On this cold morning, Qiu Shuang's journey to study medicine officially began.

Jiang Yanwan took her to the backyard of the clinic and pointed to the shelves full of medicinal herbs and said, "Qiushuang, you should be familiar with these herbs. Different diseases require different herbs to treat them."

Qiu Shuang nodded, her eyes full of seriousness and anticipation.

At this time, a panting woman pushed open the door of the clinic, looking extremely anxious.

When she saw Jiang Yanwan, she ran over and said, "Doctor Jiang, please go and see my sister-in-law Liu Ying. She is about to give birth, but the situation is not good!"

Jiang Yanwan immediately stood up and said, "Qiushuang, this is a very good learning opportunity. Come with me."

Qiu Shuang followed Jiang Yanwan closely and soon arrived at Liu Ying's home.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Liu Ying's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Several family members stood nearby with an impatient look on their faces, seemingly not caring about her life or safety.

"Doctor Jiang, please save her quickly!" The woman grabbed Jiang Yanwan's sleeve and cried.

Jiang Yanwan nodded and began to carefully check Liu Ying's pulse and symptoms.

She frowned and thought to herself: This is clearly a difficult birth. If emergency measures are not taken, the lives of both mother and child will be in danger.

She turned to Qiu Shuang and said, "Qiu Shuang, take out my silver needles and painkillers." Although Qiu Shuang was nervous, she quickly followed her master's instructions to get the medicine.

At this time, Liu Ying's mother-in-law said angrily: "This matter can be delayed as long as possible. The baby in her belly is a money-loser anyway. Why save her?"

Qiu Shuang was furious when she heard this. "How can you say that? She is your daughter-in-law, and she is still a life!"

Liu Ying's mother-in-law sneered, "Women should always give birth to children. If things don't work out, you can always remarry. Giving birth to a money-losing child will only cause trouble to the family. It's better not to give birth."

Qiu Shuang was so angry that she was shaking all over, but Jiang Yanwan said calmly: "Now is not the time to argue. The lives of the mother and the fetus are in danger. They must be treated immediately."

Grandma Liu Ying wanted to say something else, but was frightened by Jiang Yanwan's sharp gaze and did not speak again.

Qiu Shuang handed over the silver needles and painkillers, and Jiang Yanwan immediately began to give acupuncture to stabilize Liu Ying's condition.

As Jiang Yanwan's silver needle accurately penetrated the acupuncture points, Liu Ying's breathing gradually stabilized.

Jiang Yanwan took out a few herbs from the medicine box, quickly boiled a decoction, and fed it to Liu Ying.

"Qiushuang, I will assist in the birth in a while, so just do as I say." Jiang Yanwan ordered.

As time went by, Liu Ying gradually fell into unbearable pain, and her screams resounded throughout the room. The other people in Liu Ying's family unconsciously stepped back a few steps, only Qiu Shuang stood firmly beside Jiang Yanwan.

"Qiushuang, hold her shoulders and keep her stable." Jiang Yanwan gave instructions while steadily handling every step of the midwifery.

Qiu Shuang concentrated her attention, holding Liu Ying's shoulders tightly, trying to keep her in the best posture.

At this moment, Liu Ying let out a heart-wrenching scream, accompanied by the cry of a baby, and a little girl finally came into this world.

"It's a girl." Qiu Shuang told Liu Ying excitedly, with tears in her eyes.

Liu Ying smiled weakly, glanced at her daughter, and closed her eyes.

Jiang Yanwan did not relax, she continued to do follow-up treatment for Liu Ying to ensure her safety. Finally, after a busy period, Liu Ying's condition finally stabilized.

Liu Ying's family looked at the baby with complicated expressions. The old lady was still impatient, "It's just a money-losing product. If I had known it would be like this..."

Jiang Yanwan interrupted her coldly, "These are all lives, regardless of gender, and they deserve respect and love. I hope you can cherish them."

Qiu Shuang couldn't help but add: "If you treat Liu Ying and the child like this again, I will never sit idly by!"

That night, Liu Ying and her daughter rested temporarily in the clinic. Jiang Yanwan and Qiu Shuang took care of them and ensured their safety and recovery.

The next morning, Jiang Yanwan ordered someone to bring the news back to the palace. Soon after, a luxurious carriage stopped outside the clinic.

A palace maid in gorgeous robes walked into the clinic and bowed respectfully to Jiang Yanwan: "Doctor Jiang, I heard that you took in a woman who had a difficult delivery and her child. His Majesty is very concerned about them and has ordered me to take them to the palace."

Qiu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and asked Jiang Yanwan in a low voice: "Master, what's going on?"

Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly, "This is your majesty's grace. Liu Ying and her daughter cannot get the proper care here. After entering the palace, at least their lives will be guaranteed."

Qiu Shuang nodded, secretly grateful for the emperor's kindness.

Afterwards, she helped put Liu Ying and the little girl into the carriage and watched the carriage go away.

That evening, Liu Ying's family members rushed to the clinic after hearing the news. As soon as they entered the clinic, they began to look around and kept calling out "Liu Ying".

As soon as Qiu Shuang saw them, her face immediately turned cold. The mother-in-law who had once sneered at Liu Ying now smiled with greed and calculation in her eyes.

"Miss Qiu Shuang, we just came to see Liu Ying and the child. We heard that they were taken to the palace. This is such a great joy!" she said flatteringly.

Qiu Shuang snorted coldly, "You guys remember to care about them now? Yesterday you were hoping she would die!"

Liu Ying's husband waved his fist angrily, "We are worried too. Now that they have been taken to the palace, can we also enjoy some of the blessings..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiu Shuang interrupted him. "Don't let your imagination run wild. Liu Ying and the child are safe now. If you really care about them, you should treat them well from the beginning instead of adding insult to injury when they are in trouble."

Liu Ying's mother-in-law was unwilling to give in and took another step forward, "Miss Qiu Shuang, please be flexible. After all, we are a family."

Qiu Shuang stared at her coldly, "A family? Everyone in the clinic saw your attitude yesterday. Now you just want to use their names to make money. I will never allow you to hurt them again."

Seeing Qiu Shuang's firm attitude, the mother-in-law immediately showed a fierce look, "You little girl, stop meddling in other people's business! We are her relatives, what qualifications do you have to stop us!"

Qiu Shuang refused to give in. "Although I am young, I know what is right and wrong. If you continue to make trouble, I will have to ask the clinic to kick you out."

Jiang Yanwan also came out at the right time and said coldly: "Qiu Shuang is right. Liu Ying and the child are now blessed by the emperor and no longer belong to your family. If you continue to pester me, I will report it to the government. Don't regret it then."

Seeing this, Liu Ying's family had no choice but to leave the clinic angrily. After they left, Qiu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jiang Yanwan and asked, "Master, can we really protect Liu Ying and the child?"

Jiang Yanwan patted Qiu Shuang's shoulder comfortingly, "As long as we work hard, they will definitely live a better life. As for those selfish people, don't pay any attention to them."

Qiu Shuang nodded and made up her mind, "I will work harder to study medicine in the future. Only in this way can I help more helpless people like Liu Ying."

Jiang Yanwan smiled and said, "Your ambition is good, but remember to keep your original intention. Doctors are kind-hearted. They should not only cure diseases and save lives, but also protect their dignity and rights."
