Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!

Chapter 415: Chapter 402 Joy Pulse_2

Seeing the young Emperor not speaking nor paying attention to him, the Imperial Physician became even more terrified and knelt there, constantly kowtowing:

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty. I must be senile. I deserve death, my offenses warrant a thousand deaths. How could I possibly diagnose a joyous pulse? This must be due to my lack of skill. I must have been mistaken. Please grant me another chance, Your Majesty. Let me personally take Your Majesty’s pulse again."

At that very moment, in the heart of the Imperial Physician, he naturally thought that he must have felt the wrong pulse, since how could a man possibly have a joyous pulse?

Or perhaps the young Emperor’s pulse was truly unusual.

However, such a mistake could lead to a bloody calamity, and at the same time, he was regretting it in his heart.

Why speak out after the discovery?

If it had only been a shock and he had retaken the pulse again, it would have passed, but he should not have spoken his thoughts out loud.

This led him to fall into a place of no return.

At this time, if the Emperor was displeased in the slightest, it wasn’t impossible for him to directly have him taken out and beheaded.

Sure enough, when the young Emperor came to his senses and looked at the Imperial Physician, his eyes were already filled with the intent to kill.

However, the Imperial Physician, seeing this intent to execute a chicken, would not think it was because he knew something he shouldn’t.

He would only think that he had misdiagnosed, and the Emperor’s ailment angered the Emperor, inciting the desire to execute him, an incompetent physician.

Ying Yi, on the other hand, was like a worm in the Emperor’s stomach, so with just a glance from the Emperor, she knew what His Majesty meant.

Obviously, the Imperial Physician knew something he shouldn’t, so he couldn’t be left alive.

Also precisely for this reason, Ying Yi was ready to take action to take him away at the first opportunity. However, just as Ying Yi was about to make her move.

The young Emperor suddenly spoke up to stop her:

"Wait. Let me ask you, was the pulse you just took accurate?"

At this time, the young Emperor’s gaze was piercing as he stared at the Imperial Physician, as if the Imperial Physician would be instantly killed by that look if he dared to utter a word of denial.

The Imperial Physician was also so frightened that he trembled all over, and hastily knelt down to admit his guilt, at the same time repeating that he was incompetent and had misdiagnosed.

But the young Emperor, whose heart was like a clear mirror, simply waved his hand and looked coldly at the Imperial Physician. After hesitating for a long while, he finally spoke:

"Come forward and take my pulse again, examine it closely. If you dare to conceal even a hint of truth, I shall execute your entire family."

After hearing the Emperor’s words, the Imperial Physician kowtowed quickly to thank him for the grace, thankful that the Emperor was willing to give him another chance — surely this time he could hold his composure.

In a word, he dared not speak carelessly anymore.

No matter what kind of condition he detected this time, he must put a positive spin on it.

He himself also found it very strange.

Why did he misdiagnose just now? No matter what, he has been an Imperial Physician for decades, and for such a simple matter, he wouldn’t make a mistake.

That’s why he was truly curious now about what had happened just now — whether he was distracted, or if there were other reasons?

He really wanted to feel the Emperor’s pulse again to see whether he had misdiagnosed or whether there was some hidden story behind it.

And so, as the young Emperor stretched out his hand again, the Imperial Physician also shakily stood up and cautiously approached the Emperor, placing his fingers on the Emperor’s pulse once more.

This time, he hurriedly closed his eyes, deeply focusing his mind to feel the pulse coming from the Emperor’s wrist.

But as time went on, the expression on his face grew paler, and eventually, large beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, sliding down one by one.

In the end, he fell straight to the ground with a shocked expression on his face.

He couldn’t help but mutter to himself:

"Impossible, how can this be possible? I’ve practiced medicine for many years and have never seen such a strange pulse, how can this be?

This is absolutely impossible. I must have been mistaken, I must have felt it wrong."

Seeing the look on the Imperial Physician, the young Emperor already had an answer in his heart and knew that what the other had said was absolutely not a lie.

As soon as the Imperial Physician started taking the pulse, Ying Yi decisively had all servants driven away from the room, ordering them to stay far away.

Therefore, at this very moment, within this grand hall, there were only His Majesty and Ying Yi, along with an Imperial Physician present.

It was precisely because of this, that the countenance of the Imperial Physician had not been observed by outsiders.

And at this time, the young Emperor’s voice was coldly transmitted:

"Speak, what exactly is the matter?

If there’s a single lie, I will make good on my word. I will execute your entire family."

Yu Yiwentong, who was originally sitting there with a heart full of trepidation, shuddered at these words, then hurriedly knelt and kowtowed.

Her head struck the ground, unable to dare rise again, her entire body trembling incessantly like a sieve.

"Speak!"

Seeing that there was a prolonged silence, the young Emperor immediately shouted coldly, and with this shout, the other party was so frightened that they trembled violently once more, then lifted their face, showing an expression full of fear.

"Your Majesty, spare my life! This servant, this servant is incompetent. I may no longer be able to serve as the Imperial Physician, for my old eyes are dim, and I fail to detect the true meaning of Your Majesty’s pulse.

Just now, I once again felt that Your Majesty’s pulse indicated joy."

After saying this, he seemed as if all strength had been drained from his body, collapsing completely to the ground.

As for why he spoke his mind, it was entirely due to the young Emperor’s overwhelming aura, terrifying him; he believed that if he did not reveal this matter, the young Emperor would order the execution of his entire family at the next moment.

Compared to the lives of his entire family, sacrificing himself was much more appropriate.

This was also why he, despite the fear in his heart, spoke all that was on his mind.

At this time, the young Emperor had also truly confirmed what was in his heart, affirming it as the truth.

He was not suffering from food poisoning, nor was it due to a lack of rest in recent days, but that, in fact, within his own body was the child of that worthless man.

For a moment, this left the young Emperor somewhat at a loss.

After all, how she – merely a young girl – could not feel tense and frightened in the face of such an event?

The young Emperor even didn’t know what to do, didn’t know how to face this situation.

To the side, Ying Yi was not faring much better; despite always appearing cold and acting ruthlessly and decisively.

For such a situation as now, she also had never experienced before.

Thus, she could only stand there, eyes wide with anticipation, watching the young Emperor, waiting for his command.

Perhaps it was the murderous intent in the young Emperor’s eyes, or perhaps the sense of danger emitting from Ying Yi’s presence that was felt.

Who knows where the Imperial Physician mustered the courage to kneel up and bow respectfully towards the young Emperor.

Afterwards, he said magnanimously:

"This old servant has failed Your Majesty’s trust! Your Majesty, do not be enraged; old Chen will take his leave in this way."

After saying this, the man actually stood up and charged headfirst toward a nearby pillar.

The Imperial Physician had his own sense of balance in his heart; after his noble sacrifice here today, his entire family would not be implicated, and his dear children and the elderly would have a proper end.

However, it was at this moment when the young Emperor suddenly shouted:

"Stop him."

Ying Yi, already waiting for his command, instantly rushed out.

Just as the Imperial Physician was about to slam his head against the pillar, Ying Yi swiftly reached out.

She roughly grabbed him and flung him back, tossing him down in front of the young Emperor.
