Seeing that Liu Huai had not spoken for a long time, Concubine Liu could no longer sit still. With her eyes opened wide, she looked at Liu Huai in confusion and asked: "Elder brother, why aren't you saying anything? It's just a kidney. It's already been said that it won't kill anyone. One can still live with one kidney. Why is it that none of you are willing to agree? Could it be that the profoundness of our feelings was a lie? Saying that the Liu family would always stand at this One's side, was that also a lie?"
"We also want to hear what dear official Liu has to say." The Emperor spoke up, "Liu Huai, it was you who kneeled and begged Us to bring A-Heng into the palace to treat Concubine Liu's illness. It was also you yourself who said that regardless of the cost, the Liu family wanted for Concubine Liu to continue living. Why is it that you've now shrunk back after hearing the method?"
"Your Majesty!" Liu Huai kneeled on the ground and opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say. He truly did not know what to say. After pondering for a long time, he finally glared at Feng Yu Heng then loudly said: "Princess Yu, why are you bothering with harming the Liu family?"
"I'm harming your Liu family?" Feng Yu Heng was extremely puzzled, "Originally, I was happily staying in the Yu Palace. It was Assistant Minister Liu who sought to make a scene out of nothing by bringing this princess into the palace. This princess wants to ask if there really was harm, would it be you doing it or me? This princess just does not understand. Since your sibling relationship is so profound, why is it that you're not even willing to part with a single kidney? Assistant Minister Liu, what exactly do you take Her Highness Concubine Liu for?"
"Right! What exactly do you take this One for?" Concubine Liu became furious, as she summoned all of the strength in her body to loudly say: "Your Majesty! This concubine does not want to die! This concubine wants a kidney transplant and wants a kidney from the Liu family!"
"How can such a treatment method exist in this world!" Liu Huai lost his temper, "Princess Yu, do not spout nonsense!"
"How is there not?" The person that spoke was the seventh prince, Xuan Tian Hua. His voice was neither urgent nor lax. It was very even. It did not sound as though he was speaking about something important. Instead, it sounded as though he was talking about some common occurrence. He said: "There are so many imperial physicians present. Just have one of the imperial physicians speak. Does such a treatment method exist in this world?"
With the seventh prince speaking, the imperial physicians present finally had a purpose. The head imperial physician was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, such a treatment method does exist. This official once saw the doctors of Hundred Herb Hall perform this sort of surgery. Aside from this, there were mentions of organ transplants in ancient medical books. Although there was an exceedingly low number of people capable of this, such that there have not been any in the past hundred years, it does not mean that such a treatment method does not exist."
With the head imperial physician having spoken, the other imperial physicians also agreed. This included Sun Qi, who nodded along.
Feng Yu Heng had noticed Sun Qi in the group of imperial physicians, thus she spoke up: "I heard that the one that had recommended this princess for Her Highness Concubine Liu was Imperial Physician Sun Qi. Thinking about it, Imperial Physician Sun should also have known about this method, right?"
Sun Qi felt his heart go "thunk" when Feng Yu Heng asked this question; however, he had no choice but to nod and say: "Indeed, this official once went to Hundred Herb Hall and indeed knew that Princess Yu knew how to perform kidney transplants, thus I suggested you to Lord Assistant Minister Liu."
"Assistant Minister Liu." She looked at Liu Huai, "Do you have anything else you would like to say?"
Liu Huai remained silent. He really did not know what to say. He just knew that he had fallen into Feng Yu Heng's trap. He was thinking about how he should escape.
