Volume 1 Chapter 104 Unless surgery is performed
Han Caiwei was taken aback: "Me?" Wasn't she just dragged here to be a prop? Wasn't her task just to wait for Li Xiuzhen to finish speaking and then accompany him back?
She's just curious about Wang's illness, no need to make her take his pulse, right?
Li Xiuzhen said: "Come over here, what are you standing there for?"
Everyone in the house was shocked, no one had ever heard that Han Caiwei would have medical skills. Although she brought some medicine last time and said it was personally brewed by herself, no one believed it. Now that Li Xiuzhen has spoken, everyone is stunned. But since it was said by the Third Prince himself, no one dared to stop him, not even the mother of the Wang family's daughter-in-law, who just pursed her lips and looked at her own daughter, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Han Caiwei could only slowly walk over, watching as Wang Shi slightly nodded her head. Qiu Hua had been following Han Caiwei and now came out from the side, moving a round stool to let her sit down, then took Wang Shi's hand and placed it on a small pillow, finally allowing Han Caiwei to take her pulse.
Then she spoke up. The time it took her to feel his pulse was not short, because Li Xiuchun did not speak, and the people in the house also did not dare to speak.
The mother of the Wang family's maternal home was visibly more tense when Han Caiwei put her hand on Wang Shi's pulse, but Wang Shi was fine, just looking down with an unreadable expression. Shao Yan was calm and composed.
The southern region was shrouded in mist. Han Caiwei's expression changed from shock to admiration to surprise and finally to regret, her emotions were complex and unpredictable. She glanced at Li Xiuzhen with a gaze that was too complicated to decipher, leaving Li Xiuzhen momentarily unable to grasp the subtleties.
She put down her hand and looked at Wang with a slight frown, deep in thought. Li Xiuzhen saw this and asked: "What's wrong?"
Han Caiwei furrowed her brow, unsure whether to speak or not. She always felt that saying such things was not good, and hiding them was even worse. For a moment, she was torn and even regretful, thinking that if only she hadn't come over to take his pulse just now, it would have been better. It was all because of her own curiosity.
Li Xiuxian saw through her mind, turned to look at Wang Shi for a moment, and then said to Han Caiwei: "I want to hear the truth from you, just speak freely."
Han Caiwei knew she couldn't avoid it, glanced at Wang Shi and said to Qiu Hua: "Qiu Hua, take them all out and wait outside, don't come in unless I call you!"
Qiu Hua followed his words and went out, those maids also followed him out, leaving only Han Caiwei and Li Xiuzhen in the house, as well as Wang's mother.
Han Caiwei looked at Wang Shi, and once she touched on something related to medicine, her eyes were extremely calm, even cold-blooded. This was a habit that had been cultivated over many years and was hard to change. Moreover, the matter itself made her feel very uncomfortable in her heart, and the result of taking the pulse afterwards was like pouring a basin of cold water on Han Caiwei's barely sprouting heart.
"Sister Wang, I have a few questions for you. If you still want to keep your life, you'd better answer me truthfully. Otherwise, even the gods won't be able to save you from your illness."
Wang furrowed his brow and sighed: "Ask away."
Han Caiwei pursed her lips and said: "Your period hasn't come for two months now, has it?"
Wang nodded: "Yes."
Han Caiwei's heart chilled: "You have a clear pulse, that doctor also told you, right?"
Wang nodded: "Yes."
She had Li Xiucheng's flesh and blood, and at the moment she learned about it, her heart was filled with mixed emotions of joy and worry. However, in the end, her efforts were not in vain, and she did have the prince's child after all. But the words spoken by Lang Zhong afterwards made her feel as if she had been soaked from head to toe in icy cold water, with no warmth anywhere on her body.
Han Caiwei's heart was as cold as her expression, fortunately, she only slightly moved her heart, then at this moment, remembered a sentence she once told Shen Feibai: You loving me is your own business, it has nothing to do with me.
It's okay, she can now tell herself that even if she falls in love with Li Xiuzhi, it's just her own business and has nothing to do with him. His love is also his own business, he loves his, she passes hers.
"Third Master, Eldest Sister is already two months pregnant." Han Caiwei said this sentence with a calm heart, without any feeling, just as naturally as saying that today's pork is very cheap.
The king's wife had no joy on her face, she didn't even dare to look up at Li Xiuzhen, and even the mother of the Wang family was avoiding Li Xiuzhen's gaze. After a while, he said faintly: "I'll give you a chance to explain."
In the Three Kingdoms' imperial palace, every woman who was favored by the king had to drink medicine after the event to prevent pregnancy. If the king allowed it, she didn't have to drink it if she became pregnant.
Han Chaiwei was a complete surprise, Li Xiuzhen was so angry at the time that he forgot about it, and later no one bothered to ask about it, who knew that this would happen.
But Li Xiuzhen remembered that the last time he met Wang Shi was two months ago, and at that time, he saw Wang Shi swallow the medicine.
Wang remained silent for a while, then said: "It was my mistake, I've been secretly taking care of myself, I wanted to have a child to accompany me, after swallowing the medicine last time, I spat it out later, so there is."
Li Xiuxian took a deep breath, his eyes icy cold: "You have a lot of nerve! How dare you deceive me -" He had originally wanted the Wang family to abort the child, but it was his own flesh and blood, and for some reason, he felt a pang in his heart. "If you can give birth to it, then..."
"This child cannot be born," Han Caiwei said coldly. Li Xiuzhen looked at her, but she didn't look at anyone and just said, "Can't the king see that she's already in this state? Although she's two months pregnant, her body is severely damaged. The medicinal pills she took last year have harmed her uterus, so even if we try to treat her, it will be useless. If we force her to continue the pregnancy, she won't even make it to ten months before having a miscarriage. And looking at Princess Wang's condition, I'm afraid it's even more dangerous than that."
Han Caiwei said here, looking at Wang and asking: "Have you had any bleeding symptoms recently?"
At this critical juncture, Wang also had nothing good to hide, and hung his head, saying: "It's been three days already, and my lower abdomen has been cramping painfully. I've been having trouble sleeping these past few days. I just wanted to keep the child, but the doctor said it couldn't be saved, and could only drag me along."
"Nonsense!" Han Caiwei scolded, "He's playing with your life! Don't you know your own body? You're no longer suitable for pregnancy, and forcing it will only harm yourself. This child can't even be born! From your pulse and symptoms, I can tell that this is an ectopic pregnancy! If we drag it out, someone will die!"
Seeing the three people looking confused, Han Caiwei sighed and said: "It's what you ordinary people call a miscarriage. This is similar to that symptom. You're not advanced here, no equipment, can only treat it as that! Let me put it this way, your child should be in the place where you nurture children, but because your body is damaged, this child is not in its rightful place, which will cause you to have this condition. If things go wrong, even your own life may be in danger!"
Han Caiwei was well aware that an ectopic pregnancy in ancient times was incurable unless surgery was performed.
