"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 me to give the order to have Miss Qiang's body cut open and have her core transplanted into someone 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 betterment of this dimension 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 shame; they in fact knew that what they were trying to say was indeed a bit shameless and embarrassing, not to mention really cruel. Mo Qiang had after all done a lot of this dimension, 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 moments 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 time by dabbling in useless emotions, we are also wasting the time 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 same powers as her? Then why not try to do our best for the growth and development of this dimension?"
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 betterment 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, someone 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 mer stood where he was.
He raised his head proudly before saying, "You really know how to say such shameless words way too beautifully. Do you think that no one here knows that your daughter is unconscious and in need of a core?"
A good thing too, or else these shameless women 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 someone 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 meeting that you have called. Do you want me 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."
