After Granny Dong and Granny Quan left.
Xia Ju whispered to Ituma Shushu with a worried expression, "Your Majesty, you must take good care of yourself during your pregnancy!"
Dongmei looked worried and said, "Your Majesty, twins are much more difficult than single births. Especially during childbirth, it's much more dangerous."
Ituma Shushu touched her belly and said softly to Xiaju and Dongmei, "When my mother gave birth to my fourth and fifth brothers, it was indeed a bit difficult, but in the end she still gave birth to my fourth and fifth brothers safely."
She then added, "I have already safely given birth to the Seventh Prince. Although this is a twin pregnancy, it is not my first pregnancy. Don't worry, this pregnancy will also go smoothly."
Xia Ju clasped her hands together and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Heaven will surely bless you."
Ituma Shushu then said softly to Xia Ju and Dong Mei, "Well, Xia Ju and Dong Mei, you must also remind me to take a walk and pray for blessings every day at dawn."
"Does Your Majesty take a walk every day at dawn?" Dongmei asked with a look of doubt and worry.
Ituma Shushu touched her belly and said, "When my mother was pregnant with my eldest brother, she met a traveling doctor."
The itinerant doctor once said that pregnant women should engage in appropriate exercise and should not stay in bed all day.
My mother was able to safely give birth to my elder brother, and the four younger brothers' daily appropriate exercise played a crucial role in this.
Therefore, I have decided to take a stroll in Qingyun Yaxuan every day, and also to offer my blessings.
"So that's how it is!" Xia Ju and Dong Mei both breathed a sigh of relief.
Ituma Shushu then whispered to Xia Ju and Dong Mei, "Xia Ju, Dong Mei, help me to the recliner to rest for a while."
Xia Ju and Dong Mei bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
So, supported by Xia Ju and Dong Mei, she leaned back in the recliner and pretended to doze off.
Afterwards, Xia Ju and Dong Mei carefully served her.
Although Ituma Shushu told Xiaju, Dongmei, Granny Dong, and Granny Quan that she was pregnant with twins because they resembled her mother.
In fact, she knew in her heart that it was probably because she thought that the fertility pill could enhance her physical condition, and the Empress had even used three fertility pills, so she thought of using two fertility pills to enhance her physical condition at once.
Unexpectedly, the effects of the Fertility Pill vary from person to person. After taking two Fertility Pills, which had the same effect as the Twin Pill, she successfully conceived twins.
She also clearly felt the effects of the fertility pill she had taken when she gave birth to the Seventh Prince Hongzhao. Now, she was pregnant with twins and didn't experience much discomfort, even more so than when she was pregnant with the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
Perhaps because of this, her pulse was quite strong, which is why Doctor Wang suspected that she was carrying twins when she was more than five months pregnant.
Ituma Shushu's brow twitched slightly, and she thought to herself, "I should open the 'Dawn Mall' and take a look now."
She silently said, "Dawn Mall," then "Open."
After opening the "Dawn Mall", Ituma Shushu used her mind to form a small hand and pressed the light blue button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel of the "Dawn Mall".
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
Ituma Shushu
[Vital Energy: -387]
Lifespan: 6 years and 4 months
Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.
Due to her pregnancy over the past three months, she has been able to collect even less vitality points from daily check-ins, and she is currently still in debt.
Then, she used her mind to create a small hand and pressed the light pink button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall".
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
[Yongzheng]
Lifespan: 5 years and 4 months
Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.
She frowned slightly. Now she could only wait until Consort Ning and the Empress became pregnant before observing how Yongzheng's lifespan would change.
She silently repeated, "Chenxi Mall," then "Close."
After shutting down "Dawn Mall", Ituma Shushu continued to doze off on her recliner.
The Nine Provinces are at peace.
At this moment, a young eunuch rushed in and came to Su Peisheng's side, saying, "Eunuch Su, the Imperial Physician Wang, who has been taking the pulse of Consort Shu, requests an audience."
Su Peisheng wondered to himself, "Could there be something wrong with Consort Shu's unborn child?"
Su Peisheng understood the Emperor's emphasis on Consort Shu's pregnancy and dared not be negligent. He quickly went in and reported to Emperor Yongzheng, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wang, who has been taking Consort Shu's pulse, requests an audience."
Emperor Yongzheng immediately frowned and ordered, "Bring Physician Wang in immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Su Peisheng hurriedly replied as he withdrew.
Not long after, Su Peisheng brought in Physician Wang.
Physician Wang bowed his head and hurriedly knelt before Emperor Yongzheng, saying, "This servant greets Your Majesty."
"Get up. Is there something wrong with Imperial Physician Wang and Consort Shu's unborn child?" Yongzheng asked with a tense face.
"Your Majesty, this servant examined Consort Shu's pulse today and discovered that she may be carrying twins."
However, this servant is worried that my medical skills are not good enough, and I humbly request Your Majesty to send several imperial physicians to help me take Consort Shu's pulse." Imperial Physician Wang bowed and said.
Emperor Yongzheng was overjoyed. "Twins! I remember that Consort Shu has two younger brothers, who are twins. Consort Shu must resemble her mother."
The Qing Dynasty valued having many sons, believing that more children meant more blessings. Even if Ituma Shushu had two sons, if they looked exactly alike, the most that would happen was that they would lose their right to inherit the throne; otherwise, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
Emperor Yongzheng currently only has four sons: the Third Prince Hongshi, the Fifth Prince Hongli, the Sixth Prince Hongzhou, and the Seventh Prince Hongzhao. Of course, he would be overjoyed to have two more sons.
Yongzheng then instructed Su Peisheng, saying, "Su Peisheng, convey my decree to have the Imperial Physician Sun and Physician Wang, the heads of the Imperial Medical Academy, go together to check Consort Shu's pulse."
