Chapter 92: Queen Mother? Queen Mother!
Gao Changsheng bowed and saluted.

But the doubts in my heart did not dissipate.

Of course, he couldn't be unaware of this queen.

Born as a princess, she was the mother of the country and after a glorious half-life she ended up experiencing displacement.

His life experience was extremely legendary, but it also makes people sigh.

Of course, Gao Changsheng was obviously not thinking about the queen’s experience, or the ridicule of the Six Flavors Emperor Pills.

He was wondering why he was here and the person he was meeting was the Queen.

This does not mean that Empress Xiao was not qualified.

But this kind of operation is obviously not in line with etiquette.

Even among ordinary people, it is easy to be criticized for a single man and a single woman to live together.

What's more, the identities of the two people on the field at this time.

One male and one female.

Moreover, one is the queen in the harem, and the other is an external official commanding troops.

If this gets out, it won't be a good thing, and the consequences can be serious or minor.

Gao Changsheng didn't believe that Empress Xiao didn't understand the consequences of this matter.

But the other party still did it.

Moreover, in such a huge palace, there was not even a single palace maid or eunuch to serve.

Even Gao Changsheng felt a little nervous in such a scene.

He even suspected that someone was setting a trap for him.

But look at Empress Xiao's expression at this time.

It was obvious that this summons was his own idea.

This is undoubtedly even more confusing.

It is not difficult to understand that the emperor is very busy.

No matter how many things there are to do, it is impossible that I cannot even find time to meet with my ministers.

Even if we take a step back, even if we are really that busy, we can just postpone the meeting for a few days.

Why would the Queen have to show up in public to receive foreign officials?

Gao Changsheng lowered his head slightly, thoughts flickering in his eyes.

"Duke Qi, there's no need to be so polite!"

Empress Xiao slightly opened her red lips, and her white jade fingers stretched out from her phoenix robe and made a slight gesture in the air.

"I am a girl who has lived in the harem for a long time. I don't know much about the battlefield, but I have heard Your Majesty mention the Duke of Qi's ruthless act of destroying a country."

"Your Majesty has praised the general more than once, saying that the general is a young hero and will surely be a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty in the future."

Empress Xiao spoke repeatedly, her voice soft and charming, with a unique aura.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept your praise."

Gao Changsheng raised his head, glanced at Empress Xiao, and then bowed.

To be honest, Gao Changsheng had to admit that the queen's appearance was indeed stunning.

Recently, Gao Changsheng has met two women in total.

There is Daiqisi, whom I met in Changkou before, and the Queen Xiao in front of me.

Just talking about appearance and figure, Daiqisi is also stunningly beautiful.

It’s just that one has the style of the Western Regions, and the other is a beauty from the Middle-earth.

But what is most striking about Queen Xiao is not only her appearance, but her unique temperament.

She has the dignity and holiness of a mother of the country, yet is also mixed with a kind of graceful and alluring charm that is so alluring.

It can indeed make people become addicted.

Gao Changsheng's eyes moved slightly.

Although it was just a glance, he still caught an interesting emotion from the other person's body and eyes.

Gao Changsheng's eyes swept across the hall imperceptibly, and the corner of his mouth raised a hint of laughter, but it was quickly suppressed.

"General Gao, there's no need to be so modest." Queen Xiao extended her hand again.

"I think the general is also full of doubts about this summons."

Gao Changsheng raised his head again after hearing this.

Meeting his gaze, Empress Xiao's beautiful face broke into a smile, and then she opened her red lips again:

"General Gao conquered Goguryeo and made an unprecedented contribution to the Sui Dynasty."

"It is natural for His Majesty to meet you, the meritorious official, out of emotion and reason."

"It's just that your Majesty is busy with state affairs and can't spare the time. And you don't want the general to misunderstand you, so you asked me to summon you and express your apologies and gratitude."

"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. I died for my advice and I died for my battles. It is just my duty. I do not deserve such kindness from Your Majesty and His Majesty."

Hearing this, the smile on Queen Xiao's face became even brighter, like a beautiful rose, blooming completely here.

