Volume 66

The Powerful and Scheming Young Empress Dowager (52)

    There was a tea table with a chess game that was already half-finished.

    Gu Xiao sat alone beside it, staring at the chessboard intently, with a cup of fragrant tea in front of him.

    Bizhu led Yu Hongling in and then left. Yu Hongling bowed, but Gu Xiao ignored him. He was quite relaxed, took two steps forward, lifted his skirt and sat down.

    Gu Xiao smiled slightly, raised her eyelids and said, "Young Master, you have a good idea."

    Yu Hongling was a little surprised that Gu Xiao said this at the beginning. Seeing her half-smile, he immediately understood the deep meaning.

    He had been coming to the palace frequently in the past few days, and some rumors had already spread. Although everyone who should know knew that the rumors were untrue, Yu Hongling, a famous scholar, was involved with the empress dowager who attempted to control the government. No matter how you looked at it, Yu Hongling was at a disadvantage.

But in this case, Yu Hongling didn't need to find another reason to enter the palace. He took out a chess piece from the chess box and put it on the chessboard, seemingly changing the subject: "The queen's palace is as solid as a rock, how could she be afraid of what a few idle people say."

    Gu Xiao smiled lightly. It was indeed as solid as a rock. The entrance hall of her palace was desolate, and there were a lot of low-level maids. Except for Bizhu, the other one who was handy was no longer there. In recent years, many people wanted to insert people into her, but the emperor was young, and no one in the court or the harem could control her life. It

    was just that in such an environment, she often met Yu Hongling and inevitably caused gossip. Yu Hongling found it interesting. He came to play chess and drink tea whenever he had nothing to do. He also met Qin Yan who came to pay his

    respects several times. The two played chess for a while and then removed the chessboard. The two chatted for a while. Yu Hongling saw that Gu Xiao looked normal, and looked at her with a deep face and didn't know what he was thinking.

    "I should take my leave now."

    Gu Xiao looked at Yu Hongling in surprise. It was still early, which was unlike his usual style. Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly. Yu Hongling seemed to see what she meant, and turned her head and said, "I am not like the Empress Dowager, who remains calm as before when a storm is coming."

    Hearing this, Gu Xiao was stunned. She didn't expect that the world-famous Young Master Qinghong would also be nervous. She smiled a little presumptuous and said, "With the Young Master's help, I will naturally rest assured."

    "Compared with the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Teacher, I am far inferior." Yu Hongling's words did reveal some respect.

    Gu Xiao didn't expect him to be like this. For a moment, he was overwhelmed with emotions. He stopped joking and sighed, "Now that we know about this, there is no reason not to do it. It's not for personal grudges, but for the people's livelihood."

    Yu Hongling looked at Gu Xiao's profile and was a little

    dazed for a moment. He always knew that the queen mother was the most beautiful woman in the capital, but he was not the kind of person who was easily deceived by the appearance. It was just that at this moment he had to admit that this person did have the capital to look down on the beauty. The sadness when she talked about her personal desires and the compassion when she talked about the people of the world were intertwined together, as if she was covered with the light and shadow of the altar.
