Chapter 393: Beauty trap and handsome man trap

Imperial Palace.

Inside the main hall.

Outside the window, the night grew deeper, and the cold moonlight shrouded the entire palace.

Wu Zhao sat on the dragon throne, rubbing her eyebrows.

Da Qian won, but the troubles left behind were not few, and she had been busy until late at night.

This night, it was feared that it wouldn't be peaceful either.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to bestow this Princess of Great Chu upon Lord Gao?"

"Ordering him to use cruel torture, and letting his subordinates line up?"

Shangguan Wan'er held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help it, and asked.

Wu Zhao looked at Shangguan Wan'er with her phoenix eyes, and then nodded.

"In this battle, Gao Yang deserves the primary credit!"

"Although the Princess of Chu is of extraordinary value, I am not stingy toward meritorious officials."

"However, he didn't want her, fearing that the Chu royal family would come to assassinate him endlessly."

Wu Zhao said slowly.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

As if thinking of something, Wu Zhao stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the full moon in the sky.

She was speechless, her whole body shrouded in an aura of "no strangers allowed."

"Your Majesty, our Da Qian won a great victory, but you seem to have something on your mind?"

Shangguan Wan'er walked up, stood behind Wu Zhao, and asked.

She instinctively felt that Wu Zhao had something on her mind tonight.

Wu Zhao stood by the window and said softly, "I don't know why, but I feel a bit uncomfortable in my heart."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were full of astonishment.

In her impression, this was the first time she had heard Wu Zhao say such things.

"Your Majesty, what is wrong with you?"

Wu Zhao looked at Shangguan Wan'er, but then returned to normal, and her voice sounded in the hall.

"I am fine, just a bit emotional."

"I am an Emperor; accompanying the Emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Who in the world doesn't guard against me changing my face?"

"Even if I guarantee that I won't change my face, who would believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er understood immediately.

She looked at Wu Zhao with her eyes and couldn't help but say, "Is Your Majesty feeling uncomfortable because Lord Gao is hiding his true strength?"

Facing Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Zhao didn't hide it either, nodding directly.

"I know that Gao Yang deserves the primary credit for winning this battle, and I will never be stingy; in the entire Da Qian, as long as I have it and he wants it, I can bestow it upon him!"

"And I will definitely reuse him, giving him endless power, enough to shock the entire Da Qian!"

"I know this clearly, and I also know that he is a poison strategist and should hide his strength."

"But he hides too much."

"I have even developed a sense of fear..."

Wu Zhao's voice sounded, filled with conflict.

These words further confirmed the speculation in Shangguan Wan'er's heart.

Think carefully, Gao Yang has too many methods.

Poisonous schemes emerge one after another!

Gunpowder,

Grenades,

Alcohol,

The art of forging blades,

Each of these methods is enough to improve Da Qian's national strength.

But these were all forced out by the Chu army.

Da Qian benefited from this, and its military will receive unprecedented improvement.

But if there hadn't been this battle, would Gao Yang have brought them out?

How much more has he hidden? All of this is unknown.

Moreover, once I turn against him, who these are for is also unknown.

The point that makes Wu Zhao feel uncomfortable is: I treat you with sincerity, but you have eight hundred schemes.

But on the other hand, she herself feels it's normal.

Because she is the supreme Emperor of Da Qian; others might not understand the principle of accompanying the Emperor like accompanying a tiger, but Gao Yang must understand!

As a subject, who isn't afraid that after the Emperor squeezes out their value, she will directly execute their nine clans?

But she doesn't have the idea of "when the rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked," at least not yet.

As for the future, she herself doesn't dare to say, although she feels she wouldn't.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er said slowly: "Gao Yang's character is like this; it's not strange to have this behavior."

"If Your Majesty thinks too much, it will only make some villains secretly happy."

Wu Zhao suppressed the thoughts in her heart and looked at Shangguan Wan'er, "I know."

"I will still reuse him and reward him greatly, but I feel that since he is guarding against me like this, I must also guard against him."

"At the very least, I must keep an eye on him, so that one day he doesn't come up with something that directly blows me away!"

"I must also use a scheme on him!"

Wu Zhao's words echoed in the hall, making Shangguan Wan'er's expression strange.

Using a scheme in front of Gao Yang, from the bottom of her heart, she felt this behavior was very unreliable.

But she still asked curiously, "What scheme does Your Majesty want to use?"

A smile appeared on Wu Zhao's face, and she said word by word, "A beauty trap!"

"A beauty trap?"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were bright, and she curled her lips.

"Men in the world are divided into ten parts; as long as you extend two fingers and place them under their nose, if they are still breathing, nine parts are lustful, and one part is stubborn."

"I am going to use a beauty trap on him."

Shangguan Wan'er was shocked and said, "But... but isn't the sacrifice for Your Majesty too great?"

But Wu Zhao cast her phoenix eyes on Shangguan Wan'er.

"This beauty trap is naturally not for me to perform, but for you!"

"You are the person I trust the most, and you are born with extraordinary beauty; if you perform this scheme, I couldn't be more at ease!"

As soon as these words fell.

Shangguan Wan'er's body shook, her eyes full of disbelief.
