my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 282 The mother and daughter are safe
Zhang Anshi and Doctor Xu murmured for a long time.

The two sides are still in good agreement.

After all, they are old friends.

Although under normal circumstances, Zhang Anshi is in charge of treating illnesses, and Imperial Physician Xu is in charge of beatings.

But obviously, if there was an accident this time, Doctor Xu would be severely beaten.

In fact, this is also understandable.

It doesn't matter if Zhu Di has a problem, but if Empress Xu has a problem, it will be more troublesome, especially Zhu Di's fiery personality.

Imperial Physician Xu kept asking: "Mr. Wei, how sure are you when you tell the truth?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Five to sixty percent, hasn't it already been said?"

Imperial Physician Xu sighed: "Doctors are really not done by humans, especially doctors without backers."

He had a resentful expression on his face, like an infatuated and resentful woman.

Zhang Anshi comforted: "Okay, don't complain, go to work, the old rules, you stay guard in the palace, I will make some preparations."

Zhang Anshi gave a few more instructions.

And then... Zhang Anshi wrote down a prescription, upon seeing this prescription, Imperial Physician Xu's expression changed suddenly.

But he didn't say anything, just follow the prescription to grab the medicine.

soon……

Then an imperial doctor came to Zhu Di.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Di was in a bad mood and anxious, looking at the imperial doctor, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Officer Xu took the medicine from the minister."

"Huh?" Zhu Di was obviously curious. He was only taking medicine, so why did he find him, the emperor's head.

"Really? What kind of medicine did you grab?" Zhu Di subconsciously said.

The imperial doctor said: "One of the flavors contains saffron, and the dose is very heavy."

The imperial doctor looked worried: "This saffron is very harmful to pregnant women. It can even be said to be...poison."

Although Zhu Di doesn't understand medicine, he knows these common senses.

He stared at the imperial doctor with a puzzled expression: "Is it the medicine for the queen?"

"Yes, it's for the empress."

"Understood." Zhu Di nodded.

The imperial doctor was in a hurry: "Your Majesty... Could it be..."

"Go down, I know." Zhu Di remained calm.

The imperial doctor was a little unwilling.

Obviously... In this hospital, many people are not convinced by Dr. Xu.

According to the system established by Zhu Yuanzhang, in general, one radish and one pit, the son of an imperial physician is an imperial physician, and the same reason, the son of a medical officer...is also a medical officer.

However, this imperial doctor Xu, because of several times of enema, suddenly became the top medical officer in the world. In later generations, he was probably the minister of the Ministry of Health, and he also served as the director of the Medical Administration Bureau.

Although in Daming, hundreds of officials did not value this position.

But for doctors, it's different.

The most important thing is that Dr. Xu became the hospital envoy, so what about the original envoy's son?
Zhu Di said: "I said, I know."

After hearing this, the imperial doctor seemed a little unwilling, but hurried to go.

After taking the medicine, Empress Xu felt more unwell.

After seeing the doctor, the imperial doctors felt more and more that something was wrong.

But at this time, Zhang Anshi had already dragged Imperial Physician Xu to look for the pregnant woman.

There is no way to do this. Everyone has no experience in delivering babies. At this time... you need to try again and again.

In this case, if you can't count on being a stable woman, you can only let Imperial Physician Xu come, and this Imperial Physician Xu is also down-to-earth because his life is at stake.

The problem is that it is difficult to find a pregnant woman, and no one is interested in letting Zhang Anshi and Doctor Xu deliver the baby.

Zhang Anshi first spent money and asked people to find a way.

He also asked various medical clinics to look for pregnant women with problems.

But the effect is not good.

Zhang Anshi could only explain to others time and time again that the imperial doctor Xu is actually not much different from the eunuch, if you don't believe me, you can give it a try.

Doctor Xu was humiliated because...it seemed that everyone in the capital knew...he seemed to be a bit of a badass.

