Chapter 521: A Cruel Decision

Outside the delivery room of Kunning Palace, Zhao Zhen sat outside the door with a depressed face, and Empress Dowager Li and Miao Yuan were also holding his hands left and right, but they did not speak, but silently wiped their tears, and in the delivery room separated by a wall, there was a painful moan of Queen Zhang, she had worked hard, but the child could not be born anyway, so the midwife and the imperial doctor also tried their best, but there was still no effect.

"This is my first child, is God so cruel that not only refuses to give me a child, but even my queen has to take it away?" Zhao Zhen listened to his wife's painful moans in the delivery room, and said with tears streaming down his face.

Since he learned about Empress Zhang just now, he also immediately ran here from the front hall, and even wanted to break into the delivery room, but was stopped by Empress Dowager Li and Miao Yuan.

But at this moment, Zhao Zhen suddenly saw Li Zhang, who was standing there without saying a word, which made him immediately feel as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately jumped up and grabbed Li Zhang's arm and begged: "Cousin, you have learned so many things in the Divine Bird, and you are also proficient in medical skills, you must be able to save the queen, right?" ”

As a playmate who grew up together, no one in this world knows Li Zhang better than Zhao Zhen, if he is usually sensible, he must know that although Li Zhang understands medical skills, Li Zhang's medical skills are very different from traditional medical skills, some can have miraculous effects, but some are just on paper, because of the lack of medicine and cannot be realized, so he usually does not ask Li Zhang this kind of question at all, but now Queen Zhang's life and death are on the line, and he also regards Li Zhang as a life-saving straw when he loses his mind.

"Big brother, don't embarrass your cousin, now that the imperial doctor has begun to think of a way, maybe my sister-in-law will be able to give birth to the child soon!" Miao Yuan also grabbed Zhao Zhen at this time and said with tears in her eyes, she also knew Li Zhang's medical skills like Zhao Zhen, but she didn't lose her mind, so she didn't believe that Li Zhang would have a way to do this kind of thing.

But what Miao Yuan didn't expect was that Li Zhang was silent for a moment and finally spoke: "I have a way, but ......"

"Cousin, you really have a way, tell me quickly!" Before Li Zhang finished speaking, Zhao Zhen shouted with ecstasy, and his whole body trembled because of excitement, he only had a point of luxury, but he didn't expect Li Zhang to really have a way.

"Your Majesty, listen to me!" Li Zhang tried his best to calm Zhao Zhen down at this time, and then said with a sad face, "I have a way to take the child out, if the child is okay, it should be able to survive, but the queen ......"

"What will happen to her?" Zhao Zhen heard this and asked eagerly again, he had a good relationship with Queen Zhang, although the choice of Queen Zhang was just a compromise plan, but with the later relationship, Zhao Zhen liked Queen Zhang more and more, as for the original Zhao Zhen's favorite Wang, although he was also named a concubine, but in comparison, he was not as favored as Queen Zhang.

"With the current conditions, the odds of survival are one in ten thousand!" Li Zhang sighed and closed his eyes at the moment, at this time he couldn't bear to look directly into Zhao Zhen's eyes.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Zhao Zhen's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and his eyes were full of despair, although he was looking forward to having a child, but he also hoped that Empress Zhang would be safe, and even when Empress Zhang was pregnant, he had imagined countless times that he and Empress Zhang were happy and happy holding the child, just like Li Zhang's family, but now this illusion has been shattered, and even Li Zhang can only keep the child.

Li Zhang knew that he had a problem for Zhao Zhen, but just now he had asked the imperial doctor and learned that the fetus in Empress Zhang's womb could not be born at all, and Empress Zhang's strength had been almost consumed, and the whole person was also extremely painful.

So now the only way Li Zhang can think of is to risk giving Empress Zhang a caesarean section, as long as the child in the womb is fine, the chance of survival is still very high, but with the current sanitary conditions, coupled with the current hot and humid weather, the wound left by the caesarean section will be almost 100% infected, and without the anti-inflammatory drugs of later generations, it is almost impossible for Empress Zhang to survive.

Table ...... Cousin, is there any other way? After a long while, I saw Zhao Zhen ask Li Zhang again in an extremely dry voice, and the pleading tone made people want to cry.

"I'm sorry, I'm ......" Li Zhang also opened his eyes at this time and said weakly, he was originally a half-hung doctor, he had never delivered a baby before, but he only knew the process of caesarean section, so let him take out the fetus and then save the mother's character, and in the absence of this drug, it was too difficult for him.

"Your Majesty, I believe Zhang'er has done his best, you...... You have to make a decision early, too! At this time, Empress Dowager Li held Zhao Zhen with tears and whispered, although Li Zhang's words were very cruel, but now if you only rely on the imperial doctor, I am afraid that the mother and child will not be able to keep it, and Li Zhang is at least very sure to keep the child.

Hearing his mother's words, Zhao Zhen also showed a painful look, if he followed Li Zhang's method, he would need to give up Empress Zhang's life, although reason told him that it was the right decision, but emotionally he couldn't make such a decision anyway.

"I ...... I can't! Zhao Zhen finally covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly, this is the first time he has been so fragile since he became an adult, and Empress Dowager Li is also crying bitterly at this time and holding her son in her arms, the mother and son hugged and cried together, Miaoyuan also kept sobbing, the so-called heavenly family is actually no different from ordinary people, they will also laugh and suffer.

Empress Dowager Li and Zhao Zhen hugged their heads and cried for a while, and finally stood up, and then came to Li Zhang's side with firm eyes and whispered: "Zhang'er, if you can really save the fetus in the queen's womb, you can go and prepare, I will go into the delivery room to see the queen!" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhang nodded when he heard this, and then watched the Empress Dowager Li enter the delivery room, he hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth and turned around, and then ordered people to quickly go back to his home to get what he needed.

Not long after Empress Dowager Li entered the delivery room, she walked out again, and then came to Zhao Zhen and whispered: "Your Majesty, the queen...... The Queen wants to see you! ”
