Lin Jinghan was angered by the general's attitude and cursed, "You scumbag! Your wife must be unlucky to marry you!" Then she followed Sikong Zhan out.
Threatened by Sikong Zhan, the general was unwilling to give up his wife's life. He shouted at the two people's backs, "Can Princess Jingnan really save people?"
Lin Jinghan stopped, turned around, and said solemnly: "As long as everyone in the mansion is willing to cooperate, I will do my best."
"In that case, I will hand over my wife's life to Princess Jingnan, please!" The general is worthy of being a general. Once he makes a decision, he will never drag his feet. He personally took Lin Jinghan to the place where the general's wife gave birth.
Lin Jinghan walked in quickly. Sikong Zhan stayed outside and looked at Qi Guang, "General Qi, you seem to have forgotten to tell me something."
Qi Guang hesitated because he had agreed to Lin Jinghan's request in a hurry and wanted him to really entrust his wife's life to the Princess of King Jingnan.
Facing Sikong Zhan's special reminder, he knew he had no way out and ordered his servants: "Everyone, you must obey the command of Princess Jingnan. This is the order of this general!"
In order to eliminate Lin Jinghan's worries, Sikong Zhan stood beside Qi Guang with his hands behind his back. If anything unexpected happened, he would definitely take Qi Guang down immediately.
The room was filled with a crowd of maids and servants, as well as a midwife, the imperial physician from the palace, and the general's wife, who was lying on the bed, breathing more heavily than she was breathing in, and was already unconscious.
The imperial physician was making his last effort to revive the general's wife. The maids and servants beside him were standing there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do. Some of them had even started wiping away their tears.
Lin Jinghan walked over quickly, took the general's wife's hand, opened the medical space to examine her, and said to the person beside her:
"Who's in charge here? Those who can help, stay and do what they need to do. Those who can't help, get out."
"I'm in charge here." The general's wife's wet nurse stepped forward and answered in a low voice, and immediately directed the people in the room to bring water and hand out towels, each doing their own job.
The general's wife is now exhausted, the baby is in breech position, and the mother's cervix is not wide open, which is the main reason for the difficult labor. It is impossible to give birth naturally. The only feasible way now is a caesarean section.
However, in this case, there are three difficulties in performing a caesarean section:
Firstly, how would anyone here even know what surgery was? This would be a shocking act, and someone would probably rush over to stop her before she could even pick up the knife.
Secondly, if she really had to perform a cesarean section here, she wasn't sure if the people here would be able to help her. It would be difficult to complete the operation alone. But fortunately, she had just asked Huichuntang to invite Xiang Yuanqing here. She thought Xiang Yuanqing wouldn't be too pedantic and would accept her suggestion and help her complete the operation.
Third, no one can guarantee that the operation will be successful. If it fails, firstly, she will feel bad for not being able to save the person; secondly, the people in the general's mansion will not know the truth and, in grief, will definitely blame all the crimes on her, blaming her for stabbing the general's wife. It is not impossible that they will directly charge her with murder, which will be very troublesome.
She was not a saint, she would not show kindness without reason, and she would not sacrifice herself to save an unrelated person. So, she took out a pill, told someone to feed it to the general's wife, and walked towards the door.
The two imperial doctors in the room looked at Lin Jinghan's back in surprise. After Lin Jinghan took over, they stopped what they were doing.
Now that the general's wife is dying, they will be happy to let go if someone takes on this responsibility. When the time comes, the general will only blame Princess Jingnan and not them.
But the Princess of Jingnan actually left like that? Seeing that the person was beyond saving, she wanted to throw all the responsibility onto them?!
The two exchanged glances, and an imperial physician immediately followed them out: If Princess Jingnan dares to shirk responsibility and put all the blame on them, they will not agree!
As soon as Lin Jinghan opened the door, she saw Xiang Yuanqing already beside Sikong Zhan, and Medicine King was also beside him. She felt relieved, nodded to the two of them, and looked at Qi Guang and said:
"General, your wife is already unconscious. Even if we can wake her up, she won't have the strength to give birth. Furthermore, the baby is now facing downwards, so there's no chance of a successful birth. If you don't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician here."
Qi Guang's spirit of perseverance instantly dissipated, and he stumbled back two steps. He was supported by the housekeeper and did not fall down. He looked at the imperial physician beside him and saw him nod. He stared at Lin Jinghan with red eyes.
"Didn't Princess Jingnan swear that she could save people?"
"I can save him! I have one last way, but..." Lin Jinghan suddenly burst out with all the momentum in her body, looking at Qi Guang firmly,
"Since we are in a desperate situation, let's fight to the death! General, I'll see if you dare to let me try!"
Hearing that there was still hope, Qi Guang hurriedly asked, "What does Princess Jingnan want to do?"
"Cut open the general's wife's belly, take the baby out, and then sew the belly back up." Lin Jinghan tried her best to make her tone sound extremely normal, as if this was a very easy thing to do.
"What?!" Not only Qi Guang, but everyone present was shocked. The way they looked at Lin Jinghan changed, as if they were looking at a madman.
The imperial physician was the first to get angry:
"I've been practicing medicine for many years, and I've never heard of someone being able to survive after their stomach was cut open! Princess Jingnan, you're kidding!"
"I've done this before, and it worked, more than once!" Lin Jinghan glanced at the imperial physician, utterly disdainful of his ignorance, then turned to look at Qi Guang and shook her head.
"However, your wife has delayed for too long, and the situation is not optimistic. I cannot guarantee success, so I ask the general, do you dare to let me try?"
Xiang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, glanced at Sikong Zhan, and then looked at Lin Jinghan and said:
"Well, Jinghan girl, I believe what you said! I believe your method can save people! But, isn't it a bit too risky?"
"Right now, the General's wife and her unborn child are in imminent danger of death. If I don't save them, they will surely perish. If I try my best, perhaps both mother and child can be safe. The situation can't get any worse, so why not give it a try? Even if I can save one, it's still good!"
Save one? Qi Guang looked up at Lin Jinghan: He understood! Princess Jingnan is trying to save the child! An adult's stomach would definitely not survive if it was cut open, but if the child in the belly was successfully taken out, wouldn't it be possible for it to survive?
"Okay, I agree." Qi Guang clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and made a cruel decision - at least he could keep one child. If the lady knew that she could keep the child, she would be willing, right?
