Chapter 458: The Gynecology Expert

He warmly approached Heziming and clasped his fists in greeting. "Big brother, you must be exhausted from the long journey. Please come home with me first, and we can talk slowly."

Heziming was no stranger to Mo Jiuye. The latter, a general who had rendered great service to the Great Shun, had been met not only on the day of his sister's wedding but also glimpsed a few times by Heziming during Mo Jiuye's victory parade through the streets.

"Brother-in-law, how is Ranran’s condition now?"

Heziming's primary concern at the moment was his sister's health. He feared something might happen to her if he arrived too late.

Hearing his brother-in-law inquire about his wife's condition, Mo Jiuye instinctively glanced inside the carriage. Although he had learned how to perform a cesarean section, he still hoped that if possible, his wife wouldn't need to undergo surgery. He was hoping that Heziming had managed to bring the gynecology expert this time, so not only would his wife have a chance to give birth without surgery, but there would also be an added layer of safety.

However, he found that the carriage was empty, completely devoid of anyone.

Not wanting to crush his hopes just yet, Mo Jiuye looked behind the carriage, hoping that he had just missed it and that a second carriage carrying the gynecology expert was following behind.

To his disappointment, there was nothing there.

"Big brother, didn't you bring the gynecology expert with you this time?"

Seeing him ask this, Heziming covered his mouth with his fist and chuckled lightly.

"If I said I am the gynecology expert everyone talks about, would you believe me, brother-in-law?"

Mo Jiuye was stunned.

Although he hadn't had much interaction with this brother-in-law in the Imperial City, he had heard that Heziming had been well-read since childhood and rarely socialized outside. Especially when he heard recently that Heziming had performed well in the imperial examinations, it confirmed that Heziming was indeed well-read.

If Heziming were to say something about his scholarly knowledge, Mo Jiuye would not have any doubts. But what did he just say?

That he was the gynecology expert?

How could that be possible?

Seeing Mo Jiuye standing there dumbfounded, Zhang San stepped forward to explain:

"To be honest with you, young master, neither my master nor mistress knew that the young master is the gynecology expert.

When I sent word back to the master, saying that the mistress had asked him to find the gynecology expert and send him to the Northwest, the people in the Imperial City all know that the gynecology expert's whereabouts are uncertain. To find him, one must hang notes on a large locust tree there.

The gynecology expert sends someone to collect the notes periodically and chooses a few households with severe conditions to treat.

The most important thing is that the gynecology expert appears and disappears without a trace, always dressed in white and veiled, so no one knows his true identity.

When the master heard that the eldest young miss was pregnant with twins and asked the gynecology expert for help, we could only decide to take a chance by hanging notes on the big locust tree.

To make sure the gynecology expert noticed our request, the master and I went to the big locust tree every day to hang many notes.

The master was deeply worried about this matter, fearing that the gynecology expert wouldn't see our request or that he wouldn't check the notes in time. If that happened, even if we found the person, it would be too late for the eldest young miss to give birth.

Noticing that I went to the city gate every day, the young master asked me the reason and only then learned that we were looking for the gynecology expert to come to the Northwest to save his sister..."

When Lord He learned that his son was the famous gynecology expert in the Imperial City, he was completely astonished.

After all, this son had always been personally taught by him. All he ever did was study, so when did he become an expert in gynecology?

In fact, unknown to others, He Ziming's interest in medicine was inspired by something He Zhiran said.

When he was eight years old, he noticed that his mother would suffer from abdominal pain roughly once a month.

At that time, Zhiran was only five years old and would cling to her mother throughout the day.

When the little girl asked her mother for a hug, her mother would say that she wasn't feeling well that day and would hug her the next day.

Disappointed at not getting her way, the little girl said sadly, "Mother is sick. Ran Ran will learn medicine to heal her."

This was overheard by He Ziming, who had just returned from school. He thought, how could his sister, being a girl, practice medicine and help their mother?

As her elder brother, he naturally had to take the lead.

However, their father was usually very strict with him and would not permit him to study medicine.

Therefore, he could only secretly buy books to learn on his own.

After some time, He Ziming had already determined that his mother was suffering from a gynecological disease, and that this condition was very difficult to treat. Otherwise, why would doctors visit their home almost every month, but her condition never improved?

He Ziming secretly resolved that he would specialize in gynecology in the future and ensure he improved his mother's health.

He studied gynecological medicine diligently in secret, without affecting his regular education.

While on a trip, he was blocked by a crowd up ahead.

He learned that a pregnant woman was in early labor while traveling and could no longer continue by carriage. She was sitting on the ground, tears streaming down her face, while her maid pleaded with passersby to fetch a doctor from nearby.

In such a situation, He Ziming, who had studied gynecology for many years, knew that the woman needed to give birth immediately to avoid danger. However, as a man, it was inconvenient for him to assist with the delivery, so he had the maid find something to use as a screen.

The maid fetched a cloak from the carriage to shield the woman. He Ziming checked the woman's pulse through the cover and then pressed on her belly, before instructing the maid to follow his directions.

Under He Ziming's guidance, the woman successfully gave birth to a child on the road.

His actions were observed by an elderly man who was also passing by.

Just as He Ziming was about to mount his horse and leave after the successful delivery, the old man blocked his way.

The old man simply said that He Ziming had a talent for medicine, especially evident in the way he guided the maid in assisting her mistress in childbirth. His understanding of gynecology was extraordinary.

The old man took a yellowed book from his robe and handed it to He Ziming.

He told him that he had not much time left to live and that this book contained the essence of his lifelong medical knowledge. He hoped that He Ziming would continue to carry forward his life's work.

Before He Ziming could react, the old man had already departed.

At first, He Ziming did not think much of the book, but when he opened it during his free time that night, he was shocked.

It turned out that the old man was the gynecological miracle doctor spoken of by everyone in Great Shun. This person was elusive, living a mysterious life.

The doctor had a quirky disposition; he treated patients based on his whim, regardless of their wealth or status.

He Ziming knew about this gynecological miracle doctor because of his mother's illness.

He had always known that his mother had gynecological issues, and every month when she had her menstruation, she would endure unbearable pain.

His father had repeatedly sent people out to find this miracle doctor to treat his mother, but to no avail.
