Ling Yun was seriously injured, lost too much blood, and was dying.
Mr. Liu Liu, who was treating his injuries, said that he needed to find a person whose blood matched his, extract a portion of his blood quantitatively, and then inject it into Ling Yun's body, so that Ling Yun could be rescued.
A fire of hope lit up in Lu Wenzheng's eyes, and he said firmly: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will never give up! Mr. Liu, I don't know how to verify this blood match?"
Mr. Liu Liu asked his apprentice to get a silver basin, fill it with water, put in a little colorless medicine foam, and let it dissolve. Then he entered the inner room with a silver basin, pricked Ling Yun's index finger with a silver needle, and a drop of blood dripped into the water.
The strange thing is that this drop of blood does not dissolve and swims around in the water like a drop of mercury.
The reason why the blood droplets did not dissolve was probably because Mr. Liu put the colorless medicinal foam into the water just now, everyone thought.
Liu Liu placed the silver basin in front of everyone, glanced at the people around him with piercing eyes, and said solemnly: "Whose drop of blood can blend with the drop of blood of Commander Ling, whoever has blood with Commander Ling will be the same." The right person!"
Everyone looked at each other. Huan Yu said without hesitation: "I'll come first!"
Mr. Liu Liu said: "How is this possible? The princess is worth a thousand pieces of gold——"
Huan Yu's wet eyes blinked, and he said angrily: "It's been so long and you're still verbose, hurry up!"
When Mr. Liu Liu saw Princess Huanyu's distressed look, he couldn't help but cursed: "You were the one who almost killed Ling Yun back then, and now you are the one who is crying and insisting on saving his life; I don't know. Does this arrogant and willful princess love or hate the princess? Alas! The affairs of these young people are really confusing!..."
Although his thoughts were racing, his face remained calm. After all, this was a private matter between the young couple. How could he, an outsider, comment on it?
The most important thing for him now is to do his best to treat the seriously injured county horse in front of him.
Mr. Liu Liu said no more. He quickly took a blood sample from Princess Huanyu, and then carefully poured the drop of blood into the water.
He slowly stirred the silver pestle, and the two drops of blood drifted leisurely in the water. Finally, they came together, cuddled for a while and then slowly separated.
Mr. Liu Liu shook his head in frustration and sighed.
Huan Yu's face was immediately covered with a layer of gloom, and she lowered her head like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Lu Wenzheng frowned slightly, stepped forward and said, "Sir, come and try mine again!"
Mr. Liu Liu pricked Lu Wenzheng's middle finger with a silver needle, and another drop of bright red liquid fell into the silver basin.
Liu Liu continued to stir the silver pestle gently, and the water swayed leisurely. When the two drops of blood came together, they separated immediately like two strangers...
Next, Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen and others all tried one by one, but the blood did not match. Everyone looked gloomy, shook their heads and sighed, feeling a little discouraged.
Lu Wenzheng ordered Yang Zhen to pass down the order. Anyone in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment and the Commandery Ma Mansion who matches the blood of Commander Ling and can save his life will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. After hearing the explosive news, the people in the two mansions immediately became restless.
Everyone rushed to sign up, and the courtyard of the Junma Mansion was like a market, with a huge flow of people and a bustling crowd.
There are even more fools who pretend to be servants of the Ministry of Punishment or the Junma Mansion to take the exam, hoping that they will be one of the lucky ones, and God will take pity on them, so that they can match the blood of Commander Ling and be able to receive the exam. Get the coveted ten thousand taels of silver and become rich overnight.
Yang Zhen and Xu Zhi were ordered to lead the guards to maintain order outside.
Mr. Liu Liu asked his disciples to divide into several groups, each collected blood samples, and conducted experiments separately.
As a result, all the candidates came here with excitement and returned disappointed. A day passed, and no one came back.
Princess Huanyu waited anxiously, seeing one failure after another. The hope that had risen in her heart was like a blazing firework, dimming little by little, and finally extinguished into a ball of dark ashes...
When everyone was at a loss what to do, suddenly the eunuch Feng Lin in the palace was led by Mr. Lu's bookboy Rong'er and hurried to the Junma Mansion.
It turned out that the emperor had urgent matters and summoned Mr. Lu to the palace to meet the emperor. Just now, Feng Lin went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice and saw that Mr. Lu was not there, so he was led to the Junma Mansion by the book boy Rong'er.
Lu Wenzheng heard that the emperor had something to announce to him, so how could he dare to delay it at all? He had no choice but to take Xu Zhi and follow Feng Lin.
In the living room of Junma Mansion, there are only a few people including Huan Yu, He Yuting, Mr. Liu Liu and others.
Seeing that Huan Yu was heartbroken, He Yuting had no choice but to persuade him politely.
Huanyu's eyes were red and swollen, she pursed her thin lips tightly, and sobbed: "It's all me who hurt him!... If he really has something wrong with him, what should I do?..."
