Chapter 1358

The Lu family.

As soon as Lu Wen returned to the mansion, he started rummaging through the house.

Lu Wen's wife, seeing this scene, felt dissatisfied and stepped forward, frowning.

"Husband, what kind of illness are you having early in the morning? What are you looking for?"

Lu Wen didn't even turn his head, "Where is that Star-Patterned Spirit Rhinoceros Horn obtained from the Western Regions?"

"How precious is the Star-Patterned Spirit Rhinoceros Horn? Naturally, I hid it. What do you want it for?"

Lu Wen stopped his movements and walked towards Lady Lu, "I want to give it to Lord Gao, bring it to me quickly!"

When Lady Lu heard this, it was as if she had been stepped on; she exploded.

"Lu Wen, are you crazy? Hasn't that Living Yama pitted us enough? How much silver did that slash cost me? The Star-Patterned Spirit Rhinoceros Horn is so precious, and you want to give it to him? There is absolutely no possibility of this!"

The next second.

Slap!

Lu Wen slapped her directly.

Lady Lu was stunned. Lu Wen had always been afraid of his wife because she had never left him in the early years, and her maiden family had provided great support to Lu Wen, so Lu Wen respected her highly; let alone hitting her, he didn't even dare to scold her.

"Lu Wen, you hit me?"

"This life is impossible to live!"

Lady Lu sat on the ground and began to wail.

But Lu Wen said coldly, "Today, the Living Yama was appointed Champion Marquis and Chancellor of Da Qian. How old is he? He has just reached adulthood. If this relationship is not repaired..."

"Then this life is indeed not worth living. If he takes revenge, our whole family will go to Lingnan to watch monkeys together."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Lady Lu was dumbfounded, then hurriedly wiped her tears, stood up, and said, "I'll go get it."

For a time, a huge clamor arose in Changan City.

Countless people were shocked by this news. It can be expected that the threshold of the Dingguo Duke mansion will be flattened next!

"..."

Meanwhile.

Inside the Imperial Garden.

Flowers were competing for beauty, blooming extremely beautifully, and the air was full of refreshing fragrance.

Wu Zhao and Gao Yang sat on stone chairs in the pavilion, with tea overflowing with fragrance in front of them.

Wu Zhao picked up the teacup in front of her, took a shallow sip, and then said to Gao Yang, "Lord Gao, how are the flowers in my Imperial Garden blooming?"

Wu Zhao's words carried a faint pride.

Her flowers came from all over Da Qian, even the distant Western Regions, and they naturally bloomed extremely beautifully.

Gao Yang heard Wu Zhao's words and shook his head directly, "Average, just so-so."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Zhao was unsettled.

"Lord Gao, this is just so-so?"

Her flowers in the Imperial Garden were blooming brilliantly at this moment, and this is just average? Where is it average?

Gao Yang said with a smile, "Because Your Majesty and Lady Shangguan are right in front of me, looking at it this way, these flowers are not presentable."

Wu Zhao: "..."

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

"Lord Gao, as a Chancellor, one should be mature and steady; this kind of glib tongue is not good."

Wu Zhao reprimanded him, her cold voice ringing out.

But she looked like she was in a very good mood.

Gao Yang saw this and said, "Your Majesty is right, but Heaven has pity; there is a term called 'beauty that can be eaten.' In front of Your Majesty and Lady Shangguan, I can eat a few more bowls of rice."

Wu Zhao smiled, her slender fingers playing with the teacup in her hand, and said, "Then I will ask another question: who is better looking, me or Lady Shangguan?"

Shangguan Wan'er knew that Wu Zhao was joking, so she also tightened her smile and said,

"Lord Gao, this official is also curious, in your heart, who is better looking?"

As soon as this fatal question was asked, a layer of fine cold sweat seeped out on Gao Yang's forehead.

This is a life-threatening question!

"Your Majesty, I think that as an emperor, you should be more steady. This question is too life-threatening."

Gao Yang said with a bitter face.

Hearing this, Wu Zhao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "There is still a question in this world that can stop you, Gao Yang, it's truly rare!"

"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's talk about business. What does Lord Gao think of my reward today?"

Wu Zhao thought of business and asked.

Gao Yang said very decisively, "Your Majesty's reward exceeded my expectations. My first feeling in my heart is that I cannot repay it, so I can only offer myself." ===== CHAPTER 1360 =====
