Han Yunxi was infuriated.
She understood that the Dao didn't pass on the scriptures, while doctors didn't knock on the door.
It was clearly Emperor Tianhui who summoned her to treat him, so why did it sound like she'd come to cheat him?
Since when had she been angling for fame? Since when had she gained fame by deceiving the world? Weren't the rumors spread by people with ulterior motives?!
The two eunuchs on the side who were about to step forward were frightened by the sight and didn't dare to move.
Seeing this, the empress dowager and empress exchanged looks of disbelief. Wasn't this girl too bold? She dared to be so impudent in front of the emperor?
Still, Long Fei Ye's lips drew up into a beautiful curve.
In the silence, Han Yunxi spoke up coldly, word for word. "Your Majesty, I don't care who diagnosed the pregnancy pulse. I'll say it again, the crown prince's pulse is slippery, not pregnant. If you called me here just to verify someone else's diagnosis, then you've found the wrong person! "
Emperor Tianhui was left speechless by her words. A pregnancy pulse was something that had been determined long ago. He'd invited Han Yunxi here so she could treat this illness.
That was because Han Congan had prescribed abortion pills after the crown prince's stomach grew bigger. Unfortunately, none of them had any effect. Han Congan didn't know where to start, so he could only take the crown prince's pulse every day and have him drink medicine to nourish his body. Emperor Tianhui couldn't help but worry that the crown prince would really give birth to a child one day!
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi's diagnosis wasn't a pregnancy pulse.
Seeing that Emperor Tianhui was still angry, Han Yunxi continued, "Your Majesty, it's impossible for a man to get pregnant. Yunxi dares to guarantee with my life that His Highness Crown Prince doesn't have a pregnancy pulse. The focus of the illness can only be in His Highness's stomach, which should be a giant sarcoma. That's why it looks like a fetus and has such a slippery pulse. If we don't treat it now, it'll endanger the crown prince's life if the sarcoma continues to grow! "
Everyone present was stunned by her words!
This woman could still say so much with such self-assurance?
Han Congan had treated her for seven years and was completely sure that it was a pregnancy pulse and that there was a fetus in her belly. Han Yunxi, oh Han Yunxi, how could she say that it was just a lesion in her belly?
Long Tianmo turned around abruptly. He had to admit that even though he didn't have any hope for Han Yunxi, his eyes couldn't help but light up with hope when he heard the diagnosis.
If it wasn't a pregnancy pulse, but a strange disease, a sarcoma like Han Yunxi said, then his whole life could be turned around!
One had to know that if it was confirmed to be a pregnancy pulse, even if it was cured, it would be a big stain in his life. Once it was exposed, he would be ridiculed by the world.
If it was a malignant tumor, then it would be perfectly normal. He would not spend so much effort to guard against the spying and investigation of the other princes.
Looking at the stubborn Han Yunxi, Long Tianmo suddenly had an impulse to believe her.
Meanwhile, the empress had a complicated expression on her face. Of course she wanted her son to be fine. He was her everything. But she still couldn't completely trust Han Yunxi, much less hope that Han Yunxi would succeed in this matter.
"Yunxi, but … your father has been taking the crown prince's pulse every day for seven years. It can't be that he's always been wrong, right?" the empress asked worriedly.
These words not only reminded Han Yunxi, but Emperor Tianhui and the crown prince as well, thoroughly shattering their hopes.
A trifling pulse was easy enough for an ordinary doctor, much less Han Congan.
A complicated look flitted past Han Yunxi's eyes, but her attitude was still firm. "It's his fault!"
This …
"Yunxi, why don't you stay here for a few days and observe a bit more?" the empress probed.
"I'm 100 percent certain that he's mistaken."
Han Yunxi's voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with unquestionable authority. Seeing her serious and resolute expression, even the empress wavered.
At this moment, Long Tianmo spoke up. "Imperial father, summon Han Congan to confront her."
Emperor Tianhui hesitated before agreeing. "Someone come, summon Han Congan here!"
While they waited, the room was silent. Everyone looked at Han Yunxi with doubtful and expectant gazes. As a doctor, Han Yunxi was used to such looks.
As if no one else was present, she sat quietly on one side, her mind doing its best to search for similar cases she'd heard of before.
The Crown Prince's illness was indeed very strange, but it did not mean that there was no precedent. In her memory, she had heard of similar cases when she was in school. There were no more than a hundred similar cases recorded in the modern medical history of the world. It could be said that it was very rare.
She had her suspicions when she took his pulse, but after seeing the crown prince's big belly, she was more or less certain.
Sarcoma and whatnot were just excuses. As for what illness it was, she knew she couldn't say it out loud. Once she did, she'd definitely lose her life.
Her current problem was how to deny Han Congan's diagnosis.
Soon enough, Han Congan arrived.
He was in his fifties and sported a white goatee. He was dressed in long, gray robes. Although he tried to keep a low profile in the palace, it was difficult to hide the dignity and bearing of a clan head.
This was Han Yunxi's first time seeing her "father" since transmigrating to this world.
After Han Congan entered, he greeted each and every one of them. Even when facing Han Yunxi, he still bowed respectfully and called her Qin Wangfei.
Han Yunxi's tone was cold as she said, "Dispense with the formalities."
Towards this father of hers, she not only felt unfamiliar, but also hatred.
Han Yunxi hated men who were jealous of women the most in her life, but Han Congan was such a person.
