The corners of Liang Huan's lips curled up slightly, and he didn't speak. He just looked at him silently, his eyes moist and translucent, with a bit of amusement.

What Gao Qian wanted to say, he swallowed it back without any reason, and looked at her quietly. If there was no hatred between them, what kind of agreement would they have in this new life.

He likes to be her support and confidence in bullying others, and he also likes to be able to provide him with some plans when she makes trouble.

At least it proved that she was on his side.

Gao Qian let go of the chess piece on his fingertips, held her with one hand, and caressed the white and soft texture of his palm, making his heart soften.

In fact, he wanted more.

But if it really doesn't work, it's okay to be like this now and tell her clearly and plainly.

Although this is just a means to gain his trust, from another perspective, doesn't this mean you are sincerely trying to please him?

As long as he didn't break the bottom line, he wouldn't hesitate to give her everything she wanted, and he would even be satisfied with the excitement she showed when her conspiracy succeeded.

But thinking about it, he couldn't help but expose her: "When was the poison administered?"

Hearing this, Liang Huan unconsciously sat upright, raised his eyebrows, and looked at him pretending to be surprised: "Has your Majesty noticed it?"

Seeing her making such a fuss, he couldn't help but laugh, and his mood became better and better: "If it weren't for a whim, wouldn't the yokan have to be drunk alone?"

Yes, it would be so easy to poison him.

Liang Huan pursed her lips and asked him, "Your Majesty didn't ask this question until now. Doesn't it mean he already knows the answer?"

After revealing her thoughts, Gao Qian was not annoyed at all, but instead smiled at her.

She was admitting in disguise that even if there was a chance, she would not harm him.

As he looked at her, a smile gradually appeared in his eyes, and he nodded and admitted, "If you didn't poison Gu Shang's soup, where did you plan to throw it?"

Liang Huan had no reservations: "When did I say that the poison was in the soup?"

Gao Qian was slightly stunned, narrowed his eyes, and became interested.

Liang Huan smiled faintly at him: "On the spoon."

This answer exceeded Gao Qian's expectations. He blinked his black eyes and the corners of his lips curled up.

"Where is the Guanyin statue? Concubine Shu will never say that it has nothing to do with you, right?"

It is said that Zhao gave it to him as a token of loyalty.

Liang Huan knew that if the twists and turns here were not explained clearly today, he would not be willing to do so.

"I heard that jade can be divided into soft and hard. The soft kind will break after being squeezed and frozen, and suddenly exposed to heat. I tried it, and it was true."

"In the past, they allowed me to be slandered by rumors and rumors. Now, I just treat others in their own way and give them a pot in return. No more, no less, impartial, very fair."

Liang Huan lowered his eyes.

Fame has long been irrelevant to her, but they are different.

Liang Huan saw clearly the despair in Cao Luyun's eyes when he heard everyone discussing the matter of reconciliation before he died.

Killing requires killing one's heart. Otherwise, how can a mere body be enough?

Gao Qian picked up the chess pieces, with a slight smile on his lips: "So you also arranged the Mu Banquet in advance? Don't tell Gu that you didn't see him before the birthday banquet."

Liang Huanluozi paused for a moment, opened his mouth, and looked at him with a helpless frown.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that before rescuing me from the Hall of Renshou that day, I asked the Queen Mother for the antidote?"

Gao Qian nodded slightly.

Liang Huan paused for a moment and said truthfully: "Before leaving for Pingzhou, the Queen Mother force-fed me poison."

She didn't want to tell Gao Qian about feeding the poison, because Gao Qian didn't know Lu Xiu's identity as Beizhou Xiu. If this was put aside, the reason why the Queen Mother wanted to kill Lu Xiu was too weak.

There's no guarantee it won't make him suspicious.

But if he deliberately concealed it, the gain would outweigh the loss. Now he could tell him that the Queen Mother had poisoned him, which would further confirm that his poisoning was related to the Queen Mother.

What's more, with so many pairs of eyes in the palace, you can always find out who has been where and who you have seen as long as you are willing to check carefully.

It must not be a secret that she has met Mu Yan.

Besides, her kindness to Mu Yan attracted his attention. In addition to considering Mu Yan's safety, she also needed to strengthen the authenticity of Mu Yan's testimony that day.

Liang Huan said: "After I came out of Renshou Hall, I was panicked, scared, and uneasy. I didn't know why I walked to a quiet courtyard, and then I met Mu Yan. He just thought I was unwell and wanted to help me, but he even fell down. He gave me some tea. But it was only for a brief moment, and I didn’t even know his name."

Liang Huan added: "I was also surprised to see him again at the birthday banquet. After getting along with him these days, the more I felt that he might be the person I was looking for before, so I naturally paid more attention to him."

After hearing her explanation, Gao Qian nodded and said, "I can't blame him for suddenly breaking into the palace. You were afraid that Jiang Wei would kill him."

He also remembered that she was confused for a moment when she heard Mu Yan's name. It didn't look like she was pretending.

When Liang Huan was thinking about how to answer the reason why the Queen Mother wanted to kill Lu Xiu, she heard Gao Qianqian say calmly:

"I have already ordered someone to check. He did come from General Mu's mansion."

His attention seemed to be on Mu Yan.

Liang Huan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could let go, she heard him say again: "While I was checking Mu Yan alone, I unexpectedly learned something."

"What's the matter?" Liang Han couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but his tone remained calm.

Gao Qian smiled lightly and said unhurriedly: "Someone checked Song Mian for you."

anyone?

Lu Xiu helped her investigate Song Mian not in a day or two. Feihong treads the snow. Whatever he has done, no matter how he cleans it up, there will still be traces left behind.

Obviously, it was right to confess this to him.

Liang Huan: "Yes, I asked him for help and he agreed."

求?

This word was like a thorn, causing Gao Qian to squint his eyes.

Liang Huan seemed completely unaware. She gently tugged at the corners of her lips and raised her eyes to look at him: "Your Majesty, can you still play chess well tonight?"

Gao Qian squinted his eyes and looked at her quietly for a while: "Liang Huan, you have really changed."

Hearing this, Liang Huan couldn't help laughing and looked at him sarcastically: "Hasn't Your Majesty changed?"

Today's show of kindness is enough. In the rest of the time, you will have to disobey and provoke him a few times.

Otherwise, it’s too fake.

Liang Huan smiled: "As long as time lasts long enough, what can't be changed?"

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at him and focused on the chessboard. After all, the game had just begun, and it was just a matter of chance that she raised one or two pieces.

It is not known whether the speaker means it, but the listener does.

At first, she only had hatred for him in her heart. Later, she realized that she was just trying to please him, and she didn't hesitate to pretend to be in front of him for so long. Now...

Gao Qian was silent and stopped asking questions.

She just said it, as long as it lasts long enough.
