Finally, Physician Wang slowly opened his eyes, a hint of seriousness flashing in them.
He also inquired in a low voice about the Empress's recent health condition.
Then Physician Wang walked over to Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, and the two physicians had another serious discussion in hushed tones.
A moment later, the two imperial physicians bowed together and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on your pregnancy, which is now more than two months along."
The Empress's mind went blank for a moment. After a long while, she finally found her voice and asked, "Is the two imperial physicians sure you are not mistaken? Wasn't I unable to conceive a royal child many years ago? How could I possibly be pregnant with a royal child again now?"
Seeing that the Empress had calmed down, Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Although this servant and Physician Wang determined that you are more than two months pregnant with the Emperor's child based on your pulse,..."
At this point, Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, paused for a moment before continuing, "However, we servants are also afraid that our medical skills are not good enough, so we must not announce Your Majesty's pregnancy with the Emperor's child for the time being. We will inform the Emperor first, and then the Emperor will make a decision."
The Empress frowned deeply. She understood the unspoken meaning of Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, and nodded, saying, "Yes, you should go and report to the Emperor first."
Immediately afterwards, the Empress instructed, "Eunuch Fu, please escort the two imperial physicians."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Fu's face was also filled with shock. He only came to his senses after hearing the Empress's order and responded.
Then, Eunuch Fu quickly bowed and said, "Please come this way, two imperial physicians."
After the Imperial Physician Sun, Physician Wang, and Eunuch Fu withdrew, Granny Chun gradually regained her senses and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, is someone trying to harm you? Otherwise, how could this be, how could this be, how could this be?"
Granny Chun continued through gritted teeth, "The results of the two imperial physicians' pulse diagnosis just now indicate that Your Highness is pregnant with the imperial heir."
The Empress's gaze deepened, and she nodded slightly, saying, "Recently, my relationship with the Emperor has become much more harmonious. I guess it's because it's bothered by others. I just don't know who has the ability to drug me without anyone noticing."
Upon hearing the Empress's words, Granny Chun's expression grew even more grave. She said, "Your Majesty, could there be a traitor among you? There are only a handful of people who can get close to you. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't even have the chance to get close to you. It would be very difficult for them to find an opportunity to poison you!"
After pondering for a moment, the Empress's gaze darkened, and she said, "It's not necessarily that there's a traitor among us, Feng Qingyueming. It's possible that the traitor is very capable, which is why they were able to drug me without anyone noticing."
Then the Empress's gaze turned cold, and she ordered, "In any case, Granny Chun, you should first investigate all the servants of our Feng Qing Yue Ming."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Chun Mama replied solemnly.
After Feng Qingyue left, both Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Wang, the heads of the Imperial Medical Academy, breathed a sigh of relief.
After they walked for a while, Physician Wang looked around and, finding no one else nearby, couldn't help but approach Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. He whispered, "Old Sun, do you also think someone is trying to harm Her Majesty the Empress? But based on my experience helping Consort Shu, Consort Yu, and Consort Ning in the Emperor's harem with their pregnancies, it's quite possible that Her Majesty the Empress is indeed pregnant with the Emperor's child."
The Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, also looked grave. He spoke in a low voice, "However, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone has drugged Her Majesty the Empress. You must know that there are some secret medicines that we have never even heard of. Those secret medicines may have the effect of creating a fake pregnancy, so even if you have experience in ensuring the safety of the concubines' pregnancies, they can still deceive you. Her Majesty's pregnancy with the Emperor is a matter of great importance; it is no longer a simple matter within the inner palace. It is also possible that someone from the outer court is interfering."
Upon hearing this, Physician Wang was immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. He whispered, "Old Sun, you don't have to trick me like this. We have some connection, you don't have to rush to have me take the Empress's pulse."
Sun, the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, looked at Wang as if he were a fool and whispered, "You just said that you helped Consort Shu, Consort Yu, and Consort Ning with their pregnancies. Who else should I turn to if not you?"
Physician Wang also looked helpless, and whispered, "I was just stunned after hearing what you just said."
"Alas!" After saying that, Physician Wang couldn't help but sigh.
Then, Physician Wang couldn't help but whisper, "Old Sun, you said someone from the previous dynasty was interfering, but the Empress has no princes under her name, so why would they want to harm the Empress?"
Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "You should know this by now. Not only has Her Majesty the Empress's relationship with the Emperor improved, but her health has also greatly improved. If Her Majesty's health hadn't improved, no matter how harmonious her relationship with the Emperor was, it wouldn't have had a significant impact."
However, the Empress's health has greatly improved. Unlike a few years ago, when even though she held power in the palace, she no longer posed a significant threat to others. Moreover, her relationship with the Emperor has gradually improved; a harmonious relationship between the Emperor and Empress greatly enhances the Empress's influence.
After listening to what the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, Physician Sun, had to say, Physician Wang took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, and then he said in a low voice, "So that's how it is. Sigh, my mind is all jumbled up. I hadn't even thought about these things before. Old Sun, it seems that Her Majesty the Empress may indeed have been given a secret drug by someone else."
At this moment, the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, Sun, said in a solemn voice, "So, the matter of Her Majesty the Empress's pregnancy with the Emperor is of utmost importance. Everyone in the Imperial Medical Academy is destined to be involved. No one can remain uninvolved."
Physician Wang nodded, knowing that what Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, said was true.
The two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
When the Imperial Physician Sun and Physician Wang arrived at the Hall of Diligent Governance, they were stopped by the eunuchs guarding the door.
The head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, Sun, immediately spoke solemnly: "Then please trouble this eunuch to pass on a message to Eunuch Su Peisheng, saying that we two have just come from the Empress's palace and have important matters to report to the Emperor."
Upon hearing that it concerned the Empress's palace, the young eunuch dared not hesitate for a moment. He nodded quickly and ran inside to find Su Peisheng.