At this time, Imperial Physician Xu had no choice but to endure the humiliation.

Every time, Zhang Anshi talked vividly to the hostess and hostess about Dr. Xu's hidden pain, the other party showed suspicious eyes, Zhang Anshi said: "If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

After finishing speaking, please ask the male host to step aside, and said in a low voice, then leaned forward again, secretly took out some gold and silver, and stuffed them into the opponent's hand: "If you find that there is nothing wrong with him, the silver will be yours."

The male master took the money and said: "Young Master said it himself, it's not that the villain can't trust you, it's really..."

Zhang Anshi said: "You don't have to be so polite, just try."

So the male host brought Dr. Xu into the side room, accompanied by a hired courtesan.

Half an hour later, the male host came out satisfied: "Young Master is indeed right."

"I said it earlier." Zhang Anshi said: "This childbirth... is a hell, this is an imperial doctor, it would be best if he delivered the baby... If something goes wrong, I will pay another sum of money."

After finally having several experiences, Imperial Physician Xu has become numb.

Zhang Anshi comforted him and said, "What do you think?"

Doctor Xu said dejectedly: "In the past, it was just my body that was not good, but I still had some thoughts in my heart, but now it's different, now... not only my body is not good, but some children have been delivered, and I don't even think about it. I feel disgusted when I think of women. I want to throw up."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

"Why didn't the father-in-law speak?"

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "What I want to ask is... what do you think of your skills?"

"It's not bad. It was rusty at first, but now it's proficient."

Zhang Anshi nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "How is that thing used?"

"got used to."

Zhang Anshi nodded again: "I hope nothing will happen this time."

Imperial Physician Xu looked at Zhang Anshi fixedly for a while, and said with a sincere expression: "If something really happens, my father-in-law remembers to take care of my family."

"I will." Zhang Anshi said without thinking.

Imperial Physician Xu sighed, and said quietly: "I committed crimes in my previous life, and I will be a doctor in this life."

Zhang Anshi comforted him: "Think about the benefits, you won't suffer from this crime in this life, maybe you will be a doctor in your next life."

Doctor Xu said: "It also makes sense."

"I'll ask someone to find a few more..." Zhang Anshi said: "Practice as much as you can, don't miss it at a critical moment."

Doctor Xu had no choice but to agree.

But fortunately, Imperial Physician Xu's reputation is also good. At least in the end, some people will take the initiative to come to the door, because Imperial Physician Xu has a high success rate of delivering deliveries, and now they are convinced that Imperial Physician Xu is actually a eunuch, so there is no psychological burden , but some people flocked to it.

Most of Zhang Anshi's selections were weak pregnant women, in order to increase the difficulty.

But within two days, people from the palace had already arrived.

A eunuch came in a hurry, found Zhang Anshi, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Anshi and Xu Taiyi to enter the palace.

The two of them dared not neglect, and rushed into the palace, but at this time, Prince Zhu Gaochi and many wives had already arrived.

Zhang Anshi was a little nervous.

Because his medicine has a certain risk, and it can even be said that the risk is very high.

He didn't know if it was bad news to meet him next, maybe something happened before the production started.

Zhang Anshi hurried to the bedroom, where Zhu Di was already waiting.

At this moment, Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and took a deep breath. Obviously, Zhu Di was much more nervous than Zhang Anshi.

"His Majesty……"

Zhu Di said, "Something happened."

Zhang Anshi was startled, and immediately took a step back quietly, allowing Imperial Physician Xu to stand in front of him slightly.

Zhu Di said, "The amniotic fluid is broken."

Only then did Zhang Anshi heave a long sigh of relief, he took a step forward, and said, "I'll do it now, but... Your Majesty... it's best not to give birth in the palace."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

Zhang Anshi said truthfully: "The hygienic conditions here are not good. The minister is outside the palace. Together with Dr. Xu, he built a delivery room specially for giving birth."

After hearing this, Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Why didn't you say it sooner? Send it now, will it be too late?"

