The prince's family ordered Murong to bring people and moved two couches over, and the couches were also covered with silk soft quilts.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the weather was cold.

"If you get some more, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are not young." Li Zhi waved his hand, and the Murong guests immediately retreated carefully.

The emperor took the lead in sitting down, and Wu Hou sat aside.

Soon, more couches, stoves, long tables, hot tea, all in place.

The courtyard suddenly became much warmer.

Li Xuan stood aside, frowned, and then took advantage of the fact that the others were not paying attention, and greeted Murong in a low voice.

Murong guest came over quietly, and when he heard what Li Xuan said, he was slightly surprised, and then retreated.

Li Xuan glanced behind him, but didn't see Ming Chongyan's shadow.

Before, the East Palace was heavily guarded, and Ming Chongyan couldn't enter, but now that the emperor brought people in, the secret guards also came in.

Ming Chongyan also came in.

……

In the Yichun Palace, the princess's screams of pain gradually became louder.

The faces of everyone in the courtyard quickly became nervous, but after half a day, they were still screaming in pain.

Although Li Xian looked anxious, he still tried his best to endure when he saw that Li Zhi and Empress Wu were there.

Li Zhi listened to the princess's voice quite powerfully, and pressed his hand on the armrest of the couch, secretly relieved.

At this time, the corner of Li Zhi's eyes swept to Li Xuan.

Although Li Xuan's expression was solemn, he was quite calm.

Li Zhi immediately thought of something, looked at Li Xuan and asked directly, "Twenty-seven Lang, what about the things you prepared?" ”

Difficult birth, this is the thing that every family is most afraid of encountering, even the royal family is no exception.

Li Xuan had anticipated the problems she might encounter in advance before Liu Jinyu gave birth, so she made preparations in advance.

In the end, although Liu Jinyu showed a slight sign of dystocia, the result was still a smooth delivery.

Therefore, the emperor and the Empress Wu hoped that Li Xuan could help in the production of the crown princess, at least bring some good luck.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's all here." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and then pulled out two arm-length flat boxes from the sleeves of the wide python robe.

The two long boxes were carefully placed on the table by Li Xuan.

Li Zhi looked up in some surprise and asked, "Didn't you say that there are three boxes?" ”

Li Xuan bowed his head and said, "There is another one that has to be made by the prince himself." ”

Li Zhi suddenly looked at Li Xian in surprise, Li Xian suddenly twisted a little, but still took out a copy of this chapter from his arms and handed it over.

Li Zhi opened it and saw that it read: "Praise the Buddha Shakyamuni!" Praise Nan Wu Yao Shi Liuli Guang Rulai......"

A Buddhist scripture, but it is indeed hand-copied by Li Xian.

There is also a poem in it, written by Li Xian to the crown princess, which is tactful and delicate, but not atmospheric enough.

Li Zhi glanced at Li Xian, then glanced sideways at Li Xuan again.

I couldn't help but shake my head.

Drawing a cat and a tiger is not like a painting.

……

Li Zhi handed this chapter to Empress Wu, and after Empress Wu took it, he read it carefully, and said with slight approval: "Erlang has a heart, send it in." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xian took it, and then handed it to a maid and carefully sent it in.

Empress Wu turned to look at Li Xuan at this time, and said thoughtfully: "If all the women in the world can get the wish written by their husbands when they give birth, presumably the women in the world will be able to have a little more strength when they give birth, so that the women who give birth smoothly will not be more than a million." ”

Li Xuan immediately arched his hand and said: "What the Queen of Heaven said is extremely true, if the palace can compile a rare book and distribute it to the world, it must be immeasurable merit." ”

Women's affairs in the world are under the jurisdiction of the Queen of Heaven.

Empress Wu once did "Internal Training" and "The Biography of the Daughters", and now it is very appropriate to use this to produce a rare book.

Li Yuanjia and Li Yuangui, as well as the eldest princess of Huainan, the surprised eyes of the three fell on Li Xuan, and their expressions were complicated for a while.

Compared with them, Li Xuan's relationship with the palace is much better.

"That's one of them, but you have two boxes here, and you can talk about everything in them."

Empress Wu smiled, her eyes falling on the two boxes in front of her.

Being able to do something for the women of the world is a very prestigious thing.

Empress Wu has "Internal Training" and "Biography of Daughters", and Empress Changsun also has 30 volumes of "Women's Rules".

If it can really increase the fertility rate of the world on a large scale, the Empress Wu will definitely be regarded as a Buddha of ten thousand families.

"Yes." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and under the gaze of everyone, opened the first box.

Inside the box was a cyan porcelain vase, and Li Xuan carefully placed the porcelain vase in front of Empress Wu.

Taking a step back, Li Xuan said in a respectful whisper: "This is a tonic pill made of ginseng, atractylodes, boiled licorice, poria cocos, and peony. It's not a very unusual medicine, but the preparation method is a little special, and the prescription has been stored in Shang Pharmacy earlier. ”

"Pharmaceutical, the technique and dosage are very particular, the same medicine, almost the same dosage, different people make different medicines."

Li Zhi glanced at the medicine bottle and nodded, and asked, "When does this medicine need to be delivered?" ”

Li Xuan estimated the time, and then said: "There is another half an hour to send ginseng porridge inside, this medicine has to be eaten after the ginseng porridge, and it will be taken in half an hour, so that it can work at the same time, I think it should be near the time of arrival." ”

"In this way, calculate the time, Xin'er should be just after the child, that is, the New Year, the first night of the second year of Yifeng, and it will be auspicious."

Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, it is indeed good to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

And at Li Zhi's age, he also pays more attention to this.

Thinking of the time, Li Xuan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky of the entire Chang'an City in the south.

Even though it's late at night, the crackling of firecrackers is still ringing.

