Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Chun Yubei walked out from behind the heavy curtain with his arms folded. He glanced at the two figures walking away outside the palace and raised his eyebrows: "The woman is exiled to Pingtang, and the man is sent to Pingtang to be a minor official? Is the Queen Mother sure this is a punishment?"

He retracted his gaze and looked at the person standing alone in the hall, not without disappointment: "Witch, I really thought you would kill her."

Liang Qian glanced at him with a smile: "Is it difficult to kill her?"

Chun Yubei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "That's right."

Then he looked away again, frowned, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "But I clearly remember that General Wang was talking to you--"

He stopped talking and said no more.

Not to mention how General Wang chased her all the way from Jinye to Zhou State after the fire in Zixiao Temple that day, even when he kidnapped her, the tension in his eyes was no less than that of the late King of Qi.

Liang Qian understood, turned her head to meet his gaze, and spoke calmly.

“When we long for the bright moon, we often forget that what accompanies us through most of the dark nights is the small, bright lamp within our reach.

Maybe sometimes, what we can’t let go of is not a specific person, but our past selves and the memories that can’t be reproduced.”

Chun Yu Bei stared at the person in front of him and opened his mouth, wanting to take the opportunity to ask her if she had let go of Yu Wen Jue?

Then he shook his head and smiled.

There is no good in knowing too much.

Liang Qian glanced at him calmly and turned to the table: "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? I didn't ask you to come here just to watch the show."

Chun Yubei spread his hands and said innocently, "Queen Dowager, when I'm not on duty, I have to help you train your secret guards. It won't hurt to watch for a while now, right?"

Liang Qian sat in front of the desk and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "You are a person who receives two salaries, shouldn't you do more?"

Chun Yubei was surprised: "Two?"

Liang Qian raised the corner of her mouth and smiled playfully: "As far as I know, Mr. Zhou is not a stingy person."

Chun Yubei looked at that cold smile, hesitant to speak, lowered his eyes and said with gritted teeth: "Witch, sometimes I really want to kill you with a knife."

Liang Qian rubbed his temples, too lazy to argue with him: "Stop talking nonsense, the matter of Wang Tingyue is over. Now, in addition to Hulu Qiguang, I also want to talk to you about the winter hunt in a few days."

After two consecutive palace banquets, everyone lost interest. Seeing this, Prince Nanyang proposed to go to Beiyuan for winter hunting.

It is the transition period between autumn and winter, the weather is not too cold yet, and the scenery of Beiyuan Weichang Forest is the most pleasant time of the year.

When King Nanyang proposed this, Liang Qian declined very tactfully.

Not to mention that hunting itself is dangerous, just the few of them have bad intentions and each has their own agenda. Even if she were to stay in the palace now, she would feel overwhelmed for fear that they would attack Gao Yang, let alone go hunting outside the palace.

Who knows if there will be any accidents?

However, in the court, except for a few people such as Hulu Qiguang and Zhou Situ who clearly opposed it, most people unanimously agreed. Of course, there were a few fence-sitters.

The deliberate actions of King Nanyang also made her see the situation more clearly.

She also knew in her heart that they couldn't hide in the palace forever.

Besides, the palace is not impregnable.

I think King Gao Jun of Nanyang made this proposal in order to test the true strength of the Empress Dowager.

As for others, this free opportunity is something they would love to have.

In that case, she agreed and made arrangements in advance.

On the one hand, Xiahou Zhao was ordered to lead the imperial guards to check the enclosure in advance, and on the other hand, Chunyu Bei was ordered to personally guard Gao Yang.

Even with this arrangement, she was still worried.

Chunyu Bei saw Liang Qian's serious expression and stopped joking. He lowered his voice and asked seriously, "What exactly do you want to do? You are a good general, and you just retreat when I say so."

Liang Qian pursed her lips, blinked her watery eyes, and said sincerely: "Showing weakness."

Show weakness?

Chun Yubei looked at her and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Liang Qian ignored his weird expression and nodded gently: "I think instead of waiting for them to be cut off by others, it is better for me to do it myself."

Chun Yubei shook his head, not agreeing: "That's military power, you're giving it up like this..."

Liang Qian sighed, "If you don't give up the military power, you have to give up your life. Besides, I just took the general's seal, and it's just a matter of a decree to let Wang Tingyue come back."

She paused for a moment and asked, "Have you forgotten what I told you, what my mission is?"

Chun Yubei frowned and lowered his voice: "They are safe, but you are in danger!"

Liang Qian tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Am I not already asking you to train the secret guards?"

The two looked at each other.

Chun Yubei gritted his teeth and stared into those dark eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I will stab you in the back?"

Liang Qian was stunned for a moment, and seemed to smile: "Of course I am afraid, but I can't think of any reason why you want to kill me now."

Chun Yubei took a breath and said, "Do I need a reason to kill you?"

Liang Qian sat up straight and said in a serious tone: "Then tell me, when are you going to kill me?"

Chun Yubei looked at her steadily, remained silent for a moment, looked away, but sighed: "When the day comes that I want to kill you, I will definitely tell you."

Liang Qian nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Chun Yubei was furious: "What a heartless person."

Liang Qian was stunned, then suddenly smiled: "He is heartless."

Chun Yubei frowned and looked at her.

Liang Qian stopped provoking him, her eyes were gentle, and she said seriously: "Wei Yue, actually we are the same kind of people."

Chunyu Bei's heart trembled slightly.

The unexpected sound of Wei Yue brought back all the past events at once and without any hesitation.

Chun Yubei slowly lowered his eyes and heard her say calmly: "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it long ago. After all, for you, killing me is as easy as crushing an ant. If you don't kill me, I'm afraid you are just disdainful."

The palace was deep and dark, with curtains blocking most of the light from the windows. However, the lights inside the palace made up for the deficiency, illuminating everything clearly, making it impossible to dream for even a moment.

Chun Yubei lowered his head and sneered: "Yes, I am very disdainful."

Liang Qian glanced at him indifferently, curled her lips, took out the map of Beiyuan Paddock that she had prepared long ago, and spread it out on the table.

Her slender fingers moved slowly along with her sight. Suddenly her gaze paused, and she quickly took out the pen and ink from the desk, but her eyes were still fixed on a certain point on the picture.

"I think there should be a few people here."

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid it's too crowded and easy to be noticed."

Liang Qian watched over here for a long time, but there was no movement over there, which made her feel a little strange.

"you--"

When she looked over, the words she was about to say were drowned in a pair of dark and silent eyes.

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

Chun Yubei smiled and asked softly, "Witch, why don't you lie to me anymore?"

Liang Huan was a little confused.

*

On the day of departure for Beiyuan Paddock, Liang Qian got up very early, and after getting dressed, she went to the side hall to see Gao Yang.

The straight little body was dressed in an elegant black dress and had a delicate little sword at his waist.

His hair was combed neatly, and his fair face had a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and his brows revealed a calmness and majesty that did not belong to his age.

"Queen Mother."

Liang Qian stepped forward to help him straighten his collar, then looked down at him and asked, "Are you scared?"
