Chapter 1447

Meanwhile.

The Imperial Palace.

A guard with his head lowered, kneeling on the ground, but with calluses on his palms—clearly someone quite extraordinary—was reporting to Wu Zhao with a serious expression.

He was a Shadow Guard, a member of the imperial bodyguards through the generations, taking orders only from the Emperor!

"Your Majesty, the woman who looks like the Song family's daughter, Song Qingqing, has been found; her brows and eyes are sixty percent similar!"

"And her appearance is extremely pure, fitting Your Majesty's requirements."

Once these words were spoken, Wu Zhao's expression turned strange.

She looked at Shangguan Wan'er to the side and said somewhat awkwardly, "Wan'er, when I spoke of the beauty trap, I did indeed issue an order, as you know…"

"Now it seems it is no longer needed."

With Shangguan Wan'er and Gao Yang about to become a pair, her carrying out this beauty trap would be of little significance.

Shangguan Wan'er said understandingly, "Your Majesty, it wouldn't be impossible to carry out a beauty trap against Prime Minister Gao."

"Given Prime Minister Gao's character, your subject alone doesn't seem able to win him over."

Wu Zhao stared at the rather love-struck Shangguan Wan'er and fell into deep thought.

Following the path of the beauty trap, now that the woman resembling Song Qingqing had been found, the next step would be to secretly cultivate her, then arrange for Song Qingqing to die in an accident, making her the 'white moonlight' that becomes a swan song.

At that time, arrange an encounter for the woman resembling Song Qingqing to meet Gao Yang, completing the loop.

Just as Wu Zhao was hesitating, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Report!"

"Enter!"

Wu Zhao called out, her eyes filled with confusion.

She was curious about what news had arrived.

Soon, the person whispered in Wu Zhao's ear, leaving her instantly dumbfounded.

Her jade hands slowly rubbed the white jade teacup, her eyes full of doubt.

"Wan'er, it seems we guessed wrong." Wu Zhao took a deep breath and said.

Once these words were spoken.

Shangguan Wan'er also looked at Wu Zhao with a puzzled expression.

Wu Zhao explained,

"The latest news is that the Song family's daughter, Song Qingqing, played a scene of pleading for punishment, wanting to beg for Gao Yang's forgiveness."

Once this was said, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but look nervous.

"Your Majesty, and then?"

According to what they had said earlier, Gao Yang still harbored lingering feelings for Song Qingqing, it was just a case of 'love deep, hate deep'!

Now that Song Qingqing had taken the initiative to bow her head, would Gao Yang be moved?

Wu Zhao paused and then said, "Then Gao Yang said that to become a Prime Minister's wife, one must marry him when he has nothing, and also said he already has someone in his heart, humiliating Song Qingqing."

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

A sense of guilt arose in her heart.

Gao Yang had shown his feelings for her in public, yet she, due to her own misgivings, had supported Wu Zhao in carrying out the beauty trap.

She… truly deserves to die!

"Your Majesty, should this top-tier beauty trap still be carried out?"

Shangguan Wan'er suppressed the thoughts in her heart and asked.

Wu Zhao was also awkward.

She and Shangguan Wan'er had analyzed everything like tigers, but in the end, even the beginning was wrong.

But if they didn't launch it, the person had already been found…

"Forget it, follow the plan; find a suitable time to get rid of Song Qingqing, otherwise, all this time, manpower, and resources will have been wasted!"