Why had Lady Tianxin died in childbirth back then? Why had she been born an ugly girl with the most common poison scars growing up? Why hadn't a doctor from a distinguished medical family treated her? Han Yunxi would find answers to these questions sooner or later.
The empress couldn't wait to speak up. "Han Congan, Qin Wangfei has determined that the crown prince's stomach is a malignant tumor. What do you think?"
Han Congan originally thought that Han Yunxi would be helpless against such a strange illness, which was why Emperor Tianhui had summoned him. But who knew this was the case?
He looked at Han Yunxi in disbelief. This damned girl was too daring. Even if she studied the medical books left behind by her mother, they were only about detoxification techniques. She actually dared to make such a diagnosis?
Han Congan shook his head. "Qin Wangfei, do you have proof for the malignant tumor?"
"Then do you have proof for the fetus?" Han Yunxi retorted.
Han Congan's lips curved into a mocking smile. "The pulse is proof. So is His Highness Crown Prince's stomach. Qin Wangfei, even Cloud Realm Medical Academy's directors have confirmed that this is a pregnancy pulse."
"It's the pulse that's in dispute. It's not enough proof," Han Yunxi's attitude was unyielding.
If not for her status and everyone else present, Han Congan would've lost his temper long ago. No wonder the empress dowager and Grand Concubine Yi's men had been looking for him to investigate. This damned girl had really changed into a different person.
If this was the past, she wouldn't have dared to speak to him like this even after she became Qin Wangfei!
"Then how did you tell it was a malignant tumor?" Han Congan asked. No matter how skilled this damned girl was, her diagnosis couldn't be separated from the pulse.
Since she said the pulse wasn't enough proof, he'd like to see what proof she had.
"Poison!" Han Yunxi said confidently.
That word alone made everyone suck in a cold breath. It was actually poison?
"His Highness Crown Prince has been poisoned with a type of poison called tumor poison. It's not fatal, but it stays in the body for a long time and absorbs the foul qi from the organs to form a malignant tumor. Once the tumor grows big enough to press on the major meridians, it'll be life-threatening.
。”
This was actually a lie made up by Han Yunxi, but she said it calmly as if it were true.
Everyone present was stupefied. They never thought such a strange poison existed in the world, nor that the crown prince's strange illness was like this!
This had nothing to do with a pregnancy pulse or pregnancy!
Compared to a man getting pregnant, Han Yunxi's explanation was much more reasonable and believable. Even the empress who wanted to make things difficult for Han Yunxi revealed a look of pleasant surprise. How she wanted to believe in Han Yunxi right now!
Han Congan gave a start as well. It took him a while to speak. "Then … then do you have proof?"
Han Yunxi wouldn't foolishly say she could tell from the pulse. Her eyes flashed with self-confidence as she said, "I can neutralize the poison and remove the malignant tumor. It's already been seven years. Can you deliver a child? "
"You …"
Han Congan finally couldn't take it anymore. He took two steps back with a look of disbelief. Those who didn't know would think they were competitors when they looked at the father and daughter pair.
"Esteemed Princess Consort, you can't joke around with the crown prince's life!" Han Congan said seriously. Although he wasn't familiar with poisons, he didn't want to believe that the crown prince was poisoned.
The pulse was clearly a pregnancy pulse and there was clearly a life in the stomach. Even if he was wrong, how could the most authoritative medical school be wrong?
Although the directors of the medical school had all left, he had secretly consulted with the directors to discuss this issue over the years.
The pregnancy pulse was certain. They needed to discuss how to make the crown prince's stomach disappear and how to kill the fetus that shouldn't exist without endangering the crown prince's life.
Abortion pills had no effect at all and could only be delivered.
However, giving birth to a child was dangerous for a woman, let alone a man.
To be exact, they still didn't understand how a man could give birth to a child. Cutting the abdomen was something they dared to think about but didn't dare to do.
Moreover, if the child was really cut out, his life would be over. The emperor had long believed in the pregnancy pulse, but he still held the hope that it was a misdiagnosis.
"This Princess Consort isn't joking around with the crown prince's life. On the contrary, you can't even see the poisoned pulse and dragged it out for seven years. Do you know that if the poison was cured earlier, the crown prince's stomach wouldn't be so big! It's you who wasted seven years of the crown prince's life! "Han Yunxi angrily retorted.
She admitted that she was taking this opportunity to take revenge.
Don't think that she didn't know that Han Congan had a hand in the young general's matter. Not to mention that she was bullied in her maternal family, just the fact that he sacrificed his daughter to curry favor with the empress dowager was enough to make Han Yunxi hate him for a lifetime. Was this kind of person worthy of being her father?
"You, you're talking nonsense! Nonsense. "Han Congan was anxious. He didn't care about his status and angrily rebuked.
Who knew that Han Yunxi would angrily reprimand, "Bold Han Congan, is this the attitude you should have when speaking to this Princess Consort? What's the punishment for offending one's superiors? "
Her words surprised everyone present. Nobody expected Han Yunxi, the unfavored Qin Wangfei, to put on the airs of a wangfei in front of Han Congan.
This woman, isn't she a little too interesting?
The curve of Long Fei Ye's lips grew more and more beautiful, while Emperor Tianhui began to stroke his chin in amusement.
Han Congan was dumbstruck as he shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't speak for a long time.
Han Yunxi loftily looked at him disdainfully. "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, we'll know once the malignant tumor is taken out."
So speaking, she turned towards Emperor Tianhui. "Your Majesty, I've already told you the results of my diagnosis. Whether or not he'll be treated is up to Your Majesty to decide."
