Forensic Imperial Concubine

The second group of ten imperial physicians was already on their chairs and writing in a hurry. Matthew reviewed the dos and don'ts written by the first group of imperial physicians. It was his first step into parenthood, and he was not sure about the things to be done. Thus, he was left with no other option but to seek advice from the experts.

It took almost two hours for all the physicians to finish their assignment. Looking at all the physicians in the room, Matthew drew out a few pieces of paper and asked, "Who is Ian Wang?"

Hearing his explanation, Matthew squinted slightly and shifted his eyes to the other imperial physicians. All the other imperial physicians were so scared that they felt their legs were getting weak and they knelt down. "Your Highness, we don't share the opinion that pregnant women shouldn't eat haws. The ladies in the Imperial Palace usually eat haws, but none of them has ever miscarried because of that. Ian Wang might have remembered it wrong."
