Chapter 563 Diagnosis of Happy Pulse
Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu down, his expression softening slightly, "The Crown Prince is fine, and the battle at sea is going smoothly!"
Lan Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Emperor Shenwu continued, "Just that you haven't been taking pulses properly lately. Although Nie Wushuang is out of the palace, we can ask other imperial physicians to take your pulse! You haven't been sleeping well lately. I have summoned Imperial Physician Zhao to Fengqi Palace!"
Lan Qingwu didn't notice anything wrong, because the Emperor Shenwu always took his health very seriously. She nodded and said, "It's just that after Imperial Physician Nie left, he became a little lax. I'm not used to other Imperial Physicians, so I didn't summon them."
Emperor Shenwu helped Lan Qingwu lie down, waved his hand to open the curtains, and the exquisite curtains immediately hid Lan Qingwu's figure. He sat down beside the bed and said, "Call Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Li!"
Lan Qingwu was surprised to see that the Emperor Shenwu had brought two imperial physicians with him. And the one leading the physicians into the bedroom wasn't Ruping, but Li Zhong. Earlier, he had quietly detained Ruping, Furong, and Lianqi from Fengqi Palace. These were the Empress's closest confidants! The other palace servants and eunuchs were also detained in two separate palaces.
Inside the bedroom, Li Xiang sat in a corner with his head bowed, seemingly invisible. Li Zhong personally entered the bedroom, accompanied by two imperial physicians. The three of them knelt together, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Li Zhong raised his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, there are no outsiders inside or outside the palace!"
There was no one outside the hall, and inside the hall, there were only the emperor, the empress, Li Xiang, Li Zhong, and two imperial physicians, a total of six people.
Lan Qingwu frowned slightly, finally realizing that something was amiss. She looked towards the Shenwu Emperor, but he didn't look back at her. He lowered his eyes slightly and paused for a moment before finally saying, "Take the Queen's pulse!"
Out of trust in Emperor Shenwu, Lan Qingwu did not ask anyone else, but slowly stretched out his snow-white wrist.
Doctor Zhao was the first to examine the patient. He crawled a few steps on his knees to the bed, took the white handkerchief and placed it on Lan Qingwu's snow-white wrist, then stretched out his hand and began to carefully take the patient's pulse!
After examining the patient for nearly a quarter of an hour, Doctor Zhao's expression first flashed with confusion, then joy. However, that joy barely lasted a moment before shock and fear filled his face! Drops of cold sweat streamed down Doctor Zhao's forehead, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
Emperor Shenwu clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice, "How?"
Imperial Physician Zhao suddenly came to his senses. He kowtowed fiercely to the Emperor Shenwu and said, "Your Majesty! I am not an expert in medicine, and I seem to have some doubts. Please allow Imperial Physician Li to examine the Empress' pulse in detail!"
Lan Qingwu didn't feel any discomfort in her body, but seeing Doctor Zhao's reaction so strong, her heart couldn't help but beat "boom boom boom". She wondered if she had some difficult and complicated disease?
Emperor Shenwu signaled Li Imperial Physician to step forward with his eyes. Without further ado, Li knelt beside the bed and began to carefully examine the patient's pulse. Unaware of the situation, Li's face lit up with joy as he declared, "The Empress's pulse is flowing smoothly, and the fingers are round and round, like beads rolling on a jade plate. This is a pregnancy pulse! Furthermore, the Empress's pregnancy is almost two months old! Congratulations, Your Majesty and the Empress!"
Doctor Li then whispered, "That's not right! Doctor Zhao, you can't even diagnose such an obvious slippery pulse? With your medical skills, how could you not diagnose such a simple slippery pulse!"
Doctor Li's tactlessness made Doctor Zhao, who knew the inside story, very desperate. He simply closed his eyes and stopped looking at him. Emperor Shenwu's face had already become as dark as water. His gloomy face finally made the blind Doctor Li shut his mouth silently, and he moved back tremblingly.
Li Xiang was stunned in the corner! Lan Qingwu was equally stunned. She couldn't believe it; she hadn't felt like she was about to become a mother again. Then she realized something was wrong and opened her eyes wide. "Wait! You're saying I'm pregnant? And it's almost been two months! But two months ago was March, the month of prayers and sacrifices for the late emperor. There's no way I could be pregnant!"
Lan Qingwu finally understood where that slight feeling of unease had come from. At that moment, the bedroom was empty and silent, while the room was filled with the Emperor's trusted aides. Ruping hadn't come in to keep him company for such a long time! She looked at the Emperor's gloomy face and bit her lip anxiously, "Your Majesty, you won't believe this! Weak..."
Emperor Shenwu waved his hand and dismissed Doctor Li: "Get out first!"
Doctor Li had long been bewildered by the strange atmosphere in the dormitory. Hearing Lan Qingwu's words, he shuddered, but he didn't dare stay any longer and crawled out of the dormitory. However, as soon as he got outside, someone held down his arms and dragged him away.
