Feng Yuheng's words successfully attracted Tianwu's attention and also successfully made Minister Liu break out in a cold sweat. He originally thought that Feng Yuheng would never go to Emperor Tianwu to say anything about what happened in the courtyard, not to mention the current situation and atmosphere in the room, it was not the right time to talk about that! Besides, who has ever heard of the two of them quarreling a few words and then turning around to complain to the emperor?
But Feng Yuheng just wanted to do this!
She didn't care about the atmosphere. She only knew that the Liu family was under the Eighth Prince's wing. They brought her into the palace to treat their sister. There must be something fishy about this matter. It was true that Concubine Liu was seriously ill. She had just diagnosed that there was something wrong with her kidneys, but that didn't mean that the matter could be covered up. I came to the palace to treat your sister with good intentions, but you Liu family were not grateful. Why did you scold me as soon as I entered the palace?
She raised her eyebrow and looked coldly at Minister Liu, and added with great grievance: "Your Highness is the prince of Dashun, the biological son of the emperor, how can he live in an unjustified way? What did Minister Liu mean by that just now? Ah Heng still can't figure it out, and he is very frightened."
Tianwu was originally on Feng Yuheng's side, and when he heard that the matter involved his most caring son, he immediately turned hostile. He stared at Minister Liu, but did not ask him a question. Instead, he said to Zhang Yuan, "Tell me! What happened just now? How did my son become unjustified?"
Zhang Yuan didn't have a good impression of Liu Shilang. He was on Feng Yuheng's side, so he immediately repeated what Liu Shilang had said to Feng Yuheng when he first entered the courtyard. Tianwu's face turned pale when he heard it, especially the last sentence, which touched his reverse scale. "My son and daughter-in-law are not living in a proper way? Liu Huai, you really have good intentions!"
Liu Huai quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and immediately defended himself: "Your Majesty, this is all a misunderstanding! I spoke out of turn, but I was angered by what His Majesty said first! You don't know, His Majesty said..."
Before he could finish his words, Tianwu got angry again: "You are a third-rank official of the dynasty, and my son is the emperor! He is a prince! What, you can't say a few words to you? Now that I call you a beast, do you have to turn the curse back? Come and scold me again?"
Liu Huai was so scared that he was shaking on the ground, and he cursed Feng Yuheng thousands of times in his heart. But Tianwu was angry, so he didn't dare to say anything. After all, what he said was right. If the prince scolded you, what right did you have to scold him back? Are you rebelling?
Feng Yuheng was still aggrieved: "Minister Liu naturally doesn't dare to quarrel with His Highness the Ninth Prince, but he can bully a little woman like his daughter-in-law without restraint."
"He dares!" Tianwu was furious. He stood up and pointed at the seriously ill and unconscious Concubine Liu on the couch, and shouted, "This is your sister, your dear sister! Ah Heng came to the palace to treat your sister, but you didn't say thank you, and you used such vicious words to scold her. How heartless are you, Liu family? In my opinion, you don't have much intention to treat Concubine Liu, and you urged me to call Ah Heng in. It's probably for this scolding, right? Don't think I don't know. Your father had a lot of complaints with Concubine Yun back then, and repeatedly forced me to drive Concubine Yun out of the palace. Today I will repeat to you what I said to your father back then. Listen to me. Which concubine to favor and which concubine to demote is my family affair. It is not your turn to threaten me in the previous dynasty! I am the king of Dashun. If even my family affairs are controlled by my ministers, then you can sit on the throne of the world!"
The Xuan family has always been unreasonable. Emperor Tianwu is unreasonable, and his sons are even more unreasonable. Emperor Tianwu really said this to Minister Liu in the court, and Minister Liu was almost scared to death. Today, the same words were said to Liu Huai, and Liu Huai's cold sweat oozed out at that time. Not only was he afraid, but he was also very annoyed by his previous impulsiveness. It was not easy to get Feng Yuheng into the palace to treat Concubine Liu, why is he so impatient? If the Eighth Prince knew that this matter was ruined in his hands, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to explain it in front of the Eighth Prince!
Liu Huai gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Feng Yuheng, saying, "Please forgive me, Princess Yu. I spoke out of turn earlier because I was anxious about Concubine Liu's illness, so I said something I shouldn't have said. I am willing to kowtow to you and apologize. Please don't blame me anymore." As he spoke, he kowtowed twice more.
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything, but Emperor Tianwu was still angry. He said to Feng Yuheng, "Ah Heng, please leave the palace first! It's my father's fault for calling you into the palace. Everyone in the Liu family is an ungrateful person, none of them has a conscience. This kind of family is not worthy of my pity. Since the Imperial Hospital can't cure Concubine Liu's illness, it means that her illness should be fatal, and no one can blame anyone else. Go! You have nothing to do here."
When Liu Huai heard that Emperor Tianwu wanted Feng Yuheng to leave the palace, he was anxious. He was so anxious that he actually squeezed out a few tears. He knelt and crawled forward a few steps, crawled on the ground, and kept sobbing, saying pitifully: "Your Majesty, please have mercy! Please, Your Majesty, please have mercy! Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of Concubine Liu's many years of companionship, you must not watch her die like this! Princess Yu is a genius doctor, she will definitely be able to save Concubine Liu's life, please Your Majesty, please don't abandon Concubine Liu!"
