The room was quiet at this moment, with only Yinzhi, Hezhuo, and the two imperial physicians, Liu.
Physician Liu knelt down, sweat beading on his forehead: "This servant will take Princess Fan's pulse. Princess Fan, Princess Fan."
"Princess Fan is suspected to be carrying twins." Doctor Liu was so desperate that sweat poured down his forehead, and the young Doctor Liu was even more overwhelmed, kneeling there with his legs trembling uncontrollably.
"Bang!" Yinzhi reacted strongly, standing up abruptly, causing the stool to fall over.
He Zhuo seemed startled by Yin Zhi's reaction and timidly called out, "Your Highness!"
Yinzhi then looked away from Physician Liu and saw his wife's timid face. He quickly hugged her and comforted her. Hezhuo blushed deeply, "Physician Liu is still here."
The couple relaxed their guard again with serious expressions and began to question Physician Liu.
"How confident is the imperial physician?"
"Eighty percent."
When can we know the sex of the fetus in the womb?
"We will know in a month."
Liu Bajin saw off Physician Liu properly and gave him a large red envelope.
Physician Liu wiped his sweat and walked away nonchalantly. Young Physician Liu was still shaken, but showed no sign of it. He thought of what the eldest prince had just said: "I hope that after I walk out of this door, no fifth person will know."
Seeing his son's condition, Physician Liu inwardly praised him. His eldest son was of mediocre talent and stayed to run the family clinic. His eldest son's two grandsons, though intelligent, were too upright and their personalities were unsuitable for the palace.
On the contrary, the second son is very much like his current wife. He is quite worldly-wise and has good medical skills. If he trains for another ten years or so, he will be as good as his father. So the second son was brought to the palace so that he could gain some experience and leave the palace with Yinzhi.
He felt that as Emperor Kangxi's eldest son, Yinzhi was destined to become a prince. He had been navigating the ups and downs of the harem for decades and was tired of it. He could retire by protecting his youngest son and getting him on board with the eldest prince.
Alas! He's getting old and won't be able to hold office for many more years. His eldest daughter-in-law keeps complaining that he's biased, but actually, he is biased.
However, the favoritism wasn't directed at the youngest son, but at the eldest son. Preventing them from entering the palace was actually a way to protect them. Fortunately, the eldest son and his two grandsons understood the old man's good intentions.
He and his first wife were deeply devoted to each other, and he raised his eldest son and two daughters on his own for more than ten years without remarrying.
His current wife was arranged by Consort Hui. She is gentle and manages everything perfectly. She is knowledgeable about human relationships and gave birth to their youngest son in the second year after they entered the family. Over the years, his heart has long been warmed by his wife.
Physician Liu was grateful to Consort Hui, not only because of his current wife, but also because his two daughters were well-married and living happy lives. All of this was because he was tied to Consort Hui's powerful connections.
However, he is now over fifty years old and needs to plan for the future. He doesn't want his children and grandchildren to enter the quagmire of the harem, so he wants to recommend his youngest son to the eldest prince.
He watched the eldest prince grow up.
He is a person of loyalty and affection.
As long as the youngest son wholeheartedly serves his master, his future will surely be better. The youngest son and the eldest grandson grew up together and had a very good relationship. The eldest son also took good care of the youngest son, and the eldest son's family was also protected.
So it is true that parents' hearts are always full of love and concern. For the sake of his children, Physician Liu went to great lengths.
Thinking about all this, Physician Liu slowly walked back to the Imperial Hospital.
After Physician Liu left, the eldest prince and his wife sat in silence in the main courtyard.
The two had lunch together, during which Yinzhi remained very silent.
Although royal children mature early, Yinzhi was essentially still a 16-year-old boy. He hesitated about how to handle this matter. In ordinary families, twins were a happy event, and even in noble families, twins were not a good thing. However, as long as the child was not the eldest son of the legitimate wife, there would still be some tolerance and hope.
