Everyone watched the imperial physician's expression relax and then frown, and their hearts rose and fell accordingly.
After waiting for a while, the emperor couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
The imperial physician withdrew his hand and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi's pulse is... pregnant."
Hearing this, the Emperor was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Really? Concubine Yi is pregnant?"
Everyone was also shocked, especially Ruyi, Luoying and other palace maids in Ning Yuxi's palace. They were worried when their master suddenly fainted, but they didn't expect that she was pregnant. It was really a happy event.
Only the Queen almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand when she heard that Concubine Yi was pregnant.
This bitch is so lucky. She already has two sons and a daughter, and she is pregnant again. If she gives birth to a prince this time, no one will be able to shake her position.
I'm afraid that the emperor will directly make her a noble concubine. The rank below the empress of this dynasty is a noble concubine, and her status is the same as that of the vice empress, which is extremely noble!
Thinking of this, the queen's eyes deepened slightly. No one could shake her position, either now or in the future!
The imperial physician replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is indeed pregnant, but..."
Hearing the imperial physician's words, the emperor hurriedly asked, "Just what?"
"It's just that the fetus in Concubine Yi's womb is a little unstable. She fainted just now because she was showing signs of miscarriage. I have already used acupuncture to save the dragon fetus, but the fetus is less than a month old and is at an unstable stage. She must be carefully cared for in the future."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qilan's expression darkened. "How could there be signs of miscarriage? Could it be something unclean?"
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not due to any external factors, but rather the fact that the dragon fetus in your womb is weak, and you didn't find it in time and take good care of it, so you're experiencing signs of miscarriage. But don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as you take good care of it in the future, there won't be any problems."
What the imperial physician didn't mention was that although there would be no impact after careful care, Concubine Yi was born weak, and the child would have a weaker foundation after birth. If born in a commoner's peasant family, it would probably not survive. However, as a son of the dragon and the phoenix, he was born with every skill and would be able to grow up safely.
The reason why he didn't say this was because the fetus was too small now. If it was taken good care of during the rest of the pregnancy, it would be a normal healthy baby when it was born.
After hearing the words of the imperial physician, Gu Qilan felt relieved. It was normal that Concubine Yi's pregnancy was not discovered in time before it was less than a month old. Hearing the apologies from the palace servants around Concubine Yi, Gu Qilan said in a deep voice: "I will not punish you this time. You should take good care of Concubine Yi in the future and your merits will atone for your sins."
Ruyi, Luoying and other palace servants quickly agreed and promised to take good care of their master.
Gu Qilan nodded slightly, looked at Concubine Yi who was still unconscious, asked the imperial physician to take good care of her, and then went back with the queen.
Ning Yuxi woke up soon after the emperor left. She opened her eyes in confusion and asked, "Uh...what's wrong with me?"
Ruyi and Luoying, who were standing by, saw this and asked excitedly, "Master, are you awake?"
Ning Yuxi saw Ruyi and Luoying surrounding the bed, and then she remembered that she seemed to be staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. Then she felt that her period was about to come, so Luoying advised her to lie down on the bed.
What happened next? I don’t remember much.
"Master, you scared us to death. You just fainted suddenly."
"What? Fainted?" Ning Yuxi was a little surprised.
No wonder she didn't remember what happened afterwards, but why did she faint? She was in excellent health after being well-nourished. Was it because of her period? No way.
Ruyi said with a happy face, "Yes, Master, you suddenly fainted just now, which scared us to death. But fortunately, the imperial physician diagnosed that you have a happy pulse and you are pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Ning Yuxi exclaimed in surprise, and then hurriedly put her right hand on her left hand to check her own pulse. After a moment, she cried out that it was indeed a pregnancy pulse.
For a moment, Ning Yuxi was a little amused and helpless. A few days ago, she didn't want to have a third child and hoped that the emperor was infertile. It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned her bad mouth, but once she mentioned it, she got pregnant.
But since she was pregnant, she would just give birth to the child well. There was no shortage of manpower or money, but she would have to suffer.
"etc…"
Ning Yuxi carefully felt the pulse again, but it felt unstable and a little weak.
Ning Yuxi carefully asked what the imperial physician said. When she learned that her baby was weak and needed careful care, Ning Yuxi couldn't help but frown slightly.
How could this happen? She is in good health. Is it the emperor's problem?
Thinking of the emperor's recent tired look, Ning Yuxi thought that the problem probably lay with the emperor, and she would take the emperor's pulse carefully when she had the chance.
Ning Yuxi gently stroked her belly. It was still a young age, and if she took good care of herself during pregnancy, there was still a chance to make up for it.
…
The emperor was very busy on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, and it was not until the third day that he had time to visit Ning Yuxi.
That day, the emperor came to accompany Ning Yuxi for lunch and then prepared to go back to handle state affairs, although the rule passed down from ancestors was to stop writing on the 27th day of the New Year and not to go to court to handle state affairs until the 4th day of the New Year.
But the emperor never obeyed this rule. He would always be busy until the 29th. He would have various ceremonies and banquets on the first and second days of the lunar year, and would start reviewing memorials and handling government affairs on the third day.
Ning Yuxi thought about taking the emperor's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, please take a nap here. Your Majesty has been working hard recently. I see that you have lost weight, and I can see the fatigue on your face. You must not have slept well."
Gu Qilan smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine..."
Before the emperor could finish, Ning Yuxi interrupted him: "Oh, Your Majesty, how can I feel at ease with you like this? Just go to sleep for a while, otherwise I will go and complain to the Queen Mother."
Having said that, Ning Yuxi turned her back and pretended to ignore the emperor.
Seeing this, Gu Qilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He gently held Ning Yuxi's shoulders and turned her over, then softened his voice and said, "Okay, okay, I promise you, I'll take a nap."
Ning Yuxi snorted softly: "That's right, go to sleep, Your Majesty, I will accompany you."
Finally, the emperor fell asleep. Ning Yuxi waited for a while, making sure that he was sound asleep. Then she gently stroked the emperor's wrist and began to take his pulse.
After a long time, Ning Yuxi withdrew her hand with a sullen face.
At first glance, the emperor's pulse seemed normal, even healthy. It was so healthy that Ning Yuxi could clearly see that the emperor had some mild symptoms but could not diagnose anything wrong from the pulse!
For example, the emperor has been staying up late recently, which is harmful to the liver. The emperor's dark circles, slightly yellow complexion, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. are all symptoms of liver problems.
But she couldn't diagnose the problem after taking the patient's pulse.
