Chapter 519 - 519 Save Her
519 Save Her
Zhou Zhi seemed to like this meal too. According to Zhou Zhi’s appetite, she felt that one bowl was enough for him, but he ate two bowls.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “I think it’s delicious when I see you eating so happily. I accidentally ate too much.”
Su Xiaolu coughed lightly and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Eating more is healthier.”
“Xiaolu, there’s a bath in the courtyard. If you don’t want to sleep yet, you can soak in it. The imperial physician said that soaking in the hot spring often is also beneficial to your body.”
Zhou Zhi smiled and said.!!
Su Xiaolu nodded. She had slept quite long today and did not really want to sleep.
She returned to her room. There was a bath in the small courtyard. The maidservants were very quiet. Su Xiaolu asked and they brought her there.
It was chilly outside, but when she pushed open the door, she was greeted by the warmth of the heater. The house was warm, too. The bath was in the very center, mist rising from it.
Su Xiaolu reached out to test the temperature of the water. It was very warm and comfortable.
Su Xiaolu dismissed the maidservants and went into the bath.
It was very comfortable. After soaking for half an hour, Su Xiaolu went to sleep.
The next morning, medicinal herbs began to be sent over one after another. These were all things she had specifically requested.
After breakfast, Su Xiaolu began to deal with the herbs. She could use the hot spring and soak in the bath without worrying about the temperature.
But such a large bath definitely wouldn’t work.
Su Xiaolu told Jin Liu to see if there was a small bath the size of a bathtub.
Jin Liu smiled and said, “Miss Su, that’s not a problem. Fengpo Platform doesn’t have anything else, but there are plenty of baths. There are no baths of this size in the residence, but you can find them elsewhere. Wait for me. I’ll go look for them immediately.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. Because Fengpo Platform had a hot spring, it was surrounded by fog all year round and the forest was dense. The scenery was very beautiful.
Su Xiaolu was grinding medicine under the small porch outside the window. Because of the high terrain, she could see the scenery of Fengpo Platform very well.
After mashing the herbs, she wrapped them in gauze and began to boil the herbs in a large iron pot.
During this free time, the maid brought over roasted chicken.
Su Xiaolu ate with a smile. It was really timely.
Eating roasted chicken and drinking warm goat milk wine was simply too comfortable.
After eating, Su Xiaolu asked Zhou Zhi to come over. After Zhou Zhi came, Su Xiaolu gave him acupuncture.
After taking out the needles, the medicinal juice was ready. Jin Liu and the others brought it out one by one. Su Xiaolu pushed Zhou Zhi over.
In an inn not far from the residence, there was a bath the size of a bathtub. Half of the hot spring inside had already been emptied. When the medicinal liquid was poured in, the water turned black.
Zhou Zhi took off his coat and Su Xiaolu placed a few needles on his chest. She said, “Alright, you can go in and soak. You can come out after soaking for four hours.”
Zhou Zhi nodded and said softly, “Xiaolu, it’s cold outside. You can go back first. When the time is almost up, they will come and call you.”
He could not bear to let Su Xiaolu wait here.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “It’s fine. I’ll sit outside for a while and look at the scenery. It’ll be very painful this time. If you can’t take it, you can call me.”
She could not go too far. It was necessary for her to guard Zhou Zhi.
Hence, Zhou Zhi did not say anything else.
He entered the bath and Su Xiaolu left.
The bath was guarded both inside and outside.
Su Xiaolu did not go far. She took a look in the courtyard of the inn.
She heard some noise and couldn’t help but look over.
It was an old woman who had rushed down from upstairs with someone chasing after her.
The old woman panicked as she ran. Her hands were covered in blood as she muttered, “I can’t take this. I can’t take it… Don’t chase me. Find someone else.”
The maidservants behind her looked anxious. “Old Madam Lin, you can’t leave. What will happen to our Madam if you leave?”
“We are at least two hours away from town. It’s too late to get a doctor.”
The maidservants were about to cry.
However, Old Madam Lin still ran away without looking back. The maidservants couldn’t catch her even after chasing her downstairs. They stomped their feet anxiously, but they could only wipe their tears and return upstairs.
The waiter of the inn kept bringing hot water upstairs.
Su Xiaolu heard him mutter under his breath, “Why did the feet come out first?”
It was not difficult to guess that someone had encountered difficult labor.
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. She got up and went over to inform Jinliu and the others that she was going upstairs to take a look. They would call her if something happened.
Su Xiaolu decided to save her. After informing Jin Liu and the others, she carried the first aid kit upstairs.
As soon as he reached the third floor, he bumped into a figure rushing downstairs. Su Xiaolu recognized him at a glance and called out to him, “Lord Sun.”
Sun Yangxin froze for a moment. His thoughts returned and he focused his gaze. Only then did he see that it was Su Xiaolu. He was originally very happy to see her again, but he had something urgent to attend to now. He said, “Xiaolu, I have something to do. I don’t have time to talk to you.”
“Lord Sun, are you looking for a doctor? I’m a doctor.”
Su Xiaolu smiled at Sun Yangxin.
She never expected to meet Sun Yangxin here. The one who had a difficult labor should be Zhou Wenjing.
Su Xiaolu said to Sun Yangxin, “Lord Sun, I’ve been studying medicine since I was young. Is your wife having a difficult delivery? I’ll go up and take a look.”
Sun Yangxin looked into Su Xiaolu’s bright eyes. He gritted his teeth and chose to believe her. He said, “Okay, thank you, Xiaolu. You go first. I’ll go down and arrange for the manservant to come up immediately.”
Su Xiaolu nodded and walked towards the room on the third floor.
Sun Yangxin hurriedly went downstairs to arrange for the manservant to fetch the doctor from the town.
The room where the whimpering came from was the room where Zhou Wenjing was. The maidservants were sobbing softly inside. Zhou Wenjing’s face was terrifyingly pale on the bed, and the room reeked of blood.
Su Xiaolu took a pill and stuffed it into Zhou Wenjing’s mouth. Then, she picked up her hand and took her pulse.
Zhou Wenjing looked at Su Xiaolu. She recognized Su Xiaolu. She was terrified, but she didn’t even have the strength to speak now. She could only let Su Xiaolu do whatever she wanted.
“You’re having a difficult labor. The fetus’ heart pulse is already very weak. You don’t have to be afraid of me. I’m a doctor. Anyway, you can’t find another doctor here. Even if my medical skills aren’t good, it’s better to try everything.”
Su Xiaolu said calmly.
Zhou Wenjing gradually relaxed when she heard this because Su Xiaolu was right.
It was not time for her to give birth yet. It was not easy for her to get Sun Yangxin’s permission to come here to soak in the hot spring. However, she did not expect to give birth here. She found a midwife who ran away when she saw that she was having a difficult labor.
When Su Xiaolu came in, the maidservants had not reacted to Su Xiaolu, but they would not chase her away now.
Su Xiaolu touched Zhou Wenjing’s abdomen with both hands and felt that something was wrong. She checked carefully and was a little surprised. “You’re pregnant with twins?”
Zhou Wenjing widened her eyes in disbelief.
