The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 460 Twins?

Qin Rou was so shocked that she grabbed Kangxi's arm with both hands.

Kangxi stretched out a big hand and clasped his ten fingers tightly with Qinrou's. With his other hand, he covered Qinrou's slender hand that was holding her arm, held her, and brought her down. The strength of his two hands was light or heavy, with a strong sense of comfort.

Make her feel at ease and reassure her!
It was Kangxi's instinct as an emperor to plan before taking action. The hesitation of the imperial doctors caught the emperor's attention. For a moment, Kangxi was thinking about summoning the entire imperial medical department to the palace to help Qinrou save her pregnancy.
If he really couldn't save her,... Kangxi closed his eyes, his expression cold. It was no big deal to decide who to punish. However...

Kangxi didn't dare to think too much about it. As soon as he thought about it, the anger, murderous intent and pain in his heart burst out.

The two doctors were shocked to hear this, and also the emperor's rage. They all kowtowed and dared not stand up. One doctor hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I checked the concubine's pulse and found something strange. It seems... it seems..."

The imperial physician was hesitant, not knowing whether he should say it out loud. If he said it out loud, it would be a happy event, but he was not so sure. If it turned out not to be the case, it would be their fault, and at least they would be charged with deceiving the emperor!

Therefore, I hesitated and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Qin Rou saw the hesitant look on the imperial physician's face, and she grabbed Kangxi with both hands, drawing strength from them as support.

She is just a mortal, and no matter how stable her heart is, she will have moments of insecurity. At this moment, she has to accept possible bad news. If she has no support, she doesn't know what will happen to her?

"It seems like...what? Just tell me." Qin Rou tried to remain calm, but she was still flustered and the moment she spoke, all the emotions burst out.

The voice interfered, and the words trembled directly with the words that came out.

She acted as if she could remain calm even if everything turned upside down.

Emperor Kangxi could understand her panic the best. He tried hard to hold on to her stability. His ten fingers were connected, and he could feel the strength that made her unstable. The calmness on his face... everything revealed her complicated emotions.

"If I stick my head out, I'll get a knife. If I lock my head, I'll get a knife. I can bear it." Qin Rou said. The feeling of being half dead is too torturous. Her voice is still unstable!

But the meaning of the words was firm.

"Speak!" Kangxi was considerate of Qinrou's emotions and was not so nice to the imperial doctors. He uttered one word, which was the only patience he had left.

Almost instantly, the imperial physician realized that their hesitation had caused the emperor and the concubine to misunderstand them. They dared not delay any longer!

Closing his eyes and steeling his heart, the imperial physician quickly said, "Your Majesty, I checked the woman's pulse and it's more than 10,000. The concubine's pulse is quite different, it seems like she's pregnant with twins."

Because they were not sure and were afraid of being held responsible, they wanted to be safe before reporting. However, after scaring the emperor and concubines, they dared not conceal it anymore. Whether their entire clan would be exterminated in the future was extremely important; but now, whether they could save their lives and property was more important.

Qin Rou was startled, but her hands were still shaking. Kangxi was also caught off guard by the news. He looked at the kneeling imperial physician and felt like heaven and hell in one moment. "Twins?"

Kangxi was overjoyed and laughed heartily. "Good! Twins are good!"

Twins are good! Whether the twins in the belly are princes or princesses, they are both excellent. In the old customs of Manchuria and Mongolia, they have been the embodiment of auspiciousness since ancient times.

Secondly, since there was a difference between the twins, then the heir in her belly was the same. Kangxi naturally laughed heartily, which was the best thing! She was fine.

It was a great joy that the emperor was so happy, but the imperial doctors had to consider everything carefully.

It was still uncertain that Concubine Xu Nala was pregnant with two heirs, and the imperial physician was even more afraid that the emperor would be happy for nothing. The imperial physician was a Manchu and knew what twins meant.

Not forgetting to avoid the thunder, he quickly said: "It is only three months that the concubine is pregnant now. I am worried. Maybe it is just a single baby! It may not be twins in the belly."

When the time comes, they can be asked to conjure up another royal heir. They are just imperial doctors, and things in the world are beyond human power. If they are asked to find another royal heir, they will not be able to do so.

The emperor should not be too happy now, or he will be punished for the sudden single pregnancy! Just thinking of this, the faces of the imperial doctors were full of bitterness.

If this is true! It is their fate, and they have no choice but to accept the punishment. The eight banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are all slaves of the emperor.

The two imperial physicians were colleagues. One of them admitted it, and the other could not resist to the death. The pulse was indeed so different, otherwise it might be twins. He was just not well-trained and could not do it.

There is no future.

But you also have to avoid lightning.

Therefore, the imperial physician also said: "Your Majesty, that is true, but when a woman is pregnant with twins, the pulse is the least important. It is still necessary to rely on the subsequent fetal movements and other conditions to be sure. The pulse can also be deceiving."

So, the emperor should not be too happy and should not look back. If he is too happy for nothing and wants to chop off their heads, then innocent people will suffer.

The second imperial physician spoke bluntly and told the emperor directly that it might be the concubine Nara's pulse that was abnormal, indicating the pulse of twins.

"That's true." The imperial physician, who was born in the Eight Banners of the Manchus, quickly spoke up to prove his point, and even gave an example, "The little prince in the concubine's belly is more lively and stronger, and he may also have such a false pulse."

Perhaps, there was only one child in Concubine Nara's belly from beginning to end.

If there is only one royal heir in the future, don't blame the imperial doctors for not reminding you.

Kangxi was more inclined to believe that it was twins and was overjoyed, but he also knew that the pulse was not that simple, especially the pulse of twins. Imperial doctors usually relied on fetal movements, the size of the pregnancy, etc. to confirm and verify the pregnancy!
Although Kangxi was extremely excited, he suppressed his emotions and told the imperial physician, "I will leave Concubine Nara's baby to you."

Qin Rou felt that Kangxi was genuinely happy, just like how excited he was when she was pregnant. He was like a young man, not a shrewd, majestic and cunning emperor.

Things succeed when kept secret, and fail when leaked. Kangxi never thought that he had kept the palace clean. How many rats were there hiding in the dark?

Kangxi considered it carefully and added, with a strong warning, "As for the pulse, there is no need to mention it, not a single word. You cannot mention it in the palace, and you cannot mention it outside the palace, in your dreams, or in your sleep. Just shut your mouths!"

This means that we cannot mention the pulse condition until it is confirmed.

The same was true of the pulse presented to the Queen!
"Your humble servant obeys your order." No matter how hesitant the imperial doctors were, they had no choice but to obey the emperor's orders.

Unless they don't want to live anymore.

They are all good gynecologists, especially at observing pregnancy pulses. Fortunately, it will be almost gone in about another month.

Twins are hard to see, and the pulse of Concubine Nara is also slower. It's not that there is no precedent!
The imperial doctors were calculating.
