Chapter 1456

But today, not only did he speak very straightforwardly, but he also agreed so straightforwardly.

Something is wrong.

One hundred percent wrong.

Wu Zhao thought of Gao Yang's so-called 'emo' and felt curious in her heart.

"Prime Minister Gao, what is the reason for this emo?"

"Can I know?" Wu Zhao asked curiously.

Gao Yang, upon hearing this, subconsciously looked at Shangguan Wan'er to the side.

Wu Zhao looked thoughtful.

This thing seems to be related to Shangguan Wan'er.

And Gao Yang seems not to want Shangguan Wan'er to know.

"Wan'er, you go out and wait for me first; I have some things to discuss with Prime Minister Gao alone."

Shangguan Wan'er, although curious, heard Wu Zhao's voice and retreated outside.

After Shangguan Wan'er left, Wu Zhao said to Gao Yang: "Prime Minister Gao, you can speak now."

Gao Yang, upon hearing this, looked at Wu Zhao with shock.

"Shocked that I saw it?" Wu Zhao stood with her hands behind her back, looking arrogant.

"No!"

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you weren't curious?" Gao Yang's eyes widened, and he said to Wu Zhao.

Is the dignified Empress so gossipy?

Wu Zhao: "…"

Her face turned black, and a sense of displeasure permeated her surroundings, while a sense of fury swept in all directions.

Gao Yang immediately became honest and sighed to Wu Zhao, "This matter is something I fear Your Majesty will ridicule, so it's better not to say it."

Wu Zhao's face tightened, and she suddenly said, "Prime Minister Gao, in your heart, am I this kind of person?"

"I am the Son of Heaven, how could I ridicule you?"

Since Wu Zhao had said so, if he didn't say it, it would be a bit disrespectful to Wu Zhao.

So, Gao Yang sighed and told the whole story, only covering up the part about Bai Xinxin wanting to share the world with him.

"Your Majesty, the matter is just like this!"

Wu Zhao, upon hearing this, was suddenly stunned.

Then, she laughed out loud.

"I truly didn't expect that the dignified Da Qian Living Yama, who is feared by countless people in the seven kingdoms and is the number one poisonous strategist of Da Qian who left Zhao Guo in misery, would become emo because of this!"

"If this were to spread to the seven kingdoms, I fear countless people would laugh their teeth off and find it unbelievable!"

"Hahaha, you've become a father!"

At this very moment, the doubts in Wu Zhao's mind were swept away, and everything was clear.

No wonder the three generations of the Duke of Ding's mansion were all emo at the same time—it was because of this!

Gao Yang has a bad reputation and many beauties around him, but he still has no offspring.

Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong must have been anxious for a long time.

And if Chu Qingluan really has a child, that would be Gao Yang's eldest son!

This significance is different!

Gao Yang: "…"

If he had known Wu Zhao would laugh like this, he would rather die than say it.

This laughter… the offensive power is not great, but the insulting power is extremely strong!

Too… excessive!

Wu Zhao also knew she had lost her composure, tried to hold back her laughter, and said to Gao Yang, "Prime Minister Gao, I didn't mean it, I just couldn't hold it back for a moment."

"But Prime Minister Gao solving the monopoly of sage books by noble families and influencing the court with annotations and explanations—I am very comforted!"

"I will write a letter myself to negotiate with the Chu Emperor; if the Great Chu Princess really has a child, I will get it back for you!"

Wu Zhao was very straightforward and made up her mind.

But Gao Yang showed no joy; on the contrary, he shook his head, "Your Majesty, no!"

"Now the world knows that your subject is vicious and heartless; if Your Majesty goes to negotiate, it will undoubtedly expose your subject's weakness."

"This is not a good thing; furthermore, your subject has a blood feud with Chu Guo—even if Chu Guo sends a child, is that really your subject's child?"

"If your subject doesn't make a sound and has no reaction, pretending not to know, and then secretly finding another way, it would be better."

Wu Zhao, after listening, also secretly nodded.

This matter is indeed a bit thorny; if Gao Yang doesn't care, then naturally there is no influence.

Or like some vassal kings of Da Qian, who have hundreds of offspring—more than a production team's sow—then it's not a big problem.

But Gao Yang is clearly not very capable, and the entire Duke of Ding's mansion is not very capable in terms of offspring.

And Gao Yang clearly cares about this child, so the problem is troublesome.

"In that case, I will first send experts from the Western Depot, using all of Da Qian's secret agents in Chu Guo, to confirm the truth of this matter first, and then make plans."

Gao Yang bowed to Wu Zhao respectfully, "Your subject thanks Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister Gao, you are welcome; you poking that Great Chu Princess is also raising the national prestige of Da Qian, and now making her belly bulge is also giving Da Qian face."

"This is what I should do!"

Gao Yang's mouth twitched, but he said to Wu Zhao, "This matter has not yet come to light, so please keep it secret for your subject."

"I know, Prime Minister Gao can rest assured."

Soon, Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er left.

Gao Yang thought of the extremely realistic dream and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey!"

"My good eldest son!"

"…"

Meanwhile.

On the grasslands.

A strong wind blew, bringing a desolate chill.

Batier sat alone in the tent, drinking fine wine and eating lamb legs.

But as the saying goes, 'borrowing wine to drown sorrows only makes them deeper'; Batier's mood was becoming increasingly annoyed.

Thinking of the great humiliation Gao Yang had brought to the Xiongnu, his eyes became increasingly scarlet.

The lair was wiped out.

The great grandfather was captured, and the great uncle was also captured.

Even the great-grandmother was gone.

He himself had an arrow in his leg and still couldn't walk properly.

Even now, the whole grassland is spreading the news that the Living Yama didn't even spare the Great Eshi.

"Great humiliation!"

"Simply a great humiliation!"

Batier let out an angry roar.

But at this moment, a majestic and tall figure lifted the tent and walked in.

"Father Khan!"

Batier, seeing Helian Cha, quickly stood up.

Helian Cha also knew Batier's inner resentment, but he also said to Batier.

"A true warrior should face setbacks and failures directly, rather than becoming a useless drunkard!"

"A small setback like this has made you dejected and discouraged?"

Helian Cha scolded.

"Father Khan, your son knows he was wrong!"

Helian Cha saw Batier's attitude, his eyes turned warm, and he said to Batier.

"Father Khan has brought you good news this time, related to that Da Qian Living Yama; do you want to hear it?"
