”Yes, Your Majesty, this humble subject will do his best.”
After saying that, the imperial physician walked over to Qin Feng with a cold sweat, picked up Qin Feng's wrist and started to feel her pulse.
The Imperial Physician's face grew more and more solemn, and fine beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
After a long while, the imperial physician was still pinching Qin Feng's wrist, but the beads of sweat on her forehead were growing more and more, and her hand was also starting to tremble slightly.
”What's wrong with the empress?”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he stared at the Imperial Physician's face. The Imperial Physician was already scared out of his wits.
”To reply your majesty, this humble subject really can't see what kind of illness the empress has.”
The imperial physician knelt on the ground as he spoke, but his legs were still shaking.
When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard the Imperial Physician's words, he wanted to get angry, but on second thought, he realized that the Imperial Physician's medical skills were inferior to Qin Feng's.
Thinking about that, Xuanyuan Zhiling held back the anger in his chest.
”Your majesty, this humble subject has another method.”
The imperial physician seemed to have thought of something and lifted his head to speak to Xuanyuan Zhiling. His eyes flashed with hope.
Xuanyuan Zhiling was also startled when he saw the Imperial Physician's appearance, and his eyes shone with a bright light.
”Then let's give it a try. We must find the illness.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling was suddenly in high spirits and quickly rushed to the imperial physician's side. After the imperial physician heard Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, he naturally did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately came to the side of Qin Feng's Phoenix Couch.
Once again picking up Qin Feng's wrist, this time the imperial physician did not directly give Qin Feng a signal for his pulse, but held onto Qin Feng's elbow.
With a slight frown, the imperial physician's expression changed, as if he was thinking about something.
”Your Majesty, your Majesty …”
Suddenly, the imperial physician's face revealed a trace of surprise and joy. Not only could he save his head this time, he might even receive some rewards.
When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw the Imperial Physician's expression, he immediately looked at the doctor in confusion. Then, he glanced at Qin Feng's face again.
”What's wrong? What happened to the empress? ”
Xuanyuan Zhiling asked nervously, his expression a little worried.
”Your majesty, this humble subject just gave the empress a meridian just now. Because the empress is a person who practices medicine, and her medical skills are superb, this humble subject's meridians are different from ordinary people's veins.”
The imperial physician had finally figured out Qin Feng's pulse, so he was overjoyed. At the same time, he was relieved.
”Then what happened to the empress?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling didn't care about listening to the imperial physician's nonsense, and only nervously asked about Qin Feng's situation.
Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling's anxious look, the imperial physician laughed and said, ”Your majesty, this empress is blessed. I'm afraid that this empress is pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed!”
As the imperial physician spoke till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression suddenly froze. His mind was blank at first, but then he felt as if the entire world was empty. By the time he had reacted to it, he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
”What did you say?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling could not believe it, and stared at the imperial physician.
”Your Majesty, this empress is bearing the dragon seed of the Emperor.”
Each word was extremely clear, and Xuanyuan Zhiling could no longer doubt them.
”Is this true?” ”Are you sure?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice trembled slightly as joy and nervousness filled his heart.
He could not believe it, but he was ecstatic.
”This humble subject is certain that empress is pregnant.”
The imperial physician saw the happiness on Xuanyuan Zhiling's face and smiled as well, while speaking with absolute certainty.
But when Xuanyuan Zhiling thought about it again, Qin Feng was only pregnant, how could she faint? Furthermore, she was still in a coma. This was completely against common sense.
”But why is the Queen sleeping?”
Although Xuanyuan Zhiling was happy, he was worried.
At this moment, the imperial physician was slightly startled and sunk into deep thought, as if there was some problem that had stopped him.
”This humble subject thinks that it should be a heart attack. Previously, when empress was pregnant, she was unhappy or had something on her mind, which caused him to be afraid of waking up.”
By the time the imperial physician spoke to this point, Xuanyuan Zhiling already completely understood that Qin Feng did not want to live a prison like life anymore. She did not want to wake up, and did not want to see himself.
When he thought of this, Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes quickly flashed with a dim light.
”Then what should Zhen do to make the empress wake up faster?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that all of this was his fault. It was he who had made Qin Feng pregnant, and it was he who had made Qin Feng's mood bad. All of this was caused by him, yet he had been avoiding responsibility.
The imperial physician sighed softly upon hearing Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, but his expression was not heavy.
”That's not difficult. When a person is sleeping or fainting, the only thing that they are still working on is their hearing and a person's hearing is still affecting their subconscious mind, so the emperor only needs to accompany her and chat in empress's ears everyday. Perhaps empress will wake up after a few days.”
As the imperial physician spoke till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling had already decided to hand over the matters of the court to his trusted aides. The only thing he needed to do was to wait for Qin Feng to wake up.
After the imperial physician left, only Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng remained in the Blue Bird Hall.
”Qin Feng, why are you unwilling to wake up? ”Even if you hate me, you still have to think about our children.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling grabbed Qin Feng's hand, and tightly gripped it.
Seeing Qin Feng's pale face, Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart ached. He knew that he should have cared more about Qin Feng like this since a long time ago.
But it was too late to say all this now; Qin Feng was already unconscious.
For a period of three days, in order to accompany Qin Feng, Xuanyuan Zhiling ate and slept at the Blue Bird Hall, and for a period of three days, he did not go to the morning assembly.
