Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

The Renshou Hall is heavily guarded.

As soon as Liang Qian stepped over the threshold, she smelled a strong medicinal aroma.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Empress Dowager will have to be immersed in the fragrance of medicine all year round.

Liang Qian walked into the inner hall slowly and steadily, her footsteps landing on the stone bricks.

When the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the hall saw her, they bowed their heads respectfully.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother."

Liang Qian didn't look away, just raised her hand slightly: "Everyone, get up."

The palace maids and eunuchs thanked him and moved to both sides.

Liang Qian took two steps forward, raised her hands to her eyebrows, and bowed respectfully to the person on the bed.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

Someone snorted coldly, and the look he gave me was as chilly as the northwest wind.

Liang Qian stood up, raised her eyelashes slightly, and said softly, "Does the Empress Dowager feel better?"

"Liang Qian, stop pretending!"

Lu Chen's angry face was filled with sickness: "How dare you to detain me!"

Liang Qian smiled slightly, and didn't rush to reply. She glanced around and sat down on a soft cushion beside her.

Then she raised her eyes and looked over: "Grand Empress Dowager, you have misunderstood? Detention? How can this be detention? I asked them to protect you. You also know that the late emperor was poisoned by the traitor. If the late emperor had not risked his life to save you, I am afraid you would have died. How dare I not be more careful?"

Lu Chen was furious and sneered, "You call it protecting my safety, but in reality you are just preventing information from being communicated between Renshou Palace and the outside world. Liang Qian, these little tricks of yours are not worthy of my respect!"

Liang Huan laughed it off.

At this time, palace servants served tea.

Liang Qian glanced at it indifferently, took it casually, gently lifted the lid of the cup, and the aroma of tea wafted out along with the hot steam.

She lowered her head and smelled it carefully, and a smile appeared on her lips: "This is a good cup of tea."

Just as the palace maid was about to leave, Liang Qian called her and returned the teacup in her hand to her.

"You made a great tea. Here's a reward for you."

Liang Qian was speaking to the palace maid, but her eyes were fixed on the person on the bed.

The palace maid's expression changed again and again. She glanced at Lu Chen's face secretly, took the cup with trembling hands, and almost shook out a few drops of the scalding hot tea.

Liang Qian pursed her lips and smiled, saying with interest: "Drink it while it's hot."

The rim of the cup almost touched his lips. The palace maid gritted her teeth and knelt down with a plop.

She lowered her head, sweat dripping from her forehead: "Please spare my life, Queen Mother!"

Liang Qian laughed softly.

This smile made the person on the bed look pale.

"What a useless piece of shit!"

Liang Qian raised her hand and a palace maid presented her with a book.

She took it and placed it on the table in front of her. She flipped through it and said, "I came here today for two reasons. One is to visit the Empress Dowager, and the other is to help clear the sick air from the Renshou Palace so that I won't feel uncomfortable living here when I move in."

Lu Chen was furious: "How dare you!"

Liang Qian didn't even look at her, and handed the book to Jinlan: "Those whose names are crossed out here will be dragged outside the Renshou Hall and beaten to death."

Jinlan took it.

The palace servants and eunuchs in the Renshou Hall all turned pale, and immediately started crying and weeping, then fell to their knees and kowtowed for mercy.

Liang Qian shook her head and smiled: "I gave you a chance last night, but you were really... Since you are so loyal, then go and serve the late emperor. You must know that loyalty must be used in the right place."

After saying that, she waved her hand, opened the book, and read out each name she read.

Soon, there was wailing throughout the Renshou Hall.

Lu Chen was so angry that she wanted to stand up, but she didn't have any strength at all. She was staggering and couldn't get up at all.

She pointed at the person sitting calmly, her chest heaving with anger, her fingers shaking: "How dare you?"

Liang Qian pursed her lips and sneered, "This is for the good of the Grand Empress Dowager. You have worked so hard for so many years, you should take a good rest. The late emperor was filial and did not want you to suffer, but I think you should enjoy a few more years of peace and happiness, otherwise it would be a pity."

Lu Chen was like a burning flame, scolding: "You, you bitch, I should have killed you long ago!"

Liang Qian suddenly laughed: "You have killed someone, but you didn't kill him. Duke Weiguo Lou Jing insisted on killing me. Is it really none of your business?"

Lu Chen was slightly stunned and his body stiffened for a moment.

Liang Qian raised her eyebrows: "Why? Is it because of Yu Wenheng's letter, or because of my birth date?"

Lu Chen's eyes changed, and he was incredulous: "You, how do you know..."

Liang Qian smiled faintly: "Do you know that Yuan Shaoyu is Yuwen Heng?"

Lu Chen stared at her in a daze.

Liang Qian said calmly: "Perhaps, I know more than you expected. By the way, there is something I wonder if you are curious about. After thinking about it, I decided to tell you in advance so that you won't be too surprised and unable to accept it."

Lu Chen glared at Liang Qian fiercely.

Liang Qian smiled and said, "It is said that the current Lord Zhou is a descendant of Emperor Xiaoren of Zhou. If I remember correctly, this Emperor Xiaoren is Yuwen Heng. I heard that he never married in his life. But if he didn't marry, how could he have a son?"

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly widened, his expression extremely ugly: "Could it be him...it was him...you lied to me at the beginning, he, he is not dead——"

When she heard that Yuwen Jue, the King of Qi of Zhou State, was the son of Yuwen Heng, she ordered people to investigate secretly. However, after several inquiries, they said that he was born to Yuwen Heng's concubine and was raised in Yinyue Mansion. Although she was suspicious, even the people of Zhou State believed it, so she had to believe that besides her, Yuwen Heng did have someone else and secretly gave birth to a son.

Liang Qian paused for a moment and looked up at her: "I am not lying to you, it is his fate. Everything has a cause and an effect. Maybe you planted this cause many years ago."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

How could it not be?

If you think about it carefully, all of this was caused by Lu Chen.

If Lu Chen had not used Yuwen Heng, Yuwen Heng might not have died tragically. If he had not left that letter before his death, his father-in-law and father-in-law would not have died. If they had not died, why would she have been trained as a prostitute by Liang Cheng and even given to Wang Su, and why would she have wanted to escape out of desperation and fallen into an abyss from which there is no return...

As for high potential——

Liang Qian pursed her lips and said, "I guess the children are just tools for you to fight for power and profit, right? One is useless, so you kill him. The other is still useful, but you drive him into a madman."

She took a breath and smiled slightly: "I'm really curious, every time he was sick, why did you never go to see him, was it because you couldn't bear it, or didn't dare?"

"Shut up!" Lu Chen glared at him with a fierce look.

Liang Qian stood up, looked around Renshou Hall with a cold gaze, and nodded slightly: "Since the Empress Dowager likes Renshou Hall so much, she will live here for the rest of her life."

After a pause, he added: "Perhaps, the day you go out again, this day might change."

After Liang Qian finished speaking, she no longer looked at her and made a gesture to go out of the hall.

Lu Chen was hysterical: "Stop! You——"

Liang Qian turned around and sighed softly: "I think you still have to see him again."

Having said that, I will not stop.

Liang Qian stood at the entrance of Renshou Hall, slightly raised her face, with the sun shining above her head.

"Queen Mother."

Liang Qian shifted her eyes and saw that it was the imperial physician.

She took out a small bottle from her sleeve and handed it to him, then spoke slowly, "The Empress Dowager lost two sons in succession. Her condition has worsened and she is now unconscious. She needs to rest well..."

The imperial physician took it and turned to enter the palace.

Liang Qian looked into the distance quietly, and the sounds of doors and windows being closed were heard behind her.
