Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Twist of Fate

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, autumn has really arrived, the leaves are yellowing and falling, and the weather has turned from hot to cool.

"Second Miss, put on your clothes!? It's cold and it's easy to get sick. Licorice came up and put on a thin shirt for Xiao Wanyao and said.

Xiao Wanyao has lost a lot of weight in a month, and her already thin body now looks even thinner, but fortunately, she has been eating the silver snow lotus honey given to her by Xue Tianao, and her body is still very healthy under high-intensity work, and she has not collapsed.

Xiao Wanyao pulled the thin shirt draped over her shoulders with licorice, and then straightened up and rubbed her neck, the result of being at the desk for a long time was that her neck was numb and painful.

Licorice came over intimately and kneaded her shoulders and neck, and said at the same time: "Second Miss, it's already cold, and our preparations are almost done, shouldn't we talk to the Queen Mother?" ”

Xiao Wanyao knew that Licorice was anxious, although the current situation was special, it was indeed not far from the day of canonization, and what about herself, why not be in a hurry? But everything has to be done meticulously, step by step, and nothing can be wrong.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I'll go and tell the Queen Mother today, what you should prepare today, you should prepare first." After Xiao Wanyao finished speaking, she took a sip of tea, and then went to Empress Dowager Xue's bedroom alone.

Because of Empress Dowager Xue's decision, Tang Siqi has not seen Xiao Wanyao for a month, so Xiao Wanyao has no other worries except for preparing for surgery, this month is basically isolated from the world, Xiao Wanyao feels that she is also quite suitable for living this isolated life, only medical books and herbs are accompanied every day for a month, and she doesn't feel annoyed.

When Xiao Wanyao went to see the Empress Dowager Xue, her condition was still the same, but she rarely had a fever since she took the medicine, Xiao Wanyao came to acupuncture for her every day, and the effect was not bad, at least in the process of the tumor on her leg growing day by day, the Empress Dowager Xue's spirit still looked good.

dismissed the eunuch and palace maid who were waiting, and Xiao Wanyao lifted the quilt to check the condition of the sarcoma.

"In this month's time, the sarcoma has grown a lot, the Queen Mother, the time is ripe, and it can't be delayed any longer." Xiao Wanyao said, now that sarcoma is already the size of a fist, it is desperately absorbing the nutrients of the body, if it is not for Xiao Wanyao prescribing a prescription to inhibit its growth every day, I am afraid that Empress Dowager Xue will not be able to hold on now.

"What are you going to do?" Empress Dowager Xue asked.

Xiao Wanyao gritted her teeth and finally spoke: "Open the knife, cut this sarcoma." ”

Empress Dowager Xue seemed to be able to expect that this tumor could not be eliminated by medicine alone, so she was not too surprised, but she didn't expect Xiao Wanyao to bring it up so quickly, and she was not ready.

But Xiao Wanyao was already ready, she saw Empress Dowager Xue's hesitation, so she said: "Except for the surgical knife, the other Wanyao have been prepared, and the rest is how you plan and what the Holy Mother thinks." ”

"What if you don't go under the knife??" Empress Dowager Xue asked.

Knowing that she would ask this, Xiao Wanyao had already done her homework, and she was ready for Empress Dowager Xue's reluctance to cut the tumor or Tang Siqi's reluctance to take this risk.

"Now Wan Yao is not afraid of taboos, so she simply told the Empress Dowager directly that during this period of time, she completely relied on drugs to inhibit the growth of sarcoma, but that only slowed down the speed at which it grew up." Xiao Wanyao said frankly.

"You mean, sooner or later, will it grow up? Right? Empress Dowager Xue asked, "How long can the mourning family live?" You don't have to beat around the bush, just say it. ”

Xiao Wanyao sighed and said: "Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, Wanyao can only use medicine and acupuncture to delay her condition, after this autumn, after winter, it is completely a race for time with the king of Hades, and if you can live for a day, you will earn a day." ”

When Empress Dowager Xue heard this, she couldn't help but gasp, this meaning was already obvious, if she didn't cut it, she would only have about three months to live.

"So what happens if it fails? Will the mourners die? Empress Dowager Xue asked, if she failed, would she not even have to live for three months? So should you take the risk?

It is undeniable that Xiao Wanyao nodded: "If it fails, it is indeed impossible to save your life, so please think twice about the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Xue's eyebrows kept wrinkling, and the color of her lips became more and more pale: "What if it succeeds?" How many years can the mourning family live? ”

"There is no precise limit to this, what Wan Yao can guarantee is that there will be no civil strife in the Wei State within three years." Xiao Wanyao replied.

"Good!" Empress Dowager Xue's brows relaxed, that is to say, if she has surgery, she can get at least three years of life, and the price is to use her three-month life to gamble once, if she wins, she will receive ten times the gain, if she loses, it will be a loss of money.

"It's worth it." Empress Dowager Xue looked at Xiao Wanyao, her eyes gradually became firm, "The mourning family has to live a long time, Xiao Wanyao, you can do it." ”

Xiao Wanyao was a little embarrassed, and said: "If you want to use a knife on the Queen Mother, the Holy Lord may not agree!" ”

Empress Dowager Xue closed her eyes again, half-lying on the bed and waved her hand towards Xiao Wanyao: "You go and do your thing!" There is a mourning family over there in the saint, and the mourning family will talk to him in person after a while. ”

Xiao Wanyao said goodbye, and she will know in a while whether her efforts this month are worth it.