"Not too late." Zhang Anshi said: "At least we can increase our confidence."

Zhu Di nodded, and immediately ordered someone to make arrangements.

Not long after, the chariot arrived. Someone helped Empress Xu into the chariot. The eunuchs walked like flying, and the imperial doctor Xu led them out of the palace.

Zhang Anshi wiped his sweat anxiously, but at this moment, he had to calm himself down.

As Zhu Di walked away, he asked, "I heard that you used a lot of saffron in your medicine?"

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Saffron will cause contractions for pregnant women. Your Majesty knows what contractions are, right?"

Zhu Di shook his head.

Zhang Anshidao: "This palace is like a house. Contractions mean that the house where the child lives becomes smaller... so... the child will be squeezed out. Generally, this kind of medicine... is actually given to pregnant women. It will easily lead to the child...premature birth and death..."

Only then did Zhu Di come to his senses, but he trusted Zhang Anshi and believed that Zhang Anshi would not do anything to hurt Empress Xu, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, what's the point of using this medicine?"

Zhang Anshi said: "The fetal heart rate is not stable, which means...he is in serious trouble, because of this... so he must be born as soon as possible! I have calculated that he is now seven and a half months old Another four days, although it is very dangerous to be born at this time, it is better than staying in the belly...and eventually becoming death..."

When Zhang Anshi said this, his words stopped abruptly. Speaking of this now... seems a bit unlucky.

Zhu Di immediately understood Zhang Anshi's meaning: "It's so small...won't something happen?"

Zhang Anshi said: "As long as you take care of it carefully, you may not be unable to survive... So there is still a certain danger, and this medicine may also affect the empress's body. Just... just do the best you can."

In fact, Zhang Anshi was hesitant at first, but as he was about to become a father, he could still understand Queen Xu's desire, so he finally chose to fight.

At this time, Zhu Di nodded and said, "Hey...it's really hard for you to bear such a relationship."

In fact, at this time, Zhang Anshi's bet was half right, because... at least Empress Xu gave birth prematurely.

The child is in the womb, and I don't know what's wrong. If it keeps going like this, it won't be long before it will die.

That being the case, it would be better to simply give birth prematurely.

As for the premature birth, whether the child can survive, this involves... fate and care.

At this time, Zhang Anshi was in no mood to continue explaining.

Soon after, they arrived not far from the Forbidden City.

However, Zhu Di discovered that a mansion here had been emptied, and many school lieutenants had already been stationed here.

And here, it seems that it has been refurbished.

Zhu Di said, "Is this what you have prepared these days?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, this is what I tried my best to create."

"Is it better than the palace?" Zhu Di was a little surprised.

Zhang Anshi couldn't explain it.

He said: "Your Majesty, please come with me."

Entering the house, I entered a wing room, which has been remodeled, and the smell of alcohol came to my face.

Zhu Di is used to this.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, please go take a bath and rinse with alcohol later."

"Why?" Zhu Di was taken aback, very puzzled.

Zhang Anshi said: "Because His Majesty also needs to go with his ministers and Imperial Physician Xu."

Zhu Di was even more puzzled, and said, "Is there any use for such things?"

Zhang Anshi nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty can at least lend a helping hand, if not, the minister and Imperial Physician Xu..."

Zhu Di said: "If you can save the mother and child, it's nothing."

At the moment, bathe, disinfect, and then enter the 'delivery room'.

This delivery room is in a confined space, the most important thing is... the roof here is actually made of glass.

The only advantage of this kind of specially fired glass is lighting, and the reason why he chose to use glass for lighting is because... Zhang Anshi dared not light candles in this confined space where alcohol was wiped heavily.

One candle, I'm afraid everyone will finish playing together.

Therefore, Zhang Anshi prepared two plans. If it is daytime, use the glass roof for lighting.

If it is night, let people light countless lamps outside the glass to make the outside as bright as day.

