Imperial Physician Li stepped forward first to take Gu Youyou’s pulse and asked, "Prince Consort, where do you feel discomfort?"

Gu Youyou replied, "Please examine first, I might be a bit weak."

After checking her pulse, Imperial Physician Li said, "Indeed, you are weak and lacking in vital energy." He then noticed Gu Youyou’s belly had shrunk and hurriedly said, "Prince Consort, have you given birth already?"

Gu Youyou answered with a light smile and a nod, "Yes, I gave birth this morning. Is my condition still normal?"

Imperial Physician Li hastily replied, "Normal, it’s normal. It’s common for a woman to be weak after childbirth. You just need to take good care of your health, I will prescribe some medicine for you..."

"Get out!"

Before Imperial Physician Li could finish, the Empress erupted in anger.

Imperial Physician Li, confused by the scolding but seeing the Empress’s face darker than the bottom of a pot, ultimately said nothing. He quietly stepped aside and didn’t mention prescribing any more.

Then, another doctor arrived, the uncle of Lady Doctor Cui, Imperial Physician Cui.

After he took Gu Youyou’s pulse, he hesitated to speak.

He glanced at the Emperor, then at the Empress, and with a troubled expression, he looked at Gu Youyou.

What exactly is this riddle? What should I say to be correct?

The Emperor then asked, "Imperial Physician Cui, how is the Prince Consort’s health?"

Imperial Physician Cui, with a pained expression, felt that the problem was not how the Prince Consort’s health was but how to speak about it.

It largely depended on what exactly the Emperor and Empress wanted to hear.

Gu Youyou smiled gently at him and said, "Imperial Physician Cui, just speak directly, just tell me about my health condition."

But hadn’t Imperial Physician Li been scolded for telling the truth just moments ago?

Imperial Physician Cui wiped his sweat, glanced at Imperial Physician Li, and then said to the Emperor, "The Prince Consort... just..." Seeing the Empress’s unfriendly glare, Imperial Physician Cui quickly altered his words: "The Prince Consort’s condition is nothing serious. It’s common for women to be a bit weak in vital energy, especially after childbirth, just needs some recuperation. "

The Empress, almost as if she could swallow his heart, harshly said, "Look clearly, has she just given birth?"

Imperial Physician Cui totally confused about what was wrong in what he said, and the other Imperial Physicians were equally puzzled, all craned their necks to look at Gu Youyou’s belly.

The belly did indeed look shrunken, could it be less apparent because of the clothes?

Without being asked by the Emperor, another physician stepped forward to take Gu Youyou’s pulse.

A moment later he released Gu Youyou’s hand, and as he moved to check her belly, he didn’t dare, he just had to bite the bullet and say, "Empress, the Prince Consort has given birth, and the belly... although still a bit big, it will slowly recover. The child is indeed no longer in her belly."

Everyone seemed to nod in agreement.

The Empress, frustrated and furious, said, "She, Gu Youyou, has never been pregnant from the start, of course, the child isn’t in her belly anymore. How are all of you examining her?"

"What...?"

With the Empress’s words, a group of Imperial Physicians were greatly startled.

How could this be?

Is this something to joke about?

Moreover, Gu Youyou’s current weak pulse clearly indicated a great loss of vital energy, a symptom of having just given birth.

The Emperor indifferently asked, "Is what the Empress said true?"

The physicians looked left and right, seeming to guess something.

The Empress wanted to use this opportunity to take down the Prince Consort, but while other things could be falsified, could giving birth be faked?
