"Be good," Lu Ying gently ruffled her hair. "Doctor Xiao Chen is renowned in the palace for his expertise in gynecology. Even the bodies of several concubines are under his care. If there's anything wrong with your health, he will definitely be able to help you recover."
"Brother Lu Ying, I don't want to…" Shen Yinning pouted and burrowed shyly into Lu Ying's embrace. "Men and women should avoid physical contact. I won't let him feel my pulse!"
Doctor Xiao Chen looked awkward.
He was already married with children. It's just taking a pulse—how does it boil down to "men and women should avoid physical contact"?
He retrieved a silk thread from his medical box. "Lady Shen, rest assured. I'll tie one end of the thread to your wrist and hold the other end with my fingers. Through the light vibrations in the thread, I can diagnose your condition without overstepping any boundaries."
Shen Yinning gritted her teeth.
