Chapter 140: The Qian Clan's Birth
After Nian's entry into the house, Yinzhen did not have much closeness and affection for her as I expected, but came to our courtyard more often in his spare time.
In fact, at first, I didn't quite understand why Yinzhen's attitude was different from the rumors in wild history. Later, after a careful analysis of the current situation, I understood most of it.
I know Yinzhen, and the Yinzhen I have seen over the years is very different from the cold-faced emperor in my memory in the past. Although he is still the Prince Yong who is cold and silent on the surface, in front of me in private, he is impatient, straightforward and truthful, and occasionally a little childish.
The political turmoil caused by the abolition of the crown prince in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi also affected Yinzhen's best brother, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang. Although he was not confined to the beekeeping trap as rumored in the novels and wild histories, he was also ordered to stay in the mansion for reflection and reflection, thus staying away from the political arena.
This is tantamount to losing Yinzhen's right-hand man, but at the same time, it also makes his heart more and more clearly see Kangxi's intention to protect them from strife.
Therefore, since the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, Yinzhen has been more cautious and low-key, and he can hardly make any mistakes.
Kangxi assigned Nian Qianyao's sister Nian to Yinzhen, which originally attracted a lot of attention and speculation. I even guessed whether this would be a temptation of Kangxi to Yinzhen, if I could have this kind of guess, how could a smart person like Yinzhen not think of it.
Because of this, his estrangement from Nian is also reasonable, and Nian seems to be aware of this, and from beginning to end, he did not make any big moves, but complained to the Ulanala clan very wisely, and stayed quietly in his yard all day.
However, Yinzhen has very little leisure time, so although he comes to my hospital when he has time, he still works in the front yard most of the time. Yinzhen, who is nearly thirty-four, has become more and more onerous in official affairs after the eldest brother Yinren was banned and the crown prince Yinren was not able to stand up, and Kangxi's trust in him is increasing day by day, this trust means that he has begun to contact more government affairs, and at the same time, he can let go of his hands and feet to make more people for his own use.
I rarely take the initiative to mention political matters to Yinzhen, but I asked Xiao Shunzi to report to me every day the news he can get, and always pay attention to the changes in the situation in the court and the wind and grass in the house. These things are out of various concerns about the future, and I have never even mentioned them in the Qian family.
There are less than two months left before Qian's labor, and the mother and nurse who delivered the baby have already been prepared. In this era of underdeveloped medical technology, a woman's giving birth to a child is no less than walking in a ghost gate, although Li has not made a big move, I still have a vague premonition that Li will not be happy to see Qian and my child born so smoothly.
For the selection of the stable wife, I personally found the Wulanala clan and asked her to ensure that she is reliable and safe, and the Wulanala clan also agreed with my idea and specially selected a reliable mother-in-law from the palace.
In a blink of an eye, it was August 12 of the 50th year of Kangxi, and Qian entered the delivery room a few days early, waiting for the time of the attack, until noon on August 12, when the attack began, and it was not delivered until the night of the 12th.
When the Qian family had a seizure, Yinzhen happened to be not in the house, and seeing that she had been tossing and not being able to give birth, the Wulanala clan was also anxious.
Wen Po came out several times and said that the child was a little big, the fetal position was not correct, I was afraid that it was a difficult birth, and she could only use massage techniques to correct the fetal position first. I was not at ease, and proposed to go in and watch but was stopped by the Ulanala clan, saying that I was also pregnant with a child, and I was afraid that the delivery room would be bloody and unlucky.
But listening to Qian's heart-rending wail, I couldn't sit back and wait with peace of mind, and the bad premonition in my heart was even stronger.
"No, I have to go into the delivery room, or I'm afraid something will happen. "I said to Ulanala with a tone that could not be denied.
"Don't you think about yourself and your own child, if her child can't be born, what happens to you, how can I explain to the prince, and what hope can I hope for in the future?"
"Don't worry, I know the proportions, the Qian family and this child must be saved. Otherwise, even if my children are here, there is no way to fight with the Li family. I was resolute.
Seeing that I insisted on this, the Ulanala clan couldn't bear this stubbornness, so they had to reluctantly agree.
As I entered the delivery room, a pungent smell of blood hit my nose and made my brow furrow. The child has not been born yet, just such a big smell of blood, and if it goes on like this, the Qian family will only get weaker and weaker, and he will not have the strength to give birth to a child at all, not to mention, even if the child is born, the Qian family is afraid that it will be over.
