[Red Mansion] Third Sister You's New Life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 53 The Princess' Difficulty in Labor

Xu Ying wanted to open her eyes to see who the person who was about to pour cold water on her face was, but her eyelids seemed to be stained and heavy.As she was working hard, she felt a face towel soaked in cold water cover her face, and then wiped it gently, and she suddenly woke up.Opening her eyes, she saw that Yin Rong was wiping her face carefully, while Fu Shan was standing aside. Could it be that Master wanted to pour cold water on her?how could be?

"You have a fever," Fu Shan bent down slightly, and said to her in a gentle tone, "It's just past midnight, and you should be allowed to rest for a while, but there is an important mother who wants you to go and see; can you go Let’s go, if not, I’ll think of another way.”

"Maternity?" Xiu Ying became energetic when she heard it, "Where is it? Did you come here specially to invite me? I'm fine, I'll go right away." As soon as she said that, she rolled over and sat up, and she really felt a little dizzy. It is very likely that I watched the moon blowing the river wind on the deck every night during those few days, and I suffered from the wind and cold.

"Don't worry, drink this bowl of fever-reducing medicine first." Fu Shan said and brought over a jasper bowl, "It's been fried earlier, let them warm up, and I planned to let you drink it when you wake up tomorrow morning." See Seeing this bowl of black and thick soup medicine, Xuanying frowned, but she could only drink it down, and her small face wrinkled into a ball in an instant, "Oh, it's so bitter!"

Both people in the room laughed, Fu Shan took the medicine bowl, "Hurry up and wash up, I'll wait for you in front."

Yinrong wanted to come up to help comb her hair, but was blocked by Xuanying, "I'll do it myself!" While Yinrong was helping her tie her clothes, she quickly combed her long hair, then took cold water to rinse her mouth, and then rinsed her mouth with cold water. After washing his face with a cold towel, he packed up his tools and medical supplies, and went to the front hall to look for Fu Shan.

When she came to the front of the hall, Xuanying was stunned, because she saw that Fu Shan's mother, Princess Xuanyang, was also here.One of the mother and the son was sitting and the other was standing, their expressions were very dull, as if they were strangers, and the air between them seemed to be frozen.

"This..." Xiuying was in a dilemma, after thinking about it, she could only bite the bullet and stepped forward, "Please be safe, Princess Princess."

"No!" The princess turned around and looked at Xuanying, and looked her up and down, "Can you do it?" She shook her head again, "It took almost a night or two after the birth, and the midwives who came from the palace tried everything they could. After all, I don't believe you can beat them?"

"In the palace?" Su Ying seemed to have captured some important information.

"It's not the palace, it's the midwives in the palace. They are helpless! The one who gave birth to the baby is the Seventeenth Princess, the daughter of the Supreme Emperor, and the younger sister of the current Majesty. If you can help her give birth safely, This is a great achievement! Of course, if there is any mistake in the child or adult, you have to be buried with him! It depends on whether you dare to take this job!" The princess said coldly.

"I said, let her take a look; if she thinks it's okay, then she will be able to save Xiangguo's mother and son; if she can't do anything, then it's God's will. Besides, the life and death of my apprentice can only be said by me." Forget it!" Fu Shan's tone was colder than that of the princess.

"Hmph, you are capable, why don't you save yourself? Speaking of which, Princess Xiangguo is still your cousin! You have a good reputation, and the Holy Majesty has heard of it, so why don't you just invite me? It's all like this , if there is a mistake in Xiangguo, I will not be able to escape the punishment!" The princess was very annoyed.

Fu Shan ignored her and said one word to Xu Ying: "Let's go."

Seeing Xuan Ying looking at the princess with some fear, he simply pulled her sleeves, dragged her and walked out.

The princess immediately chased after him, "Wait for me! If I don't take you with me, you won't even be able to enter the princess mansion!"

"Don't pay attention to her." Fu Shan took Xuanying out of the store, and saw someone had brought a green horse over.

"We are in a hurry, so we should ride faster," said Fu Shan, then got on the horse, and stretched out his hand to Xuanying, "We are in a hurry, you and I are like father and daughter, you don't mind, do you?" ?”

"Of course not..." Xuanying got on the horse and sat down firmly. Before she finished speaking, Fu Shan kicked the horse's belly, and the Qingcong horse immediately ran forward quickly. Xuanying leaned back and almost fell Going down, he quickly tightened Fu Shan's clothes.

After running for about half an hour, they came to a magnificent mansion. The lights in front of the door were brightly lit, and there were many people everywhere, as if everyone was running in a hurry.Fu Shan reined in the horse, and hugged Xuanying with his back, and the two dismounted together; Xuanying was still moving her numb feet, and Fu Shan stepped forward, "Go and tell the Marquis of Yongning, Just say that Fu Dingchen is here."

