Chapter 1953

In her phoenix eyes, there was nothing but disbelief!

Zhang Ping and Zhang Shou were her people; this news was far too easy to verify.

A lie like this had no meaning.

Therefore, Gao Changwen really did leave the Duke of Dingguo's residence in the middle of last night, carrying a stack of bamboo paper, and went to the west of Changancheng to meet a Han Lin scholar named Wang Sheng, where the two stayed alone for a quarter of an hour.

Early this morning, the eruption from the Han Lin Academy began.

All of this was too coincidental.

One coincidence is a coincidence, but could these successive coincidences all be coincidences?

Why would Gao Changwen, perfectly fine, sneak out of the residence in the middle of the night and go to meet a Han Lin scholar alone?

He didn't go early, he didn't go late, but chose the night before the petition, and at the hour of the Rat at that.

Today, the first to erupt was the Han Lin Academy!

And he was very clear about Gao Yang's capabilities.

Inciting people's hearts was as simple for him as eating or drinking.

The words of the Zhang brothers burrowed like venomous snakes into her heart, which was already occupied by rage and grievance.

Gao Yang's resolute departing back overlapped with the "carefully planned" scene of the palace siege before her eyes, causing her to feel a heart-piercing, bone-chilling agony and humiliation at being fooled and betrayed by someone she held closest and trusted most!

At this moment, rage gradually drowned out Wu Zhao's reason.

Outside the Chengtian Gate.

The clamor of voices petitioning for Gao Yang grew louder and louder!

"Report!"

"Your Majesty! The commoners and scholars gathered outside the Chengtian Gate have exceeded ten thousand! The crowd is surging, the clamor is heaven-shaking; Commandant Li fears he cannot hold them for long. Please, Your Majesty, make a swift decision!"

An Imperial Guard stepped forward and said in a loud voice.
