Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife Chapter 1056 - Your Highness Has An Illness! Infertility!

Chapter 1056 Your Highness Has An Illness! Infertility!

“Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s insides are depleted, there are some symptoms of cold uterus and blockage of the fallopian tubes, your period should be irregular, right?” Feng Yuheng sat on the chair next to Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, one hand holding onto Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s wrist while speaking. After saying this, she even pulled up Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s sleeve and carefully examined the arm she exposed, then shook her head: “Your arm is shiny and fair but this is not its usual state. If Ah-Heng is not wrong, Your Highness probably cleans off the hair on your arm regularly to maintain your image, right? And in reality, not only do you have denser hair on your arms, you probably have more hair than usual under your arms and on your legs.”
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui listened to Feng Yuheng’s words. She did not really understand the first half. She understood cold uterus but what were fallopian tubes? However, she understood the later half, and had to admit that Feng Yuheng was extremely correct, she did have denser body hair than usual. When she first entered the palace, it was her family who asked a Miao person to send some good ointment over so she could pass the stage of the verification grandma during the selection. She had been using that ointment since she entered the palace, and until Imperial Concubine Yun entered the palace and the Emperor favoured a new concubine for more than twenty years, she no longer did so. She thought that she did not have to use it anymore, but unexpectedly, she gained that chance at this age and naturally could not allow the Emperor see her unpleasant side, so she asked that Gu Master to make a new batch of ointment for the sake of getting rid of overly dense body hair.
The Emperor frequently praised her fair skin, but unexpectedly, Feng Yuheng exposed it with one sentence, making her feel a little awkward. But thinking about it again, when faced with a doctor, especially a female doctor, there was nothing to feel embarrassed about, so she asked: “This One does not understand what you said, how is overly dense body hair related to the ability to conceive a child?”
Feng Yuheng told her: “It is closely related. Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui is at this age, could it be that you think that your chances of conceiving are as large as those fifteen, sixteen year old young ladies or those in their twenties? I am not throwing cold water on the situation, but for so many years, you already have a son, and moreover, since Father Emperor does not enter the imperial harem, you have given up on the thought of giving birth to another imperial child, so you did not put any effort in this area of maintenance at all, right?”
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui nodded, that was correct.
Feng Yuheng said again: “Polycystic ovary syndrome, the most obvious symptom of this is overly dense body hair. Irregular periods, sometimes happening once every two months, and even once every three months. Of course, the imperial health hall will brew medicines for this and you will recover after eating them. Unfortunately, this does not fix the root of the problem, without solving from the root, which is this polycystic ovary syndrome, it would be useless regardless of how much period adjusting medicine you eat. And irregular periods will have a direct effect in greatly decreasing the chances of conceiving. In addition, for blocked fallopian tubes, I don’t know if you will understand if I explain, the general meaning is that the female’s ability to move the eggs is stuck. With the eggs being blocked, then the movement of the eggs would not succeed. And for children, egg and sperm from the man have to be combined to create one. Not one can be missing. Do you understand?”
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui did not really understand it but was able to grasp a rough idea. After thinking for a while, she gestured to the tea bowls next to her and asked Feng Yuheng: “Do you mean, taking the water in these two tea bowls as an example, they meet to make contact with each other to be able to give birth to a child, but now the tea bowl in my hands as a lid on it and the water cannot come out. So even if the water in your bowl can be poured out normally, the child cannot be born?”
Feng Yuheng nodded, “Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui is still smart and can understand after some explanation, you have some potential!”
Imperial Concubine no longer cared if these words were mockery or praise, the ailment Feng Yuheng described caused her to worry. If it was really like this and her chances of conceiving were that low, what did she need to do to get pregnant? Even if she had the “help” from that Gu Master, it would not be possible, right?
She was a little anxious and asked Feng Yuheng hurriedly: “Can that ailment be cured? How should it be treated? Do you know to treat it?”
Feng Yuheng smiled, “Since I can detect it, of course I can cure it. It’s just that…… she paused, staring at Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui. A short moment later, she asked: “Do you dare to let me treat you?”
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui jolted. Before she was just thinking about her body. Since she was already at this age, with the addition of being dispirited in the palace for more than twenty years, she had never paid attention to maintaining that aspect of her body. Therefore, she mostly believed what Feng Yuheng said. But now that the other party had said this, she started to feel conflicted.
That’s right! Even if Feng Yuheng could treat it, did she dare to allow her to do so? With treatment, it was the same as placing her life in the hands of the other party, eating whatever medicines the other party told her to eat. Medicine is 30% poison, and Feng Yuheng was enemies with her side. If she did something with the medicine, she would not even have time to regret.
When she thought this, the dependence Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui had on Feng Yuheng instantly decreased greatly, she even straightened up, distancing herself from Feng Yuheng slightly, speaking: “That’s true! With you saying that, This One does feel that the risk is rather huge. As for the ailments you mentioned, This One is unable to fully believe it for now. An imperial physician from the imperial health hall will be asked to come tomorrow to take a look. I believe that the imperial physicians in the palace will have a way to fulfill This One’s wish of wanting to give birth to a prince for the Emperor.”
