337 Successful Birth

There were two midwives in the room. Ping'an had learned from Wang Wei that one of them was Madam Hou's confidant, good at delivering babies and knowledgeable about medicine, while the other one was his wife's dowry.

The Crown Prince's wife was still conscious, but she was weak and sweaty, and she was in despair. She had given birth to a son and a daughter before, but they were too few children. The whole family was very happy with this baby, but who knew this would be the result.

"Madam, my name is Ping An, and I am the eldest son's apprentice. I can help you and your son be safe. Trust me."

Qian was a little stunned. How old was the child? How could she help her?

"Where is your master? Save my child, save my child." She shouted desperately, but her voice was not very loud, and both old women shed tears.

"My master is outside, don't worry, everything will be fine."

This was not a lie, his master was indeed outside, but he would not come in.

"Tong Miao, feed her the anesthetic."

"Yes, Master."

Ping An looked at the two maids and said, "Madam will perform the surgery later. You can leave or stay, but you must not make any noise. You can take turns to go out and ask your prince."

Ping An no longer paid attention to them after he finished speaking. Leng Yue had already opened the medical box and placed the master's surgical tools one by one on the white cloth on the table. She then opened a package which contained several outer gowns and masks.

The two maids took turns going out, and when they came back they were both pale. They told Ping An that it was useless for the two of them to stay inside, and they might even implicate their master.

Ping An waved his hand and asked them to go out.

The master would not agree to let these people be in there. If they can't stand it and scream or do something inappropriate, something bad might happen.

A quarter of an hour later, the Crown Prince's wife fell into anesthesia.

Tong Miao and the other two helped lift the woman's top to below her chest and pull her pants belt down to her hips. They first carefully scrubbed her belly with warm water and then disinfected it with alcohol.

Ping An waited for them to finish all this, not daring to waste any time. He didn't dare to give too much anesthetic as the child couldn't bear it. He used a set of silver needles, in addition to some local anesthesia on the belly, the main purpose was to stop the bleeding.

After considering many factors, Ping An decided to make a horizontal incision for the mother. The postoperative pain would be much less than a vertical incision, but it would be a bit more troublesome.

Tong Miao and his friends would occasionally practice performing surgery on rabbits at the farm, but they had never performed a real operation. They had followed the female doctors and midwives at Baicaotang in delivering babies a few times, but this was the first time they had heard of a child being born in this way.

But the three of them had been trained in the Medical Valley for many years, so apart from their pounding hearts, everything else was fine.

Leng Yue used clean gauze to wipe the blood off her belly over and over again. Fortunately, the blood flow was not heavy.

The abdominal wall was opened layer by layer to enter the abdominal cavity, and the uterine muscle layer was cut horizontally below the peritoneum of the uterine cyst.

"Leng Yue, wait for me to pierce the amniotic membrane, and quickly absorb the amniotic fluid with a clean cloth."

"Yes, Master."

Among the three, Leng Yue has the best medical skills and the greatest courage.

Ping An waited for Leng Yue to drain the amniotic fluid, then he no longer hesitated, reached into the uterus with his right hand, took out the baby, and cut the umbilical cord...

Ping'an brought people in and two old women came out.

Several people in the hall fell silent, including Sun Sicheng.

What happened today was also forced.

He and Ping An had only read in Taoist Master Hu's medical books that when a woman was unable to give birth, she could have a caesarean section, which would at least give her a glimmer of hope.

They had indeed performed many laparotomies, but this was the first time they had performed a caesarean section.

What's more, it was really inconvenient for him to go in to avoid suspicion. Ping'an was not an adult after all, so it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a child.

Now is the time to save lives. The Wang family is so focused on saving people that they can't take care of many things. But when they come to their senses after a few days, it won't be like this anymore. After all, he is about the same age as the prince, and a caesarean section is different from a leg or foot section.

I hope Ping An's operation goes smoothly.

Sun Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief and decided to avoid such surgeries as much as possible in the future. They were human beings, not gods, and they couldn't save many people.

Wang Wei, his mother and Madam Qian also had cold hands and feet and were trembling all over. Lord Qian, who had hurried over, sat down on the ground when he heard what had happened.

Ping An took out the baby, it was a boy. The child was so well taken care of, weighing at least eight or nine kilograms. His whole body was chubby, and his face was so full that he didn't look like a newborn baby at all.

The child's body and face were a little purple, but his condition was not too bad.

He handed the child cold water and said, "Pick his mouth. If he doesn't cry, spank him upside down."

"Understood, Master."

They all know this. Babies born naturally sometimes have to do this too. Before in Yao Valley, it was these people who helped with the births. But after coming out, they haven't been exposed to these things much.

Ping An gently massages the uterus on the abdominal wall to stimulate uterine contraction and facilitate the detachment of the placenta. After the placenta comes out, the abdominal cavity can be cleaned and sutured with catgut.

"Wa, wah." The baby cried loudly.

Tong Miao and Leng Shui were both happy.

Tong Miao quickly cleaned the child with a clean cloth, put on the small clothes that had been prepared on the side, took a small quilt with cold water, and wrapped the child.

The child stopped crying and closed his eyes, occasionally opening them to look around. He was so cute.

Two quarters of an hour passed.

Ping'an sutured the wound, and Lengyue helped apply medicine, bandage it, and put on clothes.

Lengshui helped to clean up the surgical tools and the medical box. These tools and silver needles could only be wiped lightly, and the specific disinfection and cleaning could only be done when they returned.

Today, the three of them have finally opened their eyes. Their young master is truly a capable man.

Ping'an didn't dare to rest and took the pulse of the woman in labor. Fortunately, everything was normal.

He let out a long breath, picked up the child on the couch and smiled at him. This was the first baby he had delivered in this world, so it had a different meaning.

Ping'an walked towards the door and opened it halfway. The people outside had been standing at the door since they heard the child crying. When they saw Ping'an coming out holding the child, they all burst into tears.

Sun Sicheng asked, "It's safe. How is the mother?"

Ping An smiled and nodded: "Master, everything is fine at the moment. It will take another half an hour for the anesthetic to wear off before he wakes up."

He handed the child to Leng Yue behind him: "Take the child in."

After the door was closed, he looked at everyone and said, "The child can't be outside for long. Besides, too many people are not good for him. I'll let the maid go in to take care of him. I'll give you the precautions after the operation. Remember to follow them and don't be careless."

After Ping An finished speaking, he saw that everyone was still looking at him, somewhat puzzled.

Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "Young master or young lady?"

Ping An came back to his senses: "It's a young boy, Master, you go in and help her examine her later, and you need to talk more to the old woman."

He is exhausted.

"Got it. You sit aside for a while. Prince, have someone take my apprentices to wash up. We came here in a hurry and forgot to bring any spare clothes."

Madam Hou hurriedly said, "I'll have someone send them to wash up. Young Master Ping An is exhausted."

There is another grandson in the family. More importantly, they were almost in despair, but now they have a little grandson, and both mother and son are safe. How can they not be happy?

If the marquis, who is thousands of miles away, knew about this, he would be so happy. What he values ​​most is the prosperity of the family.
