At this moment, Tang Wan in the side hall was also feeling extremely troubled.
The Third Prince’s Consort had gone into premature labor so suddenly that the midwives could not arrive in time.
Most terrifying of all, not only was it a premature birth — it was also a difficult labor!
The baby’s umbilical cord was wrapped around its neck, making natural delivery completely impossible!
Watching the Third Prince’s Consort gradually lose strength, even her cries becoming weaker and weaker, Ji Liu anxiously paced in circles. “County Lady Wengnai, what do we do now?”
Tang Wan made a decisive judgment at once. “Go inform the Third Prince and His Majesty that I need to perform a cesarean section!”
“Huh?” Ji Liu staggered backward in fright, nearly falling over. “Cut… cut open the abdomen to deliver the child?”
Th-th-th… then can the person still survive?
As though seeing through his doubts, Tang Wan patiently explained, “Back in Xiangxi Town, I also performed a cesarean delivery for Wei Gao’s wife. Both mother and child survived safely. The Third Prince’s Consort’s condition cannot be delayed any longer. The baby must be taken out immediately!”
Ji Liu: …
What did she mean taken out?
That was a person, not an object!
Wait!
What had Tang Wan just said?
Both mother and child survived after cutting open the abdomen?
Ji Liu immediately exclaimed, “I’ll go inform the Third Prince and His Majesty at once!”
With that, he hurriedly rushed out.
Though he was a little old man, he truly ran astonishingly fast!
In the main hall, the Emperor had just finished dealing with the Empress and was beginning to think about the Third Prince’s Consort, intending to go check on her.
At that moment, an enraged roar from the side hall suddenly rang out.
“What did you say? Cut open the abdomen to deliver the child? No! This prince refuses to allow it!”
The Emperor frowned and headed toward the side hall.
The gathered officials exchanged glances before silently following behind.
Just now, the Third Prince had mentioned something about cutting open the abdomen to deliver the child.
What was happening?
Were they planning to save the child and abandon the mother?
Before long, the Emperor and the others arrived at the side hall.
With so many people suddenly crowding in, even the spacious side hall felt cramped.
The moment the Third Prince saw the Emperor, it was like seeing his savior. He rushed over, dropped to his knees, clung to the Emperor’s leg, and cried miserably, “Father Emperor! County Lady Wengnai wants to kill this son’s consort!”
Ji Liu immediately panicked. “No, Third Prince! County Lady Wengnai said that cutting open the abdomen to deliver the child can guarantee the safety of both mother and child—”
“Stop lying to this prince!” the Third Prince roared, cutting him off. “Once the belly is cut open, how could anyone still survive? Father Emperor… wuwuwu… you absolutely cannot let County Lady Wengnai act recklessly!”
The Emperor: …
This useless thing was truly painful to watch!
And this fool still wanted to compete for the throne?
What was he dreaming about?
Back then, I lost so many children and still remained steady as a mountain.
Look at yourself — where exactly are you like me?
While the Emperor inwardly roasted his son nonstop, Tang Wan emerged from the room.
The Emperor immediately asked, “Wan-niang, what exactly do you mean by cutting open the abdomen to deliver the child? Can the Third Prince’s Consort still survive?”
“Father Emperor, you—”
“Shut up!”
The Third Prince still wanted to speak, but the Emperor impatiently cut him off and glared at him fiercely.
Third Prince: …
He shamefully backed down.
Only after the Third Prince quieted did the Emperor look back toward Tang Wan.
Tang Wan then explained, “If I perform the procedure now, I can guarantee the safety of both mother and child. But if we delay any longer, then even I cannot guarantee anything. Also, there’s something I need to discuss privately with Your Majesty and the Third Prince, so that if anything goes wrong later, you won’t blame me.”
The Emperor pondered for a moment before saying, “It’s getting late. Everyone unrelated should return and rest.”
Well then.
No more excitement to watch.
The officials could only helplessly take their leave.
Every single one of them looked at Tang Wan with extremely complicated expressions.
Cutting open the abdomen to deliver a child, and the person could still survive?
What kind of joke was that?
Still, they would know the result soon enough.
If Tang Wan truly possessed such ability, then in the future, whenever anyone fell ill or suffered from pain, they could seek her treatment.
