Chapter 851: Killing someone and then attacking their heart, Li Long

Upon hearing this, Qi Xian was completely stunned.

What?

He and the Empress Dowager are so perverted, and he's framing Gao Yang?

Wu Zhao actually said this!

His eyes suddenly turned toward Gao Yang, his gaze almost splitting with rage.

"Living Yama, I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations, you are simply worse than a beast!"

"You want to frame me for this too?"

Qi Xian shouted at Gao Yang, his teeth nearly ground to dust, his face flushed red. Is this something a human can do?

"Act!"

"Keep acting!"

"This official is full of integrity, I walk straight and sit upright, my actions are worthy of my conscience, I am worthy of heaven and earth above, and worthy of His Majesty and my conscience below. You may slander me as you please!"

"With this heart being bright, what more is there to say!"

Gao Yang flicked his sleeves violently, his words filled with righteous indignation.

Qi Xian widened his eyes, simply stunned by Gao Yang's shamelessness.

He had lived this long and seen so many people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless!

Wu Zhao also praised, "What a 'with this heart being bright, what more is there to say'!"

"These words are well said!"

"You, an adulterer, hiding in the Empress Dowager's bedchamber, yet you dare to slander Minister Gao for molesting the Empress Dowager. Do you really take me for a fool?"

"If it were truly as you say, and you could endure such humiliation, then are you still a man? You are worse than a eunuch!"

Wu Zhao spoke directly.

These words echoed in Qi Xian's heart like a critical strike.

He was worse than a eunuch!

He couldn't even find half a reason to refute it.

But clearly, the truth was that Gao Yang really did it!

Gao Yang looked at Qi Xian with a smile and said, "Slandering this official is nothing, I'm used to it. After all, there is enmity between us. Let me ask, how was the power of my poison gas?"

Once these words were out, it was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, making Qi Xian unable to endure it.

The various events in Changle Palace echoed in his mind like a revolving lantern.

This Gao Yang, he kills and then attacks the heart!

"Living Yama, I'll fight you to the death!"

Qi Xian's eyes split, his eye sockets red, and he charged directly at Gao Yang.

"Stubborn and unyielding, execute him on the spot!"

Wu Zhao's expression was cold, and she was truly angered.

The guards gathered like an iron shield, protecting Wu Zhao and Gao Yang.

"If you want to kill Minister Gao, you must first pass me, Li Long!"

"I have a blade named 'Protection', protecting the best Minister Gao in the whole world!"

Li Long held his broadsword, blocking beside Gao Yang, his expression murderous as he charged at Qi Xian.

In barely two rounds, Li Long hacked Qi Xian to the ground, leaving him at death's door. The dagger in his hand was kicked away, but his resentful eyes remained fixed on the direction where Gao Yang stood.

Seeing this, Gao Yang slowly walked out from among the guards, his cold gaze fixed on Qi Xian on the ground. There was not a hint of pity or emotion in his eyes, only endless coldness.

He was kidnapped by the Ruthless Sect, and while Li Long was at fault, the mastermind was the Empress Dowager!

He would definitely take revenge for this!

He, Gao Yang, was never a good person. He repaid grudges with grudges, cut weeds and removed roots—protecting what he wanted to protect was his style of doing things!

Qi Xian still trying to scheme against him before his death also made his heart turn cold.

For such a person, he would not only kill him but also attack his heart!

He squatted down and stared at Qi Xian.

"Where is Empress Dowager Xiao?"

"I will give you one chance."

Qi Xian's eyes were filled with resentment, and he used all his strength to spit at Gao Yang.

"Audacious!"

Li Long spoke first.

Gao Yang raised his hand to stop him.

Gao Yang wiped his face, very calmly, "It doesn't matter. A cunning rabbit has three burrows; it doesn't matter that she escaped through a tunnel."

"But hatred is a seed. She will definitely come to take revenge on me. No matter where she flees to the ends of the earth, I will take revenge. In two lifetimes, I have never suffered such a big loss. You spitting at me is actually quite good, although I have never felt guilty in my conscience when cutting weeds and removing roots."

Once these words were out.

Qi Xian's expression changed abruptly. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth as he stared fixedly at Gao Yang, his emotions suddenly becoming agitated.

"For all these years, you've been sneaking around with Xiao Qing; it must have been hard on you. The Eleventh Imperial Prince probably only dared to watch from afar and never dared to get close, right?"

Gao Yang said with a sigh, "The cruelest thing in the world is for a father and son to be biological, yet only be able to look at each other from afar without being able to acknowledge one another. But who told me to be a kind-hearted person?"

"Rest assured, I will see this through to the end. Today, I will certainly send you father and son to be reunited."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xian's eyes turned blood-red. He reached out, clutching Gao Yang's trouser leg tightly, his lips buzzing.

But he truly had no strength left. He was hanging on by a single breath, unable to even curse.

"I know you are very moved, but you don't need to thank me. Although Xiao Qing is a fake Empress Dowager, she still has her charm and is quite moist. This is what I should do."

Gao Yang whispered to Qi Xian.

Pfft!

Upon hearing these words, Qi Xian vomited blood and died.

Li Long watched from afar, his body trembling.

What did Gao Yang say to make someone vomit blood in anger again?

Today, Gao Yang's ruthlessness and actions made him very panicked!

Soon, Gao Yang returned to Wu Zhao's side.

Wu Zhao wore a cold expression and said to Gao Yang, "The guards are searching the entire Changle Palace. Xiao Qing must have sensed something was wrong in advance and escaped through the tunnel."

"Searching will take some time!"

Gao Yang sighed.

"Alas!"

"Your Majesty, this is all the fault of your subject, for making the Empress Dowager alert. But I had no choice. Even if Xiao Qing is a fake Empress Dowager, I cannot be too presumptuous, because this is out of respect for Your Majesty. Although I have a loose tongue on weekdays, I still have the necessary sense of propriety and crucial restraint!"

"Not to mention that even setting aside status, I cannot act as recklessly as before. I ask for Your Majesty's punishment!"

Wu Zhao's gaze warmed, and she patted Gao Yang's shoulder, comforting him.

"You have shouldered too many risks for me, and even when this person was on the verge of death, he still wanted to slander you. How could I punish you!"

"In this matter, you are not only without fault, but on the contrary, you have merit!"

Wu Zhao said.

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes were also staring straight at Gao Yang.

"Your Majesty, your subject is too young, and I fear I cannot handle the position of Prime Minister. This will not do."

Wu Zhao: "..."

"Let's put this aside for now. Xiao Qing's tunnel can't lead very far. Should I seal the palace and search carefully?" ===== CHAPTER 853 =====
