Duan Changchuan underwent another day of acupuncture in Ming Sheng Hall, and Imperial Doctor Fang also hurried back to the palace.

So, Duan Changchuan, Bai Su, Divine Physician Huang, and Fang Moyan sat in the study room and began to discuss what to do next.

“It’s now three months, and it won’t take long for the belly to show … The weather is not hot now, and His Majesty wears a lot of clothes. But when summer comes, it will inevitably be noticed. Moreover, he can’t go to court with a swollen belly two or three months before childbirth. It’s better to think of a plan to deal it.”

After Fang Moyan finished speaking, Duan Changchuan and Bai Su’s expressions became serious.

It had to be said that how to hide it from the ministers and not let them know what the emperor was expecting was a headache. It’s also a headache how to officially acknowledge this child under the names of the emperor and the empress …

The baby in Duan Changchuan’s belly will be the first child in the palace after it was born. If it was a boy, it would be the crown prince. If it was a girl, it would be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

How could the most distinguished prince (or princess) in the palace not even have a name? Moreover, this was just the first child … What would happen if there were a second or third child in the future? This matter had to be solved.

Thinking of this, Bai Su whispered, “Is there a disease that will make someone’s belly big? We can say that I’m the one who bears the child, that won’t be a problem. I can stuff something in my clothes to fake it. The problem is His Majesty’s belly, how can we get away with it?”

This question confused the two Divine Physicians. The master and disciple looked at each other and frowned together.

Old Huang scratched his head, “This … there is such a disease, but this disease is not something that can happen to someone like him. It’s quite common among the commoners, called schistosomiasis, contracted from dirty water. His Majesty has delicate skin and is provided with three meals a day. The water for washing his face and rinsing his mouth is carefully prepared, so he can’t have it. Moreover, even if we say he got infected, who can survive for six months with a big stomach disease? Don’t mention why it will be bigger during the treatment process, it can even disappear suddenly in one day. It doesn’t make sense.”

Fang Moyan also shook his head helplessly, “It’s really not appropriate … If it’s spread, any physician in Shengjing can sense that something is wrong.”

[This won’t work, that won’t work.]

Bai Su couldn’t help but pinch her eyebrows. She turned her head and saw Duan Changchuan looking at her.

Although the young man tried his best to suppress his emotions, the panic in his beautiful eyes still could not be concealed.

She hurriedly held the child’s hand and quietly released the soothing pheromones, teasing him, “Why don’t you just say that you ate too much … and gained weight?”

The hand she held immediately retracted. At the same time, he also rolled his eyes.

“Always coming up with silly ideas. Huainan is having a pandemic, and people’s lives are unknown. Yet, I have become fat from eating in the palace. What will the people think of me?”

Bai Su lowered her head and looked at his stomach. Then, she pretended to be deep in thought and stroked her chin, “But I think it’s possible … We just have to completely suppress the plague in Huainan within two months. You should eat less for now and don’t let the baby get too fat. I’ll feed you both properly after I return from Huainan.”

She was punched hard by her own O.

“Improper.”

–

As the two bantered, Old Huang, who was sitting next to them, suddenly widened his eyes.

He almost stood up and asked Bai Su, “You want to go to Huainan? What are you going to Huainan for? There’s famine and plague there, are you going to suffer?”

The young man quietly glanced at his Alpha and explained, “The Empress is going to Huainan to prevent and cure the plague.”

Divine Physician Huang’s eyebrows immediately twisted into a fried dough twist. He looked at the two of them as if they were joking, “… The Empress is a woman who doesn’t understand medicine. How can she prevent and cure the plague? Is she going to be a mascot? It will be better for me to go than her. Although I didn’t go during the pandemic thirty years ago, at least I’m still a physician. The Empress doesn’t understand medicine at all, wouldn’t she be just causing trouble there?”

Bai Su didn’t even say anything about the criticism, but the “wife-protecting” young man couldn’t stand it and retorted, “Who said the Empress can’t do it? Many of the ideas to preventing the pandemic this time came from the Empress. Imperial Physician Sun even praised her.”

Divine Physician Huang, “…”

“Old Man Sun said it was good? No … he was probably just being polite. How can you two young ones take it seriously? I know you’re worried about Huainan, but you can’t act recklessly. Look at what the Empress said, want to suppress the plague in two months. How can you suppress it? With what will you suppress it? The plague has just begun, and no one knows what kind of disease it is. It might take two months only to experiment with the medicines. Not to mention completely suppress the plague, it would be quite good if she could stop it in Huainan and prevent it from spreading outside. That’s a plague, how can it end so easily?”

