"I am truly powerless to help. The princess is suffering from severe hemorrhage, and the baby in her womb is in grave danger."
Shen Yunjiao heard that familiar voice as soon as she entered the room.
She called out, "Dr. Li??"
When Doctor Li saw Shen Yunjiao, it was as if he had seen a savior. He immediately got up and ran to Shen Yunjiao, saying, "Miss Shen, you have come at just the right time."
The Prince of Guangping's eyes were icy as he looked up at Shen Yunjiao, "And who is this?"
"This, this is Miss Shen Yunjiao from the Wen'an Pavilion, she can save the Princess!" Li Wei exclaimed, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
It wasn't that he was exaggerating; Shen Yunjiao's medical skills were indeed far superior to his.
Princess Guangping, lying in bed in excruciating pain, showed a slight reaction upon hearing Shen Yunjiao's name, "Miss Shen, hurry!"
"Please save my child." Her voice was weak as a whisper, as if she were about to faint the next second after she managed to say those words.
Seeing his beloved woman suffer, the Prince of Guangping was heartbroken and could hardly breathe. He held his princess in his arms and turned to Shen Yunjiao, saying, "Miss Shen, I beg you."
Shen Yunjiao quickly walked to the bedside and saw that the princess's skirt was stained red with blood. Her expression immediately turned stern.
"Dr. Li, stand behind the screen with your back to us and be ready to serve at any time."
"Everyone else in the room should leave, leaving only the Prince and me," Shen Yunjiao said calmly.
Her tone was not loud, but it carried a great deal of authority, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.
After everyone else in the room had left, Shen Yunjiao said to Prince Guangping, "Put the princess back on the bed, Your Highness. Holding her like this will cause her to bleed even more."
When Shen Yunjiao sees a doctor, her expression becomes very calm and domineering, and her words are even colder.
Normally, the Prince of Guangping would have been furious and had the man arrested and beaten with military rods.
But now the Prince of Guangping doesn't care at all. He is focused on his beloved wife and only hopes that Shen Yunjiao can save people as soon as possible.
After dismissing everyone, Shen Yunjiao quickly opened the box.
She put on gloves, lifted the princess's skirt, and spread the princess's legs apart, saying, "Princess, relax, bend your legs and spread them apart a little."
The Prince of Guangping's expression tightened, and he was extremely surprised.
The first time he saw a doctor examine a woman's genitals.
The princess was in so much pain that she was unconscious and no longer cared about her dignity, so she could only do as Shen Yunjiao said.
After Shen Yunjiao pulled open the princess's underpants and examined them carefully, she discovered that the princess's cervix had already opened slightly.
If no measures are taken soon, the child may really be washed away by blood.
Shen Yunjiao immediately said to Doctor Li, who was waiting outside the screen, "Quickly prepare a bowl of Anyuan soup and burn some mugwort to prepare for fumigation."
Dr. Li hurriedly agreed and left in a rush.
Shen Yunjiao looked up at Prince Guangping and said, "Your Highness, I am about to administer acupuncture to the Princess Consort. This needle will be inserted directly into her lower abdomen, which will be a little painful. Please help me press it down."
She opened the box, took out a thin silver needle, and inserted it into the uterus acupoint below the abdomen of Princess Guangping.
“The princess’s cervix is already dilated. If it dilates any further, the risk of miscarriage will be very high. I will use silver needles to insert into this acupoint to help the cervix slowly shrink back,” Shen Yunjiao explained in a gentle tone while inserting the needles.
"I understand." The Prince of Guangping's brows were furrowed with worry, and he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
Fortunately, Shen Yunjiao spoke up to explain, otherwise he would have really thought that this young woman was acting recklessly.
Princess Yan Zhen of Guangping had disheveled hair, beads of sweat on her forehead, and her abdomen twitched violently several times when she was pricked with a needle.
Afraid that her unborn child would be poked, she couldn't help but cry and say to Shen Yunjiao, "My baby keeps jumping, is he in a lot of pain?"
As a doctor, Shen Yunjiao naturally understood the princess's helpless feelings.
She took one hand and firmly grasped the princess's hand, saying, "Your Highness, be strong. For the sake of the baby in your womb, you must not cry."
Shen Yunjiao reassured her in a deep voice, "This needle won't prick the fetus, don't worry."
After saying that, she took out a shorter silver needle and inserted it behind the princess's ear, slowly rotating it.
The princess, who was originally drenched in cold sweat and trembling from the pain, miraculously relaxed under the influence of the two silver needles, and the pain receded like a receding tide.
Only then did Shen Yunjiao reach out her hand, close her eyes, and calmly take her pulse.
Prince Guangping was so nervous that he paced back and forth, wanting to ask a question but afraid of disturbing Shen Yunjiao.
A moment later, Shen Yunjiao opened her clear eyes and said calmly, "The princess is out of danger, and the fetus is safe for the time being, but I need to insert a few more silver needles into her Qihai and Dazhui acupoints."
At this moment, Doctor Li, drenched in sweat, carried a steaming bowl of medicine into the room. "Miss Shen, the medicine is ready."
"Put it there, Dr. Li, come and help me."
Shen Yunjiao couldn't handle both taking pulses and applying acupressure by herself, but fortunately Li Wei was there to help.
Fortunately, after the acupuncture, Princess Guangping drank the medicine, and the pain in her lower abdomen subsided, and the bleeding stopped.
Just then, Physician Jiang also rushed over from Baohua Temple.
He first inquired about the illness briefly, then took the princess's pulse. Upon learning that it was Shen Yunjiao who had treated her with acupuncture, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Miss Shen, even I wouldn't have thought of using such a method to save her," Physician Jiang said softly to Shen Yunjiao.
Acupuncture is already a great test of a doctor's skills, and this patient was pregnant. If they were not careful, it could have resulted in the death of both the patient and the baby.
Miss Shen is indeed highly skilled and daring.
Physician Jiang felt even more favorably toward Shen Yunjiao.
Shen Yun smiled without saying a word, and silently put her things away.
Upon seeing this, Prince Guangping hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Imperial Physician, Miss Shen, are my wife and the child in her womb truly alright?"
Physician Jiang said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. The Princess Consort was on the verge of miscarriage, but fortunately, Miss Shen provided timely treatment and saved the child's life."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Guangping's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
He took a deep breath and thanked Shen Yujiao sincerely.
Princess Guangping had regained some strength and tried to sit up to express her gratitude, but Shen Yunjiao quickly pressed her down.
Shen Yunjiao quickly said, "Your Highness, you are very weak right now and need to stay in bed to ensure a healthy pregnancy."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Yan Zhen wanted to get down and kowtow to Shen Yunjiao the moment she knew that the baby in her womb was safe.
"Yun Jiao, you are my great benefactor." Crystal tears kept sliding down her cheeks, soaking her pillow.
Shen Yunjiao felt a mix of emotions, including gratitude, a sense of accomplishment and transcendence after saving someone.
The most rewarding moment for a doctor is successfully saving a life.
Shen Yunjiao was naturally happy for the princess. She gently wiped away the tears from the princess's eyes and said with a gentle smile, "I am a doctor, saving lives is my duty, there is no need for thanks."
"Your Highness, instruct a few maids to thoroughly clean the Princess's body. She cannot take a bath for the next few days, nor can she eat anything that promotes blood circulation. Most importantly, she must avoid any emotional fluctuations during this period."
