She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 502 - 501: Difficult Labor, Severe Hemorrhage

Just as he reached the doorway,

His arm was tightly grasped by someone.

Xiao Pingfeng was just about to get angry when he turned around and saw Madam Sun, he was taken aback.

"I must ask the Crown Prince to stop at the threshold of the birthing chamber," Sun Lianyi, upon receiving the news, immediately rode at full speed and arrived, her clothes drenched with dew, her expression grave as she looked at him.

Xiao Pingfeng struggled with his emotions, "She needs me."

"What she needs even more... is me," Sun Lianyi emphasized.

At this moment, during the childbirth of her daughter, a mother’s presence by her side was more necessary.

Seeing the Crown Prince stand still, the pained cries of his daughter continued to come from the birthing chamber.

Madam Sun could no longer contain herself.

"She is still angry now; your presence would only be a hindrance to her, Crown Prince. Besides, all of her siblings were born to me. Do you really know more about childbirth than I do?" she challenged.

Xiao Pingfeng no longer spoke but quietly stepped aside.

Madam Sun gave him a deep look, then lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Mother is here!" Yan Hongzhao’s eyes suddenly reddened when she saw Madam Sun, "My sister is inside..."

"Don’t panic," Madam Sun walked forward and embraced Yan Hongzhao, then headed for the inner chamber.

At that moment, Yan Lingzhen was drenched in sweat, her body covered in blood.

"How is it, Xiaoliu?" Madam Sun entered. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Yan Lingzhen swiped at the sweat with her elbow, focusing deeply, "It’s a difficult birth, we can only see the child’s feet now."

Her tone was relatively calm, but those inside the room were in a panic.

Especially Cong Ge, who was nearly paralyzed.

Miss is having a difficult childbirth...

What should be done?!

Whether it is premature or a difficult childbirth, she is hemorrhaging severely at the moment.

Fortunately, Madam Sun was still composed as she quickly removed her heavy outer robe and squatted at Yan Wanqing’s side, "Wanwan."

Yan Wanqing had cried her lips raw, and by now appeared somewhat spiritless; seeing Madam Sun, she spoke weakly, "...Mother."

She could clearly feel her life slipping away, as flashbacks of her past and present life flickered before her eyes.

"Xiaoliu, Xiaoliu, quickly look at your sister!" Madam Sun clutched Yan Wanqing’s hands tightly, feeling them grow cool. Upon seeing her daughter’s vacant gaze, she hurriedly called out.

Yan Lingzhen immediately came forward, her brow deeply furrowed, "Clean hands!"

The maidservants quickly brought a basin of clean water for her to wash up. After Yan Lingzhen hastily dried her hands, she used her index finger and thumb to lift Yan Wanqing’s eyelids.

"Pupils are dilating, life signs are fading, we must take immediate action," she declared.

She turned her head to Cong Ge, "Bring my medical box, Sister Cong Ge."

Cong Ge rushed out.

Yan Lingzhen pursed her lips in thought: "Ask the Crown Prince to come inside."

Difficult birth, severe hemorrhaging, and now the sister’s heart rhythm is irregular; it’s easy to end up losing both mother and child.

These risks, they had to be communicated to the Crown Prince.

Xiao Pingfeng, drenched in the cold dew, entered, immediately confronted with the overwhelming smell of blood within the room. Upon seeing Yan Xiaoliu smeared in blood, he didn’t even know how he managed to control his dizzied self to walk to the side of the bed.

"Wanwan, she..."

"After several consecutive shocks, the fetal position is incorrect, leading to a difficult birth. She is hemorrhaging severely, and we’ve confirmed the fetus is premature—the mother could be in danger at any moment. Please, Crown Prince, make a decision, to save the mother or..." Yan Lingzhen spoke in professional terms, her actions ceaseless, taking the medical box from Cong Ge, then laying the silver needles out on the table.

"Of course, no matter the decision of the Crown Prince, I, Yan Lingzhen, will definitely save my sister’s life," she claimed.

The tips of the silver needles gleamed with a piercing cold light.

Her gaze was resolute.

Stripped of her youthful innocence, her body now housed the soul of a fully matured adult.

"Please, I beg you to save Wanwan’s life. If she needs anything, I will have it fetched immediately," Xiao Pingfeng said in a hoarse voice, his dark eyes fixed upon the thin figure on the bed.

"Now, please, all unrelated persons leave," Yan Lingzhen commanded coldly as she approached the curtain.

Once the room was cleared, only Sun Lianyi and Cong Ge remained.

After removing Yan Wanqing’s clothes, she swiftly inserted all the silver needles, feeling a bit dizzy herself by the time she finished.

Now was the time to attempt a skill learned from the legendary gynecologist, which she had never had the chance to practice before.

A competent obstetrician could, with bare hands, turn a malpositioned fetus inside the pregnant woman’s body.

But there was only one chance.

The amniotic fluid had already broken. If this attempt failed, the only option remaining would be a cesarean section. With the dreadful hygiene conditions of ancient times, and without a sterile room, infection was inevitable and no "Miraculous Elixir" could help.

Yan Lingzhen’s heart tightened at the thought.

She swallowed hard and gently touched the slightly raised abdomen. "Sister, whatever I say next, you must do..."

Meanwhile.

Just as Xiao Pingfeng stepped out of the tent, a soldier came to report the arrival of Grand Tutor Qin’s carriage.

"Do not admit him," he refused without a second thought.

Even if it were the king of heaven himself, he would not see him at this time.

Upon hearing the soldier’s response, Grand Tutor Qin’s expression darkened a shade.

"Then go find Qin Huai and Erya first."

Qin Jun believed he had braced himself for the worst, but the instant he saw Qin Erya, he could not contain his shock.

His dear granddaughter, bruised and battered all over, was now tied by her limbs to the bed, howling in agony like a frenzied beast.

A gag was stuffed in her mouth.

The instant Qin Huai saw Qin Jun, he immediately rose to his feet. "Father."

"What in the world is going on? I entrusted you to care for her properly, is this how you manage things?" Qin Jun slammed his cane onto the ground with a thud.

Qin Jun’s face was grim: "I’m sorry, Father."

"You worthless fool!" Qin Jun raised his hand and slapped him.

Qin Jun’s face turned aside from the force of the slap, and it took a moment before he caught his breath, holding his cheek. "You are right to reprimand me. I failed to protect Erya."

"Where are your brother and sister-in-law? Such a terrible thing has happened to the child, and yet I see no one from your family here."

"My older brother and his wife went to seek justice for Erya. They were detained by the Crown Prince’s Imperial Guards and have not been released yet."

"Very well, very well, truly admirable!" Qin Jun sneered coldly, his originally amiable face now covered in a shroud of gloom.

He could never have imagined Xiao Pingfeng would go to such extremes for a woman, let alone that many years of mentorship would pale in comparison to Yan Wanqing!

Clenching his cane, Qin Jun’s furrowed face seemed to conceal a venomous demon.

"Woo, woo, woo!" A sobbing sound came from nearby.

It was Qin Erya seeing Qin Jun’s arrival.

Qin Jun immediately moved forward with his cane, disregarding Qin Huai’s attempt to stop him, and yanked the gag from Qin Erya’s mouth.

Before he could even speak,

Screams of hysteria filled the air: "Kill me! Grandfather, please! I can’t take it anymore, it hurts too much, Grandfather!"

"Kill me!"

"Uncle, Uncle, please kill me!"

"Aaaaah—"
