Before Liang Huan crossed the threshold, the person on the dragon chair looked up.

For some reason, whenever he came to Tai Chi Hall, he would always be found staring at the door. Liang Huan frowned, as if he had been waiting for someone.

Cui Hao held Yao Pan and Yuan Zhi and stepped aside.

Liang Huan walked a few steps away and stopped to salute. After he straightened up, he asked, "I wonder why Your Majesty summoned my concubine?"

She kept her eyes lowered, not looking at him.

Gao Qian glanced at her face, coldly.

Since that day, her attitude has been almost the same as before, except for the proper etiquette.

It's easy to ignite his anger.

Gao Qian looked at her again, curled his lips and smiled coldly. After all, he had fallen in love with him. He really thought he wouldn't do anything to her now -

"Yuan Zhi, send the newly made incense to the Lord."

Liang Huan tilted his head to the side and gave a calm order.

Yuan Zhi stepped forward, but saw Gao Qian's cold eyes coming over, and stopped to look at Liang Han.

Liang Huan didn't realize it, but he seemed to have expected it: "I'll do it."

Yuan Zhi quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the high seat. Perhaps Concubine Shu was favored for a reason.

From beginning to end, she obviously didn't see anything, but she knew everything.

Liang Huan took the Yao plate from Yuan Zhi and walked straight towards the person on the main seat.

Gao Qian looked at him calmly.

Her fair cheeks and slightly drooped eyelashes looked so obedient. Only he knew what kind of stubborn soul lived under this soft and delicate body.

It's both love-hate and love-hate.

The more he looked at it, the more irritated he became.

"Liang Huan."

"Ok?"

She put down the Yao plate and knelt down opposite him naturally, without looking at him. She just lowered her head and concentrated on the silk ribbon. Her slender fingers gently smoothed the black silk knot, which was very beautiful.

"Don't rush it, it'll be ready soon. This is a new one. I was wearing the one before and it always looked a little weird."

She explained and sorted it out.

Without raising his head, he only stared at the things in his hands. He didn't even realize that speaking to the emperor like this was disrespectful, but for no reason, the irritability in his heart disappeared.

Gao Qian watched and waited quietly.

Just like every time he waited for her in Tai Chi Hall, no matter what he did or where he stayed, she could always find him and accompany him.

Gao Qian was slightly absent-minded.

She quickly packed it up and raised her eyes again: "Can I put it on for Your Majesty?"

He was respectful and polite again, not as casual as before.

Gao Qian just nodded and looked away.

With his permission, Liang Huan stepped forward and took off the jade pendant from his waist.

It looks like a jade pendant, but it actually contains a secret.

Gao Qian sat up straight. She fastened the jade pendant very gently, and her scent filled her nose. In fact, he couldn't tell whose scent it was. After all, hers was the same as his.

His gaze inadvertently glanced at a place, and a figure with a bowed head and waist came into view.

Suddenly, an idea flashed across her mind. She must have served Cui Hao and Lu Xiu like this in the past.

Even more will be done.

She can make Lu Xiu so obsessed with her, so she must be giving him what she has always asked for -

The inexplicable irritation that surged up was even worse than before.

The fire in Gao Qian's heart grew stronger and stronger. Was she willing just because Lu Xiu saved her on the street?

He lowered his head and pinched her wrist.

No matter what happened in the past, in the future...

"Your Majesty?" The man with his head buried in his head raised his eyes in surprise, moist and bright.

Gao Qian looked into her eyes with a hint of hesitation: "If you come to Tai Chi Hall that day, I will promise you immediately, right?"

Liang Huan was stunned for a long time before she realized what he was talking about.

She smiled, lowered her head, and continued to tie the jade pendant for him with a very soft voice.

"No one should help anyone. It is lucky to meet someone who is willing to help. It is normal to meet someone who refuses to help. After all, no one owes anyone anything."

