It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

"But did you eat something bad?"

"Perhaps it's just the beginning of autumn and the temperature has dropped suddenly. Concubine Su has caught a cold and her stomach is uncomfortable."

The concubines were talking and guessing.

Su Wanti finally recovered. She took a deep breath and said:

"Maybe it's the change of seasons. I'll go back and drink some warm water and have a good rest."

Finally, the nanny beside the queen secretly said to the queen:

"Empress, would you like me to call the imperial physician to check Concubine Su's pulse?"

The Queen frowned and whispered:

"Concubine Su is just vomiting. Let her go back to the palace to rest, and then send the imperial physician to her palace to see her and prescribe medicine. There is no need to ask the imperial physician to come here."

Seeing that the queen was not understanding, the nanny explained it more clearly.

"Empress, have you forgotten what the abbot said when you last visited the Royal Temple?"

Hearing this, the queen was startled and clenched her fingers. She looked up at the nanny with a gleam in her eyes.

"Mammy, do you mean that Concubine Su might be pregnant?"

At this moment, her ears seemed to block out all the noisy sounds, and she could only hear her own heartbeat.

The nanny nodded at her and stroked her back gently to calm her down.

Seeing that the Queen's expression had eased, the nanny said:

"Don't get excited, Queen. This is just speculation. Queen, you may not know that women may experience nausea and vomiting in the early stages of pregnancy, but vomiting does not mean that she is pregnant."

"Let's call the imperial physician to check Concubine Su's pulse now. If it's not, forget it. But if it is, wouldn't it be a great joy?"

The nanny had been with the queen for several years and naturally knew what she was thinking. What the queen hoped most was that one of the concubines in the harem would be pregnant with an heir and give birth to a son successfully, so that he could have children for the emperor and pass on his bloodline.

"Quick, go and get the imperial physician here. Mammy, go in person and get an imperial physician who is good at women's medicine and has superb medical skills."

The nanny took the order and went to call the imperial physician.

The queen hurriedly asked the palace maid to bring Su Wanti warm water to rinse her mouth, and also asked the palace maid to add two cushions for her and put them on the back of the chair for her to lean on.

She looked caring and comforted him in a gentle voice:

"Princess Su, please rest here for a while. I have already asked someone to call the imperial physician."

Su Wanti drank the warm water. The warm water made her stomach, which was cramping slightly due to vomiting, feel better. She chuckled and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

"You are so pretentious. If you feel unwell, just go back to the palace and rest. Why do you get sick at the banquet?" The imperial concubine said with a look of disdain.

The queen's heart and eyes were completely on Su Wanti, and she had no time to pay attention to the imperial concubine.

In less than an incense stick of time, the nanny came back with two imperial doctors.

"Why did you invite two imperial doctors for just a minor stomach discomfort? Isn't Concubine Su too pampered?" The concubine was very dissatisfied.

If it were usual, the Queen would have said a few words to the Imperial Concubine, but today, the Queen had no intention of paying any attention to her at all.

She only said to the imperial physician:

"Imperial Physician, Concubine Su is not feeling well. She just kept retching. Please check her pulse and find out the reason."

After hearing the Queen's instructions, a younger imperial physician hurried over to Su Wanti and took her pulse.

This imperial physician has been in the palace for five or six years, and has never diagnosed a pregnancy since then.

He also knew that in the more than ten years since the emperor ascended the throne, none of the concubines in the harem had ever been pregnant.

Therefore, when he found that Concubine Su's pulse was smooth and round, like beads rolling on a jade plate, as if she was pregnant, he did not believe it at first and thought he had made a wrong diagnosis.

Then he examined it carefully for a while before confirming it in his mind.

However, he didn't want to reveal his diagnosis first.

Although he believed in his medical skills, he was still worried that his judgment was wrong, so after he stood up, he first took a step back and then asked another imperial physician to come forward to diagnose.

When the second imperial physician saw that he said nothing, his heart sank, thinking that perhaps this Concubine Su had some incurable disease or an unspeakable illness.

When his fingers rested on Concubine Su's wrist, he finally understood why the imperial physician before him had said nothing after finishing his diagnosis.

This imperial physician had a longer career in the Imperial Medical Bureau, a full twenty years.

He knew the situation in the palace very well, so when he diagnosed the signs of pregnancy, he was also full of disbelief.

Re-diagnosis, still the same!

The imperial physician raised his eyes and looked at his colleague, who was also looking at him.

The moment the two looked at each other, they seemed to understand each other's eyes.

The two imperial doctors have never been so in sync with each other as they are now.

The two imperial doctors stood up and said, "Congratulations to the Queen and the Imperial Concubine!"

Hearing this, the queen understood, and a look of joy crept up her eyebrows and eyes in an instant.

Su Wanti pretended not to understand, with a puzzled look on her face, and said:

"Please explain clearly, Imperial Physician. What are you congratulating me for? I am not feeling well and I am always nauseous and vomiting. What is there to congratulate me for?"

The imperial physician's face was full of smiles, and he said respectfully: "Congratulations, Noble Concubine, you have been pregnant for nearly two months."

"what?"

Su Wanti widened her eyes, as if she totally didn't believe it.

Except for the queen, all the other concubines were also surprised.

The imperial concubine was so anxious that her face turned red. She couldn't control her expression, and her eyes couldn't help twitching. Her voice became shrill.

"She is pregnant? How is that possible? Two imperial doctors, you made the right diagnosis, didn't you? How is that possible? Do you want to ask a few more imperial doctors to come and take a look?"

The two imperial doctors' medical skills were questioned by the imperial concubine, but they did not dare to offend her. They just lowered their heads in silence and stood by.

The queen was displeased and said, "Noble Concubine, please pay attention to your words and actions. You are the head of the four concubines after all. Don't break the rules!"

She turned to Su Wanti and said:

"My dear sister, I knew you were blessed. The abbot was right. You are destined to have many children and good fortune. You can give birth to a child for the emperor and continue his bloodline."

"You are newly pregnant, and the fetus is still unstable in the first three months. You can't be bothered. I will send someone to take you back to the palace. You can rest well in the palace, and you don't need to pay respects to me in the future."

The queen now felt relaxed all over. Looking at Su Wanti was like looking at a pearl, a piece of gold, or a treasure.

On the one hand, she arranged for the palace servants to escort Su Wanti back to the palace in a sedan chair, and on the other hand, she asked the palace servants to go to Xuanzheng Hall quickly to report the good news that Concubine Su was pregnant to the emperor.

----

Inside the Xuan Zheng Hall, the senior palace maid beside the Queen reported to Rong Zhou with a delighted look on her face.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Su is pregnant. The imperial physician said that Concubine Su has been pregnant for nearly two months!"

"what?"

Rong Zhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't believe his ears at all. He thought he had heard it wrong.

"Tell me again, what happened to Concubine Su?" Rong Zhou stopped writing and frowned.

The head maid had no choice but to say it again, "Your Majesty, Concubine Su has been pregnant for nearly two months."

"It was diagnosed by Imperial Doctor Wang and Judge Li together. It is absolutely true."

"Snap" the pen in Rong Zhou's hand broke into two pieces, but the broken pen was still in Rong Zhou's hand. He was stunned and had no idea what he had done.

There was a sharp little bump at the broken part of the red pen, which pierced into Rong Zhou's flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

"You, say it again!" Rong Zhou heard it clearly this time, but he still couldn't believe it. His voice was trembling and he was eager to confirm it again.
