Chapter 857

"If I miss tonight, I fear I will never see her again in this life."

Thinking of Chu Qingluan's stunning face and that arrogance of being a Great Chu princess, he felt a bit moved, but thinking of Shangguan Wan'er, he shook his head.

"Forget it, the last day, it's fine not to have it."

Gao Tianlong was a bit shocked.

Gao Feng couldn't help but size up Gao Yang, his eyes filled with surprise.

Seeing these two gazes, Gao Yang couldn't hold it anymore. He couldn't help but say in a high voice, "Grandfather, Father, grandson is really not that kind of lustful person. You mostly have some misunderstandings about me."

Gao Tianlong stroked his beard and then said, "But what if I said that this was Minister Shangguan who sent someone to pass the word, telling you that you could go and see her?"

Hum!

Gao Yang's tiger body shook immediately.

Shangguan Wan'er?

In his mind, Shangguan Wan'er's face, dressed in green and looking cold and aloof, immediately appeared.

"Grandfather, this is not the time to trick grandson."

Gao Tianlong's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Who is tricking you? Minister Shangguan said you held back when facing the fake Empress Dowager, and she remembered her words, so this counts as a reward!"

"Minister Shangguan knows you are greedy for money and lustful, and she was afraid you would be conflicted. Anyway, tonight is the last day you and that Great Chu Second Princess will see each other in this life."

"Of course, whether you go or not is up to you. I'm just passing on the message!"

Gao Yang wore a sneer and then said, "She, Shangguan Wan'er, is underestimating people too much. She even counts it as a reward for this official, fearing I would be conflicted!"

"I admit I am greedy for money, but I absolutely do not admit to being lustful. She, Shangguan Wan'er, has recognized the wrong person. Today, even if I, Gao Yang, starve to death, hang myself, or suffocate, I will not go!"

Gao Yang said with conviction.

"Oh?"

"Not bad, a bit of backbone!"

After Gao Tianlong finished sighing, he said to Gao Feng, "Feng'er, let's go."

The two left Gao Yang's small courtyard and walked toward the backyard.

When they reached the room, Gao Tianlong ordered toward the door, "Go and see, where is Yang'er now?"

Soon, a subordinate came and said respectfully.

"Old Duke, the Eldest Young Master is carrying a pot of fine wine, and has ordered the servants to bring a few small dishes, and has gone to the room where the Second Princess of Chu is being held."

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianlong stretched out his aged palm toward Gao Feng and laughed loudly, "I won, give me the money!"

Gao Feng's face darkened, and he roared at the sky.

"This degenerate!"

"My three hundred taels, I finally believed in him once, but he made me lose so miserably!"

Gao Tianlong smiled and stroked his beard, then in his mind flashed the encounter between Shangguan Wan'er and Gao Yang after returning from the assassination in the palace.

He muttered to himself, "Minister Shangguan, besides being a bit bold, is not bad!"

"..."

Inside Chu Qingluan's room.

Chu Qingluan sat on the soft bed. Her features were exquisite, her complexion fair, and her phoenix eyes looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

This rain made her feel inexplicably familiar, and inexplicably, her face felt a bit flushed.

"Why would I think of that bastard!"

Thinking of the heavy rain that day, Chu Qingluan couldn't help but bite her silver teeth, feeling a bit annoyed.

"Tomorrow, I will regain my freedom and be able to return to Great Chu! This bastard hasn't come even until tonight. I want this bastard to die!" Chu Qingluan smashed the bed heavily and said viciously.

But at this moment.

A commotion came from outside the door.

Immediately after, Gao Yang pushed the door open and said to the servants in the mansion, "Put all the dishes on the table."

"Gao Yang, why are you here?"

Chu Qingluan was very surprised to see Gao Yang.

Gao Yang revealed a smile and said to Chu Qingluan, "Tomorrow the Second Princess will regain her freedom, so I thought that on the last day, I would come to see the Second Princess."

"And I have prepared a table of fine wine and dishes to see the Second Princess off!"

Chu Qingluan's gaze swept over the wine and dishes on the table, then looked at Gao Yang's hand, and she said amusingly, "Are you really here just to have a meal with me?"

Chu Qingluan's phoenix eyes carried coldness, her face was icy, and just by sitting there, she emitted an aura of nobility.

Those phoenix eyes that seemed to see through everything made Gao Yang's old face flush red.

"If not to eat, then what for?"

"As the saying goes, a hundred days of grace for one day as husband and wife. Between me and the Second Princess, if you count carefully, this grace is not small. You are returning to the Chu Kingdom, so I should naturally come to see you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingluan's fair face turned red, and she said suddenly, "Bastard, who is husband and wife with you?"

"I hate your hypocritical posture the most. Who wants to eat with you!"

"If you want to come, then come. Anyway, it's just a matter of a few cups of tea. I'll just consider myself bitten by a mosquito. Anyway, the food looks average!"

Gao Yang's face darkened.

As the number one poisonous strategist of Da Qian, making countless people tremble with fear, but here with Chu Qingluan, he truly couldn't lift his head.

He regretted not listening to Gao Tianlong and should have practiced with bricks every day.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Second Princess, I am truly not that kind of person. Don't be like this."

Chu Qingluan unbuttoned her collarbone, revealing her high collarbone and fair skin. She wore a cold expression and looked at Gao Yang with contempt.

"Living Yama, what are your thoughts? Do you really think I don't know?"

"If you have the guts, come and fight!"

"During the Battle of Changan, you didn't treat me as a person. Now, I hope you are still the same. Don't be like the food on the table, looking average and tasting average!" ===== CHAPTER 859 =====
