Chapter 371
"Quickly inform Prime Minister Xu!"
"Tell him to be careful when entering the palace, and don't let him be discovered. I have a bad feeling now."
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at her trusted maid, and when she heard the voice, her phoenix eyes were filled with sorrow, and her heartbeat was extremely fast at this moment.
"Yes!"
The trusted maid Zhilan hurriedly bent down and went out of the bedroom. Her body was hidden in the thick night of the palace, and she went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Empress Dowager Xiao was in her bedroom, pacing left and right, with a face full of annoyance despite her charm.
This matter was related to her life and death, and she had to treat it with caution.
Soon.
Xu Xuanji came to the Empress Dowager's bedroom in a eunuch robe.
He took off his hat and lowered his head carefully, saying, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I wonder why the Empress Dowager summoned me so late at night?"
Xu Xuanji looked curious. He had just gone to bed, but he received a summons from Empress Dowager Xiao.
At such a late hour, Xu Xuanji instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he quickly changed his clothes and entered the palace carefully.
Empress Dowager Xiao's phoenix eyes fell on Xu Xuanji, and she said directly, "The worst result has happened. This living devil seems to have discovered a clue!"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Xuanji's face changed instantly.
He naturally knew what Empress Dowager Xiao meant, and because of this, his face became even uglier.
He heard today that Wang Zhong and Yan Zheng were defeated, because the living devil dared to accept it, there was a way to deal with it, and his opinion of Gao Yang was raised again.
He wanted to send someone to send gifts before, and then use this as a handle to threaten Gao Yang, but now he saw that he almost gave away a wave of money for nothing.
But because of this incident, coupled with Gao Yang's past methods, Gao Yang was the most feared existence in the whole court!
"Empress Dowager, what is going on?"
Xu Xuanji asked nervously.
Empress Dowager Xiao looked solemnly at Zhilan on the side.
Zhilan said directly, "This evening, the commander of the imperial guards, Li Long, sent people to investigate Chen Qiang everywhere, claiming that he wanted to see him alive or dead!"
"And he left the palace late at night. Although our people dare not follow him, the direction is exactly the direction of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion!"
Xu Xuanji's heart suddenly sank, and his fists clenched. He looked at Zhilan and said, "Why did Li Long investigate Chen Qiang? Do you know the reason?"
"It is said that the brother of the Living King of Hell was tricked by Chen Qiang and cheated of money, so the Living King of Hell asked the commander of the imperial guards, Li Long, to investigate!"
"Tricked? Cheated?"
"Is it really that coincidental?"
Xu Xuanji narrowed his eyes, and a chill emanated from his body.
"Queen Dowager, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Xu Xuanji looked at Queen Dowager Xiao and said solemnly.
Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes were cold, and she said, "Of course I know it's not simple. The brother of the living devil was cheated of money. There are millions of people in Chang'an, why did it happen to Chen Qiang?"
"And why didn't you investigate earlier or later, but only after Lin arrived at the Dingguo Mansion did you start the investigation?"
"One is a coincidence, but so many coincidences together, it is definitely not a coincidence! I dare to conclude that Gao Yang must have heard some rumors!"
"Now I don't know how much Chen Qiang knows, and how much this living devil knows. This matter is really tricky!"
Empress Dowager Xiao's phoenix eyes were cold, and her voice was extremely cold.
Xu Xuanji also felt it was difficult, but he said, "Queen Dowager, since you can't solve this tricky problem, why not solve this person?"
Xu Xuanji showed a murderous intent in his eyes and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"I have many good men under my command, and they are all above average in assassination!"
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Xu Xuanji and scolded him, "Stupid!"
"Gao Yang is a poisonous scholar, with eight hundred tricks in his body. I heard that in Linjiang City, because of the public outrage, he wore two layers of soft armor when he went out and stayed close to the guards!"
"Now for such a big event, he won't be more cautious?"
"Assassination, who can kill him?"
Xu Xuanji was silent. Empress Dowager Xiao made sense. A poisonous scholar plotted against him. For such a big event, he must be more cautious!
Empress Dowager Xiao continued, "He ordered Li Long to openly investigate this matter. Maybe it was a trap for me. If I kill Li Long and assassinate Gao Yang, it will prove that the information in his hands is true. This is very likely!"
"Besides, Duke Dingguo is powerful. If Gao Yang is killed, Duke Dingguo will definitely go crazy. Maybe he also knows some information, which will be more disadvantageous to us!"
Empress Dowager Xiao felt more and more difficult to deal with. Gao Yang's move really stumped her. It seemed that she was doing something wrong now.
It was her first time to fight with the living devil, and she fell into a disadvantage before she even started fighting!
Xu Xuanji frowned, "Empress Dowager, what should we do then?? Should we just pretend we know nothing? "
Empress Dowager Xiao took a deep breath, her eyes flickering as she said,
"Since Gao Yang ordered Li Longming to investigate, he doesn't know much, and there is no evidence at all. Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome? If he had presented it directly to His Majesty, His Majesty would have come to question him!"
"Now we can only do nothing and stay the same in the face of change!"
Seeing this, Xu Xuanji could only nod, but he always had a feeling that his life had entered a countdown...
"..."
At the same time.
Dingguo Mansion.
In the courtyard, Gao Yang sat on a stone chair, holding a glass of fine wine in his hand, looking up at the bright moon.
"Tsk, good wine!"
Gao Yang took a sip of the wine and sighed.
On the side, Luluo stepped forward and said to Gao Yang, "Young Master, it's already midnight, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Do you want to have some fun tonight? "
Gao Yang almost choked on the wine he had just drunk when he heard this.
"What do you mean we have to have some fun tonight? I am waiting for a distinguished guest." Gao Yang looked at Lu Luo and then spoke.
"Distinguished guest?"
"Who would come so late?"
Lu Luo looked curious, sizing up Gao Yang's waist, and then said with a strange expression, "Young Master, you are not too tired recently and want to rest for two days, right?"
"Ahem!"
Gao Yang coughed twice, then stared at Lu Luo's innocent face that showed a hint of understanding. If it wasn't the wrong time, he really wanted to carry Lu Luo in and teach her a lesson.
Lu Luo saw the expression on Gao Yang's face and hurriedly comforted him, "Young Master, although Lu Luo is not a man, I have heard from the older sisters in the mansion that men are cows and women are fields. There are only cows that die of exhaustion in this world, but no fields that are plowed. ”
“So, young master, it’s okay, it’s okay. Young master has several fields, and it’s normal that he doesn’t want to plow them occasionally.”
Luo Luo tried to comfort him as much as possible, but Gao Yang felt deeply ashamed.
“Young master, the commander of the imperial guards, Commander Li, wants to see you late at night!”
At this time, Uncle Fu walked quickly from the front yard and bowed to Gao Yang.
Luo Luo blushed instantly when she heard this.
It turned out that Gao Yang was really waiting for someone.
“Bring Commander Li in.”
Gao Yang looked at Lu Luo, whose face was flushed, and said, “Go and serve some side dishes. After tonight, I will deal with you properly.”
Luo Luo’s ears turned red, and she ran away.
