Chapter 1916

~8 min read 1,454 words

Inner hall.

The direct descendants of the Song family gathered together, the atmosphere extremely murderous.

"Although the Empress has not issued a clear edict, Gao Yang's resignation has become a foregone conclusion; where should my Song family... go from here?"

Song Li's voice rang out, his eyes sweeping over the core direct descendants of the Song family.

His voice was bitter, and even his hair had turned quite white.

To the side, Song Qingqing fell into silence.

She could know the indignation in Song Li's heart.

When Gao Yang was at his most down-and-out, the Song family kicked him while he was down and went to break off the engagement; who would have thought that the dormant dragon would soar into the abyss and shine on Da Qian!

In an instant.

The Song family became the shame of Da Qian and the joke of Changan.

When Gao Yang's power was at its peak, the Song family didn't get half a drop of rain!

Before Gao Yang was about to resign, the Song family bought this abstract painting at a sky-high price, wanting to ease the relationship, and Song Li himself asked to resign.

It is no exaggeration to say that the reverse operation was full.

"Father, does this still need to be said? Gao Yang publicly resigned, angered the Empress, and has already lost power!"

"Now... is the best time to clear up the relationship and draw a clear line!"

"Looking at the Empress, she lacks people; Cui Xinghe will surely take over, having the appearance of a Prime Minister; my Song family should bet on Cui Xinghe!"

As soon as Song Li finished speaking, Song Qingqing's elder brother, Song Wu, suddenly stood up and said quickly.

"Bet on Cui Xinghe?"

Song Li looked hesitant, looking at Song Qingqing who had been silent.

"Qingqing, you used to have feelings for the top scholar Cui, what do you think?"

Song Qingqing slowly raised her eyes, her voice cold: "Father, daughter doesn't want to choose top scholar Cui."

"Daughter thinks instead that this is the best time to repair the relationship with the Duke of the State Prefecture!"

"Daughter... chooses Gao Yang!"

"Choose Gao Yang?!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Swish, swish, swish!

All eyes instantly gathered on Song Qingqing, and even Song Li was full of surprise.

After breaking off the engagement with Gao Yang, Song Qingqing immediately went to find Cui Xinghe.

Now... how did it change?

"Qingqing, are you crazy? Gao Yang is now the target of public criticism, others are avoiding him, and my Song family is still sticking to him?" Song Wu looked unbelievable, raising his voice.

Song Qingqing was firm, a crazy determination surging in her eyes: "Precisely because of this, it is worth my Song family's all-out effort! Adding flowers to brocade is easy, sending charcoal in snow is difficult; Gao Yang dares to abandon the Empress like worn-out shoes; how many people in the world can have this courage and spirit? Although Cui Xinghe has talent, he cannot compare to Gao Yang, and even more cannot replace Gao Yang!"

"Daughter this time wants to bet the luck of the entire Song family! Even if Prime Minister Gao doesn't return to his original position and make up with the Empress, with his ability, he will surely rise again and stir up the nine heavens!"

"If it succeeds, not to mention that my Song family will resolve the past with the Duke of the State Prefecture, at the very least, it can greatly ease the relationship; if it fails, it will just be adding another joke to Changan!"

"A year ago, the Song family already made a mistake once and became the laughingstock of Changan; today, are we going to repeat the same mistake?"

Song Qingqing's voice was heavy, and she spoke heavily to Song Li.

For a time.

Song Li was silent.

What Song Qingqing said, wasn't it his own worry?

Tonight, he had to do a difficult problem called "Choice."

If he chose correctly, everything would be fine; if he chose wrongly, the entire Song family might be doomed forever!

"..."

Lu family.

Lu Yurong had just heard the news of Gao Yang's resignation and was about to rush out the door.

"Yurong, where are you going?"

Lu Zhen saw this and hurriedly asked.

"I'm going to the Duke of the State Prefecture!"

Lu Yurong didn't look back and was about to leave the mansion.

"Stop!"

Lu Zhen said angrily.

Lu Yurong looked back suddenly, carrying a bit of crying and deep disappointment, "Grandfather, could it be that even you want to follow the trend and kick someone while they are down?"

Lu Yurong was very disappointed and very sad.

"Yurong, is Grandfather that kind of person? It's just that at this time, the Empress's edict has not been issued, and Grandfather is in charge of the Left Wei Guard camp; how sensitive is my identity! At this critical moment, if Grandfather goes rashly, not only will it be of no benefit, but it will be disadvantageous to that kid Gao Yang!"

"Really?" Lu Yurong asked with suspicion in her eyes.

Lu Zhen's face turned black, his beard trembling with anger; he had dug out his heart, but Lu Yurong still didn't believe him.

He was very helpless toward this granddaughter in front of him, but also very heartbroken.

"I have spent my life in the army, when have I ever deceived you?"

"It's you, girl; why are you doing this? Dressing as a man to enter the army camp for that kid, blocking an arrow for that kid, almost losing your life, but what about that kid?"

"Now rumors are flying in Changan, and those damn storybooks and wild histories are being published one after another, arranging the affairs of you two, but that kid has shrunk like a quail!"

Lu Zhen was very dissatisfied, "He dares to break with the Empress, but doesn't dare to come and marry you; it can be seen that he has no you in his heart at all, so why do you worry for him?"

Lu Yurong heard this, lowered her head, and her long eyelashes cast faint shadows under her eyes.

She shook her head, carrying some memories, and said extremely seriously, "On the way back to Changancheng... his eyes, they can't lie."

"In his heart, there is me."

"If there is you in his heart, then why doesn't he come?" Lu Zhen stared, raising his voice.

"And between the Shangguan family and the Lu family, which is lighter and which is heavier, which is high and which is low? Who can enter the door in an eight-bearer sedan chair?"

For a time.

Lu Zhen was also silent.

This night, not only the Cui family, the Song family, and the Lu family were extremely sleepless, but the entire Changancheng was brightly lit, smelling the momentum of a coming storm.

One night passed.

The matter of Gao Yang's resignation not only did not show a trend of containment, but spread throughout the world with the momentum of a prairie fire!

Zhu Que Street.

A lame man was trembling, seemingly slow, but in fact not slow at all, walking toward the small courtyard.

When he stepped into the small courtyard.

He kicked the door open with one foot, the force of which was astonishing!

Inside the room.

Everyone stood up and asked.

"How is it? Prime Minister Gao resigned, is it true or false?" Someone asked excitedly.

The lame man stamped his foot heavily, his voice trembling, "Confirmed!"

"The news has already spread, it cannot be false; it is hard to imagine that the Da Qian Empress and the Living Yama have actually broken up!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, shocked.

Soon.

The leader, a scarred face, made a decision, and he immediately ordered!

"Since the news is true, immediately report to the Empress with the fastest speed!"

"Prime Minister Gao has resigned, Da Qian has lost its pillar; this is a heaven-sent opportunity for my Great Yan!"

As soon as the lame man left Changancheng, he immediately walked like flying, at a contact point outside the city, got on a warhorse, and ran wildly all the way.

On the other side.

At an inn, the shopkeeper came to the backyard, wrote a small note, and released the flying eagle in the cage.

The flying eagle flapped its wings and flew high, soaring in the nine heavens, tearing through the sky, and flew straight toward the outside of Changancheng.

A hundred miles away.

The flying eagle landed steadily, a woodcutter untied the note on the eagle's leg, and his expression changed greatly!
