Chapter 330 Pregnant Again
Nanny Qin was not at ease. Seeing that her master was determined not to call the imperial physician, she turned around and went out to call in Shaoyao, who knew some medical knowledge.
"Master, how about we let Shaoyao take your pulse?" Nanny Qin asked eagerly.
Wen Li'er nodded when she heard that.
Shaoyao respectfully placed a pillow under Wen Lier's wrist, stretched out three fingers, held her breath and concentrated on taking the pulse.
She examined the patient very seriously, but her brows were getting tighter and tighter. She pressed her fingers lightly and then hard, repeatedly savoring the subtle pulse.
Time passed little by little, and the hall was so quiet that only the ticking of the night watch could be heard.
Shaoyao's expression became more confused and hesitant.
After a while, just when Wen Li'er herself began to suspect that she had really hurt herself by worrying too much, Shaoyao finally withdrew her hand hesitantly.
She raised her eyes to look at Wen Li'er, and said cautiously with great uncertainty:
"Your Majesty, this pulse... sounds like a pregnancy pulse. But the slippery feeling is very weak, almost imperceptible... I dare not make any rash conclusions, fearing that it may harm Your Majesty's health. How about... asking the imperial physician to take a look?"
When the master was pregnant twice before, Shaoyao also took her pulse and confirmed that it was a pregnancy pulse.
But this time the month seemed a little short, and she wasn't sure.
Wen Li'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
Is she pregnant again?
Although Wen Li'er is not a doctor, she knows that when a woman is just pregnant, if the month is too early, the pulse is often difficult to diagnose clearly, unless she is a doctor with excellent medical skills.
Then I think about the fatigue, lethargy, anorexia, mood swings, and occasional chest tightness and nausea I've been experiencing these past few days...
All the signs seem to be consistent with the symptoms of early pregnancy.
Wen Li'er subconsciously touched her still flat and soft belly.
Here, a new life may be quietly nurturing.
She didn't dare to be negligent again.
"Madam Qin, have someone call for Doctor Wu. Go now."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Nanny Qin responded quickly, walked out of the palace briskly, and arranged for Wanquan to personally invite Doctor Wu.
The Imperial Hospital was exceptionally quiet at this moment.
Since the main force of the Imperial Medical Service was transferred to Zhennan Pass, only three imperial physicians remained.
Two of them stayed behind because they were too old to travel long distances.
The other one is the imperial physician Wu Junnian.
It stands to reason that when the plague hit Fuzhou a few years ago, Wu Junnian accompanied the emperor to the epidemic area and made great contributions to the treatment of the disease.
The epidemic in Zhennan Pass is serious this time, so he should be sent along.
But over the years, he has been responsible for keeping Wen Li'er and the children safe.
Yan Shixu was worried that changing the imperial physician would not be as careful as Wu Junnian.
In addition, Nangong Ziyun and Nangong Mu went to Zhennan Pass.
That's why Yan Shixu deliberately kept him.
The three imperial physicians were responsible for taking pulses both inside and outside the palace.
Although there are not many masters in the palace, there are often urgent requests from the royal relatives, noble ministers and their residences outside the palace.
Most of those mansions had their own doctors, but when the masters were particularly concerned about their lives or the doctors were helpless, they would always want to ask the imperial physician for help.
This meant that the three imperial physicians had to take turns running around outside, with little chance for rest.
Even so, the Imperial Hospital always adheres to one iron rule:
No matter how busy he was, he had to ensure that at least one imperial physician remained on duty in the courtyard to deal with emergencies of the masters in the palace.
After all, compared with the nobles in the palace, everyone else needs to give way for the time being.
And the person on duty today is Wu Junnian.
He had just sent away a steward from the royal family who came to seek medical treatment for the old lady in his family, and was about to sit down to drink some tea to moisten his dry throat, when he saw Wan Quan, the eunuch beside the imperial concubine, rushing in hurriedly with obvious anxiety on his face.
"Doctor Wu!"
Wan Quan hurriedly bowed and said, "The Imperial Concubine has been listless these past few days, has lost her appetite, and looks very haggard. Please follow me to the Bixi Palace to see her."
When Wu Junnian heard this, his face became serious. Without saying a word, he immediately picked up the medicine beside him and went out.
On the way, Wu Junnian carefully inquired, "When did these symptoms begin, Madam? Why didn't you come earlier?"
Wan Quan explained in a low voice as he walked, "It's been about five or six days. The Empress just said it was hot and she was lazy. She also sympathized with the hard work of Doctor Wu and the two old doctors, so she didn't send the servants to bring the message. Today, the nanny thought it was really inappropriate, so..."
When Wu Junnian heard this, he was both moved and frightened, and his pace quickened a lot.
When they arrived at the Bixi Palace, Wu Junnian bowed respectfully and then concentrated on taking Wen Lier's pulse.
He made a very thorough diagnosis and asked about the subtle details of Wen Lier's physical symptoms.
After a long time, Wu Junnian withdrew his hand, a gratified and respectful smile on his face.
He took a step back and bowed deeply.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your pulse is undoubtedly a pregnancy pulse. Although it is a little weak, it is because it is only a little over a month old, and Your Majesty is worried, tired, and slightly deficient in Qi and blood."
After saying that, he met Wen Li'er's nervous and worried eyes.
Wu Junnian said hurriedly, "But the Empress's foundation is solid, so there's nothing serious. I will prescribe a few gentle, nourishing prescriptions for the Empress to strengthen her body and stabilize the pregnancy. The Empress must rest and recuperate, relax, and adjust her diet slightly, and the dragon fetus will surely thrive."
Wen Li'er's heart finally settled down and a happy smile appeared on her face.
It turned out to be a pregnancy pulse.
She subconsciously and with infinite tenderness touched her still flat belly. Here... after he left, a new life had quietly been born.
One month...
Wen Li'er was counting the days silently in her mind, and a beautiful picture suddenly jumped into her mind.
It was the eve of his departure for the battle, and she was reluctant to let him go, so she offered him a kiss.
Although he still had to meet with the minister, he was so aroused by her that he could no longer control himself and hurriedly took her. With an eagerness and deep power that almost broke her soul...
Thinking of that indescribable scene, two red clouds suddenly appeared on Wen Li'er's cheeks, burning all the way to her ears.
She subconsciously raised her hand and gently patted her hot cheeks with her slightly cool fingertips, trying to dispel the embarrassing and frustrating feeling.
