Chapter 107 The imperial physician diagnosed the emperor's pulse! The emperor was also very happy
Xiao Lingzhao looked down at the palm of his hand.
He once again mobilized the strength in his body, separating a little from it, wanting to try again with his father.
He placed his palm on his father's dantian, but the power from his fingertips only penetrated into his father's dantian for a moment before withdrawing again, following his meridians and re-entering his body.
Xiao Lingzhao looked up at his father.
“Failed again.”
The old general nodded.
It was like this before. My son’s extraordinary strength only recognized him and no one else.
Xiao Lingzhao said, "I thought about it, it's probably because a person's blood can only be passed on to children, but not to parents. The bloodline can only be passed on to the future, not to the past. My power is probably the same as my blood. I can pass it on to my son, but not to my father, because my son's blood and flesh come from me, and you, parents, are not—"
He said, "My parents and I, they gave me life and flesh and blood, not me who gave you flesh and blood."
The old general and the old lady looked at each other.
They didn't understand this mysterious thing, just like they didn't know why their son, who was born from ordinary people, was born with this strange power.
Maybe it's just what my son said.
The old general stopped worrying and said happily, "No matter what, as long as we can confirm that Yuan Wei is pregnant with your child, that's enough!"
The old man patted Xiao Lingzhao's shoulder vigorously, overjoyed, "Our Xiao family has a successor, a successor!"
The old lady was also extremely happy.
She asked Xiao Lingzhao excitedly, "By the way, Lingzhao, you said your son can absorb your power. If he helps you absorb some more, can you become a normal person again?"
Xiao Lingzhao nodded, "Yes, he is still too young now. When he grows up, I can become a normal person again."
The old general and the old lady were ecstatic.
Not only did their Ling Zhao have a child, but he could also live as a normal person again, without having to suffer from illness anymore!
This is really great news!
Xiao Lingzhao looked at his parents' excited expressions with gentle eyes.
He said, "Dad, Mom, you must stop being sulky all day long. You are going to be grandparents. You must take good care of yourselves and live long. Otherwise, how can you see your grandchildren being born?"
The old general and his wife nodded vigorously with a smile.
"Our illness has been cured. Look, your father is now full of energy! If my eldest grandson were here, I would even practice a few sets of boxing to make him happy!"
"That's right. If Yuan Wei and my eldest grandson were here with me, I would go to the kitchen and make delicious food for them. I could even make tiger-head shoes and hats for my grandson. How could I be sick? I'm not sick at all!"
“…”
Xiao Lingzhao couldn't help laughing when he saw his parents' pale and haggard faces turning red.
He hopes his parents will be happy.
But this is too exciting and won’t work.
"Dad, Mom, Yuan Wei is now the emperor's concubine. We must keep the secret about the child to ourselves. Otherwise, Yuan Wei will be in danger and our family will be doomed."
The old general and his wife nodded.
They are all elderly people, they will not bring disaster to their son and daughter-in-law, they will be more cautious than these two young people.
The old lady instructed, "It's fine for us. We are in our own home and no one cares about us. But you are in the palace and can see Yuan Wei at any time. You have to be careful. You must control yourself and never let the emperor find anything unusual..."
Xiao Lingzhao agreed.
He looked at his father deeply.
He had thought that his father, who had been loyal to the royal family all his life, would ask Yuan Wei to have an abortion in order to protect the emperor's dignity when he heard that the emperor's concubine was pregnant with the child of their Xiao family...
Fortunately, although Dad was loyal to the emperor, he cared more about his son and the Xiao family.
That's good, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
He spoke a few more words to his parents, then got up and left, returning to his own room.
Seeing him leave, the old general turned around and whispered to the old lady.
"My son was looking at me just now. Does he think I don't know what he is thinking? He is afraid that I will force Yuan Wei to have an abortion in order to be loyal to the emperor... Humph, I am not that loyal."
"If he had gone to seduce the emperor's concubines and cuckolded the emperor, I would have definitely beaten him to death. But now the emperor has robbed our daughter-in-law. My son has done nothing wrong, and my daughter-in-law has done nothing wrong. Why should I make things difficult for my own son and daughter-in-law?"
"They're both already suffering a lot, how can I make things worse for them..."
"Besides, Yuan Wei is pregnant with my grandson. He is willing to be reborn into our Xiao family as my grandson. How can I, as a grandfather, kill him? I won't harm them..."
The old lady nodded.
The emperor was immoral first, and they would rather let him down than hurt Yuan Wei and Ling Zhao, two poor children.
…
The next few days were calm.
Shen Yuanwei and Xiao Lingzhao kept their little secret to themselves and were happy in their hearts, not having too much contact that would arouse suspicion.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.
The Empress Dowager came to ask Shen Yuanwei every day whether her menstrual period had come, and today was no exception.
"Princess Zhao, have you had your period?"
Shen Yuanwei looked up at the Queen Mother. Before she could answer, Xie Junlin's pleasant laughter came from the side, "Mother, she didn't come. If she had her period, how could I be happy?"
Queen Mother Jiang also laughed out loud.
She held Shen Yuanwei's hand tightly and said happily, "It has been more than a month. The imperial physician should be able to see something. Zhaopin, please sit still. I will ask them to call the imperial physician in to check your pulse."
Xie Junlin also put down the memorial in his hand and looked sideways at Shen Yuanwei, his eyes full of anticipation.
There should be good news today, right?
His little prince will get definite news today, right?
Queen Mother Jiang happily called out to Chen Hai to call in an imperial physician.
After a while, Chen Hai came in with Doctor Ge.
Queen Mother Jiang pointed at Shen Yuanwei and said, "Come and feel Concubine Zhao's pulse. Take a look."
Doctor Ge responded.
He sat on the small stool in front of Shen Yuanwei and put his hand on Shen Yuanwei's wrist to feel her pulse.
He made the diagnosis with his eyes closed. Everyone in the room stared at him without blinking, their eyes full of tension and anticipation.
After a moment, Doctor Ge opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yuanwei hesitantly.
"Wasn't your Majesty pregnant last month? The pulse of a woman who has been pregnant for more than two months should be clear, like beads rolling on a plate. However, your pulse seems to be slippery and not very clear. Could it be that there is something wrong with the fetus in your belly?"
He asked hurriedly, "Has your Majesty been feeling unwell these days? Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach? Have you... have you seen blood?"
Hearing what Doctor Ge said, Xie Junlin suddenly straightened up, extremely surprised!
Doctor Ge was not aware of the real situation. He thought Yuan Wei was really two months pregnant, so he mistakenly believed that Yuan Wei's slippery and unclear pulse meant there was a problem with the fetus. But he was clear. He knew that Yuan Wei had just become pregnant this month. He could determine that Yuan Wei was pregnant from the word "slippery pulse" from Doctor Ge's words!
It’s just that the month is still early and the pulse is not clear!
