Huang Zude took a deep breath, forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, and concentrated with all his might as he sat before the Emperor. Bowing his head, he admitted his guilt, then piously raised his hand to take the Emperor's pulse.
He was a physician of integrity; no matter the situation, as soon as he began to take someone's pulse, he would quickly become calm.
The Emperor nodded slightly, glancing at him once before his gaze shifted back to Lian Hua.
Feeling his gaze, Lian Hua couldn't help but curve her eyes and look back at him.
They exchanged smiles without a word, all was said in silence.
The room fell quiet at once, with Chu Yuanzheng seated in front of Lian Hua and Huang Zude in front of the Emperor, while the others waited quietly by the side.
The Emperor's examination finished quickly for one hand, and Huang Zude asked to check the other.
