Chapter 106 Catching Bugs

The governor found a recliner for Qingping, and Qingping leaned on it, and his vomiting was alleviated.

The Left Imperial Physician and a royal physician from the Southern Kingdom both came, and the Governor also invited a local doctor.

The three of them exchanged greetings and went to take the patient's pulse.

Within a few seconds, Doctor Zuo's face changed drastically.

Looking at the expression of Imperial Physician Zuo, Lady Dingbei Marquis became even more proud.

"How is it, Imperial Physician? What happened to Princess Qingping?"

The Imperial Physician Zuo did not respond but made a "please come in" gesture, and the Imperial Physician from the Southern Kingdom stepped forward.

The Southern Kingdom's imperial physician was naturally prepared, as the pulse was the same as what the wife of Marquis Dingbei had described before, but he acted well. The moment his finger was attached, his fingertips trembled and bounced away. Then, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and attached it again.

After taking the pulse, he sighed, stepped aside, and nodded to the wife of Marquis Dingbei.

Mrs. Dingbei was completely relieved.

The third doctor was the one invited by the governor. He had no idea of ​​the situation and usually treated common people. Today, the governor's steward came to invite him in person, and he was a little confused.

Looking at the expressions of the first two doctors after they took the patient's pulse, he guessed that it was some difficult and complicated case. But the moment he took the pulse, a look of joy appeared on his face. Why did everyone look so serious for such a simple question?

The doctor did not think too much about it, nor did he communicate with the left imperial physician and the southern imperial physician. Instead, he said directly to Qingping, "Congratulations, Madam. You are pregnant."

When he said this, no one reacted. Even Qingping, who was closest to him, was in a daze.

"What's wrong? Did I diagnose it wrong?" Seeing that everyone was not as happy as they had imagined, the doctor went up to check again without giving up.

Normally, when ordinary people come to him for pulse diagnosis, whenever he finds a positive pulse, he is always overjoyed and gives them a few more taels of medical fee. Why didn't these people react today? This official is really different from ordinary people. He is so calm in the face of things.

After a while, he murmured, "Yes, it's the pulse of happiness."

This time Qingping heard the doctor's words clearly. He trembled and his face changed drastically.

"How dare you! This princess hasn't even left the house yet, how can you tell that she is pregnant? As a doctor, how dare you spread rumors? This princess thinks you are tired of living!" Qing Ping shouted angrily.

Xia Xue had never seen Qing Ping like this before. Qing Ping must be very angry this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so cowardly.

When the doctor heard that it was the princess who had not yet left the palace, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "I am guilty. My medical skills are not good enough. I diagnosed the princess's pulse incorrectly. I deserve to die!"

"Oh, you are so majestic! You looked like a delicate and weak girl just now, but now you are showing off your majesty as a princess. This doctor is just speaking based on his own pulse diagnosis. If the princess is not satisfied, she can ask the other two imperial physicians!" Lady Dingbei Marquis smiled and emphasized the word "imperial physician".

The kneeling doctor broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that the two people examining the patient with him were actually imperial physicians. How could he be so rude? He told the result first. The expressions of the two people clearly showed that the situation was not good. He was so stupid!

"The princess' pulse does sound like a happy one." Imperial Physician Zuo spoke with embarrassment. After all, it concerned the princess's reputation, so he didn't dare to speak lightly. However, after practicing medicine for many years, he generally wouldn't make such low-level mistakes.

Qing Ping was dumbfounded, her crystal clear eyes almost popped out, "Impossible - Impossible" She shook her head vigorously, her face, which was already pale due to vomiting, looked even more horrible.

The Southern Kingdom's imperial physician stroked his beard and said, "I also diagnosed a pregnancy pulse." He could avoid saying, "If she's pregnant, he's always been cautious. Being in the Southern Kingdom and the imperial palace, he naturally knows that more than one kind of medicine can cause a false pregnancy. Whether this pregnancy pulse is real or fake is not his business. He just needs to diagnose it.

Qingping's body went limp and she fell back onto the recliner. She had never done anything before, let alone lost consciousness without knowing it. How could she be pregnant?

She has indeed changed recently. She eats a lot more and doesn't have bowel movements. She thought she was having problems with the local climate.

She must have been drugged.

But what kind of medicine can make a person pregnant? And how can she prove her innocence?

If Nan Guo broke off the engagement with her because of such a terrible reason as "pregnancy", she would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire family and the entire Da'an, and she would not want to live anymore.

Xia Xue watched Qing Ping's face turn pale and then blue, and then turned completely gray. She knew that Qing Ping must have had thoughts of committing suicide.

The slap that the Fourth Master gave to the wife of Marquis Dingbei just now was still too light.

Xia Xue took a step forward and gently squeezed Qing Ping's hand.

Qingping's hands were as cold as iron.

"Don't be afraid!" Xia Xue mouthed to Qingping.

Qingping's eyes were filled with mist and he shook Xia Xue's hand tightly.

"I have always heard that the people in the south are open-minded, but I didn't expect that Da'an is even more open-minded than the south!" Lady Dingbei Marquis smiled sarcastically, "We in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion would not dare to marry such a shameless woman home."

"Madam, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, so don't say such harsh words." Marquis Dingbei obviously did not expect this diagnosis result. He was still thinking about what to do when his wife took the initiative to convict someone.

"What else do you need to clarify? Can't two imperial physicians and a doctor from Ningzhou make a definite conclusion? What else does the Marquis want to do? Invite her back to the Marquis' Mansion and then have her raise a child for someone else? You want to please Da'an and suffer this loss, but I don't want that!" The wife of Marquis Dingbei was aggressive.

Xia Xue sneered, "Madam, are you so sure that the princess is pregnant?"

"All three doctors have said it, do you still want to make excuses?" Lady Dingbei Marquis rolled her eyes.

At this time, a smile appeared in Ouyang Du's eyes. As soon as Xia Xue opened her mouth, he became interested. He was still wondering why this little woman was so quiet this time. Sure enough, she stood up again.

"Did the two imperial physicians say that the princess is pregnant?" Xia Xue first looked at the imperial physician of the Southern Kingdom, then turned her gaze to the imperial physician of the Left.

The Southern Kingdom's imperial physician was stunned at first, then shook his head. This woman was really sharp.

Doctor Zuo also shook his head and thought of another possibility.

The doctor was also confused and immediately changed his words, "I also feel something is wrong. It's not pregnancy."

The corners of Mrs. Dingbei's mouth twitched fiercely. "You are all violating medical ethics. You lie with your eyes open. You say you are pregnant one second, and deny it the next second."

"No, Madam Dingbei, you are wrong!" Xia Xue smiled, "The two doctors never said that the princess was pregnant, they just said that the pulse they diagnosed was a happy pulse."

"What's the difference?" Lady Dingbei's tone softened when she saw Xia Xue admitting that she was pregnant.

"Of course there is a difference, and the difference is huge." Xia Xue curled the corners of her mouth, walked up to the Southern Kingdom's imperial physician, and looked at him intently.

Then, he bowed.

The Southern Kingdom's imperial physician hurriedly took a step back.

Ouyang Du crossed his arms to see how this little woman was going to perform next.
