Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Before performing a cesarean section, there was a lot of preparation work to be done, and Ziping rushed over upon hearing the instructions. Over the years, Ziping had been Yang Jianwu's good assistant during surgeries, having completed two cesarean sections together, and was now quite experienced in the procedure.

Yang Jianwu prepared the anesthetic needles and instructed Ziping to clean up the wound. "Ziping, prepare the skin for Princess Qi to insert the cannula."

"Yes." Zi Ping received the order and began to prepare. Princess Qi was a little embarrassed at first, but waves of pain came over her, so she didn't care about anything else. She took a deep breath, told herself to trust Yang Jianwu, and obediently lay down like a lamb to the slaughter, letting Zi Ping do as she pleased.

Zi Ping carefully handled the situation, saying, "Princess Qi, this tube is for urination. It will hurt a little when it's inserted, please bear with it."

"Hmm." Princess Qi was truly astonished; was this childbirth?!

Yang Jianwu came to Princess Qi's side and said, "Princess Qi, please bend over to the side and arch your back as much as possible, like a shrimp."

Princess Qi's belly was very large, making it difficult to follow the instructions. With the combined efforts of several people, Yang Jianwu was able to inject a three-inch-long anesthetic needle into Princess Qi's lumbar spine. "This is local anesthesia. Soon your legs will go numb and you won't feel any pain."

The moment the anesthetic needle pierced my lumbar spine, it really hurt. Fortunately, the anesthesia took effect quickly. Princess Qi felt that both of her legs were numb and she could no longer feel any pain in her abdomen.

Mu Jin, along with Yang Jianwu, cleaned and disinfected Princess Qi's belly, and also checked the fetal heartbeat.

Yang Jianwu used a scalpel to slice open Princess Qi's abdomen layer by layer... Princess Qi couldn't see what was happening, she could only feel Yang Jianwu's hands seemingly reaching inside her... Who wouldn't want to live? Although she trusted Yang Jianwu, a cesarean section was unheard of and unseen; how could an adult survive with their abdomen cut open? She only prayed that Yang Jianwu could save her two children...

Soon the two babies were delivered. Zi Ping sucked out the amniotic fluid from the babies' mouths, and Yang Jianwu cut the umbilical cord. When the babies cried for the first time, Princess Qi's tears flowed again. All the suffering she had endured was worth it.

Zi Ping held the children up and showed them to Princess Qi, "Princess Qi, they are two boys."

Princess Qi sniffed, "Mmm, that's wonderful."

Ziping wiped away Princess Qi's tears and took the two children to Princess Qi's side one by one so that she could kiss them.

Princess Qi felt the baby's softness on her lips, her heart melting completely. Seeing Yang Jianwu still treating her belly, she felt even more confident that she would survive.

The cries of the two babies brought comfort to those outside the delivery room. King Qi also cared deeply for the two children; otherwise, he wouldn't have accompanied his wife to Yunzhi for the birth. Two doctors brought the babies out and handed them to the wet nurses that King Qi had arranged beforehand. Because they were premature, the babies were quite small and wrinkled. "Congratulations, Your Majesty, they are two little princes."

The King of Qi glanced at the child, feeling somewhat relieved. He was glad the child was safe. "How is the Princess?" he asked.

A doctor stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort's health is not suitable for natural childbirth, so we performed a cesarean section on her. She is currently being stitched up and will be out shortly."

King Qi's face turned deathly pale, and his body swayed slightly. "Disembowelment... How could you cut open the Queen's belly without permission!"

The doctor quickly explained, "Your Highness, please rest assured, Yunzhi Medical Clinic has precedents for cesarean sections, so Princess Qi will definitely be safe and sound."

Mo Ye stepped forward to support Prince Qi and waved for the doctor to leave. "Fourth Brother, I have also had the privilege of witnessing Yunzhi's suturing skills before, so please rest assured."

Given the current situation, King Qi was angry but could not say much. The child had been born safely, and as for the Queen... he could only leave it to fate.

Inside the delivery room, Yang Jianwu was suturing Princess Qi. The incision was quick, but the suturing took a long time. It required suturing seven layers from the inside out, and it had to be done carefully. If the incision was not sutured properly, it would affect the recovery.

"Wipe your sweat."

"Yes."

Yang Jianwu usually deals with superficial sutures and hasn't performed high-intensity surgery in a long time. He was exhausted, but with the final stitch, the surgery was finally completed successfully.

With a sigh of relief, she said, "Princess Qi, the surgery is over. We'll take you to your ward to rest shortly, and you'll be able to see your child soon."

Princess Qi looked at Yang Jianwu in disbelief, "I...I'm really alright?"

Yang Jianwu used a cotton ball dipped in water to moisten the corner of Princess Qi's lips. "Yes, you're alright now. There are some things I need to tell you first. You had a C-section, so if you want to have children again in the future, you'll have to wait a few years. It would be best to give birth in Yunzhi. Also, a C-section takes a lot of strain on the body. While most people have a month of postpartum confinement, you should ideally have a full 100 days."

Princess Qi was so happy that she wanted to get up, but Yang Jianwu quickly pressed her down, saying, "Lie down quickly, or your head will hurt."

He pressed Princess Qi back onto the bed and said, “Your Highness, you must lie down for three hours and not move. The anesthesia has not worn off yet, so you can’t feel any pain. Once the anesthesia wears off, the incision on your abdomen will hurt, so you have to bear it. As for why you have to lie down for three hours, the reason is too complicated, and you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it. Just do as I say.”

Princess Qi was truly grateful to Yang Jianwu, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably would have already passed away."

Yang Jianwu tidied up the bedding on Princess Qi's body, saying, "Princess Qi, rest well. Your good fortune is yet to come."

Princess Qi was transferred to a ward. Seeing that Princess Qi was still alive and well, Prince Qi was even more convinced of the medical skills of Yunzhi Medical Hall. He was determined to keep Yang Jianwu in the line, as such a person could only be controlled by the royal family.

Yang Jianwu gave some instructions to the nannies who were taking care of Princess Qi: "Princess Qi needs to lie down for three hours. The cloths under her body should be changed frequently. After three hours, she can eat some liquid food, such as porridge or soup, which should be light and easy to digest. She should also turn over after three hours to prevent intestinal adhesions. The IV drip that Princess Qi is connected to is called an IV. If the fluid in it runs out, call someone to change it immediately."

"Yes, I have remembered this."

Yang Jianwu then said to Princess Qi, "Princess Qi, this IV drip contains medicine to promote uterine contractions. You may feel pain in a while, so please bear with it."

Princess Qi was now filled with the joy of her child's birth, and she would never refuse anything done for her own good. "Okay, thank you."

Yang Jianwu thought about the stomach-pressing she would have to do later, and wondered if the princess could bear the pain. Perhaps she should be kind and not tell her for now, so that she could be happy for a while.
