Chapter 468 She is Pregnant_1
When the Imperial Physicians arrived, Xiao Changyi ordered them to examine An Jing and figure out what was wrong with her.
One of the physicians, trembling as he took An Jing’s pulse through a brocade handkerchief, couldn’t believe his eyes. He immediately looked up at her, but promptly remembered that she was the Princess and should not be stared at. His heart pounding with fear, he quickly lowered his head.
Xiao Changyi asked, "What illness has befallen my Princess?"
The physician thought to himself that An Jing couldn’t conceive. If he were to say that she wasn’t ill but instead indicated a slippery pulse, pregnant, with slight signs of a threatened miscarriage, and needed medication to stabilize the pregnancy, wouldn’t the King of Eternal Victory be enraged?
Fearing he had misdiagnosed and might cause the King of Eternal Victory to be so angry that the Emperor of Xiyun would order his beheading, the physician dared not tell the truth. Instead, he said, "Prince, I have not been with the Imperial Hospital for long, and my experience is limited; I cannot discern what illness the Princess has."
"Incompetents! What use is there in my maintaining an Imperial Hospital if it’s filled with such fools?" Xiao Changyi hadn’t even spoken when the Emperor of Xiyun, sitting to the side, began to scold.
The physician immediately knelt before the Emperor of Xiyun, thinking to himself: As long as my head isn’t chopped off, you can scold me however you want, Your Majesty.
Xiao Changyi didn’t even glance at the Emperor of Xiyun and promptly ordered the other Imperial Physicians to examine An Jing quickly.
These physicians also detected a slippery pulse and the need for medication to stabilize the pregnancy, but none dared to speak out. It was well known that the Princess An Jing could not bear children. If they misdiagnosed, they might very well lose their heads. So, like the first physician who took her pulse, they all said they could not determine what illness An Jing had contracted.
Xiao Changyi’s face grew very unsightly.
The Emperor of Xiyun, on the other hand, was furious: "Is my Imperial Hospital just nourishing a bunch of incompetents?!"
