309 Difficult labor, save the adult or the child
Feng Qingchen rubbed his temples. Seeing that both parties had actually started fighting, he quickly shouted, "Stop it."
The trouble with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has not been resolved yet, and she doesn't want to cause trouble with the Duke of Ningguo's Mansion again. It seems that her ability to cause trouble is not weak...
The guard paused, and the Prince of Ningguo took advantage of the opportunity and immediately stepped forward and bowed to Feng Qingchen: "Miss Feng, I am rude."
"Young Master." Feng Qingchen got off the carriage and returned the greeting gracefully.
The Prince of Ningguo was only thinking about his lovely wife at home, so he didn't notice the injuries on Feng Qingchen's body. When he saw Feng Qingchen, he hurriedly said, "Miss Feng, my wife is having a difficult delivery, and the midwife is helpless. Her life is hanging by a thread. The wife of the Marquis of Jinyang is my wife's sister. She said that Miss Feng, you are a great doctor. If there is anyone in this world who can save my wife, it must be you, Miss Feng. I would like to ask you to save my wife's life."
Because I was in a hurry, my words were not coherent, but fortunately I made things clear.
"Difficult labor? I'm afraid I can't help you with that. I'm not a midwife." Feng Qingchen stroked her forehead. Did she look like an obstetrician and gynecologist? Did the word "obstetrician and gynecologist" appear on her face?
It would be a good thing if she couldn't be a midwife, and everyone has their own specialties. She is good at surgery, surgery!
When the Prince of Ningguo heard this, he thought Feng Qingchen was unwilling, and became even more anxious: "Doctor Feng, please save my wife, I will kneel down for you."
After saying this, he lowered his body and was about to kneel down.
"Absolutely not." Feng Qingchen quickly dodged and winked at the guard beside him. The man was also smart and dragged the man up.
You must be kidding. After receiving the kneeling from the Ningguo prince today, she will definitely be in trouble in the future. It would be good if his wife survived, but if she died, she would definitely be blamed, not to mention that she has not yet agreed to save her.
At this moment, Feng Qingchen finally understood why the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau, all of whom had great medical skills, were unwilling to step forward. The first bird to stick its head out will be shot at!
Damn, treating people from noble families is a job that risks your life. If you cure them, it is your responsibility, but if you fail to do so, you will lose your head.
Besides, she was still a criminal. Even if she was willing to help the Prince of Ningguo to save his wife, she would still have to pass the test of the Imperial Guards.
As Feng Qingchen expected, the Imperial Guards disagreed and only said that the emperor wanted Feng Qingchen to reflect on his mistakes for a month and not go out during this month.
When Feng Qingchen heard the commander of the Imperial Guard's stern refusal, instead of feeling relieved, he felt very upset.
She wanted to save people, but she really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the powerful. She had not seen the condition of the Ningguo Duke's wife, and she was not good at gynecology, so she might not be able to help if she went. Besides, saving people was something that would offend people if she didn't do it well.
If she went and something happened to the Ningguo Prince's wife, the Ningguo Prince would probably hate her.
Alas... being a doctor is difficult, and being a doctor who treats the powerful and wealthy is even more difficult.
Although this was not considered as watching someone die without helping, Feng Qingchen still felt uncomfortable and said to the Prince of Ningguo with guilt, "My Lord, I am really sorry. Qingchen is also a criminal at this moment. I am powerless. Please ask my Lord to find someone else."
She knew that Dongling had many skilled doctors, but it was inconvenient for male doctors to treat difficult labors. Even if the doctor saved the woman, the woman would not be able to survive in the future.
"Miss Feng, I beg you, if you can't save the child, you just need to save my wife, Miss Feng, I can't live without her..." The Prince of Ningguo's eyes turned red and tears fell.
Such a strong man could shed tears easily. Not to mention Feng Qingchen, even the big men in the Imperial Guards felt their eyes sore.
Everyone in the imperial city knows that the couple has a good relationship. Not to mention a noble family like the Duke's Mansion, even ordinary minor officials have many wives and concubines. But the Ningguo Prince only stays with his wife. Even though his wife has not been pregnant after five years of marriage, the Ningguo Prince never abandons her.
Feng Qingchen was struggling internally, but her ethics as a doctor prevented her from standing idly by. If she was not careful, two lives could be lost.
Her hands were stained with blood and she killed people without blinking an eye, but she was not a person who regarded human life as grass. She only killed those who deserved to be killed, and only when facing patients did she have the compassion of a doctor.
Seeing Feng Qingchen's emotion, the Prince of Ningguo pleaded again: "Miss Feng, I beg you, I just want my wife to be alive. As long as you can save her, I will do anything you ask me to do."
I wish to find someone who shares my heart and who will stay with me till we grow old.
The wife of the Prince of Ningguo is a blessed woman who likes to see others happy.
"Okay. I'll go." Feng Qingchen nodded vigorously, ignoring the guards' obstruction, he grabbed a horse and jumped on it: "Please rest assured, my lord, I, Feng Qingchen, will never escape. As long as the wife of the Duke of Ning is fine, I will return home immediately. The emperor wants me to return home and reflect on my mistakes for a month, which will start from tomorrow. At this time, I have not entered the Feng Mansion, so it does not count as violating the emperor's will."
