Chapter 415 Safely Giving Birth to a Daughter
Li Wenpo watched Wang Zhaodi's technique, and after just a moment, the blood flow seemed to have really shown signs of slowing down.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. This wild girl from the country actually had some skills!
Judging from the situation, the wife and the child can most likely be saved!
Wouldn't all the actions and arrangements she had made before be exposed?
The look in the national defense general's eyes... looks like he can skin someone alive!
She had originally thought of countless excuses to shirk responsibility, but now, it's all over!
While everyone in the room was focusing their attention on the woman in labor and the girl who suddenly appeared, midwife Li quietly moved back, with fine beads of cold sweat oozing from her forehead.
We must go! Go now!
She crouched down like a frightened mouse, rubbed against the door, and gently opened it a crack.
Song Ruyan was anxiously waiting outside. When she saw the door open, she immediately came over and grabbed her arm.
"Why did you come out? How is the lady?"
Li Wenpo was startled. She forced herself to remain calm and slapped her hand away, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Don't worry, young lady. Madam is blessed with good fortune. The bleeding has stopped a lot. It's...it's that we don't have enough hot water and clean towels. I have to go and get the servants."
"I'll go!" Song Ruyan said immediately, raising her foot to walk out.
"Hey, you're just a girl, how could you understand these backyard urging tricks? I'll go, I'll go!"
Midwife Li hurriedly stopped her and ran out of the yard as she spoke. Her speed did not seem like that of an elderly midwife at all.
Doctor Qian frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
He grabbed Song Ruyan, who was about to chase after her, lowered his voice, and pointed his eyes in the direction where Li Wenpo disappeared: "Follow her, don't let her get away."
Song Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, nodded, and immediately followed quietly.
In the delivery room, the atmosphere was still tense and seemed frozen.
The smell of blood mixed with the smell of herbs was so strong that it was nauseating.
"Ma'am! Push harder! Push harder!"
Chu Ruohan bit her lower lip tightly, her temples soaked with sweat, and she looked like she had been pulled out of the water.
Gu Junze held her hand tightly, the veins on the back of her hand were exposed, and her knuckles turned white from the force.
"Wow——" A loud and vital cry.
Wang Zhaodi showed a relieved smile on her face and carefully picked up a little baby wrapped in blood.
"Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General! It's a rich young lady, and she's grown up so strong!"
Gu Junze's heart was half relieved, but his eyes instantly froze on Chu Ruohan's pale and motionless face.
His voice was hoarse, filled with undisguised panic: "Look at the lady! Why isn't she moving?!"
Wang Zhaodi quickly handed the child to the maid next to her and bent over to carefully check Chu Ruohan's condition.
After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Junze, "Don't worry, General. Madam had a bloody discharge during childbirth and has been tossing and turning for so long. She's just too tired and has fallen asleep due to exhaustion. Just let her rest."
Gu Junze was so worried, "Doctor Qian!"
Doctor Qian walked in immediately upon hearing the sound. Without caring about anything else, he quickly stepped forward, placed his fingers on Chu Ruohan's wrist pulse, and examined her carefully.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand, met Gu Junze's anxious gaze, and nodded.
"Miss Wang is right. Although Madam's pulse is weak, it has stabilized. She has indeed fainted from exhaustion."
Gu Junze's tense body relaxed slightly, but the worry between his brows did not disappear.
Chu's mother and Chu Yueshu were also relieved, as long as everything was fine...
Doctor Qian continued, "It's just that Madam has sustained some damage during this childbirth, so she needs careful nursing. I'll prescribe a prescription to strengthen her body and replenish her vital energy. Madam, take it immediately when you wake up."
"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Qian." Gu Junze said in a deep voice, deep fatigue revealed in his voice.
Doctor Qian nodded, turned around and went out to prepare the herbs.
The room finally quieted down, leaving only Chu Ruohan's weak breathing and Gu Junze's heavy watch.
He just sat by the bed, motionless, his eyes fixed on Chu Ruohan's face, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into his bones and blood.
From the dim light of early morning, to the setting sun in the afternoon, to the sunset dyeing the sky red, and finally the night falls quietly.
The candles in the room were lit, and the dancing light illuminated his handsome profile.
He did not move a step, nor did he close his eyes for a moment.
Until late at night, the candlelight crackled softly, and the person on the bed finally let out an almost inaudible moan, his long eyelashes trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Han'er!"
Gu Junze's tense nerves finally relaxed. His voice was a little hoarse and his eyes were full of joy.
Chu Ruohan moved her lips slightly, her voice as light as a mosquito: "Jun Ze..."
"I'm here, I'm always here." Gu Junze held her hand tightly and leaned over to give her a light kiss on the forehead.
"How do you feel?"
Chu Ruohan blinked weakly and whispered, "So thirsty..."
Gu Junze immediately turned around, poured a cup of warm water from the bedside table, carefully supported her back, and brought the cup to her lips.
"Drink slowly." His movements were extremely gentle, for fear of hurting her.
Chu Ruohan took a sip and felt so weak that she didn't even have the strength to lift her hands.
After drinking the water, her throat finally felt better.
"Child...how is the child?" Her voice was still weak, but her eyes revealed a mother's unique concern.
Just as Gu Junze was about to answer, Doctor Qian knocked twice on the door and walked in, holding a bowl of steaming medicine.
"Madam, are you awake?" Doctor Qian showed a happy expression and walked quickly to the bedside. "Then you can drink the medicine first."
He put the medicine bowl aside and took Chu Ruohan's pulse first, frowning slightly.
"Madam's pulse is still a little weak. You must drink this medicine while it is hot." Doctor Qian said as he handed the medicine bowl to Gu Junze.
Gu Junze took the medicine bowl, helped Chu Ruohan up again, and carefully fed her the medicine.
Although Chu Ruohan didn't like the bitter taste of the medicine, she still obediently drank it one sip at a time.
After taking the medicine, Doctor Qian took the patient's pulse again and showed a look of satisfaction.
However, when he looked at Gu Junze, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gu Junze narrowed his eyes, but Chu Ruohan gently held his hand.
"Go and do what you need first. I'm fine, don't worry." Although Chu Ruohan was weak, there was determination in her voice.
Gu Junze hesitated and turned his gaze to Chu's mother.
Mother Chu understood and quickly said, "Yes, I'm watching here. If you have anything to do, go and do it."
Gu Junze looked down at Chu Ruohan's pale face and finally made up his mind: "Come back soon."
After saying that, he gently put Chu Ruohan's hand back on the quilt, stood up and left the room, followed closely by Doctor Qian.
