Chapter 2014

In the Imperial Study, there was a deathly silence.

No one noticed that on the dragon throne, the Great Qian Empress, who ruled the world, was using all her strength to suppress the surging emotions in her heart!

"A good 'Sorrow of Luo Cheng'! A good 'Treating Them the Same Way They Treat Others'!"

Wu Zhao's cold voice broke the silence, echoing in the hall with unconcealable praise, "Marquis of Loyalty and Valor's two strategies are well-versed in the dangers of the human heart and point directly at the lifeline of the enemy country. I am very satisfied!"

"Immediately promote him to Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and bestow one thousand taels of gold and ten hu of pearls! The two strategies presented should be coordinated by the Ministry of War and the Embroidered Uniform Guard immediately, and must be made to exert the greatest effect, letting the Yan Kingdom, the culprit, taste the flavor of this maggot on the bone!"

"This subordinate thanks Your Majesty for your great grace!"

Wang Xiao knelt down excitedly.

He never expected that just by presenting two strategies, he would be promoted again in a short time to become the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War!

This is the power of a poisonous scholar!

Isn't this more fun than fighting a war?

For a time.

The hundred officials were also shocked.

How old is Wang Xiao? Not long ago he was made a Marquis, and now he has obtained a real power position like the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

The future... is limitless!

Even if Cui Xinghe was unwilling, he had to admit that these two strategies were so poisonous and tricky that they were enough to make the Yan Kingdom court restless.

Wang Zhong was frozen in place, his brain buzzing.

His son... is now the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War? He relied on poisonous schemes to get promoted? And... let himself go eat shit and lick latrines?

Grass!

Grass!

This bastard!

"Court dismissed!"

Wu Zhao stood up abruptly, the bright yellow dragon robe brushing over the imperial steps, carrying unquestionable majesty.

The hundred officials shouted long live, with different thoughts.

Supported by Xiao Yuan, Wu Zhao walked slowly toward the back hall.

Her steps seemed steady, but her heart was churning. That familiar, heart-palpitating sense of calculation... it was too similar!

She would never recognize it wrong!

"Xiao Yuan."

Wu Zhao's voice was extremely low, but there was an unconcealable urgency on her face.

"This servant is here."

"Go check immediately. I want to know where Wang Xiao went today. Did he leave Chang'an City? If so, where did he go? Who did he see? Check it clearly for me, and don't let go of even a trace!"

Around Ping'an Manor, there were Embroidered Uniform Guards she had deployed.

These Embroidered Uniform Guards only took orders from her. One was nominal surveillance, not letting Gao Yang leave Great Qian, and the other was protection.

If Wang Xiao really went to see Gao Yang, this news would be very easy to check.

She would soon know the answer.

An answer she had long firmly believed in her heart!
