It was already midnight, and there might still be many night owls in modern times, but it was not far from morning in ancient times, and it was the quietest time.

By this time everyone was in a bit of a bind, and so was Ye Jiayao, who wanted to sleep but did not dare to sleep. Qiao was still suffering from pain and uncertainty about her’s life. How could she go to rest?

She ordered the kitchen to make some food and give everyone a refreshment.

Ye Jiayao went into the delivery room to see Qiao twice and cheer her up. To tell the truth, she didn’t dare to go into the delivery room, with a thick blood smell, and Qiao’s pale face and profuse sweat, scared her. She shuddered to think that she might one day experience such pain.

She didn’t dare to stay for a long time and came out with a few words of comfort. Xiangtao brought people here with the soup with red dates, peanuts, longan and semen nelumbinis in it which meant giving birth to son early. Each one had a bowl and assigned it down.

Originally, all these things were done by Zhou Xing’s family, but Ye Jiayao prevented Zhou Xing’s family from doing so and let Xiangtao do it.

Ye Jiayao asked Xiang Tao, ” did the third master and the master Qiao receive them over there?”

Xiangtao replied, ” Yes.”

“What about the eldest master?”

The Xiangtao lingered and said in a low voice, ” He has already sent someone to the kitchen to have something to eat.”

Ye Jiayao was angry. He was a shameless man, heartless. Everyone grabbed their hearts, and he could eat and sleep, just like a man who had nothing to care about, he was beaten by master Qiao without a long memory.

Hopeless.

Ye Jiayao asked Mother Fang to bring soup to Qiao to see if she could eat something. Everyone was very hard, but the hardest one was Qiao. The kitchen stewed Qiao’s soup, and Qiao could not go down after only drinking two spoonfuls of soup. Instead, she used ginseng slices to contain it.

Seeing everyone had soup, Ye Jiayao just sat down and drank slowly.

Drinking half, she suddenly reminded of a few things, called Qiao Xi in a hurry.

” Qiao Xi, you hurry to find the housekeepers Zhong and Zhao. I really forget about those things I said earlier. You also don’t remember to remind me that they are all urgent matters. You have to hurry to do …”

She muttered to herself, ” I don’t know if it’s too late.”

Qiao Xi looked at the second lady who was in a hurry, but she couldn’t laugh at her and was very distressed.

” Second lady, please relax. I has already told the housekeepers Zhong and Zhao, and they have already done it.”

Er, Ye Jiayao looked at Qiao Xi unexpectedly and smiled later: ” You do a good job.”

Qiao Xi said, ” the second lady has only one head and two hands, and I can’t help anything else. I will never forget what the second lady told me.”

Ye Jiayao sighed, ” It’s good to have you and Xiangtao, or I won’t be able to do it well even if I have three heads and six arms.”

Considering that there were still many capable people around her, but the scene was not big enough. Qiao Xi and Xiangtao were almost getting married. Yingtao were too young to stand alone. Alas, she was facing a shortage of workers.

” I see the head, the first lady, work harder, the child is coming out …” The sound of a midwife’s surprise came from the back room.

Everyone immediately raised their spirits, and Ye Jiayao was also excited. Just as Lin Kun’s family came out, Ye Jiayao went up and asked, ” Is it getting fast?”

Lin Kun’s family said with a smile: ” Soon, I will call the nurse to wait.”

Ye Jiayao rejoiced: ” Go quickly. There are also child’s clothes, swaddling clothes and so on. Be warm.”

She remembered that at present, premature babies were put in the incubator.

” Second lady, these are all ready.”

” The pigeon soup? The first lady will certainly be hungry after giving birth.”

“It’s simmering! You can bring it up at any time. ”

Lin Kun’s family looked at the happy appearance of the second lady, as if she was going to be a mother. She stayed here all night and did her best to hand over the family. It was right to let the second lady in charge of whole family.

Lin Kun’s family lifted the cotton curtain and went out. Ye Jiayao saw two small heads there at a glance and went over.

” When is it now, you still don’t go to bed? Don’t think you can be lazy when imperial academy has a holiday. ” Ye Jiayao deliberately bluffed.

Chunguo smiled, not afraid of her at all. The second sister-in-low actually was a person who could communicate with.

” Everyone doesn’t sleep, and I have to wait for my little nephew to be born.”

Minrui was not so bold, and he was both respectful and afraid of this cousin, dragging Chunguo’s skirts all the time.

” Not yet, you go to bed first, and come back tomorrow to see. Minrui, you take Chunguo away.”

Minrui was a good boy and most obedient. Ye Jiayao handed over the task to Minrui.

Minrui said yes and dragged Chunguo away.

Chunguo still howled all the way … I wanted to see my little nephew.

Ye Jiayao smiled. He just was a small fart child, what a nephew!

Sending two kids, Ye Jiayao asked Hongxiu to call the master. The baby was about to be born. He should also be a father.

After the joy, Ye Jiayao began to tense up again, walking around outside, her handkerchief was twisted.

Qiao Xi thought that the second lady was worried about the first lady and urged, ” the midwife inside are the most experienced. besides, there are imperial doctors in charge, the first lady will be fine.”

