Chapter 1173 Triplets
After calming down for a moment, Dr. Yan took Lin Yuesha's pulse again, this time for a longer time, without saying a word.
Lin Yuesha was stunned and even felt incredulous, thinking she was dreaming.
After a long while, Dr. Yan finally let go of her hand, her face showing deep thought.
"Sister Yan, am I really pregnant?"
Lin Yuesha didn't distrust Yan Yan. If she were pregnant, it would only be a little over a month, and her pulse wouldn't show up so early.
Moreover, she has been experiencing lower abdominal distension recently, and feels that her period is about to start.
"Sister Yue Sha, I'm only 90% sure."
Lin Yuesha's pulse was different from that of other pregnant women in early pregnancy, with slight differences, and these differences made Yan Yan unsure.
"How about this, you don't make a fuss yet, and tomorrow I'll think of a way to call Lin Qian over."
The Lin family are experts in this field.
However, because of his close relationship with Lin Shusheng, the Lin family's moral character was implicated, and they have been expelled from the inner city.
The Lin family has a long tradition of medicine, and although Lin Qian is a scoundrel, he is quite accomplished in medicine.
Tomorrow, Yan Yan will choose a place for Lin Qian to take her pulse through a gauze curtain and listen to his explanation.
"Alright, then I'll listen to Sister Yan."
Lin Yuesha touched her stomach, feeling uneasy.
Back at her residence, she was overcome with exhaustion and fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
As the night deepened and all was quiet, Qi Heng left the palace and returned to his residence. Seeing the lights on in the main courtyard, he quickened his pace.
"My lord, please wait."
Granny Fang stood in the shadows of the corridor and rushed out when she saw Qi Heng return to the mansion.
"Granny Fang, what is it?"
Qi Heng was eager to return home; his wife was waiting for him in the room, and probably hadn't gone to sleep yet.
"This old servant has something to say."
Granny Fang was at her wits' end. She had to handle the matter that might offend someone, while the two maids, Qingxing and Qi'er, avoided it.
After returning to the manor, Lin Yuesha felt unwell. Qingxing and Qi'er secretly approached her and asked her to speak to the master on her behalf, urging her not to dwell on matters between husband and wife.
As a servant, meddling in your master's affairs is something no one would want!
Fang Mama initially refused, but since Qingxing and Qi'er had never been married, it was not appropriate to bring up the matter, so the burden ultimately fell on Fang Mama's shoulders.
Granny Fang was suffering inwardly, but she still had to act as if she were thinking of her master, otherwise she would be doing a thankless job.
"explain."
Qi Heng stopped and looked at Granny Fang with a calm gaze.
Granny Fang's heart tightened, but she still forced a smile and said, "My lord, Miss lost too much blood and has been recuperating. That..."
Some things are hard to say. If the master can understand, then Granny Fang will be saved trouble.
Qi Heng remained expressionless, patiently waiting for Granny Fang to continue.
"You still need to be more moderate in your sexual activity!"
Granny Fang gritted her teeth and decided to speak more clearly; hesitating and stammering would only displease the emperor.
"Has Yue Sha's body not recovered yet?"
Lately, the servants in the mansion have been reporting that everything is normal, and Doctor Yan has also said that there is no problem. Could it be that someone is hiding something from him?
Since it concerned his wife, Qi Heng had to ask her a few more questions.
Granny Fang was in a dilemma. Lin Yuesha stayed in her room all day to avoid learning the rules, only coming out after sunset.
With Qingxing and Qi'er guarding the courtyard, she couldn't get in at all.
Fang Mama didn't know the specifics, and not wanting to be cannon fodder, she directly pinned the blame on Qingxing and Qi'er.
"good."
Qi Heng responded softly.
Incense, meant to soothe the nerves and aid sleep, was lit in the room. When Qi Heng entered, he found his wife fast asleep.
As if hearing a noise, Lin Yuesha turned her body slightly, consciously making room for half of the bed in her sleep.
Lin Yuesha's subconscious action made Qi Heng's lips curl into a slight smile, revealing a genuine joy.
He moved a small couch over and slept right next to his wife's bed until almost midnight.
The next day, Lin Yuesha slept until late morning. When she woke up, she asked Qingxing, "Did my husband go back to the manor last night?"
"You're back. The Lord, fearing to disturb your sleep, has placed a small couch beside your bed."
Qingxing pondered that all of this was thanks to her and Qi'er. If they hadn't tricked Granny Fang into speaking on their behalf, and if the master had acted like a beast, the young lady's current condition wouldn't have been able to withstand any further turmoil.
Until we receive definite news from Dr. Yan, this matter must remain confidential.
In the afternoon, Dr. Yan sent someone to invite Lin Yuesha to meet at a teahouse. She was worried that her diagnosis was not accurate, so she invited more than a dozen doctors who were quite knowledgeable about this to conduct a joint consultation to ensure that there was no mistake.
To prevent Lin Yuesha's identity from being revealed, curtains were installed in the private rooms of the teahouse.
"Dr. Yan often privately invites doctors to exchange ideas, so this matter will not arouse suspicion."
They should enter through the back entrance of the teahouse and arrive fifteen minutes earlier than the doctors.
In the afternoon, as agreed, Lin Yuesha, wearing a veiled hat, arrived at the teahouse's private room in a carriage to wait.
"Sister Yue Sha, relax, take a deep breath, and wait for the doctors to take your pulse."
Yan Yan instructed them in advance that after taking the pulse, they would discuss it in the outer room.
After waiting for about half an hour, the doctors arrived one after another.
After saying a few polite words, Doctor Yan led everyone to take Lin Yuesha's pulse in turn.
"What a peculiar pulse!"
The doctors gathered together and exchanged their opinions.
Female Physician Yan is already a royal physician. In order to improve her medical skills, she often organizes exchanges among people.
Everyone present was a highly skilled physician, and they each offered their own opinions on Lin Yuesha's pulse.
"Although it has only been a short time, the slippery pulse, like pearls rolling on a plate, indicates that she is pregnant."
After everyone gathered together to discuss it, they were able to make a basic decision.
"I have invited you all to take my pulse today because I have a small question."
Lin Yuesha had a slippery pulse, but it was different from the pulse of a woman in early pregnancy. Doctor Yan had never seen a similar pulse before.
"Dr. Yan, this subtle difference does not affect the pregnancy pulse; it only indicates that the woman is not carrying a single child."
Lin Qian picked up his teacup, blew on it, and smiled.
"What do you mean? Are you pregnant with twins?"
Yan Yan was somewhat incredulous; she had seen the pulse patterns of twins before.
Back in the Northwest, there were women in the military camps who were pregnant with twins. Yan Yan examined their pulses and was quite certain of the difference between the two.
"Imperial Physician Yan, what Physician Lin said is actually correct."
Among the doctors, there was an old man with gray hair who had practiced medicine for most of his life and was very knowledgeable.
The woman just now is pregnant, not with twins, but with triplets.
Although this is rare among women in the Great Qi Dynasty, it is not unheard of.
"In my decades of medical practice, I have seen about four or five women who were pregnant with three children, and they all had this pulse pattern."
The old doctor can guarantee with his many years of experience that his pulse diagnosis will not be wrong.
"What Doctor Li says is true."
The younger ones remained silent, while the older, more experienced doctors all agreed with the white-bearded old man's statement, confirming that they were indeed triplets.
