Chapter 1866

Chu Qingluan clearly noticed that Gao Yang's voice had changed, and his whole person exuded an indescribable sense of relief, as if a heavy burden of a thousand pounds had been lifted from his shoulders.

"What is it?"

Although Chu Qingluan already knew the answer, she still asked subconsciously.

Gao Yang raised his head, the corners of his mouth spreading out bit by bit, and said in the most relaxed tone possible: "This Prime Minister, whoever wants to be it can be it. I, Gao Yang, am not being an official anymore!"

"This deceitful court, the complex world situation, is very meaningless."

"Although it's a bit irrational and a bit stupid, one lives once, for a mere ten thousand days. If I'm stupid, then I'm stupid, because this is the answer from the bottom of my heart."

Chu Qingluan listened, feeling a pang of heartache, and she leaned gently into Gao Yang's embrace.

"No matter what decision you make, Junjun and I will be by your side. If you don't abandon me, I will live and die with you."

"As long as our family can be reunited, even if it's death, it's the greatest happiness."

"Whether poor or rich, as long as it's you, nothing else matters."

Chu Qingluan's lips curled up, carrying a sense of fearlessness: "Nothing worse than death, nothing more miserable than those days in the Great Chu palace. What is there to fear?"

Chu Qingluan's voice was very light, but it made Gao Yang feel a sense of peace.

He hugged Chu Qingluan, his large hands slowly exerting force, as if he wanted to knead Chu Qingluan into his body.

Gao Yang looked toward the direction of the palace outside the window, his eyes becoming firm bit by bit.

Originally, he was extremely conflicted in his heart and even planned to just endure it.

Just like what he said to Gao Tianlong.

Wu Zhao is, after all, an emperor. Suffering grievances before an emperor, acting like a dog, acting as a blade, is this shameful?

This is not shameful.

This is also justifiable.

But Gao Tianlong saw through everything.

He also knew about the four great gifts in Changancheng, and that Wu Zhao used the Xiongnu's power to force him.

He had grievances in his heart.

But Gao Tianlong knew him too well and knew he didn't have much awe for Wu Zhao, so he saw the clues yesterday.

But what about Chu Qingluan?

A year ago, they were the greatest opponents, only meeting on the battlefield. Later, Chu Qingluan became a prisoner and returned to Great Chu.

Chu Qingluan's understanding of him was limited to a few words in rumors.

Yet she understood him so well.

Wouldn't Wu Zhao know?

That day, Changancheng was in danger, he was almost running out of the city gate, then suddenly turned back, cursing the civil and military officials. Would Wu Zhao not know the reason?

He even had a sleeve arrow tied to his wrist for self-defense when entering the palace.

He was so afraid of death, would Wu Zhao not know?

She knew.

She clearly knew everything, yet she still did it.

Regardless of what her purpose was, or what her compensation was.

But at the very least, the moment she made this decision in her heart, it was unforgivable for a lifetime!

This is betrayal!

This is... not treating Gao Yang as a person, but as a blade in her hand!

But Gao Yang is a person, he is not a cold blade like iron, existing only to help her complete her endless hegemony, without feelings!

"Young Master, Lady Shangguan is here."

At this time.

Outside the door.

Chen Sheng's voice rang out.

Gao Yang looked at Chu Qingluan and said, "Wan'er should know about this. She has been with His Majesty since childhood and has deep feelings. I cannot help but consider her feelings."

Chu Qingluan looked indifferent and nodded.

The two walked out.

What came into Shangguan Wan'er's view was Gao Yang holding Chu Qingluan's hand.

Her phoenix eyes condensed, then she said, "I seem to have come at a bad time."

"No, Wan'er, you came at just the right time."

"I have something to tell you."

Shangguan Wan'er originally had anger in her heart; after all, Gao Yang had ordered someone to find her, but now he appeared in front of her holding Chu Qingluan's hand.

What is this?

A demonstration?

But Gao Yang's tone was not right, making Shangguan Wan'er's fair and beautiful face change as well.

"What's wrong?"

Shangguan Wan'er asked.

"I want to resign from office and return to the fields, and no longer ask about court politics." Gao Yang said calmly and directly.

Shangguan Wan'er's delicate body trembled.

But contrary to Gao Yang's expectations, Shangguan Wan'er raised her eyes and said, "If you want to resign, then resign. Whether it's with great fanfare or a secret memorial, as long as you've thought it through, I won't ask, and even less will I interfere."

Now, it was Gao Yang's turn to be shocked.

"Wan'er, don't you ask why?"

Gao Yang looked surprised.

Chu Qingluan also looked surprised.

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head, her teeth biting her red lips, "The first day Helian Cha's four gifts entered Changancheng, I advised His Majesty, I said this was Helian Cha's conspiracy..."

"Sorry, it's just that I couldn't say this at the beginning."

Instantly.

Gao Yang understood everything.

This damn life is indeed very damn!

He shook his head and smiled, "Wan'er, this has nothing to do with you."

"On the contrary, I feel unprecedentedly light all over."

He stretched out his hands, gave a big stretch, and said with a relaxed face.
