The eyes of all the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were focused on Doctor Wang who was kneeling on the ground.

When he was suddenly summoned and heard the emperor's questions, Doctor Wang suddenly lost his confidence.

Seeing that he didn't respond, "You don't need to think too much, just answer truthfully," said the emperor.

"Your Majesty is in good health." Doctor Wang lowered his head and replied after turning his eyes around twice.

Hearing this, the emperor's breath tightened, and he looked at Doctor Wang again with a much more serious look. Over the years, he had never raised any questions about his health, and although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't take it too seriously.

Now, hearing it from Doctor Wang himself, it was a completely different story.

"Are you sure?" the emperor asked.

Doctor Wang paused for a few breaths, and finally heard him reply, "Yes."

"Good, good, very good." The emperor looked at him coldly again, and then ordered: "Call the two imperial doctors Chen Yizheng, Li, and Sun."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at each other, unable to guess what the emperor was doing.

Only Doctor Wang, who was kneeling aside and originally hoping for luck, was trembling in his heart and had a dejected look on his face.

Soon, three imperial doctors rushed over, without even having time to change their mud-stained clothes.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you all." Doctor Chen and the other two knelt down to greet him. "Your Majesty, I am trying to grow new herbs, so I am not dressed properly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"No problem. I'm here to ask you." The emperor's eyes flickered. "On the day when the queen and the eldest princess entered the city, did you ever feel the queen's and my pulse?"

Fearing that the three of them might hold back without knowing the truth, he added, "Don't worry, just tell me the truth."

Doctor Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, the four old patriarchs, Chu, Feng, Situ and Master Feng Sanye were all present at the time."

"By the way, before the eldest princess entered the city, she sent someone to inform us to wait in the princess's mansion. Many people in the Imperial Hospital can testify to this." Doctor Chen added.

Imperial doctors Li and Sun also nodded.

"Okay, then I'll ask you again, how are the Queen and I doing?"

Hearing this, the three imperial doctors suddenly raised their heads and looked at the emperor and the four elders with puzzled expressions.

This is the private matter of the Emperor and Empress. Can it be announced in public?

The three of them suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing across the back of their necks, and they shivered violently.

"Answer truthfully without hiding anything."

Doctor Chen took the opportunity to wipe his sweat and glanced at the head of the Feng family who was standing next to him.

Recently, due to the treatment of old lady Feng, he often traveled between the Imperial Hospital and Feng Mansion. A few times when it was too late, he even stayed directly in Feng Mansion, so he could be considered a semi-acquaintance with the head of the Feng family.

Seeing the Feng family members looking at him for help, he nodded slightly, and Doctor Chen finally felt relieved.

There was no more hesitation in what he said, "The three of us have confirmed again and again that both the emperor and the empress have had a hidden illness for twelve years."

"What? What's the hidden disease?"

"How serious is it? Is there any hope of recovery?"

The second and third princes' exclamations were heard in the hall at the first moment, attracting everyone's attention.

Why did these two people, who had been calm and indifferent just now, react so violently now?

Doctor Chen gritted his teeth and added, "There are obstacles in the couple's sexual life, and it may be difficult to have children."

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Chen bowed his head and knelt deeply, followed by Doctors Sun and Li.

These few short words indeed caused a great uproar in the hearts of the ministers. No one understood better than those of them what offspring meant to a dynasty and an emperor, especially when there was no male heir born yet.

For a moment, the huge Hall of Supreme Harmony was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The only sound was the breathing of Doctor Chen and the other two who were trying hard to control.

Suddenly, the Second Prince's stern voice rang in everyone's ears. At the same time, the Third Prince's tightly clenched hands hanging on both sides of his body suddenly relaxed.

"Doctor Chen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. You can't afford the consequences of lying!"

Hearing this, Doctor Chen's body trembled again. The doctor's principles of practice overcame the psychological fear. He tried his best to control his tone and replied, "I would not dare to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor even if I had ten courage."

Everyone's eyes turned to the two imperial doctors, Sun and Li, who were kneeling on the ground and had not spoken a word.

"Imperial Physician Sun, Imperial Physician Li?" The Second Prince's eyes flashed red as he shouted harshly.

Seeing the Second Prince's seemingly concerned but actually impatient look, Wang Huang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, looked at him deeply with an unclear expression, and opened his mouth to say something.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw the emperor sitting there with a serious face, he sighed and closed his eyes again.

This sigh expresses the hero's old age. His children and grandchildren have all grown up and have their own ideas and ambitions. As an elder, being partial will only hurt everyone's feelings.

Forget it, forget it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let go when it is time to let go. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and fortune are in the hands of God. Just let them go.

All the obsession that Wang Huang Panheng had held in his heart for many years disappeared with this sigh.

His entire temperament changed drastically, and the other three old patriarchs, who had been silently paying attention to him, finally let go of their worries.

He closed his slightly narrowed eyes and became a complete spectator.

Your Highness, seeing the two imperial doctors showing no reaction, the Second Prince impatiently continued to ask: "Imperial Doctor Sun, Imperial Doctor Li? Have you made a clear diagnosis?"

You can question his character, but you can never question his medical ethics or skills!

"I can guarantee with my life that the pulses of the Emperor and Empress did show that their marital life was not harmonious, especially that of the Emperor." Imperial Doctor Sun was no longer afraid. With a red face, he raised his head, stiffened his neck and replied timidly.

"Indeed, the three of us have confirmed it again. It's just that having offspring is a little difficult. If... it's not impossible." Doctor Li, who has always been cautious, followed suit.

The scene fell silent again. The medical ethics and skills of these three people were well-known throughout the Imperial Hospital.

Especially this Imperial Physician Sun, who was upright, devoted to medical skills, and fearless of power. For him to say such words, it was obvious that the Empress' illness was 100%.

A flash of joy flashed across the Second Prince's face, while the Third Prince kept his head down and never raised it from beginning to end.

"Is there still hope of recovery?" the emperor suddenly interrupted.
