The Imperial Physician, having made up his mind, was exceptionally serious this time when taking the pulse,
However, no matter how he felt for the pulse, and despite the effort he put in to feel the Emperor’s pulses, they were the same as before,
No matter how he felt it, the pulse surely indicated pregnancy,
How could this not shock him?
Yet, it was not until this moment that he dared to lift his head incredulously to look at the Emperor, his gaze filled with complex meanings.
After seeing the Emperor’s expression, the Emperor suddenly revealed a faint smile,
This smile had no specific meaning, just a cold laugh,
But this scared the other party terribly, as such a smile from His Majesty was not well-intentioned.
Could it be, he really was about to be dealt with the next moment?
"Haha, you do not need to doubt your medical skills, you are indeed correct.
Tell me, how is my pregnancy pulse? Is the fetus still stable?"
His words left the physician utterly bewildered, although he was immensely shocked,
he had never anticipated that the Emperor was a woman.
But now, hearing His Majesty’s words, he was forced to reconsider their implication,
Regardless of how slow his reaction was, he immediately thought of one possibility,
Since His Majesty had already admitted it, it could only mean that His Majesty was not deceiving or toying with him, but that it was indeed true.
Indeed, His Majesty had personally admitted it, which means, His Majesty was telling him that he is a woman,
and now truly pregnant,
The impact of this revelation was immense,
For a moment, he didn’t know what to do, his mind completely muddled.
Even with his great imagination, he never dared to think ,
Who would have thought that today’s Emperor was actually a woman?
If this news were to spread, it would cause tremendous uproar, and even a fool could guess,
It would definitely overturn the entire court.
Of course, upon thinking this, he also thought of another possibility, that His Majesty might want to kill him to keep him quiet,
After all, only a dead person can keep a secret,
Otherwise, how could he have gained His Majesty’s trust?
But while he was panic-stricken, the Emperor’s voice once again gently rang in his ear,
And this time, the words spoken by the Emperor made his eyes shine.
"I will not deceive you, it is as you thought.
Yes, do not speak to anyone about my identity.
The reason I tell you all this is only hoping you will do your utmost to help me, to protect the child in my belly.
As long as my child can be born safely and healthily, then I can spare your life.
Of course, if you do not cooperate or recklessly say anything, you should understand the consequences without me telling you."
At this point, having heard these words, he felt somewhat relieved,
And it seemed he had also guessed what the Emperor was aiming to say,
All of a sudden, the Imperial Physician was filled with jubilation, His Majesty wanted his help in nurturing the pregnancy.
Since he was still of use to His Majesty, it meant His Majesty would not harm him, or at least his life still had value.
This was unquestionably the best news he had heard so far,
In an instant, the Imperial Physician quickly knelt down and continuously kowtowed to the Emperor,
Expressing his loyalty, assuring that he would not reveal a single bit of information.
However, the Emperor naturally did not trust him.
But as the Emperor had said, pregnancy is not an easy matter, and without a physician by his side, how could he be reassured?
And this Imperial Physician, having already known this matter, could stay by his side to secure a healthy pregnancy peacefully.
As for his freedom, heh, from the moment he knew, it no longer existed.
After receiving his assurance, the Emperor once again extended his hand, letting him meticulously check over again.
Now that he knew the secrets of the Emperor, he dared not hold back any longer, and began to thoroughly examine the Emperor’s health.
After this examination, he found that beside being a bit tired, the Emperor’s body was still very healthy, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, now that you are pregnant, you should rest as much as possible.
I just checked, the fetus is still very stable, and as the duration is still short, it won’t cause any effects.
Your Majesty just needs to rest more regularly and avoid eating those highly spicy foods."
Hearing that the fetus in his belly was healthy, the Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, nothing is more important than the health of this child,
Since he said everything was fine, the Emperor then casually waved his hand, signaling people to take him down,
And from today onwards, this Imperial Physician would no longer return to the Imperial Physician’s quarters, but would stay in the secret room behind him.
Don’t talk about human rights, as now it is an imperial society,
Being spared from death penalty was already a tremendous grace.