But it should be the most lively palace, as well as the doors of the dignitaries and nobles around the vicinity, are surprisingly quiet.

Everyone was waiting for Lee Hyun's son to be born.

Although he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, in some sense, he is not inferior to the crown prince who was born.

After all, there have been examples of the emperor's eldest grandson ascending the throne in the past.

Emperor Xiao Zhaoye of the Southern Dynasty Qi, the eldest grandson of Emperor Xiao Zhen of the Southern Dynasty.

Because of the early death of his father, the crown prince Xiao Changmao, he was made the imperial grandson and successfully became the third emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty at the age of twenty-two.

Although the final outcome was not good, his ascension to the throne of the emperor was legally reasonable.

Once Li Xian's son is really born, then Li Xian's position as the crown prince will be even more consolidated.

Even the throne of Li Zhi and the stability of the entire Tang Dynasty have positive significance.

Empress Wu was equally satisfied.

The birth of the emperor's eldest grandson means that Li Xian will act more steadily in the future.

Similarly, Li Xian will also put more attention on his son.

The courtiers don't care what the future is, the people in the real key positions see everything very realistically.

The vacant period of time is just right for Wu Hou to seize power.

As her mind turned, Empress Wu's eyes fell on the third box, and she asked with some curiosity, "What's in this third box?" ”

With this sentence, the eyes of everyone in the courtyard fell on Li Xuan.

They have more or less heard some rumors that Li Xuan has a secret weapon in his hand that can allow pregnant women to give birth safely.

That's what was in the box.

But this thing only appeared on the day of Princess Nanchang's birth, but it was never used at all.

Later, it was successfully produced, and when people who wanted to look for this thing again, they couldn't find it.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, looked at the box, and said softly: "The Queen of Qi, the things in this box are slightly hurtful to the heavens, so if you want to use it, unless it is at the last moment, when you are in a dilemma of life and death, you can never use it." ”

After speaking, Li Xuan bowed heavily.

There is a dilemma of life and death.

Empress Wu's expression suddenly became serious, these words are not so good.

Turning his head and glancing at Li Zhi, Li Zhi nodded calmly, and Empress Wu immediately spoke: "You open it." ”

"Yes!"

Li Xuan bowed his hand, then took a step forward, and then carefully opened the box.

An iron, polished, shiny pincer-shaped thing appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Slightly special is its head, which is toroidal on the left and right sides.

"What is this, pliers?" Empress Wu's brows suddenly furrowed.

What are pliers used for, they are to grip things.

Feeling absurd in her heart, Empress Wu couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that you want to use this pliers to directly grab the fetus in the woman's womb?" ”

"The queen is wise, indeed."

Li Xuan immediately gave up his hand, and in the surprised eyes of the Empress Wu and the emperor, he said calmly: "This thing uses the head curve formed between the tongs and blades to encircle and protect the fetal head, hold the tongs handle steadily, look at the right time, trap it, and then gently pull it outward to help the fetus be delivered and complete the delivery." ”

"This ......" Even though the Empress Wu is extraordinary, it sounds somewhat fantastical.

Li Xuan continued to arch his hand and said, "This method is the last resort, and it can only be done. If you are familiar with it, you can have a 70% chance of rescuing the baby with a difficult birth and the mother can survive...... Even if the fetus is unlucky, then the mother can survive and avoid a difficult birth. ”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard fell silent at the same time, and even breathing was much lighter.

The last resort is to do it.

The fetus is unfortunate, and the mother survives.

Avoid two lives in one body.

These keywords gently fall into the ears of others, and others breathe a sigh of relief.

……

Empress Wu raised her head, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Have you used this thing?" ”

"Chen has never used it, but in Pengzhou and Nanchang County, over the years, dozens of pregnant women have used it." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "In fact, with this forceps, the surviving fetuses are close to ninety percent, and the mothers are even all alive. ”

"Then why, Hongu has never heard of this?" Empress Wu squinted slightly, her eyes faint.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Back to the Queen of Heaven, because the sequelae of this thing are serious. ”

Even more than a thousand years later, forceps are not readily available.

"What are the after-effects?" Empress Wu followed closely and asked.

"The skin of the fetus is delicate and the bones are fragile, after all, this thing is made of iron, and a little bit of force can cause skin bleeding and neck bone fractures. Even if you accidentally clip it on your head, even if you are lucky enough to survive, it will affect the baby's mind. ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "After all, this thing is from the hands of ghosts and gods, and once it is missed, it is in danger of damaging life, so this thing is only used in Pengzhou and Nanchang County, and only one or two stable women are familiar with it, so it has not expanded." ”

"But this thing, after all, will make the survival of the baby possible, and at the same time, it will allow the pregnant woman to survive."

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Even if the fetus dies this time, but the mother survives, then it can naturally be reborn."

What's more, it itself can allow the fetus to survive more, and it is used for dystocia, so why complain. ”

Difficult birth is the result of one corpse and two lives.

Now there is something that has a great chance of surviving both the fetus and the mother, and who would not use it.

Not to mention, this thing can save at least one, which is much better than one corpse and two lives.

"You're too cautious." Li Zhi glanced at Li Xuan and said, "This thing should have been presented a long time ago,"

"It's the minister who is stupid." Li Xuan immediately bowed his hand.

Although forceps are useful, in fact, if you are not careful, you are easy to be attacked and planted with the hat of conspiracy.

Especially that year, there happened to be a county king who was falsely accused of death, how dare Li Xuan be careless.

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Empress Wu and said, "Sort out all these things, and then find more than a dozen stable women and imperial doctors to study together, accumulate experience, and then send an edict to the whole country." ”

"The concubine is the order." Empress Wu immediately bowed slightly, her expression solemn.