Seeing this, the commander of the imperial guards stopped trying to stop her: "We will escort Miss Feng there. If the emperor knew that Miss Feng delayed entering the palace to save someone, he would not blame her."
Duke Ningguo still has some feelings in front of the emperor, and they dare not offend the son of Duke Ningguo to death. If the emperor wants to blame them, that is Duke Ningguo's business.
"Thank you." Feng Qingchen did not act pretentiously. He raised the whip and urged the horse forward in the dark.
The earlier you arrive, the better your chances of success. Since you have decided to get involved in this matter, you must try your best to do your best.
The Prince of Ningguo finally reacted and hurriedly thanked the imperial guards. He immediately mounted his horse and followed Feng Qingchen towards the Ningguo Mansion.
The lights in the Ningguo Mansion were bright. As soon as Feng Qingchen entered the mansion, she saw that the wife of the Marquis of Jinyang was also there. Seeing Feng Qingchen coming, the wife of the Marquis of Jinyang seemed to have found her backbone: "Qingchen, you are finally here. Now Xinrou can be saved."
"How is the Crown Prince's wife?" Feng Qingchen didn't have time to greet the wife of Marquis Jinyang. He motioned for her to take him to the delivery room and asked about the patient's condition as they walked.
"It's very bad. The Crown Prince's wife is very weak, and she is pregnant with twins. Her amniotic fluid is almost dry, and she has no strength left, but she can't give birth to the babies. She has been in pain for a whole day and night." Giving birth is a trip to the gates of hell for a woman. The wife of Marquis Jinyang's body was not recovered for many years because of the injuries she suffered during childbirth.
Feng Qingchen nodded: "Did you have any hemorrhage? How is the baby in your belly?"
"There is no hemorrhage and the baby is still breathing." But the situation is not too optimistic.
"I understand. Ask the servants to prepare clean water and strong liquor, and give me a set of clean clothes. I need to change." She rode a horse and her clothes were very dirty. The wife of the prince might need a caesarean section...
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." It was then that Feng Qingchen realized that there was a noblewoman in her forties beside the wife of Marquis Jinyang. Judging from her attire, she should be the wife of Duke Ningguo. Feng Qingchen hurriedly stopped and said, "Madam Duke, I'm sorry."
"Miss Feng, you are too polite. We are sorry to disturb you by inviting you here so late at night." The Duke's wife was a very kind woman, and Feng Qingchen felt a good impression of her.
Being able to raise a lovesick man like the Prince of Ningguo, the wife of the Duke of Ningguo must be no bad person.
A good wife in one generation means good sons in three generations. Marrying a good wife is more important than anything else. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was ruined because the lady of the house was uneducated.
"Madam, you are too polite. Saving people is more important. Please forgive me for being rude." Feng Qingchen kept a stern face. She nodded to the Duke's wife and strode to change clothes with the maid. When Feng Qingchen came out again, she saw that she had rolled up her sleeves, torn off the hem of her skirt, and tied her hair up.
"This makes things more convenient." Feng Qingchen explained casually and rushed into the delivery room.
"Madam, please push harder, push harder."
"Madam, you must not fall asleep. The young master hasn't come out yet. Please hold on a little longer."
The midwife had a very loud voice, and the woman's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, which could not be heard at all. Feng Qingchen knew without even looking that the woman's condition was very bad.
The delivery room was packed with midwives and maids. It was airtight, stuffy and hot. Add to that the bloody smell and the smell was not much better than a prison cell.
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Feng Qingchen's face. This was a doctor's instinct.
"Get out of the way." Feng Qingchen stretched out her hand to push the person away. The midwife and the maid refused to let her go at first, but fortunately the maidservant beside the Duke's wife came in and delivered the words of the Duke's wife: "This is Miss Feng, the doctor invited by the prince himself. You all should listen to Miss Feng's arrangements."
The midwife and the maid nodded quickly. The Crown Prince's wife was completely relying on ginseng to survive. It would be the best thing if someone took over at this time. Someone would take the blame.
How could Feng Qingchen not know what the midwife was thinking, but she was too lazy to care. After checking her pupils and heartbeat, Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief. She was still breathing, which was a good thing.
Although Feng Qingchen is not a gynecologist, she still knows the basic knowledge of gynecology. After sending the midwife away, Feng Qingchen checked the birth canal.
Although her ten fingers were fully open, the wife of the Crown Prince was petite, and the baby was too big for her to give birth. The most frustrating thing was that there were two children in her belly.
Huh... Feng Qingchen looked at the Crown Prince's wife's unusually big belly and knew in his heart that the Crown Prince's wife had oversupplemented herself. She ate too well before giving birth, and all the nutrients had been absorbed by the child, causing the child to be too big to be born.
A fetus that is too large is extremely dangerous for the mother, not to mention that the mother herself is fragile. At this time, there is no other choice but to perform a cesarean section. However, the Crown Prince's wife looks weak, and I don't know if the mother can bear it.
"You all get out." Feng Qingchen waved away all the midwives and maids, leaving only the Duke's wife's maid: "Go ask your wife, are you saving the adult or the child?"
The amniotic fluid was almost drained out, and it would be too difficult to save both the adult and the child, but she was able to save one.
Make choices, make choices.
Doctors are not omnipotent.
"Yes." The maid's face was calm and steady.
In this situation, everyone understands that it would be good enough to be able to keep one.