He Yuting couldn't help but feel sad, but he still forced himself to be Yan Huan and comforted her softly: "Huanyu, you are talking nonsense again. Who said Zhichao can't be saved? Zhichao has his own destiny. I believe he will be fine! Besides, it’s still early, maybe there will be a surprise coming soon!”
At this time, Mr. Liu Liu's shrewd eyes turned, and he suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly reached out and took out something from his arms, carefully handed it to Princess Huanyu and said: "By the way, Princess, this amulet is carried by Commander Ling." , I was so busy just now that I almost forgot, now the old jade is returned to Zhao intact, and the original thing is returned."
A trace of surprise flashed in Huanyu's eyes; she reached out to take it and took a look, and couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, why have I never seen this thing before?"
He Yuting couldn't help but feel a tremble in his heart when he saw it!
At a glance, he felt that the object looked very familiar, and he hurriedly took it from Huan Yu's hand and looked at it carefully.
I saw that this amulet was made of platinum and was radiant. On the front was a statue of Guanyin meditating and folding hands. On the back were the four characters "long life and wealth" in the middle, and around it were a line of birthday characters: "August 22, the eighth year of Qingli day".
He Yuting felt his head was buzzing and was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this the amulet his son He Chenglin wore when he was a child? This amulet has been lost for more than twenty years, why is it here?
I remember Mr. Liu Liu said just now that this amulet was worn by Ling Yun... So, could it be that Ling Yun was the child who was taken away by wet nurse Gemini more than 20 years ago? In other words, Ling Yun is his... biological son?
At that moment, he only felt that his mind was blank, as if he had been struck by thunder and lightning, half in a daze, and his whole body was a little numb.
He swallowed several times in succession, as if his throat was itchy and dry, and murmured: "Impossible, impossible..."
Seeing He Yuting's strange expression, Huanyu couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
He Yuting came back to his senses, coughed covertly, and said with a forced smile on his face: "Oh, it's okay... By the way, Mr. Liu, my blood test has not been done yet, can you go and have a try?"
Mr. Liu Liu hesitated slightly and said: "Master He is an important minister of the country and has a body of a lot of money. If anything happens, I will be unable to bear the blame. I think this trip can be avoided!"
He Yuting's eyes narrowed, and a vague emotion flashed across his face; he said decisively: "The princess and Mr. Lu have tried it, and they are not afraid of anything happening. Why is my life so precious?" ? No need to say more, take me there quickly!"
Alas, these high-ranking officials and dignitaries have such bad tempers! Mr. Liu Liu had no choice but to obey.
He took a drop of He Yuting's blood, dropped it into a silver basin, and slowly stirred it with a silver pestle. The two drops of blood drifted around and finally came together...
He Yuting felt his heart throbbing violently. He was surprised to find that the two drops of blood slowly merged together and turned into a ball!
Huanyu was ecstatic, with tears filling her eyes with excitement, and shouted repeatedly: "The sky opens its eyes, Zhichao is saved! Zhichao is saved!...
"Uncle, didn't you just say that there would be a surprise coming soon? What you said was so accurate! Look, this unexpected surprise has actually come true for you!"
surprise? ...Is this a surprise? He Yuting couldn't help but smile bitterly. For him, perhaps the word "frightened" would be more appropriate to describe his anxious and uneasy mood at this time.
At this time, his face was pale and his eyes were straight, as if he was stupid. He just whispered, "No, no..."
Seeing He Yuting's abnormal expression, Mr. Liu Liu couldn't help but wonder: "Master Hou, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell and it's inconvenient for you to give Commander Ling a blood transfusion? How about we change another day?..."
He Yuting's heart surged and he said in a loud voice: "No, I want to save him, I must save him!..."
Mr. Liu Liu used a sterilized "scalpel" to cut the blood vessels on He Yuting's arm, and let the blood pour into a silver bottle little by little.
When the blood volume was sufficient, he asked everyone to wait outside, and he and several young apprentices re-entered the inner room.
He cut Ling Yun's palm with a sterilized "scalpel" and ordered someone to hold Ling Yun's body tightly. With the cooperation of all the disciples, he used his internal force to push the warm blood in through the palm of his hand bit by bit. into the blood vessels in Ling Yun's body...
He Yuting waited anxiously outside.
Finally, he couldn't stand the unbearable pain and broke into the inner room.
At this time, he suddenly saw the dark red Qilin birthmark on Ling Yun's exposed left arm...
He only felt waves of dizziness before his eyes, and could hardly support his body. He said to himself: "Lin'er, you are really my Lin'er..."
Huan Yu, who came later, saw this and hurriedly supported his shaky body, saying worriedly: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell after losing too much blood? How about I send someone to take you back immediately? Let’s go to the house!”
A thin layer of mist appeared in He Yuting's moist eyes. He shook his head decisively and said: "No, I'm fine. Let me stay with him here for a while - I must wait for him to wake up..."