Compared with lighting, disinfection is a big deal in Zhang Anshi's eyes.

The high maternal mortality rate in ancient times is all because of this.

Of course, although the ancients did not know the concept of bacteria, they also had a way of disinfection, that is, using hot water.

But... this method is too primitive, and it's just a slight disinfection. The rest depends on the destiny.

In addition, Zhu Di felt a little hot in this wing room as soon as he entered. The room temperature here was obviously higher than outside.

Zhu Di soon realized that the earth dragon should have been burned here.

The so-called earth dragon is to dig a hole under the house, and then add charcoal to burn it, using a relatively primitive way to maintain the room temperature.

This kind of earth dragon does not exist in the Forbidden City of Nanjing City, but when Zhu Di was in Beiping, he knew that the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, which is now Beiping, had this in the imperial palace.

Zhang Anshi specially said: "Your Majesty, the minister is hiding behind the screen and is in charge of guiding, while Imperial Physician Xu... Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Xu...he..."

"Doctor Xu is an eunuch?" Zhu Di said.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is wise, you really know everything."

Zhu Di said very honestly: "Everyone in Beijing knows about it."

Zhu Di glanced at Imperial Physician Xu.

Imperial Physician Xu didn't know whether it was happiness or worry, he just shrank his neck and used tweezers to take out the other utensils in the alcohol.

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister has gone behind the screen."

Zhu Di sighed and said, "Hide behind the screen...what if something goes wrong?"

"Actually, I don't know how to do this..." Zhang Anshi said with embarrassment: "I'm not familiar with this, so I can only give some guidance. The actual operation still needs to come from the imperial physician."

Saying that, Zhang Anshi stepped forward, looked at Empress Xu, and saluted, "Your Majesty, don't panic, nothing will happen."

Empress Xu seemed very calm.

This point made Zhang Anshi very admired. An ordinary woman would have already screamed by this time.

But Empress Xu was much calmer than Zhang Anshi at this time.

Although she began to feel the pain, she still pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "Don't panic, if something happens, His Majesty will not blame you, this is my insistence."

After speaking, she looked at Imperial Physician Xu again: "Princess Xu, I know you, you are a safe person, don't be afraid."

Doctor Xu was trembling at first, but at this moment he couldn't help being moved. From the incident until now, no one has comforted him, either saying that he will be cut into pieces, or someone told him to think about it, isn't he still dead?
At this time, he hurriedly said with some gratitude: "I obey Yi's decree."

Only then did Empress Xu look at Zhu Di who had been standing aside and staring at her, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, your temper needs to be changed. If there is something good or bad... tell King Zhao and King Han... call them There is no need to go to the funeral, the journey is far away, and they are in grief, I am afraid that they...the body will not be able to bear it. And..."

Zhu Di sniffed: "Okay, okay..."

Empress Xu seemed to feel more and more abdominal pain.

But at this time, Zhang Anshi had already hid behind the screen tactfully.

He slightly raised his voice and said: "It should be almost done, Doctor Xu, it's all up to you, you remember the process."

Doctor Xu said: "Remember...remember...but please, my lord, please make sure to mention a few things."

After more than an hour, finally... Empress Xu started to have a fit.

Zhang Anshi became nervous, and shouted loudly: "Physician Xu..."

Doctor Xu took a deep breath, and began to skillfully use the utensils, first disinfecting them.

Then, start observing.

At this time, you should not be in a hurry, the more urgent the more inappropriate.

Empress Xu was old and frail, and soon began to feel overwhelmed.

Zhu Di was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Instead of being able to help, he wanted to ask someone for help.

At this moment, he wished he could take out Zhang Anshi who was sitting idle behind the screen like a chicken, and teach him to work hard.

But obviously, Zhu Di still restrained this emotion.

Imperial Physician Xu suddenly said: "The mouth of the cervix has been opened...it has exceeded four fingers."

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't panic, take your time..."