"At the same time, I summoned the general here for another matter. I want to discuss it with you and ask for your opinion."

"Ok?"

There was a gleam of light in Gao Changsheng's eyes.

He understood that this was probably the fundamental purpose of this summons.

This is also the real sex scene of this meeting.

Gao Changsheng didn't say anything.

Just look ahead.

Queen Xiao did not keep the secret any longer, and spoke one word after another through her red lips.

Listening to Queen Xiao's words, Gao Changsheng's eyes first flashed with a hint of doubt, then confusion, and then deep thought.

Time goes by.

Outside the main hall, there was total silence from beginning to end. There was no palace maid or guard within a radius of a hundred meters.

No one knew what the two people in the hall were talking about.

I don’t know how much time passed.

The palace door slowly opened, and Gao Changsheng stepped out of the hall with a thoughtful look on his face, and walked out of the palace.

In the hall, after seeing Gao Changsheng's figure disappear, Empress Xiao instantly relaxed.

The tender and juicy red lips opened slightly and exhaled a breath of foul air with a fragrance.

"Card wipe!"

Just at this moment, a clicking sound suddenly occurred on the wall behind the chair.

Then the huge wall slowly opened to both sides.

A figure slowly walked out from inside.

"Master!"

When she saw the person coming, Empress Xiao actually uttered two surprising words.

"It's not bad, but I'm still a little nervous."

The voice sounded.

This is also a woman, and from her appearance, it is impossible to tell her specific age.

But one thing is that her appearance is equally stunning.

At this moment, the two of them standing together did not look like master and apprentice of two different generations, but rather like a pair of twin sisters.

"He shouldn't have noticed anything unusual, right?" Queen Xiao was stunned when she heard this.

"Naive!" The woman opposite shook her head and scolded.

"Do you think Gao Changsheng is one of those ignorant young men who are just starting out?"

"Anyone who can make achievements in the art of war is definitely not a stupid person."

"What's more, Gao Changsheng is such a genius that it's no exaggeration to describe him as a man with a nine-orifice heart."

The woman shook her head:

"I'm afraid that she noticed something was wrong the first time she came in, but she pretended not to know because of your status as the queen."

"I'm afraid he has even noticed my existence."

"Ah? He can actually sense you, Master? How is that possible?" Empress Xiao was obviously shocked, her red lips opened into an O shape.

"Who do you think you're facing?" The woman rolled her eyes at Empress Xiao. "That's the man who killed Fu Cailin in person. He's only half a step away from becoming a grandmaster in both military and martial arts."

"Then Master..."

Empress Xiao looked a little flustered.

"Okay, it's nothing serious."

"He just caught a glimpse of my aura and doesn't know my specific identity."

"Besides, even if he is discovered, it's no big deal. He is a minister of the Sui Dynasty, and we are not enemies."

Hearing this, Empress Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good."

"Then Master, what do you think of Gao Changsheng? Is he..."

The woman couldn't help but pause when she heard this.

"A talent that is unrivaled in the world, a true genius who can dominate his generation."

"I never thought that Gao Jiong would have such a brilliant son."

"I thought Gao Jiong had already exhausted the Gao family's military luck, but now it seems that he has only just begun."

After sighing softly, the woman spoke again:
"But it's too early to talk about his specific situation at this time."

“But overall, he’s trustworthy.”

"King Kaoshan and Duke Gaotang both think highly of this boy, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"But, didn't you say that Gao Jiong and Yang Su..."

Empress Xiao asked doubtfully.

The woman shook her head: "The loyalty of the Nine Elders of Kaisui is beyond doubt."

"The entire Sui Dynasty was conquered by them one sword at a time."

"Gao Yangsu is certainly no exception."

"It's just that what the late emperor and the two of them planned back then was too important and too difficult, and the future is really uncertain."

"They both left a backup plan, just for the sake of their descendants." Empress Xiao nodded slightly.

"Ah...it's hard for you."

The woman sighed quietly.

Upon hearing this, Queen Xiao's delicate body trembled, and a hazy look unconsciously appeared in her beautiful eyes.

He called out to the woman softly, "Mother..."

Just two short words.