Fortunately, the dormitory and the side hall are not far away, and after a while, Tang Siqi came out, so he asked the little eunuch to pass a message to Xiao Wanyao, asking to meet in the main hall.

This time, Xiao Wanyao did not refuse, and immediately got up and followed the little eunuch to the main hall.

There was still Xiao Lizi standing at the door, Xiao Lizi saw that Xiao Wanyao was coming, and hurriedly said: "The saint has just come out of the dormitory, and he has been gloomy, and he wants to see the second miss by name, and now that the second miss has entered, you must be careful to speak, the slave sees that the saint is not in an ordinary bad mood at this time!" ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, I will naturally be careful." ”

Xiao Lizi nodded, and then went in to pass the word, Xiao Wanyao thought to herself, it is normal for Tang Siqi to be in a bad mood at this time, Xiao Wanyao wants to use a knife on his mother, and it may endanger her old man's life, he is not crazy enough.

Soon Xiao Lizi ran out again and said that she could go in, and as soon as Xiao Wanyao stepped into the main hall, she saw Tang Siqi pressing the desk with both hands, looking at her with red eyes.

"Greetings to the Holy One." Xiao Wanyao still hasn't forgotten the etiquette that should be there.

And Tang Siqi didn't care about this, and asked bluntly: "How sure are you that you will operate on my mother?" ”

Xiao Wanyao looked at the ground and said simply: "Fifty percent sure." ”

When Tang Siqi heard this, he sat down on the chair dejectedly, and muttered: "Fifty percent sure...... It's the same as not saying, isn't this just letting God decide the fate of the widow? ”

Xiao Wanyao also felt quite surprised after speaking, fifty percent sure that it was not something she said casually, but something she repeatedly compared and studied in the past month......

The funny thing is that it is not forty percent or sixty percent, it is such a very fatalistic probability.

"The saint doesn't have to worry too much, the Queen Mother's problem is on the leg, which increases the probability of success......"

"Isn't it still 50% sure after all!?" Tang Siqi said, his tone was full of helplessness, "The queen mother has just told the widow everything and told the widow not to embarrass you with this matter...... But who can sue the widow and what should the widow do!? Now the widow can't let his mother leave! ”

Xiao Wanyao believes that Tang Siqi is helpless at this moment, calculate the time, if Empress Dowager Xue leaves in this life, it will be too much earlier than the previous life, Tang Siqi can't cope with it at that time, let alone the third year of Yuan Shuo?

It is rare to see Tang Siqi so helpless, Xiao Wanyao has to admit that she has a little soft-hearted at this moment.

The two people above the hall fell into a long silence, Tang Siqi sat on the chair and pursed his lips, while Xiao Wanyao kept her head down, waiting for Tang Siqi to reply.

"What else do I need to prepare? Tell the widow that he will fully cooperate. Tang Siqi finally sat up and looked at Xiao Wanyao with a gloomy face, but his eyes became firm.

After the clouds, I saw the dawn, whether it was successful or not, it all depended on the knife in Xiao Wanyao's hand!

"Did the Holy One agree?" Xiao Wanyao asked.

Tang Siqi didn't speak, just nodded.

"Okay, Holy Lord, Wan Yao needs three special knives, material and size, Wan Yao has already written it clearly, and will send it later, but there is one point, it must be plated with a layer of silver on the knife body.

Silver plating is not an extremely complicated process, but in the Wei Kingdom, it is an extremely expensive process, but at this moment, Tang Siqi did not care about this, and readily agreed.

Next, Xiao Wanyao put forward a few more requests, and Tang Siqi agreed without hesitation.

She didn't say anything about letting her out of the palace, she believed that Tang Siqi would not agree, otherwise Empress Dowager Xue would not let her hide it.

You can't spoil a big thing because of a moment of unbearability.

The two sat in the main hall and talked in detail for an afternoon, Xiao Lizi was seriously recording for Tang Siqi on the side, an afternoon passed, Xiao Wanyao was already dry-mouthed, Tang Siqi was also a little tired, fortunately, everything that should be prepared had been discussed, and the rest was for Tang Siqi to send someone to prepare.

"Let's go back! After three days, the widow will give you everything you want. Tang Siqi rubbed his temples and said.

Xiao Wanyao nodded, got up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Tang Siqi: "In this way, the canonization ceremony will be postponed again, do you have anything to say to the widow?" ”

Xiao Wanyao turned around and smiled faintly at Tang Siqi: "After the end, the phoenix body of the Queen Mother is the mainstay, and everything else is just a trivial matter in front of this matter...... Shengshang, Wan Yao said too much today, and she is tired at this time, in order to have energy when she administers the needle to the Queen Mother tomorrow, Wan Yao will retire first, and hope that the Holy Lord will forgive her sins. ”

"Go back, it's okay." Tang Siqi didn't want to embarrass her, but he couldn't help but ask, he always felt that Xiao Wanyao was getting farther and farther away from him. R1154
