Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Liang Qian didn't explain much, but took out a thin booklet and placed it in front of Song Tan.

"Which location is chosen for the store, what is sold specifically... it's all roughly recorded here. You can read it first, and you'll have an idea."

"Location?"

Song Tan opened his mouth wide, even more surprised. He picked up the booklet and flipped through it from beginning to end. The more he read, the more shocked he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it became.

"Did you send someone to Zhou Kingdom specifically?"

"I guess so." Liang Qian picked up the tea and took a sip. After all, she didn't just wander around every time she went out.

Wang Tingyue's eyes were uncertain.

"That's not right," Song Tan snapped the booklet shut and stared at Liang Qian, "Isn't the war over? And you're from Qi - why would you want to go to Zhou?"

He spoke in a low voice, trying to suppress his excitement.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to ask what happened to the fire at Zixiao Temple. I've been asking people about it, and they all said that you were recuperating in the palace. How did you suddenly go to Tuyang? You guys really confuse me..."

Liang Qian and Wang Tingyue looked at each other.

Wang Tingyue explained: "I think some things are better for you to say."

Liang Huan nodded.

Song Tan was furious and pointed at Wang Tingyue, not knowing what to say.

Liang Qian spoke lightly about Tu Yang who was kidnapped by the men in black, when he was found by Wang Tingyue, and how he went there, as if he had just gone on a long journey. She did not mention anything about the Zhou Kingdom, and even selectively skipped over Yuwen Jue.

Even so, Song Tan was still frightened when he heard it.

"…What about the princess?"

Liang Qian glanced at Wang Tingyue, her expression unchanged: "I left her in a very safe place, but I was always worried about you guys."

She was always afraid that if something changed in Jin Ye, it would affect them. After all, Gao Qian could find out the relationship between Song Ji and her, so it would not be difficult for others to find out as long as they paid attention.

Song Tan didn't care: "We are all fine. My brother wanted to come with me, but I refused. Jinye has been in turmoil these days. He has been there before. I was afraid that someone might have seen him, so I rarely let him go out. Feng Ting and Qiu Xi are also doing well..."

Speaking of Feng Ting, Liang Qian frowned.

"Don't tell them about the plan I just told you about. Just tell someone to do it quietly."

Song Tan smiled: "A plan succeeds with secrecy, but fails with disclosure. I understand!"

Liang Qian couldn't laugh. This arrangement didn't mean she was going to Zhou State, but was a worst-case scenario. Just in case... she wanted to prepare a place for them to stay in advance.

"You just said that Jinye was not peaceful, but what happened?"

Song Tan leaned forward and said, "I heard that the prince fell into the water at night. He was rescued, but he is very ill. We still haven't found out who did it. The queen mother was afraid of another accident, so she took care of him herself."

After that, he talked about Cao and Zhou, and mentioned that Prince Guangping had been very arrogant recently and was domineering in Jinye City. However, the Queen Mother, who had always disliked him, did not reprimand him for the first time, and even had a closer relationship with him...

After she finished speaking, Liang Qian's heart grew heavier.

The situation was very unfavorable. Gao Yang's fall into the water was certainly not an accident. Gao Yi was probably waiting for the news of Gao Qian's death.

As for the Queen Mother, she should still wait and see.

Liang Qian then asked him about his usual dealings with high-ranking families such as the Cao and Zhou families, and Song Tan told her everything.

Liang Qian had an idea in mind.

It’s getting late and we have other plans for tomorrow.

Liang Qian put aside her worries for the time being and rubbed her temples. She was physically and mentally exhausted in the past few days and she should have a good rest tonight.

Song Tan frowned and picked up the booklet beside him, looking quite distressed.

Liang Qian said casually: "If you don't know much about Zhou State, you might as well ask Feng Ting, he might be able to help you."

"Feng Ting?"

"I seem to have heard him say before that there are distant relatives over there."

"it is good……"

Liang Qian looked at Wang Tingyue with some guilt. Feng Ting was Yuwen Jue's man, so it would be right to ask him about the affairs of the Zhou Kingdom.

She said no more.

Song Tan sighed softly: "If it was the previous Lord Zhou, I could have made a long journey, but now this new emperor..."

Liang Qian knew that he had concerns.

Indeed, some things are easier said than done.

However, although she had never met Empress Dugu, she had heard from Xiao Qianyi that she was a docile and gentle person who managed the harem in perfect order, and there was no jealousy at all. After the death of the crown prince, she was unable to get pregnant again, but she still treated the other princes as her own. During the flood control period, she even took out her annual salary to provide disaster relief.

As for Yuwen Jue——

She didn't want Yuwen Jue to know her plan, but even if he did know...

After thinking for a while, he said, "There shouldn't be any problem. Although the young emperor will succeed to the throne, the ones who really make the decisions are the empress dowager and the ministers."

Song Tan was stunned: "Little Emperor?"

Liang Qian was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Song Tan smiled: "I heard that the King of Qi is quite old, and he has several wives and concubines——"

Liang Qian was stunned: "What did you say?"

Wang Tingyue was also surprised.

Seeing their expressions change, Song Tan didn't know whether he should continue speaking and stepped back.

"You...you guys have no expression on your face, don't you know?" He looked at the booklet in his hand, even more confused, "I thought you--"

Liang Qian interrupted in a deep voice: "Are you saying that the newly enthroned Zhou Jun is, the King of Qi?"

Song Tan looked at the two of them and nodded slightly: "Yes, I think his name is Yuwen Jue. It is said that he has been in poor health since childhood, but who knows? Anyway, it is quite strange that he did not pass the throne to his own son, but gave it to-"

Before she could finish her words, Liang Qian stood up straight.

Wang Tingyue wanted to say something but stopped.

Song Tan was surprised and suspicious: "You, what are you doing..."

Liang Qian shook her head and smiled faintly: "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

After saying that, he walked out with a wooden face, forgetting even to take the umbrella that was placed aside, his head buzzing.

Yuwen Yun died suddenly, and then, he, he actually——

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, with big raindrops falling one after another, splashing water continuously.

Liang Qian walked down the stairs, and the accumulated water wet her silk shoes embroidered with lotus flowers.

"Ah Huan——"

There was someone holding an umbrella behind me, catching up with me.

Liang Qian turned around and saw Wang Tingyue.

There was concern in his eyes and his lips moved.

Perhaps because the rain was too loud, she could not hear clearly what he said.

"Don't worry, brother. I'm fine. I'm just a little sleepy. I'll be fine after a good sleep. You should go back soon too!"

Liang Qian took the umbrella from him with a smile.

Wang Tingyue took a step forward, but ultimately did not chase after him. He just watched the person in the rain gradually walk away and disappear into the night.

The sky is especially dark on a rainy night.

When Liang Qian said she was tired, she was really tired. She returned to her room and fell asleep immediately, and didn't get up until noon the next day.

It’s good to be in your own territory, no one can control you.

It’s up to you whether to obey or not.

After Liang Qian finished washing up and having her meal, she opened the door and saw a person standing in front of her.

"Are you going to go find him?"
