Although Li Shimin knew perfectly well that neither Li Jue nor Sun Simiao were gynecologists, he had no other choice but to try having them removed.
Li Jue arrived quickly because his Prince Qin's residence was too close to the Taiji Palace; if he went through the Xuanwu Gate, it would be at most a mile away.
Sun Simiao was a bit slower, since he was planning to build a medical university outside the city, which required crossing the entire Zhuque Avenue.
But this was the first time either of them had encountered such a situation, and neither of them wanted to go inside.
"Master Sun, you must think of a way for me! I must save this child!"
Sun Simiao looked at the anxious Li Shimin, his face also filled with helplessness.
Even if Li Shimin hadn't asked him for help, he would have saved him if he needed to.
This involves two lives!
But... he's not a midwife, how can he save her?
"Junior brother, what do you think about this..."
Seeing that Sun Simiao had passed the buck to him, Li Jue could only sigh helplessly.
"Senior brother, I know a way that has a certain probability of saving both the big and small babies!"
"What method?"
"Cesarean section!"
"Cesarean section?"
Li Shimin gasped upon hearing this. Although he didn't know what a cesarean section meant, he knew all too well what it meant. Over the years, he had performed cesarean sections on hundreds, if not thousands, of people on the battlefield. Moreover, he had personally witnessed countless instances of intestines protruding during battles.
"Li Jue, is there really no other way?"
Li Jue shook his head upon hearing this.
"Grandpa, this is the only way right now!"
Sun Simiao pondered for a moment upon hearing this and then spoke.
"Prepare for a C-section..."
"Junior brother, you'll be my assistant in a bit!"
"ah?"
Li Jue nearly fainted upon hearing this.
"Senior brother, don't joke with me, I'm squeamish about blood..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately kicked him.
"roll!"
"If you're afraid of blood, then there's no one in the world who isn't!"
"Hurry up and wash your hands and change your clothes!"
Li Shimin also held Li Jue's hand tightly and said.
"Grandson, your grandfather has never asked you for anything all these years, but I beg you, you must save this child!"
Li Jue looked at Li Er, whose face was full of anxiety, and felt very complicated.
Hold the child...
The adults are in danger?
This old man is so selfish! Even at this point, he's still thinking about proving his fertility!
Although Li Jue was very disdainful, he still patted Li Er's arm.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will do my best..."
"Oh, right, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Sister Xu is so young, and as a junior, if I went in to perform surgery, I might inevitably see things I shouldn't have..."
Just as Li Jue was saying this, Li Er kicked him into the palace.
"At a time like this, you're still spouting nonsense to me!"
"Save people! Save people! Save people!"
"If you can't bring him back to me, I'll beat your ass to a pulp!"
Li Er threatened Li Jue with a show of bravado, then paced around in circles like an ant on a hot pan.
Half an hour later, a loud cry of a baby was heard, and Li Er, overwhelmed with emotion, knelt down with a thud.
"Thank God!"
"Thank God for giving me the chance to be a father again, sob sob sob..."
Li Er was deeply moved. He had not experienced the joy of fatherhood for a long time since the tenth year of the Zhenguan era.
Although he doesn't yet know whether the newborn child is a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter to him anymore. Even if it's just a princess, it's enough to prove that his masculine prowess remains and that he continues to be blessed by heaven.
A short while later, the midwife came out carrying a baby.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on the birth of your little princess!"
"A princess?"
"Being a princess is great too, hehehe!"
Li Er took the child with a silly grin on his face, looking at the child's wrinkled little face, his face was full of joy.
But he didn't dare hold the baby for too long. He quickly handed the baby to the midwife and then asked about the situation inside.
"How is my beloved concubine?"
"Your Majesty, mother and child are safe!"
"The Crown Prince and the Immortal Sun are stitching up Consort Xu..."
"Oh, that's good!"
A while later, Li Jue walked out of the main hall covered in blood, his face etched with exhaustion.
Li Shimin had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so naturally he didn't mind this little bit of blood.
"Grandson, how is Xu Hui?"
"Reporting to Grandpa, Sister Xu is doing well, but we need to observe her for a few days to see if she develops any symptoms of inflammation..."
"By the way, Grandpa, Sister Xu risked her life to have your child this time, you can't let her down!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin quickly replied.
"We will not let you down!"
"I will now bestow upon him the title of Zhaoyi!"
"Consort Zhaoyi?"
Li Jue curled his lip in disdain, thinking to himself, "Does the Tang Dynasty really need a 'Zhaoyi'?"
In a past life, there was Consort Wu, who almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty. In this life, there's Consort Xu, who knows how much trouble she'll cause the Tang Dynasty.
"Too low!"
"We should at least bestow titles upon four imperial concubines!"
"Oh, by the way, the position of Consort Xian in your harem is still vacant, isn't it? Let Sister Xu be Consort Xian Xu and manage the harem for you!"
"It just so happens that Sister Xu is an upright person. When Li Yifu asked her about things, she always stood far away, for fear of arousing suspicion."
"With her helping you manage the harem, I, as the Crown Prince, can feel a little more at ease!"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, "How could this grandson say such treasonous words so innocently?"
