Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Wang Tingyue was held in solitary confinement.

His injuries were not light, but seeing him today, he seemed to have recovered well and was in better spirits than expected.

It can be seen that Yuwen Jue not only did not make things difficult for him, but also took good care of him.

"Ah, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

Wang Tingyue had his hands and feet shackled, and he looked worried through the fence. Some words of comfort came to his lips, but he didn't dare to say them, for fear of making her sad.

He hadn't seen her for more than ten days and was anxious. The image of her covered in blood kept appearing in his mind.

Liang Qian nodded: "I'm fine now, don't worry."

Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, he took another step back.

The voice was loud: "General Wang, take care of yourself too."

Wang Tingyue looked at her in silence. Although she looked much thinner, there was light in her eyes.

Liang Qian looked around again, but saw no one. She looked through the gap in the fence and said in a low voice, "He promised to let us go."

Wang Tingyue was surprised.

I am a general of the enemy country. How can I let him go justifiably when he was captured alive in public?

He used to be the Grand Marshal Lu Xiu of Qi State, but now he is the King of Qi Yuwen Jue of Zhou State. Although he is not sure what happened to this identity change, how will it end if people know that he let them go?

Besides, why did she want to leave? Would he really let her go? Where could she go...

Wang Tingyue was full of questions.

Unfortunately, before she could ask, Liang Qian left first.

Not long after he walked out of the place where he was imprisoned, he met the imperial physician who was coming towards him. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying a large medicine box.

If he were to walk outside, people would think he was just a traveling doctor with a kind face.

"Where are you going, teacher?"

Chen Dechun smiled and pointed in the direction she came from.

Liang Qian understood that this must be to see Wang Tingyue.

She just asked a few simple questions and said that with his treatment, there would be no problem.

Seeing that she was in much better spirits in the past two days, Chen Dechun reminded her to take her medicine on time and did not stay with her for long.

Liang Qian stood there without moving. It rained heavily last night and the air was still humid in the morning. Now, feeling the cool breeze, her heart felt clearer.

She tried to hold it back but couldn't help it, so she turned around and said, "Teacher."

Chen Dechun stopped and turned around, with no surprise on his face: "Princess, what else?"

Liang Qian looked at the people following her, and they automatically stepped aside.

She then stepped forward and said, "The day the teacher left Danxi Villa, he asked me a question. Today I also have a question I want to ask the teacher."

Chen Dechun smiled and stroked his mustache, "Princess, please speak."

Liang Qian said: "Let alone the fact that people call me a demon and a disaster, even now I am still the Queen of Qi in name, so it is reasonable for Lord Zhou and Emperor Wen not to allow me to be with him, but why, teacher..."

Chen Dechun smiled at the plain-clothed man in front of him and asked, "Princess, do you know why Emperor Wen insisted on letting His Highness return to Luo'an?"

Liang Qian looked at him and didn't answer.

Chen Dechun said: "Your Highness has had a rough life, and the person that Emperor Wen felt most indebted to in his life was Emperor Xiaoren."

Liang Qian was silent. In the past, she might have thought that Yuwen Heng was so infatuated with the Queen Mother that he was willing to be torn into pieces by five horses. But now, judging from the posthumous title of "Xiao Ren" bestowed upon Yuwen Heng by Emperor Wen, she was afraid that it was not as simple as it seemed.

She did not forget that Cui Hao was able to go to Renshou Hall because he deliberately imitated Yuwen Heng, which shows that the Queen Mother may not be completely ruthless towards Yuwen Heng.

Liang Qian sighed slightly. True and false, who used whom? I'm afraid that in the end, even I won't be able to tell the difference.

Her mind was almost drifting away, but she heard Chen Dechun say again.

"In addition to the reasons for Emperor Renxiao, Your Highness has been a man of deep thoughts since childhood, and has been wandering between the two countries for many years. This forbearance and calmness alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Add to that the performance during the war... How could these not be valued by Emperor Wen?"

Liang Qian remained silent. Apart from anything else, even if Emperor Wen of Zhou did not value Yuwen Jue, he would not let him continue to stay in Qi and be an enemy of Zhou.

Of course, it would be best if it could be used by them.

Chen Dechun gazed into the distance and sighed, "It is true that Emperor Wen has his own considerations and plans, but in the six months I have been with Your Highness, I often feel that among all the princes and grandchildren, Your Highness is the only one who resembles him the most in terms of his cunning personality and his way of doing things."

Liang Qian lowered her eyes and said nothing. At first, Lu Xiu didn't dare to say anything, but it was natural for him to get along with Emperor Wen. After all, he was the Grand Tutor Lu who had controlled the government for many years...

Seeing that Liang Qian had remained silent, Chen Dechun said, "Your Highness may have satisfied Emperor Wen and Great Zhou, but this may not satisfy the people of the world—"

Liang Qian was slightly surprised. What did this mean?

Chen Dechun smiled gently and kindly: "Princess, don't you realize that His Highness only looks like a man of his age when he is with you?"

Liang Qian sighed secretly. He had lived two lives, two completely different experiences, and was naturally different from his peers.

Chen Dechun sighed softly: "A doctor's heart is kind, and he doesn't necessarily rely on medical skills to save people."

Liang Qian was stunned and looked at him blankly.

Chen Dechun smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, Princess, I have some selfish motives. After all, I was just a traveling doctor at first. Looking back at the past few decades of busy work, either in the court or in the military camp, I am really tired. In the end, I still want to be a traveling doctor and travel around the country."

He glanced at Liang Qian meaningfully, then left with the large medicine box on his shoulder without stopping again.

Liang Qian's gaze turned to the flying eaves he had just looked at.

This statement sounds like a non-answer to the question.

But she vaguely understood.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and the sun was busy going in and out of the golden-rimmed clouds.

*

Three days later at night, men in black set fire and launched a surprise attack, kidnapping two important prisoners of war who were being held in the prison in Lianzhou City.

The royal consort Sima Bo and the Marquis of Jingning's son Xiao Jingnan personally led people to hunt him down, but unfortunately they failed to capture him.

After investigation, it was found that it was done by people from Qi.

There was an inconspicuous carriage and a few fast horses parked on the secluded path.

There is a cool breeze in the forest and the moonlight is bright above our heads.

Gao Qian just glanced at Yuwen Jue and walked towards the carriage. Wang Tingyue clasped his fists and bowed without saying anything more.

When Liang Qian came to her senses, she and Yuwen Jue were the only ones left.

Yuwen Jue just kept looking at her without saying anything.

Liang Qian stared at the ground, lowering her gaze further and further until she could only see the tips of her shoes.

It is true that they would not be alone together unless necessary these days, and even in the few times they were alone, they were always polite to each other. In the end, there was a grudge and estrangement between them.

He really wasn't just him, and she really couldn't continue to pretend that he was just him.

Putting aside the pretense during the day, I now feel a little lost.

Liang Qian was silent for a while, then she opened her mouth: "Xi'er, please——"

please?

Yuwen Jue's chest tightened: "Okay, don't worry."

Liang Huan nodded.

I don’t know what to say, so I just won’t say anything.

She took a few steps back, turned around and left.

Yuwen Jue looked at the figure that was about to walk away, squinted his eyes, and finally couldn't help but: "Xianxian——"

The voice behind me was particularly cold and clear due to the evening breeze.

"Do you regret saving me?"

Liang Qian paused and looked back at him. Their eyes, which had been avoided all night, finally met at this moment.

She was silent for a moment, then left.
