"It's just that the injury on Her Majesty's head is a bit troublesome. We can't use any medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, otherwise it could cause miscarriage or even fetal distress."
However, you can use ice packs. Apply ice for 15 minutes each day to reduce swelling. After the swelling subsides, have the doctor gently massage the area daily to disperse the blood stasis and restore it to its original state.
After Physician Zhang finished his treatment, he knelt down again, awaiting the Emperor's command.
He thought to himself, "This reply has been detailed enough, hasn't it?"
There are some things that are not easy to say in person. I'll wait until the Crown Prince and Crown Princess leave before I report to the Emperor.
Well, when serving the emperor, one should know exactly whose side one is on.
Covering up the Crown Princess's lie was his principle as a court physician, but telling the Emperor the truth after they left was how he saved his life.
"Your Majesty, I will immediately prescribe medicine to prevent miscarriage for the Crown Princess, but you will have to wait a little while. Today is also the day I will examine Your Majesty's pulse."
Sure enough, Sheng Jin immediately understood what Zhang Wen meant; she had something to say to him.
"Yes, Your Highness, please take the Crown Princess to the West Warm Pavilion to rest. The West Warm Pavilion should already be ready. Zhang Wen, please go and see if there is anything wrong. We will return to report later."
After a moment's thought, Sheng Jin decided not to delay any longer. He had already seen the person he wanted to see today, and he should not be greedy anymore.
However, he was still somewhat disappointed that he did not receive even a moment of favor from the Crown Princess.
Alas, who knows when I'll finally get even a fleeting glance from the Crown Princess?
Sheng Jin was filled with emotion, but the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were overjoyed to hear the order.
Crown Prince Sheng Changfeng and Liu Lingxi exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of joy in each other's eyes.
Liu Lingxi, who had just come back to her senses after being immersed in joy, meowed.
Is there really such a good thing?
The imperial physician didn't expose me. Wait, could I really have unstable fetal breathing? How could Imperial Physician Zhang lie to the Emperor?
Why?
wrong!
etc!
How could Physician Zhang possibly side with me? So what he said is very likely to be true!
Liu Lingxi shuddered, all her joy vanished, and her face turned pale.
Is my child destined for a life of hardship?
Thinking of this, Liu Lingxi nervously grabbed the only support beside her, grasping the Crown Prince's large hand.
"Your Highness, what if something really happened to our child? It's all my fault for causing all this trouble..."
Seeing that the Crown Princess seemed frightened by his words, Imperial Physician Zhang realized that he had almost caused a disaster and quickly tried to comfort her.
"Your Highness, please do not worry too much. You only need to focus on your pregnancy and not overthink things. Your grandson will be safe and sound. I can guarantee it with my life."
"That's good, thank you very much, Physician Zhang."
Liu Lingxi calmed down a bit and thanked the imperial physician.
But to her surprise, she saw Physician Zhang wink at her, as if to say—
Your Majesty, please don't worry. I'm just following your advice.
?
Liu Lingxi was stunned.
Just as Liu Lingxi was in a daze, even somewhat at a loss, the Crown Prince had already taken action.
The Crown Prince was the first to kneel and pay his respects, then looked up at the Emperor with a clear look of worry on his face.
"Father, Your Majesty, it is truly an honor for your son and the Crown Princess to receive such care from you. However, the Crown Princess's pregnancy is currently unstable. Could you excuse her from all the greetings?"
This wasn't what he originally wanted to ask for today, but since he'd been given this opportunity, he naturally had to say it.
It's important to know that the Empress and her own Crown Princess have always been at odds, and it would be all too easy for someone to plot against her during the greetings.
Incense, teacups, oil smeared on the road, or some inconsiderate person bumping into you...
Even the Crown Prince dared not imagine what a blow it would be to them if Xi'er were to be assassinated during her pregnancy!
Sheng Jin was initially somewhat annoyed by the Crown Prince, since he always seemed to intentionally or unintentionally display his affection for the Crown Princess in front of her.
But now it seems that the Crown Prince is not entirely blinded by love; he is also thinking of ways to bring some benefits to the Crown Princess.
In this way, one will have a reason to bestow blessings.
"Yes, Your Highness is right. Since the Crown Princess needs to rest in bed, she shall be exempted from paying her respects at Fengyi Palace and shall be granted the special privilege of not bowing to anyone."
After Sheng Jin finished speaking, he stared intently at the Crown Princess, wanting to see how she would react.
Is it happiness, joy, gratitude... or a change in self-perception?
As Sheng Jin had expected, Liu Lingxi was indeed full of surprise, her fair face filled with confusion.
She parted her lips slightly, revealing her pearly white teeth, and her large eyes sparkled with a hint of moisture, shining like pearls.
Because of her past life, Liu Lingxi was always afraid of Sheng Jin, and in this life, his gaze was always too intense.
Therefore, Liu Lingxi had never dared to look Sheng Jin in the eye, always worried that he might do something to her.
It seems that the Emperor... is surprisingly easy to talk to in some ways.
Thinking this, she raised her head and looked over curiously.
Those eyes, as if washed by rain, became exceptionally attractive after shedding their initial unease, drawing the other person in to explore them further.
The two accidentally made eye contact, and Liu Lingxi quickly looked away.
She assumed it was an accident and lowered her head, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembling slightly.
And opposite her—
Sheng Jin felt as if he had been brought back to life just from a single glance from the woman.
He was acutely aware that he was truly beyond saving.
Even though the woman didn't do anything extra, just a light glance from her, he was able to forget all his previous unpleasantness and only feel joy.
Forget it, if it's hopeless, it's hopeless.
Being able to see her every day now is already a very good outcome.
"Your subject thanks Your Majesty. Your subject takes his leave."
Sheng Jin, who only had eyes for Liu Lingxi, did not notice that the Crown Prince, who had taken in all their interactions, was already harboring a dark storm in his eyes.
Those violent, jealous, and sinister thoughts all surfaced in his eyes; anyone who saw them would be terrified.
However, it only lasted a moment before the Crown Prince quickly composed himself and regained his gentle demeanor.
Before they could have any further contact, Sheng Changfeng took the initiative, picked up his Crown Princess in his arms, and strode away.
Physician Zhang, being quite perceptive, bowed and withdrew, completely ignoring the subtle commotion among the group.
To survive in the palace, the less you know, the better. Being blind and deaf isn't so bad.
"Make sure there is nothing unusual in the West Warm Pavilion. If anything is found that could harm the Crown Princess, I will not let you off the hook."
Just as Zhang Wen was about to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Sheng Jin's threatening voice rang out, startling Zhang Wen.
"Of course, Your Majesty can rest assured."
