Gu Jiu and Gu Mei followed Gu Rui and hurried to visit the eldest young lady, Mrs. Jia.
Jia was lying on the bed, unconscious.
Gu Rui held her hand and called out loudly, "Mingyue, Mingyue..."
Jia Shi seemed to have heard it, and opened her eyes in a daze, "What's wrong with me?"
"He's bleeding heavily, get out of the way immediately. Big cousin, talk to the big cousin's wife and tell her to stay awake and not fall asleep."
When Gu Jiu lifted the quilt, he saw a pool of blood on the bed.
"ah!"
Gu Mei screamed. As a girl, she had never seen a person bleed so much in her life. She was almost scared to death.
Gu Jiu reminded Gu Mei, "Sister Mei, go outside and guard for me, don't let anyone in."
Gu Mei nodded, "Sister Xiaojiu, I'll leave everything here to you. I, I'll go out first. You maids, please serve well."
Gu Mei's face turned pale and she hurried out of the bedroom.
Those scenes kept flashing through my mind, the bed covered in blood, it was so scary.
Gu Rui was not much better than Gu Mei. When he saw the blood all over the bed, his face changed.
He opened and closed his lips, "Sister Xiaojiu, are you okay? There's so much blood, what should we do? Will there be any problem?"
Then, he roared at the maids, "How did you serve the eldest young lady? She lost so much blood, why did you take so long to report it? If anything happens to her, I will bury you with her."
"Master, please spare me, please spare me!"
The maids all knelt down and said, "As soon as I found out that the eldest young lady was bleeding, I quickly sent for the imperial physician and asked the eldest young master to come over. But the eldest young lady was bleeding so heavily that nothing could stop it."
"Shut up! That's all quibbling." Gu Rui's eyes were red.
Gu Jiu frowned and finally disinfected the silver needle. "Brother, please move aside. I will try to stop the bleeding for my sister-in-law first."
"Okay, okay, I'll get out of the way."
Gu Rui stood by, still holding Jia's hand.
He looked at Gu Jiu nervously, "Sister Jiu, is she still bleeding? Can it be stopped? Can the baby be saved?"
Gu Jiu performed the acupuncture carefully, and soon sweat began to drip from his forehead.
She gritted her teeth and said to Gu Rui, "Don't think about the child now. It's good enough that the adults can keep their lives."
What?
Gu Rui's body shook, his face turned pale, unable to accept it.
"Sister Xiaojiu, are you saying she will die?"
"Shut up and don't bother me."
Gu Jiu roared, her heart pounding with anxiety. She had knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology, but no experience. For now, all she could do was try to stop the bleeding. The rest would have to wait for the imperial physician to arrive.
And judging by the amount of bleeding, I'm afraid the child cannot be saved.
Babies who are a few months old will not miscarry on their own, unlike fetuses that are one or two months old.
If the child dies in the womb, Jia must be given medicine to get the dead fetus out.
However, Jia's physical condition is extremely weak now, and I don't know if she can withstand such a cruel fact.
Jia was drowsy and vaguely heard voices.
She tried to open her eyes, "Da Lang, am I going to die?"
Gu Rui held her hand tightly, "No, you won't die, and I won't let you die."
Jia smiled weakly, with a glimmer in her eyes, but unfortunately the light was too weak.
Jia asked, "Where's the child? Is he still alive?"
Jia wanted to sit up and touch her belly to see if the baby was still there.
But she used all her strength and could only move her fingers.
Gu Rui held back his tears and said as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, you and the child will be fine, nothing will happen to you."
Jia smiled, "Really?"
"Really. Sister Xiaojiu is stopping your bleeding. As long as the bleeding stops, everything will be fine."
"I'm so sorry to have troubled Xiaojiu again. She's still a girl, how can I let her see these filthy things?"
"Stop talking and don't think so much. You will definitely get better."
Jia hummed and slowly closed her eyes, "I'm so tired, I'll take a nap first."
"Don't sleep, don't sleep."
"The imperial physician is here!"
Gu Mei called out at the door.
