"Your Majesty, Concubine Lian has caught a chill, with cold invading her body—and the child not yet due shows signs of instability!" Imperial Physician Fang stood to the side, bending forward with eyebrows lowered and spoke with utmost care.
The emperor, upon hearing that Concubine Lian was with child, showed a flash of delighted surprise, then anger burst forth, "Imperial Physician Fang, no matter what, you must ensure the safety of the child in Concubine Lian's womb for us."
"This old servant will do his best."
