Chapter 184

"Even if Prince Rong is more calculating, how could he expect me to make a move at this time?"

Wu Zhao touched her chin, a flash of brilliance flickering in her eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

"Your Majesty, your subject must return to the mansion to prepare; please trouble Your Majesty to send someone to summon me later."

Suddenly, Gao Yang said.

"What are you preparing?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao's eyes immediately surged with curiosity.

After all, they had already discussed it at the Rouge Pavilion, and Gao Yang had already provided a very complete plan.

Now he needs to prepare again?

Gao Yang smiled innocently. "Your Majesty, you also know that your subject has always been a very cautious person, especially when facing Prince Rong; naturally, I must be even more cautious."

"Preparing a bit more is certainly not wrong."

Wu Zhao's mouth twitched.

She looked deeply at Gao Yang but didn't speak.

"In that case, I will send someone to summon you later; I will wait for you in the Imperial Study!"

Gao Yang hurriedly bowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gao Yang got off the carriage and headed straight for the Duke of Ding's mansion.

After Gao Yang left, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, have you really decided?"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes carried a coldness, and a powerful aura permeated her body.

She said coldly, "Regardless of whether Prince Rong has rebellious intentions, he is blocking my path. I gave him a chance to relinquish power, but he was reluctant to give up the power in his hands. Since that is the case, then he cannot blame me."

"Since one must be ruthless, Gao Yang is right. Now is the perfect time; Prince Rong will absolutely not expect that even though he is in such a miserable state, not only will I not seek justice for him, but I will actually make a move against him!"

After the words fell, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes also changed, and she nodded deeply.

Wu Zhao suddenly laughed again. "But having said that, this fellow Gao Yang is truly vicious; what a Nine-Turn Large Intestine!"

"He was able to come up with such a poisonous scheme; I am curious what other bad water is hidden in his belly!"

Wu Zhao couldn't help but click her tongue.

"..."

Duke of Ding's mansion.

Gao Tianlong and Gao Feng had also returned to the mansion and came to the chessboard to play.

Gao Tianlong looked at the pieces on the chessboard, and his eyebrows immediately lifted. "This chessboard seems to have been moved by someone."

"Was it you?"

Gao Feng was shocked in his heart, but he said with an unchanging expression, "Is that so? This child doesn't know either!"

Gao Tianlong's expression didn't change, only saying faintly, "If you don't want to reason with me, then I also know a thing or two about the art of throwing the chessboard."

Upon hearing this, Gao Feng's body trembled instantly.

He hurriedly said, "This child knows he was wrong; I shouldn't have moved a piece while in a superior position."

Saying this, he restored the moved piece to its original position.

Gao Tianlong frowned. "Hmm? Just one piece?"

"How come I see it as three pieces?"

While speaking, Gao Tianlong moved the pieces, and with the movement of these pieces, Gao Feng's originally excellent situation was instantly reversed.

Gao Feng's eyes widened, his lips slightly parted.

"Do you think it's wrong?" Gao Tianlong said displeasedly.

Gao Feng hurriedly shook his head. "This child remembered wrong; it was indeed three pieces."

At this time, Uncle Fu walked up.

"Old Duke, the Young Master has returned to the mansion, but he has already left in a hurry."

Upon hearing the news about Gao Yang, Gao Feng's eyebrows instantly twisted. "That rebellious son caused a great disaster, and he wants to leave the mansion again?"

"Confine him for ten days!"

Gao Feng instantly vented the anger he had received from Gao Tianlong.

He spoke with authority, his tone carrying a sense of certainty.

Uncle Fu said carefully, "Master, I'm afraid this won't be able to stop him."

Gao Feng looked at Uncle Fu, his voice instantly rising an octave.

"Can't stop him?"

"In all of Changan, since I have spoken to confine this rebellious son, no one else's words will work!"

Uncle Fu hunched his waist and said, "It is the Empress."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Feng's expression changed. "The Empress?"

"Not bad, the Empress seems to be angry and sent someone to summon the Young Master into the palace."

"Oh, then it's nothing."

Gao Feng feigned calmness and continued to place his pieces.

Gao Tianlong's eyes narrowed slightly. "What else did Yang'er do?"

He realized something was wrong.

If it were just an imperial decree, Uncle Fu wouldn't have made this trip specifically, so there must be something else.

Uncle Fu looked at Gao Tianlong and said, "Old Duke, it's natural for the Young Master to see the Empress, but the problem is that the Young Master brought some things."

"Like a hammer, a dagger, crossbow bolts, etc., and he also asked the Second Young Master for aphrodisiacs like 'Ecstasy Powder' and 'Powerful Spray King'."

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Feng instantly gasped.

"Could this rebellious son be thinking of forcing himself on the Empress? But if he were to force himself, the Ecstasy Powder would be enough; why bring the Powerful Spray King? Even if he takes down the Empress, how many heads will he have to be chopped off in the future?"

Uncle Fu was one of their own and absolutely loyal, so Gao Feng spoke directly.

Thinking of that scene, Gao Feng also felt it was explosive.

Gao Tianlong narrowed his eyes and said, "This is probably not for the Empress, but for someone else!"

"Could it be Minister Shangguan?" Gao Feng touched his chin.

Gao Tianlong glanced at Gao Feng and said gloomily, "I'm afraid it's Prince Rong."

"Prince Rong?"

Gao Feng was stunned, his expression strange.

Gao Tianlong really couldn't listen anymore and said directly.

"The Empress and Yang'er are probably about to make a move."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Gao Feng's face suddenly revealed a look of being moved; he was shocked.

"Hiss!"

"The Prince of the Blood was just miserably tricked by Gao Yang's Nine-Turn Intestines, having eaten excrement, and you want to make a move now?"

"Is this Prince Rong going to be too miserable?"

Gao Feng looked incredulous.

"Logically speaking, this should be Prince Rong entering the palace to ask the Empress to make a decision!"

Gao Tianlong's eyes were gloomy; he suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at the chessboard, and said faintly, "Others wouldn't be able to do this, but Yang'er would, wouldn't he?"

"But the Empress seems to have been led astray a bit too. If it really follows my guess, this Wu Long... can be considered truly miserable!"

Gao Tianlong sighed somewhat.

Gao Feng felt the same way.

It was indeed as Gao Tianlong said; in all of Da Qian, others wouldn't be able to do this, but his family's rebellious son could.

And he never tires of it!

When it comes to being ruthless and vicious, who can compare to him!

Gao Tianlong placed a piece and said gloomily, "Changan is about to undergo a shocking change!"

"But this might be the beginning of a brilliant era!"
