Chapter 313 Consort Li Gives Birth
Seeing that Qi Zhi and Yelü Yuanxiu were fighting fiercely, especially since Qi Zhi was almost killing them, something bad was bound to happen if this continued.
Xiao Heng was extremely anxious and shouted, "Stop it, all of you!"
But these two wouldn't listen to him.
So Xiao Heng rushed over and grabbed Qi Zhi's arm. Qi Zhi was in a bloodthirsty frenzy and instinctively threw a punch at Xiao Heng when he was pulled. Xiao Heng reacted quickly and dodged to the side.
At this moment, Yelü Yuanxiu also stopped, panting heavily, glaring angrily at Qi Zhi, and was about to attack again. However, Qi Zhi did not retaliate, but simply retreated. When Yelü Yuanxiu was about to hit him, he grabbed Yelü Yuanxiu's arm with one hand, "Let's stop here for today. I acted impulsively just now and have offended you."
Qi Zhi immediately yielded, leaving Yelü Yuanxiu with nothing to say. He merely snorted coldly and broke free from Qi Zhi's grasp, completely unaware that Qi Zhi had just inserted an extremely thin silver needle into his meridians.
The farce ended badly, and the feud between Yelü Yuanxiu and Qi Zhi only grew stronger.
Meanwhile, Consort Li's situation was also extremely critical.
Previously, Consort Lin had only been administering medicine in the palace. People in the palace knew that Consort Lin was skilled in medicine, but they did not know the extent of her skill.
"Greetings, Consort Lin." The imperial physicians in Consort Li's palace all bowed.
"No need for formalities. How are you doing, sister? What medicine have you been taking?" As she spoke, she had her personal maid help her put on a white outer robe.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" He Zhizhong, the consul of the Imperial Medical Bureau, asked with a puzzled look.
"By His Majesty's decree, Consort Lin shall treat Consort Li!" Eunuch Wei announced at the opportune moment.
The other imperial physicians exchanged glances upon hearing this. It wasn't that they looked down on women; Jing Kingdom also had female physicians. They simply didn't know how skilled Consort Lin was in medicine. After all, Consort Li was carrying royal blood, and no mistakes could be tolerated.
"Hmm?" Seeing their ambiguous and hesitant manner, Consort Lin understood their meaning. Her voice rose a few decibels, "Imperial Physician He, I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?"
As she spoke, she walked inside. The white curtain was lifted, and the smell of blood became even stronger. But Consort Lin did not blink. Consort Li on the bed was as pale as paper, and her hair was already soaked with sweat. It seemed that she had already been through a lot.
Given the urgency of the situation and the fact that Consort Lin had come on the Emperor's orders, He Zhizhong had no time to worry about anything else and recounted the events that had transpired.
Consort Lin took Consort Li's pulse; it was weak and feeble. She then lifted Consort Li's eyelids to examine her closely. The acupuncture and medication were all correct, especially the labor-inducing drug, which was used with utmost care. Now that Consort Li had suddenly fainted, the problem lay with the poison.
Right now, we can't worry about the poison anymore; saving the lives of the mother and child is the most important thing. We can only use the method our master taught us.
Consort Lin took a deep breath and quickly took out silver needles from her medicine box. She precisely inserted them into several acupoints on Consort Li's body, stimulating the acupoints with the silver needles to keep Consort Li alive. One needle, two needles... until all ten needles were inserted, Consort Li finally slowly woke up again.
"Sister, listen to me. Don't speak now. Save all your energy for the child."
Hearing Consort Lin's voice, Consort Li felt as if her body weighed a ton. She didn't have the strength to speak, but when she thought of the child in her womb, she held back and obeyed Consort Lin's instructions.
She was afraid, afraid that Consort Lin might have other intentions, but at this point, there was nothing she could do.
Meanwhile, Consort Lin began to gently massage Consort Li's abdomen with steady and rhythmic movements. As she massaged, she instructed the midwives to observe between Consort Li's legs, ready to welcome the birth of the child at any time.
The imperial physicians waited anxiously outside, barely daring to breathe.
Time passed slowly, and Consort Li's belly moved slightly, as if she was reacting.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Consort Lin's forehead, but her hands moved without faltering. As Consort Lin moved, Consort Li's breathing gradually became rapid, her stomach throbbed rhythmically, and her lower abdomen was in excruciating pain. However, due to her lack of strength, she could only gasp and groan softly. The bedsheets were already torn to shreds, a testament to her suffering.
Finally, with a faint cry, the baby was born.
Consort Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, a look of immense relief on her face.
Everyone was stunned at first, then reacted and knelt down, shouting: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on the safe birth of the little prince!"
Consort Lin hurriedly sent someone to inform Emperor Jing.
At this moment, Consort Li exhausted her last bit of strength and fainted again.
