Xiao Changyi already had a hunch, but still asked persistently, "Is it multiple pregnancies?"
The four Imperial Physicians exchanged glances, and then one of them, representing the group, respectfully said, "We have only ever checked the pulse for twins before, but never anything like this with the Queen. We dare not speculate." He paused for a moment, "Doctor Jiang once checked the Queen's pulse; back then, she was carrying quadruplets, maybe he can find out."
Xiao Changyi did not immediately send for Doctor Jiang from the palace. Instead, he turned to look at Gong Juechen, "Are you really sure it's multiple births?"
Gong Juechen had already sat back down next to Ye Zhi, smiling broadly, chatting quietly with her while eating. Hearing Xiao Changyi's question, he replied, "It's definitely multiple births; absolutely certain."
Xiao Changyi promptly asked again, "How many?"
