Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

She instinctively wanted to take a step back, but before she could act, she felt a chill on her wrist and someone suddenly pulled her into a cold embrace.

His straightened body blocked the setting sun, and with it came a dangerous and huge shadow, which enveloped and wrapped her entire body in just a moment, as if she was being unceremoniously dragged into a hell without sunlight by an invisible hand.

Liang Qian felt cold all over and struggled stiffly.

But he didn't look like a sick person at all. His arms clamped around her tightly with astonishing strength.

"Let go!"

Deeply buried memories are being unearthed.

Liang Qian couldn't help but tremble, and the tail end of her voice trembled.

Gao Qian remained unmoved and hugged her tightly.

"Don't move, just for a moment, just a moment..."

He was like a heavy mountain, stubbornly trying to suppress her under it, but his tone was no longer cruel and domineering, but instead contained a hint of pleading.

Liang Qian was stunned and almost forgot to resist. She only remembered that he was like this when he was unconscious last night.

It was also at this time that his muffled low laughter came from above my head, sounding like both joy and sorrow.

"I know you have always hated me, but you don't know that, in fact, I have always hated you too."

Liang Qian was frozen like a stone.

Gao Qian stepped back a little, lowered his head to look at her, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

They were clearly very close and intimate at the moment, but he knew very well that a huge gulf had been drawn between them with hatred and blood.

Just like two people standing on a hilltop, they look very close, but are actually very far away. No matter who takes a step forward, they will immediately fall to pieces.

Gao Qian smiled. No, only he would take this step. If it wasn’t for the purpose of killing him and saving those people’s lives, she would be afraid that it would be too late to escape from him.

Liang Qian's heart trembled at Gao Qian's laughter.

Gao Qian seemed unaware of it. He closed his eyes and hugged her tightly. He stayed there for a short moment and quickly withdrew from her like a dark cloud blown away by the wind.

But in a flash, he returned to normal, smiling slightly and looking at the person who was staring at him in a daze.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go."

Liang Qian looked down at the bloodstained silk handkerchief on the ground, then looked at the figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance, and clenched her fists in hatred.

This madman was about to drive her crazy.

It was not until he walked onto the busy street and was disturbed by the noisy voices that the ice deep inside his body began to melt away little by little.

Gao Qian walked towards another street, not going back to his residence.

Liang Qian chased after him and lowered her voice: "What exactly are you going to do? Aren't you afraid of encountering soldiers again?"

Gao Qian didn't look at her: "Buy some biscuits first, then go to the restaurant."

Liang Qian couldn't stand it any longer and didn't intend to continue to go crazy with him, so she hurriedly grabbed the man.

"You don't like these, why do you insist on--"

Gao Qian raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.

Liang Qian understood. He would not be willing to give up until he had fully vented his anger today.

"Okay, let's go."

She nodded resignedly.

I bought two packs of biscuits, both made with milk.

In the old restaurant, each of them carried a heavy bamboo lunch box.

From beginning to end, Liang Qian was nervous, afraid of running into soldiers again. Fortunately, nothing happened. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, Gao Qian grabbed her hand and walked to the left.

Liang Qian took a deep breath: "Where else are you going?"

Gao Qian glanced at her calmly, and said in a very friendly manner: "The soldiers are already suspicious of us, let's move to another place."

Change residence?

Liang Qian looked up at the sky. The sun was already setting.

"So suddenly? I'm afraid it will be hard to find it in a short while..."

"I've already found it."

After Gao Qian finished speaking, he pulled her to a carriage and stopped.

This is totally prepared...

Liang Qian looked at the carriage and the two unfamiliar faces in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and felt that everything today was very abnormal.

"What on earth are you——"

Gao Qian handed the lunch box in her hand to the person next to her: "If it's later, there will be a curfew, but--"

He paused, then smiled and said, "If you ask me for an order, I will grant it."

Without further ado, Gao Qian carried the man onto the carriage.

The carriage swayed and finally arrived at the destination before curfew.

Liang Qian stared blankly in the twilight.

Shangnan Garden is located in the upper reaches of the Si River. It was a villa built by the previous Emperor of Wei for banquets and entertainment. Later, the previous emperor ordered people to rebuild and improve it. However, it gradually faded out of people's sight. At least Gao Qian has never held a banquet here, and even the Caiqing Banquet has not been held since some year.

The once bustling Shangnanyuan has long been forgotten by everyone.

Like everyone else, she once thought her life was wasted.

But this one in front of me, with the twinkling palace lanterns...

Gao Qian slowly walked to her side and asked, "Have you been here?"

Liang Qian pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

“I came here a few times when I was very young.”

Gao Qian nodded slightly and seemed to smile.

Liang Qian looked at Gao Qian in confusion: "Why do you want to--"

Gao Qian sighed and pulled up her hand from under her sleeve: "Come with me and take a look. I haven't been here for a long time."

Liang Qian was led inside by him.

Shangnanyuan is very quiet at night.

The sunset has passed, and only the palace lanterns can light the way forward.

There are fragrant trees and grasses on both sides of the road, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

Pavilions, waterside pavilions, flower beds, corridors...

Liang Qian looked over slowly, and those distant memories seemed like plants reviving.

Gao Qian pulled her to stop in front of a thick poinciana tree.

He let go of her hand and walked over to sit on the stone bench by the veranda.

This situation——

Liang Qian's brain exploded, and her feet seemed to have grown roots. She stood still, looking at the person on the stone bench, almost unable to move.

The dim palace lanterns hanging in the corridor could not illuminate his face clearly, but she could still clearly see Gao Qian smiling faintly at her.

Amid the chirping of insects and frogs, she still heard his cold tone.

"I once ordered people to seal this place off. Do you know why?"

Liang Qian bit her lip and had no words to say.

Gao Qian stood up and walked towards her step by step, but his eyes were not looking at her, but looking around.

Then, he pointed to the royal poinciana tree nearby and said with a smile, "Later, I simply lit a fire here and burned down the entire Shangnan Garden. Do you know why?"

Liang Qian narrowed her eyes, looked up at him slightly, and pursed her lips tightly.

On the day of the Caiqing Banquet, she followed her grandfather and father to Shangnan Garden.

But that day they arrived a little late.

When they arrived, the banquet was already full of people drinking and the atmosphere was very cheerful and lively.

She glanced around and didn't see Feng Qingyue and Wang Tingyue, so she wasn't surprised.

After all, what adults think is funny may not be what children find funny.

The children around her couldn't sit still, and neither could she. She had finally gotten out of the house, so how could she possibly stay in one place obediently?

Fortunately, the adults don't restrict them.

She planned to look for Feng Qingyue and Wang Tingyue.

When she passed by the corridor, she saw several young men in fancy clothes laughing at another sickly young man...

Gao Qian fixed his gaze on her face and smiled faintly.

"Liang Qian, you don't believe what you say."
