"Evil girl! Human life is at stake. How can you mess around like that?"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Hua angrily shouted, "How can you save people if you have never learned any medical skills? If you still have any conscience, kneel down and apologize to Madam Rong!"
"Father, how do you know that I have never learned medicine?"
The disheveled Hua Yuanzhao looked at Prime Minister Hua sarcastically. Not to mention her, even her original self had studied medicine since childhood. When others were reciting the Three Character Classic at the age of five, she could already recite the "Tangtou Gejue" by heart under her mother's "coercion and inducement".
Prime Minister Hua, as a father, doesn't know all this.
"I have been learning medicine since I was young. I memorized the Treatise on Colds and Fevers at the age of five, knew the Suwen at the age of six, and could use the Nine Needles when I was seven." Hua Yuanzhao asked sternly, "Father, I'm afraid you don't even know what the Nine Needles and Twelve Origins are?"
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly raised her head and looked at Hua Yuanzhao with a look of surprise and suspicion in her eyes.
——Can you use nine needles at the age of seven?
"You favor Su, and only care about what kind of music your sister plays and what kind of flowers she embroiders. How can you ever pay attention to me!" Hua Yuanzhao stared at Prime Minister Hua stubbornly, and asked him with red eyes: "If we continue to delay like this, if something happens to the princess, can your father bear the blame?"
It has long been known that there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Hua Yuanshan's concubine, Su, has been in charge of household affairs and social interactions for many years, and her status is no less respectable than that of the main wife.
Ever since his wife married the Duke of Zhenguo, the two of them have lived in harmony with each other. There is no concubine, let alone a maid, in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Naturally, she couldn't stand a man having three wives and four concubines, and she hated the prime minister's behavior of favoring his wife and ignoring his concubines even more.
Learning medicine is not something that can be accomplished in a day. It is ridiculous that Prime Minister Hua, as a father, does not even know what his daughter has learned since childhood.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was about to speak, but Hua Yuanshan took the lead and sobbed, "Sister, even if you are jealous of Daddy's love for me, you shouldn't force yourself to be the leader! Do you hate the princess so much that you have to desecrate her body?"
Hua Yuanzhao had no time to argue with her. He just looked at the lady of Zhenguo Mansion and said earnestly: "Human life is at stake. Do you have any other choice besides me?"
"If anything happens to the princess, I will leave it to you to deal with!" Hua Yuanzhao added through gritting his teeth.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was already disheartened. Upon hearing the voice, she looked at the disheveled Hua Yuanzhao and was stunned by the calmness in her eyes.
She really had no other choice but to stand up and make way, signaling the servants who were escorting Hua Yuanzhao to let her go.
"Come here, if anything happens to An'er, I will make you pay with your life!"
Hua Yuanzhao did not move his eyebrows. He just walked to the princess' side, knelt down, lifted up the back of her neck and straightened her.
After pulling the person out of the water just now, she immediately cleaned the mud from Princess Lin'an's mouth and nose. She also saw the accumulated water flowing back with her own eyes. There was no reason for the person to die so quickly!
In full view of everyone, she pressed hard on Princess Lin'an's chest with both hands, and then leaned over to help the princess breathe.
"You! How dare you blaspheme the princess!" Hua Yuanshan shouted in panic, like eight hundred ducks howling.
The imperial physician understood Hua Yuanzhao's approach, but he had just confirmed that the princess had no pulse, so he did not dare to propose such a shocking method.
"The first aid method created by Mr. Zhang is certainly useful, but the princess has no breath or pulse. How can she be saved?" The imperial physician couldn't bear to watch her. He felt that she was overestimating her own abilities and was still fighting in vain.
"The dead are the greatest. Why do you have to damage the princess's reputation in this way?" the imperial physician sighed.
Hua Yuanshan's heart skipped a beat, and excitement flashed across her eyes. She clutched her handkerchief to suppress her happiness, and said to Hua Yuanzhao, "Daddy taught us to be brave and responsible since we were young. Why are you stalling here, elder sister?"
Hua Yuanzhao had no time to pay attention to Hua Yuanshan who was jumping up and down. He did not stop moving, with only tenacity and concentration in his eyes.
The night wind was bitingly cold, and Hua Yuanzhao could even feel the vitality of his men leaving along with their body temperature.
