Chapter 572 Everything I Say Is Wrong!
Hearing this, Eunuch He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said bitterly:

"He didn't dare to admit it, but it's a pity that the lowly man's heart is higher than the sky. When he saw Xie Yuan, he had to compare himself with him, suppressed Xie Yuan, and said bald when he got excited. If you want me to say, why don't you Kill him? What do you think about keeping such a hidden danger?"

Ma Guogong raised his head, looked at the small window on the top of the cell and was silent for a long time, then suddenly said:
"Who would have thought that this would be the end... In order not to attract attention, I thought I would let him die on the battlefield after the limelight."

When Eunuch He heard that Ma Guogong had admitted it, he immediately became furious, slapped the railing and said angrily:

"You really did it! Ma Xianghe! The first emperor and His Majesty treated you well. Your daughter is still a queen. You, Ma Xianghe, have changed from a nothing farmer to today's uncle. You have gained wealth and glory. Just a little Don't you remember His Majesty's kindness!"

Hearing this, Ma Guogong turned his body and turned to look at him. He was a little puzzled, but his voice was still calm and indifferent, and said:

"It was Princess Huaizhen I killed, and it was Xie who killed me. How can I be sorry to the late Emperor, or to Your Majesty?"

Eunuch He was stalked by the question, and almost jumped in anger:

"You still know that you killed the princess, the princess of the royal family! That is the most beloved daughter of the late emperor, and the sister of His Majesty today! You killed the princess and despised the majesty of the royal family, do you still think you are right?!"

Ma Guogong sneered, looked back, and said:

"Princess, speaking of noble status, isn't it a daughter? If you marry, you belong to someone else's family. How much does it have anything to do with the majesty of the royal family?"

"You!!!" Eunuch He was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Talking to a darling slave who doesn't care about anything except his own son, it's strange that he can listen to the fact that the princess is also of royal blood!
"Okay, okay, you can think so, but unfortunately the law doesn't say so, and His Majesty doesn't think so either, just wait for the whole family to copy and kill you!" Eunuch He said.

Unexpectedly, Ma Guogong was still very calm, as if he had already made preparations, he raised his face and said:

"Whatever you... my son died, and my grandson sent me away. The rest of the family... shouldn't die with me. It's a pity that the grandson is too young, and I don't know if he can support him. "

Eunuch He wanted to leave, but turned around suddenly and asked:

"When did you send your grandson away, why don't I know?"

Ma Guogong laughed twice from his throat, seemed to be very happy, and said:
"You look down on me too much. You forgot...you and I have been friends for more than 30 years. We have done glorious things together, and we have done dirty things together. Who doesn't know who? I'm afraid even you The little girl who warms the bed, I don’t even understand you.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his face to look at Eunuch He again, and in Eunuch He's panicked eyes, said mysteriously:
"I can... bypass your eyeliner and plan to kill Princess Huaizhen, don't you think that the eyeliner you placed beside me is useless?"

Eunuch He was shocked. He had thought about it, but later on, there were so many people mourning at Duke Ma's mansion. Taking advantage of the crowd, he arranged for two more people to come in, and asked other people for news from time to time...

How could it be possible... He didn't even know about such a big movement of sending an infant child away? !

"When?!" Eunuch He asked urgently, "Today?"

Ma Guogong looked at him mockingly, shook his head disapprovingly, and said:

"Go and investigate by yourself. When the late emperor was around, you would help him take care of the spies. You have been a veteran for so many years, so you can't expect me to tell you everything."

Eunuch He panicked at first, but gradually calmed down, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:

"You talk so much today because you know that you are going to die. People always have a lot of things to say before they die... If you don't tell me, who are you going to talk to? Should I call Shen Guozhu over, you and him Say?"

Ma Guogong sighed and said:

"What do you want him to do... I'm not familiar with you. I just want to say..."

Ma Guogong paused, and after a long silence, he suddenly said in a sinister and vicious voice:

"My son is gone, Ma's family is gone, and none of you can think about it!"

Eunuch He was startled and asked quickly:
"What do you mean by that?!"

Ma Guogong obviously didn't want to talk anymore, closed his eyes, loosened his crossed legs, leaned against the wall, and said like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water:
"Go and check...but it's too late to find out. I'm a dying person, and things are out of my control."

"You..." Eunuch He realized the seriousness of the matter from Ma Guogong's words. It is very likely that it is related to the national unification, but he doesn't know how he operates.
"You...you tell me what you have done, don't act foolishly, your daughter is the queen, half of the whole country will have half of your Ma family in the future, don't do stupid things!"

Of course, these words are obviously of no use to Duke Ma, in his heart... when his son is around, that half of the country is useful, because it can make his son have no worries about food and clothing.

Now that the son is gone, so what if the queen's daughter gave birth to a prince, this country cannot be named Ma, what does it have to do with him?
So he just snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and said nothing again.

Seeing this, Eunuch He hurried outside, intending to interrogate the members of the Ma family one by one to see if he could find any clues.

Palace of the Song Dynasty

The little emperor was looking at the case file of Princess Huaizhen's murder, even though it was simplified, the bold and insulting details in it still made him furious.

He gritted his teeth with hatred, and tightened his hands holding the file, the writing paper on it was almost crumpled.

Finally, with a roar from his throat, he tore up the file with all his strength, threw it to the ground, and roared angrily:
"It's useless for me to trust him so much, and treat him as my relative!...Pull his nine clans! You must kill his nine clans!"

Shen Guozhu frowned upon hearing this, lowered his voice, and patiently explained:
"Your Majesty... Ma Guogong gave birth to a total of 25 daughters and one son, all of whom have been married. If he punishes the nine clans, he will be involved in a wide range of cases, and His Majesty may have a reputation for cruelty. Moreover, there are many in-laws of Ma Guogong's family. Those who are in official positions...Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"I don't care!!" The little emperor cried and roared, pointing at Shen Qingzhi and said, "Those who harmed my imperial sister, if you don't punish the nine clans, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart!"

"Your Majesty..." Shen Qingzhi wanted to persuade him again, but just as he opened his mouth, he was blocked back.

"I'm still the emperor!! I listened to you before, and you said I had no opinion. Now it's rare for me to insist once, and you say I'm cruel and immoral!! Whatever I say or do is wrong!"
