Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!
Chapter 414 - 402 Joyful Pulse

Chapter 414: Chapter 402 Joyful Pulse

Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but slightly relax.

At least from the looks of things, Your Majesty didn’t seem to have any serious issues.

This allowed his hanging heart to settle down a bit.

Bowing his body, he came before the Emperor, then knelt down and kowtowed, performing the ritual of respect.

To this, the young Emperor didn’t pay too much attention.

At this time, a Palace Maid attending to the side quickly placed a cushion specially used for pulse diagnosis, then the young Emperor laid his hand upon it.

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Physician carefully bowed his body and approached the young Emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you know what’s wrong with your body?"

While reaching out to take the young Emperor’s pulse, the Imperial Physician asked; hearing this, the young Emperor pondered briefly, then spoke:

"Recently, I don’t know if it’s due to eating something bad or some other reason, but I often feel nauseous. Frequently retching."

Combining what the young Emperor said with his complexion, the Imperial Physician was somewhat confused about what exactly was going on. Could it be the Emperor had eaten something bad?

But the more he thought about it, the less likely it seemed. All the food consumed by Your Majesty would have been tasted by the eunuchs first, meaning any problematic items wouldn’t reach Your Majesty’s lips. But if it wasn’t due to food poisoning, what else could it be?

At this time, the physician focused all his thoughts on the pulse felt under his fingers.

Feeling the Emperor’s exceptionally strong heartbeat, the Imperial Physician suddenly furrowed his brows tightly.

Then, as if encountering something horrifying, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Seeing this reaction, the young Emperor was shocked, and Ying Yi by her side was startled as well.

"What’s the matter? Why such an expression? Could it be that I have contracted some bizarre illness?"

It was no wonder the young Emperor was so tense; the expression shown by the physician was excessively alarming.

His look of shock was unparalleled, as though he had truly stumbled upon some inconceivable disease.

Beside them, Ying Yi was also extremely anxious, fearing that something might indeed be wrong.

However, after the young Emperor asked that question, the Imperial Physician did not respond, but stood there, dumbfounded,

as if he had turned into a fool.

This sight only deepened the puzzlement, and Ying Yi immediately demanded in a stern voice:

"What exactly is going on? His Majesty is asking you."

Startled by the rebuke, the Imperial Physician quickly came to his senses, yet sweat immediately broke out on his forehead and he hurriedly bowed to apologize to the young Emperor:

"Yes, yes, I’m sorry, Your Majesty. The pulse just now was so shocking, this subject might have misdiagnosed. Let me check again, allow me to check again, please."

Hearing this, the young Emperor also frowned and started to ponder,

Why mention a misdiagnosis? What exactly had this man discovered? Could it be that he found out that I am actually a woman?

With this on her mind, the young Emperor dared not keep her hand out and retracted it immediately, frowning deeply and staring angrily at the Imperial Physician, she demanded:

"What exactly is going on? Speak up, what was so shocking just now? What is the issue with my pulse?"

At these words, the already nervous Imperial Physician was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy from the young Emperor:

"Spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life! Just now, in a moment of carelessness, I diagnosed Your Majesty’s pulse as resembling a ’joyful’ pulse, which has filled this subject with dread.

I must have diagnosed the pulse incorrectly; I wish to take Your Majesty’s pulse again."

This statement struck the young Emperor’s heart like a thunderbolt, and likewise stunned Ying Yi’s,

leaving both of them momentarily dumbfounded.

Especially the young Emperor, who was indeed taken aback, her mind ringing with two words, "joyful pulse."

"What’s going on? Joyful pulse? Does it mean that I am with child? But how is that possible?"

At this thought, the young Emperor suddenly remembered an instance when she genuinely forgot to use her Inner Strength to expel [the essence].

Later, she got distracted by other matters and forgot about it completely.

So it might really be a possibility.

This left the young Emperor somewhat unprepared, stunned in place,

while Ying Yi was the first to respond to the revelation.

She also realized that it must have been a careless encounter with Minister Lin that led to the young Emperor now having a joyful pulse.

After all, Ying Yi knew the Emperor was in fact a woman, so while the pregnancy might seem terrifying to the Imperial Physician, it was not an outrageous revelation for the two of them.

Indeed, pregnancy for a woman is an utterly normal affair; it’s merely a matter of unusual circumstances.

Now, with the Emperor pretending to be male, having her with child was most certainly not a wise move.

Perhaps it was due to the young Emperor always having lived as a man; even though her reactions had been abnormal these days, no one had thought in that direction.

After all, no sane person would associate a man’s vomiting with pregnancy.
