The Royalty's Heart

Prince Su's Mansion, a dark dungeon filled with a strong, pungent smell of blood.

Jiang Yun was tied to a board, his limbs bound by ropes.

No matter how he struggled, he couldn't move.

Lying there, Jiang Yun's peripheral vision flickered towards the bottles and jars around him.

These jars contained green liquid, and inside them were fresh red hearts, stomachs, and other organs.

Jiang Yun's heart pounded. He wanted to quickly recover the spiritual energy within him, but it was too late.

A crisp creak echoed from above the dungeon, and footsteps slowly approached.

Tang Wanxin was wearing a red long dress. This dress should have originally been white.

The bloodstains on the clothing had already dried and solidified.

"Jiang Yun."

Tang Wanxin arrived before the board, tore open his shirt, and her slender fingers slid across Jiang Yun's chest.

"When you destroyed the Tang Mansion a few days ago, you never expected to fall into my hands, did you?"

Tang Wanxin's eyes sparkled. Her beautiful face held a hint of sickness as she stuck out her tongue, licked her lips, and said coldly, "I believe your heart will definitely be useful."

Heart?

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, glanced at the situation in the dungeon, and asked, "You captured so many people just to get a heart for Prince Su?"

Tang Wanxin said coldly, "How did you know?"

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, his mind racing. "I've read your Records of Animal Husbandry. It details many of your experiments."

Tang Wanxin reached out, took a sharp little knife, and placed it on Jiang Yun's chest, slowly saying, "Is that so? Then you should also understand what your fate will be."

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "It's nothing more than digging out my heart and giving it to Prince Su."

"That's right. It seems you're very clear about your fate."

Tang Wanxin was already eager to start.

She wanted to cut open Jiang Yun's chest and properly admire his heart.

Jiang Yun closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "If you do this, Prince Su still won't survive, and you will still fail."

"I'm guessing, if you can't successfully keep Prince Su alive, you'll die too, right?"

Tang Wanxin snorted upon hearing this. "You underestimate me. Ever since I embarked on the path of the Method of Animal Husbandry, I've no longer feared death."

"The world calls animal husbandry an evil practice, but I want to prove to the world that this is a great method that will save the world!"

Seeing Tang Wanxin raise her hand, the sharp little knife was about to slice into his chest.

Jiang Yun shouted, "You won't succeed, because organs between people will cause rejection!"

"I'm guessing the symptoms of those people you replaced organs with before they died were fever, bleeding, and organ failure."

After speaking, Jiang Yun closed his eyes. He could only pray that these words would save his life.

After a long while, he didn't feel any pain in his chest.

Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes and saw Tang Wanxin's hand still raised. She looked at Jiang Yun in shock, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Rejection? Organ failure?"

Tang Wanxin had never heard these terms before. Her eyes turned a bit colder, and she said in a deep voice, "Continue."

Continue what?

Jiang Yun was a Daoist priest in his past life, not a doctor. He had only vaguely heard of rejection.

He couldn't explain anything too detailed.

Jiang Yun could only take a deep breath and say, "Simply put, humans are made of cells. When you put someone else's organ into the body, the cells of both sides will mutually reject each other."

Tang Wanxin stared at Jiang Yun in shock and asked coldly, "You've also researched the Method of Animal Husbandry?"

"I know a little."

Tang Wanxin's eyes were filled with enthusiasm as she asked, "Then how can the rejection you mentioned be resolved?"

Jiang Yun closed his eyes and said lightly, "You're not expecting me to lie on the board and explain it to you slowly, are you?"

"I'm sorry, I have no intention of letting you go."

Although Tang Wanxin was interested in what Jiang Yun said, she wouldn't just believe him after a few words.

She didn't know if what Jiang Yun said was true, so she said, "Unless you can prove what you're saying is true."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said, "I can't prove it. This, strictly speaking, falls under the category of Medicine."

"Medicine?" Tang Wanxin's eyes lit up slightly. "You don't think this is an evil art either, do you?"

"Of course not..." Jiang Yun felt creeped out by her stare and followed her train of thought, "You're actually just researching too far ahead."

"If you were to study diligently, step by step, perhaps your achievements would be limitless."

This was the truth in Jiang Yun's heart.

You see, even with medicine as advanced as it was in my previous life, organ transplant surgeries were extremely dangerous.

There were also many variables.

In this ancient feudal dynasty.

The most advanced medicine could be found in places that gathered traditional Chinese herbs.

More remote areas even resorted to shamanistic rituals.

In this environment, Tang Wanxin was jumping straight to organ transplantation.

That was a leap too far.

It was like someone was still researching how to send Kongming lanterns into the sky, while she wanted to research sending rockets to the moon.

Wasn't that just playing around?

Unexpectedly, Tang Wanxin's tear-filled eyes listened to my words. Of course, she often looked like that.

"I didn't expect you to be someone who understands," Tang Wanxin sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I still need to dig out your heart and try."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but curse inwardly. I've told you so much.

Don't you think I'm a talent worth keeping?

Or are you still thinking of digging out my heart?

Jiang Yun quickly said, "Wait, there are ways to deal with rejection."

"Oh?" Tang Wanxin frowned and asked coldly, "Tell me."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said, "You have to promise not to kill me after I tell you."

Tang Wanxin shook her head, "I can't promise."

Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and said, "The closer the blood relation, the lower the rejection reaction."

Although Jiang Yun didn't understand medicine, he knew that organ transplantation purely depended on whether the organs matched, and it shouldn't have much to do with blood relations.

But since someone was going to die anyway.

It was better for someone from Prince Su's Mansion to die first.

Listening to Jiang Yun's words, Tang Wanxin's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and she said coldly, "Are you sure? Do you know that the Prince's close relatives are all..."

"Believe it or not."

After speaking, Jiang Yun closed his eyes, assuming a posture of letting himself be slaughtered.

Tang Wanxin paced back and forth in the dungeon.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the dungeon, and Xiao Jingyuan, dressed in brocade, slowly walked down.

Seeing that Jiang Yun was still alive, he frowned, "Why haven't you dug out his heart yet?"

"He can't die yet," Tang Wanxin said in a deep voice, "Young Master, the Prince might be saved!"

"Oh?"

Tang Wanxin said in a deep voice, "But it requires a heart, a heart from royalty!"

After Tang Wanxin's explanation, Xiao Jingyuan slowly nodded, feeling it made sense. "Father is royalty, and he has royalty's blood flowing through him."

"It's normal for the hearts of ordinary commoners not to integrate with our royal bloodline."

Lying on the chopping block, Jiang Yun heard this and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

However, it was not surprising for people of this era to have such thoughts.

"Since that's the case, this person is useless now. Kill him," Xiao Jingyuan drew the long sword in his hand and walked towards Jiang Yun on the chopping block.
