Chapter 187: The Yin-Yang Pot, a divine artifact essential for poisoning and killing!

~8 min read 1,521 words

Gao Yang took out several small bottles from his robe; seeing these familiar small bottles, Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er's faces twitched violently.

If they weren't mistaken, one was an aphrodisiac, one was a laxative, and there were other drugs of unknown potency.

Although they had made up their minds to get rid of Prince Rong, they still couldn't help but feel a hint of sympathy in their hearts.

Prince Rong and his son, having offended this fellow, are truly miserable.

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and said, "This method of the Assistant Minister is good, but Prince Rong has been through many battles; unless you both drink it, and you drink it first, I'm afraid it will only startle the snake."

"Are you sure about killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own?"

She knew clearly that the power of these two drugs mixed together was not small.

Although Prince Rong was skilled in martial arts and known as the number one warrior of Da Qian, her preparations were not few either.

Although this method of poisoning to weaken Prince Rong's combat power was good, it was also easy to arouse Prince Rong's vigilance.

Wu Zhao felt that startling the snake because of this was very unwise.

Hearing Wu Zhao's words, Gao Yang smiled immediately.

This smile made Wu Zhao's delicate body tremble.

"I ask Your Majesty to send someone to have Prince Rong wait outside the hall for a while; since your subject has made a move, I will naturally not startle the snake."

"Your subject has always been cautious."

Wu Zhao first waved her hand, ordering her trusted aides to do as Gao Yang said.

Immediately after, she looked at Gao Yang. "How can you not startle the snake?"

According to her understanding of Gao Yang, she felt that Gao Yang was absolutely not the type of person to kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own.

Even if it were to make her, the Empress, drink it, he wouldn't even think about it.

Gao Yang chuckled and took out a finely textured wine pot from under his wide robe.

Shangguan Wan'er was shocked; first a hammer, then a dagger, and now even a wine pot was taken out from under his robe?

How many things are hidden under this robe?

"What is this?"

Wu Zhao asked curiously; from the outside, it didn't look much different from an ordinary wine pot in the palace.

Gao Yang held the wine pot and said proudly, "This object is called the Yin-Yang Pot; your subject also calls it the 'Conscience Pot'. It is something your subject specifically found craftsmen to carefully craft in the mansion over the past few days!"

"With so many things, if it weren't for Your Majesty's permission not to be searched, your subject really wouldn't have been able to bring them in."

Wu Zhao's interest was immediately piqued.

Her phoenix eyes looked at Gao Yang.

"What is the use of this?"

Gao Yang continued, "The principle of this Yin-Yang Pot is to use air pressure."

"It's complicated to explain, so your subject won't say it for now. Simply put, there are two layers of space inside this pot, and each layer has an air hole. As long as you block the corresponding air hole when pouring wine, the wine from that layer of space won't come out."

"Later, your subject will put the Ecstasy Powder and the Powerful Spray King into the upper layer of wine; Your Majesty can have Minister Shangguan block the lower air hole when pouring wine for Prince Rong, so the wine that flows out will be the poisoned wine."

"Conversely, when pouring wine for your subject, block the upper air hole, and the wine that flows out will be the non-poisoned wine!"

"This is a divine artifact for killing, looting, and drugging to escape drinking; you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and kill people invisibly. If it weren't for Your Majesty wanting a live captive, your subject would have directly put in arsenic, which would be even simpler."

In the Imperial Study, as Gao Yang's words fell.

Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er both gasped.

Is there such a strange wine pot in the world?

Wu Zhao even thought, if Gao Yang were to put aphrodisiacs in her drink, facing this wine pot, would she also fall for it?

In the future, one must absolutely not be alone with this child.

Too dirty!

Gao Yang even thought, if the upper layer were milk and the lower layer were tea, and neither air hole were blocked, what would come out would be "milk tea".

"Your subject will start operating now; Minister Shangguan must remember, otherwise if your subject drinks the poisoned wine, your subject will suffer a great ordeal!"

Saying this, Gao Yang started to poison it.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyelids trembled, and she didn't say a word, only keeping Gao Yang's words firmly in her heart.

In all of Changan, it seems only she, Shangguan Wan'er, tricked Gao Yang once and hasn't been retaliated against.

Besides that, Wang Zhong is still eating locusts with wine in Guanzhong and has become the "Piao Ji" General, and Prince Rong and his son are even more miserable.

Not only did they eat pig excrement, but now their entire family is about to be wiped out.

One should not get too close to a vicious person like Gao Yang, as it's easy to be tricked, but one should also absolutely not provoke him.

When the poisoning was finished, Gao Yang gave Wu Zhao an honest smile, then knelt down, looking like an ostrich.

Clearly, the play for Prince Rong had begun!

Wu Zhao took a deep breath, waved her hand to have Shangguan Wan'er take the wine pot away first, and her face returned to its calm, unruffled appearance.

"Summon Prince Rong to enter the hall for an audience!"

Wu Zhao's domineering voice rang out, and the small eunuch waiting outside the hall immediately went to convey the decree.

Soon, Prince Rong, looking majestic and wearing a python robe, strode into the Imperial Study.

When he saw Gao Yang kneeling on the ground, a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

A Prince against an Assistant Minister—the advantage is with me!

"Your subject Wu Long pays respects to Your Majesty; I implore Your Majesty to make a decision for your subject!"

Thinking of Mr. Chen's words, Wu Long immediately knelt down.

Wu Zhao's eyes were indifferent as she looked at Gao Yang. "Assistant Minister, I have tolerated you because of your talent, but this matter is truly too much."

"Knowing that Prince Rong is a judge, you actually concocted a dish of original-flavor Nine-Turn Large Intestine; where do you place the face of my Da Qian royal family, where do you place Prince Rong, and where do you place me!"

"Prince Rong is my imperial uncle; the same blood flows in my body and my imperial uncle's!"

Wu Zhao's voice carried anger.

Gao Yang's body trembled. "Your Majesty, your subject knows his crime; I implore Your Majesty to punish me!"

Wu Long didn't expect that this stinking brat Gao Yang would admit his crime so readily, and that the Empress would actually protect him so much.

A smile appeared on his face.

Mr. Chen is truly talented; he is indeed worthy of being called a poisonous strategist!

He had truly come to the right place this time.

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Long was moved, even having the illusion that it was his fault for being too much of a bastard by opposing Wu Zhao in the court.

Wu Zhao's brows carried anger, and she then looked at Wu Long. "Assistant Minister Gao made Imperial Uncle eat original-flavor Nine-Turn Large Intestine, so I will make him eat a plate, eat ten plates of original-flavor Nine-Turn Large Intestine, how about that?"

Gao Yang suddenly looked up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, no, this is too cruel to your subject."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao's voice suddenly rose.

"Too cruel? Then have you ever thought about how cruel your Nine-Turn Large Intestine poisonous scheme was to Prince Rong?"

"Prince Rong has been on the battlefield for my Da Qian and was injured; it is no exaggeration to say, without Prince Rong, where would the current prosperous age of Da Qian come from?"

"In his middle age, having been wise for a lifetime, you actually made him lose his integrity in his later years?"

Wu Zhao looked at Wu Long again and said repeatedly, "Imperial Uncle, rest assured; for such an insult to a Prince of Da Qian, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is unavoidable. I will definitely give Imperial Uncle a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"

"If ten plates of original-flavor Nine-Turn Large Intestine are not enough to vent your anger, then make it twenty plates!"

Wu Long bowed with his fists, full of emotion. "Your subject thanks Your Majesty for your holy grace; Your Majesty is truly the best to your subject!" ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
