These imperial physicians had long known that the Emperor valued De Fei. They had heard that De Fei was much younger than His Majesty and exceptionally beautiful, and that His Majesty doted on her greatly.
Only now are the imperial physicians truly experiencing the Emperor’s favor.
Imperial physicians need to observe, listen, inquire, and palpate. When they first saw De Fei, they all felt that her complexion was still quite rosy; she didn’t seem to have any problems.
But His Majesty summoned so many imperial physicians, which showed how much he valued De Fei.
They lined up one by one to have her pulses taken, and each person’s face initially showed surprise, followed by disbelief.
Then everyone fell silent, not daring to speak.
The Emperor looked at them, his heart filled with rage.
He patiently waited for each of these quack physicians to finish taking her pulse, but none of them spoke.
“What is the truth?” The Emperor asked.
“Who among you will tell us?”
“Your Majesty, please forgive us, but we…we need to discuss this further.”
After that, the imperial physicians stepped back several steps and whispered among themselves in very low voices.
The Emperor looked at them, his anger rising even more.
These quacks!
It seems the Imperial Medical Bureau will have to reintroduce its own physicians.

“What does Imperial Physician Wang think is wrong with De Fei?” Someone asked tentatively.
“I am too ignorant to diagnose anything at all?”
“This… Me too. I wonder if you have any results?”
Even the most experienced and shrewd imperial physicians dared not speak carelessly.
Ironically, it was a young and inexperienced imperial physician who dared to speak up.
“All darens1大人, dàren: adult / grownup / title of respect toward superiors. , are none of you daring to speak today? Is it because you truly couldn’t diagnose it, or are you simply afraid to say it? I have a feeling that De Fei’s pulse suggests that she might be pregnant.”
After he finished speaking, everyone looked up at the same time, and when they met each other’s expressions, what else could they not understand?
Only when so many people reached the same conclusion could everyone be sure that they did not make a mistake in their diagnosis.
It seems that De Fei is indeed pregnant!
No child has been born in this harem for over a decade; only one concubine became pregnant a few years ago.
Apart from that, no woman in the imperial harem has become pregnant in recent years.
This is nothing short of a miracle!
Although they had a general idea in their minds, the imperial physicians still dared not draw any conclusions and asked Nanny Zhang about Xu Lingyi’s menstrual cycle.
It wasn’t until almost a moment later that they finally confirmed it.
“I’ll go and inform His Majesty and Her Highness of this news.” The oldest imperial physician said first.
“I’ll go then. I’ll be the first to say that Her Majesty is pregnant. None of you dared to speak up before, and now you want to curry favor with His Majesty and Her Majesty?”
“Hmph, you all, if you come forward, you probably won’t even be able to speak clearly. I’ve been practicing medicine for decades…”
These imperial physicians all wanted to be the ones to spread the good news.
After all, they could anticipate how excited His Majesty would be.
