Chapter 290 Consultation
Rong Que finished his morning court session and recruited another imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
"What disease can linger for days, with frequent headaches, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and constant sleepiness?"
According to Su Qingqing's symptoms, Rong Que asked the imperial physician.
The imperial physician looked at Rong Que's expression and asked, "Your Highness, have you been worrying too much these days?"
Rong Que's eye sockets were dark, which was obviously because he did not sleep well. He looked energetic... but he felt nauseous. Could it be that the stagnation of Qi and blood caused the stomach meridian to be blocked?
The imperial physician was just thinking about it when Rong Que shook his head and smiled, "It's not me."
The imperial physician paused, thinking, Isn’t it Your Majesty?
Who could possibly deserve such concern from His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, we still need to take the pulse to see it more accurately. Just describing it cannot fully explain the symptoms."
Rong Que smiled bitterly, "I am asking you this because it is not convenient to take your pulse. If it were convenient, why would I bother to say this?"
There was a flash of surprise in the imperial physician's eyes.
Inconvenient to take pulse?
Who else could be of concern to the Emperor but for whom it is inconvenient to take his pulse?
As the thought came to his mind, the imperial physician was stunned.
sky!
Could it be that His Majesty has someone else in his heart, and his new love has some disease, but His Majesty is afraid that the Empress will make a fuss if she finds out, so he dares not say anything?
The more the imperial physician thought about it, the more he felt that his guess made sense.
Suddenly there was a hint of condemnation in his eyes.
People say that you should demolish the bridge after crossing it. But you haven't crossed the river yet, the political situation is still unstable, and we don't know what tricks Da Qi will play. And you already want to demolish the bridge?
no!
As an imperial physician who came to the palace from the Prince's Mansion, I know how good our Queen is.
The kingdom you have today was fought for you by the Empress. In Datong, without the Empress, you would still be dreaming of ascending the throne. Go and eat your ass!
After complaining in his heart, the imperial physician made up a lie with a sincere face, "Your Majesty, why don't you describe the symptoms in more detail, otherwise it is difficult for me to diagnose the disease. For example, whether the patient is a man or a woman, how old he is, and his daily living habits, all of these need to be taken into consideration."
Rong Que looked at the imperial physician and said, "She is a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her lifestyle...she suffered a lot in her early years, exposed to the wind and sun..."
Having said that, Rong Que suddenly felt something was wrong.
The current Su Qingqing uses the body of Princess Zhaoguo. She never suffered any hardship in her early years, as she grew up in luxury.
"In the early years, I lived a comfortable life and was pampered. In the past six months, I have suffered a lot from the wind and sun. As for now, I am about the same as me, but I may be a little depressed."
The imperial physician pondered.
Life was good in the early years, but it has been bad in the past six months. This is the six months since you left Kyoto.
how?
So you took this person with you when you left Kyoto?
Our Queen is working hard for you in the front, and you are hiding a mistress in the golden house behind ?
If the person in front of him was not the emperor, the imperial physician would have taken off his shoes and beaten him.
What the hell!
"No, these descriptions are not convenient for diagnosis. I still cannot make a judgment. Your Majesty, since he is ill, he has already started to lose his appetite. You also said that he is a little depressed. What I mean is that we should see him in person as soon as possible and not delay his condition.
Many incurable diseases are caused by delaying the treatment of minor illnesses.”
Rong Que originally just wanted to get a result from the imperial physician indirectly, but he didn't expect the imperial physician to say this to him.
incurable disease?
These four words really scared Rong Que, but he soon realized that he was overthinking it.
If Su Qingqing really had an incurable disease, would she not let him touch her because of this incurable disease?
In fact, Rong Que already had a guess in his mind, but he just wanted to confirm it from the imperial physician. He didn't expect that the imperial physician's skills were not good enough. Even after he made it so clear, the imperial physician was still confused and couldn't even say one, two, three.
Rong Que waved his hand irritably, "Alright, go ahead."
Seeing that he was getting annoyed, the imperial physician did not dare to say much, but he was afraid that if the emperor did not get the answer from him and ended up asking someone else, wouldn't his procrastination and deception be exposed?
And it becomes meaningless.
After hesitating for a moment, the imperial physician withdrew while reminding Rong Que, "Your Majesty, the relationship between the Empress and Your Majesty is the most unique I have ever seen in my life.
The imperial family certainly has many frustrations of its own, but as an old man who has followed you from the Prince's Mansion, I still have some honest advice that may be unpleasant to hear.
Your Majesty, please do not forget our old friendship just because you are on a high place.
No matter how good a new love is, it is not as good as the old love that has been tested a hundred times."
Rong Que was so stunned by the imperial physician!
What does this old man mean?
He was stunned
The imperial physician shuddered.
Is it possible that the emperor will punish him just because his honest advice was unpleasant to the ear?
Oh!
The little vixen is really not a good thing. How long has it been since the emperor became so intolerant and unwilling to listen to advice?
The imperial physician lowered his head and paused, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
Rong Que looked at him with an indescribable expression, "The patient I'm talking about is the Queen."
The imperial physician seemed to not understand and was stunned for a moment. Then he looked up at the emperor in astonishment, "Is it the Empress?"
Rong Que said coldly, "Can you diagnose it?"
The imperial physician blushed and said, "Yes."
Licking his lips awkwardly, with his face burning, he carefully recalled what Rong Que had just said, and the imperial physician asked, "Your Majesty, how long has the queen been suffering from this symptom?"
Rong Que thought about it carefully and said, "Let's start from around the time when I ascended the throne."
The imperial physician asked again, "Your Majesty, do you remember the Empress's childhood?"
Rong Que already had some doubts in his mind, but when the imperial physician asked him this, his heart tightened and he gave a date.
The imperial physician immediately counted on his fingers, and then his face was filled with joy, "Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the pulse of the queen."
Rong Que's heartbeat went from boom-boom-boom to boom-boom-boom-boom.
"Sure?"
He stood up, leaning on the table.
The doctor said, "It's almost certain, but to confirm the diagnosis and see what the fetus looks like, we still need to feel the pulse."
Rong Que's eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy, "Just pretend you don't know about this, and don't mention it to anyone."
The imperial physician was stunned and didn't understand the reason. Just as he was about to speak, Rong Que said, "The Queen and I are doing very well, a thousand times better than you and your wife. I don't need your advice!"
Imperial Physician:!
What are you talking about!
It's fine as long as you are fine, why are you dragging me down like this?
Dare not speak out, angry, the imperial physician left with his medicine box full of doubts.
As soon as he left, Rong Que excitedly came out from behind the desk and walked out with big strides. Minglu followed him on the side, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to just go over there like this."
Of course it is inappropriate.
Su Qingqing obviously knew that she was pregnant and had concealed the fact. Rong Que rushed over in a hurry with a happy face. What would he say after he got there?
However, Rong Que's rapid strides did not pause or slow down at all.
"It's appropriate. Don't worry. I know what to say. Since she doesn't want me to know, I will just pretend that she doesn't know yet. You should pay attention. Nanny Xu and Jixiang will definitely check all her food expenses. You can check them separately, but don't let them get suspicious."
Minglu will naturally follow the order.
The Queen's bedroom.
When Rong Que entered, he saw a figure standing by the small lotus pond. The clothes that person was wearing were a bit similar to the ones Su Qingqing usually wore, but not exactly the same.
Her height was about the same as Su Qingqing's, but in the sunlight Rong Que could recognize at a glance that it was not Su Qingqing.
