Si Ning hurriedly bowed and saluted again and replied, "Back to the Queen, Concubine Shu has asked my wife to come and diagnose her pulse."
This was also the excuse that Si Ning and Shu Fei had discussed early in the morning, and Si Ning told the truth.
The queen nodded and said to the maid on the side.
"Since Concubine Shu is not feeling well, please ask an imperial doctor to come and take a look at Concubine Shu. I have something to do with Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu will accompany me."
The two of them had calculated everything correctly, but they didn't expect to encounter the Queen's obstruction.
Si Ning wanted to refuse, but the queen didn't give her the chance at all and had people carry the sedan away.
Si Ning helplessly winked at the people in Qingyan Palace and followed the queen.
Inside Changning Palace.
The queen gave Si Ning a seat and started chatting with her.
First, she asked how Lu Hanxiao was doing, and then asked her about Lu Qingling.
"An'er suddenly said that day that he fell in love with your niece. I don't know your niece's character. Please tell me about it."
Did the queen bring her to the palace to hear what she said about Lu Qingling?
Of course, Si Ning was not stupid enough to believe this, but she did not have time to spend time with the Queen here, otherwise Concubine Shu would be in danger.
According to the agreement between her and Concubine Shu, the incense in the room should be lit from the moment she was announced into the palace.
When Si Ning arrived, the operation would be ready in about the same time.
After the operation was over, and she reported it to the emperor as if she had just been aborted, everything would be hidden.
But now, Si Ning was being held back, and Concubine Shu didn't know what was going on.
How could Si Ning be able to sit still?
She wanted to find an excuse to leave, but she was worried that the queen would become suspicious. The queen was still asking her about Lu Qingling.
It seems that calling Si Ning here today was really just for this simple matter.
Seeing that half an hour had passed before entering the palace, Si Ning picked up the teacup on the side and poured it onto the hem of his skirt.
"oops."
Si Ning exclaimed and spilled all the hot tea on his legs.
Because she was wearing a thin outfit, when she opened her skirt, there was already a large area of red underneath.
"What should I do?"
The queen looked on with worry on her face.
Si Ning quickly stood up, saluted and said.
"It's my fault that I'm not careful. If nothing happens to your Majesty, I'll leave first."
"Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at it? I have ointment for burns in the palace."
Si Ning declined softly, "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat my wife's injury. The ointment in the palace is too precious, and Si Ning is scared. I know some medical skills, so I can handle it myself when I go back."
Speaking of which, she was injured again, so the Queen naturally couldn't keep anyone around.
She gave Si Ning a few words and asked the palace officials to send her out.
As soon as she left, the queen's personal maid came up and asked.
"Your Majesty, I just looked at you. She may not have done it accidentally. It looks more like she fell down on purpose."
The queen nodded thoughtfully, "Send someone to keep an eye on her to see what she and Concubine Shu are going to do."
Qingyan Palace.
Concubine Shu's bedroom was already in a mess.
The incense was lit early in the morning, and it was already working.
Concubine Shu was so painful that she was sweating profusely and almost rolled over while lying on the bed.
The personal maid said anxiously while wiping her sweat.
"Your Majesty, please go and ask for the imperial doctor. I'm afraid Mrs. Lu won't be able to come for a while."
Another maid also persuaded, "Yes, my dear, how can you bear this? You are carrying a dragon seed in your belly, and people must know whether you live or die."
"Don't go!"
Concubine Shu relied on her remaining sense to give the order. She felt that Si Ning would definitely come.
As the pain became more frequent, Shu Fei lost all her strength.
If this continues, let alone whether we can wait for Si Ning to come, even if we wait, we may not be able to save him.
The maid did not dare to joke with Concubine Shu's life. She raised her feet and ran out. When she reached the door, she bumped into Si Ning who was rushing over.
Because he was walking in a hurry, Si Ning's forehead was already stained with sweat. When he saw the maid, he asked anxiously.
"How's it going?"
"It's already starting to happen."
Si Ning went straight into the bedroom without any further delay.
Everyone else had been screened out, leaving only Concubine Shu's two confidants.
Si Ning asked them to prepare what they asked for and then sent them away.
"Stay guard outside and don't allow anyone to come in."
Originally, Si Ning planned to bring an assistant in to help, but Concubine Shu didn't trust anyone except Si Ning.
The absence of an assistant meant that Sining had to perform the entire operation alone.
In this harsh environment, the difficulty has increased a bit.
But even so, Si Ning did not back down.
Although she had no friendship with Concubine Shu, it was difficult for her to have any sympathy for her. Even if she said that she and Lu Hanxiao had known each other since childhood, Si Ning would still not be kind to her.
But as a doctor, she would not turn a blind eye to a known disease, especially if the disease required surgery.
She knew that looking at the whole of China, no one but her could save Concubine Shu.
Si Ning injected special anesthetic into Shu Fei's artery and said the last words to her.
"Next you will be in a coma, and when you wake up, the child will be gone. I will help you fake it as if you just had a miscarriage. No doctor will find out the clues. As for what to do next, it all depends on your own plan. ”
Si Ning knew that none of the women in the palace were simple. Concubine Shu had said at the beginning that this child could not be lost in vain.
She would not participate in the fight, nor would she ask Concubine Shu what she was going to do.
Concubine Shu nodded and touched her belly with tears in her eyes.
"Si Ning, thank you."
Those were the last words she said before she fell completely into a coma.
Si Ning counted the time in her mind, and the anesthesia was more effective than she thought.
After Concubine Shu was completely unconscious, Si Ning picked up the special scalpel beside her.
She took the drawn picture to the blacksmith to bake it specially.
Although it cannot be compared with the scalpels of later generations, it is enough to perform an operation.
This operation was actually just a minor operation, and it was incomparably more difficult than the operations that Si Ning had performed in the past.
But in this environment, the difficulty of this operation has increased several times or even dozens of times.
The moment the scalpel went down, Si Ning was actually a little nervous.
But after she really started, her professionalism made her abandon all her thoughts, and all she could think about was the organs in front of her.
Halfway through the operation, a sound suddenly came from outside.
Si Ning's hand holding the scalpel paused for a moment, then returned to normal for just a moment.
The noise outside became louder and louder, followed by the sound of the Queen's arrival.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. If they were allowed to come in and see this scene, the consequences would be obvious.
Either Si Ning will be arrested as a monster, or he will be imprisoned as the murderer of Concubine Shu.
No matter which one it is, Si Ning is in trouble today.