Today, Doctor Hu arrived at the right time with his female disciple Jin Ju.
Ignoring all the formalities, Doctor Hu took his female disciple directly into the bedroom. When he suddenly saw Gu Jiu giving acupuncture, he was stunned for a moment.
"What's going on?"
"Sister Xiaojiu is helping sister-in-law stop the bleeding." Gu Mei explained.
Gu Rui kept holding Jia's hand and called her softly.
Doctor Hu frowned, but said nothing. He hurried forward and took Jia's pulse first.
Looking at the amount of bleeding, even the knowledgeable Doctor Hu was shocked.
"Why is there so much blood? Stop the bleeding quickly."
Gu Jiu said coldly: "The bleeding is being stopped."
"Let me see."
Doctor Hu came to Gu Jiu's side, saw the acupuncture techniques and acupoints clearly, and immediately exclaimed.
He stared at Gu Jiu with a look of doubt and wonder, wanting to ask who he had learned this acupuncture technique from.
The key point was that this acupuncture technique was completely different from any other school he knew, but he saw the uniqueness of this acupuncture technique.
When Doctor Hu saw Gu Jiu's acupuncture method, he knew it was a unique acupuncture method created by combining the advantages of various schools.
This is serious.
Doctor Hu had never heard of anyone who had such ability to integrate the secret acupuncture techniques of various schools and create a new acupuncture method.
It’s amazing, really amazing.
Doctor Hu nodded secretly. He ordered his female disciple Jinju to boil the medicine, while he stayed and watched Gu Jiu perform acupuncture, his eyes fixed on her.
Gu Jiu inserted twenty-four silver needles in one breath.
When the last silver needle was inserted into Jia's body, Gu Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, his body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.
Gu Mei was quick to help Gu Jiu.
"Sister Xiaojiu, are you okay?"
Gu Jiu was sweating profusely, and her underwear felt soaked. She said weakly, "Sister Leimei, help me sit on the chair."
Gu Mei quickly helped Gu Jiu to sit down in the outer room.
"Sister Xiaojiu, you've worked so hard. You've sweated a lot. Drink some water."
Gu Jiu was almost exhausted, so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger.
Giving acupuncture, especially in cases like Jia's, when every second counts in saving the patient, is a physically demanding job.
Gu Jiu was so tired that his hands were shaking.
On normal days, when there's no rush for common illnesses, acupuncture can be performed at a leisurely pace. If you feel tired, take a break. Once you've rested enough, continue acupuncture.
Gu Jiu's fingers trembled several times before they stopped.
Then he picked up the teacup and drank a glass of water.
Gu Mei patted her back to help her calm down.
"Sister Xiaojiu, you've worked hard today. I didn't expect acupuncture to be so hard."
Gu Jiu took another breath and said, "It's mainly because my eldest cousin's wife is bleeding too much. She needs to stop the bleeding in time. We are running out of time."
It had worn her out, but at least the result was not bad. The bleeding had almost stopped.
Gu Mei asked quietly: "Sister Xiaojiu, do you think that sister-in-law will be okay this time?"
Gu Jiu glanced towards the bedroom and said, "With Doctor Hu here, perhaps the child can still be saved."
When Gu Mei heard this, her expression changed. "Is it possible that the child cannot be saved?"
Gu Jiu lowered his brows and said, "You saw it too. There was so much blood. I'm afraid the child is in great danger."
Gu Mei frowned and sighed, "My sister-in-law has been looking forward to this child for a long time. In order to have a smooth pregnancy, she has been immersed in medicine for the past two years. After finally having a child, she didn't expect this result."
Gu Jiu also sighed, "Sister Mei, don't think too much. When my eldest cousin's wife was pregnant with this child, her body was not well taken care of. She relied on the pregnancy protection to survive until today."
According to Gu Jiu, Jia's situation shouldn't have been a pregnancy. Embryos also need to survive and eliminate the weakest ones, so that a healthy child can be born.
From the beginning of Jia's pregnancy, she began to protect the fetus, which proved that the embryo was not developing well.
