Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Seeing Wang Su lying on the ground, the jailer's face turned pale. He came to his senses and knelt down in front of Lu Xiu. As soon as he knelt down, the jailer and guards also knelt down.

The jailer almost cried: "Da Sima, the case of Wang Su secretly minting coins has not yet been concluded. If the superior wants to mention someone again, what should the subordinate do -"

Lu Xiu stood up and put his hands in his sleeves. His eyes were as cold as frost, forcing him to retract what he had not finished.

He only turned his face slightly, and the guards immediately understood and grabbed the jailer and walked out. As soon as they left, several jailers also lifted up Wang Su and followed them, and the room returned to its previous quiet state.

If it weren't for the eye-catching pool of blood on the ground, I would have thought nothing had happened.

Lu Xiu's eyes stopped on her face, "I thought you would care about your old relationship."

The tone was particularly disappointing, as if the play he just watched was not satisfying at all.

Liang Huan threw away the bloody sword in his hand, "My lord, I may have remembered it wrong. Wang Su and I only have hatred, but no love."

"Who said Wang Su was wrong?"

Lu Xiu tilted his head and looked at her curiously, his slender eyes were shining, but they were as dark as the deepest night.

"Who are you referring to, sir?"

Liang Huan stood quietly, feeling more and more uneasy instead of feeling the pleasure of revenge. Did Lu Xiu let her come to Dali Temple Prison just to see how she killed someone for revenge?

Liang Huan didn't believe it. With the tyrant's temper, he could only kill Wang Su in a few days, so why bother?

What's more, she just told him that when the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should not show off our bravery for a moment, but need to borrow a knife to kill someone.

But after saying this, he turned around and put the knife into her hand. Like a hunter, he has already dug a trap and is standing by with great interest, watching how she falls into it step by step.

The corners of his lips raised: "Of course it's Wang Tingyue."

Liang Huan's heart tightened, it turns out he was waiting for her here!

Unexpectedly, he didn't even mention it, but he still knew about it!

Liang Huan tightened her sleeves and pretended to be relaxed: "To be honest, sir, I am indeed familiar with Wang Xiaolang, but this is just a childhood friendship, how can it be compared with a blood feud?

That day in Yulinyuan, when I was serving you as the master, I also said that except for you, other people have nothing to do with me, and I don't care. How can I still have any old feelings! "

Lu Xiu looked at her and nodded slightly: "But how did I hear that Wang Tingyue helped you escape capture that night? Oh, and one more thing, you may not know yet. On the day they arrested Wang Su, they were in Sikong Mansion. Wang Tingyue was found in the dungeon."

Dungeon? !

Wang Yansheng had a violent nature, and he usually used his status as a direct descendant to find ways to bully him. This time, in order to help him escape, he fell into the hands of Wang Yansheng. I really couldn't imagine what kind of torture he would suffer in the dungeon.

Liang Huan's heart felt like someone had pinched her heart. The pain made her want to squint her eyes, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Seeing the expected reaction, Lu Xiu narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. He liked to see her being so forbearing and restrained. In such a delicate and slender body, there was a hidden anger that was ready to explode, just like surging under the calm water. undercurrent.

Such a contradiction yet so consistent, Lu Xiu slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Thinking about it this way, Prime Minister Cao took over Sikong Mansion and saved his life. Otherwise, he would have died in the dungeon!"

Yes, wasn't that why you desperately wanted Prime Minister Cao to take action that day?

Liang Huan said calmly: "Whether he can be saved or not is another matter. His death is only a day early or a day late. Wang Su's private coining is tantamount to conspiracy. He and his family are all going to be executed in the city." As a warning to others, since he was lynched, rather than lingering for one more day, it is better to die early and avoid suffering again!"

Lu Xiu pretended to be surprised: "At least he helped you escape. How can he be so ruthless?"

Liang Huan raised her eyes to meet his gaze and said in a cold voice: "My lord, have you forgotten? I put my life in your hands just for revenge. How can such a desperado be a sentimental person?"

"But it's different now. Your revenge has been avenged. Wang Su is dead!" He looked at her and smiled slightly, but this smile was like the cold wind on a rainy night, chilling his heart.

"Your Excellency, you have forgotten again. I once said that I have some knowledge of medical skills. If the sword is moved an inch to the side, he will definitely die. But now, he is just comatose from excessive blood loss, but his life and death are really determined by fate."

Liang Huan lowered his eyes: "Didn't your Excellency also notice it? Otherwise, why would you order someone to check?"

Lu Xiu was silent, only arching his eyebrows and looking at her carefully.

Silence is default.

Seeing it, he almost smiled: "Don't you say you are ruthless? Why are you still showing mercy?"

He thought he was taking Wang Tingyue into account and that's why he didn't kill Wang Su?

Liang Huan shook his head: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Since I serve you as my master, revenge is important, and your safety is equally important. The reason why I didn't kill him immediately was not for others, but just for your sake."

Lu Xiu was surprised: "For me?"

Liang Huan ignored the sarcasm in his eyes and said calmly: "I don't hide some things from you, sir. At the Peach Blossom Banquet, I promised to help Liang Jiao because I was sure that Wang Su would make things difficult for his uncle about the marriage. He is a man who will retaliate for his anger. I wanted to please you in public. It makes him feel doubly embarrassed, and he will definitely look for opportunities to humiliate him.

And the birthday banquet is the best opportunity! I heard that Cao Jun would come to celebrate his birthday. The Cao family and the Wang family had some grudges in the past, but it was not clever for them to use the name of birthday celebrations to secretly investigate Wang Su's coinage. "

In his previous life, Cao Jun used this method to find the secret seal. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Wang Su had an insight into their intentions early on and cooperated with him in a play. After many twists and turns, the secret seal obtained was a fake and was instead planted. He was charged with framing an important minister and intending to commit rebellion.

Liang Huan continued: "In order to cater to Wang Su, Zhaoheng deliberately tampered with me while I was dancing. I took advantage of the situation and took this opportunity to remind Cao Jun and told him that I would deliver what he wanted later."

Lu Xiu sat back down and frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Liang Huan smiled: "Aren't you asking me why I didn't go to Mr. Lu when I got strong evidence, but handed it over to Mr. Cao instead?

Now, the answer to not killing Wang Su is the same. I don't want to put the Lu family in danger because of my own selfish desires, thus affecting your lord.

Wang Su has already been punished by death and cannot escape. I can wait, but if I really kill him, how will you explain to the Lord when you return to the palace soon? "

Liang Huan could see clearly that he was wearing official uniform. It was early in the morning, and there was no other possibility except to come here under the emperor's order.

Lu Xiu looked at her with an imperceptible smile: "Is there more?"

"I also know that Your Majesty ordered you to come here specifically to check because of your doubts about Mr. Cao. In this case, I can't kill him, otherwise Your Majesty will be jealous of Your Majesty."

Lu Xiu smiled: "You are loyal to me."

Liang Huan's eyelashes fluttered: "Of course, you are my protector. I wish you well more than anyone else!"
