After hearing this, Shen Muxue looked very worried: "It's all because I've been serving the Queen Mother lately and neglected my mother. Come, ask Doctor Zhou to come and treat her."

She reacted immediately and ordered her attendants to invite the famous doctor Zhou from the palace to come and check on the situation to ensure that there was no problem with her mother's health.

Seeing this, Mrs. Kang originally wanted to stop him. After all, such an action was somewhat too ostentatious. However, considering that there were many other people in the hall, she was worried that refusing would attract more attention, so she wisely withdrew her hand.

She thought Shen Muxue was just trying to show her daughter's filial piety, and there would be no harm in cooperating.

So I had no choice but to continue with the show.

Not long after, Doctor Zhou was summoned.

He carefully took Mrs. Kang's pulse, and although he did not find any obvious signs of leg numbness, he did find some minor ailments such as insomnia and irritability.

After all, Doctor Zhou was an experienced doctor in the palace. Although he did not find the so-called "leg numbness", he still gave a reasonable diagnosis based on Mrs. Kang's overall condition.

In response, Mrs. Kang repeatedly praised the doctor's excellent skills and said that this was exactly her recent condition - her sleep quality was very poor every day.

Such words not only prevented the previous hypocritical reason from being exposed, but also gave Doctor Zhou a way out. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.

After receiving the prescription, Mrs. Kang was delighted and thanked Dr. Zhou again and again.

This gratitude seems to be extremely sincere, but in fact it is more for maintaining one's image in front of the guests and for expressing gratitude that this emergency ended smoothly.

At this time, Shen Muxue slowly turned to Shen Luoxi. Her eyes were gentle but with a hint of determination that could not be ignored. "Doctor Zhou, please wait a moment and take a look at this one. She just stood for a while and said her legs were uncomfortable. I wonder if there is anything wrong."

Upon hearing this, Shen Luoxi was suddenly frightened, her face turned pale, and she almost fell off her seat.

After all, she had only been married to Prince Xuan for a few days, and there was no time to announce her pregnancy to the outside world.

If her pulse is checked in public at this moment, wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing herself directly?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Seeing this, Madam Kang hurriedly spoke up, trying to remedy the situation. "As the daughter of a minister, she shouldn't be too pampered. Besides, it's normal for a young girl to have some leg discomfort. It's not a big deal."

However, Shen Muxue didn't seem to care about Mrs. Kang's explanation. Instead, she insisted on her suggestion: "Young people should pay more attention to their physical condition. Many seemingly healthy young people may have hidden dangers. Besides, since we are all family and the blood relationship is so close, if this leg disease is really caused by some kind of family hereditary problem, we can find out the cause as soon as possible and take appropriate measures."

To others, these words sounded as refreshing as a spring breeze, but to the parties involved, Mrs. Kang and her daughter Shen Luoxi, they were like a bolt from the blue, causing them to feel fear and anxiety.

Especially the latter, he secretly regretted in his heart and resented why he had just brought up that unpleasant thing.

The people around who were unaware of the truth only thought that the Queen was concerned about her family's health out of kindness but was rejected, and they did not realize the complex hidden situation:

"We all know how humble and polite Madam Kang is in her daily life. She will definitely not become arrogant or rude just because she is now a relative of the emperor."

"That's right, that's exactly what I said. Besides, Doctor Zhou is an exceptional doctor. Such a precious opportunity to see a doctor is hard to come by, so how could I let it go so easily? Even if they can't find anything wrong, there's no harm in treating it as a simple physical examination."

A group of people were talking at once, and without any instructions, they spontaneously surrounded Mrs. Kang to persuade her. It was very lively with everyone talking at once.

Another group of people ignored Shen Luoxi's wishes and dragged her to see Doctor Zhou for consultation.

This senior doctor usually immersed himself in studying medical knowledge and rarely interfered in the affairs of the harem. Therefore, he had no impression of the names of Madam Kang and Shen Luoxi, and did not even know them at all.

What Doctor Zhou didn't know was that the woman in front of him - Shen Luoxi, had just gotten married not long ago, and just because of the way she dressed she looked like a married woman.

He simply and carefully took Shen Luoxi's pulse for a moment, then announced his diagnosis to everyone in a resonant voice: "According to the pulse, this lady's fetus is currently very stable, with no apparent abnormalities. Usually, pregnant women don't begin to experience symptoms like leg numbness or cramps until late in pregnancy. Although this lady's symptoms seem to have appeared a little early, they are still within the normal range for the entire pregnancy. She just needs to pay more attention to her daily routine and she will be fine."

However, no one present listened to the subsequent suggestions and explanations given by Doctor Zhou. Everyone's eyes were almost as big as copper bells, and their mouths were open into a circle.

One of them muttered two words in a trembling voice: "Fetal image..."

As for the protagonists at this moment - whether it was Mrs. Kang or Shen Luoxi who was mistakenly believed to be pregnant, deep down they actually had a strong desire to faint immediately in order to escape from the embarrassing situation.

Unfortunately, since both of them usually had good physical conditions, even if they wanted to pretend to fall down, they could not escape the sharp scrutiny of Doctor Zhou.

Faced with the initial astonishment of the crowd around them gradually turning into mocking looks towards the two of them, Mrs. Kang and Shen Luoxi could only endure it silently.

Especially Mrs. Kang, as time went on, she really felt that she had been standing for too long, her legs began to weaken involuntarily, and her whole body looked a little shaky.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Shen Muxue, who was standing not far away, suddenly revealed a look of surprise as if she had thought of something. She raised her voice and said to the people around her, "This is simply great news! We should quickly inform Prince Xuan of this good news so that he can also share in this rare joy!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed: What is there to be happy about?

If the child wasn't Prince Xuan's biological child, then given his arrogant personality and intense possessiveness, he'd probably harbor murderous intent. And if it was his own flesh and blood, with rumors circulating throughout the capital that the couple had married out of pregnancy, how could there be any reason to be happy about such a situation?

No matter how ups and downs King Xuan's mood was at the moment, this unexpected incident made Shen Muxue feel unprecedented satisfaction in her heart.

Even though she is the mother of a country and holds the position of queen, Madam Kang and Shen Luoxi still dare to provoke and embarrass her in front of her without restraint.
