Chapter 375
"A little tea, not worth much. Lord Gao wants it. I'll have someone prepare some later." Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Then, the two chatted casually. Empress Dowager Xiao praised Gao Yang as a talent for the country, and Gao Yang praised Empress Dowager Xiao for her beauty and being a role model for the harem.
Both sides tacitly did not mention Chen Qiang.
Gao Yang was not panicked at all. From Empress Dowager Xiao's sudden summons, this matter was almost certain.
Then he definitely didn't need to panic. Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to wait for Gao Yang to speak and reveal his intentions first, so that she would not fall too far behind.
For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
"This Gao Yang is really difficult to deal with! He is simply full of tricks." Empress Dowager Xiao stared at Gao Yang's face and sighed in her heart.
Xu Xuanji gritted his teeth and said nothing. Damn, his feet were a little numb.
But now he had to hold back, otherwise if he made some noise, it would be a lot of fun.
Gao Yang had another handle.
Gao Yang looked at the empress dowager's delicate skin and decided to give her a hard blow.
He stood up and bowed to Empress Dowager Xiao, saying, "Empress Dowager, I am busy with official business, so I will take my leave first."
This move was obviously to put Empress Dowager Xiao on the fire.
If Gao Yang left, it would be even more disadvantageous for her.
"Sir Gao, wait a minute, why are you so anxious? I actually have something else to ask you to solve my doubts."
When Empress Dowager Xiao saw Gao Yang was about to leave, she spoke up quickly, and her phoenix eyes fell on the back of Gao Yang who was about to leave.
Gao Yang paused, and a smile appeared on his face, but the smile was fleeting.
He turned around, with a confused look on his face.
"I don't know what the Queen Mother wants. I am just an official in the Ministry of Revenue and only know the ways of business. How can I help the Queen Mother solve her problems?"
Queen Mother Xiao knew that Gao Yang was the kind of person who would not act until he saw the rabbit. His cunningness was totally inconsistent with his age.
She waved her hand and said, "All go down."
"I want to talk to Lord Gao about something. Don't let strangers get close!"
As the voice of Queen Mother Xiao sounded, the maids retreated one after another.
"Queen Mother, although it is broad daylight, it is not appropriate for the Queen Mother and me to be in the same room, right?" Gao Yang coughed twice.
Queen Mother Xiao twitched her mouth and said to Gao Yang, "Lord Gao, I like to be more direct, so I won't beat around the bush with you."
Gao Yang knew that Chen Qiang and Lin were by his side, and he investigated with great fanfare.
He must have known it, or at least had some information.
"I heard that there is a guard in the palace named Chen Qiang. He is so bold that he cheated Mr. Gao's brother of his money. Is that true or not?"
When Empress Dowager Xiao said this, her eyes were fixed on Gao Yang's.
She looked calm, but she could not hide her nervousness.
After all, this matter was too important!
But Gao Yang had been pretending to be confused, which made her feel powerless.
There was no other way. Now she had to break this window paper.
Gao Yang smiled when he heard this.
At this moment, all the evidence was closed. He was almost certain that there was something wrong with the death of the late emperor!
And it was related to the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister.
As for the evidence, it was not needed at all. The only thing now was to stabilize Empress Dowager Xiao.
He said to Empress Dowager Xiao, "The Empress Dowager may have heard some rumors."
Empress Dowager Xiao was a little impatient. She had said it so directly. Would Gao Yang continue to play dumb?
But the next second, Gao Yang's voice rang out.
"It's a lie that this person cheated my brother of his money. In fact, I heard a shocking news from this person. He told me that the death of the previous emperor was murdered."
As soon as these words came out, they swept through the entire Queen Mother's palace like a storm.
Gao Yang said such shocking news so vividly?
It was so direct that she found it hard to accept.
Gao Yang glanced at the sudden surprise on the Queen Mother's face and shook his head in his heart.
You see, if you don't speak directly, you will look contemptuous, and if you speak too directly, you can't stand it.
Not to mention Queen Mother Xiao, even Xu Xuanji almost hit his head on the bed in shock.
He put his ear close to the bed and listened to the noise.
"The death of the previous emperor was murdered? Lord Gao, are you kidding me?"
Queen Mother Xiao stood up, walked towards the middle table, and sat on a rosewood chair.
At this moment, she was a little confused.
Gao Yang looked at the Queen Mother's back and said calmly, "Queen Mother, you asked me to be more direct, but why did you hide your head and show your tail instead?"
"Others may not know who Chen Qiang is, but doesn't the Queen Mother know it?"
"The person Chen Qiang claimed to have murdered the late emperor was the Queen Mother!"
After hearing these words, Queen Mother Xiao was immediately shocked.His body trembled.
"Master Gao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
"Slandering me, I'm afraid even Master Gao can't bear this crime!"
Xu Xuanji also widened his eyes, his face full of shock. At this moment, he wanted to jump out.
Gao Yang walked towards Queen Mother Xiao, and he said lightly, "Queen Mother, do you know Lin?"
Gao Yang suddenly asked, staring at Queen Mother Xiao.
Queen Mother Xiao looked at Gao Yang, her eyes moved.
Although Queen Mother Xiao's expression was well hidden on her face, in front of him who was good at micro-expressions, nothing could be hidden.
His eyes were very venomous!
He even saw what Queen Mother Xiao was like when he first saw her.
Queen Mother Xiao must know this Lin!
Queen Mother Xiao took a deep breath. Once Chen Qiang and Lin appeared, there was no point in hiding it.
And Gao Yang said it so directly.
She looked directly at Gao Yang and said, "Mr. Gao, you are a smart man. There is no one smarter than you in the whole Daqian. You should not get involved in this matter."
Gao Yang sighed and said, "I don't want to get involved, but there is no way. I have no choice!"
"Since I know all this, I can't stay out of it. Since this matter is placed on me, I can only bite the bullet and investigate it."
"How much do you know?"
Empress Dowager Xiao narrowed her eyes and spoke directly.
"I know everything I should know and don't know. Chen Qiang has said it all. I have to say that it is incredible and shocking!"
"Empress Dowager, you are confused!"
Gao Yang pointed at the Empress Dowager with a face full of pain.
"Since you even know the secret that the eleventh prince is not the son of His Majesty, then I have nothing to say." Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and spoke.
"What?"
"The late emperor was cheated?"
"Fuck!"
Gao Yang was shocked, but his face was as calm as an old dog.
This is big news.
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Gao Yang and said bluntly, "Mr. Gao, since you made such a big fuss but didn't tell His Majesty, what is your intention?"
"Or to be more direct, what does Mr. Gao want?"
Gao Yang was shocked.
Then, he approached from behind Empress Dowager Xiao and put his hands on her shoulders.
Suddenly, there was a pair of big hands on her shoulders, which gave Empress Dowager Xiao goose bumps all over her body.
This Gao Yang is so bold!
But before she could speak, she felt Gao Yang leaning down and slowly approaching her ear.
Then he said softly.
"What I want is up to the Empress Dowager!"
"But I think the Empress Dowager definitely doesn't want Your Majesty to know that the death of the late emperor was related to the Empress Dowager, right?"
