The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 277 King Jing Returns

Xie Run's gaze fell on the girl in the front, and his tone became a little deeper, "What do you want?!"

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried out in tears: "I'm afraid I'll have to have a caesarean section..."

The maidservant couldn't remember the long paragraph of professional terms Xie Jiang said, she only heard the two words "caesarean section".

In ancient times, these two words were no different from massacre.

Not to mention this maid, the entire Qingsong Courtyard was frightened.

Even the imperial physician who was treating the princess together with Xie Jiang was shocked.

When Xie Run entered the dormitory, he heard the two people arguing.

"No!"

"Although Divine Doctor Xie once performed a cesarean section to deliver a child, how could the princess take such a huge risk like an ordinary woman?"

Xie Jiang didn't like to waste time and asked directly, "The baby can't be aborted and the bleeding symptoms have continued. If it is delayed any further, it will definitely be in danger of death."

"You'll die sooner or later. Using my method, there's still a chance of survival. Otherwise... you come?!"

The imperial physician's face flushed with anger. "Isn't a cesarean section also a life-or-death struggle?"

"If something happens to the princess, who will take responsibility?!"

Xie Jiang never indulged anyone, and said coldly: "Then you will continue to drag it out and drag her to death?!"

The imperial physician was so embarrassed that his face turned red.

Xie Jiang said coldly, "Every moment you talk nonsense, she'll be in more danger."

"Instead of dawdling and potentially killing her, why not give it a try? At least there's still a chance of survival!"

"Whether to have the surgery or not is up to you."

After Xie Jiang finished speaking, he found a stool and sat down without showing any fear.

Mother Li and others looked anxious and confused.

The imperial physician stood there with a complicated expression.

Just as Xie Run was about to go in, he heard the princess, her face sweating, shouting, "Caesarean section!"

Mother Li cried out heartbreakingly, "Master!"

The veins on the princess's neck were bulging with pain, and her face was as pale as if it were covered with a layer of lead powder, all covered with sweat.

She endured the pain and said, "Don't hesitate, I want to live!"

"Thank you, Doctor. Just go ahead and do it. Even if it means risking my life, I will give it a try just for this little chance of survival!"

Just at this moment, the second young lady in the ear room suddenly burst into tears.

The princess's gaze slowly shifted towards the side room, "Mom, go check on Duan Jing..."

Mother Li wiped her tears and said, "I will go and comfort the Second Young Lady right away. Master, don't worry... don't worry."

Mother Li ran to the side room to comfort the Second Young Miss, tears streaming down her face as she soothed her: "The Second Young Miss has always been well-behaved and never cries at night. But tonight she suddenly cried and made a scene. Could it be that she knew the princess was in danger and was worried?"

The wet nurse and maidservants who were serving nearby also wiped their tears after hearing this.

After the princess made up her mind, Xie Jiang began to arrange the operation scene.

Xie Run asked her quietly, "Sister, how sure are you about this?"

Even though he knew that Xie Jiang had the aura of a heroine and that her surgeries had never failed in the original script, Xie Run still couldn't help but worry.

Worried about Xie Jiang, worried about the princess, and even more worried about myself.

Xie Jiang glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best."

Hearing the word "rest assured", Xie Run felt inexplicably relieved.

"Sister, please let me know if you need any help. I will do my best to cooperate."

Xie Jiang was not polite and drove almost everyone out, leaving only the imperial physician as an assistant.

Xie Run knew that the most important thing for night surgery was light.

He immediately asked someone to fetch candles from the warehouse and light them.

Basins of blood came out from the back of the dormitory, making people's scalps numb with fear.

Everyone held their breath, trying to hear some movement from the dormitory in the back, but it was too safe.

When the abortion drug was used, one could still hear the princess's cries of pain and the occasional comforting voices of the maids and servants.

Now when it comes to the caesarean section, it is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

Many people were worried and suspicious.

Is this princess...still alive?

Xie Run couldn't let her guard down. When she heard the news that Qiuxiang had left from the East Corner Gate with the eldest son, she felt a darkness before her eyes.

"Qiuxiang has always been steady. She suddenly took the Third Young Master away from the mansion. I'm afraid she didn't act on her own initiative, but Fang Yuan'er had already given her instructions."

Xie Run was not surprised that Fang Yuan'er could guess that there would be a war in Prince Jing's Mansion.

She just didn't expect that Fang Yuan'er would sneak out of the house with the third young master by her side.

If the child is safe, then you should naturally feel lucky.

If it’s not stable... Xie Run suddenly felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

How come Fang Yuaner and Wan Linlang are so capable of causing trouble?

Xie Run: "Send the message to Guard Jin and have him take people to search for the Third Young Master immediately."

"Now that the crisis in the palace has been resolved, I'm afraid someone might take advantage of the situation..." Xie Run said simply, "In that case, wake up everyone in each courtyard and let them search the courtyard themselves."

"Gather the servants from all over the place and form them into teams to search for the Third Young Master in all directions ahead."

"Yes!"

As the orders came down one after another, Xie Run felt extremely complicated.

Tonight's night was particularly difficult. When the morning light shone through the window, Xie Run nodded and was awakened again.

She forced herself to stand up despite her fatigue. "What time is it?"

Dan Tao replaced the strong tea on the table for her and said softly, "It's three quarters past midnight."

"How's the situation, Princess?"

Dan Tao shook her head. "Thank you, Doctor Xie, for telling us not to let anyone in casually. We servants don't dare to ask around."

"It's so quiet inside, I can't hear any movement."

Xie Run: "In the current situation, no movement is the best movement."

She asked again: "Have you found the Third Young Master?"

"We didn't find the Third Young Master, but we did find the First Young Master."

Xie Run opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at Dan Tao in confusion: "Young Master?!"

"What has he done again?!"

"I just received a message. I saw you were sleeping, so I didn't disturb you." Dan Tao said softly, "The nurse who was taking care of the eldest master heard the noise in the front yard, so she quietly brought two maids and carried the eldest master into the inner courtyard through the second gate."

"Who knew they fell when passing the Moon-Watching Pavilion? Both of them were covered in bruises. The eldest son's leg seems to be broken as well. The palace doctor is currently checking his pulse."

Xie Run looked at Dan Tao quietly: "I sent a message to the backyard, asking them to stay quiet, but I forgot to send a few words to the front yard."

"The new wet nurse is soft-tempered and has no opinions of her own. How could she have the determination to carry the eldest young master to the inner courtyard?"

Dan Tao nodded: "I am also confused. I have already sent someone to ask."

It was such a coincidence.

Xie Run actually suspected that it was Concubine Sun's revenge, but without a shred of evidence, she didn't say anything.

"After taking the pulse, have the court doctor come to Qingsong Court to discuss the eldest young master's condition."

"Slave, go and give your orders now."

Dan Tao glanced at the tea on the table and said, "It's already dawn, Master, please don't drink it..."

Xie Run had never endured this before. She picked up the freshly brewed tea and took a sip. It was so bitter that it made the root of her tongue numb.

"I have to drink. I have to wait for news from the princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew in from the door.

By the time Xie Run reacted, King Jing, dressed in military uniform, had already strode in. "What's the situation in the palace?"
