Chapter 196 I will protect you at all costs
At this time, Jiang Yutong pushed the fetus back with her hands, and then came to Concubine Wan's belly, found the fetus's head with one hand and the buttocks with the other hand, and slowly pushed the fetus counterclockwise to turn the body over.
Sweat broke out on Jiang Yutong's face. The palace maid next to her helped wipe the sweat off while closely watching Jiang Yutong's movements.
Under Jiang Yutong's actions, her stomach slowly twisted and Concubine Wan's voice became louder and louder.
Having just received the order to bury all the emperor's people, the people inside dared not let their guard down.
The imperial physician took the Empress's pulse and wrote prescriptions at the same time. Their primary task was to ensure the Empress's physical strength. Bowl after bowl of medicine was poured into Empress Wan's mouth.
The midwife was also watching the situation at all times, hoping that this little girl could be miraculous, otherwise they would all be in trouble.
After about an incense stick of time, Jiang Yutong stopped, stood up straight, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's done."
"Let the imperial physician take your pulse and give you Tuohua Decoction."
The imperial physician hurried forward, and the midwife touched the cervix again and really felt the fetus's head.
The midwife blurted out, "It's done, it's done, I felt the baby's head."
Concubine Wan also felt relieved. At this moment, her whole body was wet and she was exhausted.
The imperial physician poured two more bowls of medicine into the patient's mouth, and put pieces of the best ginseng into his mouth one by one.
The midwife guided Concubine Wan to push, but the baby still did not come out. Perhaps the fetus was too big. Jiang Yutong took out a pair of scissors from the medicine box and cut from below.
The midwife gasped when she saw Jiang Yutong's scissors, but she didn't dare to say anything. She quietly closed her mouth and just guided Concubine Wan to use more force.
After a while, amid Concubine Wan's scream, the sound of the fetus was heard.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a baby boy."
Concubine Wan lost her breath and fainted.
Jiang Yutong's work was not finished yet. She had to sew up the lower part. When she was done, Jiang Yutong felt exhausted.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the imperial physician confirmed that Concubine Wan was fine.
At this time, Yu Rou knelt down towards Jiang Yutong.
"Thank you Miss Jiang for saving my life. From now on, you will be our queen's savior. Please accept my greeting."
Jiang Yutong quickly turned sideways. She was covered in blood and couldn't help anyone. She just kept saying, "No need to be so polite. Hurry up and get up."
The news had already spread outside the palace.
When the emperor heard that it was a prince and that mother and child were safe, he was overjoyed and said, "Rewards, everyone will be rewarded."
Xiao Yifeng also breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally fell.
No matter what the empress and other concubines thought in their hearts, they all looked happy and congratulated the emperor.
Jiang Yutong washed her hands and changed her clothes before coming out.
The emperor ordered Xiao Yifeng, "Send Miss Jiang back home properly."
Then he hurried off to see the prince and Concubine Wan.
Jiang Yutong said goodbye to the Queen. The Queen looked Jiang Yutong up and down and said, "Miss Jiang is a wonderful person. I didn't expect that she has such excellent medical skills."
Jiang Yutong lowered her head. "I don't deserve this title. I just happened to know this technique."
"Let's go back."
Jiang Yutong walked out of the palace with his head lowered.
It was late at this time, and the sky was only a little gray. The eunuch in front was lighting a lamp, and the two people walked in the long corridor without speaking.
Jiang Yutong might be tired and felt that the journey was really long. Xiao Yifeng seemed to notice her tiredness and moved closer to her. He held her hand with his wide sleeves. Her hand was icy cold at this moment, and Xiao Yifeng couldn't help feeling distressed.
Jiang Yutong was indeed a little exhausted at the moment, but with the warmth from Xiao Yifeng's hand, her body felt a little more comfortable and her steps became lighter.
After finally seeing the palace gate, Xiao Yifeng withdrew his hand.
Outside the palace gate, Dongmei and others had been waiting anxiously. Jiang Yutong had been in there for such a long time, and only one eunuch came out to get the medicine box. The others didn't say anything, which made Dongmei very anxious.
Seeing Jiang Yutong, Dongmei hurriedly ran up to her, "Miss."
Jiang Yutong leaned towards Dongmei, and Dongmei quickly supported him, "Hurry up and get in the car."
Dongmei helped Jiang Yutong get on the carriage. Xiao Yifeng came over and jumped on the carriage when no one was paying attention. Jiang Yutong was startled and didn't say much, so she just told Xia Zhu to leave.
The carriage slowly left, and Xiao Yifeng hugged Jiang Yutong in his arms, "I should have taken you out of the palace directly just now, and shouldn't have let you wade into this muddy water."
"You know, I was so worried out there, afraid that you wouldn't succeed, or that something bad would happen to you. I was thinking, if that ever happened, I would risk my life to protect you."
Jiang Yutong sensed Xiao Yifeng's worry and leaned comfortably in his arms, patting his back with her small hands. "I'm fine, I know what's going on."
The probability of difficult labor is very low in modern times, and the surgery in this area is very mature, so Jiang Yutong is also confident.
However, Jiang Yutong could also understand Xiao Yifeng's worries. It was not easy for a woman to give birth at this time, and problems could easily occur, not to mention in the deep palace.
Fortunately, everything went well.
Xiao Yifeng was still a little scared. "Don't be so impulsive next time. The palace has the best doctors and midwives. There's no need for you to intervene."
Jiang Yutong pushed Xiao Yifeng away, looked at him and said, "This Concubine Wan must be a special person to you. I only intervened for your sake."
Xiao Yifeng didn't expect that Jiang Yutong would notice just a flash of pity in his heart, and then he would think of saving people.
Xiao Yifeng touched Jiang Yutong's cheek and said, "Although Concubine Wan has taken good care of me since I was a child, compared to you, I still have selfish motives. I don't want anything to happen to you."
It would be a lie for Jiang Yutong to say she wasn't touched at this moment. She pressed her cheek against Xiao Yifeng's large palm and said, "Okay, everything is going well, don't worry."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, "Sister."
Jiang Yuwen's voice.
Jiang Yutong stepped back, sat up straight, and kept a certain distance from Xiao Yifeng. Xiao Yifeng also stepped back a little.
Jiang Yutong then lifted the curtain, "Brother, why are you here?"
Jiang Yuwen was relieved to see that his sister was fine, and then he saw Hades was there too.
Jiang Yuwen greeted with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are here too."
Xiao Yifeng nodded.
Jiang Yuwen said to himself, "I heard you had entered the palace when I returned from duty. Since you hadn't returned yet, I came here to look for you."
"But is there something going on in the palace?"
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "Nothing. I just helped Concubine Wan deliver a baby, so I came back late."
Jiang Yuwen didn't see anything unusual and even praised her, "Sister is amazing. She can even deliver babies."
Xiao Yifeng looked at the nervous Jiang Yuwen and shouted, "Stop the car."
"Go back and have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Then he jumped off the carriage.
Jiang Yuwen looked at Xiao Yifeng's back, "Prince, aren't you going to eat?"
Xiao Yifeng shook his head with his back turned and got on the horse that had been following him.
Jiang Yuwen smiled and said, "Let's go back quickly. It's getting late."
Then he rode his horse behind the carriage, and only then realized, "Your Highness has his own horse, so why is he sitting in my sister's carriage?"
