The Empress has been troubled by Fetal Gas, and this is a grave matter indeed.
The entire Huayang Palace sprang into action in an instant.
Ever since Su Pan’er beca pregnant, Qin Yi had specially added more staff as a precaution, and he had even arranged for two Imperial Physicians to be stationed daily in the Purple Bamboo Forest beside Huayang Palace, fearing that Su Pan’er might suffer the slightest mishap.
Almost as soon as the news that Su Pan’er was affected by Fetal Gas was out, the two ready-waiting Imperial Physicians hurried over.
As soon as the two Imperial Physicians arrived, the safety and wellbeing of the Empress naturally fell into their hands.
anwhile, soone had already rushed to report the news to His Majesty.
When Qin Yi hurried over, he just happened to see a dicine Woman beside the Imperial Physician administering acupuncture to Su Pan’er.
Despite the cold winter, Su Pan’er was covered in a cold sweat, her hair a ssy tangle sticking to her pale face.
Perhaps afraid that her concern would be evident, Su Pan’er, while receiving the needles, turned and gave him a smile.
"Your Majesty, you can’t co in. If the dicine Woman gets distracted and makes a mistake with the needles, it would be terrible. Please wait outside."
The Imperial Physician by his side quickly intervened.
"If any dare to make a mistake with the needles, I will have their entire family buried with them! I’ll exterminate their entire clan!"
Qin Yi’s face was very grim as the threatening words burst forth naturally.
Yet they made Su Pan’er burst out laughing, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you... you really are imposing!"
Do you not fear that such threats may alienate and dishearten your subjects?
Looking at Su Pan’er in pain, Qin Yi’s expression grew even darker.
He was both distressed and furious, "Can’t you speak less, and let the dicine Woman properly insert the needles? As for this ss with the Fetal Gas you’ve stirred up, I haven’t even settled the account with you yet! Just wait, see if I don’t severely punish you later!"
Why Pan’er was troubled by Fetal Gas, he had heard about it on his way over.
He had deliberately kept it from her, fearing it would weary her. If he had known that leaving the matter to Little Yanyan would have caused Pan’er to be affected by Fetal Gas, he would never have entrusted it to Little Yanyan.
But saying this now was of no help to the situation, and he could only bluster with his mouth, shouting incoherently.
When Pan’er was really feeling a bit better, how could he bring himself to punish her?
Naturally, Su Pan’er understood this too. She struggled to reach out and take Qin Yi’s large hand, managing a weak smile while cold sweat continued to slide down her forehead. Closing her eyes, she shook her head, "I’m alright. I am well-versed in dicine and I know whether her needle technique and placent are correct better than you do. You should send soone to check on Yan Yan, about Yan Yan’s side..."
At these words, the dicine Woman’s hand trembled, her needle slightly deviating from the exact acupoint, though thankfully it was not a significant error.
Even so, it made Su Pan’er raise an eyebrow. The dicine Woman did not dare to look up and quickly concentrated on the needling.
"Be quiet now, you fool!"
Qin Yi scolded her in frustration: "Have you not thought about it? Yan Yan is my daughter, the First Princess of Our Great Zhou Dynasty. Would I neglect her safety? You, really..."
Care begets chaos!
Precisely because she cared so much for the First Princess, she was troubled by Fetal Gas upon hearing of her danger.
"I know, but... I’m her mother."
Because she is Yan Yan’s Empress Mother, her mother, that’s why she was so anxious to find Yan Yan.
"You... don’t worry, Yan Yan will be back soon."
Qin Yi simply did not know what to do with her.
Speak of the Devil!
While the two were talking, they heard Little Yanyan’s voice outside: "Eh! Why are you all at Mother’s Bedroom Palace again? Could it be just the routine safety pulse check?"
His Majesty was so concerned about the child in the Empress’s womb that he arranged for the on-duty Imperial Physicians to check her pulse for peace twice a day. This illustrates His Majesty’s deep concern for the matter.
"The Empress is feeling slightly unwell. The First Princess, the Imperial Physician is inside attending to her, and His Majesty is there as well... "
It was Eunuch An’s voice, and the words following it grew softer and softer, gradually becoming indistinct. After a mont, it seed that Little Yanyan nodded.
"Then this princess will not enter. Eunuch An, go fetch a stool for . I wish to sit here and wait for the Imperial Physician to co out."
Little Yanyan’s voice was crisp and loud, still carrying a touch of youthful softness. Hearing it, Su Pan’er felt her heart settle down.
The dicine Woman finally concluded the acupuncture, removed the needles, and slowly stepped back.
After the acupuncture and now that Little Yanyan had returned, Su Pan’er was able to fully relax, gradually feeling sleepy.
Before long, the decoction was brought in.
Qin Yi directly snatched the dicine bowl and ca over silently to feed it to her.
"I can do it myself..."
Su Pan’er reached out reflexively, but Qin Yi dodged her with a furrowed brow.
"Drink!"
One word, simple and clear.
As the spoon with the decoction approached her lips, Su Pan’er could only open her mouth and drink from the spoon.
After she had finished a spoonful of the decoction, she quickly grasped his arm, "Your Majesty, I..."
"Don’t talk!"
Qin Yi imdiately suppressed her intention to speak, feeding her spoonful by spoonful. As the bowl of decoction was nearing its end, he slowly set down the bowl.
"After you’ve taken the dicine, sleep for a while to restore your energy."
Su Pan’er wanted to speak, but the effects of the dicine were apparent, and she soon felt sleepy, so she could only nod.
Once she was asleep, Qin Yi silently stepped out from the inner room. Outside, several Imperial Physicians were waiting there and promptly paid their respects when they saw Qin Yi co out.
"Your Majesty."
"You may all rise."
Qin Yi took a seat at the Main Seat, his gaze swept over the solemn faces of several Imperial Physicians, and he asked in a deep voice, "You have all gathered here, do you have sothing to say to ?"
He naturally understood what they wanted to say at this mont. And precisely because he understood, his expression had been dark.
Imperial Physician Wang was pushed forward by the others, feeling particularly depressed.
So it happens that you all take the credit, and I am left to shoulder the bla; truly a group of scoundrels.
"Your Majesty, it’s no longer appropriate to delay the Empress’s situation. We hope you will make early preparations for the best."
Since the Empress suffered from Fetal Gas, it was not easy to save the pregnancy, but it was much easier to terminate it now, which is why several Imperial Physicians agreed to terminate the pregnancy imdiately.
Qin Yi’s face grew even longer than that of a horse.
His fists clenched and unclenched, tightened and loosened again, clearly struggling with an internal conflict.
"My ministers, is there truly no other solution? Or perhaps... we wait a while longer?"
The n exchanged glances. The Emperor’s attitude had already hinted at the outco he desired, but they were still unable to nod in agreent, yet they also had to consider the Emperor’s wishes.
Indeed, it put them in a difficult position.
"Your Majesty, think it over carefully, do not gamble with the Empress’s life and well-being..."
Another elder Imperial Physician also stepped forward and spoke.
"Let us discuss this matter with the Empress first," Qin Yi said.
This was the greatest concession he could make.
