Chapter 407: The Empress' Hidden Illness

Suddenly, a trace of disbelief flashed across the faces of the three imperial physicians, which then turned into self-doubt. The three of them lowered their heads slightly and looked at each other quietly, exchanged glances, and then, under the leadership of Doctor Chen, walked back to the Emperor and Empress.

"I, your humble servant, beg the emperor to allow us to take your pulses again." Doctor Chen's face was full of fear as he said this, and he bowed as low as he could.

Originally, everyone who was leisurely drinking tea and had not taken the matter seriously was stunned when they heard the words, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

The three doctors' faces were covered with sweat. The few breaths seemed to be several months long to them.

The Emperor was the first to react. His face changed and he almost knocked over the tea bowl beside him. He looked at the three people and asked sternly, "Emperor and Empress? What happened to them? Is there anything wrong with their bodies?"

At this time, Doctor Chen and the other two could no longer stand. Their legs softened and they knelt down. "Please allow us to check your pulse again before we can confirm it."

"Hurry, hurry up, check them carefully for me." The old master of the Situ family hurriedly responded, leaning forward, with a look on his face that showed he wanted to go up and pick up the three people.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Compared to the other people's instantly changed expressions, the Empress, the old Patriarch Feng, and the other four Patriarch Feng, who were originally confident, could not help but flash a look of suspicion on their faces, and they could not help but look at each other. Could there be other hidden secrets that the four of them did not know?

The three imperial doctors wiped the sweat off their faces with their sleeves, then stood up, calmed themselves, and once again placed three fingers of their right hands on the wrists of the emperor and empress.

The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the three doctors who were taking the patient's pulse.

After half a cup of tea, seeing the three doctors' faces all with an expression of disbelief but having to believe, everyone's heart sank. The excitement and joy of reunion just now disappeared instantly.

"Tell me the truth about what's going on." After Wang Huang glanced at Meixiang's expressionless face, he turned his gaze to Doctor Chen.

Although it is possible for one person to misdiagnose a pulse, the probability of three people misdiagnosing a pulse at the same time is almost impossible. However, with this result, the three people exchanged glances again, and their faces turned a few shades paler than the paper they were writing on.

If this result were to be made known, it would be unknown whether the three of them would be able to walk out of the Princess's Mansion standing today. Trembling, they knelt on the ground again, and did not dare to speak.

Seeing the three of them like this, the usually calm Patriarch Chu could no longer sit still and asked directly, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating so much?"

The three people kneeling on the ground looked at each other, and no one dared to speak. If this word were to get out today, the whole Haoyue would be in an uproar.

"Doctor Liu, you speak." Seeing that it was getting late, the emperor directly called on Doctor Liu's name.

"Yes," Doctor Liu secretly groaned inwardly, forcing himself to gather his strength and organize his words. He closed his eyes, trembling his lips and replied fearlessly, "According to our diagnosis: the emperor and the empress have lost their fertility."

The room fell into dead silence again. The three people who were crawling on the ground felt that the gazes cast on them were about to pierce them alive, when they finally heard a female voice that was like the sound of nature again.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Yes, I guarantee it with my life and property." Doctor Sun, who was trembling with fear a second ago, immediately replied with his neck stiffened upon hearing this.

People can question him on anything except his medical skills. This has been the bottom line for Old Sun in his medical practice for most of his life.

"So how long do you think it has been?" Meixiang seemed not to notice his excited expression and continued to ask as if no one was around.

"Well," Doctor Sun didn't dare to speak arbitrarily anymore. He turned around and looked at Doctor Liu and Doctor Li. After getting their confirmation, although the three of them didn't understand why Meixiang was so obsessed with this question, they still spoke carefully: "In my opinion, it has been at least twelve or thirteen years."

Meixiang smiled and nodded when she heard this. He was indeed a famous doctor in the palace. The pulse he diagnosed was almost the same as the truth.

Turning her head to look at the three people kneeling on the ground in fear, Meixiang added a hint of coercion in her tone when she spoke again: "Please remember what you said here today. You have worked hard on this trip. Go down and rest."

The three of them couldn't help but radiate surprise. They really didn't expect that they had learned such a shocking secret. Not only did they walk out of the house safely, but they also received a word of "thank you for your hard work" from the eldest princess.

Tuan Tuan bowed, and the three of them staggered out of the main room one by one.

Wang Huang and the others watched Mei Xiang and the three imperial doctors talking back and forth. Before they could react, Mei Xiang issued a second order: "Who is guarding outside? Go and ask Ying Mei to bring Xiao Shi Ba and the others over."

"Miss, it's me." The sound of leaving footsteps was followed by the reply of Xiao San.

"Xiang girl, what are you doing?" The old master Chu, who had finally found his voice, took the opportunity to ask.

In less than half a cup of tea, they deeply realized Mei Xiang's style of doing things, which Chu Zeming and others mentioned more than once in the letter, as well as the full praise and admiration reflected between the lines of the letter.

It was at this time that they remembered that Meixiang was also a doctor, and a doctor with quite good medical skills.

Since Chu Zeming and Patriarch Sun's difficult diseases could be cured, there was no reason for her not to know the beautiful woman's physical condition over the years. Thinking of this, and looking at Mei Xiang's calm expression from beginning to end, the originally frantic hearts of the people in the room slowly calmed down and looked at what was going on.

Soon, Mei Ying brought his dozen brothers and sisters into the main hall and knelt on the ground. In order to prevent the two youngest children, Xiao Shiqi and Xiao Shiba, from saying the wrong thing again, he and Xiao San brought the two of them with them.

Facing the curious and puzzled looks of Wang Huang and the others, Meixiang did not beat around the bush because there were still many things to come. She directly stated her intention: "There are eighteen of them in total, all orphans who don't know who their parents or family members are. When I took them in, he..."

Meixiang pointed at Xiao Shiba who was kneeling beside Meiying and continued, "He couldn't even kneel steadily at that time. He had just had a serious illness and was almost beyond rescue."

"Xiao Shiba, what did you call me?" Meixiang suddenly asked softly to Xiao Shiba, who was kneeling on the ground and staring at her with his big round eyes.

"Miss!"

"What about her?" Meixiang turned and pointed at the beautiful woman and continued to ask.
