Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

In the middle of the night, Liang Qian was awakened by Jin Lan.

Seeing Jinlan hesitating, she put on her clothes and went to the side hall without saying a word.

Although the west hall of Taiji Palace had been cleaned up, for safety reasons, she still let Gao Yang live in the side hall of Hanguang Palace.

Gao Yang naturally resisted and wanted to move to the Taiji Hall as soon as possible, but Liang Qian disagreed.

After all, the emperor couldn't prevail against the empress dowager.

When Liang Qian arrived at the side hall, there were palace servants and eunuchs kneeling at the door.

As she stepped over the threshold, she couldn't help but take another look, as the scene seemed familiar.

The palace was a little chilly at night in early winter, making the room even quieter.

When Liang Qian entered, there was only one lamp lit in the inner hall.

She took a quick look around and found that everything was in its original place.

This is much better than high potential.

As she was thinking about this, a low scolding sounded over there.

"All of you get out of here."

Liang Qian frowned and looked over, and half a person was vaguely visible behind the bed curtain.

She took a few steps towards the bed and saw Gao Yang wrapped in a quilt, curled up in the corner of the bed.

"emperor."

Liang Qian stood beside the bed.

Hearing her voice, the curled up person was slightly startled but didn't look up.

"Your Majesty, please go back. I'm fine. I just had a nightmare."

Liang Qian could tell that although he cried with a nasal voice, his tone and attitude were very restrained.

Gao Yang is young, but not stupid. He knows that he needs her protection and support for his life and the throne.

Therefore, no matter how much he hated and rejected her in his heart, he still remained respectful and polite on the surface.

The disobedience, difficulties and insults she had expected never happened.

In front of others, he would ask for her opinion on everything and act out a loving mother and filial son scene with her.

Liang Qian looked at him quietly for a while, then sat down on the edge of the bed and spoke softly.

"Last winter, your father lived in this room."

Hearing this, Gao Yang raised his head and saw a thin figure facing him.

Liang Qian stared at the candlelight on the table and said calmly, "It was also one night. I was sleeping in the middle of the night when I suddenly felt someone standing in front of my bed. I didn't want to open my eyes to see, but it turned out to be your father."

She paused and continued, "I was shocked at the time. I didn't know why he didn't sleep in the middle of the night. He told me that he had a bad dream and wanted me to talk to him until he forgot the dream and went back to sleep..."

Gao Yang's eyes turned red and his voice became hoarse: "Are you... showing off to me?"

"show off?"

Liang Qian sighed, turned to look at him, and said with a tired tone: "Why should I show off to you?"

Eye contact.

There was grievance and hatred in his eyes.

"Everyone knows that you are my father's favorite concubine? He even deposed my mother for you——"

Gao Yang turned his head away, gritted his teeth, tried not to shed a tear, and said no more.

Liang Qian looked at his profile and sighed, "You look a lot like your father, but your personality is like your mother."

No matter how hard he tried to hold it back, a tear still flowed down the corner of his eye.

Liang Qian thought about it carefully and said calmly: "Gao Yang, from now on, no matter what you ask me, I will tell you the truth, including the grievances between me and your mother.

Rather than letting you speculate secretly or listen to rumors from others, I think it is better for me to tell you in person. As for whether you believe it or not, and whether it is right or wrong, you can go and check it out. Even if you are not an emperor, you should have your own judgment.

Also, I just told you about your father not to show off, but to tell you that I couldn’t fully understand your father’s loneliness before, but now…”

She raised her eyes and looked at him seriously: "Now, not only are our lives connected, but we are also in the same situation. I think maybe we can try to trust each other and be each other's companions."

Gao Yang turned around and looked at her strangely, as if he thought she was crazy.

"…Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Liang Qian shook her head: "No, I never thought so. You are the emperor. Even if you are only eight years old, you are still the emperor, not an ordinary child."

She paused and continued, "I have been observing you over the past few months. Don't be surprised. I know you have been observing me, and I am also observing you.

In short, your performance in the court is better than I expected. To be honest, I sometimes see the shadow of Zhou Yun in you. "

Gao Yang's eyes sparkled: "General Zhou?"

Liang Qian nodded: "Yes, I know you have been studying with him since you were a child, and he has always cared about and taken care of you."

Gao Yang slowly lowered his head.

There was silence for a moment.

Liang Qian's eyes fell on the top of his head: "The reason why I let you live in the side hall is not to monitor you or restrict you——"

Gao Yang raised his eyes slightly: "I know you are worried."

During the days when she was sick, he would often wake up in the middle of the night and see her sleeping on the small couch with her clothes fully clothed.

Sometimes she would hold his medical records and fall asleep on the desk because she was so sleepy.

It's not that he hadn't thought about the fact that she was acting on purpose to gain his trust and at the same time earn a reputation as a virtuous queen.

Or maybe he felt guilty for having harmed his mother.

But I am more afraid of...

When he spoke again, he couldn't help but feel sarcastic.

"You are afraid that if I die, you will have no chance to become the Queen Mother, right?"

Liang Qian seemed not to notice his sarcasm. She thought for a moment and said honestly, "Although it's not entirely true, it is partly due to this."

Gao Yang was a little surprised: "I thought you would deny it."

Liang Qian smiled lightly: "You forgot, I just said that no matter what you ask me, I will tell you the truth."

Gao Yang was stunned, and angrily didn't look at her: "Because you know, I have no choice but to obey your arrangements now."

Liang Qian immediately shook her head: "That's not necessarily true. Putting aside your uncles, there is already one in the palace."

Gao Yang turned his little head to look at her, his wet and red eyes showing a hint of doubt.

Liang Qian smiled at him and said, "Concubine Lu, you can choose to join forces with her to undermine me."

Gao Yang curled his lips: "Her? Forget it, she will only treat me as a child. Instead of looking for her, I might as well look for the Empress Dowager..."

Liang Qian's eyes showed admiration: "Then why don't you go to Renshou Hall? I didn't restrict your actions or where you can go."

Gao Yang stared at her, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Father's headache is not an ordinary disease, but poisoning, and... it is related to the Royal Grandmother, right?"

Liang Qian was stunned: "How do you know? Who told you?"

Gao Yang snorted, somewhat dissatisfied with her surprised reaction.

"Didn't you say I was the emperor?"

Liang Qian choked and couldn't help laughing. She understood a little bit in her heart: "Is this the reason why you don't go to Renshou Hall?"

Gao Yang didn't answer, but said: "At least you are trying to heal me instead of controlling me with drugs."

Liang Qian moved her seat, sat up straight, and looked at the little emperor in front of her again.
