Chapter 448 Dual Drugs
Lan Qingwu only hoped that even if the Sixth Prince got married and had a wife, the two of them would wait two or three years before having children.
The two of them joked for a while, and the next day news came from the eldest prince's mansion that the eldest prince's wife was about to give birth.
Emperor Shenwu sent out several imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau, and even sent Zhao Wubing to the eldest prince's mansion.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince's wife's delivery process was extremely difficult and long. After noon, Lan Qingwu heard that the eldest prince's wife had a difficult delivery.
The palace maid who came to report was respectful and looked a little pale. The eldest prince's wife had an abnormal fetal position and had been in pain for several hours, but her cervix had not yet opened.
Lan Qingwu's heart sank. The Emperor Shenwu pondered for a few breaths and said, "Nie Wushuang is a genius and has excellent medical skills. Let Nie Wushuang go to the First Prince's Palace as well."
Lan Qingwu said, "Your Majesty has been waiting in Fengqi Palace for half a day. Please rest for a while!"
Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu's health into consideration and did not force himself to stay. He hugged Lan Qingwu and went to the bedroom.
By the evening, there was still no good news. Lan Qingwu frowned deeply, and Emperor Shenwu also became a little impatient.
Ru Ping hurriedly comforted him, "Your Majesty, Queen, Ru Han has gone to the eldest prince's residence to guard it. I believe good news will come soon."
Lan Qingwu nodded and said, "I hope so!"
Emperor Shenwu gently turned the ring on his finger and said, "It's normal for the first baby to be slow. Send someone to tell Concubine Wan not to worry too much."
However, it was impossible for Concubine Wan not to worry. At the middle of the night, Concubine Wan came to Fengqi Palace with a pale face and begged for mercy.
Li Xiang's report naturally woke up Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu. Emperor Shenwu frowned slightly. Lan Qingwu said, "Your Majesty, let Concubine Wan go to the Crown Prince's residence to check! Not to mention her mother, aren't Your Majesty and Ruo Ruo also having trouble sleeping?"
Emperor Shenwu then said, "Pass on my oral order, allowing Concubine Wan to go to the Grand Prince's Palace! Have all the guards on duty tonight keep an eye out and have the people in the Grand Prince's Palace report back at any time."
Li Xiang bowed and replied, "Yes!" Then he hurriedly trotted to convey the emperor's oral instructions.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince's wife had a particularly difficult pregnancy. By the evening of the second day, her cervix was only three or four fingers dilated. The imperial physician was already suggesting to the eldest prince whether to keep the eldest or the youngest child. The eldest prince refused with red eyes.
Nie Wushuang boldly prescribed a strong drug to induce labor. After discussing it with several imperial physicians, he reported to Concubine Wan and the eldest prince. After obtaining their permission, the eldest prince's wife was fed the drug to induce labor again.
But a moment later, the first prince's wife's tragic screams were heard in the room, and suddenly there was a moment of chaos in the room: "What are you doing! What is this!"
The eldest prince heard something wrong and was about to rush in, but was stopped by Concubine Wan: "Go in, mother! It's filthy inside, you can't go in!"
"Mother!..."
The eldest prince's eyes were red from staying up so long, his cheeks were slightly sunken, "You must protect her!"
Wan Fei paused, nodded firmly, and turned to go in.
Inside the house, the personal maid and midwife, who had been guarding for two days and one night, were exhausted. It was at this time that someone took advantage of the opportunity.
The woman on the bed was pale, but she made no sound. Concubine Wan could only smell the strong odor of blood. She looked up and saw Nie Wushuang nervously feeling the pulse of the eldest prince's wife outside the heavy curtains. A personal maid pointed to a midwife on the ground and said, "This Lu Ma was about to attack the eldest prince's wife. Fortunately, Doctor Nie smelled something wrong with her."
Nie Wushuang said, "Empress Wan, have someone take this midwife away first. The eldest prince's wife just drank a labor-inducing drug, and was also affected by the midwife's sachet with the scent of blood-activating and blood-dispersing fragrance. If we're any later, she might bleed profusely!"
Wan Fei had never given birth, but she knew how dangerous it was for a woman to have heavy bleeding during childbirth. Thinking of the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law, Wan Fei's body swayed. "What's the situation now? If the child doesn't come out soon, I'm afraid both the adults and the child will be in danger!"
Another midwife shouted, "The cervix is fully dilated! I can already see the top of the baby's head!"
Nie Wushuang's expression turned serious: "Quick! Go get someone to make some medicine to stop the bleeding!"
The eldest prince's wife was still stimulated by the double drugs, and the effect of the drugs took effect too quickly. After two days and one night, the eldest prince's wife had no strength left.
