Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

"What is this doing!"

The moment the tip of the knife was about to pierce his skin, Cao Luyun felt pain on his wrist, the world spun, and he fell heavily.

The grand master's face was cold and deep, and the captain of the guard took the sharp blade and retreated to one side with his head lowered.

The people outside the door were all kneeling on the ground in fear and were silent.

The Grand Master said angrily to the indifferent person on the side: "If I don't stop you, will you watch her die?"

Lu Xiu didn't answer, and there was no need to answer.

Action is attitude.

Everyone was even more afraid. The Grand Master had never been angry with Da Sima.

People inside and outside heard nothing except Cao Luyun, who was lying on the ground sobbing.

After a long time, the Grand Master sighed tiredly.

"She can't go back to the prime minister's house these days."

The man sobbing on the ground didn't bother to wipe his tears, and tried to steady his breath: "But something happened to father and brother?"

"There was a mutiny in the army. This matter has wide implications." The Grand Master glanced at Lu Xiu and said, "Let her move to the East Pavilion first."

Lu Xiu was expressionless and silent.

Cao Luyun got up and trembled involuntarily: "Master, my father and brother——"

"You are not allowed to interfere in this matter," the Grand Master said again, "Mrs. Cao, if you have everything you need, you will definitely be lacking, and if you have the extreme, you will have the opposite."

Then he turned to the crowd of people kneeling at the door.

"You guys take good care of me. If something goes wrong again and the service from above is not good, then go down and take care of me."

Go down...to serve?

Everyone lowered their heads, their hearts trembling.

This is threatening her with everyone's lives.

Cao Luyun was in tears and stood stiffly on the spot.

Lu Xiu went out with the Grand Master.

In the courtyard, the lights are lit and the cold wind is felt.

"Did you know that once I—" the grand master sighed, he glanced at the person next to him angrily, "sometimes I can't tell, which one of them does your temperament resemble?"

Lu Xiu remained silent.

If he could, he wouldn't want to be like anyone!

"That's all," the Grand Master shook his head and walked forward alone, "You are all grown up and you all have your own ideas."

Lu Xiu was silent.

After a while, there was a soft sound.

"Have Aweng...persuaded him?"

The figure paused slightly, and finally continued to move forward, leaving only the sound of the wind.

The lights inside the house flickered.

Liang Huan sat in front of the desk, holding her chin with one hand and unconsciously flicking the lamp wick back and forth with the lamp hairpin.

When he heard the noise, he looked up again and saw that Lu Xiu was covered in a layer of frost, but it was real frost.

"How long have you been standing outside?"

Liang Huan grabbed the fur on the side. Before he even got close, he could feel the cold air coming from his body.

She wrapped the person in fur and looked at the cold-red ears.

"What happened again?"

Lu Xiu said nothing, only stared at her quietly.

Liang Huan hesitated for a moment, then reached out to cover his ears, coldly.

"Wear something thicker before going standing."

The tone was a bit unkind.

She was fine when it snowed that day, but he really had a fever again.

When he gets sick, she has to take care of him, which is very annoying!

Lu Xiuxiao nodded slightly, "Okay."

Every time she saw this kind of smile, she would get angry and wanted to take her hand back. Unfortunately, before she could do it, she was held down by a pair of cold hands, followed by even colder lips.

Liang Huan closed her eyes as if eating a piece of ice.

He hadn't eaten a few bites of dinner, and it was late at night, so Liang Huan gave him a bowl of warm bean porridge, along with some snacks and side dishes.

Liang Huan looked at him: "She might as well move to Dongge."

Cao Luyun may only be thinking about being the Grand Sima's wife, but after all, she is surrounded by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they are all talkative. It is inevitable that they will say something intentionally or unintentionally because of what they saw, and the disaster it will cause is not trivial.

Being in the same yard can make people feel uneasy.

It was precisely because of this that she severely punished those chatty servants.

Lu Xiu glanced at her and stopped talking.

He just said: "She can't go back to the prime minister's office because of the mutiny in the army. Cao Jun is involved in this matter. I'm afraid that this time the prime minister's office-"

"Mutiny?"

Liang Huan was greatly surprised. This did not happen in his previous life. However, at this time, the Cao family was also accused of slandering Wang Su...

Liang Huan was confused: "Why did it happen?"

Lu Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then said calmly: "The military pay will not continue."

Liang Huan frowned. Although Gao Qian was cruel, the national treasury was not so depleted at present. The army's salary was not sustainable. It should not be ruled out that someone was embezzling and embezzling. Cao Jun had an upright nature and would definitely not do it. We don't know about others, but maybe Someone did it on purpose——

Could it be that Lu Xiu was so resistant to marrying the Cao family because he knew that the Cao family would be where he is today?

Liang Huan thought for a while, dipped in tea and wrote something on the table.

Before she could look over, she heard a chuckle from the person next to her.

"not me."

It's straightforward.

In this way, Liang Huan became interested and raised her eyes to look at him, "Do you know who it is?"

Lu Xiu was silent: "Besides me, there should be someone else, but I don't know their identity."

This north side really spares no effort.

Liang Huan turned his head and glanced at the person next to him, silently sighing, who would have thought that the Grand Sima of Southern Qi would be from the Northern Zhou Dynasty? No, he is still serving two masters, so he can only be regarded as neutral...

Lu Xiu: "This may not be what happened over there."

Liang Huan nodded: "There is serious internal fighting here."

The Southern Qi regime has been in chaos and division since the generation of the late emperor, and was controlled by various crony forces.

After Gao Qian ascended the throne, the Queen Mother listened to the government behind the curtain for nearly ten years. The Lu family, Wang family, Lou family, Cao family and others took the opportunity to interfere in politics, resulting in more dispersed power.

Such internal strife is not a good thing for Daqi.

Under long-term high-pressure control, Gao Qian desperately wanted to get rid of the Queen Mother.

In addition, Gao Yu was the most powerful rival among the princes, and he had the support of the Lou family and the royal family.

High potentials are naturally suspicious and violent.

He wanted to get rid of the Lu family, but he didn't dare to trust others, so he could only target Lu Xiu, who had not yet taken power.

How could he have thought that the carefully selected Lu Xiu would completely turn him into a puppet?

Lu Xiu put down the bowl in his hand and looked at her: "It's the same everywhere."

When it comes to imperial power, how can there be no fight?

It's not that Liang Huan doesn't understand.

"You still have to choose a side in the end, otherwise neither side will tolerate you."

After speaking, look at him secretly.

In fact, what she wanted to say was that if he was willing to choose Northern Zhou, then she could also...

There was just one thing she couldn't understand: the hatred for killing her father was irreconcilable.

But Lu Xiu didn't have any hatred for the Lu family.

Could it be that since Mr. Lu raised him, he could let go of his hatred?

How did Yuan Shaoyu feel about entrusting his child to——

No, when Lu Xiu was seven years old, Yuan Shao Yucai failed in his coup and died.

He gave his child to the Grand Master seven years ago. Was he planning to die early in the morning?

Is this Grand Master really not afraid of the danger of raising tigers?

Liang Huan sighed.

It's a pity that Yuan Shaoyu tried so hard to conceal Lu Xiu's existence, but he was still noticed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he followed his old path again...

Thinking about it this way, in his previous life, Lu Xiu had all the power in Qi, and he was freed from the control of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Liang Huan raised his eyelids slightly, "You are really a dangerous person!"

Lu Xiu smiled lightly and hugged her: "Isn't it the same for you?"

Liang Huan leaned in his arms, yes, of the two of them, one wants to kill the king and the other is a craftsman, so how can they not be considered dangerous?

She raised her head slightly and looked at him. Maybe the name Yuan Shaoyu was also fake, right?
