Everyone was shocked when they heard the woman's voice.
The next moment, a middle-aged woman was seen walking slowly into the flower hall, served by several palace maids. Liu Chan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the Queen Mother!"
This woman is none other than the late Emperor Liu Bei's Empress Mu Wu. Her brother is Wu Yi, the Han chariot general. After Liu Chan ascended the throne, he respected her as the empress dowager.
"The emperor wants mandala flowers?" Queen Mother Mu asked casually.
"Returning to the mother, yes!" Liu Chan said: "E'er is in danger. Now the only way to give birth to the emperor's son by caesarean section may be to save the lives of mother and child."
Empress Dowager Mu asked again: "Is the emperor sure he needs to use this method?"
Empress Dowager Mu was also a woman. Although she had not given birth to any children in her life, she had heard of difficult childbirths.
Ma E is Liu Chan's imperial concubine, that is, her daughter-in-law.
After Liu Chan ascended the throne, he promoted her to the title of Empress Dowager. He usually respected her as his mother and was very filial to her.
Now that her daughter-in-law is having a difficult delivery, as a mother-in-law, Queen Mother Mu is naturally very worried.
"Mother!" Liu Chan said hurriedly: "This is the only way to save E'er's life now. If there is any hesitation, the lives of mother and child may be in danger. Please give me flowers."
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, a little palace maid hurried in from outside the palace, holding an exquisite brocade box in her hand.
"Queen Mother!" The little palace maid handed the brocade box to Empress Dowager Mu. Empress Dowager Mu frowned, but finally handed the brocade box to Liu Chan: "If the emperor is sure that everything is safe, please arrange for the imperial doctor to rescue him immediately."
"Thank you, Mother!"
Liu Chan thanked him and hurriedly opened the brocade box, which actually contained a dried mandala flower.
According to the method recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, anesthetics can be made with datura flowers and hemp seed flowers. Liu Chan did not think too much about it, even though he knew that laparotomy in this era was extremely risky.
However, at the moment, it seems that this is the only way he can think of to save Ma E.
Then Liu Chan asked someone to get Shu Liquor, which was a high-quality liquor that he purified according to the distillation technology of later generations when he was in Chengdu.
Grind datura flowers into powder and mix some of it with white wine.
Liu Chan held the liquor in his hand, but did not dare to enter the back room because he was not sure whether this method was really effective?
What to do?
According to the method recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, an anesthetic was made, but Liu Chan did not dare to let Ma E be the guinea pig.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Chan suddenly picked up the wine glass and drank one third of it.
Ma'e is his imperial concubine, and he cannot let Ma'e be a guinea pig, not to mention that Ma'e has to give birth to a baby for him. Even as an emperor, he must have a certain responsibility.
"Your Majesty!"
"Emperor!"
Liu Chan had just drank one-third of the anesthetic wine, which frightened the imperial doctor. Empress Dowager Mu panicked, but Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "I will try this wine first to see if it has an anesthetic effect." As he said this,
He handed the wine glass to a palace maid, and then said to the imperial doctor who knew how to perform laparotomy: "Listen carefully to me. If I take this wine to have an anesthetic effect, you can perform a caesarean section. If something unexpected happens to me,
, you can think of other ways to treat their mother and son."
"Promise!" The imperial doctor hurriedly agreed: "I accept the order!"
The emperor personally tested the wine, and the imperial doctor dared not take it seriously. However, before Liu Chan finished speaking, he continued: "If you perform a laparotomy, remember to use Shu wine to disinfect the knife before the operation, otherwise if something happens to your child,
, I will punish your nine tribes."
"No!"
"Wei Chen, please remember!"
Just as the imperial doctor finished speaking, Liu Chan suddenly softened and collapsed to the ground immediately, which frightened several of the imperial doctors to death.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Emperor!"
Hearing the cry of Queen Mother Mu, the imperial doctor outside, Ma'e in the delivery room suddenly became frightened and shouted: "Your Majesty!"
However, even though the imperial doctors were panicking, they did not panic.
For example, the imperial doctor who knew how to perform laparotomy was the first to examine Liu Chan.
"The pulse is normal." The imperial doctor breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is fine. He was just temporarily drowsy. The anesthesia of this wine should have taken effect."
After receiving the confirmation from the imperial doctor, everyone helped Liu Chan to another bedroom to rest, leaving an imperial doctor and two palace ladies waiting here.
The remaining imperial doctors were extremely nervous at this time.
Because the emperor personally tested it, this wine did have an anesthetic effect, and the effect was not bad, because the emperor was already numb.
"Doctor Li!" Queen Mother Mu said, "Are you sure that you really know how to perform a laparotomy?"
"Go back to the Queen Mother!" Dr. Li bowed and said: "With this anesthetic wine, I will ensure that my mother, mother and son are safe."
"Okay!" Empress Dowager Mu said without any nonsense, "Then come to the rescue quickly."
"No!"
Although Imperial Doctor Li was nervous at the moment, knowing how heavy the burden on his shoulders was, he was also a little excited because the emperor prepared an anesthetic wine in front of them, and the emperor personally tested it and found that the wine was effective.
Decades ago, the miracle doctor Hua Tuo developed Ma Fei Powder.
Later, because he was killed by Cao Cao, Ma Fei San was lost.
Now that it's better, the anesthetic wine has been born again. As a doctor, can he be unhappy?