Duan Changchuan, “…”

This person’s words are unreasonable. He obviously understood nothing and still talked to himself. If it weren’t for his good medical skills, Duan Changchuan would have kicked him out long ago.

Duan Changchuan took a deep breath, “Do you think I want her to go? That day, I invited Imperial Physician Sun to the palace to discuss the matter of Huainan. The Empress advised a few countermeasures and precautions, and Imperial Physician Sun suggested she personally go to Huainan to oversee things. I couldn’t stop him.”

As the young man spoke, he placed a hand on his lower abdomen. He lowered his eyes.

Bai Su saw the child slightly biting his lips and knew that he was upset again because of this matter. She quickly held him and gently stroked his back.

“Don’t be angry. It’s not good for the baby.”

The young man’s lips involuntarily curled down and he whispered, “I’m not angry …”

He sniffed lightly and looked at the eunuch waiting at the door, “Chang Le, go and get the method that Empress discussed with Master Sun about preventing the epidemic last time. It’s in the drawer in front of the table. Show it to Master Huang.”

The eunuch hurriedly bowed and entered, “Yes.”

–

Not long after, Chang Le returned with a stack of papers. He spread and placed them on the table in front of Divine Physician Huang and Fang Moyan.

“This is the manuscript from that day. Old Sun transcribed another copy before he left and brought it back to his residence. I keep this one.”

Duan Changchuan sipped his tea and introduced it to them.

The master and disciple immediately began to study it seriously.

They were several pages of the manuscript. The two read it from beginning to end without missing a word. When they raised their head again, their gaze towards Bai Su had completely changed.

“This … was this really proposed by the Empress? No wonder … No wonder Old Man Sun insisted her to go. These things! Even I, Old Man Huang, want to bring the Empress along!”

After saying that, he slapped his thigh, “That’s right. If Old Man Sun can go, why can’t I? I can go too! No, I must go and give it a try! I can’t let Old Man Sun monopolize such a good thing!”

So, the usually carefree old man grabbed the papers and ran out, “I’m going to pack my bags! Your Majesty, Your Highness, we’ll see each other again when the epidemic is over! No, it’s not right, Your Highness, let’s meet in Huainan!”

After saying that, he ran off like the wind. Leaving Bai Su, Duan Changchuan, and Fang Moyan… all with dumbfounded expressions.

Bai Su, the Alpha, was the first to regain her senses.

She hurriedly grabbed the young man’s arm, “Duan Changchuan, have your people stop him! While I’m in Huainan, he must stay in the palace and not go anywhere.”

Although this old troublemaker seemed very unreliable, there was one thing that Bai Su could see clearly, his medical skills were indeed amazing.

Although Fang Moyan and Yu Sheng had treated Duan Changchuan before, yet with just a slight adjustment to the prescription and another round of acupuncture from old man Huang, the little child immediately became lively again. Completely different from before, when he seemed as fragile as a porcelain doll.

During the two months she was in Huainan, old man Huang had to stay by Duan Changchuan’s side. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be at ease.

Furthermore … she still had other matters to discuss with this Divine Physician. She absolutely could not let him run away like this.

Duan Changchuan’s reaction was also very fast. He said to the air in front of him, “Catch him.”

A figure flew out of the room in an instant.

After a short while, the old man was carried back.

As for the shadow that flew out, it disappeared right after putting the person down.

Fang Moyan and Chang Le were very well-behaved. They lowered their heads and quietly became unconscious tree stumps. As for this Divine Physician Huang, after coming back, was completely dumbfounded.

“I was walking when I suddenly spun on the spot and began to move horizontally …?”

His expression was like: Where am I? What happened just now? Was it an immortal technique?

The expression of this great Divine Physician was too bewildered… Bai Su burst out laughing.

Then, she patiently explained, “It was His Majesty who ordered someone to bring you back. You cannot go to Huainan for the pandemic. His Majesty’s body will be heavier in the future. In this palace, I’m still worried with only Imperial Physician Fang and Yusheng are here.”