I looked at the woman who was massaging the fetal position for the Qian familyβit was the person from the Wulanala clan, and this thought shocked me. It suddenly occurred to me that after joining forces with the Ulanala clan, I had been guarding against the Li clan, but I was negligent in guarding against the Ulanala clan. Once, when I gave her an idea, I mentioned the method of mothers and children in the past, which she wanted to use on Jiao Xing back then.
But Jiao Xing died, and the Wulanala clan has been keeping a low profile, and I haven't arranged for anyone to give Yinzhen for a long time, so I forgot. Qian's status is not high, if she dies in childbirth during childbirth, many things can't be blamed on the Ulanala clan, and she, as a mother-in-law, can raise this child smoothly. With this child, she is equivalent to having her own heirs, and with her status as a concubine, she can easily deal with the Li family without using our hands at all.
"Get out of the way," I said coldly to Wen Po.
"Geng Gege, this ......" Wen Po saw that I entered the delivery room with my stomach and wanted to stop it, but because of my unkind expression, she swallowed it hard, and her silence stepped aside.
I stepped forward and whispered to Qian: "Don't be afraid, I will personally help you give birth, for the sake of yourself and your child, you must get through." β
Although Qian was weak, she was very conscious, she saw me, a smile appeared on her face, gritted her teeth and said: "Sister, I'm not afraid, if I can't do it, I must find a way to keep this child, I believe that my sister will raise him well, please." β
"Don't say stupid things, children can't live without their own mothers, I can't protect two children alone, you have to live, remember, I promise that you and the children will be fine, from now on you listen to me, just work hard." I took Qian's hand and didn't allow her to say those frustrating words, cheering her up.
After receiving a response from Qian, I reached for Qian's high bulging abdomen to try to determine the child's fetal position. The child is indeed in an incorrect fetal position, which is right for the mother-in-law, and the palace opening of the Qian family has also been opened, but because the fetal position of the child is about one or two centimeters away from the uterine opening, no matter how hard you try, it will not help.
I was suddenly glad that the TCM I studied back then was a general practice, including obstetrics and gynecology, and I also taught massage and physiotherapy, so I also studied the techniques of TCM midwifery.
At this time, I am also seven months pregnant, and it is easy to get tired when standing for a long time, not to mention that midwifery is a very laborious thing, but at this time I can't take care of myself, Qian and her child are not only important chess pieces in the whole chess game for me, Qian is one of the indispensable family members in this era, even if I have something to do, I must not allow her to have an accident.
I took a deep breath and said to Qian: "The child is not in the right position, I need to help you correct the fetal position, it may be very uncomfortable, even very painful, you must believe me and try to relax." β
Qian didn't have much strength to speak, but his body was obviously trying to relax, and his tight stomach felt a little loose, and I pinched the strength and slowly moved the child's head away from the birth canal towards the uterine opening, little by little, I don't know how long it took, and finally felt that the fetal position was straightened.
"Now that you start to exert yourself, even if you feel bored, you have to find a way to exert yourself. "I said to Qian that at this time, I also felt that I had obviously begun to lose my physical strength because I had consumed too much energy just now.
"The fetal position is correct, you come to deliver her, remember, she and the child must live, neither of them can be fine, otherwise I will definitely bury you and your family. I handed the Qian family to Wen Po and said to her word by word in a solemn tone.
Wen Po heard the seriousness of my words, and she promised to start delivering the Qian family with a pale face. I asked the maid to bring pen and ink, wrote a prescription for inducing labor and a prescription for stopping bleeding after childbirth, and handed it to Mama Xia, who followed up, and said: "You give this house to Xiao Shunzi, so that he must personally boil the medicine and bring it well, and no one is allowed to take over halfway, not even Fujin and her people." β
Seeing that my face was not good, Mama Xia wanted to say more, but I stopped her and urged her to do it quickly. Mama Xia had no choice but to go out and hand over the recipe to Xiao Shunzi, but she didn't dare to stay longer and quickly turned back, and then whispered: "Gege, your face is not good, do you want to go out and let the doctor take a look." β
My ears were full of Qian's mournful crying, and I shook my head at Mama Xia and said, "I'm fine, I'm just too tired, just take a break." I have to keep an eye on these mothers-in-law, or I'm afraid they will make them bad. β
Mama Xia understood my worries, so she didn't want to say anything more, so she asked someone to bring ginseng soup over to refresh me. I drank a few sips of ginseng soup, and I saw that the maid who had started to do it also took a piece of ginseng and prepared to put it in Qian's mouth.
