Granny Chun and Eunuch Fu both excitedly called out, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"
To be frank, you see, for servants like Granny Chun and Eunuch Fu, only when their master is in good health and can continue to live well can they, the servants, also live better.
The Empress quickly calmed down and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Physician Sun. I will be extra careful today."
Then the Empress instructed Fu Gong, who was waiting nearby, "Fu Gong, please escort Physician Sun out."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Fu hurriedly bowed.
"Physician Sun, this way please," said Eunuch Fu, bowing to Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.
With the departure of Eunuch Fu and Physician Sun, the inner room once again returned to its former tranquility and peace.
After a long while, Granny Chun finally couldn't hold back her tears and said, "Your Majesty, your health has finally improved. Before that, my heart was always in my throat."
The Empress patted Granny Chun's hand and sighed, "I never expected my health to improve so much."
While wiping away her tears, Granny Chun said, "Your Majesty, this servant believes that the entire harem has been blessed by Heaven these past few years!"
Think about it, first Consort Shu gave birth to sons one after another, then Consort Yu gave birth to a daughter, and even Consort Ning, who had been infertile for many years, is now pregnant with the Emperor's child. It's only natural that Your Majesty is in excellent health now.”
Granny Chun became more and more excited as she thought about it, and continued, "Now the Emperor often enters the inner palace, and he visits Feng Qingyue Ming much more often than before."
When the Empress heard Chun mention the Emperor, she frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before whispering to Chun, "Chun, don't you think the Emperor seems to have become a little younger in the past two years?"
After thinking for a while, Granny Chun lowered her voice and said, "Empress, even if you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have told you anyway. For some reason, His Majesty seems to be more and more like he was back in the Yong Prince's residence. He has indeed become younger."
The Empress nodded, her eyes flickering slightly, and continued in a low voice, "Then it seems it wasn't just my imagination."
Then, Granny Chun looked left and right again, and continued in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor is having people refine elixirs in the Yuanmingyuan Garden."
The Empress's pupils suddenly darkened, her eyes turned icy cold, and she warned coldly, "Granny Chun, you must never mention alchemy again, or even I won't be able to protect you."
Granny Chun was terrified and quickly knelt down, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will never dare to mention it again."
After leaving Feng Qingyueming, the Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, became increasingly solemn. He did not return to the Imperial Medical Academy, but instead turned around and went in another direction.
The Nine Provinces are at peace.
The young eunuch tiptoed to Su Peisheng's side, bent down and said a few words. Su Peisheng waved his hand, signaling the young eunuch to leave first.
Seeing that Yongzheng's brows relaxed slightly, Su Peisheng quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, requests an audience."
Yongzheng was somewhat taken aback. He frowned and ordered Su Peisheng in a deep voice, "Summon Imperial Physician Sun to an audience immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Su Peisheng bowed.
"Your Majesty, this humble servant pays his respects." The Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, immediately knelt and bowed to Emperor Yongzheng upon entering.
Emperor Yongzheng waved his hand, "No need for formalities, Physician Sun, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," said Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, bowing.
Emperor Yongzheng glanced at Physician Sun's solemn expression and calmly said, "Everyone else may leave now. Su Peisheng, you stay outside the door."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Su Peisheng replied with a bow.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were serving quickly filed out quietly.
Emperor Yongzheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Imperial Physician Sun, please speak frankly."
"Your Majesty, when I took Her Majesty's pulse today, I found that the vitality in Her Majesty's pulse had suddenly become stronger."
The head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, Sun, pondered for a moment and continued, "It's the same as what I found when I examined Your Majesty's pulse before; the vitality in the pulse suddenly became stronger."
Although Her Majesty the Empress's pulse doesn't show much vitality at the moment, it's enough for her to fully recover.
"Doctor Sun, do you mean that Her Majesty the Empress's pulse will also become the same as mine?"
"First, the vitality in the pulse suddenly becomes stronger, and then a large amount of vitality suddenly appears?" Yongzheng's voice was solemn and cold, without a trace of emotion.
"This servant cannot be certain whether Her Majesty's pulse will become the same as Your Majesty's later pulse, but this servant can be certain that Her Majesty's current pulse is the same as Your Majesty's previous pulse," said Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, with a solemn expression.
Yongzheng's dark eyes remained expressionless. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Imperial Physician Sun, I order you to continue taking the Empress's pulse and report back to me."
The Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, immediately kowtowed and solemnly said, "This servant obeys the decree."
"You may leave now," Yongzheng said calmly, his voice carrying an air of authority without anger.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant takes his leave," replied Sun, the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy.
After the Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, left, Emperor Yongzheng tapped his well-defined index finger lightly on the rim of the white jade cup, his already slightly furrowed brows furrowing even more.
Finally, Yongzheng made a gesture and instructed, "Anwu, investigate carefully who the Empress has been in contact with recently."
Yongzheng paused for a moment, then continued to instruct, "You should also investigate in detail who Consort Qi, Consort Xi, and Consort Yu have been in contact with during this period."
Yongzheng made another gesture.
"Yes, my lord." A shadow flashed through the room.
In the palace of Consort Qi.
Lin Mama whispered, "Your Highness, I never expected the Emperor to bestow such a great favor upon Consort Shu."
Consort Qi raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying softly, "Since His Majesty has bestowed this favor upon Consort Shu, he will not extend any further favor to Consort Shu's family."
Granny Lin suddenly realized and whispered, "This servant understands, so that's how it is!"
In the palace of Consort Xi.
Consort Xi said softly, "Granny Tao, you may leave now. I need to rest for a while."
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Granny Tao replied with a bow.
After Granny Tao left, Consort Xi's eyes turned cold as she thought to herself: Since the Emperor ascended the throne, there has been no good news from the harem. At that time, many people speculated that the Emperor's health was in trouble.
At that time, I couldn't help but feel secretly happy, after all, among the emperor's several adult princes, my own Hongli was the one the emperor valued the most.
But in recent years, for some reason, first there was Consort Shu who gave birth to the Seventh Prince. At that time, many people were a little surprised, but they didn't pay too much attention to it.
Who knew that Consort Yu would give birth to the Fifth Princess, and Consort Shu would give birth to the Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince, twins, and be promoted to Consort Shu. Now even Consort Ning is pregnant with the Emperor's child. Many people are secretly guessing that the Emperor's health has greatly improved.
