"Imperial Physician, what happened to the Queen Mother?"
It didn't take long for Yuzhu to call the imperial physician.
The imperial physician was still taking Li Xia's pulse when Fuling couldn't wait to ask.
Her brows were furrowed, and her worry was obvious.
Yuzhu was also worried about Li Xia's health.
But she was usually rational and was not as anxious as Fuling.
Instead, she persuaded Fuling: "Fuling, let's not talk, so as not to affect the imperial physician's judgment."
"Oh, I see."
Fuling pursed her lips.
"How is that possible?"
Before taking Li Xia's pulse, the imperial physician placed a silk handkerchief on her wrist.
As soon as he put his hand on it, his eyes suddenly widened.
He looked at Li Xia, then at her slender white wrist.
Did I take the wrong pulse?
The imperial physician began to doubt himself.
Although he has only been practicing medicine for a few decades, his medical skills have always been superb.
What’s more, it is the simplest pulse taking.
There's no way he couldn't be sure of that.
But that's where the problem lies.
If I were to tell others about the pulse condition I had taken, it would probably cause a huge uproar.
"Imperial Physician, how is my queen?"
"Yes, Imperial Physician, what happened to the Empress?"
When Fuling and Yuzhu saw the change in the imperial physician's face, their hearts rose to their throats and they opened their mouths to ask questions.
Looking at the imperial physician's expression, the two of them had uncontrollable thoughts in their minds.
Could it be that the Queen has some incurable disease?
Fuling and Yuzhu looked at each other.
"The Queen Mother is..."
The imperial physician moved his lips, swallowed, and seemed to be about to speak.
Li Xia naturally knew what the imperial physician had found out from taking her pulse.
But looking at him like this, he probably doesn't dare to say it.
"Doctor, please feel free to speak." Li Xia said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."
When the imperial physician heard what Li Xia said, he did not dare to hide it.
"My queen, you are... pregnant." He hesitated, and finally said it.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"Doctor, please say it again!"
Three simultaneous voices were heard in the bedroom.
Dongfang Xunyi appeared in Li Xia's bedroom at some point in time.
He has been busy with trivial matters these days.
Although he had not looked for Li Xia in the future, Dongfang Xunyi knew everything about her, including her daily movements.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known if Li Xia had a headache or fever.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty."
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."
When the people in the bedroom saw Dongfang Xunyi, they immediately knelt down and saluted.
The imperial physician was so frightened that he couldn't even straighten his tongue.
I don't do anything immoral on a daily basis.
Why am I so unlucky?
It would have been bad enough if the diagnosis had revealed that the Empress Dowager was pregnant, but the Emperor happened to hear it.
this……
He felt that he was extremely unlucky.
Dongfang Xunyi stepped in quickly and said, "No need to be polite, but please stand up."
He cast his gaze upon the imperial physician's face.
"Imperial Physician, what did you just say? The Queen Mother is pregnant?!"
Dongfang Xunyi's tone was a little anxious.
"thump--"
The imperial physician shuddered when he heard this, and knelt on the ground with trembling legs.
When the late emperor was alive, the entire Imperial Medical Bureau was mobilized to treat him. Many precious medicines were used and all conceivable methods were tried. However, for many years, there was no news of any concubine in the harem being pregnant.
The Queen Mother and the late Emperor were married for only one day.
I didn't expect that the queen was pregnant.
The imperial physician had a bold suspicion in his heart.
But now the late emperor is gone.
There is no doubt or evidence.
As he valued his life, he naturally didn't dare to speak carelessly.
When Li Xia saw Dongfang Xunyi coming towards her, she blinked and her eyebrows flickered.
This was not the order she had planned.
His arrival disrupted all his planned steps.
Dongfang Xunyi walked past the imperial physician without even glancing at him, and went straight to Li Xia's side.
"you……"
"Your Majesty, why did you come to see me?"
Dongfang Xunyi had just moved his lower lip when Li Xia interrupted him.
She raised her chin, tilted her head, and stared at Dongfang Xunyi's narrow black eyes with her peach blossom eyes. Her brows slightly frowned, and her face showed a warning.
Li Xia deliberately emphasized the word "Ai" in her words.
The purpose is to remind Dongfang Xunyi of her identity.
Their identities.
As expected.
After seeing Li Xia secretly shaking his head, Dongfang Xunyi suddenly paused and stopped where he was, not moving forward.
His eyes flickered and his thin lips slightly opened.
Dongfang Xunyi seemed to want to say something, but in the end he did not respond to Li Xia.
He turned around and looked at the imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"Imperial Physician, please stand up and answer me." Dongfang Xunyi said in a low voice.
His breathtakingly handsome face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The doctor swallowed and said, "Yes... yes."
His voice was trembling.
The imperial physician stood up cautiously, with his head lowered, not daring to meet Dongfang Xunyi's gaze.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's pulse is indeed somewhat similar to that of a pregnant woman, but I dare not conclude that the Empress Dowager is pregnant. In the past, my predecessors have found false pregnancies in concubines with the same pulse. Therefore, I cannot tell which case the Empress Dowager is in, and I cannot rule out the phenomenon of false pregnancy."
