392 Conscience, do it even if you know it is wrong

Imperial Noble Consort Xie is not Feng Qingchen. The Queen has to give her some face. How dare Princess Anping contradict her? After being rebuked by Imperial Noble Consort Xie, Princess Anping stood there in a dilemma, biting her lip in grievance.

The Queen showed dissatisfaction and obvious blame. Feng Qingchen thought that Imperial Noble Consort Xie would stop, but she slammed the table and said, "You bold servants, how can you do your job? You didn't even inform me when the princess came in."

The cup on the table trembled, and the tea splashed all over the table. The palace was tense, and the maid behind Imperial Noble Concubine Xie knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Forgive me? How can I forgive you? You dared not to inform me when the princess came in? You are so bold. You should know that the princess not paying respect to me is a small matter, but if it gets out, it will damage the princess's reputation. The princess is about to marry into Beiling. If the emperor of Beiling finds out, you will die a hundred times."

On the surface, she was scolding her servant, but in reality she embarrassed the Queen and made Princess Anping lose face.

Princess Anping's pretty face turned red and white, and she stood there for a long time without moving. If she bowed at this time, it would be obvious that she was weak.

Feng Qingchen admired her, she really admired her. The women in the harem killed people without spilling blood. But Feng Qingchen didn't understand why Concubine Xie had to offend the Queen and Princess Anping to death.

The most powerful person in the harem is the Queen, and she also has the most resources. Even if Imperial Noble Concubine Xie has the Xie family behind her and is pregnant, as Princess Anping said, it is not certain whether it is a prince or a boy. Even if it is a prince, it is still a question whether he can grow up.

Of course, these are not the issues that Feng Qingchen needs to worry about. Anyway, she would never put herself in a situation like the Queen or Imperial Concubine Xie. It is too tiring.

"They are just a few servants. My sister is pregnant, so you'd better take care of yourself." Noble Concubine Xie's persistence made the Queen very dissatisfied. The smile on the Queen's face was very stiff, but because it was Princess Anping who made the mistake first, she could only laugh.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I have been feeling a little uncomfortable these past two days. You are right. I should take care of myself. I will not bother you any more. I will take Qingchen with me and let him check my pulse. As for the competition between Qingchen and Nanling Su Wan in five days, I believe that with Queen here, Qingchen will not lose."

As soon as Imperial Noble Consort Xie said to leave, the maid behind her immediately stepped forward to help her up, as if Imperial Noble Consort Xie was a piece of tofu that needed to be held carefully. Of course, even if Imperial Noble Consort Xie was tofu, she was the most expensive tofu in the world, because she was pregnant with the emperor's son.

"Qingchen, let's go." Imperial Noble Concubine Xie turned around and gave Feng Qingchen a gentle smile, which made Feng Qingchen feel cold.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Her Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the Princess, I'll take my leave." Feng Qingchen bowed. She was not very happy about leaving the Queen's palace so soon. She knew very well that Imperial Noble Consort Xie would never do anything without benefits.

With a big belly, she walked from Zhaoyan Palace to the Queen's palace. Imperial Noble Concubine Xie definitely did this to save her. She didn't have that much face.

As expected, Imperial Noble Consort Xie was not one who did good things without asking for anything in return. As soon as she arrived at Zhaoyan Palace, she dismissed her attendants and only kept her confidants there, and then stated her purpose.

The Imperial Concubine asked Feng Qingchen to identify the gender of the dragon seed in her belly.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician should have told you." Feng Qingchen was not surprised. Not to mention in the ancient times where men were superior to women, even in modern times there are many parents who try every means to identify the sex of the fetus after pregnancy, and if it is a female, they will abort it early.

The preference for boys over girls has existed since ancient times, and it was even more serious in ancient times. The orphanage where she stayed as a child also had more baby girls than girls.

"Qingchen, to tell you the truth, I don't trust those imperial doctors, and Imperial Doctor Sun is not good at gynecology. I only trust you." I didn't realize it before, but now I realize that the Imperial Concubine's word "Qingchen" has brought the two of them closer together.

"Your Majesty, your words of belief are as heavy as a pound to Qingchen. Qingchen is terrified." Facing the Queen, Feng Qingchen had to be humble to avoid unnecessary punishment. Facing Imperial Noble Consort Xie, Feng Qingchen would be more casual because Imperial Noble Consort Xie was smarter than the Queen.

Feng Qingchen's attitude towards the Xie family was based on the principle of mutual benefit. She had never thought of being tied to the Xie family, or taking the initiative to do anything for the Xie family. Imperial Concubine Xie's words were tying her to the Xie family.

However... today's matter obviously could not be refused by her. Imperial Noble Concubine Xie went to the Queen to save her despite being pregnant, and she even did not hesitate to offend the Queen and Princess Anping for this, although she did not need anyone to save her.

"Qingchen, I believe you can do it." Imperial Noble Concubine Xie was also nervous, but with Sun Zhengdao's words in mind, she believed it. She believed that Feng Qingchen could determine the gender of the baby in her belly.

After three months of pregnancy, the sex of the fetus can indeed be identified, but... if it is just to identify the sex of the fetus, of course there is nothing wrong, but Feng Qingchen knows very well that if Imperial Noble Concubine Xie is pregnant with a boy, it will be fine, but if she knows it is a girl, then the child will definitely be "accidentally" miscarried.

