Chapter 28 Is Mother Going to Die Tonight?
The three little guys went to Wen Yuanzhang's room and immediately surrounded Wen Yuanzhang, asking him questions.
"Grandpa Wen, is it dangerous for women to give birth?"
Wen Yuanzhang nodded. "In our Great Jin State, there are statistics that show the average mortality rate for women during childbirth is as high as 30%. Simply put, for every ten women who give birth, almost three will not survive."
The three children's faces turned pale instantly.
Wen Yuanzhang sighed, "However, this data generally refers to first births. Moreover, compared to this data, the mortality rate in poor families is higher. Official families, especially those in the palace, are relatively better off."
He knew what the children were worried about. "So, your mother, this isn't her first time giving birth, and she's been taking her pulse regularly. She's in good health now, so there shouldn't be any problems."
The three children asked some more questions before leaving together.
Bai Ruian felt that what Doctor Wen said seemed to be no different from what he read in the book.
He quickly came to a conclusion, "It seems that something unexpected happened during the birth of my mother. That's why even Doctor Wen can't see any problems now."
"What should we do then?" Bai Shian became more and more anxious.
Bai Ruian looked at Li Suining. At this time, Li Suining was their only hope.
Before it got dark, the three little guys were waiting in the yard of Qinxin Garden, looking at the stars from time to time to see if they were out.
After waiting for a long time, Bai Shian was the first to discover, "It's out, it's out, the stars are out."
Li Suining immediately climbed down from the chair and stood obediently in the middle of the yard, tilting his little neck to look at the stars in the sky.
Bai Shi'an and Bai Ruian were so anxious that they didn't dare to breathe.
Time passed little by little, and Li Suining stood there motionless for an hour, but still gained nothing.
She saw a lot of trivial things, even saw the prince playing with Ruixue, and Zhou Zaiwen had already put on his official uniform... but she didn't see what happened to her mother.
She couldn't help but wonder if her mother was going to die tonight, so... she couldn't see.
"Sister, why don't you come over and rest for a while?" Bai Shian really couldn't bear it. It would be great if he could help his sister share the burden.
The little fellow shook his stiff little head, his eyes refusing to leave the starry sky for a moment, fearing that he would miss any information.
Bai Shi'an had no choice but to look at Bai Ruian, "Old Five, is there any other way?"
Bai Ruian stood up, went over and took Li Suining's hand, "Sister, you come first, Fifth Brother wants to tell you something."
"But fifth brother..." Li Suining's big eyes were instantly filled with tears. She must save her mother. She couldn't lose her mother again.
"Believe in Fifth Brother, be good and don't cry!" Bai Ruian curled the corners of his mouth and directly carried Li Suining to the chair.
He carefully took out a book from his arms and said, "I stole this from the library at the academy. It's a medical book."
Li Suining wiped away her tears and shook her head like a rattle. "My father said that children shouldn't steal."
This father obviously refers to Li Tianfu.
"It's not stealing, it's not stealing, it's borrowing!" Bai Ruian changed his words instantly.
Bai Shian came back to his senses. At this moment, as long as he could save his mother, he didn't care even if he was asked to rob her.
He immediately asked anxiously, "Lao Wu, have you seen it? Is there any useful information?"
"It's hard to say." Bai Ruian had basically finished reading the book in school. He looked at Li Suining and said, "Sister, listen to your fifth brother now and close your eyes."
"Ah?" Little Dumpling said anxiously, his face full of confusion, "But if you close your eyes, you can't see the stars."
Bai Rui'an continued, "Sister, close your eyes and think of what you want to see in your mind. Concentrate on it, then open your eyes and look at the stars. Perhaps you will see what's happening to mother."
"Really?" Bai Shian confirmed expectantly.
Bai Ruian nodded, "That's what the book says."
In fact, how could there be such contents in the book? This way of thinking was taught to them by the Master.
The Master said that if you focus your attention and have strong faith, you will get the answer you want.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Li Suining's face, which had just been a little frustrated, instantly became full of fighting spirit. "Then Suining, are you going to close your eyes now?"
"Well, give it a try. Even if it doesn't work the first time, we can try a few more times." Bai Ruian encouraged the little girl, "Don't be afraid, sister. We all believe in you."
Bai Shian took a deep breath and patted Li Suining's shoulder gently, "Yes, sister, you are a lucky star, and fourth brother believes in you."
"I must help my mother." Li Suining's face was very determined. As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes.
This time, Bai Shi'an and Bai Ruian didn't dare to disturb her, and even couldn't help praying silently in their hearts. They didn't dare to hope that Li Suining would succeed tonight. They only asked God to give them a chance and let them know what would happen before Wei Ranzhu gave birth.
After a long while, Li Suining felt that it was almost time and opened her eyes. Bai Shian immediately carried her to the middle of the yard.
"Fourth brother, we can definitely save mother." The little guy said with great determination.
"Well, Fourth Brother believes you." Bai Shi'an nodded with the same firmness. At this time, he seemed to hear some movement in the room.
Li Suining was fully focused. Like a little adult, she took a deep breath and then slowly looked up at the sky.
With just one glance, she saw the scene of that day again.
"I saw it!" she exclaimed, but her voice trembled slightly.
Bai Shi'an and Bai Ruian immediately stepped forward nervously. They looked at each other excitedly, knowing that Wei Ranzhu was finally saved.
However, no one expected that at this moment, the head maid from Wei Ran's bamboo house ran out and ordered someone to find a midwife and inform the general. She said anxiously, "Madam...Madam may be about to give birth."
Bai Shi'an and Bai Ruian's expressions changed instantly. Li Suining was also shocked and couldn't help but look towards the house.
My mother is about to give birth. Is it too late?
She was so anxious that tears rolled down her face and she couldn't help stamping her feet.
"What should we do? Is it too late?" Bai Shian's voice was clearly filled with fear.
"No, no." Bai Ruian grabbed Bai Shi'an's arm, "Fourth brother, go find Doctor Wen right away and tell him that Mom might bleed a lot during childbirth. Tell him to be prepared and come over right away, hurry up!"
"Okay, okay!" At this time, Bai Shi'an was unable to think, but instinctively believed Lao Wu and immediately did what he said.
Bai Ruian squatted in front of Li Suining again, "Sister, look after Fifth Brother!"
Li Suining's little face was covered with tears.
"Sister, please listen to what Fifth Brother says. At least because of your reminder, we found Doctor Wen. Maybe Doctor Wen can change the situation." Bai Ruian said seriously.
Li Suining hesitated for a moment before whispering, "But... Grandpa Wen is here. I... just saw... Mother... still bleeding a lot. Nothing has changed, nothing has changed."
