A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Master Zhao was struck dumb, speechless for a long time.

Seeing that no one responded, Granny Huang's tone became more anxious, "Master Zhao, there's no time!"

On one side is his wife who has been by his side for many years, with whom he has a deep and abiding affection; on the other side is his long-awaited son. This is the key to his return to the capital and reclaiming everything that rightfully belongs to him.

Zhao Xuanmu clutched his head in his hands, in great pain.

Inside the room, Master Fu used acupuncture to wake Hu Wanwan and fed her medicine. Hu Wanwan happened to hear Granny Huang's question.

Hu Wanwan's body ached terribly, as if she had been run over, but she still mustered all her strength and shouted hoarsely at Zhao Xuanmu, "Master, I know how important this child is! Don't worry about me, save the child!!!"

As she spoke, a tear slid down her cheek, and Hu Wanwan's heart felt like a withered tree.

She naturally wanted to live, but she knew her husband's expectations for the child. She had been pregnant for ten months, and if only one of her and the child could survive, then let the child live. In this way, she could be considered to have fulfilled her duties as a wife and to the Zhao family.

She was exhausted and almost fainted, but fortunately Old Master Fu kept her alive.

Zhao Xuanmu lowered his head helplessly, his expression unreadable, only his trembling shoulders visible, and his repeated soft calls could be heard: "Wanwan, Wanwan..."

When Nie Qianqian saw the scene before her, her hands trembled involuntarily. The reason was simply that she was angry.

Women in this era had a low status, and women at the bottom of society suffered all kinds of oppression and hardship. Liu Yan was a microcosm of this. But even if she was born into a wealthy family, what difference did it make? When her life was hanging by a thread, the power to decide her life or death was not in her own hands, but in the hands of men.

Even if there is a chance of survival, she would give it up for the sake of a despicable man's wish.

Nie Qianqian was furious at his lack of ambition: "Utterly foolish."

She stepped into the inner hall, but a fiery red figure blocked her way. "What are you doing?"

Zhao Jiaojiao, with tears still in her eyes, blocked her way.

Nie Qianqian looked directly into Zhao Jiaojiao's eyes. "Get out of my way, I'm going in to save them! If you still want your mother and brother to live, don't stop me!"

Zhao Jiaojiao was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief. "You can save my mother and brother?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanmu abruptly stood up and rushed towards Nie Qianqian, "Dr. Qian, are you really confident?"

Nie Qianqian now views Zhao Xuanmu with prejudice. No matter how conflicted and affectionate he appears, when he doesn't immediately shout "Save the baby," Nie Qianqian already knows the answer in his heart.

Nie Qianqian said coldly, "I have a method, and I'll try my best."

Zhao Xuanmu was caught in a dilemma. Huang Po had already begun to examine Hu Wanwan's pelvis, her hands covered in blood, her face cold and her heart growing heavier.

Hearing the commotion in the outer hall, she grew impatient and her cold voice rang out, "Master Zhao, don't believe him! He's just wasting time! The situation is already difficult to resolve. If he continues his nonsense and delays the time, the baby will definitely die in the womb, resulting in the deaths of both mother and child!"

Since Granny Huang has made her judgment, she cannot be wrong. Some people are arrogant and always want to try and show off their outstanding abilities, but now is not the time for them to try. If they are not careful, the baby will not be saved.

Zhao Xuanmu's whole body trembled violently. Hu Wanwan was already beyond saving; if this child were to be lost too…

Zhao Xuanmu made up his mind, stepped forward and stood between Nie Qianqian and the inner hall, and made a gesture to invite her to leave, "There's no need to trouble Doctor Qian. The situation is urgent. Please leave so that Granny Huang can concentrate on delivering the baby."

Nie Qianqian was speechless. If it weren't for the fact that there was an unborn child in the room, and if it weren't for the jade pendant, she would have definitely turned her back and left, ignoring this bunch of idiots.

"Why is the blood flowing more and more?" The maids inside the room cried out in alarm, their voices growing increasingly panicked and chaotic, clearly indicating that the situation inside was dire.

Nie Qianqian was anxious; if she didn't intervene soon, Hu Wanwan and her child's lives would be in danger.

She never imagined that one day she would need to be forced to undergo treatment.

Nie Qianqian: "Mr. Zhao, the more people who make the diagnosis, the greater the hope. How could you not understand such a simple principle?"

Zhao Xuanmu wouldn't listen. "It's not about the quantity of doctors, but their quality. I've already said there's no need for a thousand doctors to bother with this."

Nie Qianqian was too lazy to waste any more words on him. "Sorry to offend you."

