"Core Transplant?"
Fu Zhao raised her eyebrows until they nearly flew off her forehead before saying with a chuckle, "I hope you are not asking to give the order to have Miss Qiang's body cut open and have her core transplanted into soone else despite the risks."
"Because not only will it be embarrassing, but also cruel. Miss Qiang had put her life on the line again and again for the safety and betternt of this dinsion and star. I am not as ungrateful as to even think of such a thing, and I hope that my ministers are not any less grateful than I am?"
Her words caused the ministers to flush red in sha; they in fact knew that what they were trying to say was indeed a bit shaless and embarrassing, not to ntion really cruel. Mo Qiang had after all done a lot of this dinsion, but in the face of their own benefits and interests, they could not resist the temptation.
They all raised their heads and looked at Wei Yunrou, who was silently standing in front of Fu Zhao and heard her say,
"I do understand and accept that what her majesty is saying is indeed correct, but at such monts and occasions, we should use our heads instead of our hearts. Miss Qiang has fallen into a weird coma, and not even the doctors can tell when she is going to wake up."
"By wasting our ti by dabbling in useless emotions, we are also wasting the ti to save her core. We might as well take her core out when she is still alive; what if she dies and the core turns to waste? We don't even know when we will get another person with the sa powers as her? Then why not try to do our best for the growth and developnt of this dinsion?"
Wei Yunrou put it really nicely.
She spoke as if she were also upset and heartbroken for the decision that she had made, but for the betternt of the Imperial Star, she was willing to take the risks and put her emotions on hold.
Compared to her, Fu Zhao looked a bit lacking.
"Shut up!"
But before Fu Zhao could say anything, soone exploded.
"Qi Hong," Fu Shuyan was stunned when she heard her brother yell. But as soon as she snapped out of her daze, she tried to pull Fu Qi Hong down, but the r stood where he was.
He raised his head proudly before saying, "You really know how to say such shaless words way too beautifully. Do you think that no one here knows that your daughter is unconscious and in need of a core?"
Fu Qi Hong curled his lips in disdain and stated, "Your daughter fell sick three months ago, and you are yet to give up on her. I have heard how you are willing to do anything to save her life."
"Your daughter is still not a waste when she has been unconscious for more than three months but Miss Qiang's core needs to be removed within three hours? Why? What wrong has she committed? Or what sin have her parents committed?"
"Just because she awakened a power different from others, she is supposed to be treated however you want? Does her parents have no say in this?" Fu Qi Hong snarled. "Don't forget that Mo Qiang is not your daughter nor the property of this court! She is a human! She has parents and husbands."
"No matter what the situation is, it's not your turn to make decisions regarding her life and death! So stop making stupid claims; it's her core! Who are you to ask for it?"
"Third prince, but the people of dinsion—"
"Quiet!" Fu Qi Hong stood up at his full height and glared at the woman who spoke. "The people of dinsion were alive even when Miss Qiang did not awaken, and so they can stay alive even without her. It's Miss Qiang's kindness that she is willing to share the fruits of her labour and power with others. It's not her obligation!"
"Please be mindful of your words and think before you speak. We, the mbers of the Fu family, are not so shaless that we will cut open the flesh of our benefactor just because we are starving."
Fu Qi Hong finished speaking and then sat down; his fingers were tightly clenched in his lap. Truthfully speaking, he wanted to fly over to the Yu dinsion and see how Mo Qiang was doing, but when he saw that things were going out of control here, he had no choice but to stay back.
A good thing too, or else these shaless won have pressured his mother into cutting Mo Qiang open like a frog or mouse.
Fu Zhao clapped her hands and said, "Rightfully said, Qi Hong. I am proud of you; at least soone in this court understands that one should never repay one's kindness with ingratitude."
She then turned to look at the rest of the ministers and said to them, "I hope that you do realise how embarrassing the things that you have said just now are?"
"Miss Qiang shared the fruits of her hard work and skill with us. That's her kindness; she has no obligations whatsoever to raise or support the nation."
"And whether her core would be donated or not, that's the decision of her parents. I see no point in this eting that you have called. Do you want to force a war hero to a corner and have her hand the core of her daughter even though there is a chance that she will wake up very soon?"
"Even though it has been less than three hours?"
"No mother would agree to such a heartless thing, and I, as a mother, understand this as well." She then turned to look at Wei Yunrou with a sharp gaze before stating, "And I am sure you do it too. So, I will suggest that you put away the little thoughts that you have."
