Chapter 330 The Imperial Physician is Worried
Concubine Qin looked at Doctor Li and pointed at him to answer, but she heard Doctor Li say, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am just ashamed that my son is not well-trained and cannot be used for a big job. I am also not very talented and well-educated. If I really had that ability, everyone would have known it long ago."
What this meant was nothing more than that if it wasn't really incurable, there would be no news of Shen Qing's offspring having difficulties in the first place.
After all, Shen Qing's offspring had been in trouble for several years.
Qinpin understood the implication of his words, but still doubted him and asked, "Is it really incurable?"
Doctor Li sighed and said, "How dare I deceive your Majesty?"
No matter how suspicious Concubine Qin was, she knew that she couldn't ask anything.
Doctor Li then said, "I will go and prescribe a prescription for your Majesty."
Only then did Concubine Qin nod.
Wan Zhao hurriedly led Doctor Li out. He was also worried after hearing what he had just heard. Instead, he felt relieved because the doctor didn't say anything. After Doctor Li wrote the prescription, he saw that Doctor Li also stuffed his wallet with money. This was offending people. It was better not to offend anyone in the palace if possible.
Doctor Li was so resentful of Concubine Qin's threat that he was not willing to accept the money, but he had no choice but to accept it. Was it obvious that he didn't like Concubine Qin?
Of course he accepted the money, but he could no longer hide his dissatisfaction after seeing Concubine Qin.
In the imperial physician's mind, the emperor's majesty is unquestionable, and he dare not disrespect him. At the same time, the emperor did not mention his family. This Concubine Qin is really something. She mentioned his family directly on the first day. The key point is that the imperial physician has no choice. The Qin family is a noble family. What else can he do?
He wanted to tell the emperor about this, but he was afraid that the emperor would directly punish Concubine Qin. If it were in the past, the imperial physician would not think that the emperor would punish Concubine Qin for Concubine Xi. After all, it was just a guess, and Concubine Qin did not do anything.
But now Concubine Xi is in favor. The newly pregnant Concubine Xi is the apple of the emperor's eye. Judging from the degree of his care for her, he is the one who knows from the beginning to the end how much the emperor wants Concubine Xi to be pregnant.
Even if Concubine Qin does nothing at this moment, the fact that the Emperor has deliberately concealed Concubine Xi's pregnancy from the Emperor, if it gets out, the Emperor will also make some movement, but this movement will not necessarily mean a punishment for Concubine Qin. Since he will not punish her all at once, it would let Concubine Qin know that he had informed her, and that would be really bad.
The imperial physician was at a loss. He thought over and over again. If he didn't tell anyone, then if something happened later, he would be considered guilty of not reporting the truth and would still be beheaded. If he told anyone, it would be useless because Concubine Qin would know about it. She was his son from birth. What would he say?
But he was really worried to death.
But just as he was worrying about this, he suddenly thought of a solution.
Imperial Doctor Li did nothing on the spot, pretending that nothing had happened. But now that Concubine Xi had sprained her ankle, the doctor came in handy.
The next day, Doctor Li took the initiative to ask to see Shen Qing.
In order to conceal Chen Qing's tracks, the imperial physician was rarely summoned. The ankle sprain was so sudden that she was frightened on the spot. The imperial physician should have been sensible and would wait for her to take his pulse the next time he came.
Shen Qing felt that this matter was unusual. Sure enough, when the imperial physician saw her, he knelt down in front of her and bowed deeply: "Empress Xi, I am guilty."
Not to mention Fang Yun, Shen Qing was also shocked when she saw the imperial physician's appearance, but her first reaction was: "What? Misdiagnosis? This palace actually has no children?"
Imperial Physician: “…”
All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He had been brewing the lines for a long time, but Shen Qing's words made him unable to say anything.
Fang Yun also looked at Chen Qing in confusion, not understanding why Chen Qing had such an idea. Shouldn't her first reaction at this time be that there was something wrong with her body?
After a long while, the imperial physician managed to utter: "It is not a misdiagnosis."
Shen Qingcai said: "Doctor, stop kneeling, stand up and talk."
Imperial Physician: “…” I always feel that the Empress doesn’t seem to care that much about this child.
Of course, he didn't dare to say this. He had already thought about what he was doing here today. The imperial physician got up from the ground and exhaled a breath of air: "Yesterday, Concubine Qin suddenly summoned me and asked me if I could cure infertile people."
Shen Qing frowned immediately.
Doctor Li immediately clarified: "Of course I am saying that I don't have such ability, but I am really worried. I feel that Concubine Qin's question is not groundless."
Chen Qing looked at Doctor Li with some subtle feelings in his heart. This doctor was also a wonderful person. Xuanyuan Ling had personally ordered that the news should not be spread out. Now Concubine Qin had become suspicious for some reason. He did not report to Xuanyuan Ling but came to talk to her instead.
She naturally knew why the imperial physician did not dare to tell Xuanyuan Ling. Once Xuanyuan Ling knew about this, he would definitely take action. The imperial physician was afraid of offending Concubine Qin, and did not dare to hide it. However, she was grateful that he could tell her about it.
"Thank you, Doctor Li, for telling me. I know. If I have any doubts in the future, I will tell His Majesty. I don't have many people I can trust around me now. After all, I need to be extra careful when I'm pregnant. I need the doctor to take more care of me."
The imperial physician had been treating Shen Qing before and had received many benefits from Shen Qing. Now that she said that there were not many people around her whom she could trust, it was obvious that she was trying to win her over. Concubine Xi was pregnant now, and she would have more blessings in the future. She could say this because she intended to promote her.
The imperial physician knew what was going on and was now sincerely working for Shen Qing. With her words, he was at least safe in front of the emperor.
Doctor Li became more respectful to Shen Qing.
When Doctor Li left, Shen Qing hadn't spoken yet, but Fang Yun knelt down: "Your Majesty, this servant has never betrayed you."
Chen Qing knew why Fang Yun mentioned this. The only people who knew about this were Xuanyuan Ling, Zhao Hai, Fang Yun and herself. Why could Concubine Qin be suspicious for no reason? The first person she thought of should be someone who knew the truth.
But Shen Qing asked her to get up: "If I doubt you, will I still be able to live?"
Fang Yun was the person she had been using from the very beginning, and they had experienced a lot together. If more people knew about it, she would suspect that there was a traitor among the people she served.
But only a few people knew about it. If it was really Fang Yun, there would be no need for Concubine Qin to test the imperial physician. She could just confirm that she was pregnant and take action against her.
Now we can still ask the imperial physician, but that means there is no confirmation.
Chen Qing said: "There is no need to publicize this matter first. You should do what you should do in your daily life. It's fine to know. Since she is still testing, it can be seen that she has not confirmed it. This matter... just pretend that you don't know for now."
"Your Highness?" Fang Yun asked cautiously, "Don't you need to tell the Emperor?"
Chen Qing smiled after hearing this: "Not now." As soon as he said this, Xuanyuan Ling immediately went to deal with Concubine Qin. It was satisfying, but she was just asking for information. Even if she had a motive, what crime could she be charged with if she hadn't done anything?
She said, "Keep an eye on her subsequent actions."
