The Imperial Doctor furrowed his brows, a flash of confusion crossing his eyes.
"Reporting to Eunuch Li, Lady Shen does not display any apparent smallpox symptoms, but her pulse is somewhat peculiar."
"In what way peculiar?"
"It differs slightly from a normal pulse."
On hearing the Imperial Doctor's words, Chun Xi couldn't help but worry, "Imperial Doctor, what's wrong with my young mistress?"
The Imperial Doctor, unable to provide a clear explanation, simply said, "Lady Shen's pulse is largely normal, and shows no signs of smallpox."
"My young mistress has always been well; how could she possibly contract smallpox?" Chun Xi winked at Shen Chuwei, relieved that they had gotten past this hurdle.
The Imperial Doctor approached Eunuch Li and repeated the results of his examination.
"Eunuch Li, we can confirm that Lady Shen is not seriously ill."
Eunuch Li nodded, "If that's the case, go back and report."
After speaking, he swished his whisk and left.
