Chapter 475 A Scapegoat
Late at night, Yun Ci suddenly opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, looked at the cold moonlight outside the window, bursts of roars drifted in with the wind, she covered her chest with her hands, her heart beating violently.

It has been like this for the past few days.

The heart beats slowly during the day, but at night it beats very fast, making a thumping sound like a thunder drum.

This should be the connection between her and Dongtang Chiyou.

Although he didn't know why this situation had occurred, logically speaking, he had not been infected with the life and death together Gu yet.

Yun Ci began to suffer from insomnia all night long, worrying about Dong Tang Chi You's condition, which made it impossible for her to fall asleep. Sometimes she couldn't hold on and had nightmares when she fell asleep. In her dreams, Dong Tang Chi You fell to the ground, covered with bruises and blood, and then she would wake up in shock.

Even though I knew he wouldn't die, even though I knew he would eventually come out, every minute and every second of waiting was torture. I worried about what he would eat and drink, worried that he would get hurt, and worried that he would be afraid of being alone.

The wound had not healed yet, and Yun Ci was in low spirits. Her face was pale under the veil, and she was getting thinner and thinner. The wound on her knee was torn every time she took a step. The gunshot wound on her arm became inflamed, and she couldn't even hold things steadily. Even Mu Huaiyu could see that something was wrong with her.

"You haven't been in good shape recently. Are you still not well?"

Yun Ci lowered his brows and said something perfunctorily.

At this time, Duan Honglin and Yan Zhuo walked into the hall, sat down on the sofa, raised their hands and asked Yun Ci to make tea.

Yun Ci walked to the coffee table and picked up the purple clay teapot while enduring the pain in his arm.

Duan Honglin's face was slightly solemn, and he said, "If we continue like this, the Federation will find out about us sooner or later. We have to think of a way."

Mu Huaiyu raised his eyes slightly: "What? Do you have a good idea?"

"Since we told the Federation that we are here to help Zhaoguo overcome its difficulties, let's do this." Duan Honglin raised the corners of his lips with an evil smile, as if he had thought of another bad idea. Mu Huaiyu narrowed his sharp eyes: "What do you mean?"

Duan Honglin picked up the freshly brewed hot tea, put it to his lips and took a sip. He smiled like a cunning fox and said the most evil words in a nonchalant tone: "The outside world thinks that the king of Zhao is missing, so we will help Zhao support a new king."

Yun Ci paused while making tea.

Mu Huaiyu also showed a slightly puzzled look: "New king?"

"Yes, the puppet king." Duan Honglin placed the empty teacup in front of Yun Ci with a snap and said, "Under the pretext of helping Zhao State and supporting the new king, we can conduct experiments without restraint."

Yun Ci's heart tightened, and he instantly understood the meaning of Duan Honglin's words.

The puppet king, controlled and appointed by them, is completely a scapegoat.

No matter what happens to Zhao State in the future, this puppet king will bear all the sins for them, while they can stay out of it and get away with it cleanly, and even leave behind a good reputation of helping neighboring countries.

What a brilliant idea!
No wonder eight years later, the outside world thought that Zhao Kingdom disappeared overnight due to unknown reasons, but they were completely unaware of this experiment and the crimes of the Lijiang Ming Three Kingdoms!

It is so hypocritical to be afraid of being condemned by the outside world and future generations for doing such a cruel thing!
Mu Huaiyu pondered for a moment: "Who would be willing to be this puppet king?"

The smile on Duan Honglin's lips instantly sank. He shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "This is the most troublesome part."
