Chapter 7: The Emperor Without Heirs VS the Beautiful Concubine (7)



"His Majesty--"

The imperial physician hurried over and saluted Dongfang Che as soon as he entered the door.

"No need to be so polite. Come quickly and let the imperial concubine see what's wrong with her." Dongfang Che waved his hand.

Wushuang leaned in Dongfang Che's arms and was unwilling to move.

Although Dongfang Che is the emperor and has a lot of things to do every day, he still takes out an hour to practice martial arts, so he is in very good shape.

Although the feeling of the layers of ancient costumes was not very clear, it was still quite comfortable to lean on Dongfang Che's arms, and Wushuang had no intention of leaving his arms.

Dongfang Che smelled pretty good, and she didn't really dislike it.

The imperial physician raised his head and looked at Wushuang in Dongfang Che's arms in surprise. He didn't expect that it was this imperial concubine.

The fact that the Prime Minister's daughter, Gu, was named a noble concubine as soon as she entered the palace had spread widely, and the imperial physician had of course heard about it.

He had also heard of the reputation of Concubine Gu's stunning beauty, but after seeing her in person he realized that the legend was not entirely accurate - Concubine Gu was even more beautiful than the rumors said.

The imperial physician came forward and saw that the imperial concubine was still leaning in the emperor's arms. He did not insist on asking her to come out. Instead, he took out a small pillow and placed it on the table, then began to take the imperial concubine's pulse.

Wushuang was of course very clear about what was wrong with her, so she was very calm when the imperial physician took her pulse.

Dongfang Che, Cao Fu and Qing He all looked at her worriedly, hoping that the imperial physician could figure out what was wrong with her.

The imperial physician looked a little strange after taking the pulse for a while, and after carefully confirming it, he was still not sure.

"Your Majesty, I am not very knowledgeable and am not sure what has happened to the imperial concubine." The imperial physician was a little worried that he had taken the pulse wrong.

His Majesty is almost thirty years old and none of his concubines has ever been pregnant. How could he be so lucky to make the new imperial concubine pregnant?

Even the imperial physician began to doubt himself.

Dongfang Che's expression was a little ugly. "Imperial Physician Shen, I know exactly how good your medical skills are. If you have any questions, why don't you just ask directly?"

"What happened to the imperial concubine?"

Doctor Shen is the imperial physician who has taken care of him for so many years. In addition to him, there are five other imperial physicians who are dedicated to taking his pulse and taking care of his body.

As the patient himself, he knows best how good their medical skills are.

Imperial Physician Shen said that he was not talented and knowledgeable enough, how could that be possible?

Seeing that Dongfang Che was unhappy, Imperial Physician Shen quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I... I am really not sure if my diagnosis is wrong... The Imperial Concubine..."

"The Imperial Concubine has a slippery pulse," said Imperial Physician Shen.

"Slippery pulse? What kind of slippery pulse makes you doubt your medical skills so much?" Dongfang Che didn't react to what slippery pulse meant.

Slippery pulse?

Cao Fu and Qing He, who were serving nearby, widened their eyes when they heard this, especially Cao Fu.

Although Cao Fu was Dongfang Che's personal eunuch and the chief eunuch, he was eight years older than Dongfang Che, so he had witnessed the concubines in the late emperor's harem becoming pregnant.

Of course he knew what slippery pulse was.

"Imperial Physician Shen, are you saying that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant? The Imperial Concubine is pregnant?" Cao Fu asked excitedly.

As a eunuch who had served Dongfang Che since childhood, Cao Fu certainly hoped very much that his majesty could have an heir.

Only with an heir can your Majesty have someone to inherit his kingdom.

What Your Majesty went through during the fight for the throne was so cruel.

If Your Majesty had no heir and was forced by the court officials to adopt the child of your former mortal enemy as your heir, wouldn't Your Majesty be sick to death?

Now Your Majesty finally has a successor!

Qinghe was also very excited.

Their queen is pregnant. This is His Majesty's first child. Whether it is a princess or a prince, he will definitely be favored.

Qinghe looked at Wushuang with excitement and admiration, and she knew that their queen was the best.

Others have been in the palace for many years and have no children, but their queen became pregnant as soon as she entered the palace.

Your Majesty is truly blessed.

Dongfang Che was stunned for a moment when he heard Cao Fu's words, then he came to his senses and looked down at Wushuang's innocent eyes. "Pregnant? My beloved, you are pregnant with my child?"

Wushuang smiled shyly at him and said, "I guess so?"

Wushuang reached out and touched her belly, saying with some longing, "I am pregnant with Your Majesty's child... Your Majesty, do you think the child will look like you or like me?"

Dongfang Che excitedly hugged the person in his arms, "My beloved! You are pregnant! You are carrying my child!"

"My beloved! We have a child! I have an heir!" Dongfang Che was extremely excited.

He has been on the throne for ten years, and it has been eleven or twelve years since he became knowledgeable about human affairs, but he still has no children.

Dongfang Che himself even doubted whether he was really infertile.

But there was no difference when he favored his concubines. He was still very good in sex.

He didn't know why he had no children.

He even doubted whether there was something wrong with him.

But now, his beloved concubine! His imperial concubine is pregnant!

"My beloved, you are truly a great hero!" Dongfang Che excitedly grabbed Wushuang and said, "My beloved, as long as you give birth to a prince, I will definitely make you queen."

Although he was excited, he had not really lost his mind.

The promise of making her queen was also because Wushuang's family background was sufficient, and it was natural for her to be made queen since she had a prince.

If Wushuang's family background was humble, it would be unlikely for him to impulsively promise her that she would be crowned queen if she gave birth to a son.

But who made her father the prime minister?

Moreover, her brothers are all very promising, and her family is powerful enough. Who would dare to interfere with her becoming the queen?

If anyone wanted to interfere with his decision to crown her queen, then let them find a woman who could bear him a child, and whose family background was as prominent as his beloved concubine's.

Wushuang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is what you said. If I really give birth to a prince, you must not break your promise."

She would not pretend to be virtuous and modest and refuse his promise to make her queen.

Only if she occupies the position of queen will she not bow to other women.

And since she became the queen, her child would be the legitimate son.

Although she knew that she was the only one who could give birth to Dongfang Che's child, she could not refuse the position of queen.

Dongfang Che laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will never break my promise."

"My beloved, please take good care of our child." Dongfang Che reached out and touched her belly.

After touching her belly, Dongfang Che turned around and said, "Go and ask Imperial Physician Zhao, Imperial Physician Zhang, and Imperial Physician Sun to come and check on the imperial concubine."

Imperial Physician Shen, who had just said that he was not very knowledgeable and asked other imperial physicians to come over to see him, said: "..."

Forget it, he knew that His Majesty was very excited, and even if he didn't comfort himself like this, what could he do to His Majesty?

That was the emperor. How could he, an imperial physician, complain that the emperor didn't trust him?

Anyway, Dongfang Che was so excited that he called all six of his imperial doctors to consult with Wushuang and finally confirmed that she was pregnant, just one month ago.

It happened just during the days when Wushuang entered the palace.
