Chapter 466 Prenatal Turmoil
Qu Tong spoke softly, sharing the information she had received from Si Yuting: "He used to be Rong Chengjue's shadow guard, a commoner, but now he holds an important position in the Casa Palace."
These news items are not secrets in the Casa Empire, but they have not yet reached the Canaan Empire.
"Oh~ the loyal dog type?"
"To be chosen by a beauty like Rong Yueqing, one must at least be as good-looking as Dr. Gu."
They started chattering and discussing.
"What has Song Ke been up to lately?" Qu Tong asked curiously.
Xu An and Jiang Zhou knew that they would have to return to the Southern Territory with the main force after attending the commendation ceremony, but what about Song Ke?
At this point, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao became even more excited.
"Sister Tong, I think your brother and Song Ke are getting closer too," Cheng Yao said, winking.
Qu Tong straightened up. "Ahem! What do you mean by that?"
"Song Ke rejected the marriage her family had chosen for her and went to train with Xu An's former mercenary group."
Fei Wenxing continued, "It is said that Song Ke and her marriage partner had maintained a harmonious relationship. The man was from the Third Military Academy, and the two families planned to get married after Song Ke graduated. They also planned to have the man transfer to the First Military Academy next semester so that the two could develop their relationship."
"Unexpectedly, Song Ke suddenly went to the man's house alone to break off the engagement and left the capital planet."
"This matter caused quite a stir before, but it was overshadowed by the buzz surrounding you and His Highness the God of War."
"I only found out about Song Ke's mercenary team a few days ago when I was chatting with Brother Zizai."
"Is that the guy nicknamed 'Four-Eyes'? Do you remember him, Sister Tong?"
Qu Tong nodded, truly admiring Fei Wenxing and his companion; they could find out all sorts of gossip and had friends all over the world.
“Zizai and his brother also told us that Xu An specifically instructed them to take good care of Song Ke. In private, when they chatted, they all referred to Song Ke as their sister-in-law.”
"I heard that the mercenary group's training direction is also in the south. With my professional eye, the two of them will eventually come together."
Fei Wenxing pushed up his non-existent glasses, looking shrewd.
The phrase "one together" conveys two meanings.
Qu Tong: "School's starting soon, isn't she coming back to class?"
Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao knew these rumors better than Hu Qing; asking them was definitely the right thing to do.
Cheng Yao looked at her and said, "Have you forgotten? Song Ke didn't choose to intern at the Legion once. I guess she probably already planned it out."
“She will definitely choose the Fifth Legion!” Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao said confidently in unison.
It's been a while; she almost forgot about it if the two of them hadn't mentioned it. So, you can save up these kinds of rewards.
She learned a lot of gossip from Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao that she didn't know before.
When it was almost time, the two said goodbye and took back a lot of local specialties with them—fresh fruit and mushrooms specially prepared by Butler Chi, as well as green and red peppers that Butler Chi had taken good care of in the yard.
When Butler Chi had the robot hand the two large baskets to Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao, he thoughtfully reminded them, "Make sure they're thoroughly cooked."
Cheng Yao covered his mouth and chuckled, while Fei Wenxing's expression stiffened, and he looked at Qu Tong with resentment.
Qu Tong smiled, pursed her lips, and waved, "Take care on your journey."
Not long after Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao left, Si Yuting also returned.
That night, Qu Tong couldn't sleep because of back pain, so Si Yuting stayed up all night with her, giving her hot compresses and massages.
Warning the baby not to bother the mother is useless; every pregnant woman's body is different, it's not the baby's fault.
Qu Tong frowned in discomfort, and her eyes were now slightly dark due to lack of sleep in the past few days.
Si Yuting felt sorry for her and shared his thoughts.
After some discussion, they decided to have a cesarean section at the hospital ahead of schedule.
The next day, many well-known doctors in the industry went to the military hospital for Qu Tong's sake.
Several senior doctors, upon learning that Qu Tong was planning to give birth prematurely, offered their advice to dissuade her.
"Your Highness, no! With your excellent condition, you should have a full-term, natural birth. That way, the child will have the greatest chance of inheriting your high fertility."
"Yes, having a C-section now would be such a waste of the princess's exceptional physique and fertility."
"I suggest you only choose a C-section if you really can't have a vaginal delivery, and even then, you should have a C-section at full term."
"It's better for the baby to be born at full term. There are still two weeks left, just bear with it, everyone's..."
At that time, Qu Tong had already undergone examinations, and her attending physician told her that if conditions permitted, a cesarean section could be performed.
That was a female doctor in her fifties, specially sent by the Empress from among the imperial physicians.
The doctors who had just spoken were all elderly male doctors.
She hadn't slept well last night, and her temper was terrible. She yelled at them, "You can put up with it yourselves! You know nothing and just stand there talking without understanding the situation. Su Hua, get them all out of here!"
"What's wrong?" Si Yuting and a doctor appeared at the door, holding several reports and a set of hospital gowns.
Su Hua recounted the events in detail. After listening, Si Yuting's face turned cold, and his sharp gaze swept over the dozen or so renowned doctors present.
"The choice of production method is entirely up to my wife. You are only here as representatives to observe and exchange ideas; it is not your place to make the decision."
Si Yuting's words were very direct, causing the faces of the others to turn pale and then red. They were angry but dared not show it, and could only weakly explain, "We were just suggesting..."
"What advice? The doctor said my wife's health isn't good, and if this continues, she might get a fever, which could affect her delivery. Can't you hear that?"
Si Yuting lowered his eyebrows, his expression showing a hint of anger.
"Currently, there is only data showing that babies conceived naturally have higher physical and fertility values than babies conceived through IVF. There is no clear data showing that babies born at full term have higher physical and fertility values," the female doctor behind Si Yuting added.
Si Yuting's anger hadn't subsided. "Even if you're not in obstetrics and gynecology, have you forgotten the basic medical principle of putting people first? All you care about is high fertility rates, disregarding the safety and needs of pregnant women. Is this your professional ethics?"
Before the group could argue, Si Yuting gave the order: "Someone, take them out."
Compared to Qu Tong's "hurry up," Si Yuting politely used "please."
Then he looked at the other doctors who hadn't spoken before, "The rest, take them to the reception room. Ask me or the doctors any questions you may have. Don't bother the princess again."
That wasn't all. Si Yuting also sent a voice message to Si Chen on the spot, asking him to review the professional resumes of those people again and contact their hospitals to make them relearn professional ethics.
Those who were allowed to come this time were all well-known figures in the industry. This result was tantamount to a slap in the face for them, and they had no choice but to stand there and endure it.
When they arrived, they were all high-spirited and beaming, but when they left, their expressions were ashen, like they had eaten shit.
