The senior doctor was quickly carried here. Indeed, the guard sent to relay the ssage found him slow, so he directly carried the doctor on his shoulder with one hand, holding the dicine chest in the other, and used Qinggong to return.
"Is this how you invite a doctor?" The senior doctor was half-scared to death, breathless, and grumbled indignantly.
"Doctor, saving lives is crucial," Purple Jade said apologetically.
The senior doctor cald his breath and said, "The birth of a child is a matter of fate and the natural cycle. How can re mortals like us change it?"
Despite his words, he followed them into the room to check Madam Zhou’s pulse. Seeing she was awake, he asked a few questions, which Madam Zhou replied to in a trembling voice.
"D-Doctor, is my child about to be born?" Madam Zhou asked, clutching her belly.
"You’re about to be a mother, don’t you have a sense of whether you’re about to give birth?" The senior doctor said irritably, "You’ve been a mother before. Don’t panic at such tis. Otherwise, what will you do when it’s really ti to give birth? You’ll end up scaring yourself and won’t be able to give birth smoothly."
Madam Zhou wanted to cry but had no tears.
She was truly nervous, having seen blood, and now her belly was intermittently hurting. She wasn’t sure whether she was about to give birth, it was different from when she birthed Wufu.
Moreover, the child wasn’t full-term yet, she was both worried and afraid, fearing sothing might be wrong with the child.
The senior doctor stopped questioning her and instead questioned the two midwives. Judging by their experience, it seed very likely that the child was indeed about to be born.
"I’ll prescribe a redy first, it can stop the spotting and ease the pain, and nourish as well. If it doesn’t work, then prepare to move to the labor room," the senior doctor said, stroking his white beard.
"Please prescribe the redy imdiately, whatever herbs you need, just na them, even if they’re expensive, we can get them," Purple Jade said hurriedly.
The senior doctor cast a sidelong glance at her, "Can you produce hundred-year-old ginseng?"
"Well..."
Seeing her hesitate, the senior doctor snorted, about to make a sarcastic remark when he heard her say, "We don’t have hundred-year-old ginseng in our mansion right now, but we do have a five-hundred-year-old one. If it’s definitely needed, we’ll have to wait for the hundred-year-old one. What do you think?"
Purple Jade looked at him earnestly, and the senior doctor twitched his mouth twice, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Five hundred years old?"
Seeing her nod, the senior doctor cald down again, he had forgotten, this was County Magistrate Ruifu’s Mansion, the achievents of that lord seed extraordinary, just like the guard earlier, carrying him and flying... no, running so fast, was he even a normal person?
The senior doctor said no more, wrote the prescription, and handed it to Purple Jade, saying, "Since there’s five-hundred-year-old ginseng, prepare it, in case there’s not enough strength during labor."
"Certainly. Thank you, Doctor, for staying at our mansion these two days," Purple Jade added.
"Then you need to inform my clinic, so they won’t worry sothing happened to ."
"Of course," Purple Jade instructed soone to lead the senior doctor to rest, then sent a trusted Hidden Guard to gather herbs and went to Madam Zhou’s room.
Madam Zhou’s face was anxious, leaning against the welcoming pillow, repeatedly touching her belly.
"Madam, you need to relax. Being too tense, in case you really have to give birth, won’t be good for you," Purple Jade advised.
Madam Zhou forced a smile, saying, "Where has Wufu reached?"
Purple Jade was silent for a mont, then said, "I will send a ssage imdiately, asking the girl to hurry."
Madam Zhou nodded, with Wufu around, she would feel more at ease. Unconsciously, she already regarded Wufu as her backbone, even for giving birth.
She thought of Madam Lu’s venomous words, gritted her teeth with hatred, and her belly ached again.