Ye Jiayao silently, she was not worried about this! Premature infants had a low survival rate. What if he/she cannot survive? There was an empty joy, even a bigger blow to Qiao.

” Second lady! Second lady!” Xiangtao rushed in.

” Second lady, the housekeeper Zhong has invited a pediatrician, and they have already arrived.”

Ye Jiayao’s eyes brightened and she hurried out to meet them.

The housekeeper Zhong invited a female doctor, over 30 years old, with a dusty appearance.

” This is Dr. Jiang, who went out for a visit today. I don’t invite her until now,” explained the housekeeper Zhong.

Ye Jiayao nodded approvingly, and the housekeeper Zhong was reliable in his work.

” There is also the matter of the wet nurse, and someone has already done it. I believe there will be news tomorrow.”

Ye Jiayao said, ” You should go to rest first. You’ve been working hard on this day.”

The housekeeper Zhong finished his work, which did make old bones too much for him, so he stopped being melodramatic and went down to rest.

Ye Jiayao said to Dr. Jiang, ” Dr. Jiang, I’m really sorry. It’s midnight and I invite you here. It’s really a special situation.”

Dr. Jiang said calmly, ” it’s the doctor’s duty to cure diseases and save lives. Lady, don’t mention it. I have already been told about the situation on the way. To tell the truth, I have treated several premature babies, some of them have succeeded and some have failed. I still have to wait until the baby is born. I can’t guarantee it.”

Ye Jiayao listened to Dr. Jiang’s remarks, but she felt that this Dr. Jiang had real ability and medical ethics, no exaggeration and hypocrisy, honesty, and was worthy of trust and respect.

” Moreover, as for what lady said, I can’t stay at home for three months. I am a doctor and have many patients who need me. Many of them have to be visited regularly. I can only stay here for half a month at most. If I can’t cure him/her for half a month, I will have no cure. If I can cure him/her, I can come and check him/her regularly in the future,” Dr. Jiang said seriously.

Originally, according to Ye Jiayao’s meaning, it would be best if the doctor could stay in the office and deal with emergencies at any time, but she just wanted to believe in Dr. Jiang and wanted to invite such people.

” Well, then please Dr. Jiang. The baby hasn’t been born yet, but it was almost there. You’ll have to wait a little longer, or you can rest first and I’ll send someone to call you again.” Ye Jiayao said.

” No, I’d better wait. When the child comes out, I’ll have to give him/her a comprehensive examination first.” Dr. Jiang was in charge.

” Well, you come with me.”

Ye Jiayao brought Dr. Jiang to Qiao’s house.

On entering the room, She saw the people’s looks were dignified.

Ye Jiayao’s heart sank and she asked Qiao Xi, ” What’s the matter?”

Qiao Xi said, ” the child is born, but do not hear the crying. the physician has already entered.”

” I’ll go and see,” said Dr. Jiang.

The Mother Fang was busy leading Dr. Jiang into the room. Ye Jiayao did not rest assured and followed her.

She saw the physician holding the child in the palm of his foot.

The child’s body was black and purple, so small, it was estimated that it weighed only four or five pounds. Ye Jiayao was really worried that if the imperial doctor carried the child like this, his feet would be broken.

The physician took several shots, but the child did not respond.

Dr. Jiang opened the medicine cabinet, took out a set of needles, pulled out a slender silver needle and baked it on a candle, saying, ” Put the child down and I’ll try.”

The imperial medical skill was good, but he had not dabbled in pediatrics and couldn’t come up with a good solution. originally he also wanted to use silver needles, but the child was so young that he didn’t dare to try.

Since Dr. Jiang was willing to try, the imperial doctor put down the child, and Dr. Jiang went over to look at the child’s face and said, ” Go away.”

Not for fear that others would learn her medical skill, but for fear that the child’s relatives would worry deeply when they saw the needle.

Everyone took a few steps back when they heard this.

Ye Jiayao only saw Dr. Jiang lift the child’s foot and plunge it down with a single needle, fast and hard.

Then the other foot, then slowly twisted the silver needle, suddenly pulled out the silver needle and lifted the child up, snapping several times.

” Boohoo …”

The stone that was repressed in everyone’s mind fell to the ground with a thud.

” The child was crying, that’s all right.” The Mother Fang wept with joy.

Everyone was very excited. Ye Jiayao grabbed Qiao Xi’s arm. Qiao Xi was pained by her, but she choked back abruptly. The second lady was too happy.

“Qiao Xi, quickly, inform master, third master and master Qiao, quickly …”

Ye Jiayao urged joyfully and repeatedly, with tears in her eyes, walked to Qiao’s bed and softly said, ” lady, you are too strong. You have a boy.”

Qiao smiled weakly: ” You’re worried.”

” It is good to be safe. After this, things will go smoothly in the future.”

” Don’t talk too much to the lying-in woman, she needs rest most now.” A clear voice rang out.

It’s Dr. Jiang. Her facial expression was always so calm and steady.

The doctor’s words must be listened to. Ye Jiayao smiled and said to Qiao, ” Then you can rest and keep your spirits up before we talk.”
