Liu Rushi's throat rolled slightly, as if she had just found her voice, and she said with difficulty, "May I ask when was your last menstrual period, Your Majesty?"
Bai Susu felt much more at ease. It seemed that Doctor Liu had made the diagnosis. She thought for a moment and said softly, "It was at the beginning of last month."
It was the beginning of last month…and today is already late September.
Liu Rushi took a deep breath and, despite Emperor Xuan Jing's slightly dissatisfied expression, said, "Your Majesty, I have observed Concubine Zhen's pulse, and it seems to indicate pregnancy."
He swallowed, but ultimately didn't say it with certainty.
But as soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the room suddenly changed drastically. Bai Susu sat up slightly, looking very surprised: "What? I'm pregnant?"
Emperor Xuan Jing stood there in a daze, his mind suddenly went blank. He felt that all the sounds around him had faded away, and only the words "Empress Zhen seems to be pregnant!" echoed in his mind.
It wasn't until Bai Susu's surprised voice came that he came back to his senses.
Seeing Wang Fuhai's excited face, Emperor Xuan Jing's heart suddenly exploded with ecstasy, almost making him unable to stand.
The imperial physician said Su Su's pulse is pregnant! Pregnant!
She's pregnant with his child!
Emperor Xuan Jing's breathing became short, and a sour feeling welled up in his throat. He quickly stepped forward, holding Bai Susu in his arms. He turned his gaze towards Liu Rushi, and asked with a burning look, "Are you sure?"
Cold sweat dripped down Liu Rushi's forehead. "I am 80% sure. The dragon fetus is still young and its pulse is weak. If Your Majesty is worried, why not send for the Imperial Hospital's gynecologist to make a diagnosis together?"
The doctor who is best at gynecology in the Imperial Medical Bureau is Dr. Su. He is already quite old and has been serving the late emperor since the previous dynasty. He can be said to be highly respected.
However, since Emperor Xuan Jing ascended the throne, the presence of this imperial physician specializing in gynecology has been much lower. The reason is that pregnant concubines in the palace are really rare, and there is only one, Concubine Hui.
So he was not on duty at the Imperial Hospital today, but was resting at home. Emperor Xuan Jing directly sent the imperial guards to his house to take him away.
The imperial guard was also aloof and said, "The emperor has summoned the imperial physician Su to the palace to take the pulse of Concubine Zhen."
Almost as soon as Doctor Su put on his clothes, he was hurriedly dragged away by the imperial guards.
I originally thought that he would have to take a sedan chair to go to the palace, after all, he is so old.
Who knew that the Royal Guards would just pull him onto the horse!
The horses galloped at lightning speed all the way. By the time they arrived at the palace, Doctor Su was about to vomit. When he got off the horse, he felt dizzy and his legs were weak.
Hearing that the emperor was already waiting for him in the Yangxin Palace, he did not dare to delay. He took a few deep breaths and slowed down his breathing, then followed the imperial guards to the Yangxin Palace.
He couldn't lose his composure in front of the emperor, so when he met him, apart from his face being a little pale and his beard a little messy, there was nothing wrong with him.
There were already seven or eight imperial physicians standing in the Yangxin Palace, and even Director Shen of the Imperial Hospital was waiting nearby.
Imperial Physician Su was startled when he saw this, wondering if the Empress had contracted some serious illness that required such a serious complication.
The emperor sat on a round chair beside the bed. The imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital had just examined Su Su's pulse, and their diagnosis was exactly the same as that of Imperial Physician Liu.
Emperor Xuan Jing held Bai Susu's hand tightly, feeling so happy that he was frightened. When he thought he would never have children again, Susu gave him such a big surprise.
He even began to fear that all this was just a dream...
Only the soft and warm touch in his hand made his heart feel slightly at ease.
Imperial Physician Su saw that Emperor Xuan Jing looked normal, neither sad nor happy, but rather tense, as if harboring some emotion.
"Your humble servant pays his respects to His Majesty." He knelt down tremblingly. This scene made him feel very nervous and his voice was a little weak.
Emperor Xuan Jing waved his hand, speaking slightly faster than usual, his voice full of authority: "No need to be polite, come and take Concubine Zhen's pulse."
Doctor Su is the most expert in gynecology. As long as he confirms it again, it will be a done deal.
Imperial Physician Su hurried forward, feeling somewhat uneasy at the situation. He had heard that Concubine Zhen was a beauty of national beauty, the most favored of the imperial harem. If something happened to her, wouldn't the Emperor...
He wanted to find out some information, but Shen Yuanzheng avoided his gaze and showed no sign of it.
Doctor Su gritted his teeth in his heart, this old thing!
He didn't dare to think anymore, and tremblingly put his hand on Bai Susu's wrist. Through a layer of silk handkerchief, he could clearly feel that her pulse was smooth, like beads rolling on a plate, and very strong!
Like beads rolling on a plate! Clearly a slippery pulse!
Doctor Su’s eyes widened instantly. No wonder there were so many doctors. No wonder.
His fingers began to tremble violently. Emperor Xuan Jing looked at Doctor Su with a burning gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
Doctor Su was overjoyed, and his pale face turned red. With decades of medical practice, he knew that the baby was definitely pregnant, and there was no way he could be wrong!
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen is pregnant and has been pregnant for over a month!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone saw Emperor Xuan Jing's expression melt like spring water, as if the sun broke through the haze that covered the sky and suddenly enveloped the earth.
"The emperor is so happy!" Chen Yuanzheng knelt on the ground, almost in tears. This was the first time in six years since Princess Baohua that another noble lady in the palace was pregnant. If it was a prince, it would mean that the emperor's kingdom would have a successor. How could one not be excited!
When the imperial doctors saw Shen Yuanzheng like this, they all knelt on the ground, and the room was immediately filled with congratulations.
Doctor Su felt sick when he saw that old man Chen Yuanzheng reacted so quickly. Why didn't he shed a tear or something just now, letting this old man get the upper hand!
