Chapter 1864

~7 min read 1,320 words

In the large courtyard, there was silence.

Chu Qingluan's cold voice was like a poisoned blade, stabbing straight into Gao Yang's heart, and even twisting it forcefully inside.

This pain was a bit heart-piercing!

Gao Yang looked at Chu Qingluan's perfect face and listened to these words, and he laughed.

That smile carried a touch of desolation and a hint of sarcasm.

Chu Qingluan's words stabbed his heart with every word. Even if he wanted to refute, he couldn't refute a single word.

After holding it in for a long time, when the words reached his lips, Gao Yang only said one sentence, "The part about viewing His Majesty as the true love in my heart is wrong."

After hearing this, Chu Qingluan was stunned for a moment.

But she was noncommittal, neither refuting nor agreeing.

Everyone has a scale in their heart, and she believed in her own intuition.

"Since things have reached this point, Hu... Husband, what do you intend to do?"

Although Chu Qingluan felt extremely awkward, she still asked.

Her pair of eyes stared fixedly at Gao Yang.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gao Yang's decision affected the overall situation of the world.

Wu Zhao is the Lord of Da Qian, the Son of Heaven. She learned the art of emperors from a young age, and checking and balancing is a skill engraved in her bones.

In her view, this matter might just be a very ordinary thing.

Although she chilled Gao Yang's heart, she also trusted Gao Yang enough.

The achievements Gao Yang established were all transformed into solid rewards!

It's just that Gao Yang viewed Wu Zhao as a friend, while Wu Zhao viewed problems from the perspective of an emperor.

In Chu Qingluan's heart, this was an unclear mess of an account.

All of this, in the end, depended on what Gao Yang thought.

Gao Yang suddenly stood up and smiled at Chu Qingluan, "Qingluan, follow me into the room, I'll show you a treasure!"

After finishing, Gao Yang stepped toward the room.

"A treasure?"

Chu Qingluan looked strange, her face slightly red.

She gritted her teeth and still lifted her skirt and walked into the room.

"Qingluan, close the door well." Gao Yang stood in front of the bed and continued.

The expression on Chu Qingluan's face became increasingly strange, but she still extended her slender, jade-like hand and closed the door.

She took a deep breath, her eyelashes trembling as she said, "Gao Yang, it's not very good in broad daylight, is it?"

Gao Yang was stunned, "What's not good about this? We are looking at a treasure in the room, not in public!"

"Fine! Then take off your pants."

Chu Qingluan bit her silver teeth, as if she were going all out, and her pair of slender, jade-like hands were also placed on the skirt at her waist.

"Take off my pants? Take off what pants?"

Gao Yang's gaze was teasing, and the pent-up frustration in his heart instantly dissipated by more than half.

Chu Qingluan was stunned.

Then she also came back to her senses, and her face instantly turned crimson.

"Gao Yang, I thought you wanted to relieve the pressure in your heart, you're playing with me!"

Chu Qingluan was blushing, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and never come out again.

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Once you think it through, you won't be conflicted anymore."

"This treasure is a real treasure!"

Gao Yang squatted down, dragged a large box from under the bed, and said to Chu Qingluan.

"Qingluan, come open it and see."

Chu Qingluan walked forward, first glanced at Gao Yang, then opened the box, revealing the things inside.

Almost in an instant.

Chu Qingluan's complexion changed, her face full of shock, and she couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss!"

As the Second Princess of Great Chu, she was accustomed to the world's rarities, but after witnessing the things in the box, she still couldn't help but lose her composure.

Just because these things were too precious!

A box of colored glaze, under the illumination of the sunlight, was dazzling and shining brilliantly.

Colored glaze in the world is rare; a piece of colored glaze the size of a palm is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it's priceless!

You must know that the biggest reason the Chu Emperor released the people was that Gao Yang gave a piece of colored glaze!

But Gao Yang here actually had a whole box?

Isn't this colored glaze extremely precious?

Chu Qingluan's expression was shocked.

The reason for the intense reunion last night was partly because of this colored glaze.

Such a rare treasure, yet Gao Yang, in order to save her and Junjun, gave it to the Chu Emperor without hesitation!

As a result, Gao Yang had a whole box?

Gao Yang had such insight that as soon as he saw Chu Qingluan's expression, he understood what Chu Qingluan was thinking.

He smiled and said, "As long as I want, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion's warehouse can be filled with colored glaze, and even every commoner in the world can afford to use colored glaze."

Chu Qingluan's mouth twitched.

Good fellow, she directly called him a good fellow.

It turned out it wasn't one piece, and not just a full box, but a whole warehouse, and every commoner in the world could afford to use colored glaze.

And she, was exchanged back from the Chu Emperor's hands by Gao Yang with one piece of colored glaze.

And, in her gratitude...

But the next second.

Gao Yang's voice followed, "But the reason this colored glaze can be so abundant, and even reach a point where it's worthless, is because of you and Junjun."

"This colored glaze was born because of you!"

Hum!

Instantly.

Chu Qingluan's eyes changed, her face full of disbelief.

"Because of me?"

Gao Yang's eyes were deep, and he said, "When the Eldest Princess's letter reached the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, I ordered the craftsmen in the mansion to use secret methods to make colored glaze."

"According to my vision, there is no transaction in the world that cannot be solved by money. If there is, it's because there isn't enough money!"

Chu Qingluan understood everything, "So at first, you were thinking of using colored glaze to lure the Emperor Father, to stir up the greed in the Emperor Father's heart, forcing him to release the people?"

"Correct, one piece of colored glaze wasn't enough, then two, ten, one hundred!"

"Even the Chu Emperor couldn't resist such temptation! Because colored glaze is too scarce in the world right now."

"But Helian Cha captured Second Uncle and sent four great gifts. His Majesty wanted to use the Xiongnu's hand to force me to send troops."

When Gao Yang said this, his voice was silent for a while.

Chu Qingluan knew all the later things, and understood them all.

Gao Yang's tone was very relaxed, and his eyes returned to being as calm as an ancient well.

He continued: "You know everything that happened later, but what you don't know is that the second battle of Hexi was actually a spur-of-the-moment decision. At that time, at Yanmen Pass, I ordered someone to send a memorial to Changancheng by fast horse."

Chu Qingluan's eyes suddenly condensed.

"What was written in that memorial?"

Gao Yang laughed, "I advised His Majesty to raid Hexi again. I proposed crossing the Sudan Desert and noted that this area is known as a forbidden zone for the living."

"In the memorial, I didn't mention using Xiongnu captives as guides, didn't say camels smell water, didn't say Populus euphratica pointing west, and didn't say using copper plates to predict sandstorms."

"I have my own confidence in crossing the Sudan Desert, but I wanted to see His Majesty's attitude even more."
