Chapter 254 Invitation
Lu Yangyang did not answer Princess Qing'an, but looked at the Crown Princess.
"I will do my best to save you."
After the Crown Princess took the pill, the pain gradually subsided, and her mind became somewhat muddled, but she could still hear Lu Yangyang's voice clearly, and she nodded with difficulty.
Lu Yangyang steadily lowered the scalpel.
Not long after, accompanied by the cry of a baby, Princess Qing'an, who had been unable to bear the sight, looked at Lu Yangyang in shock, then at the Crown Princess lying on the bed. She was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she grabbed the hand of the nanny beside her and slumped into a chair.
After confirming that the baby was alright, Lu Yangyang handed the child to the midwife to clean and continued the surgery.
Soon, the second and third children were also delivered.
There were two boys and a little girl.
The three children were all younger than each other. The youngest girl was barely breathing, but fortunately, she was still alive and well.
Lu Yangyang dared to perform the surgery without hesitation because she had undergone the same procedure when she was in the countryside.
At that time, she was younger and had even less trust, but she charged less money. Midwives from nearby villages took pity on her and knew she had this skill, so they would bring her along when they encountered difficult childbirths. She was bold, careful, and steady, and could save the mother's life without taking away business. Therefore, she had a good reputation among midwives, and as a result, the number of people dying in childbirth in the nearby villages decreased significantly.
So even though she hadn't done it for a long time, she wasn't rusty at all. The countless times she practiced with her aunt when she was young had become muscle memory.
After delivering the baby, she handed it to the midwife and continued to clean and suture the wound methodically. Thanks to her master, she now has no shortage of surgical sutures.
After the wound was completely stitched up, she had her maid help clean the bloodstains off the Crown Princess's body, bandaged the wound, and checked the Crown Princess's pulse to make sure it was stable before finally letting out a sigh of relief. At this time, the Crown Princess, who was already exhausted, finally fell asleep peacefully.
After doing all this, Lu Yangyang turned to look at the Princess Qing'an, who was still in shock. The Princess Qing'an finally came to her senses and quickly walked over. Seeing Lu Yangyang covered in blood, she asked with red eyes, "Miss Lu, what about A-Li...?"
"She's alright for now, but we still need to observe her condition. I'll wait here until tomorrow when I'm sure she's completely out of danger before leaving. I'll write down a prescription later, and you can have someone prepare the medicine so she can drink it when she wakes up," Lu Yangyang replied cautiously.
Princess Qing'an knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness?" Lu Yangyang looked at her in surprise, wanting to reach out to help her, but she was covered in blood, so she stiffened her hand and looked at the old woman beside her.
The nanny hurriedly helped Princess Qing'an up.
Princess Qing'an took a deep breath: "I, I was just scared. Many years ago, I heard that the Ghost Hand Doctor had the ability to remove a child from the abdomen without harming the person. I just thought it was a legend. I never thought that many years later, I would actually see it with my own eyes."
Princess Qing'an was truly terrified. She had come in because she was worried that Lu Yangyang was too young to keep the people in the house in check. So, for the sake of her son and daughter-in-law, she came in to oversee the situation herself. But she never expected to witness such a scene. Even though she had seen her share of storms, she was still quite frightened.
This is truly amazing! How can someone survive after having their abdomen cut open? It's just too incredible.
At this moment, Prince Zongqi rushed in, instinctively glancing at the bed. He took a few steps forward and grasped the Princess's hand. Relieved to find it warm, he turned to Lu Yangyang and asked, "Miss Lu, what about A-Li...?"
"It's alright for now," Lu Yangyang replied.
Zong Qi's joy was instantly palpable. He stood up and respectfully bowed deeply to Lu Yangyang, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, Miss Lu. If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my utmost."
Lu Yangyang had a good impression of the Princess Consort and the Heir Apparent of the Prince of Qing'an's Mansion, and hurriedly waved her hand: "I am just a doctor, saving lives is my duty."
Princess Qing'an also came to her senses at this moment and hurriedly instructed the nanny beside her: "Miss Lu has worked hard. Quickly send someone to arrange for Miss Lu to rest and have the kitchen prepare some food to send to Miss Lu."
Lu Yangyang thanked her and left with the maid.
As they were leaving, they overheard Princess Qing'an saying to the Crown Prince, "My son, your wife has really suffered a lot this time. You must treat her well from now on."
Stepping out of the courtyard, Lu Yangyang said to the maid beside her, "Your young master and his wife have such a good relationship."
The maid covered her mouth and chuckled. Because Lu Yangyang had saved their Crown Princess's life, she said to Lu Yangyang in a low voice, "Miss, you don't know this, but our Crown Princess didn't initially take a liking to our Crown Prince. It's just that our Princess is such a kind person that the Crown Princess quickly fell for him. You see, it's true, our Princess is a kind person, and our Crown Princess is also lucky."
Lu Yangyang didn't expect there to be such a story, and it was quite interesting.
It turns out that when a woman chooses a husband, she not only considers his character, but also the character of his family.
Thinking this, she quickly shook her head. She had really been influenced by Sheng Yunjiao's nagging lately. Why was she starting to think about husbands? She was still young and didn't want to get married at all.
She used to only want to prove herself, but the longer she stayed in the capital and the more she learned and saw, the more she seemed to understand the meaning of what her aunt had taught her. It could not only save her, but also save many more people.
She doesn't understand the power of those in power, nor can she see through the wickedness of people's hearts, but she can still use what she has learned to save a life, just like today.
The things that my elder brother and the crown prince did were to enable more people to live a better life, and what she did could also save one person, or many people.
Lu Yangyang could still faintly hear the baby crying from the courtyard behind her. It was the sound of new life and joy. Such a good family should live well.
Lu Yangyang stayed at the Prince of Qing'an's residence for two days. When she returned to the Princess's residence, the news of how she miraculously saved the Princess Consort of the Prince of Qing'an's residence had spread everywhere. As soon as Lu Yangyang entered the house, the residence received countless gifts, some from the Prince of Qing'an's residence, and others from the Princess Consort's family and relatives, which filled the entire room.
At the same time, she indeed received an invitation to the palace to attend a welcoming banquet for foreign envoys visiting the capital.
Lu Yangyang opened the invitation and checked the date. Li Duan had indeed been right; the welcoming banquet was scheduled for her coming-of-age ceremony.
Lu Yangyang was looking at the invitation when Granny Shen led Mingruo in. "Miss, Young Master Ming has arrived."
Lu Yangyang hurriedly got up and casually placed the unfolded invitation on the table.
Mingruo's gaze fell on the invitation, and her eyes darkened slightly.
