Chapter 528: Chapter 528: You may be pregnant with more than two..._1

"Yes." Doctor Jiang respectfully complied before starting to take An Jing’s pulse. With just one check, he immediately stared at An Jing with unbelievable, wide eyes.

An Jing’s heart immediately skipped a beat from Doctor Jiang’s expression, fearing something might be wrong with the child in her womb.

Xiao Changyi’s heart also clenched with worry. Seeing Doctor Jiang like this, he urgently asked, "Is there really something amiss?"

Doctor Jiang composed himself before replying, "Prince, allow me to take a closer look."

An Jing and Xiao Changyi exchanged a glance, their hearts still pounding. However, An Jing was worried about the child in her belly, while Xiao Changyi was not only concerned about the child but also about An Jing.

Compared to the child, Xiao Changyi was more worried about An Jing.

Doctor Jiang took An Jing’s pulse again, this time more carefully. One hand was not enough, so he took the pulse of An Jing’s other hand.

During the pulse-taking, he also looked at An Jing’s belly, which was quite a bit larger than the belly of someone carrying twins, but even so, Doctor Jiang was still not very sure.

"Prince, Princess," Doctor Jiang hesitated because he had never encountered such a situation before, which made him start to doubt his own medical skills.

Xiao Changyi immediately said anxiously, "Speak up, what’s wrong?"

Doctor Jiang then plucked up his courage and said, "The Princess’s condition itself is fine, it’s just... her pulse seems a bit excessive..."

Xiao Changyi and An Jing, hearing there was nothing amiss, both let out a huge sigh of relief. But what did he mean by the pulse being a bit excessive?

Xiao Changyi and An Jing looked at each other, confusion in their eyes, and then, in unison, they turned their gazes back to Doctor Jiang.

With no other choice, Doctor Jiang continued, "The Princess... might be carrying more than two..."

An Jing: "..."

Xiao Changyi: "..."

Seeing that neither An Jing nor Xiao Changyi spoke, Doctor Jiang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kept apologizing, "My medical skills are inadequate, I have never diagnosed such a joyful pulse before. I dare not assert with certainty that the Princess is definitely carrying several, I ask for forgiveness from the Prince and Princess."

Doctor Jiang had studied medicine under his mentor Fang Shicai for many years; he had diagnosed joyous pulses on numerous occasions, but almost all were for single births, and he even remembered that he had only diagnosed twins twice before.

He had truly never heard of, nor seen, a pulse like what An Jing carried now.

Several...

Xiao Changyi: "..."

An Jing: "..."

Doctor Jiang continued to apologize, "I have neither heard of nor seen anyone carry more than two children at once. Even twins are very rare. The possibility of the Princess carrying several is there, but it should be very small. In my opinion, it is very likely that the Princess has a different constitution from other women, which is why she might show this kind of pulse in the latter stages of pregnancy."

An Jing also felt that the possibility of carrying several was very, very small and did not take it too seriously.

But Xiao Changyi, looking at An Jing’s swollen belly, cared deeply about this matter. If it really was several, he...

After being addressed by An Jing, the Princess, Doctor Jiang then asked, "Prince, Princess, I will be staying in Sixteen Town with Deputy General Meng. For caution’s sake, I propose to visit twice daily, once at the hour of Si and once at the hour of Shen, to check on the Princess’s pulse. May I know your wishes regarding this, Prince and Princess?"

An Jing looked at Xiao Changyi and, seeing him nod toward her, she then smiled and said, "Then come during both the Si and Shen hours to see to me. My belly has grown quite large, so it’s better to pay more attention."

"Yes." Doctor Jiang immediately responded respectfully.
