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

The next day.

A ray of sunshine pierced through the dark clouds and shone on the earth, bringing vitality and hope. The horses in Chang'an City galloped and left the palace with the latest decree.

Du Shuang would never understand what he had done wrong to make Wu Zhao so angry. Not only did he receive thirty strokes of the cane, but he was also dismissed from office.

This would become a mystery that he would never be able to solve until his death.

Xu Xuanji was equally unexpected.

That man has returned!

Outside the Golden Palace.

Xu Xuanji walked along the long palace road in the palace. The guards on both sides stood tall and majestic like sculptures!

He stood straight, wearing a purple robe unique to the prime minister, with a strong aura of a superior, and a faint smile on his face.

He stepped directly into the Golden Palace and came to his own official position.

Slurp.

Without the Living King of Hell, even the air in the morning court is so fresh.

So cool!

So refreshing!

In four days, the Dingguo Mansion has been hung with white silk. The Living King of Hell must be dead.

In the huge Jinluan Palace, he Xu Xuanji is the head of all officials!

Without Gao Yang, Wu Zhao is like a tiger without claws and fangs. The threat is far reduced. In the future, the power of the prime minister will rise in the world of Daqian!

Xu Xuanji looked at Wang Zhong with a pair of eyes, and then said sadly, "There has been no news from the Living King of Hell for four days. He must have been killed. My Daqian has lost such a good minister. I am so sad."

Wang Zhong's face was full of joy, his body was straight, but he was also very sad.

"Prime Minister Xu, I am also very sad. Since the death of the Living King of Hell, I have not been able to sleep well. I can only sleep for six hours a night. The meals are not delicious. I can only eat a big elbow and three bowls of white rice. Oh!"

Xu Xuanji's mouth twitched.

There are only twelve hours in a day. Wang Zhong can sleep for six hours. Is this called not sleeping well?

But he nodded and said, "It seems that the death of Mr. Gao has dealt a great blow to General Wang, and so has I!"

"Although your majesty is also in heartache, Chang'an can't go on like this. Millions of Chang'an people have been blocked for four consecutive days. The cost is too high. Where will the people of Chang'an be!"

"As your majesty's right-hand men, you and I should stop your majesty from continuing to be confused. What do you think, General Wang?"

"I think what Prime Minister Xu said makes sense." Wang Zhong stroked his beard and spoke directly.

At this time, Gao Feng also came up in his official robes. Wang Zhong approached him and said loudly, "Minister Gao, I understand the pain of losing a son. I hope you will be more compassionate!"

"After all, even if you are sad, even the living devil can't come back. Minister Gao, be strong!"

He spoke to Gao Feng. Although his words were very sad, his gloating was very obvious!

Gao Feng stared at Wang Zhong and said in surprise, "General Wang can also feel the pain of losing a son. Could it be that General Wang also has no son?"

When Wang Zhong heard this, his expression changed.

"You..."

Wang Zhong's beard on his chin was trembling. He pointed at Gao Feng and his lips moved.

"Did I understand it wrong?"

Gao Feng smiled and looked curious.

Wang Zhong stared at Gao Feng's face and was a little upset.

Gao Feng got rid of the pain of losing a son so quickly? This was completely different from what he thought!

And when did Gao Feng become so sharp-tongued?

Pretending!

He must be pretending!

"Hmph!"

"For the sake of your grief over the loss of your son, I won't argue with you."

Wang Zhong turned around and left.

Once Gao Yang died, the influence of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion would become weaker and weaker over time, and even head towards...destruction!

Now, let this peak be arrogant for a while!

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's shrill voice, Wu Zhao, wearing a golden dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne with high spirits.

All officials saluted in unison.

"Long live your Majesty."

Wu Zhao's cold eyes swept through all the officials, raised her hand and said: "Stand up!"

Her eyes focused on Xu Xuanji, and a smile slowly rose at the corner of her mouth.

Xu Xuanji and Wu Zhao's sights converged in the air, and Xu Xuanji was inexplicably excited.

