Chapter 207: Tragedy of 1 corpse and 2 lives
Shen Qingge quickly glanced at the anxious sisters-in-law beside her, clenched her hands, tried to stay calm, and then gave them a soothing and firm look to reassure them.
Then, she walked quickly to the side of the bed and sealed several important acupoints on the fifth sister-in-law's body with extremely fast movements.
As the acupoints were sealed, the blood flowing from Fifth Sister-in-law's body gradually stopped.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Shen Qingge did not dare to stop for a moment. He immediately reached out and gently held the cold wrist of his fifth sister-in-law and began to take her pulse carefully.
As soon as her fingers touched the pulse, her brows furrowed slightly - the pulse was as thin as a gossamer thread, weak and powerless, sometimes coming and going; not only that, the pulse also seemed weak and short, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
After taking the pulse, Shen Qingge carefully observed the face of his fifth sister-in-law.
When she saw that Fifth Sister-in-law's lower eyelid, which should have been extremely pale, was actually faintly bluish-black, her heart sank suddenly:
"Oh no! This is clearly a sign of poisoning..."
However, what puzzled her was how come she didn't notice anything unusual when they were having dinner together just now?
With the idea of not missing any clues, Shen Qingge approached the fifth sister-in-law again, lowered his head and gently sniffed the fifth sister-in-law's body.
However, apart from the elegant and refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms, she did not smell any other strange or pungent smell.
This familiar plum fragrance is exactly the same as usual, without any trace at all.
"This is really strange! What kind of poison can be hidden so deeply?" Shen Qingge thought to himself.
However, before she could think too much, her fifth sister-in-law's condition suddenly deteriorated rapidly!
The fifth sister-in-law, who had already fallen into a coma, began to twitch violently all over her body, and her limbs were shaking wildly.
What's worse, the fetal heartbeat she sensed was getting weaker and weaker, almost inaudible.
"We can't wait any longer! If we delay any further, it will probably result in a tragedy with one person dead and two lives lost!"
Thinking of this, Shen Qingge's breathing became rapid, and his brain was working rapidly to think of a countermeasure.
No matter what, the baby must be taken out of the fifth sister-in-law's belly first. Only then can there be a glimmer of hope.
But now, my sister-in-law is unconscious and can't use any strength, what should I do?
At the critical moment, she had an idea and said to the midwife who was kneeling on the ground and trembling:
"Midwife, if the baby's head comes out a little, can you reach out and pull it out without hurting it?"
The midwife thought for a moment, then nodded timidly, her voice as thin as a thread:
"Yes, General!"
“Well, at this moment, the fifth sister-in-law is already unconscious, and the fetus is breathing very weakly.
I could only use force to squeeze the fetus out a little, but the fetus was delicate and I couldn't use too much force.
Therefore, everything from now on will depend on you!"
Upon hearing this, the midwife fell into deep thought again.
She had heard of General Shen's reputation. She was a famous heroine who had done many good things for the people of Lingnan.
This time, her family was in trouble, so she was determined to give it a try even if it meant risking her old bones.
So she nodded solemnly in response.
Seeing the midwife's earnest sincerity, Shen Qingge no longer hesitated.
She quickly pressed on the Baihui, Houxi and Yongquan acupoints on the fifth sister-in-law's body, instantly stopping the continuous convulsions of the fifth sister-in-law's body.
Then, Shen Qingge slowly raised his palm, carefully placed it below the fifth sister-in-law's abdomen, and began to continuously infuse his own true energy into it.
Not long after, a surprising scene appeared - a small corner of the fetus's head slowly appeared!
The midwife nearby reacted very quickly and immediately reached her hand into the birth canal. With her rich experience, she skillfully and gently rotated and lifted the fetus.
In the blink of an eye, the midwife successfully pulled the child out of the mother's body and said excitedly:
"It's a guy with a penis!"
However, the poor little guy was already in a state of severe hypoxia due to being stuck in the narrow birth canal for a long time.
His face, which should have been rosy, now looked extremely pale, and his small lips were a terrifying cyanosis.
Fortunately, the midwife was experienced and remained calm in the face of danger.
She immediately turned the child's head upside down and kept patting the child's delicate feet.
Soon, with a clear and loud cry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
The midwife deftly took the soft swaddling clothes that had been prepared long ago, wrapped the child carefully, and then handed it to Shen Qingge with a smile on her face.
Shen Qingge took the baby in the cradle and examined it carefully.
After repeated confirmation, she found that the child was not poisoned like her fifth sister-in-law, and she couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
But out of caution, she still decided to transfer some more true energy to the child to protect the child's fragile heart from any potential danger.
After doing all this, Shen Qingge gently handed the child in her arms to her eldest sister-in-law Wang Lan who was standing beside her, and softly told them to take the children and leave first. Next, she would concentrate on treating her fifth sister-in-law.
At this time, the maids and servants had cleaned the blood off the fifth sister-in-law's body, changed her clothes, and then tactfully left the room.
Just as everyone was leaving, Shen Qingge called out to Lan'er, the fifth sister-in-law's personal maid!
