Chapter 276 Jiang Fenghua seemed to know the secret in her belly.
"Let's have the imperial physician examine you!" Jiang Fenghua insisted. "I am not only responsible for you, but also for the health of the child in your womb. You should know that the Crown Prince and the Emperor value the child in your womb very much."
Ye Susu's fingers, hidden in her sleeve, clenched slightly. "Yes."
Soon, Physician Mei was also summoned. After taking her pulse, he said, "Your Highness's pulse is somewhat irregular..."
"Since I became pregnant, I've had a poor appetite, vomited a lot, and can't eat anything." She knew that there was a difference in the pulse between a three-month pregnant belly and a two-month pregnant belly, but the difference wasn't significant, and she could easily get away with it by adjusting her diet.
Physician Mei nodded. "In early pregnancy, severe morning sickness can indeed affect the pulse. Your Highness's body is weak. If you continue to be unable to eat, it will affect the baby's development and may even lead to miscarriage. In any case, you must eat even if you can't eat."
"Yes, I will try my best in the future," Ye Susu replied obediently.
Jiang Fenghua doesn't know anything about medicine, but she has been pregnant before. Based on the time when Ye Susu and Xie Shang had sex, the child's birth date shouldn't be too far off. Ye Susu's nervousness is obviously suspicious, and it seems the truth is not far from her guess.
If it really was that time, then the babies in Ye Susu's belly were a full month apart. This means that she had her period once after Xie Shang got together with her. If she really had her period, Baolan and Qingzhu would definitely have reported it to the head nanny in the mansion.
She said, "I didn't take care of Consort Ye during my postpartum period, which was my mistake. From now on, I will instruct the kitchen to prepare special meals for Consort Ye so that she can take good care of her health and give birth to the child safely."
"I will prescribe a remedy for Consort Ye to help her recover," said Imperial Physician Mei.
Jiang Fenghua asked, "What if she still vomits?" Would Ye Susu use this to avoid eating, so that when the time comes, the baby's belly will be small and she will have an excuse?
"It depends on the individual's physical condition. However, Ye Liangqie should eat something, otherwise it will be very dangerous for the child to not get nutrition in the mother's body."
"Yes," Ye Susu replied.
Jiang Fenghua personally saw Imperial Physician Mei out, and then, avoiding the crowd, asked, "I have something to ask Imperial Physician Mei."
"Please speak, Your Highness."
"I would like to know the difference in pulse between a two-month and a three-month pregnancy?" Jiang Fenghua asked directly.
Physician Mei paused for a moment. He had worked his way up to the position of head of the Imperial Hospital for a reason. Moreover, those on duty in the palace had to be extremely cautious, otherwise their lives could be in danger at any time.
"Imperial Physician Mei, just tell me the truth. I have no other intentions."
Since the Crown Princess had said so, Physician Mei truthfully replied, "Generally, pregnancy can be diagnosed as early as one month into the pregnancy. In the first three months, the pulse on the left cun position is usually floating and large. In the third and fourth months, the pulse on the chi position usually becomes slippery and firm. After the fifth month of pregnancy, the pulse becomes rapid and persistent..."
After hearing this, Jiang Fenghua said, "In other words, it's difficult to distinguish between a two-month and a three-month pregnancy based on pulse diagnosis."
"You could say that, these are all the experiences of a doctor," said Physician Mei.
She then asked, "Judging from Ye Liang's pulse, how many months pregnant is she?"
"Her pulse was irregular, which must have occurred between February and March."
Upon hearing this result, Jiang Fenghua was almost certain that she couldn't find any flaws in Ye Susu's case. If Ye Susu had planned this all along, she wouldn't have left any evidence.
It seems she really underestimated Ye Susu's ambition.
"Thank you for your trouble, Physician Mei." Jiang Fenghua saw the person off and returned to the banquet.
Just then, Tang Qianran was about to leave when she said, "Your Highness, I am feeling a little unwell and would like to return to the palace first."
"It's getting late, you should all go back!" Jiang Fenghua knew what Tang Qianran was thinking. When Xie Shang was in Taihua Palace, she disguised herself as a palace maid and went to Taihua Palace to meet Xie Shang. This was also the Empress's wish, so no one stopped her.
Xie Shang did not stop her from making the inkstone, but let her do it. At the same time, Xie Shang also received a lot of support from Minister Tang in the court.
The situation between the Tang family and Xie Shang can be considered a win-win situation.
Tang Qianran probably thought that her father was the Minister of Justice, a high-ranking and powerful official, which was why she spoke in such a sarcastic tone.
She and the young master of the Lu family were about to get married, which meant that the two of them were in love. Tang Qianran just dumped the young master of the Lu family like that. Would the Lu family be willing to accept that?
She suddenly remembered that Xie Shang had a palace maid named Lu Xuefei by his side.
Lu Xuefei probably knew that Tang Qianran was about to become her sister-in-law, but now she had become someone who wanted to share a husband with her. She must hate Tang Qianran!
In the hearts of Tang Qianran and all the women in the Eastern Palace, Lu Xuefei was the one who had the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first.
It all depends on who Xie Shang favors first; whoever does will get to show off.
Ye Susu walked to Jiang Fenghua's side and said, "This concubine will take her leave now."
Song Qing also said, "This concubine will take her leave now. Thank you for your hospitality, Crown Princess."
"Your father works in the Western Suburbs Camp, right? Do you know General Peng Fei?" Jiang Fenghua asked Song Qing.
Song Qing asked, "General Peng Fei is my maternal uncle. Does the Crown Princess know my maternal uncle?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled, "I don't know him, but His Highness has mentioned your uncle's name." It turns out that there was a reason why Song Qing entered the palace. General Peng Fei was still young, and the Peng family did not have any suitable women to enter the palace, so they chose Song Qing.
Xie Shang was indeed very strategic, carefully linking the imperial court and the harem.
Jiang Fenghua praised, "Song Fengyi looks really good in these hair ornaments, and her face is beautiful too."
Song Qing blushed slightly, "The Crown Princess is the most beautiful person in the world. How can I compare to her?"
Jiang Fenghua gave Ye Susu a deep look and deliberately said, "Just now, Physician Mei said that Consort Ye's pregnancy is early, like it's less than three months along."
Ye Susu's body trembled slightly, but her expression remained unchanged as she calmed down. "I will definitely eat well when I get back."
Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "That's what I told Physician Mei too. He said that as long as Consort Ye eats well and takes good care of her body, the fetus will be normal and she will be born at full term. Of course, it wouldn't be strange if it's earlier or later. Consort Ye, just take good care of yourself. After all, your body is the most precious in the palace, and everyone is watching. If I don't take good care of Consort Ye, it would be my dereliction of duty."
Ye Susu was so frightened that her back was covered in cold sweat. She quickly said, "I will definitely take good care of my health and will never cause the Crown Princess to be punished."
"Go! I'll have Granny Wang personally bring you the medicine to help with your pregnancy later."
"Thank you, Crown Princess."
