Helian Jue was both frantic and excited.
He even somewhat hoped that A Yuan would give him a daughter.
However, he didn't say it aloud.
Because he knew that the consequences of challenging societal norms were too severe.
He didn't want A-Yuan to bear too much burden.
A Yuan has already done enough for him; people in Yuezhou are already saying she's a "hen crowing at dawn."
As for his children, he should face the storms and challenges of the future alone!
"Ah Yuan, don't worry. Whether it's a son or a daughter, I'll love them as long as they're your children."
I will also leave the foundation we built together to him (or her).
Crown Princess?
Empress?
Haha, just thinking about it makes Helian Jue's blood boil.
Helian Jue concealed his thoughts, while Xie Yuan was also secretly making plans.
After the New Year, Xie Yuan summoned Luo Peiyu and said, "Go and inquire whether there are any skilled midwives in Lingnan."
Luo Peiyu was Xie Yuan's embroidered messenger and also her secret force.
In layman's terms, they are personnel who specialize in intelligence gathering.
If you want to find out about something quietly, it's better for her to do it herself.
"Yes! I understand!"
Luo Peiyu agreed, and seeing that Xie Yuan had no further instructions, she withdrew.
Xie Yuan thought for a moment and then called Zheng Yurong over, saying, "Select some more women and send them to the medical school for further study."
"Also, are there any doctors in Lingnan who are particularly skilled in gynecology and obstetrics? We should try to invite them as well!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Zheng Yurong obediently responded.
Zheng Yurong didn't ask any further questions.
Firstly, she was loyal to Xie Yuan and always obeyed his every word;
Secondly, their own princess is pregnant, and the princess has always been the kind of person who plans ahead.
Training female doctors in advance, especially those specializing in gynecology, is a perfectly reasonable decision.
"Bring Physician Feng here!"
In the end, Xie Yuan thought of Physician Feng.
This guy is a medical fanatic who dares to dissect corpses.
Thanks to him, Xie Yuan produced anti-inflammatory drugs and also obtained a new drug to counteract the poison of miasma.
She now wants to get the "suture" done ahead of time through Physician Feng.
Because both cesarean sections and episiotomies require suturing.
Xie Yuan had previously given Physician Feng some pointers.
If a soldier in the Prince's Palace suffered a serious external injury and needed stitches, Xie Yuan would tell Physician Feng about the stitching techniques used in later generations.
Back then, things were still quite rough, so we could only sew with ordinary thread for the time being.
Xie Yuan remembered that catgut could be used.
This time, she aims to completely perfect and further improve her suturing technique.
For example, doctors must master the technique of suturing.
Xie Yuan didn't want a long centipede-like mark left on his stomach.
"Sheep gut?"
Physician Feng utterly idolized Princess Yue.
This princess, though of noble birth, always had some ingenious ideas.
And these ingenious ideas always come true.
That's amazing.
"Yes! It's made with sheep intestines, especially those from lambs that are seven or eight months old!"
Xie Yuan slowly shared the historical facts she knew, which were materials she had consulted when she was making short videos.
"Take out the sheep intestines, scrape off the fat and other impurities, and only take the innermost layer of mucous membrane."
"Soak in alkaline water, flatten it, and then fumigate it with sulfur."
"After shaping, they are kneaded into different fine threads according to length, size, etc."
Physician Feng listened attentively and took careful notes.
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he slowly nodded, "This old minister understands, I will go and conduct the experiment now!"
He has already tasted the benefits of conducting experiments.
Although those rabbits were somewhat pitiful, the drugs developed through experiments did indeed save many lives.
The rewards from the Yue King's Palace were very generous.
The current Imperial Physician Feng is the chief physician of the Prince's Medical Center and also a professor at the medical school.
At the Prince's residence, Physician Feng was highly respected.
Even the usually arrogant prince was very polite to Physician Feng.
Higher status means better treatment.
The Prince of Yue's mansion directly gifted him a large five-courtyard house, enough for his children and grandchildren to live in.
There are also monthly allowances, holiday gifts and bonuses, year-end bonuses, medical awards, and so on.
In less than two years since Physician Feng arrived at the Prince of Yue's residence, he has amassed a considerable fortune solely through the bonuses given to him by the Prince and Princess.
If he were to return to the capital in the future, he could use this money to build a considerable business.
Furthermore, if he really had the chance to go back, Physician Feng believed that he wouldn't have to spend any money himself, and the Prince and Princess wouldn't treat him unfairly.
Perhaps, he can even return to the Imperial Medical Academy and achieve a true triumphant homecoming.
Physician Feng's personal wealth and status were already tied to the honor and disgrace of the Prince of Yue's mansion.
He will only become more loyal to the King and Queen of Yue.
Now, the princess has brought up something called sheep gut suture.
Intuition told Physician Feng that this was another excellent product.
If he does well, he will not only receive a reward from the Prince's Palace, but his good name will also spread far and wide, and he may even leave a mark in the history books.
The more Physician Feng thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could rush to the Xie family manor immediately to conduct the experiment as soon as possible.
After dismissing the eager Physician Feng, Xie Yuan thought for a moment and realized that there were no major problems anymore.
Helian Jue is back. She is pregnant, so it's not good for her to be too stubborn about some things.
She has already done enough; if she crosses the line or loses her sense of proportion, it will be counterproductive.
The relationship between husband and wife still needs to be continuously and carefully maintained.
