Children of Loulan

Chapter 408 Dystocia

His tone was very cold: "Also, quickly send someone to investigate this girl's family background and see who else is in her family. If you can find any relatives, bring them here together to suffer with her; if her background is as clean as a blank sheet of paper and she can't even find any relatives, then I will thoroughly investigate who is behind this to erase her background so cleanly!"

Hearing this, Ziya did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly bowed to the master respectfully, and then waved his right hand. Two strong guards flashed in front of him like ghosts, and without saying a word, they grabbed the palace maid's arms tightly and dragged her away from the spot without mercy, just like dragging a lifeless dead dog.

At this moment, the maid's face, which was originally full of provocation and disdain, had long disappeared, replaced by deep fear and despair. Her beautiful eyes were now wide open, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, filled with fear, and her body was shaking uncontrollably, as if she had foreseen the cruel punishment she was about to face.

A few hours passed quickly, and the head of the hospital, Tohewu, was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat with his sleeves and walked out of the delivery room with a staggering step. He came to Keremu, bowed deeply, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is in labor... She has drunk three bowls of labor-inducing medicine, but the baby in her belly has not been born yet. I, an old minister... I am really helpless!"

Hearing this, Keremu's heart suddenly tightened, and a chill instantly surged into his heart. He widened his eyes, his face was frighteningly gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this? What do you mean there is no way? I warn you, if anything happens to the Crown Princess, I will make your entire Imperial Hospital bury her with her! No one will survive!"

Facing the furious Keremu, Tuohewu was so frightened that he trembled all over, his legs were weak and he could hardly stand. He replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, please calm down and listen to me. In my humble opinion, if we want to save the Crown Princess and the baby in her belly, I'm afraid we have to ask the Imperial Master for help!"

Keremu asked with a look of doubt on his face: "Please ask the imperial teacher?" His thick black eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Tohewu, who was standing aside, quickly replied: "That's right. The Imperial Master is a great Taoist master in the Tang Dynasty, and his medical skills are superb! As long as we can invite him here, saving the Crown Princess will be no problem!" As he spoke, Tohewu nodded vigorously, as if he was very confident in his proposal.

After listening to this, Keremu quickly turned his head and shouted to the guards behind him: "Quick, take my token and go and invite the imperial master as soon as possible! There must be no mistakes!" His voice was loud and urgent, with unquestionable majesty.

A guard behind him immediately said respectfully: "Yes!" and then ran out quickly, because the guard knew that this matter could not be delayed and he had to "run."

Hearing the Crown Prince's decisive order to invite the Imperial Master, Tohewu, who had been tense all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly stepped back. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking secretly in his heart.

Tohewu was already over 70 years old, and he should have been at home enjoying his old age. However, the king was reluctant to let him go home, so he had to endure such a shock here. In fact, he was not completely helpless about the Crown Princess's current situation.

However, with his current ability, he could only save one of them at most. No matter whether he chose to save the elder or the younger, he would not be able to escape punishment in the end. So after weighing the pros and cons, he suggested to the prince that he ask the imperial teacher to come out in person.

Not long after, the highly respected national teacher appeared in the eager anticipation of everyone. He walked slowly with light and steady steps, and his extraordinary and immortal temperament was as eye-catching as ever. It was as if time had stopped for him, and the years had not left the slightest mark. His face was still as clear and handsome as before, and his charm was as elegant as an immortal descending to the earth.

When the Imperial Master came before Keremu, Keremu hurried forward, and said respectfully: "Master Imperial Master, could you please come over here and check on the Crown Princess' current condition?"

The Imperial Master nodded slightly, his expression calm and composed, without saying a word, he just replied softly: "Okay, I'll go and find out what's going on." After that, he flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he had flashed into the delivery room as fast as a ghost.

At this moment, the delivery room was filled with tension and anxiety, because Hanguli had been through several hours of long and painful torture. In order to induce labor, she drank three doses of powerful abortion drugs, but the fetus in her belly was reluctant to come into the world. After such a long period of torture, Hanguli was already exhausted and weak to the extreme. Her face was as pale as paper and she was barely breathing.

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Master quickly walked to the bedside, stretched out his slender fingers and gently placed them on Hanguli's slender wrist, holding his breath and concentrating on diagnosing her pulse. After a moment, he frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something unusual.

Then, he raised his left hand calmly, slowly reached into his wide sleeve pocket, and took out a small and exquisite jade medicine bottle. He opened the bottle cap, and a faint and elegant fragrance immediately wafted out.

The Imperial Master carefully poured out a crystal clear pill from it, and then handed it to the anxiously waiting Madam Ba, and said in a deep voice: "Feed her this pill quickly."

Mama Ba knew the situation was urgent and dared not delay for a moment. She carefully picked up the bowl of medicine with a strong aroma and walked quickly to Hanguli's bed. She saw that Hanguli's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were closed, and her breath was so weak that it seemed that she would die at any time.

Mammy Ba gently lifted Hanguli up, put the pill close to her lips, and slowly put it into her mouth. Then, she quickly picked up the warm water cup that had been prepared at the side, tilted it gently, and let the warm water flow down Hanguli's throat, helping her swallow the pill smoothly.

Time passed by bit by bit, and everyone was watching Hanguli nervously. Just when everyone was worried, a miracle happened - just a moment after taking the medicine, Hanguli's eyes, which were originally tightly closed, opened slightly, and her consciousness began to gradually wake up. At the same time, her limbs, which had originally been powerless, seemed to have regained strength and were able to move a little.

Madam Ba's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, and a look of relief immediately appeared on her face. She asked softly, "Madam, are you feeling better?"

Hanguli turned her head with difficulty. When she saw the Imperial Master standing beside the bed with a concerned look on his face, a warm current surged in her heart. She used all her strength and said weakly, "Thank you, Imperial Master..."

The Imperial Master bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully, "You are too polite, Princess Consort." As he spoke, he reached into his sleeve pocket, fumbled for a while, and then took out a brightly colored, round and smooth pill. This pill exuded a strange fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.
