Chapter 1208: Helped with the Birth

Yinzhen was very on edge now, so when he heard what Lady Niohuru said, he frowned. “She’s just a maid who knows a little medicine. She shouldn’t go in to cause more trouble.”

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lady Niohuru’s face. “This concubine had spoken out of turn.”

Ning Shu felt pretty helpless. It seemed that there was no way for her to get inside.

The midwife lifted the curtain and hurriedly walked out to kneel in front of Yinzhen. She said fearfully, “Prince, the lady is having a difficult birth. The child’s foot has come out.”

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, then he wiped at his face and said coldly, “Do all you can to save the child.”

“Lady, allow this servant to have a try.” Ning Shu was really panicking now.

Lady Niohuru whispered in an annoyed tone, “You heard what she said. It’s a difficult birth!”

Ning Shu could hear Lady Song’s soft groans come from inside the room. She seemed extremely very weak.

Lady Niohuru rubbed her forehead in irritation, but she then said to Yinzhen, “Prince, please just allow this concubine’s maid to give it a try.”

Yinzhen waved his hand without even lifting his head to allow Ning Shu to go in. It was clear that he was just desperate enough to try anything by now.

The moment Ning Shu lifted the curtain, she was hit with the stench of blood. Lady Song was lying on the bed, her face pale as she moaned weakly in pain.

Ning Shu glanced down and found that the baby’s foot had come out first. If she didn’t fix the position of the child, there was no way for the child to be born. The ancient era didn’t have caesarean section technology. If she cut a hole open in someone’s stomach without anesthetic, the patient would just die from the pain.

Ning Shu took the ginseng in the box and cut a piece to place in Lady Song’s mouth.

Following that, she got an embroidery needle to prick the child’s foot. Before she could though, the midwife next to her grabbed her hand and demanded, “What are you doing?”

Ning Shu shook off the midwife’s hand and pricked the child’s foot with the needle. A bead of blood immediately appeared on the child’s foot and then the foot retracted.

When the child retracted, Lady Song groaned with pain. Her facial color became even more pale and large beads of sweat covered her forehead. Lady Song’s personal maid, Hong Mei, was currently helping wipe her sweat.

Ning Shu was relieved that the foot was now back in Lady Song’s stomach. She then placed her hands on the stomach to adjust the position of the child.

This was Ning Shu’s first time helping a woman give birth so she was also quite nervous. The other midwives were now also helping her.

“Ah…” Lady Song cried out in pain.

Ning Shu was so busy that she was covered with sweat. The candles in the room had already burned down to nothing and the sky had already brightened.
