"Ah …" A shrill scream came from the bedroom in the west wing that had been temporarily set up as the delivery room. It almost made Lin Siyao, who was anxiously waiting outside, push open the door and come in.
However, even if he wanted to go in and find out what was going on, his face was still ashen as he stood at the door of the delivery room. Previously, Mama Liang had pulled him back with all her might, not letting him go in. She said that it was inauspicious for a man to see the blood of a pregnant woman.
Inauspicious?
Hmph, he originally didn't care about those words. How many times had his hands been stained with blood?
But now, it wasn't just him. There was also the woman inside who kept screaming because of the pain of childbirth. In order for her to safely give birth to Shuanglin, he endured it.
"Martial Uncle …" Situ Yun, who had invited the imperial physician from the Northern Imperial Capital, finally didn't disappoint and came back before Su Shuiche gave birth. Under the gaze of a group of servant girls who were crying tears of joy, Situ Yun rushed into the courtyard and ran to Lin Siyao. "Martial Uncle, the imperial physician … the imperial physician is here, and his disciple. It is said that Xiyue, who has never made any mistakes in delivering babies."
"Where is she?" Lin Siyao stared straight at him. This stinking brat, did he dare to come any later?
What was the use of waiting for Shuiche to give birth or … only then did he come late with people?
He didn't dare to think too deeply.
"That … there was an accident … Martial Uncle, I'll explain later. Right now, uh … should I let Xiyue go in first?" Situ Yun scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.
"Then hurry up!
What are you being long-winded for?
Where is she? "Lin Siyao growled.
He couldn't wait to immediately grab her and go in to see the situation.
Listening to the sounds coming from the delivery room, he, who had never known what it was like to have weak legs, felt weak and powerless.
"Oh, okay.
Doctor Ouyang … Miss Xiyue … "Situ Yun turned around to look at the old man and the young man who had just entered the courtyard. Although the old man's white beard was fluttering in the wind, he was full of energy. The young man was holding his abdomen and walking unsteadily.
"Miss Xiyue, are you … alright?" Situ Yun looked at the woman with a pitiful and amused expression as he asked.
It was said that the Long Xiyue, who had never made any mistakes in delivering babies, was actually sick in the carriage.
They had already slowed down the speed of the four-horse carriage. The one-day journey had been reduced to two days, but they were still dizzy and vomiting. Whatever they ate, they vomited.
"No … no problem … Blergh …" The woman had just said that when she squatted on the ground and started retching again.
"Sigh, I told you to take some pills before we set off, but you didn't listen. You're suffering now, aren't you?" The old man shook his head and ordered the medicine boy behind him to take out some cooling pills.
"No …" Long Xiyue waved her hands. What a joke. She had already endured the bumpy journey and vomiting. She didn't want to take these disgusting cooling pills when she reached the destination.
"Are you sure you can deliver a baby in your current state?"
Ouyang Xun looked at his disciple who could be called a genius in medicine and medicine and shook his head helplessly. She was used to seeing bloody and terrifying scenes since young and wasn't afraid of anything, but she was still sick in the carriage.
This time, if it wasn't for the fact that Prince Jing, who had retired from recuperation due to illness, went to the palace to meet the Emperor for his long-lost daughter who was in danger of giving birth and asked for his disciple to bring him along as a precautionary imperial physician to the remote and backward Blossom Town, with his disciple's fear of the carriage, she would definitely not be willing to leave the capital.
"Ah …" Another shrill scream came from the delivery room.
"You guys!
What are you doing here?
Didn't you hear that she's about to give birth inside? "
Lin Siyao's face was cold and angry as he stared at the two people who were squatting and standing in the courtyard. It was said that they were the imperial physician and midwife who were famous in the capital. But, damn it, what was this situation??
Were they chatting?
If he continued to delay, he couldn't guarantee that he still had the patience to wait outside and listen to the sounds.
If he didn't see Shuiche safe and sound, he wouldn't be able to stand still.
"Alright, alright, I'll go in immediately.
Although the screams are shrill, but it shouldn't be time for them to come out yet.
You're thinking too much. "
Long Xiyue ignored Lin Siyao's ashen face and angry expression. She waved her hand and supported her dizzy head. Straightening up, she endured the desire that was still surging out from the bottom of her throat and walked towards the delivery room.
Damn it, if it wasn't for the fact that she was pregnant with twins, what Prince Jing? Even if the Emperor gave an imperial edict, she wouldn't come.
The broken carriage was so bumpy that she was about to meet Yama.