Fu Yuheng smiled, and did not push further, only saying: “Then Your Highness can ask an imperial physician to take a look! However, I believe Your Highness probably did not neglect seeing an imperial physician after you have been favoured, I’m not sure if there are any imperial physicians in the palace who can identify the crux of the issue?” All the ailments were not completely accurate. After all, she only examined a pulse and could not check that thoroughly. Polycystic ovary syndrome was present, she could confirm this, but for the issue of blocked fallopian tubes, she was scaring the other party. If that condition had to be checked, they would have to depend on the medical equipment from the future, just identifying it from examining the pulse was a little far-fetched.
But to Feng Yuheng, what was truth and lie? Since she could push the label of blocked fallopian tubes onto Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, then she had the ability to make her really have blocked fallopian tubes. If it was not easy to carry out treatment, then would it not be easier to cause an illness?
She pulled her hand back and picked up the tea bowl on the table. Covering it with her wide sleeves, she tilted her head back and drank half the contents of the tea bowl.
But the instant she put down the tea bowl, she saw a trace of delight in Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s eyes. Her line of sight was fixed on the tea bowl and when Feng Yuheng placed the tea bowl on the table and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui saw that half the tea was gone, the delight in her eyes became more obvious.
Feng Yuheng had expected this, for the Emperor to be inflicted with Gu, even if the Gu was not raised by Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, she was definitely involved. Towards a person who could implant Gu into the Emperor, it was impossible for Cun Shan Palace to not have any defences at all. And coming here today, Xuan Tianming had already reminded her not to eat anything here, not even drinking a mouthful of water, this was to avoid being inflicted with Gu and become a puppet just like the Emperor.
Of course, Feng Yuheng understood this reasoning, and she was a little more knowledgeable about Gu techniques, so she actually did not drink that half bowl of tea, under the cover of her wide sleeve, she poured it into an empty cup on the counter in her Space, keeping it for research later.
And she caught Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s delight on that instant, firming up her belief that something was wrong with this bowl of tea. She did not bother acting like she had been controlled and wanted to use the chance that she was completely fine to tell Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui that this method was useless again her.
The two of them stopping talking and sat there quietly. Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s gaze contained scrutiny, even expectation, staring at Feng Yuheng, wanting to detect any changes from her expression. However, after observing for a while, she did not detect anything, and only felt that the woman in front of her was no different from normal. It was as if she had not drunk that half bowl of tea at all, there was no special reaction.
But, that was not right! The Gu Master clearly told her, as long as someone drank this tea, there would be a reaction after ten breaths, the other party would worship her a lot and would listen to anything she said, there was no chance of failure.
But it seemed to have failed with Feng Yuheng, not only did she not worship her, she looked in this direction with a mocking expression and asked: “Your Highness Imperial Concubine Gui, why are you looking at me like this? Are there flowers on my face, or do you think I am more beautiful than you and wish to look at me more?” Feng Yuheng laughed as she spoke, “It’s true that I am more good-looking compared to you, I am younger after all, the age gap of more than twenty years isn’t a joke. But Your Highness Imperial Concubine Gui does not need to feel pressured, I am Father Emperor’s daughter-in-law, no matter how beautiful I am, I will only be admired by His Highness the Ninth Prince.”
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui almost threw up blood from this, she already knew Feng Yuheng had a sharp tongue and there was nothing she did not dare to say out loud. The two of them had clashed a few times and she lost every time. She had thought since her position had increased and she was favoured, they would end up in a draw in the worst case and that it was impossible for her to lose. But unexpectedly, when faced with Feng Yuheng, the other party always had ways to render her speechless.
But right now was not the time to bicker, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was still immersed in the thought of why Feng Yuheng was not implanted with Gu, until Feng Yuheng asked her again: “Does Your Highness Imperial Concubine Gui wish for me to treat this or not? In the past, did the people from the imperial health hall mention these ailments to you? For quack doctors like them, it’s not certain if they are able to manage such a task!”
This was when Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui remembered what happened before and felt troubled.
Feng Yuheng was correct, ever since she was favoured, she looked for an imperial physician to examine her, but the imperial physician only said that she was older and the chances of pregnancy were small, but did not explain it as professionally as Feng Yuheng. Moreover, it was not as if she did not understand what the imperial health hall was like. They only said the good things and did positive things, even if she had a serious condition, they would not dare to say it at this time and would even lie to placate her to ensure their own safety.
But if she did not depend on the imperial physicians and depended on Feng Yuheng, would she feel reassured?
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui looked at Feng Yuheng and the more she looked, she felt that this girl was strange, the more she looked, the more she felt that she really could not take advantage of Feng Yuheng in any way. And for some strange reason, she felt that the few incidents which occurred at Sheng Palace were all done by Feng Yuheng, including the Eighth Prince’s illness this time.
As she thought this, she became agitated, and spoke to Feng Yuheng fiercely: “Speak! Were you the one who caused His Highness the Eighth Prince’s illness?”