"Stop, what do you want to do?" I asked urgently, as I stopped the's movements.
"Back to ...... Back to Geng Gege, minion...... The slave wants to let Qian Gege lozenge ginseng to replenish qi. The servant was frightened by me and stammered.
"Don't you know that her ginseng tablets at this time may cause postpartum hemorrhage? Are you trying to kill her?" I was furious and asked sharply, "Who asked you to take the ginseng tablets?"
"No...... No...... Be...... It was said by Mama Wen...... Minion...... The slave doesn't know anything...... "The servant knelt down with a normal sound.
"Okay, I don't want to pursue this, you help her deliver first, but from now on, no matter what she eats and what she uses, she must show it to me, do you know?"
"Gege, Xiao Shunzi brought the induced soup and sent it. There was a knock at the door, and Mama Xia went over to open the door, brought in a bowl of medicine, and handed it to me.
"But Xiao Shunzi personally took care of it and sent it?" I smelled the smell of the decoction, nothing unusual, but still asked uneasily.
"Yes, Xiao Shunzi said please rest assured. Mama Xia said.
Xiao Shunzi has always done things safely, he said that there must be no problem for me to rest assured, I asked Xia Mama to bring the decoction over to Qian's to take, and it didn't take long for Qian's labor pains to leave, but I knew that the medicine worked, the faster the uterine opening contracted, the more smoothly the child could be born.
"See the head, slow down and ......" "God bless, the body comes out......" "Born, born, it's an elder brother, quickly take scissors to cut the umbilical cord......"
With the shouts of surprise from the stable woman and the servant, I also showed a relieved smile on my tired face.
"It's not good, this kid has been holding back for too long, and he hasn't breath......ed," the stable woman suddenly exclaimed.
The heart that was originally put down was shocked by Wen Po's words, and he forgot his body, and suddenly got up and walked quickly to Wen Po.
I saw that the little figure had a purple face, and the situation was very critical. I couldn't help but think about it, so I took the child from the hands of the stable woman, put it on the bed, and asked the maid to bring a warm dry towel to dry the head and body to reduce heat dissipation, and then set the body in a position with the shoulders to roll the neck and raise the neck, so that the child's head was slightly raised. He also used his own mouth, ignoring the child's dirt, and gently sucked out the amniotic fluid in his mouth, which was also thick with phlegm. But the child still didn't react, which made my heart sink, but until the last moment, I didn't want to give up, so I reached out and patted the soles of the child's feet and rubbed the child's back with the palms of my hands. It was just a dozen seconds, but it seemed like a long time, and just when I was about to give up, a crisp cry suddenly pierced the sky.
As the child's first cry sounded, I also felt unprecedented relief and joy, which was an emotion that could not be expressed in words. But before I could feel at ease, I heard the maid who came forward to visit Qian's exclaim: "Qian Gege, she ...... She...... Lots of blood......"
"Take the hemostatic decoction, quickly!" At this time, I didn't have much strength to speak.
Xiao Shunzi was clever, and soon after sending the induced soup, he took the hemostatic decoction and waited outside, as soon as Mama Xia opened the door, she took the decoction he handed over, and gave it to Qian without waiting for me to say hello.
Fortunately, Qian's bleeding was not large, and after drinking the hemostatic decoction I prescribed, the bleeding stopped after a short time.
Qian's condition stabilized, Wen Po and the maid also cleaned up the house neatly, I dragged my tired body to stand up, went to see Qian's, made sure that she and the child were okay, and said to Xia Mama: "Xia Mama, you stay and take care of Qian Gege first, I don't worry about the others." β
"But...... Gege, your body ......," Mama Xia said with a pale face as she looked at her in embarrassment.
"It's okay, wait until the fourth master goes back next time, let him arrange the appropriate people to come over, and you will go back to my side, it won't be long in delay." I said.
Mama Xia had no choice but to agree and call Aster to accompany me.
I dragged my tired body out of the house, but as soon as I stepped out of the threshold, I didn't expect the whole person to fall down in front of my eyes. (To be continued.) )
