Chapter 25 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (25)

Emperor Tianwu's bedroom, in the side hall.

As soon as the Imperial Medical Bureau doctors closed the door, the hospital attendant hurriedly asked Zhou Yan: "Xiao Zhou, tell us everything you know, including your pulse diagnosis results."

"Envoy Song, I don't know much, but let me just say that His Majesty suddenly gained weight overnight. Steward Li can also prove that His Majesty was normal before he fell asleep. He wasn't as fat as he is now, and he didn't have as many light-colored bloodshot scars on his body as he does now.

Those scars must be because Your Majesty suddenly gained weight.

It causes the skin to crack.

The specific situation is unclear.

As for Concubine Guang, I did not take her pulse, but as soon as she came in, she said that she was cursed and that what was pregnant in her belly was not a fetus, and she didn't know what it was.

It grew bigger instantly, it's definitely not pregnancy!
But I didn't take her pulse, so I don't know if it's true or not."

The imperial doctors immediately began to discuss what he had said.

"You've gained so much weight overnight. This is totally unnatural. Your Majesty, you've gained at least 40 to 50 pounds, or even more, than a few days ago. Even a pregnant woman would need more than half a year to gain that much weight."

“It’s rare for pregnant women to gain this much weight!”

"Your Majesty's pulse records are very clear. He was never as fat as he is now before. There is no doubt about that."

"Existing medical theory simply cannot explain it."

"The Guangfei situation is even more bizarre. I treated her half a month ago. Her pulse was normal at the time, she just had a slight cold. I prescribed her seven days of medicine, so she was definitely not pregnant half a month ago. Her belly was also normal, and it didn't look as big as it is today.

If Your Majesty had gained weight overnight.

It is indeed possible that Concubine Guang became pregnant overnight."

"This is so weird, so weird. I'm sure there's something in Concubine Guang's belly. It's not gas, nor is it a false pregnancy. Hearing what you said, it's even less likely to be a fetus. I'm screwed. I really have no idea how to tell His Majesty!"

It could be said that the imperial physicians present were truly helpless. Even when the Empress Dowager was gravely ill and had no medicine to cure her, they had not felt so helpless. Because the Empress Dowager had no medicine to cure her, at least they knew what illness she had, and that it was indeed a terminal illness. But now, they didn't even know what exactly had happened.

The imperial physicians here haven't come to a conclusion yet, or to be more precise, they haven't yet decided how to tell Emperor Tianwu.

The prince and the other princes went to the door to visit.

The ministers also submitted memorials to pray for blessings.

In addition, Ziyun Zhenren of the Tianshi Mansion and Xu Jianzheng of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory were not very willing to admit that Emperor Tianwu was possessed by evil spirits. Instead, they all believed that Emperor Tianwu was protected by dragon energy and national destiny, and no one could curse him. He was probably just sick, so they let the imperial doctors find a solution.

The same thing happened to Concubine Guang, she was just sick.

It is a difficult and complicated disease.

Are you kidding? Don't they know whether they have the ability to exorcise evil spirits? If it is a symptom that they know the principle and can solve, of course they are willing to show it off. After all, they can get some credit.

But now, both the situation of Emperor Tianwu and the situation of Concubine Guang have exceeded their understanding and their capabilities.

If you really admit that they are possessed by evil spirits.

If they can't solve the problem, they either have to admit that they are not capable enough or they have to admit that they don't understand it at all.

In the past, there was always some trickery.

Obviously, neither outcome is a good one.

Rather than suffering the consequences myself, I might as well insist that the two of them weren't possessed by evil spirits, but simply had some intractable disease, and then pass the blame on to the Imperial Hospital, giving them a headache. It wasn't possessed by evil spirits, it was just an illness.

We can't just blame it on them.

It is true that what the superiors like, the subordinates will follow. Emperor Tianwu likes to pass the buck, and the officials below follow suit.

Then, even Emperor Tianwu, who had guessed that he might have been possessed by evil spirits, and Concubine Guang, who was very sure that he must have been possessed by evil spirits, could not say anything.

They couldn't say that the dragon energy and national destiny were bad and failed to protect them at all. They were still cursed.

Concubine Guang didn't dare to say that.

Emperor Tianwu was unwilling.

Then the pressure was put on the Imperial Medical Service. The hospital's directors and judges were almost furious after learning that the Tianshi Mansion and the Imperial Observatory were shifting the blame. Because they were very sure at this time that Emperor Tianwu and Concubine Guang were definitely not sick, they had already prepared an excuse to shift the blame to the Tianshi Mansion and the Imperial Observatory so as to get the Imperial Medical Service out of the way.

The result was that the discussion took too long.

His home was robbed and he was forced to take on this big pot first.

But they obviously couldn't bear the blame, so after struggling for a moment, the envoy spoke decisively:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Guang is in poor health and cannot be delayed any longer.

Why not let me and others give Concubine Guang some labor-inducing medicine to relieve her worries about her pregnancy?"

He was one step behind in the game and was easily blamed by the Tianshi Mansion and the Imperial Observatory. It would undoubtedly not be easy to blame the emperor back at this time, and it might even make the emperor feel that they were blaming each other, although they were indeed blaming each other.

But it can't be too obvious.

So instead of using words to shift the blame, it is better to speak directly with facts. As long as the baby born in Concubine Guang's belly is not a human, it can be proved with ironclad facts that Concubine Guang's big belly is not due to illness or a complicated disease, but she is really possessed by evil spirits or cursed.

Therefore, even if there is nothing unusual about Concubine Guang now.

The contents of the stomach are not life-threatening for the time being.

The hospital official exaggerated the matter a little bit, saying that they had to help her induce labor and deliver the baby in her belly.

Neither Emperor Tianwu nor Concubine Guang herself had any objection to this. After all, Concubine Guang didn't want to be pregnant and was going to have an abortion anyway. Now that the director of the Imperial Hospital was taking action, it would definitely be more reliable than Nanny Li.

Both the parties involved and those who can make the decision have no objection.

The matter was naturally settled.

The next step was naturally to boil the medicine and call the female doctor who was responsible for the delivery. In the meantime, Emperor Tianwu also sent away all his sons who were waiting outside the palace.

He really wasn't in the mood to see them right now.

Another half hour later, the inducing medicine was finally brewed, and the female doctor arrived. She then helped Concubine Guang drink the medicine, and soon the medicine took effect, and she began to give birth. Everything went smoothly, without any unexpected problems such as dystocia or heavy bleeding. In less than half an incense stick of time, Concubine Guang gave birth to a round baby.

Of course, it’s definitely not Nezha.

It's just a pig's head with a placenta.

It is purple-brown, round, and slightly elastic. Because it is semi-transparent, you can't see clearly what is inside, but you can be sure that it is not a fetus.

The midwife fainted on the spot.

The palace maids were also terrified and forced themselves to present the translucent placenta ball to Emperor Tianwu.
