I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 246 The Queen Mother is critically ill

"Mrs. Fu, you have to listen to my instructions later. When I tell you to use force, you have to use force." Upon hearing this, Bai Yan immediately took off her shoes and knelt on the innermost part of the bed.

After applying some scented oil on his hands, he began to slowly touch Mrs. Fu's belly in a clockwise direction.

With her palms, she could feel the direction and trajectory of the fetus in her belly. Sometimes, Bai Yan could even feel the subtle movements of the fetus in Mrs. Fu's belly, the vitality of life.

Bai Yan's eyes were focused, as if she and Madam Fu were the only two people in the world. She concentrated on feeling, adjusting her technique and strength, and trying to guide the fetus in Madam Fu's belly to enter the pelvis smoothly.

"Mrs. Fu, how do you feel now?" Bai Yan asked softly.

"It hurts a little, but it's bearable." Mrs. Fu's voice was a little weak, but her tone was firm.

"Okay, be patient for a while, it's not time yet." Bai Yan's tone was firm and gentle. Her words were like a kind of magic that made Madam Fu feel at ease.

Bai Yan fiddled with Madam Fu's belly faster and faster with his hands, as if he was practicing Tai Chi on Madam Fu's abdomen.

After the sudden movement stopped, her left and right hands seemed to grab something, and she shouted: "Push harder."

If there was a X-ray machine, one would be able to see that Bai Yan was practicing Tai Chi on Mrs. Fu's belly, actually moving the two larger fetuses aside so that the smallest one could be born first.

Mrs. Fu heard Bai Yan's instructions, she took a deep breath, and then pushed hard. Bai Yan's fingers gently pressed on her abdomen, guiding the movement of the fetus. Her movements were gentle and powerful, as if she was dancing a silent dance.

"Wow! Woohoo!"

Finally, a clear cry broke the silence, and Bai Yan showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Madam Fu, it's a healthy baby boy." The midwife at the side skillfully cut the umbilical cord, patted the baby, and cleaned him up. Her voice was full of joy.

The Fu family members outside the house also heard the baby crying in the delivery room, and they all smiled with joy.

Prime Minister Fu's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Great, the Fu family has an heir!"

"Mrs. Fu, you still have two babies in your body, keep pushing." After giving birth to a baby, Bai Yan's left hand pushed forward instantly. After pressing her palm forward, Mrs. Fu's abdomen seemed to be pushed by an invisible force. She gritted her teeth and pushed forward with force. Her face was covered with sweat, but her eyes were shining with determination.

"what--"

With her scream, another wave of intense pain came, but this time she did not back down. She knew that she still had two children who needed her, and she could not give up.

"Breathe in, exhale, and use force." Bai Yan encouraged.

Mrs. Fu exerted her strength again, and she felt as if she was pushing the whole world out. Finally, after a burst of severe pain, she felt a warm current flowing out of her body. It was her long-awaited second child.

"It's out, it's out! It's a boy." The midwife nearby shouted excitedly.

"There's one more, keep going." With all his might, while Madam Fu was still in high spirits, he delivered the third baby in her belly.

I'm afraid that after she lets off some steam, she'll become weak again, and that will be troublesome.

When Mrs. Fu heard Bai Yan's words, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She knew that she couldn't stop here. For the sake of her children and her own future, she had to persevere.

She took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and pushed again. For a moment, the only sounds in the room were her heavy breathing and the midwives' whispers of encouragement. Mrs. Fu's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, but her eyes became more determined.

Finally, after a burst of intense pain, she felt a sense of relief. The third child finally came into this world.

"Finally it's a girl, great!" The midwives cheered happily. Mrs. Fu also breathed a sigh of relief. A tired but satisfied smile appeared on her face, and then she fainted in a daze.

........

Bai Yan successfully delivered triplets for Mrs. Fu, and after that all four of them were safe, every noble lady in the capital who became pregnant and was due to give birth would ask Bai Yan to examine their bodies and deliver their babies.

Bai Yan's reputation was at its peak in the capital, and her medical skills and childbirth skills were praised as "a divine doctor". Whenever a noblewoman became pregnant, she would send someone to ask for Bai Yan early, hoping that she could bring safety to herself and the fetus.

Bai Yan never disappoints their expectations. She uses her medical skills and attentiveness to conduct detailed examinations for each pregnant woman and provide them with the most suitable conditioning plan. On the day of delivery, she personally takes care of it, using her rich experience in delivery to ensure that every pregnant woman can smoothly give birth to a healthy baby.

These are all things for later.

On this day, in the Cining Palace.

"Your imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital are a bunch of good-for-nothings. They can't even cure a stomachache. What use do I have for you?" Emperor Rui'an sat at the top of the main hall of the Cining Palace. With a gloomy face, he angrily said to Wu Chen, Cui Shan, Lin Youpan, Zhou Yuanshi and others who were kneeling on the ground.

However, Cui Shan, Wu Chen and other highest-ranking imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital all knelt here.

The reason was simple. The Empress Dowager suddenly had abdominal pain three days ago. She didn't take it seriously at first, but the pain worsened in the evening. So she asked Cui Shanqian to come and see her that night.

Cuishan prescribed medicine for the Empress Dowager, which had some effect. However, on the morning of the next day, the Empress Dowager's abdominal pain worsened.

After Emperor Rui'an discovered the situation, he no longer cared about handling state affairs, but immediately summoned other imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to come for treatment. After prescribing medicine, taking medicine and performing acupuncture, there was little effect.

Now it was the third day, and Emperor Rui'an saw his mother's pale face and dying appearance. Five days ago, she was still alive, but after just a few days, she was gone forever. It felt like a knife was cutting Emperor Rui'an's heart.

"How is my mother's condition? What disease does she have?" Emperor Rui'an took a deep breath. He tried to calm down the anger and anxiety in his heart, and said with a gloomy face to the imperial doctors kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's condition is... really difficult. We have tried our best, but the Empress Dowager's abdominal pain has not been relieved. It doesn't look like she has a stomachache or typhoid fever. Instead, she has a fever.

I can't see what's wrong with the Queen Mother, but I can be sure that there must be something wrong with her abdomen." Cui Shan said to Emperor Rui'an with a stiff upper lip.

At this moment, not only was his forehead covered with sweat, but his back was also wet. It seemed that he was seriously frightened by the Empress Dowager's tricky illness.
