"Yes, Your Majesty, this humble subject will do his best."

After saying that, the imperial physician walked over to Qin Feng with a cold sweat, picked up Qin Feng's wrist and started to feel her pulse.

The Imperial Physician's face grew more and more solemn, and fine beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

After a long while, the imperial physician was still pinching Qin Feng's wrist, but the beads of sweat on her forehead were growing more and more, and her hand was also starting to tremble slightly.

"What's wrong with the empress?"

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he stared at the Imperial Physician's face. The Imperial Physician was already scared out of his wits.

"To reply your majesty, this humble subject really can't see what kind of illness the empress has."

The imperial physician knelt on the ground as he spoke, but his legs were still shaking.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard the Imperial Physician's words, he wanted to get angry, but on second thought, he realized that the Imperial Physician's medical skills were inferior to Qin Feng's.

Thinking about that, Xuanyuan Zhiling held back the anger in his chest.

"Your majesty, this humble subject has another method."

The imperial physician seemed to have thought of something and lifted his head to speak to Xuanyuan Zhiling. His eyes flashed with hope.

Xuanyuan Zhiling was also startled when he saw the Imperial Physician's appearance, and his eyes shone with a bright light.

"Then let's give it a try. We must find the illness."

Xuanyuan Zhiling was suddenly in high spirits and quickly rushed to the imperial physician's side. After the imperial physician heard Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, he naturally did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately came to the side of Qin Feng's Phoenix Couch.

Once again picking up Qin Feng's wrist, this time the imperial physician did not directly give Qin Feng a signal for his pulse, but held onto Qin Feng's elbow.

With a slight frown, the imperial physician's expression changed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty …"

Suddenly, the imperial physician's face revealed a trace of surprise and joy. Not only could he save his head this time, he might even receive some rewards.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw the Imperial Physician's expression, he immediately looked at the doctor in confusion. Then, he glanced at Qin Feng's face again.

"What's wrong? What happened to the empress? "

Xuanyuan Zhiling asked nervously, his expression a little worried.

"Your majesty, this humble subject just gave the empress a meridian just now. Because the empress is a person who practices medicine, and her medical skills are superb, this humble subject's meridians are different from ordinary people's veins."

The imperial physician had finally figured out Qin Feng's pulse, so he was overjoyed. At the same time, he was relieved.

"Then what happened to the empress?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling didn't care about listening to the imperial physician's nonsense, and only nervously asked about Qin Feng's situation.

Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling's anxious look, the imperial physician laughed and said, "Your majesty, this empress is blessed. I'm afraid that this empress is pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed!"

As the imperial physician spoke till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression suddenly froze. His mind was blank at first, but then he felt as if the entire world was empty. By the time he had reacted to it, he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"What did you say?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling could not believe it, and stared at the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, this empress is bearing the dragon seed of the Emperor."

Each word was extremely clear, and Xuanyuan Zhiling could no longer doubt them.

"Is this true?" "Are you sure?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice trembled slightly as joy and nervousness filled his heart.

He could not believe it, but he was ecstatic.

"This humble subject is certain that empress is pregnant."

The imperial physician saw the happiness on Xuanyuan Zhiling's face and smiled as well, while speaking with absolute certainty.

But when Xuanyuan Zhiling thought about it again, Qin Feng was only pregnant, how could she faint? Furthermore, she was still in a coma. This was completely against common sense.

"But why is the Queen sleeping?"

Although Xuanyuan Zhiling was happy, he was worried.

At this moment, the imperial physician was slightly startled and sunk into deep thought, as if there was some problem that had stopped him.

"This humble subject thinks that it should be a heart attack. Previously, when empress was pregnant, she was unhappy or had something on her mind, which caused him to be afraid of waking up."

By the time the imperial physician spoke to this point, Xuanyuan Zhiling already completely understood that Qin Feng did not want to live a prison like life anymore. She did not want to wake up, and did not want to see himself.

When he thought of this, Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes quickly flashed with a dim light.

"Then what should Zhen do to make the empress wake up faster?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that all of this was his fault. It was he who had made Qin Feng pregnant, and it was he who had made Qin Feng's mood bad. All of this was caused by him, yet he had been avoiding responsibility.

The imperial physician sighed softly upon hearing Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, but his expression was not heavy.

"That's not difficult. When a person is sleeping or fainting, the only thing that they are still working on is their hearing and a person's hearing is still affecting their subconscious mind, so the emperor only needs to accompany her and chat in empress's ears everyday. Perhaps empress will wake up after a few days."

As the imperial physician spoke till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling had already decided to hand over the matters of the court to his trusted aides. The only thing he needed to do was to wait for Qin Feng to wake up.

After the imperial physician left, only Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng remained in the Blue Bird Hall.

"Qin Feng, why are you unwilling to wake up? "Even if you hate me, you still have to think about our children."

Xuanyuan Zhiling grabbed Qin Feng's hand, and tightly gripped it.

Seeing Qin Feng's pale face, Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart ached. He knew that he should have cared more about Qin Feng like this since a long time ago.

But it was too late to say all this now; Qin Feng was already unconscious.

For a period of three days, in order to accompany Qin Feng, Xuanyuan Zhiling ate and slept at the Blue Bird Hall, and for a period of three days, he did not go to the morning assembly.

The third day, early in the morning, a large group of court officials blocked off the entrance to Blue Bird Hall, so no matter how Qin Chen tried to stop them, everyone wanted to see the emperor with their own eyes.

"Milords, you can't go in. The emperor hasn't woken up yet."

Qin Chen blocked the door, but the civil officials were powerless, and she could not fight against them, so they did not listen to her good advice.

