The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 14: Queen's Pressure

After Lan Rufeng felt her pulse on one hand, he asked Lan Ruyu to take her pulse on the other hand. He found nothing wrong with her pulse and found it was steady and strong. He took back the hand towel and said, "Crown Princess, can you lie on the couch and let me check the condition of the fetus in your belly?"

"Help the Crown Princess to the soft couch next to her." The Queen spoke directly to the palace maid, who helped the Crown Princess to lie down on the soft couch next to her.

"I'm sorry, Crown Princess." After Lan Rufeng finished speaking, he put his hand on Lan Ruyu's abdomen to check the condition of the fetus in her belly.

Everyone was horrified when they saw Lan Rufeng actually reaching his hand directly into the Crown Princess' belly to touch it.

Lan Ruyu opened her mouth to stop him, but when she saw the calmness in Lan Rufeng's eyes, she stopped talking.

“Master Lan, this is the Crown Princess, how could you...!” Zhong Lian broke out in a cold sweat for Lan Rufeng and didn’t even dare to utter the following three words: “dare to offend”.

"In my eyes, there are only patients, not men and women. Please forgive me if I am offended." Lan Rufeng replied indifferently to Zhong Lian, and also replied to the Queen and the others, so that they would not think that he was taking advantage of Lan Ruyu.

Chu Jianfeng was a little surprised when he heard Lan Rufeng's words. He bowed to the queen and said, "Queen, Princess Nan'an and the Crown Princess should check their conditions carefully. Doctors only care about their patients."

"I understand." The queen responded, and after watching Lan Rufeng touch her daughter-in-law's belly, she stood up and asked, "Master Lan, how is the Crown Princess doing?"

"The fetus has indeed not yet entered the pelvis, and its head is still on the left side. But as long as I am here, I can ensure that the Crown Princess and the baby in her belly are safe." Lan Rufeng told the truth.

When the Queen and Lin Ruyan heard Lan Rufeng's words, they felt reassured. They asked the palace servants to help the Crown Princess up and asked her to sit aside.

"Master Lan, the Crown Princess is due to give birth in a few days. Is there any way to quickly transfer the fetus into the uterus?" Chu Jianfeng asked as he sat down.

"Crown Princess, you can lie on your back more often in bed every day, which will help the fetus to enter the pelvis. But you should not drink tea. Drink more boiled water to keep the amniotic fluid sufficient. Leave the rest to me." Lan Rufeng instructed lightly.

"Mr. Lan, this is no joke." Chu Jianfeng reminded Lan Rufeng that if anything went wrong he would be beheaded.

"Doctor Chu thinks that I am still young, but thank you, Doctor Chu. For the sake of my life, I will not do anything that is not sure." Lan Rufeng smiled faintly and looked at Old Man Chu.

"I'm glad that you understand, Mr. Lan." Chu Jianfeng didn't expect this kid to be so direct and felt a little embarrassed.

"Princess, please do as I say! Spend more time lying on the bed, otherwise the fetus will not enter the pelvis. Once a caesarean section is performed, you will have to wait three years before you can have another child for the royal family." Lan Rufeng instructed Lan Ruyu.

"Mr. Lan, what is a caesarean section?" Lin Ruyan asked when she didn't understand.

"It means cutting open the person's stomach, taking the baby out, and then sew the stomach shut." Lan Rufeng's nonchalant words scared everyone.

"Mr. Lan, I have never heard of cesarean section in my decades of medical practice. Where did you learn this medical skill?" Chu Jianfeng asked in surprise. This young man looked to be no more than 20 years old, yet he knew how to perform cesarean section.

"Dr. Chu doesn't travel around the world, so how does he know that there is no such thing in the world?" Lan Rufeng asked old man Chu indifferently.

"Although I don't know how good Mr. Lan's medical skills are, as long as he can help the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess and her child are safe, I will reward him handsomely." The Queen looked at Lan Rufeng and reminded him.

Lan Rufeng was not a fool. How could he not hear the threat hidden in the Queen's words? If he could not save Lan Ruyu and the baby in her belly, he would lose his life.