Nie Qianqian stretched out a hand and quickly attacked Zhao Xuanmu, turning his position around and striking him from behind.

After she finished dealing with Zhao Xuanmu and turned to leave, a fiery red whip suddenly appeared and wrapped around her hand before she could react.

Nie Qianqian turned around and saw Zhao Jiaojiao with a fierce look on her face, "You liar, don't go in and cause trouble!"

Nie Qianqian grew increasingly anxious, as if a time bomb was ticking away in her mind.

Doctors are racing against death to save lives; every second counts.

Nie Qianqian pulled the soft whip, drawing Zhao Jiaojiao closer. She gathered her strength in her left hand, ready to strike. This blow would likely cause Zhao Jiaojiao some pain, but she wouldn't be able to stop her for a while.

Just as her palm was about to land on Zhao Jiaojiao, she suddenly felt a gust of wind, and someone made a move straight towards her face.

Nie Qianqian had no choice but to stop, gathering her strength to block the attack aimed at the door.

Their palms met, each exerting its full strength, yet neither could gain the upper hand, and both took a step back.

"Brother Chu!" Zhao Jiaojiao called out.

Nie Qianqian took a closer look and saw that the person in front of her was dressed in black clothes, with a tall and slender figure, a handsome and rugged face, and sharp, slanted eyebrows that gave him a sharp and imposing presence.

Nie Qianqian: Who the hell is this?

Are you all messengers sent by Death? Are you determined to take the lives of those two people today?

Nie Qianqian's last bit of patience ran out. She narrowed her eyes and said in a voice as cold as an icy pool, "And who are you? Why are you stopping me? Mind your own business!"

The man's eyes were cold as he glanced at Nie Qianqian. He did not answer her question, but instead said to Zhao Jiaojiao, "I heard that your lady is having a difficult childbirth. I have some excellent tonics here, which can save a life in critical moments. I came to deliver the medicine, but I did not expect to see this person attack you."

Zhao Jiaojiao felt a warmth in her heart. Brother Chu may look cold on the outside, but he is actually kind-hearted. "This person is a fraudulent doctor who is trying to cause trouble. Brother Chu, please stop him for me."

Chu Shaoyang only intended to deliver the medicine and had no interest in getting involved in the Zhao family's affairs. However, the birth of a child was a major event, and since he had received such courtesy from the Zhao family, he wanted to reciprocate in kind.

Chu Shaoyang's voice was low and deep, "Judging from your voice, you are quite old. I don't want to fight you. Leave."

Nie Qianqian didn't want to say a word of nonsense and immediately attacked.

Chu Shaoyang's eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand to meet the attack. Neither of them had any weapons, so they could only engage in close combat.

The more Chu Shaoyang fought, the stranger it seemed. During their physical contact, he clearly sensed that his opponent was a very thin person, not a man, but rather...

Nie Qianqian grew increasingly anxious and her attacks became more and more fierce, making it somewhat difficult for Chu Shaoyang to cope.

He has rarely encountered an opponent in recent years. The opponent is quite old, yet still possesses such skill, which is truly remarkable.

Nie Qianqian's palm techniques were varied, but Chu Shaoyang excelled in footwork, his movements unpredictable.

Suddenly, Hu Wanwan's cry of pain came from inside the room. Nie Qianqian was distracted for a moment, and Chu Shaoyang appeared beside her with a swift movement, striking down with a palm.

Nie Qianqian reacted quickly, bending backward to avoid the palm strike, but unexpectedly, the palm strike came back and lifted a corner of the bamboo hat she was wearing.

Through this corner, Chu Shaoyang saw the true face of Doctor Qian.

Under the straw hat was not an old man, but a beautiful young woman.

The woman was exceptionally beautiful and possessed a unique charm. Her bright eyes were like water, but they were not like those of the women he usually saw, whether they were weak, charming, or reserved. Instead, they held a resolute pride, as firm as a rock, and her face contained a hint of anger.

This glance stunned Chu Shaoyang.

Taking advantage of Chu Shaoyang's momentary daze, Nie Qianqian slapped him hard across the chest.

Chu Shaoyang was struck by her palm and retreated three steps. Nie Qianqian ran straight into the inner hall without turning her head.

Zhao Jiaojiao rushed forward, "Brother Chu, are you alright? That old swindler dared to hurt you and even entered the inner hall. I will never forgive him!" She then turned to chase after him.

Chu Shaoyang stopped her, his eyes deep, "There's no need to go. This person might really have a way."

In that fleeting glimpse, he clearly saw the extreme anxiety in Nie Qianqian's eyes. It wasn't feigned; this person was determined to enter the inner hall at all costs, and was definitely not a fraud.
