"Your Majesty, rest assured. Your Majesty's life is safe for the time being."
Doctor Deng was so frightened that sweat dripped down his forehead, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.
The entire Yong'an Palace was silent, but beneath this silence, an invisible undercurrent was surging.
Xin Guoguo got bored of waiting and fell asleep early.
That heartless look made Xiaomaotuanzi proud for a moment, thinking that his brainwashing was so successful!
It seems that its host should not be in love anymore, right?
In a short while, most of the imperial doctors were urgently summoned.
With such a big commotion, all the palaces quickly got the news and waited anxiously, not knowing what they were waiting for.
The imperial doctors took the emperor's pulse one after another without saying a word. The emperor's face became more and more gloomy, and he already wanted to cut Concubine Shu into pieces in his heart.
But there is more panic.
Unlike the worry he had a month ago, this time he clearly felt the importance of the little girl to him.
That time, he was more worried about losing this person.
And this time, he wished he could take his place.
He even thought that if anything happened to the little girl, he would adopt her without hesitation and choose an heir to go with her.
"Master Yuanzheng, have you seen it?"
Several imperial doctors gathered together, looking at each other, but no one was willing to speak first.
The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau is an old and experienced man.
After looking around, he smiled and said, "It seems that we all came to the same conclusion!"
"But when I took your Majesty's pulse earlier, your condition didn't improve!"
The other imperial physician still had some self-doubt.
The dean stroked his beard, with an unfathomable look on his face:
"Perhaps Concubine Guo is simply a woman with a fertile constitution. Who knows?"
Several imperial doctors looked around but could not find any other explanation.
"In that case, shall we tell His Majesty this?"
Doctor Deng hesitated.
"Besides, the queen has been poisoned now, and I'm afraid that the child..." may not be able to be saved.
The dean sighed, feeling somewhat helpless:
"Tell the truth, Your Majesty! The decision is not something you or I can shoulder."
Everyone was silent.
It should have been a happy event.
If it were under normal circumstances, Your Majesty would definitely be happy.
But now that I have just learned about the existence of this child, I may face the possibility of losing him. Even an ordinary person cannot accept it!
What's more, Your Majesty has difficulty in having children.
This child can be regarded as His Majesty's only offspring now!
The dean sighed and said that he had to talk about this matter.
He turned around, but was grabbed by Doctor Deng.
Then, Doctor Deng strode over to the emperor and knelt down:
"Your Majesty, we have reached a conclusion."
"how?"
The emperor held the little girl's pale hand, and at this moment, his mood had calmed down a lot.
He had already prepared for the worst.
"The Queen was poisoned by a ruthless poison called 'Beauty Face'. It took seven days from the time she was poisoned to the time the poison took effect.
"For the first three days, the poisoned person will become increasingly beautiful, reaching extreme beauty. From the fourth day onward, their face will gradually fester. On the last day, they will die.
"However, Your Majesty is now pregnant, and the child has absorbed most of the poison. Your Majesty is fine for now. But when the day comes for the birth, both mother and child will surely die!"
"Guoguo is pregnant?"
The emperor subconsciously looked at the little girl's belly.
But he didn't even have time to be happy, as the four words "both mother and child are dead" from Doctor Deng made his heart shrink and the pain made him almost unable to breathe.
He didn't understand why God treated him like this?
He had just lost one child, and now he was going to lose his second?!
He just had a little girl in his heart, was he going to take her away so soon?
He was apprehensive. If it was because he had killed too many people, then retribution should fall on him, so why should his wife and children be implicated?!
"Guoguo..."
He lowered his eyes to look at the pale little girl, his eyes reddened.
"Is there any cure?"
Doctor Deng remained silent.
If they had, they wouldn't be so troubled.
The emperor closed his eyes, trying to suppress the moisture in his eyes: "How long has Guoguo been pregnant?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen is already one month pregnant."
There was a silence.
"For the remaining time, I want you to do your utmost to protect Concubine Guo's life, no matter what. Do you understand?"
The emperor suddenly stared at him sternly.
Doctor Deng's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little bit unbelievable.
But His Majesty's gaze was firm, and deep within it, there seemed to be a hint of madness.
Doctor Deng hurriedly bowed his head: "Your Majesty...understand!"
He was more surprised. Did His Majesty really love Concubine Guo so much? Even without the child...
Never mind, that's not what he should think about.
"Yes! You will live in Yong'an Palace from now on until Concubine Guo gives birth. The entire Imperial Hospital will provide full assistance, and medicines will be supplied to Yong'an Palace first!"
Doctor Deng was terrified, but he had no choice but to accept the order.
The director of the Imperial Hospital followed suit.
"San Shunzi!" After the imperial doctors left, the emperor raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
San Shunzi came over and tried to give the emperor a head massage, but was stopped:
"No need for that. You go there yourself and seal off Yuxiu Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission. But don't let anyone bully Concubine Shu. I'll deal with Guoguo after she gives birth!"
San Shunzi has always understood the emperor best.
It is because I understand him that I feel even more sorry for him now.
He had guessed something in his heart and nodded while holding back his tears:
