Chapter 560

Upon hearing this, a look of interest flashed across Empress Dowager Xiao's beautiful face.

She stepped out with her slender jade legs, her crystal-clear jade feet stepping on the carpet-covered ground, walked toward the table in the center of the room, and then said faintly.

"If I do as you say and can win over this Gao Yang to work for me, what percentage of success do you think I have?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanji's heart was shocked.

But he quickly said, "Your subject thinks there is a ninety percent chance!"

"Ninety percent?"

"So high?"

Empress Dowager Xiao looked surprised.

The great cause she spoke of was not an ordinary matter.

It was supporting a new emperor, ruling from behind the curtain, and even... ascending to the throne!

But the difficulty of this matter was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven, yet Xu Xuanji said that if assisted by Gao Yang, there would be a ninety percent chance. How could this not shock Empress Dowager Xiao?

Seeing this, Xu Xuanji continued, "An assassination broke out in Changancheng last night. Has the Empress Dowager heard of it?"

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and said, "That Gao Yang acts arrogantly; it is not strange that he was assassinated."

"But I think it is not easy to kill him."

Xu Xuanji shook his head, "Empress Dowager, you are wrong. Minister Gao is safe and sound; on the contrary, Cui Xinghe encountered an assassination. If it weren't for the protection of the Empress's Imperial Guards, I'm afraid he would have lost his life."

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao's phoenix eyes were surprised.

"Cui Xinghe was assassinated?"

Seeing this, Xu Xuanji also told his guess.

"This person is truly sinister!"

"He enjoys the fame, and Cui Xinghe takes the retaliation!"

"Interesting!"

Empress Dowager Xiao's expression moved, revealing a look of interest.

It had been a long time since she had heard of such an interesting person.

Xu Xuanji secretly glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao's two slender, beautiful legs exposed outside, then cupped his hands and said, "Although Gao Yang's poisonous schemes are unparalleled, in the court, he has repeatedly peeked at the Empress. Your subject saw it clearly!"

"This person is extremely lustful. The Empress Dowager might be able to enter the trap yourself and use this to threaten Gao Yang!"

"After the matter is accomplished, then slaughter him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Empress Dowager Xiao's cold eyes looked directly at Xu Xuanji.

This gaze made a layer of fine cold sweat instantly break out on Xu Xuanji's back!

But the next second, he felt the gaze that was like a thorn on his back disappear from his body, and then a voice rang out.

"I will deal with this Gao Yang myself."

"You just need to do what I told you. Taking advantage of the Chu Kingdom mission being here, advance the plan. Even if it fails, it will be good to let them take the blame. I will notify you in advance. Once it succeeds, you immediately bring the hundred officials into the palace!"

"By then, supporting the Eleventh Prince to ascend the throne, you, Xu Xuanji, will have the merit of supporting the dragon!"

"..."

Dingguo Duke Prefecture.

At the main gate.

Zhao Yuheng got up early, took Mu Mu Xue Yao and a few personal guards, and as soon as he heard the morning court session ended, he headed toward the Dingguo Duke Prefecture.

Zhao Yuheng's face was full of absolute confidence.

He spent a lot of money to buy Gao Yang's intelligence, and even sent people to Linjiang City specifically. He could almost conclude that Gao Yang was greedy for money and lustful, and there were even signs of receiving gifts in Linjiang City. This trip would surely be able to make him work for him!

Zhao Yuheng gave Mu Mu Xue Yao a confident look, and Mu Mu Xue Yao also walked toward the main gate and knocked on the door of the Dingguo Duke Prefecture.

"Please report that the Zhao Kingdom's eldest prince has come to visit Minister Gao!"

Mu Mu Xue Yao took a deep breath. When she heard about some of the things Gao Yang had done and some of the poisonous schemes he had proposed, she felt the sky had collapsed. This trip must be careful; otherwise, once exposed, what would greet her would be worse than death!

Soon, a hearty voice rang out.

"The eldest prince has visited; I have failed to welcome you from afar, please do not blame me!"

Gao Yang was wearing casual clothes and walked out with big strides.

A smile was on his face, and he walked straight toward Zhao Yuheng.

Zhao Yuheng felt quite flattered!

Great Qian's number one living Yama is actually so enthusiastic?

"Minister Gao is too polite!" Zhao Yuheng hurriedly said.

Gao Yang reached out his hand and said, "Eldest prince, let's talk inside."

Seeing this, Zhao Yuheng also walked in.

Soon, Gao Yang and Zhao Yuheng sat down in the courtyard.

"Lü Luo, serve tea!"

Gao Yang said.

This attitude made Zhao Yuheng feel more and more relaxed in his heart.