If I had not been so persistent and had not had so many obsessions, and had given up on preserving the pregnancy and let the embryo abort naturally, I might be pregnant with my second child now.
Maybe the second baby will be a healthy embryo, and Jia Shi won’t have to suffer so much.
If the child is not saved this time, Jia's body will suffer from severe loss of qi and blood, and she will not be able to get pregnant again within two years.
According to Gu Jiu's idea, it would be better for Jia to wait another three years before getting pregnant.
Can Jia and the Marquis' Mansion afford to wait for three years?
Gu Jiu shook her head slightly, she seemed to have witnessed a tragedy.
"What's the situation with the eldest young lady now?"
When the eldest lady, Xiao Wei, heard the news, she hurried over.
Even the old lady, the second lady Wang, and the third lady Duan sent people to visit.
Gu Mei hurriedly stood up and went to greet her, "Why is mother here?"
"Such a big thing happened, how could I not come? Xiaojiu is so thoughtful."
Gu Jiu bowed slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie in the lobby."
"Well, it's fate. She's my daughter-in-law, so naturally I have to care about her. You're girls, so don't go in. I'll go in and take a look first."
The eldest lady, Xiao Wei, hurried into the bedroom to check the situation.
Gu Mei was very worried. She whispered to Gu Jiu, "If we can't keep the baby, I don't know how disappointed my mother will be. Little Jiu, what should we do?"
"Doctor Hu will do his best. The child is secondary now; the adults are the key."
Gu Mei was startled. "Little Jiu, are you saying that my sister-in-law is also in danger? Hasn't the bleeding stopped?"
Gu Jiu whispered, "The baby is still in my belly."
Gu Mei suddenly covered her mouth, afraid that she would scream out in fright.
Yes, that's not a one- or two-month-old fetus, where heavy bleeding would just cause the baby to be expelled naturally. If a fetus of six or seven months old truly cannot be saved, it won't be born on its own, and a method must be found to remove the dead fetus.
Gu Mei was almost scared to death just thinking about that scene.
"What should I do? What should I do? I hope something really happened to my sister-in-law." Gu Mei was very worried.
Gu Jiu said weakly, "Wait for news. Trust Doctor Hu."
Gu Mei nodded. Now she could only believe that Doctor Hu had the ability to turn the tide.
Doctor Hu's female disciple came in with the boiled medicine.
She saw Gu Jiu sitting on the chair and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Gu Jiu smiled at her.
Jinju felt a little embarrassed and smiled too, then hurried into the bedroom with the medicine.
The maids kept carrying basins of blood.
Watching the maids coming in and out, Gu Mei's face became paler and paler, and no blood was left.
If this continues, is there any hope for adults and children?
When Old Madam Wei learned the seriousness of the situation, she sent her trusted confidant, Nanny Yu, to visit.
When Nanny Yu saw this situation, she was immediately shocked.
"How is it? Is the eldest young lady okay?"
Nanny Yu asked Gu Mei.
Gu Mei's face was pale. She shook her head and said, "The situation is not good. Doctor Hu is inside and is doing his best to save the patient."
Nanny Yu frowned. The situation didn't look good. She was afraid that the child could not be saved.
What a sin!
I finally got pregnant, and the birth was about to take place in two or three months, but suddenly I had heavy bleeding.
Yu Ma said, "I'll go in and take a look. You girls shouldn't go in. It's filthy in there."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Ma'am."
As soon as Nanny Yu stepped into the bedroom, she heard Jia's heart-wrenching cry.
"No! My child, my child..."
Nanny Yu was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.
Gu Mei rushed to the bedroom door, "What's wrong, what's wrong with sister-in-law?"
Madam Wei glanced at Gu Mei and sternly scolded her, "Don't come in."
Nanny Yu quickly pushed Gu Mei out and said, "Miss, it's dirty in there, don't go in."
A pregnant woman suffering from heavy bleeding is by no means a beautiful scene; it can even be described as terrifying and bloody.
If an unmarried girl sees such a scene, it may leave a psychological trauma, which will affect the relationship between husband and wife and pregnancy and childbirth.
