Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 852

Chapter 852: Chapter 852 Leisurely Stroll_1

“What is the key point?”

The young girl leaned forward, pricking up her ears, her eyes sparkling and her face filled with curiosity.

Imperial Physician Dong hurriedly bowed, “Please spare me, Princess Consort, I dare not speculate.”

“If you won’t say it, I can guess it.”

Jiang Ning chuckled, “The key is that the old man should favor his concubines less, isn’t it?”

Imperial Physician Dong coughed lightly and remained silent.

Jiang Ning then asked, “According to your diagnosis, should our old man be moderating his desires?”

Imperial Physician Dong: “…”

Jiang Ning glanced at him sideways, “Aren’t you the lead judge of the Imperial Medical Academy and a famous doctor? Are you still afraid to discuss a patient’s condition?”

“I dare not,” Imperial Physician Dong gave a bitter smile, “I can only say that in the long run, it will definitely have a great impact on His Majesty’s health. I have advised His Majesty to rest and recover, but…”

He didn’t finish what he was saying.

Jiang Ning understood, “The two pretty ladies selected in the recent draft have piqued the Emperor’s interest. It is quite normal. Don’t worry too much about it, Imperial Physician Dong.”

“Yes.”

“Well, Imperial Physician Dong, I will leave you to your work.”

“Wait, Princess Consort.” Imperial Physician Dong stopped Jiang Ning again.

Jiang Ning paused, “What is it, Imperial Physician Dong?”

Imperial Physician Dong hesitated for a moment, then said: “About Jin Liangyuan’s illness…”

“Oh, I know all about it.”

“Do you really, Princess Consort?”

“Of course I do.” Jiang Ning answered confidently. “Jin Liangyuan took the medicine in front of me, how would I not know?”

“Ah, this…”

Imperial Physician Dong was taken aback, at a loss for words.

“Don’t hesitate, she volunteered for this, it’s not like I forced her.” Jiang Ning chuckled, “Imperial Physician Dong, you’ve been serving in the palace for many years, you’ve seen and dealt with countless patients thus you must know more than me.”

Imperial Physician Dong quickly replied, “I understand.”

“Jin Liangyuan’s situation is not easy, neither is Concubine Ya’s.” Jiang Ning continued with a significant look, “Imperial Physician Dong, please take extra care of Jin Liangyuan.”

“I will do my utmost, this is my duty.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Ning smiled, “Although we have different statuses and responsibilities, as long as we do our best and remain true to ourselves, we have nothing to be ashamed of. I have more chores to attend to, I must take my leave.”

Imperial Physician Dong watched her figure recede, mulling over her words.

Yes, he is a doctor, whether among common folks or in the Imperial Palace, his duty is to treat and save people.

Doing what he can and not worrying about matters beyond his control.

What’s the use of worrying about the uncontrollable?

Although he is in the Imperial Palace and he can’t directly treat common people, he has more resources to study diseases and their treatments.

He hands over the prescription to the doctors outside, allowing them to treat more people.

That’s the realisation of his ideal.

After having this epiphany, Imperial Physician Dong set aside his earlier dejection, regained his spirits, and hurried back to the Imperial Medical Academy, ready to continue adjusting the typhoid prescription he had been researching for the past two years.

Jiang Ning continued sauntering around the palace.

As the Princess Consort, she should theoretically be managing the East Palace and looking after the three children, but she seemed to have plenty of free time.