Marquis Yongning is the husband of Princess Xiangguo. Because he has been stationed here with troops for many years, Princess Xiangguo built a mansion in Jinling.At this moment, he was naturally anxious like an ant on a hot pot. When he heard someone report that Fu Shan was coming, he hurriedly said, "Please!"

He led people to greet him in a hurry, and Marquis Yongning saw the little tail behind Fu Shan at a glance, and asked suspiciously, "This is it?"

"I'm a man, and it's inconvenient for me to go in and out of the delivery room; this is the female student I've accepted, who is the most intensive in the subject of obstetrics and childbirth; if even she can't do anything, then the princess, mother and child are really in danger," Fu Shan said, letting her go In front of everyone, "The last time Elder Cui Ge's youngest daughter was in labor, she was the one who helped to deliver the baby. Lord Hou will know when he asks. She observes the labor process inside, and I will also direct acupuncture and medication outside. You don't have to worry about it." .”

"Since this is the case, please hurry up, girl!" Seeing that Xuanying was still young, although Marquis Yongning had doubts, he could only take the two of them inside. Even if he didn't believe this girl, at least Fu Dingchen was here. Keep adults safe!

When she arrived outside the specially prepared delivery room, Xiu Ying found that the atmosphere here was very solemn, and she couldn't hear the voice of the parturient inside.Xuan Ying couldn't help but glanced at Fu Shan, Fu Shan smiled at her, and said softly, "Go in, I'm outside!" Xuan Ying nodded, tightened her burden, and then walked in firmly.

I saw a rich and fair young woman lying on the bed, humming weakly, her face twisted, her sweat-drenched hair pressed tightly against her cheek.It seems that even if it is a princess or a lady, as long as she is a woman, she will inevitably suffer from these inhuman sufferings.

"When did the first labor pains start? How many hours has it been?" Xuan Ying spread out the burden on the cabinet next to her, wrapped her hair with a cloth towel skillfully, put on the oiled paper clothes, and sat down at the end of the bed again. When I came down, I planned to help the princess to see the situation below.

"What do you want to do?" A nanny next to her immediately rushed up and grabbed Xiu Ying, "Who are you? This is where you can come? Come here, and take her out!"

"Nurse Gui!" Two young female officials soon came outside the door, "This is the person brought in by Lord Hou. I heard that he is Fu Qingzhu's female apprentice; he can't enter the delivery room, so he can only look after him outside. Don't worry! If even he can't help, who else can we count on!"

"So that's how it is..." When Mammy Gui heard that Fu Shan had come in person, she let go of her hand immediately, "Okay, okay, I'm going to ask the girl in this way. Our princess is delicate, the girl must be careful !"

At the same time, he told Xiu Ying the time and specific situation of the labor process, and it had already happened for more than [-] hours.As soon as Xiuying heard it, she knew that the princess was weak during labor. Seeing her rich appearance, she must have seldom moved during pregnancy.And the midwives are unavoidably restrained. The princess is a real golden branch and jade leaf after all. No matter how courageous those midwives are, even if they come out of the palace, they will not dare to step on the princess's belly or let the princess drink the boy's urine and swallow her hair; Afraid of pain and cherishing strength, isn't it impossible to survive?And if this situation can't be improved, isn't it because the mother and child are in danger?

Such a delicate puerpera is actually very common in modern times, and Xuanying naturally has a way to deal with it, so she immediately ordered, "Is there any castor oil? Go and fry some eggs." This is actually a folk recipe handed down, but In underdeveloped places, there are indeed hospitals using it, and it should contain prostaglandin-like effects that can stimulate uterine contraction.

Soon this dish of scrambled eggs was served, the princess took a few bites, then shook her head to express that she couldn’t eat any more, so Xiu Ying had to feed it herself, "Princess, you will have to work harder later, I will eat all of these, I promise You can give birth within two hours; if you don't eat, I'm afraid you will be in pain till dawn!"

As soon as the princess heard it, she finished eating obediently, and Xiuying was very satisfied, "That's right!" Then she listened to the fetal heartbeat with a bamboo receiver, and found that it was normal, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was a heartbeat. [-]% sure.

After washing her hands, wearing the sheep intestine gloves specially made for her by Yuan Xu, she began to perform obstetric examination for the princess.The princess frowned, whimpered in pain, and twisted and twisted all the time, so Xuanying had no choice but to order the maid to help her hold her leg, "If you are relentless at this time, what happens to the princess and the child, you know what the result will be! "

The maids really didn't dare to let go, so Xiu Ying carefully examined her and found that the cervix was almost dilated, but the progress of labor was slow because of weak contractions.

"Princess, I'm going to start acupuncture now; compared to your previous pains, acupuncture doesn't hurt at all, so don't be nervous; after I use the needles, your labor pains will speed up and the intervals will be shortened, one after another Son, the child will come out soon, do you want to relax first?"

She has always attached great importance to communicating with pregnant women. Only in this way can they stimulate their potential and confidence and create miracles.