Identifying the gender of a baby is not allowed in modern times, but from a doctor's point of view, identifying the gender of a baby is not against the law or morality. Parents have the right to know the gender of their child, and this allows them to prepare in advance. The things needed for baby boys and baby girls are different.

The only thing you shouldn't do is make inappropriate decisions after knowing the baby's gender, such as aborting the baby after knowing it's a girl.

Obviously, Imperial Noble Concubine Xie had such a plan. If the baby in Imperial Noble Concubine Xie's belly was a girl, she would definitely not give birth to it, and even Imperial Noble Concubine Xie herself would not allow it.

Feng Qingchen knew that there were some highly skilled Chinese medicine practitioners who could determine whether a child was a boy or a girl simply by looking at the pulse, but there were always unexpected events. If she were to make the assessment, she would be sure, but her conscience would be condemned.

If it was a baby girl, she would be an indirect murderer. She had a lot of blood on her hands, but never the blood of an innocent baby.

Her conscience will be bothered!

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Imperial Noble Concubine Xie frowned slightly. If she didn't have something to ask for, she would never be polite to Feng Qingchen.

In the eyes of Imperial Concubine Xie, Feng Qingchen is a person who depends on the Xie family. Only when she is well can Feng Qingchen be well. If she wants to give birth to a dragon son, she can do without Feng Qingchen.

"No." Feng Qingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had to do it even though she felt guilty. It was impossible for a doctor to do everything according to his own wishes. In most cases, the doctor could only give advice to the patient. The real decision was made by the patient or the patient's family. Even if she knew that doing so was best for the patient, she could do nothing if the patient's family disagreed.

Besides, if the mother doesn't care, what's the point for her to care? If the baby in Imperial Noble Concubine Xie's belly is really a girl, she is destined to be disliked by her biological parents when she is born, and Imperial Noble Concubine Xie may not be willing to ensure that she grows up safely.

Feng Qingchen knew that this was self-hypnosis, but it was the only way she could feel better.

Imperial Concubine Xie nodded with satisfaction: "Qingchen, take a look at what you need to prepare, and I will send someone to prepare it right away."

"No need, Your Majesty, just lie down and let Qingchen take your pulse." Alas, the high-tech equipment in the medical smart bag is actually used to give prenatal examinations to the imperial concubines. What a waste.

She is becoming more and more like a gynecologist. However, these days only women would hire female doctors because they have no choice. Most of her patients are also women. Wang Jinling and Lan Jiuqing are exceptions. They choose her because they have no choice or other doctors have no other options, just like Xiling's second prince Xiling Tianyu.

There are very few people in this world who know what they are doing like Sun Zhengdao.

In people's impression, the profession of doctor values ​​qualifications and experience, and of course the older the better. Although Feng Qingchen has cured several difficult and complicated diseases, it is still not convincing enough.

If it were her, she would not believe that a 15-year-old girl could have superb medical skills. In addition, she cured Mrs. Xie's infertility and ensured that the wife of the Ningguo Duke's son and his mother were both safe and sound. Her reputation as an expert in gynecology spread like wildfire.

Noble Concubine Xie nodded and signaled the palace maid to help her to the bed. She also affirmed Feng Qingchen's ability. She was confident and calm, which showed that she was a capable person.

Besides, she was not afraid of Feng Qingchen's mischief. Even if the Ninth Prince protected her, it would not matter. If the Xie family really wanted to spend a lot of money, it was not impossible to kill Feng Qingchen. As for the Ninth Prince's revenge afterwards?

People are dead now, so they can only vent their anger. A small loss of blood from the Xie family will at least satisfy the Ninth Prince. That's what Imperial Noble Consort Xie thinks. As for how terrible the Ninth Prince's revenge will be, perhaps only those imperial censors who have frightened the Ninth Prince understand.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to wash my hands first." After Imperial Noble Concubine Xie lay down, Feng Qingchen took this opportunity to turn on the smart medical kit.

She really wasn't a gynecologist. Even when she was an intern, she had never worked in the gynecology department because her mentor said that her hands were naturally suited for holding a scalpel and surgery was her best choice.

Feng Qingchen's pulse diagnosis became more and more accurate. Although the diagnosis of the smart medical kit had zero error, one had to leave a way out for oneself, in case the smart medical kit broke down one day. Knowing how to take a pulse was better than knowing nothing at all. It was always good to have many skills, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine was the way to go.

After a cup of tea, Feng Qingchen withdrew her hand and did not speak, but lowered her head to think. Imperial Noble Consort Xie was originally very calm, but Feng Qingchen looked solemn and became nervous. She asked the palace maid to help her sit up. She wanted to open her mouth to ask several times, but she held back in the end.

The imperial doctors who had diagnosed her said that she was pregnant with a prince and that the child was healthy. However, she was still uneasy, and she didn't trust the imperial doctors, so she thought of asking Feng Qingchen to come and take a look. Seeing Feng Qingchen's condition, she was afraid that the child in her belly might be...

Noble Concubine Xie gently stroked her belly with her right hand, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and there was no maternal light that a pregnant woman should have...