But if Gao Changsheng were here at this moment, he would definitely be shocked.

Mother!

These are not just two simple words.

Especially the person who was speaking at this moment.

Xiao Meiniang, Empress of the Sui Dynasty.

Someone she can call mother.

There is only one from beginning to end!
Empress of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, and mother of Yang Guang.

Dugu Jialuo.

The extraordinary empress who suppressed the founding emperor Yang Jian like a quail.

No one could have imagined that Xiao Meiniang, the Empress of the Sui Dynasty, actually had a secret master in the deep palace.

What is even more unexpected is that the identity of her master is actually the previous queen, Dugu Jialuo, who everyone thought had passed away long ago.

If any person from the Sui Dynasty were in the hall at this moment and heard Empress Xiao's words, they would probably be shocked.

Dugu Jialuo sighed again upon hearing this and reached out to touch the other person's hair.

"It's really hard for you."

"Royal power, country, family and the world will always attract heroes to bow down for them."

"The saying that emperors do not live forever weighs heavily on the heads of all emperors."

"But from ancient times to the present, it still cannot stop generations of men from coming forward."

"Once you reach that position, you are destined to fight for the country for the rest of your life."

"He back then, and Guang'er now, are both like this."

"This is their choice, and it is also our fate."

Listening to Dugu Jialuo's words, Empress Xiao's eyes unconsciously revealed a sad look.

There was also a look of pity in Dugu Jialuo's eyes.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on, and I believe that Your Majesty and the others will succeed." Empress Xiao's voice became firm.

"Yes, you are the Queen of the Great Sui Dynasty, you should have such momentum."

Dugu Jialuo waved and smiled, her domineering and heroic spirit evident in her every move.

"Of course they succeeded. Over the two generations of the Sui Dynasty, countless outstanding people risked their lives to do so. How could they not succeed?"

At the same time, a smile appeared on Empress Xiao's face.

The two generations of queens smiled and displayed their charm freely.

One is heroic, one is charming, one is holy, and one is noble.

For a moment, the entire hall seemed to be influenced by this splendor and was stained with a layer of light.

It’s a pity that no one can see such a beautiful scenery.

"Mother, do you think Gao Changsheng will agree?"

After a long time, Empress Xiao spoke again.

"I can't confirm that this kid is just a little fox. I really don't know how the Gao family trained him." Dugu Jialuo shook his head.
"Then do we need to continue meeting other people?" Queen Xiao asked again.

"No need for now. There is no need to meet the rest of the people in Daxing City for the time being."

"Besides, King Kaoshan and Lord Gaotang have not returned yet. If something goes wrong, I am not suitable to come forward, and I am afraid you alone cannot suppress it."

"As for whether Gao Changsheng will agree, there will be a reply after a while."

"It's better to delay it for now until King Kaoshan returns. If Gao Changsheng still hasn't received any news, we can ask these two to persuade him."

"Even if something happens, we can still choose the right person when the time comes."

"Okay, then I'll listen to mother and put this matter aside for the time being." Empress Xiao nodded.

Dugu Jialuo did not continue to speak, but took a few steps forward and glanced at the distance:
"From today on, you must be more careful in everything you do and think twice before doing anything."

“No one and nothing can be judged by appearance alone.”

"Although there is a Patron King in the court, and I have your help in the palace."

"But there will always be unexpected things. King Kaoshan may go to war at any time, and I may not be here one day. When that time comes, you will only have yourself to rely on."

"The Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo and spread its power across the world. The court and the country seemed to be peaceful and prosperous, but only those who were interested knew how many storms were hidden beneath the surface."

"The imperial court, the aristocratic families, even the Jianghu and the martial arts world, God knows how many people are plotting against this."

After saying this, Dugu Jialuo turned around and glanced at Empress Xiao:
"I think Zhu Yuyan should have sent someone to contact you, right?"

Empress Xiao nodded, and no one knew what she was thinking of, but a hint of red appeared in the corners of her eyes, making her, who was already charming, even more seductive.

Dugu Jialuo, who had her back to Empress Xiao, did not notice this subtle change. She just shook her head and smiled contemptuously.

