Li Zhang stood in front of the hall, looking at the heavy rain outside like a water curtain, but his mood was like this world was washed away by the rain. Zhao Zhen called for a long time and finally waited for a child, but he didn't expect that the child would be difficult to give birth. Now not only can't give birth, but even Queen Zhang is in danger.

If possible, Li Zhang naturally hopes to save Queen Zhang's life, but with the current conditions, if she had a caesarean section, she would have almost no chance of survival. What's more, the current situation is critical, but Zhao Zhen has not made a decision yet. If the delay is too long, not only will Queen Zhang's life not be able to survive, but even the children in her belly may die due to lack of oxygen.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, but suddenly there was a rapid sound of a carriage in the rain. Then a carriage was parked in front of the hall gate, and then a delicate figure rushed off the carriage and ran over. When Li Zhang saw the other party clearly, he couldn't help but shouted in surprise: "Li'er, why are you here?"

"The emperor's sister-in-law is going to have a baby. How can I not come for such a big thing? I have brought the medicine box. How is the emperor's sister-in-law's situation? When will the child be born?" Li'er was also half wet at this time, but she wiped the rain on her face indifferently and asked.

The person who went to Li Zhang's house to get the medical box was an eunuch in the palace, so naturally he didn't dare to say much, but said that Queen Zhang was going to have a baby. Li'er was very worried when she heard about it, so she came with the medicine box herself. However, she didn't know about Queen Zhang's current situation, and even thought she could hold her nephew soon.

At this time, Li Zhang silently took the medicine box and opened it for inspection. After finding that there was no problem, he said to Li'er with a heavy expression: "The queen's condition is very bad. Now it is difficult to give birth. The imperial doctor and the midwife are helpless. If it really doesn't work, they can only use the last method, but this method can only protect the child. As for the queen..."

Li Zhang didn't say anything at the end, and Li Er, who was already full of joy, was stunned at this time. After a while, he grabbed Li Zhang's hands with tears in his face and said, "Brother, you must have a way to save the emperor's sister-in-law, right?"

"I'm not a god. The reason why I asked someone to take my medicine box is to prepare for the last method." Li Zhang also smiled bitterly at this time.

As soon as Li Zhang said that, Li'er cried even harder. No matter how Li Zhang persuaded him, it was useless. In the end, he could only pull him to the inner hall. What surprised him was that there were only Empress Dowager Li and Miao Yuan outside the inner hall gate, but Zhao Zhen disappeared.

"Mother!" Li'er saw that Empress Dowager Li seemed to find support, and immediately threw herself into the arms of the other party and cried bitterly. Empress Dowager Li had already stopped her sad voice, but at this time, she was moved by Li'er's crying and wiped her tears again.

"Have Your Majesty entered?" Li Zhang then came to Miao Yuan, who was also wiping his tears, and asked softly.

"Yeah!" Miao Yuan nodded, then looked at Empress Dowager Li who was crying with Li'er and said again, "After the Empress Dowager entered the delivery room and saw the Emperor's sister-in-law. Although the Emperor's sister-in-law was extremely weak, she still asked to see her elder brother. The elder brother had also been in for a while."

Li Zhang sighed again when he heard this. He knew without asking him that Empress Li should have told Empress Zhang about her own way. Empress Zhang knew that she would die, she would definitely hope to save the child in her belly. She called Zhao Zhen in to convince him personally.

At this moment, the delivery room door was suddenly opened, and Zhao Zhen walked out of the delivery room in a daze. When he saw Li Zhang, his eyes regained a little bit of spirit. Then he came to Li Zhang and said in pain: "Cousin, come in with me!"

Li Zhang nodded when he heard this. Then the two entered the delivery room one by one. After passing by the screen in front, Li Zhang finally saw Queen Zhang who was suffering from labor. She was as white as paper, her hair was wet with sweat on her forehead, her face full of pain, and her lower body was covered with a silk order, but the order was covered with blood. The midwife and the imperial doctor next to her were all standing there with panic on her face. They had tried their best, but the child was still unable to give birth.

"How is the queen now?" Li Zhang asked softly. Seeing Queen Zhang's eyes closed slightly, she seemed to have fallen into a semi-coma, so he could only ask Zhao Zhen and the imperial doctor next to him.

"The queen was still awake just now. She grabbed my hand and asked me to save the child. She was willing to do whatever the price." Zhao Zhen said with tears again at this time, and at the end he was crying.

