Chapter 1460 "Pulse"
On the other side, in Jianfu Palace, it was so quiet that not even the sound of the wind could be heard.
Everyone held their breath and stared with wide eyes at Doctor Wang, who was sitting in the middle of the room and stretched out his hand to feel Concubine Ning's pulse, and Concubine Ning Feng Qianyan, who stretched out her hand for Doctor Wang to feel her pulse.
Time passes by little by little.
Wu Wan's brows tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, and she almost couldn't hold back and stepped forward several times.
It was Gao Yurong who stopped her.
She shook her head gently at Wu Wan, signaling her to be patient. Wu Wan could only grit her teeth, suppress the throbbing in her heart, and wait quietly.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but it was already far longer than the time the imperial physician usually took the concubine’s pulse.
The queen sitting on the side couldn't help but frown.
She uttered a soft "hmm".
At this time, Wang Baizhi finally took a long breath and withdrew her hand. Everyone immediately stood up and stepped forward.
Xu Miaoyin also said: "How?"
“…”
Wang Baizhi did not speak immediately, but looked at Feng Qianyan again, and saw that Concubine Ning slowly wiped down her sleeves, took the teacup offered by the palace maid next to her, and took a sip gently.
From beginning to end, she didn't even look at him.
Wang Baizhi stood up and bowed to the Queen, saying, "In reply to the Queen, Concubine Ning's pulse...is normal."
"What?!"
This time, it was not the queen who spoke, but several concubines around her.
As soon as they said this, they seemed to regret their gaffe, and hurriedly lowered their heads and covered their mouths with their hands.
Feng Qianyan held the teacup in her hand and glanced at them. The cup lid covered the sneer at the corner of her mouth, and she continued to drink tea calmly.
Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly, then said, "Are you sure?"
Wang Baizhi looked back at Concubine Ning again, her eyes complicated as she paused for a moment, then she said to the Queen, "Yes, Concubine Ning's pulse is normal, and there is nothing wrong with the fetus."
"That's good, then."
A smile appeared on Xu Miaoyin's face and she nodded slightly.
The concubines around looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
Before, when Qin Ruolan caused that incident, everyone guessed that there must be something wrong with Concubine Ning, but she just covered it up. This time, when Doctor Shao was injured, everyone thought that the people in the Imperial Hospital would definitely find some problem with her.
As a result, Wang Baizhi came but still could not diagnose any abnormalities.
Could it be that she is really safe and sound?
Concubine Hui Wu Wan looked back at Gao Yurong, and Gao Yurong's eyes also showed a puzzled expression, but she was calm after all and didn't say anything from beginning to end.
At this time, Concubine Ning put down her teacup, raised her head, and said with a smile to the complicated expressions and eyes around her, "Thank you all for your concern, sisters. I am fine for the time being."
Xu Miaoyin said, "I'm glad you're okay."
“…”
"Next, you should take good care of yourself."
"I understand."
After saying this, Xu Miaoyin also stood up, glanced at Wu Wan and the others, and then said, "Do you want to stay and talk to Concubine Ning for a while?"
Wu Wan stood up with an embarrassed look on her face and said with an apologetic smile, "We are worried about Concubine Ning and came to see her, but she deserves a good rest after all, so we won't disturb her here."
"That's right. Come back with me."
"yes."
The group then followed the queen out of Jianfu Palace.
After they all left, Hanxiang immediately rushed forward and closed the door. When she turned around, she saw Feng Qianyan sitting back in the chair. In an instant, cold sweat broke out from her forehead like a tide, dripping down drop by drop.
"My lady, are you okay?"
"No, nothing."
Feng Qianyan reached out and pushed her hand away, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was just worried that I would be exposed."
Hearing her say this, Hanxiang and the others looked at each other.
They were all sweating profusely.
"Don't mention your Majesty, I'm also scared, afraid that Wang Baizhi will see something."
Xiao Duozi came up and said, "Fortunately, we were prepared this time."
"yes."
As Hanxiang spoke, she brewed another cup of hot tea and handed it to her, saying, "I didn't expect Doctor Shao's medicine to be so effective."
"Um."
Feng Qianyan drank her tea and nodded.
Yesterday, she had Xiao Duozi go to Shao Ren's residence, and when he returned, he brought back a box filled with vermilion pills. Shao Ren said he had already prepared these pills, just in case. If another doctor from the Imperial Hospital were to take Concubine Ning's pulse, they only needed to take this medicine a quarter of an hour beforehand to improve her pulse.
So just now, Wang Baizhi took longer than usual to diagnose the patient's pulse, but couldn't detect any movement.
Thanks to Shao Ren!
Hanxiang said, "Now, Your Majesty can finally rest easy."
"sit back and relax?"
When Feng Qianyan said these four words, she breathed a sigh of relief but it came back to her.
She said with a sullen face, "Right now, I can't rest easy."
“…”
"Even if I can deal with Wang Baizhi, but - if no one helps me to induce labor and preserve the fetus, I won't be able to rest easy if this baby can't be delivered smoothly!"
Hearing her say this, Hanxiang and Xiao Duozi looked at each other and lowered their heads.
Indeed, the problem is only half solved.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Jianfu Palace became depressing again, and everyone was worried.
Just then, someone knocked on the door gently.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Duozi hurried over. It turned out to be the eunuch guarding the gate of Jianfu Palace. He said to them, "Greetings to Consort Ning, the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital is here."
"What?"
They were stunned for a moment, and Hanxiang immediately said, "Didn't you just leave? Why are you here again?"
Xiao Duozi said, "I will go out and take a look."
After saying that, he ran out.
After a while, he came in with a young imperial physician. The physician bowed respectfully to Feng Qianyan and said, "Your humble servant, Han Guangqi, pays respects to the Empress Ning."
"you--"
Feng Qianyan frowned and was about to say something when Han Guangqi lowered his head and said, "I am a disciple of Imperial Physician Shao and the current Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital. I have come to take the pulse of Concubine Ning."
He lowered his voice especially when he said the words "Please take my pulse".
Feng Qianyan immediately understood.
"Are you the disciple of Doctor Shao?"
"Exactly."
"Then, Doctor Shao instructed—"
"I know this very well."
"That's good!"
Feng Qianyan's face suddenly showed a smile, and she immediately said: "But, the Queen and the others just left, why did you come here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by them?"
Han Guangqi smiled and said, "That's why no one can find out."
