Chapter 476: A Scapegoat
In the middle of the night, Yun Ci suddenly opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked at the cold moonlight outside the window. There were waves of roars coming with the wind. She covered her chest with her hands, and her heart beat violently.
It's been like this for days.
The heart is slow during the day, but at night, the heart beats fast, with a thumping sound like a thunderous drum.
This should be the connection between her and Dongtang Chiyou.
Although I don't know why this happened, it stands to reason that he still doesn't have Zhongtongshengshishigu.
Yunci began to suffer from insomnia all night long, worrying about Dongtang Chiyou's condition, which made her unable to fall asleep at all, and sometimes she couldn't hold on, and would have nightmares when she fell asleep. In the dream, Dongtang Chiyou fell to the ground with bruises all over her body. , dripping with blood, and then wake up with a start.
Even knowing that he will not die, even knowing that he will come out eventually, every minute and every second of waiting is suffering, worrying about what he should eat and drink, worrying that he will be hurt, worrying that he will be afraid of being alone.
The wound hadn't healed yet, Yunci couldn't lift his spirits, his face was pale under the veil, and he gradually lost weight, without taking a step, the wound on his knee was torn, the wound on his arm was inflamed, and he couldn't even hold things steady , even Mu Huaiyu could see that something was wrong with her.
"You've been out of shape recently, are you still in good health?"
Yun Ci lowered his eyebrows, and casually said something perfunctory.
At this time, Duan Honglin and Yan Zhuo walked into the hall, sat down on the sofa, and raised their hands to order Yun Ci to make tea.
Yunci strode to the tea table, endured the pain in his arm and picked up the purple clay teapot.
Duan Honglin's face was a little dignified, and he said: "If this continues, the Federation will find us again sooner or later. We have to find a way."
Mu Huaiyu raised his eyes lightly: "What? Do you have a good idea?"
"Since we told the federation that we gathered here to help Zhaoguo overcome difficulties, then we should do so." Duan Honglin smiled wickedly, as if he had thought of some bad idea again.
Mu Huaiyu narrowed his sharp eyes: "How to say?"
Duan Honglin picked up the freshly made hot tea, sipped it on his lips, smiled like a sly fox, and said the most evil words in a casual tone: "The outside world thinks that King Zhao is missing, Then we will help Zhaoguo support a new king."
Yunci stopped making tea.
Mu Huaiyu also showed a slightly puzzled look: "The new king?"
"Yes, the puppet king." With a snap, Duan Honglin put the empty teacup in front of Yunci, and said, "In the name of helping Zhaoguo and supporting the new king, under this cover, we can act unscrupulously." conduct experiments."
Yunci's heart tightened, and he instantly understood the meaning of Duan Honglin's words.
The puppet king, controlled by them and appointed by them, is completely a scapegoat.
No matter what happens to Zhao Kingdom in the future, this puppet king will bear all the crimes for them, but they can stay out of it, leave it clean, and even leave a good reputation of helping neighboring countries.
What a great way!
It's no wonder that eight years later, the outside world thought that Zhao Kingdom died overnight due to unknown reasons, but they didn't know about this experiment or the crimes committed by Lijiang Ming and Three Kingdoms!
It is extremely hypocritical to do such a cruel thing, and to be afraid of being spurned by the outside world and future generations!
Mu Huaiyu pondered for a moment: "Who would be willing to be this puppet king."
The smile on Duan Honglin's lips sank instantly, he shrugged his shoulders, and sighed: "This is the most troublesome part."