At this time, Li Zhang could not just be concerned about grief, but turned his head to ask the imperial doctor next to him. The imperial doctor was also very scared at this time. After all, if there was any accident between the queen and the son, they might also be implicated. Now when he heard Li Zhang's inquiry, he immediately explained the situation of Queen Zhang in detail.

After such a long time of childbirth, Queen Zhang's strength has been exhausted, but the fetus cannot be born due to its incorrect location. They have used all the methods they can use, but it still has no effect. What's worse is that Queen Zhang has already shown signs of blood collapse. If there is no other way, she can only watch Queen Zhang die due to heavy bleeding.

Fortunately, the fetus in Queen Zhang's belly should still be alive, and the midwife could still observe the fetus being active, which made Li Zhang feel relieved, because the fetus could move, which did not mean that the fetus was still alive. Even if she was alive, it might lead to other problems, such as severe dementia, etc. Therefore, when Li Zhang told Zhao Zhen this method, he also took great risks. If neither mother nor son could be saved in the end, or if the child survived, even if Zhao Zhen did not blame him, I am afraid that the ministers in the court would inevitably criticize him.

Without further ado, Li Zhang immediately opened the equipment from the medicine box and took out a large bottle of alcohol to disinfect the equipment. Unexpectedly, Queen Zhang slowly opened her eyes, which made Zhao Zhen shout in surprise: "Wake up, Queen is awake!"

Li Zhang hurried over and asked, "Queen, how do you feel?"

"It hurts! It hurts!" Queen Zhang said weakly at this time. Although she is usually the queen of Mother Yi, she is actually not a few years older than Li'er, and she is in extreme pain. This pain is not only physical but also psychological, so she is also extremely painful and helpless at this time.

However, Queen Zhang quickly woke up from the extreme pain. When she saw Li Zhang, she said excitedly: "Cousin, do you really have a way to save the child in my belly?"

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you and the child will definitely have no problem!" Li Zhang said firmly at this time. He had already entered the role of a doctor at this time, so he naturally had to give the patient a psychological support.

However, Li Zhang's words did not work. Empress Zhang showed a calm smile on her pale face and said, "Cousin, don't comfort me. My mother told me just now, and I don't ask for anything else. I just want to protect this child. I hope you can fulfill my last wish!"

When Li Zhang heard this, he sighed again, then nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best!"

After Li Zhang finished speaking, he immediately turned around and took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box, and then asked someone to take it to make a soup for Queen Zhang to take it. This medicine was his own anesthetic, or to be precise, an anesthetic that was improved from the army. Because military doctors often had to treat wounds for soldiers and even needed amputations, the huge pain was not something that ordinary people could tolerate, so with this anesthetic drug, the patient would be unconscious after taking it, and the feeling of pain decreased, so the surgery could be performed better.

The reason why Li Zhang had these in his medicine box was actually related to Qingori. When Qingori gave birth, he was worried that he would die. He even wanted to deliver Qingori personally, so he made a lot of preparations in advance and put them all in this medicine box. However, he didn't expect Qingori to be useless, but Queen Zhang used it instead.

After Li Zhang asked Queen Zhang to take anesthetic drugs, the anesthetics had an effect in just about half an hour, and Queen Zhang fell into drowsiness. The main medicine of this anesthetic is mandala. Although later generations have made great contributions to this plant, gallbladder is actually not uncommon. It can actually be seen on the roadside. It is said that its origin is in India, but it has long been introduced to the Central Plains. It is used as a drug because of its high toxicity. It has a good analgesic effect and is also the main ingredient of early anesthetics.

Seeing that the medicine had already worked, Li Zhang immediately advised Zhao Zhen to go out. After all, caesarean section was too bloody and people who had not received training could not bear it at all. Not only could Zhao Zhen stay here not help, but he might also leave a psychological shadow.

However, Zhao Zhen refused to leave. In desperation, Li Zhang could only let him stay on the other side of the screen, leaving only a few midwives beside the delivery bed to help him. After he asked several midwives to disinfect their hands with alcohol, he directed them to exchange a new order for Queen Zhang's lower body and cut it off on her abdomen. At this time, he didn't care about the difference between men and women, and everything was important to save people.

Now Li Zhang took out the disinfected scalpel from the tray, recalling the process of caesarean section in his mind again, and then used alcohol to poison Queen Zhang's bulging abdomen, then he firmly cut and began the first operation after traveling to the Song Dynasty.
