Doctor Zhang did not reply, but shook his head and continued taking the patient's pulse.
"Brother Ling..." Helan Ya's face was very nervous. She held Zhong Zhiling's hand with her other hand and said weakly, "Brother Ling, I... I am not seriously ill, am I?"
"No, don't overthink it. It must be because the weather is so hot that you can't stand it. You must have suffered from heatstroke," Zhong Zhiling was busy trying to comfort Helan Ya, and said softly, "The ice cellar I asked the servants to dig a few days ago is almost done. The ice will be delivered the day after tomorrow. Just bear with it for two more days. By then, putting ice in the room will definitely be a lot cooler."
"Brother Ling, I'm a burden to you..." Helan Ya felt very guilty. Zhong Zhiling always lived and ate with the soldiers and never wasted money, so there was no ice cellar in the palace. Helan Ya knew that Zhong Zhiling ordered the ice cellar to be dug for her, so she felt both happy and guilty.
"I was inconsiderate and made you feel wronged." Zhong Zhiling felt even more uncomfortable when he saw Helan Ya's sweaty face. He blamed himself. It was such a hot day and he knew Helan Ya was afraid of heat, but he couldn't help doing that. At that time, both of them were sweating profusely as if they were washed by water. Helan Ya was a little exhausted, but he didn't care much. He took a bath with Helan Ya. Helan Ya felt tired and went to the backyard to take a nap. He went back to the kitchen to continue eating. But now that he thought about it, Helan Ya had obviously started to feel uncomfortable just now, but he didn't notice it at all. He was too careless. He must never do this again in the future...
"Congratulations, Princess! Congratulations, Prince!" When Zhong Zhiling was feeling guilty and blaming herself, the medical officer Zhang had already kowtowed to the two of them happily to congratulate them.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Zhiling was startled, looking at Doctor Zhang's face with a look of astonishment, his beard trembling with excitement, "Congratulations on what?"
"Your Highness, the princess has been pregnant for more than a month!" Doctor Zhang said excitedly, his beard shaking even more violently, "Your Highness, great joy! Princess, great joy!"
The next second, Zhong Zhiling suddenly sat up straight. He stared at Doctor Zhang in amazement, then turned to look at He Lanya, who was also in amazement. Then, both of them were so excited that their eyes turned red. Zhong Zhiling suddenly grabbed He Lanya's shoulders tightly, nodding his head and saying, "Good, good! Great news! Great news!"
Helan Ya looked at his face which was so happy that it was almost crazy, and her heart was both excited and sad. She wiped the corners of her wet eyes and then hurried to confirm with Doctor Zhang: "Doctor Zhang, is this really a pregnancy pulse?"
"Yes! Princess, you are sure it is a pregnancy pulse!" Doctor Zhang said excitedly, "I have been a doctor in the Northwest Camp for decades, and have been treating soldiers and diagnosing their pulses. This is the first time I have diagnosed a pregnancy pulse in decades! Congratulations to the princess! Congratulations to the prince!"
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang," Helan Ya's heart finally settled down as she asked, "I've lost my appetite lately and I feel weak all the time. Is it because I'm pregnant? Will it affect the fetus?"
"That's right. It's normal for the princess to have some reactions when she first gets pregnant. When the pregnancy is three months old, these pregnancy reactions will gradually subside or disappear. Please don't be nervous," Doctor Zhang said hurriedly. Seeing that Helan Ya was still worried, he hurriedly said, "I will prepare a prescription for the princess to maintain the pregnancy and ensure that the princess is healthy. Please rest assured."
"Yes, now that you say that, I feel much more relieved." Helan Ya smiled again.
"Then I will go and prepare medicine for the princess." Doctor Zhang bowed and left.
