The reason why he said this was because the girl lying on the sickbed was so beautiful.
Even if she was just lying there quietly with her eyes closed, Lu Chen felt that she was incredibly beautiful.
After looking for a while, Lu Chen turned around and looked at Wei Yong in front of him, then he couldn't help shaking his head.
Wei Yong's appearance was not bad, at least he looked quite decent. It is said that when the Great Qi Dynasty recruited officials, they also had certain requirements for their appearance. Those who were too ugly could not be appointed as officials at all, just as those who were too ugly could not participate in the palace examination.
The emperor personally supervises the palace examination. What if you are too ugly and scare the emperor?
For someone like Wei Yong who could become one of the Nine Ministers, there would naturally be no problem with his appearance. Even the emperor would be willing to find someone he likes to be an important minister. Otherwise, he would have to face an ugly face all day long, which would be annoying just thinking about it.
But if you say how handsome Wei Yong is, you are lying with open eyes.
Lu Chen found it really hard to believe that Wei Yong in front of him could actually give birth to such a beautiful daughter. How strong must the girl's mother's genes be, or was it that Lord Wei actually had a green head?
Wei Yong felt his whole body crawl under Lu Chen's gaze, and said angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and save them!"
Lu Chen spread his hands and said, "What are you saying? I don't even have any tools, how can I save someone? I'm not saying anything to you, Old Wei, but you're hiding things from me, a doctor. If you had explained the situation clearly in the carriage, my people would have sent the supplies over long ago. Now you have to wait even longer. I can wait, but I'm afraid your daughter can't."
Lu Chen said this in front of everyone. When Wei Yong's old wife heard this, she looked at Wei Yong with a look of deep resentment.
Wei Yong was so angry that his nostrils seemed to be spitting fire. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll send a fast horse to urge them right away. If you need anything else, you'd better tell me everything."
"Your daughter is suffering from a lack of blood, so the most effective and direct way is to transfuse other people's blood into her body. That's why I need a lot of people!"
What!?
Upon hearing this, both Wei Yong and the people around him felt their scalps tingling.
Did it really appear? Is Master Lu going to use his heaven-defying methods again?
Doctor Cai, who was standing by, was horrified. He guessed that Lu Chen had a way to cure the patient, but he never expected that Lu Chen's methods would be so extreme!
Wei Yong, standing by, swung his sleeves and said, "Impossible! I won't agree! If you use such a sinister and evil technique to save my daughter, and forcibly add the patient's lifespan to hers, I'd rather she die innocently!"
What? Adding someone else's lifespan to your daughter's? Haha, you're just wishful thinking. Does the King of Hell know about this?
Lu Chen felt that when it came to feudal superstition, old man Wei Yong was still more advanced. His imagination was so rich. How did he come up with that?
"Sir Wei, things are not what you think, and I will not harm anyone's life." Lu Chen tried his best to explain, but Wei Yong would not listen. He snorted coldly, gave Lu Chen an arrogant look and said, "There is no point in saying more. I will never agree to this. Forget it!"
When Wei Yong's wife heard this, she cried out in grief, "Master, you can't ignore your own children!"
"As the Imperial Censor, I uphold the moral bottom line of the Great Qi court. If even I were to do something so heinous, the entire Great Qi court would sooner or later be morally corrupt. Wei Yong is not talented enough to claim to be a master of the world, but I do know what I can and cannot do."
"So you don't care about our child's life or death?"
"I still say the same thing. If this is the only way to save her, I would rather she die with a clear conscience. It's her father who is incompetent and can't protect her. When I go to the underworld in the future, I will personally apologize to her!" Wei Yong's lips trembled, but his voice was very determined.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yong's old wife smiled sadly and said, "Okay, okay, you want to be an honest official, you want to be a good official, you want to leave your name in history, then you don't have to care about our lives. In that case, why not just kill me too, and let me accompany our daughter to go, so that she won't be alone on the road to the underworld!"
As he spoke, Wei Yong's old wife stepped forward and tore Wei Yong's clothes like crazy, and the whole scene suddenly became chaotic.
Lu Chen looked at all this with some embarrassment. You said you were a good courtesan, but instead of sleeping, you came over to watch such a family ethics drama?
"My mother-in-law is really ruthless. She hits me in the face. Should I go up and stop her?"
"Stop hitting me, ma'am, stop hitting me. Don't hit me on the body. No one can see the wounds on the body!"
There was chaos in Wei Yong's house, while in the imperial palace, Li Zhuo was reviewing memorials out of boredom.
After finally finishing the day's workload, he stretched and asked the eunuch beside him, "Have the imperial doctors returned? How is Wei Yong's daughter?"
"Your Majesty, I just received news that the imperial doctors have managed to stop the bleeding of the girl, but due to the excessive blood loss, they don't have a better solution at the moment, so Lord Wei has gone to invite Master Lu."
"Haha, this is quite rare. Wei Yong is willing to sacrifice his old face. It's rare! What a pity. Excessive blood loss is very troublesome. I'm afraid Master Lu doesn't have a good solution."
"Yes, Master Lu also said that it is impossible to save that girl with conventional methods."
"You see, I told you that I also understand some medical knowledge. So what does Master Lu plan to do?" As he spoke, Li Zhuo picked up the teacup and gently took a sip of this year's new tea.
"So Master Lu decided to use his secret method to take the girl's blood in exchange for her life!"
"puff!"
All the tea in Li Zhuo's mouth sprayed onto the face of the young eunuch in front of him. He coughed violently as if he was going to knock out his lungs.
The palace maids and eunuchs around were so frightened that they rushed forward to help, beating their chests and patting their backs. It took them a long time to help Li Zhuo recover.
After recovering, Li Zhuo grabbed the eunuch who had just spoken and said, "What did you say? Tell me again, what is Master Lu going to do!?"
The young eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I heard from the people below that Master Lu is planning to inject someone else's blood into the girl's body in order to revive her."
"Did it succeed?" Li Zhuo's eyes lit up and he became excited.
"No, Lord Wei said that this method is inhumane. He would not use it even if it meant his daughter's death!"
"Wei Yong is such a fool... ahem, Lord Wei is truly a pillar of our dynasty. I feel so relieved that the Censorate is under his control."
After saying that, Li Zhuo stood up and walked around the hall anxiously.
He quickly gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and find me twenty female prisoners. The others, get ready and go to the Wei Mansion!"
