Half-elf palace.
Colin walked through the dark corridor and came to a secret basement.
There is a faint smell of blood in the air, and there is also a lingering breath of death.
"What? Failed again?"
Hearing the voice behind them, the three half-elf female doctors in the basement came back to their senses and hurriedly saluted Colin.
Colin waved his hand casually, indicating that they don't need to be polite, and then walked to an "operating table" in the center of the basement, and found that the two apes, one big and one small, had already turned into corpses.
A female doctor said sadly: "Sorry, Lord Earl, we have tried many times, but we still cannot successfully complete the 'caesarean section' you mentioned."
"Because he couldn't control the blood loss?" Colin asked, looking at the blood flowing everywhere.
"Yes, my lord count."
"Then you should now be able to skillfully use this method to remove the fetus from the mother's womb, right?"
The female doctor hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, but... my lord, with this method, the fetus may survive, but the mother... will definitely die!"
Of course, the three female doctors had already guessed why Colin asked them to experiment with this "caesarean section". When they thought that they might use this method to open Her Majesty's stomach, they couldn't help but tremble.
If anything happens to Her Majesty the Queen or the child in her womb, they will certainly be blamed.
Therefore, the three doctors only hope that Ke Lin can recognize the reality and give up this completely unfeasible method.
"I see." Colin nodded, "Go and rest, this experiment is over."
The three female doctors looked at each other, and wanted to ask Ke Lin if he had completely given up on this so-called "caesarean section". He bowed anxiously and left.
Ke Lin looked at the mess on the "operating table", and there was no disturbance in his heart.
The failure of the female doctors did not surprise him.
With the backward level of surgery in this world, it would be a miracle if the caesarean section can be successfully performed.
However, Ke Lin still asked these female doctors to experiment a few times on monkeys, not in the hope that they would succeed, but in order to let them familiarize themselves with the position of the fetus in the mother's womb and how to remove the fetus with an operation.
In this way, if Aisha really has a dystocia situation, there can also be a contingency plan.
As for the failure of these experiments, Colin didn't care.
After all, blood loss, infection, and other factors that would cause the failure of a caesarean section are not a problem for the blood race.
Of course, this caesarean section is just in case, and Colin must hope that this measure will not come in handy.
Leaving the basement, Colin walked towards the queen's bedroom, ready to talk to Aisha, but when he arrived at the door of the bedroom, he found Duke Miller waiting outside.
"Lord Earl, are you here to visit His Majesty?" Duke Miller greeted with a flattering smile.
This Duke Miller is Aisha's elder brother. After the death of the previous Duke Miller, he inherited the title of the Miller family.
"Yes." Colin nodded, wondering, "Why don't you go in?"
Duke Miller rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "Mother is talking to His Majesty inside... in a whisper."
Colin understood immediately.
It turned out that Duke Miller's mother, that is, Queen Aisha's mother, Mrs. Sharon, was inside. It is estimated that the mother and daughter were talking about precautions for giving birth. No wonder Duke Miller wanted to hide outside.
Colin touched his nose and knew that it was not good for him to go in at this time, so he stood beside Duke Miller, thinking about what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Fortunately, Duke Miller spoke first: "Master Earl, I heard that there is some unrest in Silvermoon City recently!"
Colin glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Why is it not peaceful?"
Seeing that Colin asked the question knowingly, Duke Miller was a little anxious, and no longer concealed it, he said directly:
"Lord Earl, I don't believe you haven't heard some rumors. Now many nobles in Silvermoon City are secretly colluding with each other, preparing to take advantage of the weak period of His Majesty's labor to make trouble!"
"Oh?" Colin immediately asked with a shocked expression, "You should report such an important matter to His Majesty!"
"I told His Majesty! But, His Majesty didn't know what to think, but he just didn't listen!" Duke Miller said sadly, "My lord, I know His Majesty has always respected you very much, so you should also be good Advise Your Majesty!"
Colin rubbed his chin, seemed to be moved, and asked, "Then, Duke Miller, according to what you said, what countermeasures should His Majesty take?"
"First of all, the Silver Moon Guard must be stabilized!" Duke Miller blurted out, "His Majesty should not hand over the command of the Silver Moon Guard to Duke Merdewing at this critical moment!"
"Do you think the Duke of Merdewing will rebel?"
"It is indeed possible. After all, the Mordiveh family was once a half-elf royal family. William Murdevyn was not able to inherit the throne, so it is inevitable that he will feel resentful towards Her Majesty the Queen in his heart."
Colin nodded thoughtfully, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Duke Miller continued to encourage: "Besides, Your Majesty actually let Duke Merdewing take charge of the kingdom's government affairs. This... the military and political power is concentrated on one person, so isn't Duke Merdevan the actual half-elven king?" Yet!
You know, the key to power is balance...”
Listening to Duke Miller rambling on about how to check and balance power, Colin secretly rolled his eyes.
Of course he knew what Elsa's brother was planning, he was just jealous of Duke Merdewing.
However, to be honest, Colin can also understand Duke Miller. After all, as the queen's own brother, he is not favored by an outsider, so he must feel a little unbalanced.
But this also shows that Duke Miller did not see through Colin and Aisha's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, otherwise, he would never envy Duke Mordiven's current position.
It was simply a fire pit.
Similarly, this also shows that Queen Aisha did not disclose her plan to Duke Miller.
Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly—it seems that Aisha doesn't trust her own brother very much.
Duke Miller was still flaunting his political opinions tirelessly, and Colin was about to change the subject in annoyance, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him.
Turning his head, Colin saw Queen Aisha's mother, Mrs. Sharon, running out in panic.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Duke Miller asked quickly.
Mrs. Sharon shouted half anxiously, half excitedly:
"Your Majesty is about to give birth!"
