Chapter 2006

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er was full of shame and annoyance.

What was all this?

She couldn't care about the conflict in her heart and hurriedly interrupted, "Gao Yang! Am I, Shangguan Wan'er, that kind of unbearable person? What I did to let you down was telling Wang Xiao the speculation that Great Qian might be facing the Little Ice Age!"

"Wang Xiao knows about this and will definitely report it to Her Majesty! But you and Her Majesty have broken off, and things are so stiff. I shouldn't have meddled, but thinking of the cruelty of the Little Ice Age, thinking of the common people, and the past friendship with Her Majesty, I really couldn't help it..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang's brows locked tightly.

Shangguan Wan'er caught a glimpse of Gao Yang's expression, and her heart hung even higher.

"If you want to beat or punish me, Wan'er has nothing to say! I only ask you... don't take it to heart. But if you are really hurt, it's not your fault; I brought it on myself."

Gao Yang looked at Shangguan Wan'er, was silent for a few seconds, and finally turned it into a helpless sigh, "Sigh!"

"Wan'er, you have really given your husband a big problem!"

"I resigned in public and even fought to the death with Her Majesty in the Jin Luandian, just to cut off everything and not give Her Majesty any chance to keep me. Now that I have finally escaped, if this news of the Little Ice Age reaches Her Majesty's ears, how can she not suspect that it was my instruction? If there is another misunderstanding..."

Speaking of this, Gao Yang sighed again.

"Sigh!"

"Trouble!"

"A heaven-sized trouble!"

"But I know you have always been kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the common people suffer, so how could I bear to blame you?"

Hearing Gao Yang's understanding, Shangguan Wan'er felt even more guilty, feeling more and more that she had made things difficult for Gao Yang.

"Husband, I know I was wrong. I made things difficult for you this time, but there won't be a next time."

"Wan'er, if you continue to feel guilty, someone's heart will be blooming with joy!" Chu Qingluan couldn't listen anymore, and her cold voice sounded.

"Ah?"

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

She looked at Chu Qingluan with a puzzled face.

Gao Yang's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly reprimanded, "Qingluan, don't talk nonsense here!"

Chu Qingluan smiled, ignoring the threat in Gao Yang's eyes, and said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, you are the one who is confused; you have been deceived by him."

"He deliberately put on a difficult look just to make you feel guilty! What kind of difficult thing is it to reveal the Little Ice Age to Wang Xiao and have it reach Her Majesty's ears?"

"Before he broke off, didn't he write the Three Strategies of Hexi, the strategy of mutual trade, and even offered cement that he could have completely kept to himself? Which one didn't he give? Even setting all this aside, when Wang Xiao went back to present the scheme, he said it was confidential, so it was confidential?"

"Once these two poisonous schemes are released, how could Her Majesty not know the source? Your Little Ice Age is nothing at all!"

Speaking of this, Chu Qingluan raised her lips and looked at Gao Yang, "Someone deliberately pretended to be in a difficult position so that he could logically ask you for compensation, Wan'er."

"For example, I happened to hear this morning that someone ordered Chen Sheng to use heavy gold to take over the 'Jinxiu Workshop' in Chang'an, wanting to develop a rare material called 'silk stockings.' Someone was also muttering that Wan'er's jade legs are slender, and if she wore silk stockings of various colors, it would definitely be... tsk tsk..."

After hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er was stunned, then her pretty face flushed red, and she was both ashamed and angry, her beautiful eyes wide, "Gao! Yang!"

"You actually used this art of attacking the heart on me! Despicable! Shameless! Lewd!"

Gao Yang was numb.

He hurriedly explained, "Wan'er, don't listen to Qingluan's nonsense! This stuff about slender jade legs and wearing silk stockings of various colors is purely groundless nonsense!"

"It's just that the weather is getting colder and colder. If it really is the Little Ice Age, I'm afraid it will get colder and colder in the future. Your husband is worried about you, so I want to develop new black thermal silk stockings. After all, adding silk when it's cold is to protect your legs!"

"This is a great feat that benefits the country and the people, and benefits women all over the world!"

Gao Yang looked innocent and heartbroken.

But Shangguan Wan'er didn't believe a word of it and took Chu Qingluan's hand: "Sister Qingluan, will you accompany me to pack my luggage?"

"Okay!"

Chu Qingluan responded and gave Gao Yang a meaningful look.

Gao Yang looked at their backs and sighed with regret, "Sigh! That girl Qingluan is specifically ruining my good deeds. If Wan'er added silk when it was cold, wouldn't that be beautiful?"

Just as he was sighing and about to leave.

Behind him, a powerful hand firmly grabbed his sleeve.

Gao Yang looked back and saw Gao Changwen looking tragic and vicissitudinous, his eyes burning as he stared straight at him.

"Brother! This silk..."

"Get lost!"

Gao Changwen: "(╥﹏╥)"

"..."

Chang'an City.

Dusk.

Haze shrouded the city, and rumors spread like a plague.

The three kingdoms of Yan, Chu, and Qi offering their entire nations to trade for Gao Yang was a great humiliation for the people of Chang'an!

He was clearly a capable official of Great Qian, yet he resigned for no reason, and the diplomatic mission of the three kingdoms was willing to pay a heaven-sized price to trade for him.

For ordinary people, let alone one hundred thousand taels of gold, even one hundred taels of silver was an astronomical sum.
