Chapter 1909

~5 min read 943 words

Wu Zhao was in a rage, that was very normal, smashing things was also very normal, but what was with these tear stains at the corners of her eyes?

These tear stains were definitely not out of monarch-subject duty!

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong.

Zhang Ping was more cautious, so he subtly poked Zhang Shou in the waist, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Zhang Shou felt the pain, and they looked at each other, understanding their eldest brother's meaning, thinking he was talking about a great opportunity and urging him to go up.

Zhang Shou hurriedly stood up, his face full of righteous indignation, and said, "Your Majesty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has long had secret reports; everyone in Changancheng says that Gao Yang is arrogant because of favor, and has no respect for his monarch!"

"This subject originally didn't believe it, but today in the Jin Luan Hall, this fellow actually publicly resigned, treating Your Majesty's great favor like dirt; his wolfish ambition is clearly revealed, Your Majesty!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Wu Zhao slowly raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Shou, whose mouth was like a machine gun.

Those phoenix eyes were extremely cold, carrying the chill of a ten-thousand-year iceberg.

This look made Zhang Ping, who was to the side, realize something was wrong, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He took a step back and poked Zhang Shou in the waist again very subtly, signaling him not to speak anymore.

Zhang Shou's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if his waist was about to be poked to waste!

But,

Understood!

Zhang Shou continued, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gao is so arrogant, treating Your Majesty's majesty as nothing; why not deal with him?"

"As long as Your Majesty gives the order, the two of us brothers will deal with him fiercely!"

"For the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigating cases, Your Majesty, you can rest assured!"

Zhang Ping was shocked, his whole person numb.

You bastard, why are you dragging me into this?

Zhang Ping looked at Wu Zhao, only to see Wu Zhao slowly stand up, those cold phoenix eyes staring straight at Zhang Shou.

She walked down the imperial steps step by step until she reached the front of the Zhang brothers.

"What did you just say?"

Wu Zhao spoke coldly, her voice carrying an undisguised killing intent.

Zhang Ping poked Zhang Shou's waist frantically.

Zhang Shou had Wu Zhao's cold gaze in front and his elder brother's fierce poking in the back.

At this moment, he also realized something was wrong.

This killing intent, although thick, didn't seem to be directed at Prime Minister Gao, but rather at himself...

He trembled, not daring to make a sound.

Wu Zhao raised her voice and said extremely coldly, "I am asking you, who did you just say to deal with?"

No matter how unbearable Gao Yang was, he was still hers; in the entire Da Qian world, only she could decide his life or death!

Even if he were a pile of shit, it wasn't someone else's turn to step on him!

Zhang Shou was startled.

"I am asking you, deal with whom? Are you deaf?" Wu Zhao pressed step by step, getting closer and closer.

Zhang Shou's legs trembled, almost peeing his pants.

But he didn't dare not answer, so he could only say with a tied tongue: "Deal... deal with Prime Minister Gao!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Cold light shot from Wu Zhao's eyes, and using almost all her strength, she fiercely slapped Zhang Shou with a loud slap!

Slap!

The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the quiet Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao's voice was hoarse, extremely cold, carrying an unextinguished anger and an unquestionable, almost paranoid possessiveness.

"Presumptuous!"

"My family affairs, is it your turn to interfere?!"

Zhang Shou covered his slapped face, his face full of disbelief.

He... he was hit?

He was clearly speaking for Wu Zhao, right? Wasn't it that... Gao Yang humiliated Wu Zhao?

Why was he the one hit?

And... family affairs?

How were these Wu Zhao's family affairs?

If we are talking about family affairs, the affairs between him and Wu Zhao should be family affairs, right? Wu Zhao's mother was a person from his Zhang family!

But Zhang Shou didn't dare to make a sound.

Because he felt a sky-high killing intent surrounding him.

If he dared to touch Wu Zhao's bad luck again, Wu Zhao would really kill him!

"Get out!"

"If you dare to discuss Prime Minister Gao again... I will skin you!"

Wu Zhao swept her gaze toward the Zhang brothers and spoke coldly.

The Zhang brothers, full of fear, scrambled out in a sorry state.

After the two left, Wu Zhao looked down at her numb palm and fell into a moment of silence.

But in an instant, this silence was drowned out by deeper exhaustion and chaos.

She was so tired.

As if she couldn't stand steadily, having lost all her strength.

Xiaoyuan was quick-eyed and fast-handed, hurriedly stepping forward to support Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao turned her head and looked at Xiaoyuan; her stunningly beautiful face had no color.

She smiled miserably and said.

"Xiaoyuan, I am so tired; help me... go back to the palace to rest; I... really want to sleep."

This voice was as light as a thread, carrying endless weariness and exhaustion.

Xiaoyuan didn't know when, but she was already covered in tears.

"This servant will help you back to the palace; sleep... sleep will always pass." Her voice trembled slightly, as if even she couldn't convince herself.

"..."
