As soon as Ituma Shushu sat down, Dongmei brought in Su Peisheng, Imperial Physician Sun, and Imperial Physician Wang.
"Greetings to Consort Shu." Su Peisheng, Imperial Physician Sun, and Imperial Physician Wang, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, knelt down and bowed.
“No need for formalities, please rise, Eunuch Su, Physician Sun, and Physician Wang,” Ituma Shushu said gently.
"Thank you, Consort Shu." Eunuch Su, Imperial Physician Sun (head of the Imperial Medical Academy), and Imperial Physician Wang bowed and said.
"Thank you for your help, Physician Sun and Physician Wang," Ituma Shushu said, sitting on the exquisite embroidered couch and extending her wrist.
"This is what a servant should do," said Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, and Physician Wang, bowing respectfully.
The imperial physician Wang walked to Ituma Shushu's bedside, bowed, and gently placed his fingers on her slender wrist. His brows furrowed slightly as he pondered to himself.
After a moment, Physician Wang withdrew his finger and waited to the side.
Then, the Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, also walked to Ituma Shushu's bedside, bowed, and walked with steady and powerful steps, his brows revealing a sense of solemnity and seriousness.
Sun, the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, gently extended his hand and placed three fingers on Ituma Shushu's slender wrist.
Sun, the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, sometimes lowered his head in deep thought, and sometimes nodded slightly, his face solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
The main hall was quiet, with only the sound of everyone breathing.
After a while, Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, slowly withdrew his hand, stood up, and then turned to walk towards Physician Wang, who was waiting to the side.
Finally, the Imperial Physician Sun and Physician Wang discussed quietly for a while before bowing to Ituma Shushu and saying, "Your Highness, do not worry. Although your pulse indicates twins, it is steady and strong, and the fetuses in your womb are not in danger. This servant will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. Your Highness, please rest assured and take care of your pregnancy."
After saying this, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Sun Tai, stood up, picked up a brush, wrote down a prescription, and handed it to Xia Ju, who was standing nearby. Ituma Shushu said gratefully, "Thank you for your trouble, Imperial Physician. I will certainly follow your advice and take good care of my pregnancy."
At this moment, Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I will go and report to the Emperor that you are pregnant with twins."
Eunuch Su and Imperial Physician Wang also bowed and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. We will take our leave now."
Ituma Shushu said to Xiao Yezi and Xiao Zhuozi who were waiting aside, "Xiao Yezi, Xiao Zhuozi, please see off Eunuch Su, Physician Sun, and Physician Wang."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Yezi and Xiao Zhuozi kowtowed.
Xiao Yezi and Xiao Zhuozi quickly bowed and said, "Eunuch Su, Physician Sun, Physician Wang, this way please."
The Nine Provinces are at peace.
Su Peisheng strode into the inner room and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Wang have already checked Consort Shu's pulse and are waiting outside."
Yongzheng quickly raised his head and urged, "Su Peisheng, let Physician Sun and Physician Wang come in quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Su Peisheng replied, bowing his head.
Soon, Su Peisheng led in Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Wang, the heads of the Imperial Medical Academy.
The Imperial Physicians, Sun and Wang, knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings to Your Majesty."
Yongzheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Imperial Physician Sun, Imperial Physician Wang, please get up. How is Consort Shu now?"
The Imperial Physicians, Sun and Wang, immediately stood up. Then, Physician Sun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the results of my pulse diagnosis are consistent with those of Physician Wang. Consort Shu is indeed carrying twins for more than five months, and the pregnancy is currently stable."
Emperor Yongzheng was overjoyed and said, "Su Peisheng, the two imperial physicians will be richly rewarded."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Su Peisheng bowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," said Physician Sun and Physician Wang, bowing their heads.
Yongzheng continued, "I entrust the imperial fetus to you, Physician Sun and Physician Wang."
"Yes, Your servants obey." Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Wang, the heads of the Imperial Medical Academy, replied in unison.
At this moment, Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, raised his head and said to Emperor Yongzheng in a solemn tone: "Your Majesty, Consort Shu is currently more than five months pregnant, and twins usually result in premature birth."
Few of the midwives in the palace have experience delivering twins. This servant humbly requests Your Majesty to search among the common people for two midwives experienced in delivering twins to serve Consort Shu in her palace.
Emperor Yongzheng pondered for a moment and said, "What Physician Sun said makes sense. There are indeed few twins in the royal family. I will send people to the common people to find midwives who have experience in delivering twins."
Yongzheng turned to Su Peisheng, who was waiting to the side, and said, "Su Peisheng, see the two imperial physicians off."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Su Peisheng replied with a bow.
"This servant takes his leave," said the Imperial Physician Sun and Physician Wang, the heads of the Imperial Medical Academy, bowing their heads.
After instructing the eunuchs around him to see off the Imperial Physician Sun and Physician Wang, Su Peisheng bowed and returned to his inner chamber to serve Emperor Yongzheng.
Emperor Yongzheng held a delicate calligraphy brush in his hands, the tip of which glided lightly across the memorial, leaving behind lines of elegant ink.
As Yongzheng read, he marked the text with his pen, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes nodding.
Beside Yongzheng, the attendants stood quietly, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing Yongzheng's thoughts.
The entire palace was quiet except for the occasional sound of brushstrokes.
As time went by, the memorials were gradually reviewed and approved by Emperor Yongzheng. He gently put down his brush, waved to the attendants who were standing by, and they immediately filed out of the hall.
After the attendants withdrew, Yongzheng said to Su Peisheng, who was standing to the side, "Su Peisheng, I have specially selected a palace maid who is skilled in medicine and a palace maid who knows martial arts to serve Consort Shu. These two palace maids are waiting in the side hall now. You shall personally deliver these two palace maids to Consort Shu."
