Chapter 372 Great Grace
Doctor Wang was only in his early twenties. Although he came from a medical family, he had only been admitted to the Imperial Hospital not long ago and his experience was far less than that of other old doctors. He didn't know whether he doubted Lady Luo's pulse or his own medical skills.
The Queen Mother saw Niuniu's anxious face and said to the doctor: "Just say it. It doesn't matter if you make a wrong diagnosis."
Doctor Wang made up his mind and said: "To reply to the Queen Mother, the pulse is like a bead, which is suspected to be a happy pulse."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face was blank for a moment.
Doctor Wang raised his head with a slight tremor, and looked at the Queen Mother's expression, and his heart was suddenly in turmoil.
After a long while, Niuniu pulled the doctor's sleeve, and the old man came back to his senses from the huge surprise. He stared at Doctor Wang with burning eyes and asked: "Really? Really... is it a happy pulse?"
Doctor Wang shook his head.
The Queen Mother's face fell immediately.
Doctor Wang said cautiously: "Empress Dowager, this young lady is still young, it seems that she is less than a month old. I am not 100% sure, but I think she is 70% pregnant."
The Queen Mother's expression gradually warmed up, and said: "It's good to be 70% sure, Li Shunfu, you go to the Imperial Hospital in person and invite a few more people."
In the impression of everyone, doctors are more convincing when they are older than when they are younger.
Li Shunfu naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant. He went there in person in the middle of the day, so he could naturally invite those lazy old doctors to come.
Even though it has not been confirmed yet, the Queen Mother's attitude has changed. She said to Concubine Luo: "Don't be too restrained. Eat while waiting, don't starve yourself."
Concubine Luo suffered from the summer and had no appetite. The Queen Mother didn't care whether she had an appetite before, but now the Queen Mother was so meticulous that she wanted to feed Concubine Luo.
"Even if you don't have an appetite, you should pick some food you like. You almost fell down before, wasn't it because you didn't eat enough that you couldn't stand steadily? Your body is important, don't you know?" said the Queen Mother.
The last time Concubine Luo heard the Queen Mother speak so gently was when she was facing Niuniu. Now she was flattered and trembling with fear when she received this treatment.
She knew that the Queen Mother's good attitude came from her belly. She couldn't help but worry, what if she was not pregnant? Would the Queen Mother be angry and embarrassed?
Fortunately, Concubine Luo's worries did not last too long. Li Shunfu went to invite them personally. Even at noon, a group of old doctors who should have been enjoying their old age were forced to run over with their medicine boxes.
A group of people surrounded Concubine Luo for a long time, and then gathered together to whisper for a long time. In the end, it was the most experienced doctor who stood up.
"To reply to the Queen Mother, this young lady is still young. Now we think there is a high probability that she is pregnant. If we wait for about ten days, we can be more sure."
The Queen Mother glanced at Wang Taiyi beside her. A group of old doctors gathered together and also thought that Luo Meiren was pregnant. She knew the morality of the imperial doctors in the palace. They said that the pregnancy was almost certain.
"Okay, I already know about this. Is there anything to pay attention to now?" asked the Queen Mother.
The old doctor said: "The weather is very hot. This young lady seems to have signs of heatstroke. Just pay more attention to it on weekdays. No medicine is needed for the time being."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Don't you need to take the pregnancy medicine?"
Luo Meiren suspected that she was pregnant. The Queen Mother didn't want any accidents to happen.
The old doctor's mood was similar to that of the Queen Mother. It was no big deal for the Imperial Hospital to fool around with Taiping. Now that it involved a pregnant woman, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
It was the first time in many years that someone in the emperor's harem was really pregnant. If she was not careful and lost the baby, I'm afraid the entire imperial hospital would be buried with the fetus.
"This young lady is strong and healthy. It would be bad to use medicine rashly. Wait until the fetus is stable, and then we will consider using medicine." After the old doctor said this, he stretched out his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
The queen mother didn't continue to worry about it.
After a group of doctors left, the queen mother asked Li Shunfu: "How much ice is used for the position of beauty?"
Although Li Shunfu didn't care about these, he was also clear about this matter and replied: "One ice per day."
There were too many people in the palace, and the position of beauty was low enough. Even if Luo Meiren was now favored by the emperor, she couldn't increase her share out of thin air.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "How about Lady Luo move to the side hall of Shoukang Palace?"
Lady Luo's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this, and she said, "I'd love to move to Shoukang Palace and get the blessing of the Queen Mother."
Niuniu was also very happy, only Nanny Sun hesitated for a moment, and finally reminded, "Queen Mother, if a pregnant woman moves, she may disturb the fetus."
After the Queen Mother heard Nanny Sun's explanation, she remembered that there was such a saying among the people.
For her grandchildren who had not yet been confirmed to exist, the Queen Mother did not dare to take any risks.
"In that case, then we won't move, but the palace servants around you haven't served you for too long, and I'm still not at ease." The Queen Mother said to Lady Luo worriedly.
Lady Luo was almost killed by Li Zhaoyi. She knew that after the news of her pregnancy spread, she would definitely become the focus of the harem. As long as she gave birth to this child steadily, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, she would have someone to rely on in the future, so it was natural that she would be cautious.
"Empress Dowager, I am not a smart person and have little foundation in the harem. I beg you to protect me." Concubine Luo knelt down on the spot.
"Get up, get up!" The Queen Mother was anxious, fearing that kneeling would cause harm to the fetus.
"Don't worry, you are carrying my grandson in your belly. I will definitely protect you well, and will definitely ensure that you give birth safely, and will not treat you badly in the future." The Queen Mother promised.
Niu Niu watched for a long time and said, "Grandma Queen Mother, since Meiren sister can't move in, can you send her more ice?"
Niu Niu was still thinking about this matter.
The Queen Mother immediately said, "Li Shunfu, you tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to say that Concubine Luo has served meritorious, and her share will be provided according to the Imperial Concubine in the future."
Only the share was raised, but the position was not promoted, but Concubine Luo was very happy. The amount of ice used by the Imperial Concubine every day was enough to keep her cool all day, and she didn't have to suffer from the heat anymore.
Now that the pregnancy has not been confirmed, the Queen Mother dare not do too much. If the news can be concealed, the Queen Mother tries not to let outsiders know, and only notified the emperor.
The emperor was originally dealing with government affairs, but after receiving the news, he didn't care about anything else and ran over in the scorching heat.
"Mother, is this true?" The emperor's eyes were surprisingly bright.
The queen mother nodded: "It's almost certain."
Niuniu quickly added: "The imperial doctors said that we need to wait another ten days to confirm it."
Even though it was not 100% sure, the emperor was so happy that he didn't know what to do. After years of anticipation, it came true. He even couldn't help but suspect that he was in a dream.
The queen mother did not forget to ask for credit for Niuniu: "This time it was all thanks to Niuniu. If she hadn't blocked it, Concubine Luo would have fallen. Emperor, you have to give Niuniu a big favor."