Feng Yuheng looked at him like this and suddenly asked, "Which imperial physician told Minister Liu that my princess can cure this disease? Even if he is a genius doctor, he is not a god after all. Why are you so sure that my princess can cure it?"
Liu Huai was stunned for a moment, then continued in a crying voice: "I also heard that when the court was dismissed. As for which imperial physician said it, I can't remember. At that time, I was only thinking about the queen's illness, and my mind was in a mess. But Princess Yu is a skilled doctor, and this is known to the world. Princess, please be magnanimous and don't bother with me. I beg you to save Queen Liu!" Liu Huai was desperate and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, making a loud bang. There was no trace of the tit-for-tat look he had in the yard before.
Feng Yuheng thought of the Eighth Prince when she looked at him. He was indeed a member of a party, and he was indeed someone who was willing to help the Eighth Prince succeed. He could bring up things when he said he would, and put them down when he said he would. He could control his temper easily. She smiled and said to Tianwu, "Father, please don't get angry. Your own health is more important. Minister Liu is right. Even if you don't care about the Liu family, at least think about Concubine Liu! My daughter-in-law is a doctor, and it's not easy to see her like this. Let my daughter-in-law take a look at Concubine Liu first. As for Minister Liu..."
"Humph!" Tianwu waved his hand and said, "Get out! You have no mercy on your sister. From now on, don't come to visit me anymore. Get out!"
Tianwu was furious, and Liu Huai left without saying anything, fearing that if he left too slowly, he would have to leave his head behind. As he left, Tianwu's anger dissipated a little, and he glanced at the bed again, sighed, and then said: "Ah Heng, just take a look at her! After all, she has been with me. I haven't thought about coming to see her for so many years, but I didn't expect to see her again today, but she has ended up like this." He sighed several times, his face full of vicissitudes.
Feng Yuheng understood the mentality of the elderly. She also wanted to treat Concubine Liu's illness and see what tricks the Liu family and Old Eight would come up with. So she said nothing more, turned back and sat back on the bed, and took Concubine Liu's wrist pulse again. After a while, she had basically determined her illness.
"It's kidney failure." She said to Emperor Tianwu: "Father, Concubine Liu has kidney disease. She has lost kidney function and is in kidney failure. It's already in the advanced stage. Although the pathological results obtained by the adults in the Imperial Hospital are different, the results are similar. There is no hope for them in this case."
Tianwu looked at Feng Yuheng and easily understood her implication: "You mean, for them, there is no hope, but for you, it can still be saved, right?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head and said, "It's not absolutely curable. I can only say that my daughter-in-law is not helpless. There is a way that can be tried, but it is extremely difficult to treat, and there is no guarantee of absolute success."
"It's better to be cured than to wait for death." Tianwu sighed, "Ah Heng, you don't know, although I haven't cared about these concubines for so many years, the affection I once had is still there. Once they enter the palace, they will never be able to leave again. Some of them have sons, and I can be more relieved, but for those women who have no children but have to die in the palace, I always try to find ways to compensate them, so I made their family members officials. I also understand that there are disadvantages to doing this, but there is no way. I really can't show favor to anyone after meeting Pianpian. I will feel disgusted."
The old emperor did not ask what method Feng Yuheng was talking about. He just slumped in the chair and stretched out his hand to wipe his face. With just one stroke, it seemed as if he had stroked through decades of time. Even Feng Yuheng could not help but feel sad when he saw it.
Zhang Yuan was afraid that his depressed mood would affect his health, so he quickly advised: "Your Majesty has done the utmost. In which dynasty did the women in the harem not go through the same thing? Who can guarantee that the emperor's favor will always be there? Could it be that all the concubines who fell out of favor will die? If that's the case, Your Majesty has treated the concubines well. At least you have left a good way out for their families. If you had let them compete for your favor like you did twenty years ago, who knows, some of them would have fought to death over the years." But those family members of the concubines who were left a way out were ungrateful.
Zhang Yuan's words made sense, and Emperor Tianwu also understood, but there was always a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over. After all, he was not a ruthless person. If he was really ruthless, the Imperial Hospital would not allow Feng Yuheng to come in to see the patient even if the patient was declared critically ill. He glanced at Feng Yuheng and finally asked, "What is the method you said can be cured?"
Feng Yuheng said calmly: "Change the kidney."
"What?" Tianwu was stunned. "Replace a kidney?" After saying that, he subconsciously touched his lower back. After all, he was a martial artist in his youth and had a certain understanding of the structure of human organs. He could find the location of the kidney very accurately. After finding it, he asked with lingering fear: "Can this thing also be replaced?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "It's OK for my daughter-in-law to perform the operation herself. But kidney transplantation has great risks and prerequisites. First of all, we must find the most suitable kidney source, which must match the patient's kidney. This can maximize the guarantee that the kidney will not be rejected by the patient after the transplant, so that it can function normally. Secondly, even if the kidney source is suitable before the operation, it cannot be completely guaranteed that it will be a successful match after the transplant. There is still a certain chance of rejection. The result is that the operation fails and the patient is still hopeless."
Emperor Tianwu was confused. Kidney transplant! His daughter-in-law was really willing to do anything. "But what about the suitable kidney source..."
Feng Yuheng smiled strangely: "Of course it is easier to find someone who is related to Concubine Liu by blood..."