The princess nodded, and Xiuying instructed the maids to massage and pat her legs, asking her to relax her muscles as much as possible.

Taking advantage of the princess's slack state, Xiuying quickly inserted silver needles in Hegu and Zusanli on the same side of her.

I don't know whether it was the effect of castor oil and eggs, or acupuncture, but after a while, the princess's face twisted, and the continuous pain began.

"Okay, I've seen the child's hair, hold your breath first, don't rush to use your strength; okay, hold your breath until the end, don't let your breath out!" Xiu Ying commanded, while exploring the situation below .

After a few contractions, the fetal head was stuck, and there was no progress for a while; moreover, Xuan Ying could feel that the princess was indeed exhausted, she was plump and fat, and did not have the toughness and explosive power of the young lady of the Xun family; and it had always been like this If it is, I am afraid that the fetus will be in danger of hypoxia and suffocation.After thinking for a while, Xiuying took out a self-made fetal head suction device, "I haven't used it yet, and I don't know if it will work; it doesn't matter, let's try it on you, someone will always be a test subject."

Of course, she only dared to murmur these words in her heart.Put the suction device on the fetal head and put it in a good position. She started to suck continuously with the pump to form a negative pressure. After a while, she tried to pull the suction device, but it didn't slip off, which shows that this thing is useful!Xu Ying secretly rejoiced, took advantage of another contraction, carefully pulled the fetal head out, saw the fetal head gradually exposed, but suddenly heard a bang, the suction device fell off!Seeing the fetal head that had finally come out half an inch and then retracted, Xiuying really wanted to cry but had no tears.It seems that the production of this thing is still not in place, and the seal is not tight enough.

It's so annoying that I want to curse!Xu Ying had no choice but to use the last tool, forceps.

Forceps, as the name suggests, is something like a four-jaw pliers that can be retracted and extended to clamp the fetus's head and slowly drag him out of the birth canal.

Of course, this method is not chosen unless it is absolutely necessary, because it may cause damage to the fetus' face.Xiu Ying had to be more careful, according to the position of the fetus she observed, carefully put the forceps in, and when it was in place, tightened it, and with another contraction, the fetal head was finally pulled out gently!

Xiuying quickly released the forceps, dragged out the baby's body, and quickly inspected it; seeing that the bamboo forceps only left a pair of faint red marks on the fetus' face, she was relieved. But when she found that the child's complexion was a little purple, Chu Ying couldn't help but thumped, and was about to deal with it herself, but the two nuns on the side quickly stepped forward to pick up the child and carried it to the side; There is a way, nothing more than slapping the feet and spanking, and using other means, of course the princess can't see these, lest she feel distressed.

Finally, the child let out a weak cry, and everyone inside and outside the house breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and everyone smiled; the maids rushed out to announce the good news; although it was a little thinner, it was a boy after all, and Yongning Hou couldn't help but be overjoyed , and immediately came over to hug the child; the people from the palace were also watching, so they immediately got up and went to announce the good news—because of the special status of Princess Xiangguo, they arranged for a courier to announce the good news. The emperor and empress are all waiting for Xin'er, which shows how much the princess is favored.

Looking back, the Marquis of Yongning began to spread rewards again, and the rewards Fu Shan and Xiu Ying received were particularly generous.Naturally, Xuanying couldn't accept the reward, because she still had to watch the placenta to give birth; when everything was done, the sky gradually dawned; she was nervous, stayed up all night, and took medicine for sweating and antipyretics, Xuanying felt A little dizzy, and the sweat was rolling down; the princess's personal maid noticed her abnormality, and hurriedly whispered a few words to the princess, and the princess forced herself to sit up, "Aiqing has really worked hard; this matter, let them take care of you." Go to the side and rest for a while, don't get tired at such a young age."

It seems that although the princess is of noble birth, she is a kind and amiable person.Xiuying quickly thanked her, and just asked to find a place to take a bath and change clothes; so the maid immediately went to arrange it.Taking advantage of this gap, Xiuying came out to meet Fu Shan; when Fu Shan saw her flushed face and sweat profusely, he knew that she was very weak, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring brown sugar ginger soup.

After drinking a bowl in one go, Xiu Ying felt a lot more comfortable, so she told Fu Shan what happened. Naturally, only Fu Shan could understand the embarrassment and danger.Fu Shan was greatly impressed, and said that she was decisive, courageous and insightful; the two talked for a while, and then a maid came to invite her, saying that the bathing things were ready, and she asked Xuan Ying to go over and change.So Xiuying asked the master to wait for a while, and she came as soon as she went; after walking a few steps, she heard the exclamation from inside, "Come here! The child is not well, he is out of breath!"

I heard someone shouting again, "When I heard that the child is not good, the princess also passed out!"

For a moment, the courtyard and the house were filled with panic, "How can I say this! Isn't this fatal?!"

"Help, Lord Marquis!"

"Save the princess! Save the child! My God!"