"It better be like this.
Otherwise, I don't mind making a move on a woman who has no professionalism. "Lin Siyao coldly retracted his gaze and focused his attention on the delivery room.
"Professionalism?
Please, it's because of this damn professionalism that I vomited for more than five days. "
Long Xiyue curled her lips at Lin Siyao whose back was facing her and muttered a few words. She then composed herself and left Ouyang Xun behind as she walked towards the door of the delivery room. "You, that's right, it's you. Bring me a basin of warm water, I need to wash up.
I vomited until my whole body stinks. "Long Xiyue casually pointed at a servant girl who was standing outside the delivery room and waiting for orders.
The servant girl looked at Lin Siyao and seeing that her husband didn't have any intention to refute, she nodded obediently and went to the kitchen to get water.
But, such a young and fierce lady, was she really a powerful person who could save her family's young miss and young master?
"Six fingers, six fingers … … Furen, do your best, you'll be able to come out in a while … …" The two midwives' joyous shouts made Lin Siyao and the rest calm down, except for Long Xiyue who was standing in front of the servant girl, washing her hands and wiping her face. "Six fingers?
Tsk, we still have to wait … … "Should she directly perform an autopsy?
She stared at the clear water in front of her and this thought flashed across her mind.
Sigh, forget it, let's wait and see first.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen the pedantry of the ancient people. If she mentioned a caesarean section, the people here might even treat her as an executioner.
But, she kept frowning. Twins, it was brought forward by another month. Would the fetus have enough strength to come out of the mother's womb?
Also, would the mother have enough strength to give birth naturally?
Forget it, let's wait and see.
Long Xiyue threw the used towel to the servant girl and turned to walk to the delivery room.
"Tell the kitchen to prepare more hot water and prepare a brazier. Qing Lan, bring in the utensils in my bag."
After instructing the maids who were not in a good condition, Lin Mengya said something to her right-hand man, Qing Lan, who was hurrying to the front of the main house with a big bag. Then, Lin Mengya flashed into the delivery room.
"Yes." Qing Lan received the order and followed Long Xiyue into the delivery room.
The servant girl who was carrying the water basin also came back to her senses and hurried to the kitchen to inform the servant girl who was on standby in the kitchen to boil water and carry the brazier.
But, a brazier?
Did giving birth need a brazier?
"How do you feel?"
Long Xiyue ignored the strange and reproachful eyes of the two midwives. She came to Su Shuiche's bedside and confirmed with her.
"I … … Pain … … It's so painful that I have no strength.
The babies … … haven't they come out yet? "Su Shuiche's hair was wet with sweat.
She opened her eyes and said softly.
She thought that she would be able to give birth smoothly after enduring such pain for a while.
However, she was still too optimistic.
She had been in pain for more than two hours, but the midwives said that only six fingers had been opened. That was to say, it would take another two hours before the babies could come out, right?
However, she was a little weak. She was afraid that it would be difficult for her to endure another two hours of severe pain.
"It will take at least one more hour.
Can you endure it? "Long Xiyue checked her birth canal and asked clearly.
"Yes, but I … …"
"That's good. Then, take advantage of the fact that it's not very painful. Take a rest and save your strength.
You, prepare some food for your wife. Don't doubt that it's important to replenish her strength. "Long Xiyue ordered Chun Lan, who was always by Su Shuiche's side.
Then she turned to Su Shuiche and said, "The babies are looking forward to coming out, but if you don't have the strength to welcome them, you know the consequences."
Su Shuiche looked at Long Xiyue, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but had an inexplicable calming effect on people's hearts. She nodded for a moment and said to Chun Lan, "She's right.
Chun Lan, I think I should eat some snacks. The pain just now seemed to have exhausted all my strength. "
"Okay, Chun Lan will tell them to bring in some snacks that Miss likes." Chun Lan looked at Long Xiyue gratefully, bowed to her, and went to give the order.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen.
I promise. "Long Xiyue promised Su Shuiche firmly.
This was the first time she had faced a pregnant woman with twins since she came to this world.
Even if she was in a sorry state because of the pain, she was still beautiful and could not be ignored.
How could such a beauty be taken away by the God of Death? What's more, there were two innocent and lucky twins in her belly.
Long Xiyue's lips curled into a smile. She was in high spirits. "As long as you trust me and let me make all the decisions, I can guarantee that you and the babies in your belly will be safe and sound." She guided him patiently and patiently.
"Okay."
Su Shuiche didn't think too much. As long as the twins could be born smoothly, no matter what the seemingly smart, straightforward, and bright woman in front of her wanted or did, she wouldn't interfere.
