Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

No matter how bright the moonlight was, it could not reach the end of the road, and the carriage turned into a small dot and disappeared.

Yuwen Jue raised his head. He remembered that the moonlight in the mountains that year was also so bright.

Someone came forward from behind: "Your Highness."

Yuwen Jue nodded slightly: "You go."

The visitor bowed and said, "Yes."

After another while, Yuwen Jue also got on his horse and did not stop.

Before I even stepped through the threshold of the prefect's mansion, someone came towards me from inside the door. Just by the moonlight, I could tell that he looked very indignant.

Xiao Qianyi waited at the door for a long time, but no one came back, and she was very nervous.

She took two steps closer and said, "Your Highness, you can release Liang Qian, but how can you release Qi Jun and Wang Tingyue? You clearly know that Sima Bo and my brother are responsible for this matter—"

After a pause, he continued: "If this matter doesn't come to fruition, and if the master wants to punish me--"

Yuwen Jue didn't raise his eyebrows: "It's getting late, General Xiao should settle down earlier."

Xiao Qianyi was stunned for a moment. While he was talking, the other person had already passed her. Yuchi Yuan followed him like a shadow.

She gritted her teeth and chased after him: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell on you?"

Yuwen Jue paused for a moment and asked, "Are you sure the message can be delivered?"

Xiao Qianyi was stunned. Covering the sky with just one hand?

She stared at the back in confusion. He had clearly been at a disadvantage before, so why did he change so much overnight, especially after Liang Qian left Luo An.

If you think about it carefully, first clearing out the remnants of Yuwen Ke in the palace, and then eradicating Yuwen Ying's followers in the city... these are definitely not things that can be done overnight.

But it was indeed done.

If it could have been done earlier, why wait until now?

Xiao Qianyi took a deep breath and chased after him, only to see Yuwen Jue talking to the imperial physician.

When she saw the imperial physician's order, she suddenly remembered something.

Hurrying forward.

"Your Highness, you know that Liang Qian is deliberately playing a trick in front of you. If you don't believe it, just ask the imperial physician. It's obvious that she couldn't keep the child, but she deliberately wanted to hold on until you saw her and then miscarry."

Xiao Qianyi paused, then added: "I asked the Qi eunuch, Liang Qian has been taking pregnancy-preserving medicine."

The more she spoke, the clearer her thoughts became: "When you saw her miscarry that day, you gave in to her and didn't execute those who should be executed, nor did you pursue those who should be pursued. Now it's even better, you even let those who you caught go."

Then, he sighed heavily: "To tell you the truth, the reason why Liang Qian was able to come to Lianzhou from Luoan was because I helped her. Unfortunately, it was only when I arrived at the battlefield that I realized that she did it on purpose and had planned it all along!"

The cloud of worry that had just hung over Yuwen Jue's heart suddenly dissipated.

Doesn't she just want to take a gamble?

Then let her win.

He smiled and turned his head: "I know, so what?"

Xiao Qianyi was shocked: "Your Highness, how can you let the tiger go back to the mountain for a Liang Qian? Abandon the Great Zhou? Abandon the soldiers?"

Yuwen Jue walked into the house without looking back, a faint smile on his thin lips.

Xiao Qianyi was so angry that she wanted to say something else, but was stopped by someone.

She turned around and saw the imperial physician.

"Why doesn't the old man persuade His Highness? I have no objection if he wants to release Liang Qian, but Lord Qi——"

Chen Dechun said earnestly: "Girl, don't worry."

As they were talking, a horse neighed outside the courtyard gate. They both looked over and soon someone ran in hurriedly.

But in the blink of an eye, he leapt a few steps in front of them and walked into the door.

The people inside were panting.

"Your Highness, Luo An has an urgent report."

*

After traveling day and night for two days, they were not far from Meiling Island.

Liang Qian stood under the shade of a tree and looked into the distance, feeling extremely anxious.

Wang Tingyue and Xiao Wu went out to explore the way and never came back.

Qian Ming came over with a sheepskin bag filled with water and gave one to Liang Qian.

She waved her hand and refused.

Qian Ming gave it to Gao Qian who was sitting nearby to rest.

He looked very bad. His body couldn't bear the constant running around.

Gao Qian glanced at Liang Qian's face and asked, "Still no one is here to pick you up?"

Hearing this, Liang Qian reluctantly withdrew her gaze and said, "Yes, I promised Pei Yao that they would come, but they haven't shown any sign of me yet. It's not a good idea to keep walking like this."

Gao Qian had no expression on his face. He drank a few sips of water in silence and looked at Qian Ming again. Qian Ming understood and walked towards the carriage in the distance.

Liang Qian was puzzled: "Why did you send him away?"

Gao Qian pointed to a location nearby.

Liang Qian knew that he had something to say, so she sat down.

Gao Qian said bluntly: "Pei Yao is loyal to Qi, not to me."

Liang Qian was slightly surprised.

What he said makes sense.

During the days that Wang Tingyue was imprisoned, he completely lost contact with Jin Ye. The Queen Mother did not know whether Gao Qian was dead or alive, and they also did not know the situation in Jin Ye.

However, Jin Ye might not have been unaware that the Zhou army had captured Gao Qian and Wang Tingyue.

If he really knew, Gao Yi would definitely take this opportunity to ascend the throne.

With the new emperor, can Pei Yao dare to welcome Gao Qian back?

Seeing that Liang Qian didn't say anything, Gao Qian asked again, "Liang Qian, do you know why he let me go?"

Liang Qian met his eyes and understood everything.

Once the news of Gao Qian's disappearance and whereabouts unknown spread back to Jinye, he would immediately become a discarded pawn, and even if he was really alive, it would be the same as being dead.

Besides, his body is indeed...

Gao Qian took another sip of water and looked at her again: "Why do you insist on following me?"

Liang Qian frowned and corrected: "It's not that I will follow you, but that I will take you away."

Gao Qian laughed: "What's the difference?"

Liang Qian looked towards the direction of Meiling Island again. The difference was huge!

Gao Qian shook his head and smiled: "Can I assume that you prefer being a queen to being a princess?"

Liang Qian frowned and glared at him: "Do you think that every woman wants to squeeze into your harem or backyard?"

Gao Qian was stunned for a moment, then started laughing, and while laughing he started coughing uncontrollably.

Liang Qian stepped forward and grabbed his wrist. Just as her fingers touched his pulse, Gao Qian pulled his hand back and looked at her seriously.

"Liang Qian, please go back. I am at the end of my rope. There is no point in you staying."

Liang Qian wanted to speak, but was interrupted by him waving his hand.

"Listen to me. I know what you are thinking and why you want to go back. If I were still healthy—"

Halfway through his speech, he started coughing again.

Liang Qian looked at him in silence.

Because of the Gu, her miscarriage this time actually affected him to some extent.

After Gao Qian stopped coughing and slowed down his breathing, his breathing gradually became stable, but the sickly red color on his pale face did not fade.

Liang Qian glanced at the road ahead, then looked at him.

"Gao Qian, do you regret it?"

Gao Qian smiled softly and raised his eyebrows: "Do you regret throwing away the medicine? Or do you regret saving you?"

Liang Qian frowned slightly.

Gao Qian's eyes were fixed on her face.

"Liang Qian, I know that in your eyes, I have always been a fickle tyrant. Now, I am once again a tyrant who lets beauty ruin the country in their eyes. If there is a next time, I hope you will come to me sooner, or I can be a wise ruler with a broad mind."

He was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "If I have to say what I regret, then I only regret one thing, not earlier, earlier..."
