~6 min read 1,009 words

"I am very worried that the Empress Dowager is summoning this person alone!"

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced with her phoenix eyes, her body filled with nobility and contempt, and said coldly, "I am the Empress Dowager of Da Qian, the master of the inner palace, one person above ten thousand, the most noble person in the world!"

"Does that Gao Yang dare to have lustful thoughts toward me? He dares!"

Empress Dowager Xiao raised her slender swan neck, even waving the black phoenix robe on her body, her face filled with anger and disdain.

Seeing this, Xu Xuanji wanted to say something but stopped. But just as he was about to speak, Zhilan walked in and said to the Empress Dowager.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Minister of Revenue Gao Yang has arrived outside the hall and is waiting for your summons."

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao said to Xu Xuanji, "My bed has a hidden mechanism. You open the switch at the foot of the bed and push the bed away; it can hold one person inside."

"You are the Prime Minister and are used to the fighting of officials. Help me see what this Living Yama means!"

"Your subject obeys the order!"

Xu Xuanji nodded, responded, and then came to the side of the Empress Dowager's bed, opened the mechanism of the bed, lay inside, and closed the bed board again.

Although it was a bit suffocating, he could endure it.

The Empress Dowager stepped forward, tidied up the bedding on the bed, and then said to Zhilan.

"Summon Gao Yang into the palace!"

"I want to see what Gao Yang is capable of!"

Empress Dowager Xiao's voice was cold, her phoenix eyes full of grace and luxury.

"..."

Outside the bedchamber.

Gao Yang looked around at everything outside the Empress Dowager's bedchamber, rockeries and water, corridors passing through, many palace maids were taking care of flowers and plants. This place was considered the deepest part of the Imperial Palace, and he had never been here before.

"Never been here, try to come more often in the future." Gao Yang said, tsking.

Wu Zhao is the Empress of Da Qian; it is inevitable that there will be some filth in the inner palace, and it's even possible there will be some fake eunuchs. He, Gao Yang, as Wu Zhao's confidant, should find out these fake eunuchs and punish them with extreme penalties!

Then he would occasionally enter the palace to help.

"Lord Gao, the Empress Dowager invites you."

Zhilan moved with lotus steps, wearing a green ru skirt, and bowed to Gao Yang.

"Lead the way."

Gao Yang stood straight and said faintly.

It is rumored that Empress Dowager Xiao is peerlessly beautiful, every move filled with endless charm, but she does not show herself easily. He, Gao Yang, wanted to see what it was all about.

Today, this appearance must be sacrificed for Wu Zhao, and the acting must be superb; otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to deceive the Empress Dowager.

I also have to take some silver.

Zhilan scanned Gao Yang. After all, Gao Yang had a reputation, and looking at him like this, he looked quite upright.

Gao Yang followed behind Zhilan. Zhilan walked to a big door, pushed it open, and said to Gao Yang, "Lord Gao, please!"

Gao Yang nodded and walked slowly into the Empress Dowager's bedchamber.

As soon as he stepped into the bedchamber, he smelled a rich scent of dragon saliva wood sandalwood. Looking at it, it was golden and brilliant, extremely extravagant.

But what caught Gao Yang's attention most was a woman of peerless beauty in the middle of the room.

The woman had an exquisite face, wearing a black phoenix robe that covered her whole body, sitting on a carved chair with brocade cushions.

Golden sunlight shone through the window into the entire bedchamber, and her skin was like fine white jade, flawless.

Her whole person seemed to have been soaked in the finest sheep's milk, emitting a soft luster.

Even though Gao Yang had seen many beauties in his past and present lives, he couldn't help but feel a flash of amazement in his eyes at this moment.

Women are better when they are older.

"I have long heard of Lord Gao's great name. Seeing you today, it is truly well-deserved."

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Gao Yang with a faint smile on her face.

"Seeing the Empress Dowager for the first time today, I was also stunned for a moment. If the Empress Dowager hadn't spoken, I would have thought I was seeing a young girl of sixteen!"

Gao Yang bowed, his voice sounding.

Xu Xuanji was hiding under the Empress Dowager's bed, in total darkness, but he could hear clearly.

He couldn't help but scold in his heart, "A guy who only knows how to flatter, truly shameless."

Inside the bedchamber.

Empress Dowager Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Lord Gao is worthy of being the number one strategist in the world. This mouth is truly eloquent, but it really makes me happy."

"Lord Gao, please sit, serve tea!"

Empress Dowager Xiao said to Zhilan, and Zhilan also hurriedly stepped forward to make tea.

"This is the finest West Lake Longjing, with tea fragrance overflowing. Lord Gao, have a taste."

Empress Dowager Xiao stretched out her hand and said to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip, the tea fragrance overflowing.

"Tsk, truly good tea!"

Empress Dowager Xiao took a sip of tea and said politely, "Since it's good, when Lord Gao leaves later, you can take some back to taste."

"How could I be so embarrassed!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the reward."

Gao Yang said without any hesitation.

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned. She was just being polite, who would really take it?

But she didn't expect Gao Yang to accept it without hesitation.

The finest West Lake Longjing is worth a lot, but since the words were out, she couldn't take them back.
