The entire Cining Palace was shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Wu Zetian was silent.
The palace maids panicked.
Only Gu Yuan, who said this, was still looking at Wu Zetian with curiosity and hope.
It was as if he didn't feel that what he said was so shocking and earth-shattering!
After a long time.
Wu Zetian said calmly, breaking the silence.
"You are all old people by this widow's side. You did not hear anything at this widow's and His Majesty's family banquet tonight, do you understand?”
The palace maids kneeling on the ground nodded their heads crazily like chicks pecking at rice.
"You may leave."
"There are some things that you'd better keep to yourselves. If this widow hears it from somewhere else, then don't blame this widow for not remembering our old friendship.”
Wu Zetian said coldly.
There was no warmth in his voice, causing the entire Cining Palace to feel a little cold.
These palace maids were Wu Zetian's trusted aides and were worth trusting.
However, there were some necessary warnings that he had to remind them of.
The palace maids retreated.
Until there were no outsiders in Cining Palace.
Wu Zetian slowly turned his head and looked at Gu Yuan.
"Yuan 'er, tell this widow honestly, who told you about the idea of being in power behind the curtain?”
There was a hint of coldness in her tone.
Obviously, she thought that someone was stirring up trouble behind the scenes and scheming against the royal family.
And Gu Yuan was just a chess piece pushed out by the mastermind.
Gu Yuan pretended to be ignorant and shook his head.
"Mother, what do you mean by this? No one taught me!"
"The idea of inviting mother to listen behind the curtain was completely thought of by this child.”
"I've been staying in Golden-dragon Palace these days. The first person I see when I go out is my mother!”
Wu Zetian nodded slightly.
These days, she had been paying attention to Gu Yuan's movements.
Gu Yuan had indeed not come into contact with outsiders.
In that case, Gu Yuan had indeed thought of the idea of listening to politics from behind the curtain.
It was purely because of the complicated government affairs that they were forced to this extent!
He just wanted to play tricks and find a helper.
This was in line with Wu Zetian's understanding of Gu Yuan.
Thinking of this, the frost on Wu Zetian's face dissipated a little as she said softly.
"Yuan 'er, this widow understands your thoughts and suffering.”
"However, you must know that the Great Gan Dynasty's ancestors had left behind an instruction that the harem should not interfere in politics.”
"If this widow listens behind the curtain, it is not a matter of etiquette. This widow cannot help you with this matter.”
Gu Yuan waved his hand and said.
"Mother, times have changed.”
"I really don't have the ability to handle the government. Without mother's help, I definitely won't be able to hold on.”
"When that time comes, the government will be in a mess. Not only will I lose face, but our ancestors will also lose face.”
"What's the use of this etiquette?"
At the same time, he tried to persuade her.
Gu Yuan was also using the True Dragon Eye to observe Wu Zetian's thoughts.
He saw the change in Wu Zetian's mentality clearly.
A woman like Wu Zetian naturally wasn't willing to submit to others. She also had her own desire for the highest authority.
Previously, he had no chance and could only suppress his ambition.
But now, with Gu Yuan taking the initiative to suggest it, it was perfectly justifiable for her to listen to the government from behind the curtain and participate in the political affairs.
The ambition that had been hidden for a long time naturally began to awaken again.
However, this was not a bad thing for Gu Yuan.
The greater Wu Zetian's ambition was, the greater the possibility of persuading her to come out of the mountain and fight to the death with that old fox Lin Guotai!
After Wu Zetian defeated Lin Guotai, Gu Yuan's strength would also develop.
At that time, he would not have to be afraid of Wu Zetian's greed for power. He would just invite her back to the palace.
This was the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf!
Ge Lin Guotai was the wolf, and Wu Zetian was the tiger!
Wu Zetian lowered her head in silence.
It was obvious that he was also having an intense psychological struggle.
A moment later, she raised her head and said in a deep voice.
"This matter is of great importance, this widow needs to consider it.”
Gu Yuan nodded.
He no longer urged her.
He did not expect to succeed with just one visit.
In the simulator, it took him several months to convince Wu Zetian!
Wu Zetian would definitely be criticized for being a woman.
She had to think carefully about the pressure from all sides.
Right now, as long as he could plant a seed of desire for power in Wu Zetian's heart, it would be enough.
The mother and son chatted for a while.
Gu Yuan stood up and left.
Looking at Gu Yuan's back, Wu Zetian's gaze was complicated.
He fell into deep thought.
......
He walked out of Cining Palace.
Gu Yuan let out a long breath.
Wu Zetian's aura was too strong.
Gu Yuan was also under a lot of pressure talking to her.
Moreover, he still had to put on an act in front of Wu Zetian, pretending that he was not scheming.
This was extremely taxing on his mental energy.
Gu Yuan walked toward the Golden-dragon Palace while counting his gains.
Just as he stepped into the imperial garden.
A beautiful figure appeared in front of him.
Dressed in a beautiful palace dress, she stood tall and slim.
As she stood there, a fragrant scent assailed her nose.
"ChenQie greets Your Majesty!"
