Chapter 364 Her Majesty's Harem 303
Chapter 364 Her Majesty's Harem 303
Shang Xuan stood there, motionless like a sculpture, his heart as calm as water, without even the slightest ripple.
He couldn't help but sneer. The Queen had said these sweet words to countless young and promising ministers.
His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he stared expressionlessly at Yan Jiu, who was performing a devoted and affectionate act in front of him.
He stiffly bowed to Yan Jiu, his tone flat and devoid of emotion: "It is the greatest honor of my life to receive such kindness and trust from Your Majesty. To live up to Your Majesty's trust, I will immediately set out to apprehend the assassins."
Yan Jiu had a fake smile on his face and stretched out a hand as if to support Shang Xuan.
Of course, she was just pretending and didn't dare to really touch the other person. Who knew if this cold man would suddenly draw the sword at his waist and chop off her outstretched hand without saying a word?
"It's too dangerous outside. Lord Shang, please don't go out for now. Let my guards handle such dangerous tasks."
Shang Xuan pretended not to hear Yan Jiu's words.
He walked straight out the door without stopping.
"Protecting Your Majesty's safety is my humble duty and mission."
As soon as Shang Xuan opened the door, the palace maid Xiaohong rushed in with a large group of imperial doctors.
It was quite a big scene. Upon closer inspection, almost everyone in the Imperial Hospital had come.
Seeing this, Shang Xuan slightly moved to the side and observed silently, secretly wondering what Yan Jiu was up to.
The chief physician of the Imperial Hospital was nearly fifty years old. He came jogging all the way and was exhausted and out of breath.
He ran to Yan Jiu, knelt down on the ground without saying a word, and bowed respectfully to Yan Jiu.
Yan Jiu sat on the chair, waved his hand, and said calmly: "No need to be polite, please stand up quickly."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly thanked the emperor and stood up, but because he had run too fast just now, his body was still shaking and unstable.
"I wonder what's wrong with your majesty?"
Yan Jiu frowned and said, "I don't know why I haven't had any appetite lately, no matter what I eat, especially fish. As soon as I put it in my mouth, I feel nauseous and extremely uncomfortable."
Doctor Zhang's originally calm face suddenly changed. He ran forward at a rapid pace and arrived at Yan Jiu's side in the blink of an eye.
The palace maid beside her carefully covered Yan Jiu's slender and delicate wrist with a piece of silk.
Doctor Zhang took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then slowly stretched out his slightly old hands and gently took the pulse.
Time passed by minute by minute, the atmosphere around was tense and solemn, everyone held their breath and dared not make a sound.
Doctor Zhang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly became extremely excited and his body trembled involuntarily.
With a thud, he fell straight to his knees.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is pregnant with a dragon vein. Our great kingdom has an heir. Long live our emperor!"
As Imperial Physician Zhang finished speaking, a large group of other Imperial Physicians, both great and small, reacted as if awakened from a dream. Almost at the same time, they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor..."
For a moment, the entire palace was filled with the passionate shouts of the imperial doctors.
Shang Xuan, who was standing outside the gate, was slightly stunned.
Your Majesty is pregnant?
"Whose?" Shang Xuan asked without paying attention.
Yan Jiu had a sweet and burdened look on his face: "I don't know either. I've favored too many concubines recently and I can't remember."
"However, no matter whose child this is, it is my seed."
Shang Xuan couldn't help but glare at Yan Jiu.
The spies planted in the palace said that His Majesty would sometimes have several concubines serve him in one night.
It is simply immoral and licentious.
