QT: TPE Chapter 32.2

The imperial physician arrived quickly; Xu Lingyi and the Emperor had just returned to her palace when the physician arrived.

“Imperial physician, you’d better hurry! De Fei and His Majesty are waiting for you. Given His Majesty’s favor toward De Fei, if anything happens to her, do you and I expect to get away with it?”

The imperial physician was covered in sweat and panted as he said, “It’s already very fast, Chief Eunuch Zhang. If you run any faster, my old bones will break.”

Upon entering the hall, the imperial physician was once again tightly pulled aside.

“Imperial physician, please go and see my Master quickly!”

Chun Hua was unaware that Xu Lingyi was pregnant; she simply thought that her master had really fainted, so she was extremely anxious.

The imperial physician hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and resignedly rushed inside.

Upon entering the hall, the Emperor urged him to take a look as soon as he stepped inside.

But when he looked up, he realized that the woman was just a little pale and didn’t seem to have any serious problems.

As a result, he was rushed along the way, as if De Fei was about to die.

What kind of mess was this?

The next second, as he reached out to take his pulse, his expression grew increasingly strange.

Seeing the imperial physician’s expression change repeatedly, the Emperor asked directly, “How is De Fei? Tell me quickly!”

The imperial physician dared not speak.

He actually diagnosed that De Fei seemed to be pregnant.

He must have made a mistake in his diagnosis. Perhaps he was walking too fast on the road and hadn’t calmed down enough, so he even misread the pulse.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. Perhaps my breathing has not yet calmed down, and I made a mistake in diagnosis. Your Majesty, please allow me to rest for a moment and examine Her Highness again.”

The imperial physician knelt on the ground; he had no choice. It was better for the Emperor to blame him than to make a wrong diagnosis.

The Emperor said coldly, “I’ll give you some time. Take a good look.”

“Your Majesty, I’m sure I’ll be alright.” Xu Lingyi asked, feigning fear.

The Emperor’s heart also tightened, but he still patted Xu Lingyi’s back and gently comforted her: “My beloved consort is still so young, so what could possibly happen to you? Don’t worry.”

Xu Lingyi stopped speaking.

The two masters in the hall were staring at him, and the imperial physician was under immense pressure.

Sweat slowly began to bead on his forehead.

The Emperor waited for a few minutes.

“Come and take her pulse again. This time, I want the result. If you make excuses again, I think you can stop being an imperial physician and go home to farm.”

“Your Majesty, please forgive me.” The imperial physician knelt before Xu Lingyi, filled with fear and trepidation, and took her pulse once more.

His eyes closed and opened again. The sweat on his forehead fell onto his eyes, then slid down his face and dripped onto the ground.

It was still a positive pregnancy test.

The imperial physician was stunned.

Is De Fei pregnant?

“How is it?” The Emperor asked.

The imperial physician dared not speak at all. The matter of the imperial heir was far too important. If it were an ordinary emperor, he would certainly tell the truth. But His Majesty had not had a child for so many years. If he misdiagnosed the imperial heir, not only would he lose his head, but his family would also be implicated.

After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment; he dared not say that.

And it was indeed possible that he misdiagnosed the pulse.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty.”

The imperial physician stammered, but failed to utter a single useful piece of information.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty, I’m incompetent.”

The Emperor kicked him: “Is this the kind of incompetent fool the Imperial Medical Bureau usually raises?”

Xu Lingyi knew why the imperial physician dared not speak up; it was simply because he was afraid of being held responsible for a wrong diagnosis.

Everyone knows that His Majesty has no children, and everyone also knows that His Majesty longs for children.

There was only one imperial physician, so of course, he dared not draw any conclusions casually.

The imperial physician was kicked, and it wasn’t a light kick, but he immediately got up and knelt on the ground.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. My skills are not good enough, so I dare not make a hasty judgment. The Imperial Medical Bureau is full of talented people. I ask Your Majesty to summon all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau.”

Xu Lingyi smiled inwardly; this imperial physician was quite interesting.
