After the man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Doctor Zhou and the others to agree. He grabbed the horse's reins and led him to the roadside.
Passing through the dense snow, parked on the roadside was an oil-walled incense cart driven by four horses, with a hanging flower Qibao roof and a Sichuan brocade curtain.
There were many tall and powerful attendants standing around, intimidating Dr. Zhou to the point where he did not dare to speak.
"Tell the people below to stand far away so as not to scare the doctor." A woman in the car said.
The attendants hurriedly stepped aside, and also kept away the little eunuch who was holding the horse for Dr. Zhou.
The curtains of the car were lifted, and the two maids were at the front. Because the wind was at their backs, the snow could not blow into the car.
"It turns out to be Dr. Zhou," the person in the car laughed, "It's hard for you to save people in such a cold weather."
Doctor Zhou looked up and saw that sitting in the car were the cousins Ma Feiyan and Yao Wanyi. He knelt down and said, "I don't know that I am the two princes and concubines in my humble position. Please forgive me!"
"Doctor Zhou, please don't be too polite. Get up quickly! Our sisters have something to ask of you today." Ma Feiyan said and motioned to the maid in the car.
The maid jumped down and forced a heavy purse into Doctor Zhou's hand.
Imperial Physician Zhou did not dare to take the call, so Yao Wanyi said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, if you don't take the call, is it because you are too young or because you don't want to serve us?"
Dr. Zhou knew this person's temper. Dr. Lu, the most skilled doctor in the hospital, had been demoted because he did not agree to replace her with human eyes.
He can't afford it.
Seeing Doctor Zhou take the purse, Ma Feiyan couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Zhou, what are you going to do when you go to see Lan Ning?"
When Dr. Zhou heard this, he trembled with fright and knelt down again.
"Beizhi came out of the palace to treat the fifth prince's concubine on the orders of Concubine Ying and Concubine Xian. If something goes wrong, Beizhi may lose his head."
"What Dr. Zhou said is too scary. It's not like she's going to lose her head." Ma Feiyan chuckled and shook her head, "It's true that I want you to go see a doctor, but since she has already had a difficult delivery and narrowly escaped death, what if anything goes wrong? I don’t blame you.”
"Then according to the wishes of the prince and concubine...how should I act in my humble position?" Dr. Zhou gritted his teeth, but still said his bottom line, "It's just that since he is a doctor in his humble position, he must not harm others. What's more, the fifth prince's concubine... "
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to harm anyone." Ma Feiyan interrupted him, "As long as you don't try your best to cure it, that's enough."
The sky was dark and the lights were already on in the house.
"Why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet?" Mrs. Lan was so anxious that she couldn't sit still and walked back and forth underground. "Didn't you send someone to greet her?"
"The snow is too heavy and the road is difficult to walk." Lan Ning's sister-in-law said, "I think we'll get there if we wait a little longer."
Baoning Pill was not found either, and Nanny Qi did not dare to tell Lan Ning in front of her, for fear of making her anxious.
"Mommy, I'm a little anxious." Xue Hengzhao whispered to Grandma Qi, "I'm going to go outside."
Aunt Qi looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
This girl is clearly just an embroidered pillow beauty and lamp, she is just a beauty but not useful.
The empress thought she was clever and sent her out, but she didn't expect that her cleverness was just embroidering and making tea. When life is really at stake, not only is it of no use, it actually becomes a burden.
As for the Baoning Pill, how could she have lost it if she hadn't been careful?
It would be nice if I could find it in the end, but what if I couldn't find it?
It is impossible to ask the Queen for another pill, this thing is so precious.
Losing it is already a sin, and you still have to cover it up. How can you dare to ask for it again?
According to the mother-in-law's temperament, she will definitely not do anything to her. Now I just hope that the two mothers will have good luck and can both be safe.
By the time Xue Hengzhao came back from outside, Doctor Zhou had already arrived.
He was checking Lan Ning's pulse, then walked outside and said to Mrs. Lan and others: "It is most dangerous for a mother to give birth. The fifth prince's concubine is suffering from excessive blood loss, so I can only prescribe some medicine to stop the bleeding.
You also have to consider the dosage and medication to avoid harming the fetus. After all, the child is still in the mother's womb, so it is impossible to take too much medication, and even a humble job cannot bear the risk. "
Mrs. Lan and others naturally had no doubts about the imperial doctor and just kept saying good things.
At this time, two midwives came out from the inner room, covered with sweat. They held the table and said: "Madam, madam, our physical strength cannot support us anymore. Please replace us quickly!"
"How, how can this happen?" Mrs. Lan said, "It is a critical moment, how can you give up your choice?"
"Madam, we really didn't mean it. We have been struggling for almost a day. We are also made of flesh and blood!
Besides, the princess's fetus is a bit big, and the position of the fetus is not correct. She is afraid that the umbilical cord will be wrapped around the baby's neck, so she dare not move it..." The two midwives looked embarrassed.
"Go! Go out and find someone for me! Find midwives! Find a few more," Mrs. Lan was so anxious that she sweated. "You must know the root cause and have good means."
"I just heard from the servants in the mansion that there is a woman in the capital called Gui Pozi. She can use acupuncture to guide the Qi and can solve any adverse pregnancy. Why not invite her over?" Xue Hengzhao said.
"No way, no way!" Someone immediately objected, it was the Lan family's eldest grandmother's roommate, "I know that woman has a weird temper and ugly appearance. Only poor families who can't afford a doctor will ask her to go.
How could such a lowly person allow her to deliver a baby to a noble person? ! "
Xue Hengzhao just said that he went out to relieve himself, which was just an excuse.
She knew that both the person delivering Lan Ning's baby and the person diagnosing her pulse would definitely have reservations because they were afraid of taking responsibility.
So everyone is conservative and will never take risks.
Especially these midwives, who are used to serving noble people, must have many worries when doing things, and once a person has worries, it is impossible to let go.
It is better than the midwives in the countryside who dare to take action when encountering difficult and dangerous situations.
She had already seen that these people did not seek merit but no fault, so she could not expect them to help Lan Ning break through the door of life and death.
"In an emergency, extraordinary measures should be taken." Xue Hengzhao said, "What if we continue like this and something happens?"
"Why are you so ignorant, girl?! Those are the princess and the emperor's grandson. If something goes wrong, your heads will fall off!" Nanny Qi wished she could cover Xue Hengzhao's mouth.
Where did she bring a helper? He clearly brought a troublemaker.
"But will it be possible to call the ghost woman here? If something happens because of her misconduct, who will be responsible?!" Grandma Lan asked.
Lan Ning is the whole hope of their family. If something happens to her, the sky will fall.
"Everyone is afraid of taking responsibility, so everyone is timid." Xue Hengzhao said, "I will ask the princess for instructions and see what she wants."
Xue Hengzhao went in to ask Lan Ning for instructions. Lan Ning was weak and weak, but he was not confused: "Go and ask for it! If you just waste it like this, you can only wait for death. Even if it is a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor, there is still a chance."
"You are a good person and heavenly minister. Nothing will happen to you." Xue Hengzhao said, "I will go and fetch the old woman. Please be patient for a while longer."
