Chapter 307 Difficult Birth
Su Rui was stunned.
When she saw the old woman coming, she knew that something had happened to Yue Heyun, but she didn't expect that she was about to give birth.
Although Yue Heyun was about to give birth, the midwife estimated that it would take about ten days. The midwife was the most capable of the three midwives before Su Rui. When she was pregnant with twins, the midwife said it was impossible to conceive. But for single babies, the midwife's estimate would never be off by more than three days.
That's why she agreed to let Yue Heyun come along this time.
Now that there is a difference of more than ten days, something must have happened.
Su Rui turned to look at Rong Huan who walked out of the hall.
Rong Huan looked bewildered, but her eyes were clear as she asked, "What happened?"
Giving birth is like walking on the edge of hell, not to mention an accident. Su Rui, who has experienced it before, can empathize with her. She has no time to argue with Rong Huan at this moment.
"Miss Yue is about to give birth. I brought her here with me. I have to take good care of her. I will be leaving for the time being. I hope the princess will forgive me."
After saying this, regardless of whether Rong Huan was willing to see this, Su Rui lifted her skirt and walked out quickly.
He jogged all the way and when he reached the gate, he heard heart-wrenching cries of pain from inside the house. Pei Yan stood inside the house, looking blankly as if he had lost his soul.
Su Rui rushed in and a fishy smell hit her nose.
Yue Heyun was lying on the bed with a simple coat on top, her expression was grim and painful, the hem of her skirt was completely soaked and stained with blood.
This is the amniotic fluid breaking and bleeding.
"Concubine! Concubine, please save my young lady!" Xiaohui, who had been guarding her, fell to her knees and burst into tears, kowtowed to Su Rui repeatedly.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly first, otherwise you will harm your young lady."
Su Rui is neither a doctor nor a midwife, so she cannot diagnose Yue Heyun's condition by taking her pulse or touching her belly. She can only find out the situation clearly and then think of a solution.
Therefore, Xiaohui, who had been watching over him, had to explain things calmly.
This matter concerned the life and death of her young lady and the little master in her belly. Xiao Hui suppressed her panic and calmed herself down, sobbing, "It was Pei Yan. He pushed the young lady. The young lady's stomach...hit the corner of the table, and the bleeding immediately stopped."
"No! No!" Pei Yan shook his head fiercely in denial. He said in panic and guilt, "I didn't mean it. I just wanted to find out who the adulterer was. She refused, so I couldn't help myself. I didn't expect that..."
"Get out!" Su Rui didn't want to listen to Pei Yan's defense anymore.
"I won't leave! I'll stay with her. She is my..."
"Chasing the Moon!"
Su Rui shouted, and Zhuiyue immediately rushed in with three secret guards.
Pei Yan resisted, but not only was he no match for four people, he was completely panicked and had no idea what to do. After just a few moves, he was pinned down by Zhuiyue and the others and taken out. He could only scream.
But no one had time to listen to his screams.
Yue Heyun's amniotic fluid ruptured due to a severe impact on her stomach, forcing her to give birth urgently.
Although Su Rui was not a midwife, she had given birth to a child and had been with three midwives for nearly a month, so she knew a little bit about it. She knew that Yue Heyun's child might not have entered the pelvis yet and its head had not turned. The amniotic fluid kept flowing out. Once the amniotic fluid was gone, the child would suffocate to death inside and Yue Heyun's life would be in danger.
All the people from Fozhuang have gone to Prince Yong's Mansion, and there is no one living around Fahua Temple. It is too late to send them back to Shengjingdu at full speed, not to mention that Yue Heyun cannot move at the moment.
I can only... deliver the baby.
Time waits for no one, and the only one with experience is Su Rui. Xiaoru has accompanied her during childbirth and knows what to prepare, so Su Rui made the decision immediately.
"Xiao Ru, take Xiao Hui to Fahua Temple to prepare hot water and other necessary supplies. Hurry!"
Not daring to delay, Xiaoru grabbed Xiaohui from the ground and ran out.
Su Rui took off a strip of cloth from her dress, made a loop to tie up her sleeves, walked to the bed, and was about to go up when Yue Heyun, who had just experienced another round of contractions, reached out and grabbed her wrist, her eyes full of panic, as if silently asking, "Am I going to die?"
The current situation is very dangerous.
But Su Rui showed a confident smile and said confidently, "Don't overthink it. I've given birth to two children, so I'm considered a midwife. You're about to give birth, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier. It's just one. As long as you cooperate, you can give birth soon. Don't scare yourself."
Su Rui's words always carried a sense of power. Even though Yue Heyun felt that her body was rapidly weakening, she still chose to believe Su Rui and nodded solemnly as she let go of her hand.
Su Rui climbed onto the bed and lifted up Yue Heyun's skirt, revealing that her plain white panties had turned bright red.
Xiaoru brought hot water, scissors, and a handkerchief. There was no wine in the temple, so Su Rui asked them to light a candle, put the scissors on the candle to burn it, and then cut open Yue Heyun's panties.
There was blood everywhere, and Xiaohui, who brought the things in, couldn't help but feel her stomach churning. However, Su Rui's expression didn't change at all. She used a handkerchief soaked in hot water to wipe Yue Heyun.
As I wiped it, fluid kept flowing out. I had to change the water three times before I could barely see the cervix.
It was open, but I couldn't see anything.
Without hesitation, Su Rui said to Yue Heyun, who had just drunk the sugar water, "When it hurts, push down like you're going to the toilet. Hold your breath and don't shout."
Yue Heyun pursed her lips and nodded slightly. After taking a few quick breaths, the pain came. Yue Heyun listened carefully to Su Rui's words, gritted her teeth, held her breath, and put all her strength downwards.
The pain almost tore her whole body apart. She clutched the outer shirt under her body tightly with both hands. Her nails split and blood flowed out, but she felt no pain at all.
After some effort, Yue Heyun was like being pulled out of the water, sweating profusely. She was like a fish on the shore, opening her mouth to breathe continuously but feeling like she couldn't breathe out much.
Looking at Su Rui at the palace entrance, his expression was solemn.
Yue Heyun tried so hard just now but didn't see anything at all.
This shows that the child has not turned over, and it is possible that... the buttocks are facing down.
If this is the case, the baby will never be born, and the only outcome will be one corpse and two lives.
"Concubine, is the baby out?" Yue Heyun looked at Su Rui expectantly and asked.
Su Rui looked up and smiled, "How can it be so fast? It will take at least three or four times to give birth in one push. Take a breath and push again later."
Yue Heyun nodded, and even though it was difficult to breathe, she still managed to swallow the sugar water mouthful by mouthful.
The contractions came again, Yue Heyun put all her strength into pushing, and Su Rui also followed the midwife's example and reached down to smooth down Yue Heyun's belly, staring at the opening of the cervix without blinking.
But this time, there was still nothing.
I didn't give up and tried for the third time, but it was the same thing. The amniotic fluid and blood kept flowing out. Later on, there was less amniotic fluid and more blood.
Even if you don't want to, the facts are already before you.
Yue Heyun had a difficult delivery.