Imperial Physician Xu said in a panic at this moment: "I forgot what to do, Duke Wei, don't scare me, what's the use of talking about it."

"I'm also a little panicked, wait for me to think about it..."

After an unknown amount of time, the cervix was finally opened.

It's just... clearly something seems to be stuck.

At this time, Zhu Di's face had changed, and he said in a panic, "Is it difficult to give birth?"

Imperial Physician Xu panicked and said, "But...maybe..."

Zhu Di: "..."

Doctor Xu said: "It's stuck... it's stuck..."

Zhang Anshi was also in a hurry, with the urge to rush out of the ninja, he hurriedly said: "Asshole, use that forceps, didn't you tell me countless times?"

Only then did Imperial Physician Xu calm down from his panic.

Skillful use of forceps is the most important point. On the one hand, Empress Xu's uterine contractions are particularly severe because of the induced labor. In addition, she is old, and the baby in her womb doesn't know what happened in the womb.

And giving birth is a lengthy process. In this process, not to mention whether Empress Xu can endure it, if the child is born according to the normal method, I am afraid that the child will die in the middle of giving birth.

Zhang Anshi has asked many stable women. This kind of situation is extremely common in this era. In this era when the premature death rate is almost as high as [-]%, stable women have seen many of them.

The function of forceps is to greatly speed up the production process.

That is... Take a pair of pliers, pull it in, grab the fetus's head, and pull him out.

This method can be described as simple and crude.

As soon as Zhu Di saw... Imperial Doctor Xu took out a big thing... This thing seemed to be a poker with two blades, his eyes were straightened, and he subconsciously said: "Your mother...you... "

Doctor Xu said: "Your Majesty... Duke Wei asked me to do this."

Zhang Anshi said: "The voice of the empress is getting weaker and weaker, it can be seen that she is not in good health, she must hurry up."

Only then did Zhu Di shut up.

At this time, he was more anxious than anyone else, but then, he saw something unimaginable.

Doctor Xu carefully poured alcohol on the forceps again, then... took the scissors, and began to cut some openings.

Zhu Di's eyeballs dilated, and his pupils began to shrink.

This doctor Xu is not like a doctor, but like a butcher.

Zhu Di couldn't bear to watch what happened next.

He was busy turning his head away.

However, Imperial Physician Xu was still wiping away his sweat and continued to work.

After confirming that there was no problem with the opening, he carefully began to stick out the forceps...

…………

Behind the screen, Zhang Anshi held his breath.

Empress Xu already felt that her body no longer belonged to her. The long-term contractions and pain, coupled with the weakness of her body, had left her without any strength.

But the pain still continued, what was terrible... She didn't even have the strength to cry out.

As a woman who has given birth to many children, Empress Xu knows that if this continues...I'm afraid...everything will be over.

But she wanted to use all her strength, but she felt limp. At this moment, she just wanted to fall asleep.

In that moment, she even thought about life and death, her sons and daughters, and even His Majesty, and even... her deceased father Xu Da, and Empress Ma who taught her back then.

This thought was only a momentary thing, but it made Empress Xu aware of the danger, as if something bad was about to happen.

This is the perception of a woman, a woman who has had many children.

Just when she was so exhausted that she couldn't even think.

Suddenly, a baby's cry suddenly resounded.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Not the woo-woo-woo-wah clear howl.

Or like killing a pig.

And like a kitten, purring feebly.

Zhu Di turned his head away, but when he heard this movement, he hurriedly turned his head, so...he saw...the huge pliers holding a big mouse-like baby's head appeared in front of his eyes.

"I am your mother! You are dead."

Doctor Xu: "..."

"Your Majesty... are mother and child safe?" Zhang Anshi behind the screen was also exhausted. He felt that this process was more painful than giving birth to his own baby.

After a while, Zhu Di said, "Mother and daughter are safe."

………………

It took a lot of time to check the information, I will pay attention to the update time next time, and I dare not in the future!