She was powerless to interfere all the time.
"Okay.
Because of your words, I'll go all out today.
If I don't complete this commission, I'll write the three words' Long Xiyue 'backwards. "
Long Xiyue smiled and threw out the bold words. First, she drove the two midwives out of the delivery room, followed by Mama Liang and Chun Lan. Only her assistant, Qing Lan, was left.
After cleaning up the delivery room amidst the protests, Long Xiyue opened the bag and took out a box of carefully preserved surgical tools.
"Hey, baby, I didn't give you a chance to use your skills. Are you eager to make a move?
Hehe, don't be anxious. There may be a chance today. Don't embarrass me.
In any case, this is the first time I'm using the western method of midwifery in this world.
If it fails, not only will you all die, your master, I, will also die.
Seeing that I haven't been in love in my two lives, can you work harder for me?
ok?”
Long Xiyue squatted in front of a box of shiny surgical tools and murmured for a while. Until Su Shuiche, who had finished the snacks, had another labor pain, and suppressed the cry of pain, she straightened up and came to Su Shuiche. While checking the situation of the birth canal, she asked Qing Lan to prepare the anesthetic powder and put the scalpel on the brazier to roast.
Hearing the knock on the door, it was the maid who brought hot water. Qing Lan took the hot water bucket, closed the door, and blocked the maid's eyes. She lined up two buckets of hot water and warm water near the bed.
So that they could be used immediately after the birth.
"Ah …"
"Damn it!"
Hearing the shout again after a long silence, Lin Siyao clenched his fists. He listened to the woman's words and sent away the two midwives and a group of maids. Was it really okay?
"Senior sister apprentice, the birth canal is fully open."
Qing Lan, the assistant trained by Long Xiyue to be extremely modern, reported the latest situation to Long Xiyue, who was about to deliver the baby, after checking again.
"Well, it's quite fast.
Madam, please save your strength. When I say one, two, three, you use your strength. Do you understand? "Long Xiyue told Su Shuiche.
If she could give birth naturally, she certainly wouldn't abuse the operation.
It was always good to be prepared for both sides.
Long Xiyue signaled Qing Lan to hold Su Shuiche's buttocks. When looking at the birth canal, she shouted "one, two, three" in a low voice. As soon as the word "three" came out, Su Shuiche exhausted all her strength and finally saw the baby's head. Very good.
"Keep it up!" Long Xiyue let her take a breath and continued to let her save her strength for the second round of efforts.
"You can see the baby's head. Madam, you must want to hear their voices, right?
Then, keep it up.
When I say one, two, three, remember to use your strength. "Long Xiyue nodded to Su Shuiche and comforted her.
Su Shuiche was sweating all over. Her hands twisted the sheets under her body and she nodded weakly. After calming down, she used her strength again to cooperate with Long Xiyue's command.
This cooperation, coupled with Long Xiyue's encouragement from time to time with the number of babies coming out, made Su Shuiche temporarily forget the pain and have no time to care about it.
"Wah …" A bloody baby, after being held upside down by Long Xiyue and slapped a few times, made an earth-shattering howl, which shocked the people waiting quietly outside the room.
It also encouraged Su Shuiche, who was almost exhausted.
"Don't close your eyes. There's one more."
Long Xiyue took advantage of the time when Qing Lan washed the baby out of the mother's body. After wrapping the baby in soft swaddling clothes, she handed it to the anxious people outside and closed the door. She glanced at Su Shuiche, who was about to close her eyes, and said in a low voice.
This was the most dangerous time.
She didn't want to give birth to another baby.
Hearing this, Su Shuiche immediately opened her tired eyes. "Same as before?" She cooperated with Long Xiyue's one, two, three. She used her strength?
Long Xiyue nodded and praised her in her heart.
She looked so soft and delicate, but she actually had such a firm heart.
Perhaps it was the glorious identity of a mother that was enough to change the impossible for a woman.
After another round of using her strength, Su Shuiche felt the burning pain in her lower body as if it was being torn apart. She felt like the object in her abdomen was emptied. She felt that the object stuck in a certain part of her body was gone, and her body suddenly became much more relaxed.
After a while, she heard an equally loud cry. Only then did she close her eyes in satisfaction.
She knew that the two babies had been born successfully, and she didn't have a hemorrhage or a difficult labor as the doctor had said.
Except, she really wanted to sleep. She just wanted to have a good sleep. Before she had enough sleep, no one should wake her up …
