To be honest, Yao shi had strong reactions during her pregnancy with JiaoJiao and Yan'er. She had morning sickness for six months during that pregnancy, which was exceptionally difficult. However, the actual childbirth went relatively smoothly.

Gu Yan's health issues were due to premature birth, not because she had a difficult delivery.

Imperial Physician Luo asked Physician Liu what she had done for Yao shi's treatment, and Physician Liu replied, "I intended to feed her some labor-inducing medication, but unfortunately, she vomits whatever she eats, and she can't even keep water down."

"Imperial Physician! How is my wife's condition?"

Marquis Gu was anxiously waiting outside.

"Try preparing some ginseng soup for Madame. If that doesn't work, let her eat whatever she wants, but she must conserve her strength and not exert herself or cry." Imperial Physician Luo instructed Grannie Fang before leaving the delivery room.

He then told Marquis Gu the truth, "Madame's condition is not very optimistic, and there's a high likelihood of difficult childbirth."

Typically, for first-time mothers, the first stage of labor lasted five to six hours, while for experienced mothers, it lasted three to four hours.

Yao shi had only been in labor for less than two hours since her water broke, which was not yet a clear indication of difficult childbirth.

However, based on the experiences of Imperial Physician Luo and Physician Liu as seasoned medical practitioners, along with Yao shi's pulse, the two of them tacitly predicted Yao shi's condition.

It was just that Physician Liu didn't dare to say it, but Imperial Physician Luo did.

Marquis Gu felt like he had fallen into an icy pit, and his entire body was soaked with coldness!

Gu Yan's young face turned extremely pale, and Xiao Heng stood by his side. Gu Yan unconsciously tightened his grip on Xiao Heng's sleeve.

Xiao Heng pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

Gu Jiao was on a house visit, and there was nothing he could do to help in this situation. He just hoped that the dark guards would bring Gu Jiao back as soon as possible.

When both dark guards went to the medical hall and heard that Gu Jiao wasn’t there, one of them had gone to where Gu Jiao was to inform her of the matter while the other had brought Physician Liu here first.

In fact, Gu Jiao had already received news of Yao shi's condition, but she was at the scene of a serious incident at a gambling den where three people had been severely injured and their lives were in jeopardy.

She and Physician Song were busy trying to save the injured.

"Hemostatic forceps!" She knelt on the ground, extending her hand.

Physician Song skillfully handed her the hemostatic forceps.

She used the hemostatic forceps to clamp the injured person's blood vessels.

"Suction." She said next.

The portable negative pressure suction device from the research institute had only recently appeared. She wasn't sure if it was a result of her recovering strength, but it seemed that the equipment that could appear in her little medicine chest was gradually increasing. If this was indeed the case, then there might be hope for Gu Yan's heart surgery.

Physician Song had been following Gu Jiao for a long time, so he was no longer surprised by the peculiar things in her medicine chest. He even understood how to use them.

He suctioned out the blood and fluid from the patient's abdominal cavity.

Gu Jiao found remnants of a dart still inside the patient's abdominal cavity and used forceps to remove it.

It was a close call, as the spleen was almost ruptured. It was hard to say whether the patient was lucky or not.

Gu Jiao continued to work with Physician Song until late at night, and they managed to save all the patients.

"I'll take them back to the medical hall. You should hurry back." Physician Song told Gu Jiao. The dark guard had been waiting outside the room for a while, and he knew something had happened at home.

Gu Jiao nodded and returned to Bishui Alley with Dark Guard A.

Yao shi's contractions were intensifying, but there was no sign of the baby being born.

During this time, Gu Yan's heart condition almost acted up. Xiao Heng promptly gave him medication and coaxed him back to his room to rest, with Gu Xiaoshun keeping an eye on him.

Little Jing Kong was unaware that Yao shi was having a difficult childbirth. Xiao Heng informed him and persuaded him to go to sleep, promising him that he would have a little sister or brother by morning. Little Jing Kong happily cuddled his small pillow and went to bed!

Gu Jiao first discussed Yao shi's situation with Imperial Physician Luo and Physician Liu in the main room.

Grannie Fang was there too, and she kept wiping away her tears, "Madame has gone into premature labor again..."

"It's not considered premature labor.” Gu Jiao said.

Labor before 37 weeks was considered premature, but Yao shi was already 38 weeks pregnant, making this a full-term pregnancy.

In fact, Physician Liu had also mentioned that labor during this month was normal, but Grannie Fang couldn't believe it until Gu Jiao confirmed it. Only then did Grannie Fang ease her worries slightly.

However, even with a full-term pregnancy, there was no guarantee of a smooth delivery.

"I'll go check on her first." Gu Jiao said as she entered the delivery room.

After Gu Jiao and others entered the delivery room, Marquis Gu suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Was it that girl just now? Why did she come to disrupt things at such a crucial moment?"

He was about to follow into the delivery room to drag Gu Jiao out when Grannie Fang stopped him.

Grannie Fang said, "Lord Marquis, please don't create trouble. Let the eldest young miss check on Madame!"

"Me? Creating trouble?" Marquis Gu pointed at himself, seriously doubting whether he had heard correctly. Wasn't it that girl who was causing trouble? Even if she wasn’t sensible, she shouldn't disturb her mother at such a crucial moment!

Her mother was in the middle of labor!

Jinyu was still the sensible one!

"Father!"

Speak of the devil and the devil would come.

Gu Jinyu, looking disheveled, jumped down from the carriage, nearly disregarding her status as a young lady. She hurriedly ran towards Marquis Gu.

"Father! Grannie Fang!" She greeted both of them.

Grannie Fang, with a polite yet somewhat distant demeanor, returned a bow, "Second young miss."

Marquis Gu, in his anxiety, didn't pay much attention to Grannie Fang's less respectful attitude toward Gu Jinyu compared to their interactions back at the estate, and Gu Jinyu didn't seem to mind either.

She looked at Marquis Gu and said, "Father, I heard that mother is about to give birth. How come it’s so fast?"
