The moment Shen Miao saw the imperial physician, her heart skipped a beat. She carefully sized up the imperial physician. The young imperial physician was carrying a medical box. After bowing to the empress, he walked to Ren Wanyun’s side. Ren Wanyun still wanted to stop him, but she heard the imperial physician say, “Madam, please let go of Miss Shen so that I can take her pulse.” His voice was very pleasant to the ear and made people feel very comfortable.

Under everyone’s gaze, and with the sharp gaze of the empress, no matter what, Ren Wanyun did not dare to resist. Shen Qing had already fainted from the pain. She took a step back and watched helplessly as the imperial physician placed two fingers on Shen Qing’s wrist.

Just as Shen Miao was in a daze looking at the imperial physician, Feng Anning’s teasing voice suddenly came from beside her. She said, “Don’t tell me you like that imperial physician too? If you like him, you don’t have bad taste.”

Shen Miao was slightly stunned and asked, “You know him?”

“Eh?” Feng Anning said in surprise, “This is the first time you’re interested in something like this. Forget it, I’ll tell you. This imperial physician is a new doctor in the imperial hospital. His medical skills are amazing. He even cured Consort De’s heart disease. His Majesty thinks very highly of him and made an exception to let him enter the imperial hospital. Now, he’s the youngest one in the imperial hospital. He’s also very good-looking, so many girls like him very much.”

Shen Miao said, “You like him too?”

“How can I like him?” Feng Anning raised her head. “Although his medical skills are brilliant and he’s good-looking, he’s at most an imperial physician. He doesn’t have the support of a family, so how can he be with me?” Feng Anning had been pampered by her family since she was young and believed that her husband should also be an heroic figure. She really didn’t care about a mere imperial physician.

“What’s his name?” Shen Miao asked.

“Don’t tell me you really like him?” Feng Anning looked at Shen Miao suspiciously and said, “His name is Gao Yang, but there’s no Gao family in the capital.” In other words, Gao Yang was definitely not from a rich family.

Shen Miao looked at the young imperial physician and even ignored Shen Qing and Ren Wanyun. Her heart skipped a beat because she realized that Gao Yang actually gave her a familiar feeling, as if she had seen him somewhere before. However, in her previous life, she had never seen someone like Gao Yang in the Imperial Hospital.

If not at the Imperial Hospital, where had she seen him before?

While she was thinking, Gao Yang had already finished taking the pulse. When he turned around, he was stunned by Shen Miao’s gaze. However, he quickly regained his senses and cupped his hands at Ren Wanyun.

“Imperial Physician Gao.” The empress asked, “Is Miss Shen poisoned?”

Gao Yang glanced at the unconscious Shen Qing and then at the pale Ren Wanyun. He cupped his hands and said, “Your Highness, Miss Shen was not poisoned. She just drank lotus tea.” After a pause, he said, “The lotus tea that Miss Shen drank was not poisoned.”

“Oh?” Emperor Wen Hui looked at Shen Qing. “Since she wasn’t poisoned, how did this happen?”

“Your Majesty.” Gao Yang sighed and said, “Lotus tea is cold in nature. It’s fine for ordinary people to drink it, but people who are pregnant will have an upset stomach… Miss Shen is already pregnant.”

Miss Shen was already pregnant.

As soon as he said that, the surroundings were in an uproar. Shen Gui opened his mouth, and his face instantly turned livid. He suddenly looked at Ren Wanyun, who fell to the ground in a daze.

“How horrendous!” The person who spoke was the madam of the Wei family. She stood up immediately and pointed at Ren Wanyun without caring that she was at a royal banquet. “Your daughter is engaged to my son, but she is already pregnant. You actually want my son to marry a pregnant woman and raise someone else’s child. Ren Wanyun, don’t you have any shame!”