"I just happen to be short of travel money, so I have to accept this reward from the Queen. It's getting late, so I won't disturb the Queen and the Crown Princess." Lan Rufeng stood up decisively, picked up his small cloth bag and hung it on his shoulder.

“Crown Princess, please listen to Master Lan. I trust him. Take good care of yourself. I will leave first.” Lin Ruyan stood up and told her daughter to take her leave to the Queen, then led Lan Rufeng away.

"I, the old minister, am taking my leave as well." Chu Jianfeng also hurriedly said goodbye to the Queen and the Crown Princess, and left with his medicine box.

"Princess Consort, please do as Young Master Lan says! I don't think he would dare to do anything reckless. Have a good rest. I am going back to the palace now." The Queen gave the instructions and stood up.

"Goodbye, mother." After seeing the queen off, Lan Ruyu quickly asked the palace maid to help her walk to the bed. She took off her shoes and went to the bed to follow Lan Rufeng's instructions, then half-lying on the bed to practice.

Lan Rufeng and the others left the palace and saw Lan Ruyun waiting at the palace gate. There were also the annoying guys Mu Rongchen and Yang Feng. They greeted them reluctantly: "I greet Prince Rong and General Yang."

Mu Rongchen's eyes fell on Lan Rufeng indifferently. This guy had a kind of natural arrogance. He asked indifferently: "How is the Crown Princess?"

"Don't worry, Prince Rong. I have my head hanging on my waist. I must do everything I can to reassure you, Prince Rong, who is about to be promoted to the emperor's uncle." Lan Rufeng said lightly.

Everyone felt that Lan Rufeng's words were not good words, but full of irony.

"Is this guy saying that he is old?" Mu Rongchen thought to himself, staring at Lan Rufeng with his arms folded across his chest and said, "That's the best." He turned around and got on the carriage, letting Yang Feng go.

"Please come in, Young Master Lan." Seeing that Lan Rufeng had angered Mu Rongchen away with just two words, Lan Ruyun quickly invited him and his mother to get on the carriage.

"Mr. Lan, Prince Rong has a somewhat cold temper." Lan Ruyun reminded Lan Rufeng, hoping that he would give Mu Rongchen some face to avoid getting into trouble.

"I have heard the details..." Lan Rufeng said lightly. The original owner had not met Mu Rongchen too many times, less than ten times in a few years, so naturally he knew everything from hearsay.

"Prince Rong is famous, Mr. Lan, is it true that he doesn't know about it?" Lan Ruyun didn't believe that the guy in front of him was so ignorant.

"I am not interested in official affairs." Lan Rufeng replied to Lan Ruyu.

Lin Ruyan looked at Lan Rufeng who was retorting to her son and smiled: "Mr. Lan, Prince Rong has a cold temper, but he is still a good person."

"She is indeed very pretty. I admire her for marrying her sister's daughter as a concubine." Lan Rufeng said sarcastically. She still didn't understand why a man as outstanding as Mu Rongchen would agree to such a ridiculous thing. The Queen Mother was even more interesting. She wanted to marry both of them at the same time. Did she want them to fight each other?

His words frightened Lin Ruyan and her son. He even mocked Mu Rongchen for marrying his niece as his concubine.

"Master Lan, you can't say this. If someone hears it, it may bring you unnecessary trouble." Lin Ruyan quickly reminded Lan Rufeng not to talk nonsense.

"I am not speaking nonsense. From a medical point of view, close relatives should not marry each other. If they do, the children born from the marriage are likely to have defects or be born with incomplete disabilities. Princess and Prince Consort, have you never heard of such a situation? Or have you encountered it?" Lan Rufeng looked at the mother and son with smiling eyes.

When Lin Ruyan and her son heard Lan Rufeng's words, they kept wondering whether his words were true or not. Combined with some of the things they had witnessed with their own eyes, they found it difficult to question his words.

Lan Rufeng saw that his words had an effect on the mother and son. Because there were many such cases in the homes of high-ranking officials in the capital, but in order to cover up the ugly facts, these children with disabilities were dealt with as soon as they were born.
