Chapter 756

Zhilan hurriedly blocked Wu Xuan and said, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is meeting with Lord Gao to discuss important matters; you should wait a while!"

Although the Eleventh Imperial Prince was young, his entire being was filled with an air of lofty majesty.

He snorted coldly, "What is Gao Yang? Others may fear him, but I do not. He is merely a house servant of my Wu family. Get out of my way!"

Wu Xuan prepared to barge in directly.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Zhilan had no choice but to follow behind Wu Xuan.

"Your Highness, you really cannot go in!"

Wu Xuan ignored her and continued to barge inside.

"..."

"Lord Gao, I am the Empress Dowager of Da Qian, the mother of the world. You are bold!"

Empress Dowager Xiao felt a tingling sensation throughout her body, filled with anger.

Lu Wen was right; this Gao Yang's boldness was truly immense!

Even if he had eaten a leopard's gall, it wouldn't be as large as his!

"Lord Gao, do you know what you are saying? Be careful, or I shall punish you for the crime of great disrespect!"

"This is a capital offense!"

Empress Dowager Xiao's voice rang out, carrying a sense of anger.

"Then please punish this official for the crime of great disrespect, Empress Dowager. This subject admits his guilt!"

"This subject will go to the Emperor now to admit his guilt, reflect properly, and even if I die, I will accept it."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he stood up and headed toward the main entrance.

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned.

If he found Wu Zhao, wouldn't everything be exposed?

"Lord Gao, come back first; let us talk properly."

Empress Dowager Xiao's voice rang out, her tone lowered.

"Lord Gao, what exactly do you want? Let us talk properly."

Empress Dowager Xiao's phoenix eyes tightened, her entire being suffused with nobility.

Gao Yang slowly approached Empress Dowager Xiao, and she felt a sense of unease, leaning her entire body backward.

"Lord Gao, if you like beauties, I shall bestow beauties upon you, but this is my bedchamber; do not ruin yourself!"

Empress Dowager Xiao gritted her teeth, her skin crawling.

Let alone physical contact, even just being close to him made her feel a sense of nausea from the bottom of her heart.

Gao Yang slowly reached out, lifted Empress Dowager Xiao's delicate chin, and his eyes swept over her prominent collarbones.

This action shocked Empress Dowager Xiao so much that she even forgot to dodge.

"Lord Gao, do you really dare to be disrespectful to me?"

Gao Yang gave a sinister laugh, "Empress Dowager, I see you still have your charm!"

Once these words were spoken—

Empress Dowager Xiao was shocked.

Her phoenix eyes widened.

Inside the bed, Lu Wen was also shocked.

Gao Yang sees the Empress Dowager still has her charm?

"What a beast, damn it!"

"To actually use this matter to threaten the Empress Dowager; it is truly taking advantage of someone's predicament. How shameless."

Lu Wen gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

Then, he pressed his ear tightly against the bed board, continuing to listen to the movements outside.

He even wished he could dig a small hole!

This beast Gao Yang—what kind of beast is he? He had to see properly and despise him fiercely!

"I have long heard that the Empress Dowager still has her charm. In such a wonderful moment, how could I let it pass?"

Gao Yang scanned the Empress Dowager's figure, his gaze unbridled.

"You deliberately made such a big scene just to threaten me?"

"But do you know how miserable you will be if this matter gets out?"

Empress Dowager Xiao gritted her teeth, shocked, and said to Gao Yang.

"As long as the Empress Dowager doesn't speak, and I don't speak, who would know?"

"This matter can be big or small. After all, it happened nearly half a year ago. As long as the Empress Dowager is willing to seal my lips, I will kill the Lin family and silence them, and no one will know."

"I am not one who likes trouble; palace struggles bring me no benefit at all."

Gao Yang's voice rang out as he looked at Empress Dowager Xiao.

He came here, first, to determine if the Empress Dowager had any connection to the late Emperor's death, and second, to provide himself with a motive.

He, Gao Yang, is truly the number one loyal subject of Da Qian!

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao fell silent.

She was judging whether Gao Yang's words were true or false.

Her eyes flickered.

"I see the Empress Dowager is somewhat fatigued. It just so happens that I know a set of ancestral massage techniques; let me help you relax."

Gao Yang rolled up his sleeves and spoke.

"I am not fatigued," Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly said.

"I feel the Empress Dowager is very fatigued."

"I am really not fatigued."

"Is the Empress Dowager certain? If so, then I shall take my leave."

"Fine, I am indeed somewhat fatigued."

The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth but still spoke.

A smile appeared on Gao Yang's face as he said, "Empress Dowager, rest assured, my massage is guaranteed to be satisfying!"

"If it weren't for the prevalence of Confucianism and the heavy constraints on women, I would have wanted to open a women's club with this craft of mine."

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't speak and walked directly toward the bed, but when she looked at the bed, she suddenly paused.

She almost forgot, there was still someone inside!

"Empress Dowager, what is wrong?"

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the sturdy bed and shook her head, "Nothing."

"Then I ask the Empress Dowager to lie down."

Inside the bed.

Lu Wen was bewildered, his eyes suddenly widening in shock.

What?

He's going to start now?

As expected, one must have guts!

But he thought, in such a large room, where else could one lie down, let alone get a massage?

Besides the bed, where else could it be?

But he was still inside the bed! He was still inside the bed!

Gao Yang shouldn't discover him, right?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Empress Dowager Xiao walked toward the bed and lay down facing inward, while Gao Yang sat on the edge of the bed.

It just so happened that he had eaten too much in the morning, his stomach was feeling uncomfortable, and at this moment, a wave of flatulence approached. ===== CHAPTER 758 =====
