Chapter 1155 - 1149: Confounding Right and Wrong
Having understood the Empress’s intention, the Imperial Physicians were actually relieved.
Imperial Physician Cui boldly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Empress, motherhood is not something that can be faked. This old subject dares not speak rashly. The pulse of the Crown Prince’s consort indeed shows she has just given birth and furthermore... If the Empress does not believe it, she may personally inspect her abdomen. An abdomen that has been stretched by pregnancy will not return to its original state without completing the postnatal recovery period, and there are also stretch marks, all of which cannot be feigned."

The other Imperial Physicians all agreed with Imperial Physician Cui, nodding their heads in approval one after another.
