Xu Lingyi noticed that the imperial physicians seemed to be arguing. The Emperor’s gaze also turned toward them, his face darkening.
“What are you doing? Get over here right now!”
The Emperor’s anger was quite frightening; the imperial physicians immediately rushed over and knelt down.
“How is De Fei?” The Emperor asked coldly, his voice as sharp as ice.
The imperial physicians dared not argue, and in the end, it was the oldest physician who spoke up.
“Your Majesty… We have discussed this for a long time and unanimously believe that Her Majesty is pregnant!”
The Emperor suddenly stood up and was stunned for several seconds before he reacted: “You… what did you say?”
The Emperor strode forward, walked up to the imperial physician who had spoken, pressed his shoulder, and stared intently into his eyes.
He looked dazed: “Say it again. Are you really sure?”
This was the first time the man had been so close to the Emperor, and he was very nervous, but he still spoke up again: “Your Majesty, Her Highness is indeed pregnant. We originally dared not make a conclusion casually, but all the imperial physicians present have reached the same conclusion.”
The Emperor had many thoughts in his mind, and he suddenly remembered the incident with Zhang Cairen.
When he first learned that Zhang Cairen was suspected of being pregnant, he had just finished the morning court session and almost couldn’t stand up.
His hands trembled with excitement, which showed just how overjoyed he was.
He was overjoyed, and on the way there, he had already planned to promote Zhang Cairen’s rank, at least to the rank of Fei.
Once her pregnancy was stable and she gave birth to a child, if it was a prince, she would be made empress.
His son could only be the legitimate son.
Zhang Cairen’s family also needed to be rewarded. Since Zhang Cairen’s family background was too low, he could only try to elevate her father and brothers, as well as Zhang Cairen’s mother.
He thought a lot about it.
Even though he didn’t like Zhang Cairen, he would also cherish Zhang Cairen for the sake of the child in her womb.
In the end, it turned out to be a scam that led to death.
He still remembered the utter disappointment he felt at that time; it was the height of summer, but his heart felt as if it were immersed in an ice cellar.
He banished Zhang Cairen to the cold palace, but that wasn’t enough. A few days later, he ordered Zhang Cairen’s death.
The Emperor looked directly at Xu Lingyi and then glanced at the group of imperial physicians kneeling on the ground.
He knew that Xu Lingyi wouldn’t lie to him as Zhang Cairen did.
Besides, with so many imperial physicians, even if they weren’t highly skilled, it was impossible for them all to make the wrong diagnosis.
Moreover, since Xu Lingyi entered the palace, nearly four months had passed, and he had spent almost every day in her palace.
Since Xu Lingyi and he were inseparable, it was possible that she became pregnant.
