Chapter 743

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

"I don't hope that such talents appear in the seven kingdoms." Wu Zhao said.

"Heroes of the world are like crucian carp crossing the river. Now the world is not yet in chaos, but once it is, talents of the chaotic times will emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain."

"But as long as I am here, it's not a big problem."

Gao Yang said faintly. In other aspects, he dared not speak too fully, but in terms of poison strategies, he had absolute certainty!

This was his absolute domain!

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao also nodded, feeling very reassured.

On this point, she did not doubt Gao Yang's ability at all.

Then, the two chatted casually about some other things.

Suddenly, Wu Zhao thought of the warning Gao Yang gave after he left last time, asking her to strengthen the guards within the imperial palace and use the Western Depot to monitor the entire Changancheng.

She said to Gao Yang, "Minister Gao, what did you mean by the words you said to me before you left last time?"

"Why did you want me to monitor Changancheng and strengthen the guards? I can ignore others' predictions, but I must take your words to heart. Because of what is all this?"

Once these words were out.

Gao Yang's expression changed, but thinking about it, especially Wu Zhao's current attitude toward him, he still spoke.

"I implore Your Majesty to dismiss those around us."

Wu Zhao's eyes narrowed, and then she waved her hand.

"Everyone leave!"

"Without my order, no one is allowed to approach!"

Soon, the palace maids around Wu Zhao all retreated, and the imperial guards also stood guard ten meters away.

In the middle of the large Imperial Garden, only Wu Zhao, Gao Yang, and Shangguan Wan'er remained.

"Now you can speak; between you and me, you can speak directly." Wu Zhao said to Gao Yang, her face serious.

She had a premonition that what Gao Yang was about to say was absolutely extraordinary.

Gao Yang met Wu Zhao's gaze and said directly, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, how did the Late Emperor pass away?"

Once these words were out, Wu Zhao's expression changed, her whole body permeated with a full sense of majesty, and a terrifying aura burst forth!

"The Late Emperor's body was frail, and he passed away due to illness; this is known to the whole country! Minister Gao, what do you mean by this?"

Gao Yang looked directly into Wu Zhao's eyes and said slowly: "What if I said that there might be doubts about the Late Emperor's passing?"
