Chapter 112: Chapter 114: The Truth Behind the Drowning Incident Back Then Chapter 112: Chapter 114: The Truth Behind the Drowning Incident Back Then The horse carriage and Dongfang Li’s horse nearly collided, as Dongfang Li reined in his horse.
A cry of alarm came from the carriage.
“Not good, Lady is about to give birth.”
It turned out that there was a pregnant woman on the carriage, and by coincidence, she was almost due. Due to special circumstances, she needed to rush to Chu City to find a renowned doctor to deliver her baby, but unexpectedly encountered Dongfang Li’s horse early in the morning on the main road.
Just now, the pregnant woman in the carriage got a fright and was actually going into premature labor.
Dongfang Li’s expression wasn’t good.
“Such bad luck, encountering such an unfortunate event this early in the morning. Why are you standing around? Hurry and send her to the city.”
From the carriage, an old lady poked her head out. The old lady was well-dressed, not looking like someone from an ordinary household.
Her face was full of anxiety.
“From the looks of it, I’m afraid she won’t make it to the city. Could you kind-hearted people come up and help?”
The voice of the woman in labor from inside the carriage sounded very pained. Princess Mingxia and Feng Bailing had not expected to encounter such a situation, especially Princess Mingxia, who was still a maiden; where had she ever seen childbirth?
But now, there were no other people around. It was just her and Feng Bailing, and Feng Bailing pulled her onto the carriage.
They found the carriage quite spacious, but when they saw the pregnant woman, both were stunned. The pregnant woman weighed no less than two hundred pounds, and she looked to be over thirty years old as well. Even in modern times, she would be absolutely considered a high-risk pregnant woman.
Feng Bailing furrowed her eyebrows.
“Your Lady is about to give birth, and you didn’t prepare a midwife in advance?”
The old lady said with a mournful face.
“I am the midwife, but Lady’s pregnancy has been unfavorable, and I dare not proceed.”
Feng Bailing took a deep breath and looked at the pregnant woman again.
“Stop the carriage to the side, midwife bring people to boil hot water.”
After the amniotic fluid broke, the pregnant woman’s contractions became even more severe. She was in unbearable pain, and her breathing became more and more labored.
“We need to use anesthetic powder to ease her pain, it’s just the specifics of where to apply it…”
Feng Bailing reached out and touched the pregnant woman’s lower back. The pregnant woman’s excessive body fat meant that Feng Bailing had to use her seventh sense to finally locate the gaps between the first, second, and third vertebral spines. She inserted three needles that were soaked in anesthetics.
The anesthetic worked faster than the anesthetic powder, and after being anesthetized, the pregnant woman’s consciousness grew blurry.
“You, don’t just stand there, do you know how to perform a cesarean section?”
The carriage was stifling hot. Feng Bailing signaled Princess Mingxia to wipe her sweat while calling Dongfang Li for help.
She had to use her seventh sense to observe the changes in the woman’s body. Because the woman in labor was overweight, her own knife did not have enough strength. Dongfang Li was a man, stronger, so it was safer for him to take lead with the incision.
“You want me to help with her delivery?”
Dongfang Li’s face turned green—he, the Seventh Prince!
The next moment, Feng Bailing grabbed Dongfang Li by the collar.
“If I tell you to move, you move. Are you even a man? She has diabetes and high blood pressure, we must deliver the baby as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becomes. You caused this, if you don’t operate, she’ll die along with the child. Can you afford that?”
Dongfang Li had never been scolded in his life.
Feng Bailing pushed him towards the pregnant woman and handed him a sterilized surgical knife.
“I tell you where to cut, you cut there. Keep the knife steady. Did you not eat, put some strength into it!”
Feng Bailing scolded Dongfang Li while directing his incisions.
Princess Mingxia, on the side, was initially terrified, but later on, admiration shone in her eyes.
This girl, she, was so cool.
The typically arrogant Dongfang Li in front of her was just like an obedient grandson. She said one thing, he followed suit.
Then a loud cry was heard.
“It’s born! It’s a boy!”
Dongfang Li was covered in sweat. Seeing the newborn life, Feng Bailing also revealed a slight smile.
That smile dazzled Dongfang Li for a moment.
His heart raced wildly.
He must marry her as his consort!
But before he could ask for Feng Bailing’s name, his vision turned black, and he lost consciousness.
Taking advantage of his unawareness, Feng Bailing gave him an anesthetic needle, enough to put him to sleep for a whole day.
Feng Bailing pulled Princess Mingxia down from the carriage and dumped Dongfang Li to one side; his Hidden Guards would soon pick him up.
The Coachman and midwife saw their Lady deliver successfully and were overjoyed.
The midwife hurried forward to kowtow to Feng Bailing.
“Miss, thank you for saving our Lady. May I ask for your esteemed name? Another day I would like to have our Lord and Lady come to thank you in person.”
Feng Bailing thought for a moment and replied.
“I am a doctor from Xinglin Spring in the city; there’s no need for thanks, saving lives is precisely what we physicians should do. If your Lady feels unwell again, you can find Lu Ying from Xinglin Spring.”
After Feng Bailing finished, she saw Princess Mingxia looking at her with eager eyes.
She could tell that Feng Bailing’s medical skills were extremely sophisticated; if this pregnant woman had been taken to the city, it’s likely that no doctor would dare to treat her.
She mustered her courage and made signs with her hands at Feng Bailing.
“Do you want me to treat you?”
Feng Bailing feigned surprise.
Princess Mingxia nodded, indicating to Feng Bailing that she wasn’t born mute, but became mute after an incident.
Doctors in Great Chu hadn’t been able to treat her; she wanted to be able to speak, therefore she was asking Feng Bailing to save her.
“Well, you should say how you became mute?”
Feng Bailing asked in return.
Princess Mingxia hesitated, then hesitantly indicated that she became mute after drowning and damaging her throat.
