Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: 1051: Difficult Labor

“No more nonsense!”

Su Yingxue covered her face with a handkerchief, the horsewhip cracked through the air, and she hurried to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion’s rear courtyard with Su Miaoyan in tow.

Inside, some figures were already bustling about.

On seeing Su Yingxue arrive on horseback, Su Han’s soul was nearly scared out of her, “Yingxue, have you lost your mind? Couldn’t you have come by carriage? You actually rode a horse!”

“Sister, stop talking. Hurry and take me to Sister Jinyan!” Su Yingxue pulled her towards the yard.

Although Su Han was still shaken, she remained composed and led Su Yingxue to Wu Jinyan’s door, where Manager Qi had been waiting.

Having not seen Su Yingxue for a long time, he immediately bowed his hands in respect upon her arrival, “Miss!”

Then, remembering that Chu Yihan had declared to all that he would crown Su Yingxue as empress, he quickly lifted his robe and knelt down, changing his address, “Your Majesty, the empress.”

“That’s enough, Manager Qi. Spare the formalities at this time. How is my sister doing?” Su Yingxue pulled him back to his feet.

Manager Qi replied, “Miss Wu didn’t take proper care of herself in the early stages. The child is certain to be born prematurely, but I’ve already let Dr. Qin in, and he is currently attending to her.”

“Although Dr. Qin is highly skilled in medicine, there are many inconveniences. Sister, call him out so I can inquire about the situation.”

Su Yingxue gripped Su Han’s hand tightly.

Su Han called Dr. Qin Ming out, and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. “Your Majesty, the empress, Miss Wu’s condition is not good. The baby’s position is incorrect, causing difficulties in childbirth right now.”

“Ah!”

Inside, Wu Jinyan let out a painful scream, indicating the extent of her agony.

“Manager Qi, did you bring the surgical masks, gloves, and other surgical equipment?”

Su Yingxue looked intently at him.

Manager Qi nodded and quickly moved a box over, “As per your instructions, our clinic has always had someone learn and research surgery, and Mr. Ruan has been teaching our doctors.”

Su Yingxue nodded, “Okay, I’ll go in and stay with Sister Jinyan. If she can’t deliver naturally, I’ll perform the surgery on her.”

“What? You are going to perform the surgery?” Su Han was shocked and stood in her way, “You can’t do this! Yingxue, you’re four months pregnant yourself. How can you exert so much effort? According to the rules, you shouldn’t even enter the birthing room!”

“Sister, how can we care about rules now? If the baby’s position is incorrect, Sister Jinyan won’t be able to give birth naturally, and both she and the child won’t survive!”

Between Su Yingxue’s brows was a touch of seriousness. At this moment, she was not just Wu Jinyan’s dear friend. To save both Wu Jinyan and her child for Su Hao, she was also a doctor!

A doctor who couldn’t stand by and watch a pregnant woman die before her!

“This… No! Even if surgery is necessary, it can’t be you! What if something happens to you and the child? How could you bear the consequences?”

Su Han shook her head. She admitted that she was being somewhat selfish, but Su Yingxue and the child in her womb were far too precious to risk any mishap.

They were beyond comparison to anyone else!

Inside, Wu Jinyan’s painful cries continued. She was like a person isolated and helpless in the deep sea, calling out the names she could, “Yingxue, Sister Han, save… save my child!”

Su Yingxue charged in with Su Han.

In the birthing room, the stench of blood was overwhelming. The little creature in Su Yingxue’s stomach almost made her vomit. She forced herself to suppress the nausea and approached Wu Jinyan’s bed.

Wu Jinyan desperately clutched at her hand, her drenched hair clinging to her face, and she pleaded through her tears, “Yingxue, save my child, save my child!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
