The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Zhang Qian, who was about to say she didn't like it, had to take back her words, "I've never eaten red bean cake before. I usually prefer red bean cake."

"If you haven't eaten it, then it's a good opportunity to try it." Gu Jianchu handed the portion in front of him to Zhang Qian.

Gu Jianchu handed her other hand to Zhu Xia, letting Zhu Xia help her roll up her sleeves, revealing a part of her white wrist, and placed it on the small soft pillow for taking the pulse.

Zhang Qian looked at Gu Jianchu's gentle smile. It was difficult for her to refuse, so she nervously reached out her hand again and picked up a piece of cake from the plate. She took a bite, but before she could swallow, she was stimulated by the rich taste of the red bean cake and wanted to vomit. She covered her mouth with both hands, forcing herself to suppress the reaction, and her face looked particularly pale because of this reaction.

Gu Jianchu was always paying attention to her reaction. Noticing her expression, he asked, "Miss Zhang, why do you look so unhappy? Are you feeling unwell?"

Normally at home, her husband took special care of this cousin. Before entering the palace, her husband repeatedly told her to take good care of this cousin.

After hearing what Gu Jianchu said, Wan Ning County Lady immediately stood up with concern, "Why are you so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Qian finally managed to suppress her morning sickness and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern. I'm fine. I just have this old chest ache."

"Chest pain is not a minor problem. Do you take medicine at home?" Gu Jianchu looked caring and even the eldest princess could not find any fault with him.

The eldest princess even had some doubts that when Zhang Qian was in the palace, Gu Jianchu's personality would not be able to control such a person.

Only Xie Ci'an knew that Gu Jianchu had no good intentions from the beginning to the end.

Zhang Qian answered truthfully, "My family was poor before. My parents were only concerned with taking care of my younger siblings and had no money to buy me medicine. Later, I went to the capital to seek refuge with my cousin. I didn't dare to trouble him, so I just endured the pain in my heart occasionally."

"Poor thing, the imperial physician is here. Let him take a look at you and prescribe some medicine for you, and maybe you will be cured. Besides, this imperial physician Lin is the best at treating these difficult and complicated diseases." Gu Jianchu showed a look of pity on his face.

Hearing this, Zhang Qian's face turned even more pale as if she had encountered a formidable enemy. She knelt down in front of Gu Jianchu with a plop, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am too humble to ask the imperial physician to take my pulse. Please revoke your order."

【It can’t be taken back.】

"From today on, you will serve me, just like Zhu Xia and the others. Don't always say things that mean you are of low status. And if you are sick, you must get treatment. Otherwise, how can you serve me in the future?"

"If you get sick here with me, the county lord Ma will definitely be worried in the mansion. He might even ask the county lady Wan Ning to come to the palace to see you more often." Gu Jianchu's last sentence was to put pressure on the eldest princess.

The eldest princess has only one child in her life, Princess Wan Ning. She is her treasure and the apple of her eye. How could she bear to let Princess Wan Ning suffer any injustice?

"It's the Empress's grace that you should let the imperial physician take a look. I'm really sorry. From now on, I will double my efforts to serve the Empress and repay her like a slave." The eldest princess said with a hint of impatience.

Zhang Qian knelt on the ground, racking her brains to think of a reason to refuse.

Before she could speak, Gu Jianchu continued, "You don't want the imperial physician to see you, but you have some unspeakable illness. Don't worry, doctors have a kind heart, and the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital still have this kind of medical ethics."

Doctor Lin now realized that the Queen's request for him to come and check An's pulse was just a cover, and the real reason was for the woman in front of him.

Doctor Lin stepped forward and placed the soft pillow for taking the pulse on the stool.

Seeing that Zhang Qian was trying to take her arm out, Doctor Lin was reluctant to step forward to push her away. Instead, Zhu Xia stepped forward and forcibly pulled Zhang Qian's arm over to Doctor Lin.

Seeing Zhu Xia's rude behavior, County Lady Wan Ning was about to step forward worriedly, but was pulled back by the Grand Princess.

Because of nervousness, Zhang Qian broke out in a fine layer of cold sweat on her forehead and her body trembled uncontrollably, fearing that Doctor Lin would discover something.

Doctor Lin's expression gradually became ugly.

Gu Jianchu drank the tea in front of him and asked lazily, "How is it? It may be cured. No matter what herbs you use, feel free to use them boldly. Just count it on me when the time comes."

Imperial Physician Lin knelt down and spoke truthfully, "Your Majesty, I wonder if my medical skills are not sophisticated enough to detect any other issues with this young lady. Judging from her pulse, she is pregnant and has only been pregnant for a month, so her pulse is not particularly obvious. She just felt uncomfortable after smelling the red bean cake, so it's probably just normal morning sickness from the early stages of pregnancy."

"Pregnant? Are you sure? Didn't my aunt just say that Miss Zhang is still unmarried? How could an unmarried girl be pregnant? I'm afraid you made a mistake in the diagnosis and ruined her innocence."

Gu Jianchu's face was full of confusion.

If Xie Ci'an hadn't known that Gu Jianchu knew the hidden secret, he would have believed it. The Queen was initially unaware of it.

The one with the ugliest expression was the eldest princess.

Like Gu Jianchu, Princess Wanning was filled with confusion. "Doctor Lin, you must have made a mistake. How could my cousin be pregnant? Ever since she came to the capital, she has stayed at home and rarely goes out. She doesn't even have a man by her side."

[She is such a silly girl, she couldn't be any more silly. The most important man around her is your County Master Ma, who is always in your palm.]

[This silly girl is actually kind of cute in her stupidity.]

"If it is other difficult and complicated diseases, I might make a wrong diagnosis, but this is a slippery pulse like a jade plate, I will not make a wrong diagnosis. If Your Majesty and the County Princess do not believe it, you can ask other imperial physicians to come and check. It is definitely a pregnancy pulse without a doubt." Imperial Physician Lin straightened his back confidently.

Gu Jianchu asked Doctor Lin to come over because he wanted Doctor Lin's mouth, which dared to say anything.

"If any problems really arise, it will damage the reputation of Miss Zhang. Yunhe, you take my token and go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Zhang over. Doctor Zhang is the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, so there will definitely be no problems." Gu Jianchu handed the token to Yunhe.

There was no trace of blood on Zhang Qian's face.

Now she didn't want to enter the palace at all. She wanted to go back. There was no chance for her to speak here.

Because he held the empress's token, Doctor Zhang was quickly brought to the Cining Palace by Yunhe. Doctor Zhang thought something was wrong with the empress and was sweating profusely as he trotted along. Without waiting for a break, the empress immediately ordered, "Doctor Zhang, please help this girl."

Doctor Zhang tried to catch his breath and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Jianchu straightened his sleeves and explained lazily, "Doctor Zhang just needs to take my pulse."

Although Doctor Zhang was confused, he didn't ask any questions and went forward to take his pulse.