The old man glared at her, “What’s there to be worried about? They’re my, Huang Aweng’s disciples and are very capable. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around in the Imperial Hospital and inquire, don’t mention this Fang lad, even Yusheng that brat, who dares to say that they’re better than then?”

Bai Su, “But I’m still not at ease.”

Old man Huang said, “Your Little Majesty lives in the palace, not some dangerous place with mountains of daggers and seas of fire. There’s nothing to worry about? How about this, I’ll go for two months. In two months, nothing will happen to your Little Majesty. When two months are up, I, Huang Aweng, swear that no matter how things are in Huainan, I’ll come back, deal?”

Bai Su, “I can give you something in exchange.”

Just one sentence… the person who had been stubborn and resistant just now immediately changed the subject.

He chuckled and asked, “What do you have in exchange?”

Then, the woman sitting at the head of the table raised the corner of her lips slightly and said slowly, “For example … so-called angina pectoris, when a person’s pulse disappears, what kind of method can be used to save the person? Another example is when we’re breathing, what exactly are we inhaling? Why do we have to exhale after inhaling? Can we directly inject the necessary air into a person who can hardly breathe on his own to save his life? Another example, can Hua Tuo’s method of cutting open someone’s bones to treat poison be successful? How deep should the incision be made to ensure success…”

Each of them sounded unimaginable, yet it also made one feel crazy.

Old man Huang’s eyes became brighter as he listened. Finally, he slammed the table, “Deal! Don’t worry, not to mention staying in this palace for two months, even if you don’t let me leave in this lifetime, I’m fine with it! I can even live in your hall all the time. How about let’s start today? You two can sleep on the bed, and I’ll sleep on the floor!”

“…”

No one responded.

The old man blinked, “What? did I say something wrong?”

Fang Moyan, who had been standing in the corner with Chang Le like an invisible person, finally couldn’t stand his master and directly went forward to drag him away.

“Your Majesty, if there’s nothing else, master and this official will take our leave first … Your Majesty, long live. Your Highness, long live.”

Then, the two of them pulled each other and went out.

Through the window, he could still hear Imperial Physician Huang shouting, “Why did you drag me out? Impudent!”

“They’re a loving couple, you … what are you doing under the bed?”

“What loving? What kind of love can they do in such a situation? Aren’t they afraid of miscarriage?”

“It’s been three months; they can do it already Master! Her Highness even specially asked this disciple yesterday!”

“Oh, it’s been three months. Wait … how do you know it’s been three months? Your pulse reading skills have improved a lot, huh?”

The straightforwardness of the conversation and the explicit words made the face of the young emperor sitting inside become darker.

He turned his head and ordered, “Chang Le, go remind them. If they continue to behave presumptuously again, I’ll have their tongues cut off.”

The little eunuch quickly trotted out, “… Yes! This servant will go right away!”

Duan Changchuan followed behind him and closed the door with a ‘bang’.

The world finally quieted down.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the woman sitting, looking at him with a smile. Her long and narrow eyebrows were filled with hints of a smile.

He immediately raised his chin angrily, “And you! Why do you have to ask about everything? If you go out and talk nonsense again, I’ll have your tongue cut off too!”

Alpha raised his eyebrows and looked at him calmly, “Well, I could have not asked about it. Omega can do it after three months of pregnancy. But who asked you to be so angry a few days ago and hurt your body? So I have to confirm it before I feel at ease.”

Duan Changchuan, “You!”

He wanted to say: What can Omega do after three months? What can you do? What’s there to do?!

But he was thin-skinned. There were only three sentences in total, but he couldn’t say a word.

He said “you” to Bai Su for a long time, then reluctantly spat out, “Rascal!”

And he was immediately pulled into her arms.

Alpha wrapped both arms around his waist and whispered in his ear with a pampering voice, “What did I say and make you call me a rascal? Your glands are about to mature, and you may experience your estrus period. I need to understand in advance how to deal with it together, how much your body can endure, and to what extent. I need to know in advance of these, otherwise, what will happen if something goes wrong, hm? Duan Xiaochuan?”

Duan Changchuan, who was caught off guard by her explicit words:!

She was a refined female rascal! No matter how dignified her words were, how justified the reason was, she was still thinking about that!

Moreover, what did she mean by how much he could bear, and to what extent …

The eyelashes of the young man who was trapped in Alpha’s arms suddenly trembled.

Why did these words sound so … dangerous?

Was it only my illusion?
