Su Muqing and Lin Rongrong ran towards the backyard anxiously. As they passed the corridor, they heard a lot of noise coming from the backyard.
"Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet? I almost scared to death when I heard the madam's scream."
"Yes! Ading and Ali have been gone for so long, why haven't they returned? And the old madam, she went to invite the midwife and hasn't returned yet."
"The amniotic fluid broke so long ago, do you think the young master will be alright?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Don't talk nonsense! If the general, the old prince, and the old madam hear you, they will definitely blame you!"
Su Muqing's hearing was excellent. She heard the maids and servants talking at the backyard entrance. It seemed that Su Cuiping was indeed in trouble, and the breaking of the amniotic fluid meant she was about to give birth…
The maids and servants pointed and gestured at Su Muqing and the others as they directly pushed open the main bedroom door.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know! I've been in the general's mansion for so long, I've never seen these two before."
In the bedroom, Su Cuiping was still screaming in pain. Leng Kui anxiously pulled open the door and roared loudly.
"Has the doctor returned? Your Majesty… Your Majesty, you came so quickly, hurry and check on Cuiping! She's in so much pain she can't speak, I'm so scared, scared that she…" Seeing Su Muqing arrive, Leng Kui felt a bit more relieved.
Seeing the pale and flustered Leng Kui, Su Muqing patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Don't worry too much. I'll go in and see Sister Cuiping now, she'll be fine."
Su Muqing walked to the bedside and saw the person lying on the bed. Su Cuiping was in unbearable pain, curled up on the bed like a big shrimp, her clothes almost soaked with sweat.
"Sister Cuiping, Sister Cuiping, it's me, Muqing. Relax a little, I'll examine you now." Su Muqing gently stroked Su Cuiping's back while channeling healing energy into her to alleviate the labor pains in her abdomen.
Su Cuiping's expression was very pained. She bit her lip, trying her best to control herself from crying out. With Su Muqing's hand on her back, she finally felt the pain in her body gradually dissipate.
After Su Cuiping completely relaxed her body, Su Muqing laid her flat on the bed and lifted her clothes. Using the space detector, she began to examine her carefully.
Not good! Both Su Cuiping and the baby were in critical condition. The fetus was in the wrong position, the amniotic fluid was contaminated, and the most dangerous was that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck three times, showing signs of oxygen deprivation.
The pregnant woman's physical condition was also very poor. Not only were her blood pressure and blood sugar all exceeding normal values, but her bile acid had also surged to ten times higher than that of a normal pregnant woman. This situation was extremely critical.
Su Muqing's expression was not good after the examination. Fortunately, she had returned this time, otherwise Sister Cuiping would have been in grave danger. "Rongrong, guard the door and do not let anyone approach the bedroom. When Uncle and Aunt return, tell them I am performing surgery on Sister Cuiping and ask them to wait with peace of mind, without disturbing us. Third Brother Leng, you will assist me with Sister Cuiping's surgery."
Leng Kui understood from Su Muqing's expression that this matter was definitely troublesome. He reached out and touched Su Cuiping's cheek, tidying her sweat-soaked hair. He told himself that he had to remain calm; Cuiping must not have any accidents…
He calmed himself and picked up Su Cuiping horizontally. Su Muqing grabbed his sleeve as he held her steady. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were in the space, and Leng Kui placed her on the hospital bed.
Su Muqing thoroughly disinfected herself and Leng Kui, then changed into sterile surgical gowns. After changing, Leng Kui went to comfort the dazed Su Cuiping, while Su Muqing prepared the necessary items for the surgery.
In fact, she could perform this surgery alone and didn't need Leng Kui to be present, as he couldn't help her at all. However, Su Cuiping was bearing children for him, so Su Muqing felt it was necessary to let Leng Kui witness firsthand how much effort Su Cuiping was putting in.
After all the preparation work such as scrubbing, anesthesia, and disinfection, Su Muqing pinched Su Cuiping's big toe. "Sister Cuiping, do you feel anything?"
"I don't feel anything, what did you do to me?" Su Cuiping shook her head, looking listless.
She was already drowsy from exhaustion, and after the medication, her lower body began to feel numb and cold. She unconsciously started to shiver, faintly feeling Su Muqing smearing something on her belly, but the sensation was very mild.
Feeling her shivering all over, Su Muqing smiled reassuringly at her. "It's nothing, don't be too nervous, you'll be fine with me here. I'm going to disinfect you now, the surgery will start soon, and you'll be able to see your baby soon."
After comforting Su Cuiping, Su Muqing said to Leng Kui with a serious expression, "Third Brother Leng, just sit here and stay with Sister Cuiping. Try to chat about happy things with her, and make sure she stays awake. If anything feels wrong, you must inform me immediately."
"Okay! I understand." Leng Kui brought a stool and sat by Su Cuiping's bedside. He stroked her face and chatted with her, reminiscing about happy moments they had shared.
Although Su Cuiping didn't speak much, she listened to Leng Kui with a smile. Scenes of their time together constantly flashed through her mind.
There were memories of their playful interactions on the road while searching for medicine, memories of their hard work and fighting side-by-side during the construction of Huaxia City, and the most vivid memory should be of their wedding, with guests filling the venue, the wedding carriage parading through the streets, and the wedding night.
Recalling these scenes, Su Cuiping's eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. She couldn't believe that in just three years, she and Leng Kui had accumulated so many beautiful memories.
Su Cuiping felt very fortunate, and now that they were about to have their own baby, their future life would only get better, and they would surely live happily!
Seeing that Su Cuiping's emotions were stable, Su Muqing picked up the scalpel and concentrated on performing the caesarean section. Following the instructions from the detector, she carefully cut through Su Cuiping's skin and flesh layer by layer until the final step.
After cutting through Su Cuiping's uterus, Su Muqing saw the placenta enclosing the fetus. Since most of the amniotic fluid had been released, she could clearly see the baby's small face.
Su Muqing carefully reached out, peeled off the amniotic sac, and brought out the baby. The baby's neck was tightly wrapped by the umbilical cord, and its entire body was purplish-red from suffocation. After being brought out, it did not cry.