After Liang Huan finished speaking, he fastened the jade pendant, put away the jade pendant he took off, handed it to Yuan Zhi who was waiting aside, and stepped away again.

Between them, it was never about whether they provided help that day, but about all the insults and injuries that followed.

Gao Qian said nothing, and his expression was the same as usual. The question just now was really unlike him.

The atmosphere was a little dull.

Liang Huan asked at the right time: "Why did your Majesty call me here?"

Gao Qian suddenly came to his senses, leaning back slightly, with a gloomy look on his eyebrows, and pointed at several boxes of exquisite workmanship and precious materials placed in the hall.

"Concubine Shu is pregnant, those are the congratulatory gifts from Lord Zhou."

Liang Huan was startled and looked back.

As soon as she entered the palace, she saw it and didn't take it seriously. Who would have thought that it was given to her by Northern Zhou Dynasty.

He gave her so many treasures in Tongli Town that day because he was grateful for the city defense map of Pingzhou City.

Now, this has no beginning and no end, why should I give her a gift?

Liang Huan's heart trembled. Could it be that they knew that this child was Lu Xiu's and still planned to let this child...

impossible.

Bei Zhou didn't know how long she was pregnant.

Liang Huan slowed down and looked at Gao Qian again: "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding? No reward for no merit, I don't dare to accept this gift casually."

Gao Qian was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked towards several boxes: "It was written by Zhou Jun himself. There is no possibility of misunderstanding."

Liang Huan gritted his teeth and looked at it, his heart beating like a drum. He should not think that he had become a masterpiece of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

But where did Gao Qian dig up the body with the sachet and hair bundle?

If she was in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, wouldn't she also be suspected?

probably not.

Liang Huan calmed down and could not get into chaos before he understood the situation.

Just as he was sorting out his thoughts, he listened to Gao Qian's words.

"I guess they just found a random excuse."

Liang Huan woke up and Gao Qian ordered someone to open the box. The moment the box was opened, there was a sound of gasping. It was indeed full of gold and silver treasures.

Even a high-potential person is surprised.

Such a generous act is really arrogant.

Liang Huan was even more panicked. They were afraid that others wouldn't know. Has she contacted them?

She pursed her lips and could only follow Gao Qian's words.

"Your Majesty, does he know why they want to find an excuse?"

Gao Qian turned around and nodded slightly: "Concubine Shu, I don't know, but the reason why the Northern Zhou Dynasty retreated its troops may be related to the civil strife."

Liang Huan frowned: "Civil strife?"

Gao Qian thought for a while and said: "The new king of the Northern Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne, but in fact the emperor has always been in power behind the scenes. However, I recently received news that the emperor is lingering on the bed and will die soon. The new king is weak and may not be able to compete with the Jin Dynasty Duke Yu Wenke. To compete with each other, if we take advantage of the chaos and send out troops at this moment, they will definitely have no time to take care of them."

I did hear something about it in Pingzhou City that day, and Northern Zhou Dynasty seemed to have scrawled a few words in the secret letter to Lu Xiu.

Liang Huan asked tentatively: "Then will your Majesty send troops?"

Gao Qian glanced at her: "Of course not, Gu's top priority now is——"

Liang Huan understood and wanted to get rid of the Queen Mother's control as soon as possible.

As expected, not to mention his disapproval, who among the civil and military officials in the dynasty would agree?

Liang Huan still felt that something was wrong. When the two sides were fighting, the Qi army was already at a disadvantage. The Northern Zhou army was stronger, so there was really no need for such a move.

"Will the Zhou Dynasty change?"

Gao Qian unconsciously raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "If the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty returns to the west and Lord Zhou confronts Yu Wenke alone, the throne will be in danger. But King Yu Wenjue of Qi, who has been claiming to be ill and recuperating in Yin Yue Mansion, suddenly returns to Luo'an. It is said that The emperor has cultivated a secret force for Zhou Jun for many years, so it is difficult to say."