"After so many years, the Yin Gui Sect still uses those unpresentable tricks. No wonder it has been suppressed by its old rival, Cihang Jingzhai."

"If it weren't for the Blood Hand Li Gong holding up the cards, I'm afraid they would have been swept into the ditch by Cihang Jingzhai and wouldn't dare to show their heads."

Empress Xiao did not interrupt.

The Yingui Sect has always been keen on placing people in the palace and betting on the ownership of the country.

Zhang Lihua, the enchanting concubine of the Southern Chen Dynasty, was a disciple of the Yingui Sect.

It’s just that the disciples of the Yingui Sect are proficient in seductive means. After entering the palace, most of them seduce their masters, and the final result is often a tragic ending.

Empress Xiao herself did learn the Yingui School's martial arts.

But she herself, as a descendant of the Southern Liang royal family and a princess of Western Liang, was of extremely noble birth.

Although he practiced martial arts, he did not actually join the Yingui Sect and did not have much affection for the sect.

"Forget it. You have lived in the palace for a long time and don't know much about the affairs of the martial arts world."

"Afterwards, I sent someone to clean up the harem to prevent these people from jumping around all the time."

In the imperial palace, two generations of queens were discussing secrets.

On the other side, Gao Changsheng had already returned to his mansion.

The Qi Mansion is undoubtedly much more lively today than before.

It's not just the increase in the number of people in the palace, but more importantly the change in atmosphere.

The Duke of Qi's Mansion used to be deserted, and the entire compound, including the old soldiers stationed inside, was filled with a sense of decadence.

But now the situation has completely reversed.

For the merit of destroying a country, he was awarded the triple honorable position.

Almost everyone is certain that as long as Gao Changsheng does not die prematurely, he will definitely be the number one person in the future Sui army.

So since the imperial edict was issued that day.

It can be said that I have never heard of anyone giving gifts or delivering visiting cards.

Especially those who came to propose marriage, there were so many of them that the threshold of Gao’s mansion was almost flattened to the ground.

At the age of only 20, he held such an honorable position, holding both the powerful position of Zuo Wuwei and the title of Duke.

All these things put together make Gao Changsheng a golden son-in-law in the eyes of every family, making everyone drool with envy.

Even though it was already dark, there were still crowds of people outside the mansion, and it was very lively.

Of course, this situation will definitely not affect the inner house.

Mansion, study!
Gao Changsheng sat quietly in front of the desk.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, obviously thinking about today's events.

I don’t know how much time passed until a voice was heard outside.

"Master! This old slave requests to see you!"

This is Gobber's voice.

Same scene, same sound.

However, compared to the past, the situation has obviously changed a lot.

Gao Changsheng's eyes moved, and he spoke softly:

"come in!"

"This old slave has met the young master!"

"It's so late, what's up Gobber?"

There was no light in the study.

But in such a dim environment, Gao Changsheng's eyes appeared unusually dazzling.

Gao Bo, who had just entered the room, saw the two bright lights almost at first sight.

"Young Master..."

Gao Bo's face showed an extremely complicated expression.

Gao Changsheng did not urge him, but just waited quietly.

After a long while, Gao Bo finally made up his mind and spoke slowly:
"What I want to talk about is Yang Xuyan's matter."

"Oh?"

Gao Changsheng snorted lightly, with no intention of interrupting.

Gao Bo did not pause and continued:
"Master, you also know that I was once a member of your personal guard."

"My master was the crown prince's guardian for a period of time. During that time, I stayed in the Eastern Palace for a period of time, and led some training for the Eastern Palace with the Royal Guards."

Gao Changsheng nodded: "Go on!"

"Later, the crown prince was deposed, the Eastern Palace lost power, and overnight, everything turned upside down."

"The master couldn't bear it, so he saved a portion of the prince's bloodline."

"And it was this old slave who secretly sent the child away!"

Gao Changsheng smiled lightly:
"So, my Gao family is Yang Xuyan's savior?"

Gao Bo's body trembled when he heard this. He could certainly hear the sarcasm in Gao Changsheng's words.

"So, this is why you held back and secretly helped the other party escape?"
