Chapter 256: The Need for Sacrifice

Coming out of the room, Ma Guogong stood outside the courtyard for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.

In fact, he never thought about getting to this point.

After all, the queen is from the Ma family, and the prince has the blood of the Ma family, as long as the Ma family is honest, takes care of the prince and cultivates it well, and ensures the glory of the Ma family within a few generations, there is no problem.

Ordinary families for a hundred years, hundreds of years of great families, that is not a problem for him to consider.

But now, he found that the Ma family seemed to be a little difficult to ride a tiger.

His eldest son died, died in the hands of King Ning, although King Ning delegated power, but Emperor Wen Zhao is still Emperor Wen Zhao, in addition to the transition to manage the government, now it is the same as before, the government just fell from the hands of King Ning to the hands of the Ma family.

No one knows what Emperor Wen Zhao thinks, if he suddenly wants to hand over the power of the dynasty to King Ning, according to the ability of the Ma family, can he stand it?

Apparently not.

After King Kening came to power, did he still allow the Ma family and the prince to ascend the throne?

Not necessarily.

As soon as Heng'er died, as long as the Ma family was still an individual, whether it was for the sake of face or something else, he would inevitably seek justice, and if he could be fair, he would completely stand himself on the opposite side of King Ning.

Coupled with tonight's incident, they have become enemies of King Ning, and there is no way to retreat.

Since there is no way out, then why bother to threaten the past with this move?

Isn't this clearly going to tell Emperor Wen Zhao that their Ma family has an idea?

Father is still old, instead of using those so-called evidence to threaten Emperor Wen Zhao and the Queen Mother to meet the so-called conditions of the Ma family, it is better to hold these evidence directly in his hands and use it once and for all.

The prince is young, and it will take a few more years to be justified, and Heng'er's breath, they can only swallow it temporarily!

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, we'll see!

The summer solstice is approaching, and the dawn is getting early.

Before the time came, the sky was already white.

In the palace hall, Emperor Wen Zhao and Li Qiong sat on each side, and only Gonggong Hai was waiting in the hall.

Emperor Wen Zhao looked at Li Qiong and said, "This morning, do you go or do I go?" ”

"I'll go." Li Qiong said lightly: "If the Ma family doesn't mention the events of the year today, they must want to endure this breath first, and then wait for you to be killed and the prince ascends the throne." ”

When Emperor Wen Zhao heard this, there was no wave on his face: "Why do they need to do it, I will die in a short time, but the crown prince ascends the throne, they don't even think about it!" ”

Mentioning life and death again, Li Qiong couldn't help sighing: "Perhaps, you should have done what Ma Guogong had arranged." ”

"What should I do?"

Emperor Wen Zhao snorted coldly: "According to their method, change the blood every ten years, suck the blood of your own brother, and then suck the blood of your own child?" So what has become of me? After all, the queen mother has the grace of giving birth to me, and she is confused for the sake of the queen, I can't say anything, but now, I have the final say! ”

He was visibly agitated, and he coughed incessantly as he said this, and it took him a while to calm down.

Emperor Wen Zhao said in a dumb voice: "One life is worth one life, and the method of exchanging blood can only be blood relatives, how is this different from cannibalism?" I don't want to be a monster! ”

Li Qiong said coldly when she heard this: "The Ma family should be damned!" If it weren't for the Ma family, why would you be here? ”

"If this matter is really to blame, the queen mother can't get out of it." Emperor Wen Zhao closed his eyes and said a little tiredly: "After all, she is my queen mother. ”

Li Qiong didn't say anything when she heard this.

Emperor Wen Zhao looked at him and said, "Do you really plan to stop recognizing her for the rest of your life?" ”

Li Qiong sneered: "I'm different from you, from the time I was abandoned, I will repay her kindness!" ”

He was obviously unwilling to continue the topic, so he stood up and said, "The time is coming, it's time to go to court." ”

The sky is getting brighter, and everything is calm.

When Xie Wan got up, the courtyard was clean and clean, and there was no trace left last night.

Yesterday, there was a bunch of news, and she was a little confused, but now she finally has to be free, and she can analyze it carefully.

However, as soon as she arrived at the study, spread out the paper, and was about to sort out all the news, a small servant from outside hurriedly came, saying that it was Aunt Cao of the Marquis of Wu'an, who came from the back door and came to visit.

Xie Wan was stunned when she heard this, what did Aunt Cao come to her for? She has done everything she can do, and she has taught everything she can teach about sterilization.

However, since Cao Gu came from the back door, she must not let everyone know, so she immediately nodded and said, "Yes, please." ”

Not long after, Aunt Cao came in a hurry, and when she saw Xie Wan, she didn't even say hello, so she said directly: "Miss Xie, I want to ask you to go for surgery with me." ”

Xie Wan: ......

"What surgery?"

Cao Gu probed the surroundings and confirmed that there was no one else except for the two maids in front of her, and then she spoke: "Naturally, it is the operation in that place, what hemostats, surgical scissors and other tools you mentioned before have been built, and I have also thought of a way to make sheep intestines, and today before dawn, I picked up a few corpses, which is an opportunity for practical operation." ”

Xie Wan was a little numb when she heard this, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to feel uncomfortable.

The point is, she had promised to go with her before.

But she keenly captured the question: "How many corpses have you picked up?" ”

Cao Gu nodded: "I don't know who died, I was thrown into a mass grave yesterday." I've been guarding it for the past few days, hoping to pick up a fresh one, and I'm lucky, I just picked it up, and it's still five. ”

Hearing this, Rushi and Ruhua glanced at each other.

Xie Wan is not stupid, as soon as she hears the word "dead", and then listens to the dug up before dawn today, she knows who these corpses are.

She couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, good guy, this is the best use of things!

Seeing that she didn't speak, Aunt Cao frowned and said, "Girl, is this a repentance?" ”

"Naturally, no." Xie Wan opened his mouth and said, "It's just dug up before dawn, it's already cold at the moment, right?" ”

"Don't worry about that." Cao Gu explained: "After I found the corpses, I soaked them in hot water, although it may not look right, but it was definitely warm. ”

The corners of Xie Wan's mouth twitched again when she heard this: "Okay, it's still Aunt Cao who has a way." ”

"Without further ado, let's go quickly." Cao Gu urged: "The water should be cold in the evening." ”

Xie Wan: ......

Her safety during the day is not a problem, it is picturesque, and there are secret guards.

So she sighed lightly, got up and said, "Let's go." ”

Scientific progress requires sacrifice.

And she, sacrificing her eyes.

Boom.

Aunt Cao's favorite thing in this life is to do experiments on people, and what is needed to do experiments is corpses, and the fresher the corpses, the better.

Therefore, in addition to working as a servant in Shuntianfu, she also deliberately built a house next to the mass grave, just so that she could dig up fresh corpses.

The bodies of the five dead soldiers of the Ma family last night were placed in the house.

When Xie Wan entered, she was almost frightened and rushed out of the door.

Inside the room were four large buckets, each containing a corpse.