Your Majesty is... smiling at him.

But it was true. The Living King of Hell was kidnapped by the Merciless Cult before he could reveal his relationship with the Queen Mother.

Now that the Living King of Hell is gone and Wu Zhao is unaware of the truth, then Xu Xuanji, as the head of all officials, should be the first person in Wu Zhao's heart.

"My dear ministers, if you have something to report, please come to me."

Wu Zhao looked at all the officials and spoke slowly.

In her heart, this morning court was originally a difficult storm.

But with Gao Yang's return, everything was solved, and she was even looking forward to it now.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xu Xuanji stepped out with a cold face.

He sighed in his heart and hugged Gao Yang.Sorry, Your Majesty, I am the Queen Mother's man.

Instantly, all the officials' eyes were focused on Xu Xuanji.

Cui Xinghe and Lu Wen all looked over, their eyes deep.

The atmosphere in the entire Jinluan Palace changed instantly with Xu Xuanji's words.

"What do you want to say, Prime Minister Xu?"

Wu Zhao stared at Xu Xuanji, and her voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace.

"Your Majesty, first of all, I am very sad about what happened to Mr. Gao!"

"This group of assassins must be severely punished! But then again, four days have passed, and Mr. Gao's hope of survival is already very low."

Wu Zhao was not surprised at all, and said coldly, "Prime Minister Xu, you may as well speak directly if you have something to say."

Xu Xuanji's face was full of righteousness, and his voice resounded loudly.

"Your Majesty, it has been four days since Lord Gao was kidnapped. The entire Chang'an City has been blocked for four days. The people are suffering."

"Today, for the millions of people in Chang'an City, no matter how much your Majesty values ​​Lord Gao and how much you punish me, I must stand up!"

"I beg your Majesty to bury Lord Gao with honor, open the gates of Chang'an, and give the people peace."

Wu Zhao's eyes became colder and colder. She said, "Gao Yang is my great dry stream. He has shed blood and worked hard, but now his life or death is unknown. How can I give up? "

Xu Xuanji straightened his waist and said without showing any weakness, "It's been four days. Mr. Gao must have been killed."

"Your Majesty, if you continue to investigate, it will only waste manpower and material resources. This is not what a sage king does!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were cold, and she said, "Sage king?"

"What is a sage king? If you don't save people who are dying and put profit first, is that a sage king in history books?"

Xu Xuanji wanted this effect.

If Wu Zhao bowed to him, his majesty as prime minister would be even greater, and the people would be grateful to him. If Wu Zhao didn't bow her head, it would also show that he tried his best, and he could also gain a wave of people's hearts. On the contrary, the people's complaints would make Wu Zhao lose people's hearts.

Power games always start from the subtleties.

Xu Xuanji said, "If your majesty insists on doing it, I can only die!"

When the death remonstrance came out, all the officials were shocked.

Wu Zhao smiled instantly, and she said, "It seems that I have done something wrong."

"My dear ministers, let me see, do you also think that my move is a waste of money and labor? Do you support Prime Minister Xu?"

The officials looked at each other first, and then some officials could not help but step forward and stand up.

"I second the motion!"

"I second the motion!"

Almost instantly, some officials stood up and bowed to Wu Zhao.

Shangguan Wan'er silently scanned the officials and silently wrote down the names of all the officials who supported Xu Xuanji's motion so that they could hand them over to Gao Yang.

Wang Zhong also stepped forward and said to Wu Zhao with a sad face, "Your Majesty, let me make it clear that I am extremely sad."

"In my heart, Lord Gao is the tiger of Daqian and the light of Daqian. Although I have had gaps and misunderstandings with Lord Gao, this does not affect my admiration for Lord Gao, which is like the endless torrent of rivers!"

"Since Lord Gao was attacked, I have not been able to eat well or sleep well. Even every night, I can't help crying!"

"I hate that Daqian has lost its strongest poisoner. I hate that it was not me who died!"

"Lord Gao, how I want to see you again, Lord Gao!"

Wang Zhong pounded his chest and squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the palace.
