"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Lord Zhang, what's going on? Why has Princess Chang Le been summoned to the court?" Yun Gan asked calmly.
Lord Zhang quickly gave a brief explanation of the matter.
It turns out that Qinniang went out to find Yingzi today and accidentally encountered a pregnant woman in difficult labor seeking medical help at He'an Hall. Coincidentally, Doctor Zhou was on duty, and the other doctors were also helpless, so she had to go to another clinic.
The new mother had no choice but to leave He'an Hall. She almost fainted, but Qinniang, who happened to be passing by, caught her and prepared to take her to find another clinic.
Qinniang herself had suffered this pain, and in order to comfort the woman in labor, she shared her own experience, hoping to soothe her heart.
Zhou Lei, who had just returned to the clinic, overheard this and, in a fit of anger, sent her to the yamen (government office).
Zhou Lei couldn't just ignore the pregnant woman, so he had his apprentice take her to the clinic for treatment.
Su Ruojin looked coldly at Lord Zhang, "So Yunqi only needs to listen to one side of the story to judge a case."
Yun Gan looked at Su Ruojin gently, "Princess, please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation."
The cold sweat on Lord Zhang's forehead increased, and he knelt down again. "Your Highness, I only heard it from Doctor Zhou. Doctor Zhou is a renowned physician in Yuncheng. How could anything he says about his medical skills be false?"
Zhou Lei raised his head slightly, his voice stern, "Your Highness, since ancient times no one has ever given birth by cesarean section. No matter what, I, a humble citizen, insist on this. We must not let these false rumors harm people's lives."
Yun Gan turned to look at Su Ruojin, "Princess, look..."
"If I can prove that I can have a cesarean section, what should Dr. Zhou do then?"
Zhou Lei sneered, "If the mother dies and the child lives, who wouldn't know how to do that?"
Sometimes, when a woman experiences a difficult labor, and things become unbearable, some people will choose to remove the baby from the mother's body by cutting open her abdomen and then abandoning her to her fate.
With current medical conditions, if a pregnant woman's abdomen is haphazardly cut open without any stitches or prevention of infection, she will almost certainly die. That's why Zhou Lei dared to say that.
Moreover, there are no women experiencing difficult childbirth right now, so how can Su Ruojin prove that she can do it?
Su Ruojin looked at Yun Gan, "Your Highness, would it be convenient to ask a palace matron to examine Qin Niang, to see the wound on her abdomen, and whether she has recently given birth?"
There are experienced matrons in the palace who are specifically responsible for taking care of noblewomen during pregnancy and childbirth. If you let these matrons take a look at Qinniang, you will naturally have the answer.
This was not a difficult task for Yun Gan, who nodded and said, "Of course I can do it."
He took out a waist token from his pocket and handed it to the guard beside him, saying, "Go to the palace immediately and fetch a matron."
"Yes." The guard took the waist token and quickly left the courtroom.
It would take time for the guests to return, so Lord Zhang quickly had tea served to the three distinguished guests.
As for Zhou Lei, although he was known as a divine doctor and had a high reputation among the people, he could only stand compared to the princes and princesses at this moment.
"I've long heard that Princess Chang Le is skilled in medicine. It would be a great honor to witness her medical skills firsthand." Yun Gan took a sip of tea and began chatting with Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin smiled faintly, "Your Highness flatters me. I only know a little bit about this."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lei snorted but said nothing.
A young girl with some medical skills, spouting nonsense based on her status as a princess. If he can prove that Su Ruojin is talking nonsense this time, with the eldest prince and so many people as witnesses, his reputation will naturally rise to another level.
"Help! Doctor Zhou, please save me!"
Just then, urgent shouts came from outside the courtroom.
