It seems that Zhuanshi's palace has been getting crowded day by day since she was inhabited by the Empress. The Han physician even almost assumed that the Zhuanshi palace was his third home after his home and the imperial clinic.
This morning the atmosphere of the palace is very lively, even the look of a happy face mixed with tension is depicted in every look of the palace residents. By noon the news of the Queen's stupor was heard everywhere. Turning a tense face into a real tension.
With Eunuch Kang in tow, Han healers ran from the imperial clinic towards Zhuanshi Palace. Not paying attention that in his hand is still clutched some new Chrysanthemum flower stems in the pick. Seeing the Emperor's face being so anxious, healer Han hurriedly saluted.
"Greet His Majesty the Emperor."
"Strike to stand! Check the Empress, hurry!" The Emperor's order was absolute, the Han physician immediately ran to the side of the bed, only to realize that some Chrysanthemum flowers were in his hands. Without thinking of the rules anymore, physician Han stuffed the flower into the hands of Eunuch Kang behind him.
Receiving the Chrysanthemum flower, Eunuch Kang's face fickled between confusion and anxiety and a speck of amused taste.
For a long time everyone was drowning in silence. Even the servants did not dare to breathe too loudly. The Han physician examined the Empress's pulse several times. Trying to make sure of something.
"How's it?!" The Emperor's question was heard breaking the silence. Some of the servants gasped in surprise. Hearing the question, healer Han inched back from beside the bed.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Queen's pulse is stable. There is no serious illness suffered by Her Majesty the Empress. It's just that the Empress seems to have some liver problems and that could be disrupting the health of her fetus."
"Heart problems? Waitaminute! A fetus? What do you mean Han physician?! Speak properly!"
"In reply to Her Majesty, one of the reasons the Empress fainted was because Her Majesty was pregnant."
"containing? Did you just say my empress was pregnant? A baby? You're..."
"Yes His Majesty the Emperor. The servant needs to check back when the Empress has regained consciousness to find out how old the womb is."
There was no reply from Emperor Tian Yi, at a glance a shadow of happiness appeared on his handsome face.
"Your Majesty," call Eunuch Kang slowly.
"aaaa. Did you hear that Eunuch Kang? The queen is pregnant again. She's pregnant again." The Emperor's shout of success made the ladies shocked again.
"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor." Eunuch Kang's cry was imitated by everyone present.
"St!! You shut up, don't make the Empress wake up uncomfortable! Physician Han, you wait outside until the Empress dies. Zhen needs you to check on the Empress again!"
"Hamba is ready to execute the command."
"You're all out!"
"Good."
When Eunuch Kang came out the very end, he did not forget to close the door slowly. Afterwards the old eunuch approached the Han physician and held out a Chrysanthemum flower in his hand.
"Tabib Han, your flowers!"
"Ah. Is correct. Eunuch Kang, sorry for my impoliteness. Previously I was picking some Chrysanthemum stalks to be dried into medicinal ingredients. But..."
"No problem Han healers. What matters now is the Queen's health."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Eunuch Kang nodded in understanding. Staring at the closed door behind him with a million meanings.

The news of the Queen's stupor was heard up to the palace of the concubines. Each of their personal servants reported the events that took place in the courtyard of the main Hall up to Zhuanshi Palace. The last words of the servants made some concubines gasp.
"Hamba heard that this time the Empress was back in pregnancy. The Emperor even waited for the Empress personally."
His servant's words made Jiali almost slam the teacup in his grasp. It had not been a day that he had entered the palace and had heard such a sickening thing.
"So, most likely the Emperor won't be here?"
"Don't call me miss! I'm a concubine now!" Tukas Jiali was angry.
"Okay, Your Majesty's concubine."
I don't care about the thoughts of the other concubines, but I should be able to get the Emperor's affection. Whatever way.

The sun had returned to its quarrel just a moment ago. The twilight breeze swayed some willow tree leaves. The lanterns began to light up, lighting up the darkness of the night with its dim light.
In Zhuanshi Palace, the Emperor did not stop pacing. Suppose Eunuch Kang was inside, then surely the old eunuch would have prevented the Emperor from behaving like that. It is not the behavior of an emperor.
Tired of walking around, Tian Yi came back to the bed where Meihua was asleep. He lifted the small and delicate hand into his own grasp. One of his hands gently stroked the top of his wife's head. Approaching his face slowly, Tian Yi intended to give a kiss on that beautiful face, before...
"Open.uhukkk.." The Empress coughed loudly, successfully making the Emperor's countenance back several jengkal.
"Bao-yu, you're finally awake. Tell me is anyone sick? Physician Han?! Comehere!"
The hasty footsteps belonging to some people then sounded. Physician Han and Eunuch Kang were at the very front. Immediately after obtaining permission from the Emperor, the Han physician began to examine the Empress.
"Your Majesty. What's actually going on? Shouldn't you be attending a dinner with the concubines now?" The Empress's question of success made everyone look awkwardly at the emperor.
"You're sick. How could Zhen possibly go have some fun?!"
"There's now a Han physician here. Your Majesty you can go!"
Finish already. After this there will be a war between the Emperor and the Empress.
Her Majesty the Empress did not even know that the Emperor had been waiting for her for most of the day.
Aiyaa. What if they fight?
Everyone's thoughts were different, but it was still worrying that the Emperor and the Empress would fight again after this.
Unexpectedly by everyone, the Emperor's tone then softened.
"Bao-yu, Zhen would rather be here with you than having fun without you!"
The Empress's cheeks slightly met red, yet she tried to turn her gaze the other way. That was when physician Han finished checking.
"Report Your Majesty the Emperor. There are no serious problems to worry about. The empress and the baby-to-be are fine."
"You've heard, me and... Physician Han what did you just say?!"
"Your Majesty the Empress, you and your fetus are fine. At present if the servant does not wrongly estimate the age of your womb is almost two months."
"Congratulations to the Emperor and Empress." Eunuch Kang's call was followed by all the servants present. That cry also made Meihua aware of her insecurities.
"really? Is this true?" Lirihan Meihua made the emperor return to expel his servants. Slowly near the Queen.
"That's right, Hua'er. You're pregnant again, carrying our child. This time Zhen promised with all his heart. Zhen won't let you and our son suffer anymore. Zhen will take care of you! If necessary with Zhen's own life."
There was a deep silence in the room. Meihua looked at the face of her soulmate, staring deep. As if asking to be convinced.
"Your Majesty, is this real?" That sentence came out of the Queen's lips. A word full of doubt.
"It's surreal. It's real."
"Thank you Tian. Thanks."
Simultaneously, Tian Yi could not at all stem his desire to cling the empress' body into his arms.
Outside the night wind blew warmly, the crackling of insects sounded faint.
