章節 71: Chapter 71 The Emperor is too Enthralled

"The claim of misreading the pulse is merely a euphemistic expression,"

the Empress suspected that the young Imperial Doctor Xiao Sun had been bribed by Murong Jiu.

The other two imperial physicians, Imperial Doctor Xu was her man and would not be bribed, while Imperial Doctor Chen was known for his old-fashioned integrity among the imperial physicians, beholden to no one.

Imperial Doctor Chen said, "Although Imperial Doctor Xiao Sun has only recently joined the Imperial Medical Office, he is proficient in his craft and should not have misread the happy pulse."

He was defending Imperial Doctor Xiao Sun's reputation, as it was he who had recruited him; if his medical skill were lacking, would it not reflect poorly on himself?

Having spoken, Imperial Doctor Chen went to take Murong Jiu's pulse.

Although the Empress was displeased, she said nothing; she waited for Imperial Doctor Chen to announce that Murong Jiu had been pregnant for three months.
