Chapter 1208: Helped with the Birth

Yinzhen was very on edge now, so when he heard what Lady Niohuru said, he frowned. “She’s just a maid who knows a little medicine. She shouldn’t go in to cause more trouble.”

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lady Niohuru’s face. “This concubine had spoken out of turn.”

Ning Shu felt pretty helpless. It seemed that there was no way for her to get inside.

The midwife lifted the curtain and hurriedly walked out to kneel in front of Yinzhen. She said fearfully, “Prince, the lady is having a difficult birth. The child’s foot has come out.”

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, then he wiped at his face and said coldly, “Do all you can to save the child.”

“Lady, allow this servant to have a try.” Ning Shu was really panicking now.

Lady Niohuru whispered in an annoyed tone, “You heard what she said. It’s a difficult birth!”

Ning Shu could hear Lady Song’s soft groans come from inside the room. She seemed extremely very weak.

Lady Niohuru rubbed her forehead in irritation, but she then said to Yinzhen, “Prince, please just allow this concubine’s maid to give it a try.”

Yinzhen waved his hand without even lifting his head to allow Ning Shu to go in. It was clear that he was just desperate enough to try anything by now.

The moment Ning Shu lifted the curtain, she was. .h.i.t with the stench of blood. Lady Song was lying on the bed, her face pale as she moaned weakly in pain.

Ning Shu glanced down and found that the baby’s foot had come out first. If she didn’t fix the position of the child, there was no way for the child to be born. The ancient era didn’t have caesarean section technology. If she cut a hole open in someone’s stomach without anesthetic, the patient would just die from the pain.

Ning Shu took the ginseng in the box and cut a piece to place in Lady Song’s mouth.

Following that, she got an embroidery needle to p.r.i.c.k the child’s foot. Before she could though, the midwife next to her grabbed her hand and demanded, “What are you doing?”

Ning Shu shook off the midwife’s hand and p.r.i.c.ked the child’s foot with the needle. A bead of blood immediately appeared on the child’s foot and then the foot retracted.

When the child retracted, Lady Song groaned with pain. Her facial color became even more pale and large beads of sweat covered her forehead. Lady Song’s personal maid, Hong Mei, was currently helping wipe her sweat.

Ning Shu was relieved that the foot was now back in Lady Song’s stomach. She then placed her hands on the stomach to adjust the position of the child.

This was Ning Shu’s first time helping a woman give birth so she was also quite nervous. The other midwives were now also helping her.

“Ah...” Lady Song cried out in pain.

Ning Shu was so busy that she was covered with sweat. The candles in the room had already burned down to nothing and the sky had already brightened.

However, fortunately, Lady Song’s baby was born safely. It was a very skinny girl. After she came out, she only cried a few times before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Ning Shu wiped the bloodstains on the child, then wrapped the child up. A midwife took the child from Ning Shu and lifted the curtain to go outside and report this happy news.

Ning Shu took a silver needle from the doctor’s medicine box and gave Lady Song a bit of acupuncture before lifting the curtain and walking to Lady Niohuru’s side.

Lady Niohuru looked towards Ning Shu in slight surprise and whispered, “Is Lady Song alright?”

“She’s fine.”

Yinzhen was a little disappointed to find that the child was a girl. When he saw the extremely thin and weak child, his brows furrowed even more.

This child was very skinny and weak. On top of that, while Lady Song was pregnant, she didn’t take good care of her own health and kept raising ruckuses, so the child was born malnourished.

When the doctor said that the child needed to be looked after carefully, Yinzhen rubbed his forehead in irritation. He hadn’t slept for an entire night, and now he was also disappointed, so he just turned and left.

Lady Ula Nara told the people in the courtyard to take good care of Lady Song.

Lady Ula Nara left, so the other concubines left as well. Lady Niohuru glanced at Ning Shu, then left Lady Song’s courtyard.

“Miao Ling, you actually do know medicine. How did you do it?” asked Lady Niohuru.

Ning Shu just said that she had p.r.i.c.ked the child’s foot with a needle.

Lady Niohuru looked at Ning Shu for a good while. “If you have this ability, why would Lady Song want to get rid of you?”

Ning Shu felt rather helpless again when this was brought up and she said, “Lady Song didn’t like this servant.”

Lady Niohuru smiled without saying anything. After returning to her courtyard, she didn’t go straight to bed and instead, cleaned up a little, then went to pay her respects to Lady Ula Nara.

Lady Ula Nara had everyone who came to pay aspects head back. After all, everyone had stayed up all night.
