I, the strongest poisoner, am called the living king of hell by the empress

Chapter 268

In the imperial study, as Gao Yang's voice sounded, it suddenly fell into silence.

Wu Zhao looked down at Gao Yang from a high place.

Gao Yang also looked at Wu Zhao carefully.

Inexplicably, Gao Yang felt guilty. Wu Zhao's gaze was still very oppressive.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, I will leave first. I have to go to Cui's house right after I leave the palace."

Wu Zhao's eyes widened and she raised her voice, "You are the Minister of Revenue, and you want to take the initiative to visit Cui Xinghe?"

Gao Yang coughed twice and said, "This is a show, so I must do it in full. I am a person who pursues perfection!"

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and suppressed the surging blood in her heart. She turned her head and pointed in the direction of the palace door, "Get out!"

"I don't want to see you now!"

Seeing this, Gao Yang said decisively, "Okay!"

Gao Yang immediately turned around and walked out.

Wu Zhao only let him go out, but did not stop him.

After Gao Yang left, Wu Zhao rubbed her eyebrows.

"This Gao Yang is really completely devoid of morals!"

"But then again, the saying that a friend dies rather than a poor Taoist does make sense."

After a moment of silence, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Your Majesty, do you think the Da Chu envoys really dare to assassinate in my Daqian Imperial City?"

Wu Zhao heard this and nodded slowly.

"It's possible. Gao Yang is a priceless treasure to my Daqian, but a deadly threat to Dachu. In addition, he was defeated by Gao Yang today. It's not surprising that he did anything out of anger."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "They are so arrogant, aren't they afraid that they will all stay in my Daqian?"

Wu Zhao said lightly, "The eldest princess of Dachu may be of noble status, but to Dachu, she is insignificant. Her status is not proportional to Gao Yang's, and assassination requires evidence. , if I kill them all in anger, it will be a bad omen for Da Chu!"

"By exchanging their lives for Gao Yang's life, I can also exchange for a legitimate reason, so that the world will despise me and Da Qian. This deal is not a loss. If Gao Yang had not sensed the crisis, how could he have thought of blaming Cui Xinghe?"

"My Minister of Revenue, I dare not guarantee other aspects, but his sense of the coming crisis is unparalleled in the world!"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, thinking it made sense.

Gao Yang's sense of crisis is really sharp.

But she hesitated and said, "The Princess of Chu is not a mediocre person. Will she really fall for Gao Yang's trick?"

Wu Zhao came to the window, looked into the distance with her hands behind her back, and shook her head, "I can't guarantee this, but since ancient times, the smarter people are, the more conceited they are, but it is also the easiest to be smart and make mistakes!"

"The doubts about Gao Yang, let alone the Princess of Chu, even I am extremely curious. How can a person who can write "The clouds look like clothes, the flowers look like faces, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick" write "The stone looks big from a distance, and the big stone looks big from a close distance?"

"In comparison, as long as the suspicion is directed to Cui Xinghe, a long-established top scholar and a playboy who has been a playboy for the first half of his life, who do you prefer in your heart?"

After Wu Zhao said this, Shangguan Wan'er also fell silent.

Finally, Wu Zhao sighed, "This Gao Yang has set up a good game!"

"Master Cui, this is destined to happen!"

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

"Call the guard commander Li Long!"

Wu Zhao suddenly spoke, her face full of murderous intent.

Soon, Li Long strode in.

"Your Majesty, your servant Li Long, pays respect to His Majesty!"

Wu Zhao stood in the hall with her hands behind her back, and said indifferently: "Pass on my order, send a team of elite soldiers to Cui Zhuangyuan's residence to protect Cui Zhuangyuan day and night, and make sure Cui Zhuangyuan's safety is guaranteed!"

"In addition, send another team of guards to secretly protect Master Gao's safety!"

Li Long was stunned, and his resolute face was full of confusion.

"Protect Cui Xinghe???"

A mere Zhongshu Sheren, does he need the palace guards to go and protect him?

Who is so bored that he would kill Cui Xinghe?

But looking at Wu Zetian's cold face, Li Long did not dare to ask more questions. She hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey your order!"

Then, Li Long strode away.

"With the protection of the imperial guards in the palace, Cui Zhuangyuan's safety is greatly guaranteed. In this way, there is no need to worry about the death soldiers of the Chu State."

Shangguan Wan'er looked relaxed.

"But have you ever thought about a question? If I secretly send the imperial guards to protect Cui Xinghe, wouldn't this further confirm Cui Xinghe's importance?"

"If the assassins are killed, it is almost a hammer!"

As soon as Wu Zetian's voice came out, Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

These words were like a revelation, which made her also understandRecognized the drawbacks of the guards' protection.

If Gao Yang was just suspicious, and Chu Ningyu was just guessing, then regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not, the guards' actions were the biggest confirmation in Chu Ningyu's heart!

After all, you are Cui Xinghe, a mere fifth-rank Zhongshu Sheren, how could there be a palace guard specifically guarding you?

This point will connect all the previous speculations!

Wu Zhao looked out the window and said faintly, "There is an open conspiracy mixed with conspiracy. This Gao Yang is simply superb!"

"If I don't take action, Cui Xinghe is extremely dangerous. If I take action, Chu Ningyu will be more certain that Cui Xinghe is the number one poisoner in Daqian. After returning to Dachu, I will continue to assassinate Cui Xinghe and will not stop until I achieve my goal."

Shangguan Wan'er was moved.

In her mind, the scene Wu Zhao said seemed to emerge. If a wave of assassinations failed, there would be a steady stream of assassins to assassinate.

"Master Cui, it's a bit tragic."

Wu Zhao let out a long sigh, as if she had made up her mind, "Compared to Gao Yang, it's still Cui Zhuangyuan who should take the blame. If something really happens, I will go there in person to burn more paper money for Cui Zhuangyuan."

"Otherwise, my conscience will not be able to live with it!"

"..."
