Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

She had practiced cesarean section countless times, and her former medical teacher even said that she had some talent.

However, the condition of the fetus in Li's womb has not yet been checked, so it is unknown whether it is more suitable to give birth or to have a cesarean section.

There were too many people in the carriage, so she couldn't possibly bring Li Shi into the space in front of so many people. I couldn't just take out those diagnostic instruments directly.

Moreover, the carriage was extremely bumpy; even an ordinary person couldn't stand it, let alone the horse, which had just been startled and couldn't slow down at all.

How could this possibly be suitable for production!

We need to find a secluded place.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay, it's okay. Take it slow, breathe calmly, don't rush, don't be nervous. Trust me, you and the baby will be fine."

Li's face turned pale with pain, and cold sweat poured down her forehead. She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, but she still nodded to Ji Yunshu.

The old princess and the others kept comforting Li Shi, telling her not to be nervous. Li Mama, who was with the old princess, had some experience.

When the old princess gave birth to several princes, she had assisted the midwives and could understand some of the procedures. She was extremely anxious.

"Oh no, what should we do? I just checked on the First Madam, and the baby's head is facing upwards! The baby's position is wrong! The baby's position is wrong! It won't be able to give birth like this!"

"We need to find a very experienced doctor or midwife to help the madam turn the baby's head in her womb. Otherwise, if things continue like this, not only will the baby not be able to be born, but the mother will also be in danger!"

What!

Everyone was shocked!

Although they didn't know how to deliver babies, they still believed what Granny Li said. Granny Li had been in the Prince's mansion for many years and was extremely loyal to it. Since she dared to say such a thing, it must be true.

Now, everyone panicked completely. They were all women who knew how difficult childbirth was for women, especially when the baby was in the wrong position!

If the baby is in the wrong position, no matter how hard the woman tries or what methods she uses, she will not be able to give birth.

In the best-case scenario, the baby suffocates inside the womb, and the adult loses most of their life force. However, if something goes wrong, both the adult and the baby could die!

Even the usually composed old princess couldn't hold back anymore. Tears streamed down her face, and her lips trembled with nervousness. She wanted to reach out and touch Li Shi, but was afraid of hurting her. The group was in a panic, running around like headless flies.

If they were still in the capital, or in a prince's mansion, they could hire a midwife or a doctor to help the baby in the womb with a head lift. But now they are in the middle of nowhere, and none of them know how to deliver a baby.

The old princess touched Li's face with trembling hands, trying her best to soften her voice.

"My child, my good child, it's alright, it's alright. Hang in there, Mom will figure something out. In a little while, Mom will go and see if any other families have anyone who can deliver babies."

"Don't worry, besides us, there's the Minister's Mansion, the Luo family, and the Zhou family. Even if I have to beg them, I'll find a way to save you."

As the old princess spoke, tears kept falling. They all knew that these words were just to comfort themselves. All those who were exiled were people who were used to being waited on hand and foot in the capital. How could they possibly be midwives?

But right now, they had no other choice. The old princess said this because she was really panicked and didn't know what to do.

Ji Yunshu frowned, finally unable to bear it. Although she couldn't deliver babies, she estimated that her medical skills were the best among all those in exile.

She herself knew that there would definitely be no midwives among the exiled people; otherwise, in the original story, Li would not have ended up losing both her unborn child.

"Second sister-in-law, when I was still in my boudoir, I learned a little about medicine. I want to try and see if I can help you give birth to your child safely."

The old princess held Li's hand, looking at Ji Yunshu with disbelief and a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Old man, third son's wife, are you telling the truth? You really have some medical knowledge?! Then please save your eldest sister-in-law, please save her!"

The old princess cried her heart out. It's no wonder she was so heartbroken. She had worried her whole life. Her husband and son had passed away one after another, leaving her only with her youngest son and daughter. Her three wives had married into the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, but they never had a good life before the mansion suffered a disaster. It was such a pity to lose three such excellent wives.

Ji Yunshu gently stroked the old princess's hand, her tone earnest.

"Mother, don't worry, I will do my best to ensure that my sister-in-law and the baby are safe and sound. But the carriage is so bumpy right now, it's definitely not a good place to give birth. We need to find a quieter place to stop the carriage so that my sister-in-law can give birth in peace."

Madam Chen nodded hurriedly, quickly lifted the carriage curtain, and loudly addressed Xie Lin, who was driving the carriage.

"Xelin, find a place to stop the carriage. Your princess said that the First Lady needs a quiet environment to give birth, and the carriage is too bumpy."

Sherin's expression was solemn, and he gripped the reins even tighter.

"I understand, Second Madam. Tell them to hurry up and I'll find a safe place to stop the carriage."

As Sherlin finished speaking, the carriage sped up considerably, but while it was faster, the bumps were not as severe as before.

A moment later, the carriage stopped beside a grove of trees, which were tall and dense, blocking the scorching sun overhead.

Xie Lin deliberately chose a flat and shady spot. As soon as the carriage stopped, Xie Mohuan also drove another carriage to park beside the woods.

She was just about to go check on Li's condition when she heard Xie Moyao from inside the carriage say...

"Little sister, take Sherin to check the surrounding area and see if the disaster victims have caught up yet."

Xie Mohuan nodded, not bothering to check on her sister-in-law's condition, and she and Xie Lin split up to patrol around the carriage.

My brother is right. In the current situation, if there are still refugees hiding around who want to harm them and take action against them, it will undoubtedly make things worse for my sister-in-law.

Xie Moyao lay alone in the carriage. He tried to get up to check on his sister-in-law, but after moving for a long time, his legs still didn't respond at all. At this moment, he even felt like a burden.

He now only prays that his sister-in-law's condition isn't too bad, and that Ji Yunshu can truly ensure the safety of his sister-in-law and child.

On another carriage

As soon as the carriage stopped, Ji Yunshu had Xiaolan and Granny Li lead the old princess and her second sister-in-law out of the carriage. Inside the carriage, only she and her eldest sister-in-law, Madam Li, remained.

Li was exhausted, her groans were not as loud as before, and even the strength in her grip on Ji Yunshu's hand was much weaker, but there was still no sign of the baby in her belly coming out.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you alright?"

She tried to keep Li conscious, but as time passed, Li completely lost consciousness and became unresponsive no matter how much she called out to her.

Ji Yunshu gritted her teeth. If this dragged on any longer, her sister-in-law would die. She opened the carriage curtain and instructed the people outside that no matter what happened outside, no one was allowed to come in without her permission.
