as before, and Xuanyuan Peng was neither surprised nor pleased.
Upon hearing Physician Liu's answer, Su Feiling's face turned pale.
Liu Songming is her man, and it's impossible for him to be bribed by Su Xuening and the Holy Princess. Now that even he has found out the same result, there is only one possibility.
That means she was wrong. Su Xuening's pregnancy was at the correct gestational age; she was indeed carrying Xuan Yuanzhan's child.
But she was clearly drugged by his "Drunken Aphrodisiac" before, how could she still be a virgin!
Su Xuening had repeatedly proven her innocence by having Granny Jiang examine her body and the imperial physician take her pulse, so it was unlikely that she had lied.
Firstly, Granny Jiang is my aunt's person, and my aunt wouldn't help Su Xuening cover up her lie. Secondly, there were quite a few imperial physicians who examined Su Xuening's pulse that day, and Su Xuening couldn't possibly have bribed so many of them.
Furthermore, since she voluntarily underwent a physical examination, she must have been absolutely certain of her innocence. So, is Su Xuening truly a virgin?!
Did she actually use the herbal drug Aphrodisiac?
There are three possibilities: First, Su Xuening wasn't actually poisoned by the Drunken Acacia; Green Lotus deceived her! Second, Su Xuening was poisoned by the Drunken Acacia but used other methods to counteract it. Third, the Drunken Acacia she bought was fake and had no effects whatsoever.
It seems she's going to see Green Lotus again!