Just as Qin Feng was about to collapse, the Blue Bird Hall door suddenly opened from the inside.

Xuanyuan Zhiling was already fully dressed and was standing inside the door, but when the court officials and Qin Chen saw Xuanyuan Zhiling, they did not dare to argue any further, and one by one, kneeled down and kowtowed to Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"Your majesty, you haven't gone to the morning court or the court for three whole days."

A man who looked like a civil servant did not forget to remind Xuanyuan Zhiling about the political affairs of the court. When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, he immediately frowned unhappily.

"Can't I rest even if I wanted to? Are you all going to force me to death? "

At this point, the officials who were all preparing to speak their piece all looked at each other, not daring to say anything.

But there were always those who were unafraid of death.

"Your majesty, other people can rest, but you are the emperor. The entire world is in your hands, and the safety of the citizens is in your hands. If you are greedy for rest, then why not Jiang Shan and the commoners?"

The person who spoke was the newly appointed Dean of the Department, Qiu Shangjing. This person's biggest characteristic was being straightforward, having a kind of caution and spirit that was not afraid of death. He was personally promoted by Xuanyuan Zhiling, and Xuanyuan Zhiling had taken a fancy to his straightforwardness at that time.

"How dare you, Qiu Shangjing! "It was only three days before the morning court, and I have already renounced the mountains and the commoners?!"

This time, Xuanyuan Zhiling was truly enraged, his eyes staring straight at Qiu Shangjing as he growled.

Qiu Shangjing was different from the other civil officials, ordinary civil officials were cowardly, as long as Xuanyuan Zhiling got angry, they would not dare to say anything, or kneel down and beg for mercy, but Qiu Shangjing was different, even when facing Xuanyuan Zhiling's reproaches, he stood up straight.

"Your majesty, this humble subject has spoken frankly. Your majesty, there is no need to be angry."

As Qiu Shangjing said this, he let out a deep sigh.

"All my dearest officials are doing this for Zhen's own good, for the sake of the entire country. But Zhen is busy with official affairs every day, so much so that he doesn't even know the empress is pregnant with the dragon seed. Now that the empress is unconscious, I just want to spend more time with her."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone softened. He only wanted to stay by Qin Feng's side.

When the crowd of officials heard Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, they couldn't help but be a little moved. Even the normally aloof and arrogant Qiu Shangjing had his head lowered when he heard this.

After some thought, Qiu Shangjing turned around and said to the other officials, "My fellow colleagues, I think we should let the emperor think it over carefully. The tighter we force him, the more conflicted he would be."

Qiu Shangjing could be considered the right-hand man of Xuanyuan Zhiling, everyone in the imperial court knew that Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted Qiu Shangjing to be their Prime Minister, but Qiu Shangjing was still too young.

Qiu Shangjing's words had worked, although the officials were discussing amongst themselves, they still withdrew from the Blue Bird Hall.

Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Chen also finally let out a sigh of relief.

"These civil officials are much more difficult to deal with than the military generals. At most, they would just attack directly. These civil officials truly leave me with no way to deal with them."

Qin Chen could not help but complain, this was the first time Xuanyuan Zhiling had ever heard Qin Chen complain.

Just as Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to answer, a tired voice came out from behind him.

"Who is it? Why is it so noisy so early in the morning?"

It's Qin Feng! It was actually Qin Feng's voice. Just as she finished speaking, Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Chen saw Qin Feng rubbing her drowsy eyes as she walked out from the Blue Bird Hall, her complexion turning much better. It should be that this sleep of hers had pretty much replenished her sleep.

Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Chen opened their eyes wide, shocked.

"Qin Feng, you finally woke up!"

Xuanyuan Zhiling immediately rushed forward to hug Qin Feng, Qin Chen followed closely behind, the two people were extremely excited.

"empress, you're finally awake. Qin Chen will immediately go wash the Empress's face and help her change her clothes!"

Qin Chen did not dare to hesitate and ran out. Xuanyuan Zhiling hugged Qin Feng tightly, not letting go.

"You're holding me so tightly that it's almost strangling me to death."

Qin Feng said helplessly.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xuanyuan Zhiling couldn't really do anything as he let go of his hands and stared straight at Qin Feng, as if he no longer recognized Qin Feng.

"Aren't you afraid of strangling me? Aren't you afraid of strangling your child?"

Qin Feng raised her eyebrows, as she said with a complex expression.

Xuanyuan Zhiling was startled upon hearing Qin Feng's words, and looked at him in disbelief.

"You already know that you are pregnant with my child?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling raised his eyebrows. Originally, he thought that Qin Feng was pitiful, but he didn't think that she would already know about the matter of getting pregnant.

Qin Feng nodded indifferently.

"Then you are truly too despicable. You actually didn't properly protect your body, causing my child to suffer in your stomach."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone carried a tinge of reproach.

Qin Feng was originally smiling, but after hearing what Xuanyuan Zhiling said, he immediately became angry.

"You still have the nerve to say that you were lucky to meet another woman before, do you think that my mood will be good?!"

Somehow, Qin Feng was so angry that even Xuanyuan Zhiling was surprised.

"Right now, I'm the emperor. Is this how you speak to the emperor?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes were wide open, he could not believe his own eyes, a pregnant woman, could her temperament change this much?

But what Xuanyuan Zhiling did not expect was that the powerful one was yet to come.

Qin Feng pointed at her stomach and roared, completely unlike her gentle and calm appearance from before.

"How dare you do something to me? Your child is in my hands! "

With that sentence, Xuanyuan Zhiling was completely defeated.
