Chapter 18 The Virtue of Doctor

The royal doctor continued the key remark, "Now it is in a dilemma: although the princess was given parturifacient, the orifice of the uterus remains closed; the princess needs to put forth her strength; however, if the main acupuncture points are closed to stop the spreading poison, the princess will be powerless to give birth to a baby. But I suspect the fetus is suffocated in the uterus and suggest the fetus, alive or dead, be born, so that the princess might survive."

Indeed, the situation was indecisive.

The audience was helpless. Arthur squatted, and hands laced behind head, said in a sorrowful tone, "How could I do nothing and watch my princess die?"

Queen Eliza's face turned pale. She knelt down to pray for heaven, aggrieved, "I am a devout Buddhist and free of meat or fish in my declining years. I wish nothing but imperial descendants safe and sound. Heavens, pity on me!"
