Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

Chapter 169: It’s already this late, and you’re still jealous

When she returned to the delivery room, Concubine Zhuang's cries had become very faint, and only the voices of the midwife and personal maid cheering her on were left.

But even the incessant cheering had begun to become hoarse and desperate.

Doctor Qiu acted very quickly and prepared all the basic items. He even called one of his female apprentices over, fearing that the rules and etiquette between men and women would hinder his performance.

"Doctor Qiu, the Emperor has already approved our method. I believe in your medical skills. You just need to do your best and leave the rest to me." The Queen's eyes were unusually firm as she looked at Doctor Qiu.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Although my method is rare in the palace and has certain risks, I am very skilled in its use and can save at least one person." Doctor Qiu bowed and replied.

What this means is that if a cesarean section is not used, there is a high probability that both babies will not be saved.

At this time, the palace maids had already prepared the commonly used medicinal materials, and the accompanying female officials had also brought the necessary tools, and they were just waiting to begin the implementation.

The Queen nodded to Imperial Physician Qiu, who then brought the female officials, the Queen and Shen Zhiyao into the tent, while Imperial Physician Zhang continued to stay outside the tent, ready to provide support and help at any time.

At this time, Concubine Zhuang was lying limply on the bed, her face covered in sweat, a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead, her eyes closed, and she was barely breathing.

The emperor stepped forward and gently held her cold hand: "There is already a way, just hold on a little longer, don't give up, okay?"

The midwife and palace maids who were serving on the side looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been calling for a long time, but Concubine Zhuang seemed to have given up in the end. She just lay there in complete relaxation, refusing to give them any response.

Now, can Concubine Zhuang still listen to the Queen Mother's casual words?

But when Concubine Zhuang heard the Queen's voice, she actually opened her eyes wide and looked towards the Queen, causing everyone to be ecstatic. As long as they didn't give up, there was still hope!

Concubine Zhuang tightly grasped the Queen's hand and responded weakly: "Your Majesty... I feel so much pain... Every time my insides contract, it feels like I'm being torn apart... It hurts so much that I have no strength left... I'm afraid I can't do it..."

"Okay, you don't need to use any strength this time... You just need to relax and focus all your attention on me..." The queen said, and used her other free hand to push the hair stuck on her forehead to the other side.

"Okay... okay..." Concubine Zhuang thought that she was beyond help and that the Queen was there to see her off. Thinking of her child who had never had the chance to be born, she burst into tears and looked at the Queen pitifully.

The queen seemed to see through her thoughts. She wiped her tears and comforted her, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Even if you want to give up, I will never give up on you. I really have a better way. Relax and believe me..."

"Okay... I believe you, always... believe you..." Concubine Zhuang said while crying.

Looking at her like a child, Shen Zhiyao actually thought that this person was quite cute!

At this time, Cuibai happened to bring in some food, which was prepared by the Queen in advance.

Shen Zhiyao took the porridge from Cuibai without saying a word and personally brought it to Concubine Zhuang to feed her.

Two palace maids had already prepared a red cloth and used it to separate Concubine Zhuang's upper and lower body, blocking her view.

The imperial physician and the female official had already started to measure her abdomen, for fear that Concubine Zhuang might see the process and have wild thoughts.

The bowl of porridge that Shen Zhiyao fed her was mixed with a sleeping pill, and Doctor Qiu waited for the pill to take effect before taking action.

As soon as Shen Zhiyao handed over the spoon full of porridge, Concubine Zhuang frowned and turned her head away: "I don't want to eat..."

The Queen was about to persuade her, but Shen Zhiyao smiled and said, "Your Highness, you'd better eat obediently. We'll need you to concentrate and cooperate later!"

Seeing that she was still tilting her head, Shen Zhiyao smiled again and said, "The Empress has been running around for you, and she was just scolded by the Emperor. If you don't eat obediently, she will have to feed you herself. This is too inappropriate!"

Shen Zhiyao spoke to Concubine Zhuang in such a relaxed and teasing tone, not at all as if she was talking to a dying patient. Instead, it made Concubine Zhuang completely let down her guard.

Maybe there really is hope, Concubine Zhuan thought so, and turned back obediently, eating the porridge fed to her by Shen Zhiyao carefully, mouthful by mouthful.

"Do you know how lucky you are? Come here and you will have such a noble figure as the Queen Mother to help you. If I were to give birth here one day, I would have the honor of being treated like this by the Queen Mother. It would be worth it even if it hurts!" Shen Zhiyao laughed as she fed the baby.

The queen looked at Shen Zhiyao like this and shook her head helplessly in her heart. This guy, even at this time, still has the mind to make fun of her!

However, the Queen was also persuaded by her words to relax a lot. With Shen Zhiyao, the lucky star, by her side, the chances of success would be much greater!

"Hmph... If you are in danger, the Queen will certainly help you, but whether she will care about you as much as she does about me... That's hard to say! After all, I have been with the Queen for many years. How dare you compare..."

Even though Concubine Zhuang was sweating profusely and even her lips were turning white, she was still unconvinced and could even retort intermittently!

This made Shen Zhiyao sneer.

The Queen held her forehead and sighed, saying that Concubine Zhuang was a dishonest person. Even at this time, she was still "jealous".

The two people following her are both talented!

After a while, Concubine Zhuang had finished a bowl of porridge in a relaxed mood. Because she was much more relaxed, the effect of the medicine took effect quickly. When Concubine Zhuang lay down again, she had fallen into a complete sleep.

Shen Zhiyao took the opportunity to pinch her several times, but she didn't react at all.

"You should take it easy too..." The queen saw that she was pinching him so hard, obviously to "take revenge", so she smiled helplessly and reminded him.

Cui Bai walked forward with a distressed look on her face and silently rubbed the red skin of Concubine Zhuang.

"I'm doing this for the Imperial Concubine's own good...to prevent her from waking up halfway and getting scared..." Shen Zhiyao acted coquettishly.

"Okay, Imperial Doctor Qiu has started to move. Let's wait outside the tent. All irrelevant people should come out. Just leave two to serve him, so as to avoid distracting Imperial Doctor Qiu." The Queen said in a solemn voice.

Everyone followed the queen and went outside the tent to wait, leaving only the imperial physician Qiu, the midwife, the female official and two maids inside the tent.

Shen Zhiyao suddenly remembered how Concubine Zhuang was tied up like a "dumpling" before leaving the tent, and prayed for her secretly in her heart.

She and the Queen have done everything they can, and the rest can only be left to fate...
