Chapter 244 3nd Pregnancy
"Greetings, Madam Fu, Lord Fu, and Madam Fu." Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan bowed to Fu Xuequan.
"No need to be so polite, two imperial doctors. Please take a seat." Fu Xuequan waved at the two of them, motioning them to sit down.
"Thank you." After expressing their gratitude, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan sat down on the guest seats.
"Imperial Physician Xu, Imperial Physician Bai, I asked you to come here because of my daughter-in-law." Mrs. Fu said to the two of them.
"I wonder if Madam Fu is feeling unwell?" Xu Qingyi asked after looking at Madam Fu.
"It's like this, after my daughter-in-law became pregnant, her belly got bigger and bigger day by day. The imperial physician examined her and the midwife felt her fetus, and they said she was pregnant with her third child.
To be honest, I was very happy when I heard that my daughter-in-law was pregnant with her third child. It is also great news for our Fu family.
However, as the pregnancy progressed, my daughter-in-law's belly became extremely large and even began to hurt.
Before, the imperial physician and the midwife had taken my daughter-in-law's pulse and felt the fetus, and they both said that the birth would not be easy.
We are worried about our daughter-in-law's health, so we specially invited two imperial doctors to come and take a look." Madam Fu told them the whole story.
"Yes, please, two imperial doctors, please save my wife!" Fu Xuequan said, and bowed deeply to the two of them.
"How many months pregnant are you now? When is the due date?" Bai Yan hadn't examined Madam Fu's body thoroughly yet, but seeing her like this, he knew that the situation was not good.
"It's been seven months, and the due date is early November. But recently, I have had some bleeding in my lower body and I feel very uncomfortable." Mrs. Fu replied weakly.
"Help him to lie down on the bed immediately. From now on, he can only lie on his side, not flat on his back.
Eat and drink in bed. If it is not necessary, do not get out of bed. Stay in bed." Bai Yan and Xu Qingyi looked at each other and knew that Madam Fu's situation was not optimistic.
"Yes." Fu Xuequan hurriedly ordered the servants to help Madam Fu to the bed, and then looked at Bai Yan and Xu Qingyi nervously.
After arriving in the inner room, Bai Yan took a deep breath and began to carefully check Mrs. Fu's pulse, then reached into her abdomen and felt around. As she checked, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and it was obvious that the situation was worse than she had initially expected.
"What's going on?" Xu Qingyi asked Bai Yan.
"Let's talk outside." Bai Yan said after looking at Madam Fu Shao.
"What's wrong?" Fu Xuequan asked impatiently after everyone arrived at the outer hall.
Bai Yan sighed and said, "The situation is not good. Madam Fu's pulse is very weak, and the three fetuses are absorbing a lot of maternal nutrition. If the mother's nutrition cannot keep up, I'm afraid both mother and child will be in danger.
Pregnant women who are pregnant with twins usually do not give birth to their babies at full term, so they should be prepared to give birth early.”
"Premature delivery?" Fu Xuemen's face tensed up. He didn't expect it to be so serious. He asked hurriedly, "What should we do? Will the mother and child be in danger?"
"When a woman gives birth, she is walking through the gates of hell. I will prescribe some nourishing medicinal food and soup for her to take every day.
Secondly, Mrs. Fu needs to rest and not be overworked, let alone have any emotional fluctuations. Finally, we need to pay attention to her physical condition at all times, and if there are signs of labor, we must prepare for delivery immediately.
As for the rest, we'll leave it to fate." Bai Yan was also a little thorny about these situations.
"Can't a caesarean section be done?" asked Xu Qingyi on the side.
“Yes, but the risk is not small.
If a third child is born, the fetus will stay in the pregnant woman's body for a longer time. After birth, it will be beneficial for the child to grow up and will not be weak and sickly.
If it's a natural birth, I'm confident that I can get the baby delivered." Bai Yan said after hesitating for a moment.
"Okay, since you are good at production, you can take charge and I will help you.
In addition, in case of any emergency, we must be prepared for both situations.
Prepare for a natural birth on one hand and a caesarean section on the other, just in case." Xu Qingyi nodded.
"Okay, I'll be ready." Bai Yan nodded and agreed.
"During this period of time, I will ask the maids in the mansion to keep an eye on my wife's health condition at all times, and inform the two doctors immediately if there is any problem." Fu Xuequan began to make arrangements.
"We come here every two days to take her pulse and check her body. On weekdays, we just need to pay more attention to Madam Fu's condition at night.
In addition, Madam Fu must not be without someone by her side for twelve hours and must have someone guarding her.
Also, if anything happens, notify Qingyi and me immediately." After prescribing the medicine, Bai Yan solemnly instructed the Fu family before leaving.
.........
In the cold palace.
"Mother." The moment the eldest prince saw his mother, complex emotions flashed across his eyes, a mixture of uneasiness, guilt, and deep longing.
The eldest prince walked quickly towards her, wanting to reach out and hold her hand, but stopped at the moment he was about to touch her, as if he was afraid that his action would disturb her.
"You're here, but you shouldn't have come." Concubine Wu's voice was low and hoarse. She had only been locked up in the cold palace for a month, and it seemed as if the years and loneliness had worn away her former crispness and beauty.
"Mother, I..." The eldest prince wanted to say something but felt he had no idea where to start.
"I know what you want to say. If your father knew you were here, he would be very angry." Concubine Wu interrupted him. She sighed softly, as if releasing the heaviness in her heart. "You have tried your best. Mother knows that perhaps only when you take that position can Mother leave this cold palace."
When the eldest prince heard this, he felt mixed emotions. He understood what his mother meant, and also understood his own powerlessness and helplessness.
His eyes became firm, as if he had made some kind of determination.
"Mother, I will do my best to get you out of this cold palace as soon as possible." The eldest prince bowed deeply and turned to leave. He knew that his road would be full of hardships and difficulties, but he was ready.
"Mother will help you sit in that position." Concubine Wu looked at the eldest prince's departing back, her eyes full of determination.
"As long as you can sit in that position, everything I have paid for will be worth it." Concubine Wu whispered, her voice echoing in the empty cold palace, sounding extremely cold.
However, her heart was full of strength, which was the desire for power, the expectation for her son, and the belief in herself.
The eldest prince returned to his palace. He sat in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He recalled his mother's words, and those words were like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into his heart.
