Since he was not seriously injured, there was no need to worry. Gu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Dehai.
Li Dehai understood and went to call other imperial doctors.
No one in the tent dared to breathe loudly for a moment.
Gu Jingyan sat on the edge of the bed, held Li Shushu's hand, his eyes fixed on her delicate and pale little face without blinking, unwilling to move even a little.
Gu Jingheng followed behind the crowd. Although he didn't dare to step forward, his face was full of anxiety.
The Queen Mother stared at her two sons, feeling extremely sad and angry.
What sin has she committed? Not only did her two sons not give her a good grandson, but they also fell in love with a lowly woman at the same time. What should she do if they become enemies in the future?
No, it seems that this woman cannot be kept no matter what.
Even if it meant breaking up the relationship between mother and son, she would find a way to get rid of her.
The emperor was furious and invited wave after wave of imperial physicians, which caused quite a commotion and naturally alarmed Li Xiaodie, who was always paying attention to Li Shushu.
She dressed up specially and came to the emperor's tent, hiding at the back and secretly watching the excitement.
Seeing the imperial physician's embarrassment, she secretly rejoiced: "Hehe, God is truly merciful. It would be better if this bitch died like this."
Soon, three more imperial physicians followed Li Dehai in. These should be all the imperial physicians who accompanied the emperor to the enclosure.
There were several imperial physicians, some old and some young, and each had different specialties.
Only after they took their pulses one by one, they all showed the same puzzled expression on their faces.
They looked at the emperor, then at Li Shushu, then at Li Shushu, and then at the emperor again. Their faces showed various expressions, but they all did not dare to speak out their diagnosis.
Doctor Lin was the one with the highest status among them. He looked at everyone's reactions and became more certain of his own judgment.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please allow us to go outside to discuss it before giving you a reply." Doctor Lin said.
Gu Jingyan didn't know what to say after hearing this, so he just waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, I must get your answer as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Doctor Lin answered respectfully and led several other doctors out of the tent.
Several imperial doctors discussed in whispers outside the tent for a long time.
The focus of the discussion among them was whether Li Shushu was pregnant and when she became pregnant.
As to whether she was pregnant, they just looked at each other's faces and basically agreed that she was indeed pregnant.
The reason why no one dared to report directly to His Majesty was because...
There has been no news of a woman being pregnant in the palace for many years.
And then suddenly there came a...
When Miss Li saw how nervous the Emperor was towards her, she knew that they had a special relationship.
But..., she is pregnant now...
If they were to say that it was His Majesty's child, they would find it hard to believe, after all, His Majesty had been infertile for a long time.
Although Imperial Physician Lin took the Emperor's pulse every day, he could not find any infertility problem.
But the fact is, there are so many concubines in the palace, and more than ten years have passed, but no prince or princess has been born.
Facts speak louder than words. Even though they didn't believe that the Emperor was ill, they had no choice but to believe it.
The inability to diagnose the cause may simply be because my medical skills are not up to par yet.
But, what if the fetus in Miss Li’s belly is not His Majesty’s...?
They rashly spread such news...
Wouldn't that cause landslides and tsunamis?
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
If this angers His Majesty, the lives of everyone present will be in danger!
It’s difficult, really difficult!
I’m afraid, really afraid!
After some evasion, they finally decided to let Doctor Lin report the situation.
After all, this was his job in the beginning, and the others were just dragged into this pit by him.
Doctor Lin had no choice but to force the issue and timidly led the way into the tent again.
"Your Majesty, after much discussion, we have reached a consensus that Miss Li is pregnant..."
As Doctor Lin spoke, he glanced secretly at the emperor.
He was so frightened that his voice was trembling and his throat became hoarse.
"What?" Gu Jingyan was so shocked that he stood up from the bed.
I was stunned for a moment and forgot what to do next.
Gu Jingheng was so shocked that he took two steps back with a look of complete despair on his face.
Those imperial physicians, perhaps having guessed that His Majesty would have such a reaction, were not overly surprised. They simply shrank back slightly, prostrating themselves on the ground, not daring to move, just waiting for the wrathful thunder from above, which they didn't know when it would come down.
It was the Queen Mother and Yan Yuyan who reacted first.
"What?" The Queen Mother was so angry that she shook her head and pointed in Li Shushu's direction with a shaking finger. "A palace maid dared to commit adultery in the palace and even got pregnant. This is outrageous! How can this be tolerated? How can this be tolerated!
This is unbearable! Come, take this bitch away and torture her severely. Make sure to find the adulterer and chop off their heads together. I want to make an example of this to the harem and see who dares to do it again!"
Gu Jingyan only reacted after someone had already stepped forward.
"Stop, stop, stop, mother, mother, please take a rest first!" Gu Jingyan came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts.
"Doctor Lin, are you sure Shu'er is really pregnant?" Gu Jingyan confirmed again with a rare cautious expression.
"Yes, this is the unanimous conclusion reached by several humble servants after taking your pulse."
Doctor Lin was afraid that the emperor would single him out for punishment, so he always deliberately dragged everyone into the case.
