Zhu Hanfei shook her head and said helplessly: "It's too difficult to save her while keeping the child. I can't do it."

Wu Qing whispered, "What if I ignore the child?"

When Zhu Hanfei heard this, she almost thought she had heard it wrong.

"My Lord, what did you just say is...?"

She lowered her voice and said in disbelief, "Don't you need to protect the child?"

Wu Qing quickly waved his hands, pretending to be indifferent.

"God knows, I didn't say that. Of course I want the baby to be born safely. But you also know that things in the world are not always as we wish. We are just ordinary people, how can we plan for everything?"

"——Is there a possibility that this child was stillborn?"

"Or maybe the child was cursed by a witch and couldn't be born into this world?"

Wu Qing continued to talk to her, "Maybe the Book of Life and Death has already stated that today is the date of this child's death? In that case, can we pay more attention to Zhao Changzai's life?"

Zhu Hanfei understood.

——Noble Lady Ji wants Concubine Zhao to be alive.

——And the concubines outside also wanted Zhao Changzai to be alive.

As for the life of the unborn prince and princess, they tacitly agreed not to mention it.

This was too abnormal. Zhu Hanfei didn't know what to do for a moment.

Reason told her that she should quickly get rid of this hot potato and pretend that she had never stepped into Zhao Changzai's delivery room.

but……

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!

If she could save the lives of Concubine Zhao and the child, she didn't believe that the emperor and the empress would still drive her out of the palace!

Zhu Hanfei gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

After thinking through the pros and cons, Zhu Hanfei said solemnly: "My dear, no matter what, we must perform a cesarean section."

When Zhao Changzai heard this, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

Cesarean section? Isn't this the same as the diagnosis of the Imperial Hospital? ...It seems that even the people sent by the goddess can't save me.

But Wu Qing knew that Zhu Hanfei had not finished speaking.

Sure enough, Zhu Hanfei continued, "Without a caesarean section, the fetus will definitely not be born. By then, she will often suffer from exhaustion and hemorrhage, and there will definitely be two deaths."

"It would be better to take the baby out and try to sew up Chang Zai's abdomen. This way there is at least a glimmer of hope."

Time was running out, so Wu Qing didn't waste any words and asked her directly: "If it's a cesarean section, what do you need?"

Zhu Hanfei's face was solemn. "A lot, and very urgent. Does your Excellency know Mr. Browning? His clinic sells a complete set of surgical tools. I would trouble you to get them for me within half an hour. If you exceed this time, Zhao Changzai will be in danger."

"It's no trouble. You mean the medicine box? I have it."

While waiting for Zhu Hanfei to come over, Wu Qing had already asked Jinxiu to bring many things.

Wu Qing took out the wooden box that he had prepared for Zhu Hanfei long ago and handed it to Zhu Hanfei.

"Take a look at the tools here. Are they what you want?"

The utensils inside were all familiar to Zhu Hanfei. The second layer of the box was also filled with bottles and jars with various labels.

Zhu Hanfei touched her nose, surprised at Concubine Ji's adequate preparation.

She said: "... In addition, we need a few rare medicinal herbs. The herbs are quite rare and may not be available in the Imperial Hospital. We need you to send someone to the city to look for them."

Qingjingzhi, Wubao leaves, Baibao fruit...

Zhu Hanfei recited some names of medicinal herbs that seemed to be only found in the Western Xia Kingdom.

Even the big medical clinics in the city would find it difficult to prepare all these materials.

Wu Qing said happily: "That's great. In order to treat the Queen, the palace has specially purchased a batch of Xixia medicinal materials. The ones you just mentioned are all available in the Imperial Hospital!"

Zhu Hanfei was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved.

——Noble Lady Ji has predicted the future time and again.

Everything was ready. Zhu Hanfei said with an unprecedented serious expression: "My dear, the last point, and the most crucial one, is don't let anyone in."

The instruments and herbs were all available, but when she had studied with Mr. Browning before, she had only fought a few times at most.

If she wants to save Zhao Changzai's life, she needs to devote herself to it.

…

The delivery room is isolated from outsiders.

All the concubines were seated in the main hall under the arrangement of Concubine Shu.

Compared with the anxious expressions of the imperial doctors, the concubines did have some anxiety in their brows, but it was not too exaggerated.

——Because Wu Qing’s inner voice is being broadcast live to them.

[The knife landed above the pubic bone, leaving a clear cut. Hiss——they were actually trying to pry the flesh apart on both sides?!]

Concubine Zhang's face suddenly turned bad.

She moved her chair, trying to move to a place where she couldn't hear Wu Qing's voice.

It was so fierce at the beginning that her little heart couldn't bear it.

[Make another cut, open the fascia, and then... you can see the rectus abdominis. ]

[Incise, incise again... Now I've made a small cut on the peritoneum. Eh? Don't cut it? I can't operate on such a small cut...]

[Oh my god! Sister Fei just used her fingers to open the wound! There's so much blood!]

[Oh, I can see the uterus now... No way? Oh my god, I need to cut one more... How many cuts have I made already?]

Hearing this, five or six more concubines turned pale and wanted to get up and say goodbye.

The scene was too bloody, they dared not imagine it. ...After all this, could Zhao Changzai still be alive?

The Queen said coldly: "Everyone sit down and wait until Concubine Zhao gives birth safely before leaving."

[Ouch, I wasn't paying attention and got sprayed with blood all over my face. 】

[I saw the baby! My god, the head is too big. There is no way it can be born naturally.]

[…Sister Fei, should we just take the baby out? I’m so nervous, I feel like I can’t breathe.]

The concubines also held their breath.

[The baby's head is out, the shoulders are out... the baby is all out. Phew - the umbilical cord can be cut.]

"call--"

Following this announcement, the concubines all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their tense hearts relaxed a little.

However, at this moment, Wu Qing's scream suddenly resounded through the sky.

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! 】

[Sister Fei, she…she actually took the entire uterus out of her body! ]

[What the hell!!! So the uterus has to be sutured outside the body!!! Zhao Chang, hold on, wuwuwu!!!]

Yuepin touched her chest and praised sincerely, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu, it's really not easy for you two."

"Yes, from now on, you two will be the strongest women in the world in my heart."

Concubine Shu shook her head. "Giving birth to children is a woman's natural duty. Why do we need to praise her so much? We are just fulfilling our due responsibilities as women."

"That being said..."

Jiu agreed to look around and carefully observe everyone's expressions before whispering, "Should we still sleep with him now? The emperor is..."

But only deformed children will be left.

Jiu agreed but didn't dare to say all the words.

In fact, what she wanted to say was...

After knowing how horrible giving birth is, she didn't want to have one at all, not at all!
