The group of people rushed to Concubine Shu's palace in a mighty manner.
Just as Xiahou Cheng said before, Zhao Changzai's condition was indeed worrying.
All the imperial physicians who could be mobilized from the Imperial Medical Bureau gathered together.
Dean Liu and Vice Dean Wang were standing outside the delivery room talking in low voices, while the remaining imperial doctors had solemn expressions and were busy shuttling around various corners of the palace.
Basin after basin of blood was hurriedly carried out from the inner room by the palace maids, and the trays were filled with red-soaked gauze.
"Master, the noble Ji is here."
Xiahou Cheng called out to an imperial physician who was over fifty years old, his tone excited.
The imperial physician whom he called "Master" frowned slightly.
He scolded, "You kid, didn't I tell you to go home? Why are you here again? We old guys are responsible for handling things here, why are you making trouble again!"
Xiahou Cheng explained: "Master, I know you despise my poor medical skills, so I specially invited Lady Ji. She has superb medical skills and will definitely be able to help us."
The imperial physician's eyelids twitched wildly and he groaned inwardly.
Although this disciple of his is very talented, he is too honest and inflexible!
Zhao Changzai knew that something bad was going to happen as soon as he saw it, so he drove Xiahou Cheng away to protect him from being affected by the incident.
This kid is so good, not only did he not leave the palace, he also invited Concubine Ji!
Wu Qing stepped forward and saluted, asking, "What's the situation inside? If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."
The imperial physician opened his mouth to speak, but was silenced by Concubine Lin's cold eyes.
He gave up the idea of asking Concubine Ji to share the responsibility and said honestly: "Concubine Ji, I'm telling you the truth. Concubine Zhao is in a very critical situation."
"I'm afraid she won't be able to have a natural birth this time. The only way to have a chance of survival is to... perform a caesarean section to deliver the baby."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the concubines around showed expressions of horror.
...Caesarean section?
How to perform a dissection? Can the person survive after the dissection?
The only concubines who had given birth in the palace were the Empress, Consort Shu and Consort De, and that was at least seven or eight years ago.
Most concubines had no memory of giving birth. They only associated children with status and family honor, forgetting that it was actually a gate to hell.
Or maybe they thought about it, but were blinded by the desire for power and family expectations.
Concubine Lin asked calmly, "Where's the child? Is anything wrong?"
The imperial physician replied respectfully: "In reply to the Imperial Concubine, if we perform a caesarean section, we can save the child."
Concubine Lin interrupted his nonsense and said, "So, between Concubine Zhao and the child, only one can survive?"
The imperial physician nodded heavily.
This is actually a multiple-choice question with no options.
——The birth of the prince is more important, Zhao Changzai must be performed by caesarean section.
The queen who arrived later showed a look of pity: "How is Concubine Zhao now? Is there really no way to save the two of them?"
Liu Yuanzheng said: "Chang Zhao was too worried during her pregnancy and had a poor diet. She is weaker than an average person. Even if she survives now, she won't last long."
The Queen asked, "Then why do you always say that the situation is good when you report back?"
Liu Yuanzheng bowed his head and said: "I dare not deceive your majesty. The dragon fetus is in a very good position and is indeed healthy."
The queen really wanted to slap him.
As the dragon fetus is safe, can they ignore the life and death of Concubine Zhao?
Vice Court Administrator Wang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, this is what Concubine Zhao meant. Concubine Zhao firmly believes that the mother's weakness is a sign of the child's health, so she is not worried but happy."
[Changzai Zhao suffered from postpartum depression and paranoia. It was not easy to keep the baby. If she wanted to have a smooth delivery...]
Vice Dean Wang was sighing: "It's difficult!"
Wu Qing and Vice Dean Wang said in their hearts, "It's difficult!"
[Back then, when Concubine Shu gave birth, she also went through a lot of twists and turns, and almost had a hemorrhage due to exhaustion. Now, Concubine Zhao's situation is probably even more difficult. ]
Upon hearing this, the concubines all looked at Concubine Shu at the same time.
