Chapter 1550: The third big gift, the Emperor of Chu

"By order of the Great Chanyu, the third big gift is specially sent—the Emperor of Chu's state letter!"

"The Emperor of Chu has ordered that in one month, the Second Princess of Great Chu, Chu Qingluan, will take the infant she gave birth to and head to the grasslands for a marriage alliance. This great joyous event is specially reported to our close friend, Minister Gao!"

The third day.

On Zhu Que Avenue, the arrogant voice of the Xiongnu rang out.

He held a state letter high.

On both sides of Zhu Que Avenue, the people had long heard that the Xiongnu Chanyu had prepared four big gifts. First, a broken blade, and the second gift was a blood-stained armor and a severed arm...

Therefore, driven by anger and curiosity, the people of Changan waited on both sides of the street early in the morning.

The Xiongnu Chanyu did as he wished; this movement spread throughout Changancheng.

When the people heard this, their expressions changed.

"Hiss!"

"Isn't the Second Princess of Chu one of Minister Gao's women? The Emperor of Chu sent her to the grasslands for a marriage alliance?"

"This Emperor of Chu is clearly trying to please the Xiongnu. They know that the Second Princess of Chu is Minister Gao's person; this is clearly intentional. If the Second Princess of Chu goes to the Xiongnu, can there be any good?"

"Wait, don't you find it strange? Why does the Xiongnu Chanyu specifically state that the infant born to Chu Qingluan is also following? The Second Princess of Chu has no marriage contract, where did the child come from? And what does it have to do with Minister Gao?"

For a time, some were confused, and some changed their expressions drastically.

Huang Zhizhan heard the movement and came to Zhu Que Avenue early in the morning. His heart was also full of anger, but after listening to the discussions of some people.

"Boom!"

His whole body felt as if it had been hit hard.

"An infant? Calculating the time, this Xiongnu Chanyu specifically stated it. Could it be... could it be the child born to Minister Gao and the Second Princess of Chu?"

Huang Zhizhan thought of this possibility, and his hands and feet felt cold.

First Gao Yang's second uncle, and now the state letter from the Emperor of Chu, actively informing them of all this, targeting Gao Yang's woman and his own flesh and blood.

Even as an outsider, Huang Zhizhan felt endless anger in his heart, let alone the person involved, Gao Yang; what kind of feeling was in his heart?

Cui Xinghe was in white robes, staring at the Xiongnu holding the state letter high, his heart gradually enlightened, and his expression became more solemn.

"Such means are both humiliation and revenge, but also hide murderous intent!"

"This hurdle is not easy to pass!"

For a time, the news that the Living Yama once had a child with the Second Princess of Chu, Chu Qingluan, and that Chu Qingluan and the child were sent by the Emperor of Chu to marry the Xiongnu, spread throughout Changancheng like a hurricane.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Shangguan Wan'er heard the news, and her beautiful eyes changed drastically.

"What?"

"That Chu Qingluan and Gao Yang gave birth to a child?"

Shangguan Wan'er was shocked.

Wu Zhao saw this and sighed, "Wan'er, do you remember the time when the three generations of the Gao family worked together to beat the Pei family's young master?"

Shangguan Wan'er said in disbelief, "Could it be because of this?"

Wu Zhao nodded gently and said, "At that time, the First Princess of Great Chu had just sent a letter, begging Gao Yang to take action. In the letter... whether it was Chu Qingluan or this child, they were all quite miserable. This is also why the Pei family was so miserable."

"The Pei family's young master offended someone he shouldn't have at an inappropriate time. Of course, part of this was that I wanted to take action against the Pei family earlier."

"This... is the truth!"

Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes, understanding everything.

All doubts were swept away in this instant.

Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and said to Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu Chanyu has a wolf's ambition. He is both fanning the flames and creating public opinion, clearly wanting to humiliate Gao Yang and ignite the anger in his heart."

"Your Majesty, you should find a way to stop it!"

Wu Zhao was a bit surprised, "After this news came, you are still thinking about Gao Yang?"

Shangguan Wan'er was in green robes, bowed and said, "Your subject is also angry, angry that Minister Gao actually hid it from me, but when it comes to settling accounts, that is a matter for the future."

"Now, the most important thing is Minister Gao."

"Although Minister Gao is known as Da Qian's first poisonous strategist and is rumored to be extremely evil, in my heart, he also hides a softness; he also has flesh and blood!"

"Anger will devour a person's reason, I am a little... worried!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were complex, staring at Shangguan Wan'er and saying, "Wan'er, now... it's too late, it can't be stopped."

"Your Majesty, why can't it be stopped?"

Logically speaking, since Wu Zhao said it couldn't be stopped, as a subject, she shouldn't ask more, but in her anxiety, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't care about that anymore.

Wu Zhao stared at Shangguan Wan'er and said word by word.

"First a broken blade, then the armor and severed arm that confirmed his identity, and now the state letter from the Emperor of Chu. Then what do you think the fourth gift will be?"

Boom!

Shangguan Wan'er's pupils shrank, and a stormy sea surged in her heart.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were deep, looking at the dim sky outside the hall and saying, "This fourth gift, if I am not mistaken, is Prefect Gao."

"This, how can I stop it?"

For a time, Shangguan Wan'er fell silent.

Meanwhile.

Dingguo Duke's Mansion.

In Gao Tianlong's small courtyard.

Chen Sheng stepped forward carefully, holding a state letter and saying, "Eldest Young Master, this is the third gift sent by the Xiongnu Chanyu, the Emperor of Chu's state letter."

"In one month, the Second Princess of Great Chu will take your flesh and blood and head to the Xiongnu for a marriage alliance."

Chen Sheng's voice became smaller and smaller, carefully looking at Gao Yang's calm face.

In fact, Chen Sheng's heart was also full of anger.

This Xiongnu Chanyu deliberately humiliated Gao Yang, which was also humiliating him.

Gao Yang's expression was calm as he took the state letter.

He opened it and saw, as Chen Sheng said, the letter contained some nonsense, but the meaning was that, and it was also stamped with the Chu Kingdom's jade seal.

His woman, his child, in one month, would depart from the Chu Imperial City and head to the Xiongnu for a marriage alliance, and what awaited them would be an endless purgatory.

Everything had happened in the worst possible direction.

"Eldest Young Master, now the entire Changancheng is discussing this matter. Should I order someone to go and refute the rumors?" Chen Sheng asked again.

Lǜluo returned from visiting her relatives and stood beside Gao Yang, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

This was the first time she had seen Gao Yang with this expression, which made her extremely worried.

"No need."

"There is no need for this."

Gao Yang shook his head and tore the state letter from the Emperor of Chu into pieces, bit by bit. On his face was extreme calmness.

Beside him.

Gao Feng walked over and asked.

Gao Yang told him the whole story, which made Gao Feng gnash his teeth and punch the wall.

He didn't say a word, even though his back teeth hurt from clenching.

"How is Grandfather?" Gao Yang asked.

"I changed several physicians, all of whom said it was caused by extreme anger, which led to vomiting blood and fainting. He needs time to recuperate. He woke up once an hour ago, ate some rice porridge, and went back to sleep."

"Currently, his body is fine, you don't need to worry too much."

Gao Feng patted Gao Yang on the shoulder and said.

Gao Yang nodded slightly and did not speak.

Gao Feng's eyes were full of worry. The more Gao Yang was like this, the more uneasy he felt, as if a terrifying storm was contained within this body.

It was just that the full-blown anger, that storm capable of overturning everything, was still being pressed down by Gao Yang, bit by bit, until it was pressed into the deepest part of his heart... ===== CHAPTER 1552 =====
