Chapter 1858

"Young Master, the Old Duke has something he wants to ask. Please get up quickly, otherwise, the Old Duke is going to lose his temper."

Gao Yang was in a half-dreaming, half-waking state when he suddenly heard Lv Luo's voice outside the door.

He opened his eyes in a daze.

But Chu Chu Qingluan woke up with a start. When she looked out the window, the sunlight was blindingly bright.

This nap had actually lasted until now!

Chu Chu Qingluan's complexion changed slightly, turning a deep crimson.

How would the servants in the mansion, Gao Tianlong, and Gao Feng view her?

The sky was falling!

"Gao Yang, stop sleeping! The Old Duke is looking for you; get up quickly!"

Chu Chu Qingluan shook Gao Yang's arm, her tone urgent.

"Getting up now, getting up now."

Gao Yang got up and stretched, also feeling a bit curious as to why Gao Tianlong was suddenly looking for him.

After simply getting dressed and washing up.

Gao Yang headed straight for the backyard.

Lv Luo, however, entered the room and stared at the mess on the floor, her face full of shock.

Since when was the Young Master this strong?

Chu Chu Qingluan blushed, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

This past year had been too bitter; she had suffered endless bullying and had gradually lost hope in Great Chu. After agreeing to the marriage alliance with the Xiongnu, she no longer owed the Chu Emperor anything.

Yet Gao Yang had risked his life for her and even traded priceless glazed glass for her. Thus, their reunion last night had indeed been quite wild…

"……"

"Sun Er pays his respects to Grandfather!"

As soon as Gao Yang saw Gao Tianlong, he immediately bowed with a smile.

Gao Tianlong had changed into a crisp, long robe and was holding a cup of hot tea, saying with annoyance.

"If I hadn't let Lv Luo call you, wouldn't you have slept until evening?"

"Even though you are young now, you still need to show restraint! Remember, when young, one doesn't know the value of the body; in old age, one looks at their concubines and sheds tears in vain!"

Gao Tianlong said with a lecture.

If this were an ordinary person, they would certainly be extremely embarrassed, but who was Gao Yang?

He remained calm and composed, sat down, and said nonchalantly, "Grandfather's golden words are well-taken, Sun Er understands."

"But Grandfather, you were suddenly in such a rush to find me, I wonder what you want to ask?"

Gao Tianlong knew his character well; logically speaking, he shouldn't have asked him to come today.

Yet he had ordered people to check on him several times and even had Lv Luo call him to get up.

There was definitely something going on!

When it came to serious matters, Gao Tianlong's eyes also became a bit more solemn.

He scrutinized Gao Yang and said, "I just have some doubts in my heart that I want to ask about."

Gao Yang picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Grandfather, just ask. Sun Er will naturally tell you everything he knows without reservation!"

Gao Tianlong looked solemn, then said heavily, "I ask you, yesterday when His Majesty came to the mansion to discuss politics, why didn't you look at His Majesty's legs?"

Once these words were spoken.

The next second!

Pfft!

Gao Yang spat out a mouthful of water.

He hadn't expected that this was the question Gao Tianlong would ask.

"His Majesty is the Supreme Ruler, his status is so noble, how could Sun Er keep peeking at His Majesty's legs? That doesn't conform to the way of a subject!" Gao Yang replied.

Gao Tianlong sneered, "I don't attend morning court often, but every time I go, I see you secretly peeking at His Majesty's beautiful legs. Was there no 'way of a subject' back then?"

Gao Yang looked embarrassed, "Grandfather, the word 'peeking' is too unrefined; Sun Er was admiring."

"Then why did you admire before, but not now? And also, why don't you look at His Majesty's chest anymore? Didn't you tell me before that one should look straight ahead? Why has that stopped now?"

Gao Tianlong's gaze was sharp, carrying an aggressive interrogation.

Gao Yang put down his teacup, raised his eyes, his smile gradually fading, finally turning into a hint of helplessness. He looked at Gao Tianlong and said, "Grandfather, what exactly do you want to ask?"

Gao Tianlong was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Yang'er, tell me the truth, do you… have grievances against His Majesty?"

After finishing, Gao Tianlong's pair of sharp eyes stared fixedly at Gao Yang's face.

He was waiting, waiting for the answer in Gao Yang's heart!

"Yang'er, don't lie to me!" Gao Tianlong said word by word.

Gao Yang felt very helpless about this.

Ginger is indeed spicier when it's old; his subtle changes were all in Gao Tianlong's eyes.

"Yes!"

Gao Yang stared at Gao Tianlong and nodded.

Boom!

Gao Yang's words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Gao Tianlong's mind.

His fists clenched tightly.

Everything… was indeed as he had expected!