As the head of the palace, Concubine Shu was so busy at this time that she had no time to pay attention to the eyes of others.
Zhao Chang launched the attack in the early morning, and Concubine Shu must have been very panicked when she was woken up.
——She only had a fine layer of powder on her face, her movements were quick and decisive, and her words were spoken quickly, which was completely different from her usual gentle and charming image.
While busying herself, Concubine Shu kept giving instructions: "The water is cold, quickly add hot water. Don't leave too many people outside the delivery room, so as not to disturb the mother. Also, everything handed in must be heated first..."
The pain of giving birth to the second prince was still vivid in Concubine Shu's mind. She took a deep breath and prayed for Concubine Zhao in her heart.
Wu Qing continued to talk about the secrets of the palace: [It was even more miserable when the queen gave birth to the eldest prince. ]
[The queen herself was in poor health, and the eldest prince's fetal position was not correct. During delivery, the fetus was head down and almost suffocated.]
[This is the emperor's first child. At that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and his foundation was not stable. Knowing that his princess was about to give birth, several other princes asked for the imperial doctors for various reasons.]
[When the Queen was in doubt about her life or death, the Queen Mother told the Emperor outside the delivery room that if anything happened to Liu, she had already found a daughter from the Chang family to be his new princess.]
[The Queen heard everything clearly in the delivery room. After being encouraged by the Queen Mother, the Queen suddenly gained strength. She tried her best and finally gave birth to the eldest prince.]
Chang is the current Concubine De.
After hearing this, the concubines felt very uncomfortable.
The Empress Dowager has already chosen a new person for the Emperor before anyone has even left?
What is the Queen Mother as a person? A tool of production?
If even the queen is like this, what about them?
The queen's heart was also in turmoil, but after all, she had lived in the deep palace for a long time, experienced the vicissitudes of life, and knew how to conceal her emotions.
During this brief silence, Concubine Zhang took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
She stepped forward and bowed deeply to the imperial doctors whom she usually looked down upon. Her voice was full of sincerity: "Doctor Pang, Doctor Zhong, you are very knowledgeable and have read all the medical books. Please think about it again. Is there any way to save Concubine Zhao?"
Jiu nodded in agreement and said quickly: "We all know what kind of person Sister Zhao is. I really don't want her to leave like this..."
"If anyone can rescue Concubine Zhao, I will definitely thank them with a large sum of money and gifts." Concubine Shang said.
Five or six concubines echoed the opinion, leaving the imperial doctors stunned.
...Why is this different from what they imagined?
Zhao Changzai was of low rank, and the concubines should be overjoyed when she died. Without a mother, her children would have to find a concubine to be their adoptive mother.
But looking at the current scene, it seems like... the concubines want Zhao Changzai to survive?
The imperial doctors looked strange.
Liu Yuanzheng wiped his sweat and said, "Empress, regarding the life of Concubine Zhao, may I ask for your permission?"
"What's wrong with saying it?" The Queen rejected Liu Yuanzheng's request.
"Let's talk about it right here. Yuanzheng doesn't need to worry too much. Everyone present here is a sister in the palace. We should support each other. No one will wish Zhao Changzai bad luck."
Yuan Liu smiled bitterly.
Your Majesty, you should most hope that nothing good happens to Concubine Zhao!
The emperor was obviously dissatisfied with the eldest prince and the second prince.
If Zhao Changzai really gave birth to a smart prince, it would be a huge threat to you and the entire Liu family!
The queen said nothing and looked at him coldly.
Behind her, Concubine Lin, Concubine Yue, Concubine Shang and others all had expressionless faces, just waiting for Liu Yuanzheng to speak about Concubine Zhao's condition.
Liu Yuanzheng swallowed unconsciously.
...How strange, is Concubine Zhao so important?