As for caesarean section surgery, he really knows how to do it. More than ten years ago, he performed this surgery on a woman. Fortunately, the woman survived and withstood the pain of the operation, and the mother and child were safe in the end.
But later, he no longer dared to use this technique.
After all, not all women can withstand such pain.
It's different now, he has anesthetic wine.
Dr. Li calmed down his mood a little, and then asked the palace maid to send the anesthetic wine to the delivery room first, and let Ma E take it first. He then used Shu wine to disinfect the knives according to Liu Chan's instructions before falling asleep.
Everything is ready.
In the delivery room, except for the two midwives and two palace ladies who were left to assist Dr. Li, the rest all retreated to the flower hall to wait.
The inner temple, which had been wailing in agony before, was eerily quiet now.
Several imperial doctors in the flower hall frowned and clenched their hands tightly. They were naturally very worried.
Of course, the one who is worried is Queen Mother Mu.
She also had an anxious look on her face and kept pacing back and forth in the flower hall. There were more than ten people gathered in the whole flower hall at the moment, but no one dared to make a sound, or in other words, they didn't even dare to make a loud sound.
Nervous, anxious.
At this moment, the entire Hehuan Hall was in deathly silence. Apart from the rapid breathing of people, no other sounds could be heard.
In another dormitory, Liu Chan was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
Perhaps he is the only one who can still feel calm at this moment.
"Heaven bless you!"
"Heaven bless you!"
Queen Mother Mu was pacing back and forth, praying secretly in her heart, praying that Dr. Li's operation would go smoothly, and that Ma E and her son would be safe.
The more anxious the moment, the time passes very slowly.
The waiting doctors all had cold sweat on their foreheads.
They are also praying, praying that the operation in the inner temple can end smoothly.
......
Half an hour later.
As the door of the inner hall slowly opened, Queen Mother Mu stepped forward quickly and asked hurriedly: "How is it?"
The palace maid who opened the door was also sweating at the moment, but when she saw Queen Mother Mu, she showed a happy smile and said: "Congratulations to Queen Mother, mother and son are safe."
"Thank you God for blessing!"
"Thank you God for blessing!"
Empress Dowager Mu quickly clasped her hands together and thanked God for his blessing.
Just as Empress Dowager Mu was thanking God, a smiling midwife came to Empress Dowager holding a baby and said with a kind smile: "Congratulations, Empress Dowager, for giving birth to a prince."
"Is he the prince?" Empress Dowager Mu was immediately overjoyed. She quickly took the baby, looked at the crumpled baby in her arms, and said with a smile: "What a good grandson, a good grandson of the Ai family!"
Ma E gave birth to a prince. As the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, she was naturally happy. But the people who were even happier at this moment were everyone in the Hehuan Hall, especially the waiting doctors.
After another quarter of an hour, Dr. Li returned to the flower hall with relief. He bowed to Empress Dowager Mu, and then said: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the operation was very successful. We have already stitched up the wound for the empress. Wait until the empress wakes up."
, with a little breath adjustment for more than a month, the wound will heal naturally."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Empress Dowager Mu held her grandson in her arms and said happily: "Doctor Li has worked hard. Please allow Dr. Li to stay in the palace temporarily until Ma Guiren recovers from his injury."
"No!"
When Dr. Li agreed, he looked slightly flustered.
The other imperial doctors couldn't help but be shocked.
However, the Empress Dowager has given an oral order. Except for Imperial Physician Li, all the other imperial physicians have returned to the Imperial Hospital, and Imperial Physician Li is temporarily staying in the side hall of Hehuan Hall.
Perhaps the effect of the anesthesia was too good. When Liu Chan regained consciousness, it was already the afternoon of the next day. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the palace maid waiting in the room, was stunned for a moment and asked: "How long have I been asleep?"
?"
"Return to Your Majesty!" the palace maid Nuonuo said: "Your Majesty slept for a whole day."
"One day?"
"How is Yu'er?" Liu Chan sat up suddenly and asked.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, my mother and son are safe." The maid said calmly, "It's just that your Majesty is not awake yet."
Mother and child are safe——
After hearing these words, the stone hanging in Liu Chan's heart quickly fell to the ground, but he was not that worried about Ma'e not waking up yet.
After all, he only drank one-third of the medicinal wine and slept all day long. Not to mention that Ma E had an operation. It was normal for her to wake up later.
However, Liu Chan will naturally not stay here any longer.
He didn't care about the palace maid, turned around and left the dormitory, and then hurried to Ma'e's dormitory.
As soon as Liu Chan arrived at Ma'e's palace, he saw Ma'e still lying quietly on the couch. On a wooden chair next to the couch, there was a woman sitting. She was the Queen Mother Mu.
"Meet the Queen Mother!"
Liu Chan walked closer and bowed respectfully to Empress Dowager Mu.
Empress Dowager Mu looked kind and kind at the moment, just like usual, and said with a smile: "The emperor is awake."
"Yes, Queen Mother!"
After Liu Chan responded, he came to sit down beside Ma E and looked at the rosy-faced Ma E. At this moment, he was completely relieved.
He gently held Ma E's hand and couldn't help but feel grateful. Another woman had suffered for him.
Seeing that Liu Chan was a little sad, Empress Dowager Mu said with a smile: "The emperor does not have to worry, the imperial doctor has already diagnosed and treated him, and Ma Guiren will wake up soon."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Liu Chan said.
"Come and see your son." As the Queen Mother Mu spoke, she handed the infant prince into Liu Chan's arms.
