Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

The simple house was cleaned very neatly. Two people sat on each side in front of a small table.

Liang Qian lowered her head, staring at the unfolded portrait without blinking, her heart feeling both sour and soft.

The portrait depicts two children, one big and one small. The big one is a boy and the small one is a girl.

It's the elder brother holding his younger sister.

The little girl, who was not even one year old, was not so patient. Perhaps because she had been in this position for too long, she was a little impatient and anxious. Her dark eyes stared elsewhere, as if something else attracted her more. The boy who was holding her tightly held his arms, so nervous that he was afraid of dropping her. There was a look of confusion and innocence between his eyebrows...

Yuwen Jue glanced at the painting from across the small table and explained, "I originally wanted them to just draw a picture casually, but who would have thought it would be so awkward."

Liang Qian did not deny it, it was indeed very deliberate.

He gently stroked the little girl's round face with his fingers, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Just by looking at this painting, you can tell that the two little guys must have felt aggrieved and helpless as they managed to stay still for so long.

Somehow, she remembered the past when Xier's soft body lay in her arms, sleeping soundly.

Children change every day. I don’t know if Xier will still remember her as her mother when they meet again.

The smile on his lips also receded like the tide.

Yuwen Jue held the ceramic cup in his hand and looked up at the person who had been silent for a long time: "I saw her before coming here. Everything is fine. Don't worry."

Because the Princess of Qi had been bedridden, the ceremony of enthroning the Queen had not yet been held after the new king of Zhou ascended the throne, and all matters in the harem were still managed by the former Queen Dugu.

The harem is essentially a figment of the imagination, so how can there be so many offspring out of thin air?

Therefore, for various considerations, he did not announce Yu Wenxi's existence to the world.

Yuwen Jue paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm not sure when I can go back, and I'm worried about leaving them in the palace. After thinking about it, I think the villa is safer. Besides, they're used to living there."

Liang Qian responded lightly, looked at the portrait again, then carefully closed the scroll, put it into a brocade box beside her, and placed it on the table in front of him.

"I'll just take a look at it. You should keep the painting."

"Okay." Yuwen Jue did not refuse.

In the eyes of the world, Gao Xi and Gao Xin had already passed away.

Liang Qian was also concerned when she knew that Yuwen Jue had not brought the two children to Weiyang Palace.

They had finally escaped from the sight of Jin Ye and his group, and should not show up again, at least not now.

Yuwen Jue put down the cup and looked at her, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Liang Qian raised her eyebrows and shook her head slightly.

He was still wearing his big hat, and his nose was filled with the familiar scent of cold pine wood. The hot water in the ceramic cup also stopped emitting white steam since some time ago.

"I know you came here just to tell me in person that you want to go to war with Qi."

Everyone knew that the Lord of Zhou was leading his troops to attack Qi.

However, the army stayed in Lianzhou for more than ten days, but never took any further action.

It was as if a sword was hanging over the heads of the people in the court of Jin Ye. It was hard to guess whether or not the sword would fall, and when it would fall.

Yuwen Jue looked at her with an extremely frank gaze: "Yes."

Liang Qian nodded and looked at him very seriously.

No matter where he is, he always acts as if nothing is happening.

She had seen the iron-heartedness and cruelty of Grand Tutor Lu; she had also witnessed the brotherhood between Grand Marshal Da and his soldiers, his determination to protect the people and the country; and how he had given her his heart without reservation... and now, he was the king of a country.

Liang Qian looked at the person who was only a few feet away from her. He seemed so familiar, yet a little strange.

She saw clearly that he was them, but also more than them.

What about yourself?

Isn't it the same?

The Liang Qian of today is the Liang Qian who was trampled to death in the past, the Liang Qian who later held a sharp knife and was determined to take revenge, the Liang Qian who witnessed the horrors of war and escaped death, and the Liang Qian who now shoulders the responsibility...

Suddenly, the troubles that had been lingering in my mind for a long time finally disappeared in an instant.

Liang Qian picked up the ceramic cup, drank a sip of the no longer scalding water, and looked at Yuwen Jue again.

"When did he submit to you?"

There was a hint of surprise in Yuwen Jue's eyes. If you looked more closely, you might even find some disbelief. But soon, those deep eyes became calm again as before.

However, his slightly forward leaning body still revealed his true feelings.

"After he left the ship without saying goodbye, I asked people to keep an eye on him. Later, he wanted to stay, so I agreed."

Liang Qian knew very well that no one could force Chunyu Bei to stay unless he was willing.

But it is not easy to make Chunyu Bei willingly loyal and follow.

She didn't believe that there was nothing hidden here, but it was a private matter between them and she had no interest in finding out.

Compared to the reason why Chun Yubei stayed, what she wanted to know more was——

"Why did Yuwen Yun die?"

After thinking it over again and again, Liang Qian looked into Yuwen Jue's eyes and asked.

Yuwen Jue pulled his lips and smiled: "Will you still believe what I say?"

Although the tone of voice was light, it sounded a little trembling in my ears.

Liang Huan looked at him silently.

Yuwen Jue didn't really want to get any response, so he said calmly, "It's poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Liang Qian's heart was beating fast.

Yuwen Jue glanced at her and said simply, "After Yuwen Qi died, some of the remnants escaped."

"Yuwen Qi?"

Liang Qian frowned, vaguely hearing this name somewhere before.

Yuwen Jue nodded: "During the trip to the palace, Prince Rong rebelled against the emperor."

Oh--

Having said that, Liang Qian remembered this incident.

I heard that the emperor of Zhou was assassinated on his way to the palace for recuperation. The emperor died and the prince of Qi was seriously injured. Prince Rong Yuwenqi took the opportunity to force the emperor to abdicate, but was later executed...

Yuwen Jue said, "Yuwen Qi and Yuwen Ke were born of the same mother. After Yuwen Qi died, Yuwen Ke hid it from everyone and replaced his concubine Sun, who should have been sentenced to death, with someone who looked similar to him."

Liang Qian was surprised: "Why?"

Yuwen Jue explained: "Sun only found out she was pregnant after she was imprisoned."

Liang Qian said nothing more. Yuwen Qi was executed for treason, and his wife and descendants all died. However, his concubines did not attract any attention.

She sneered: "It's hard for Yuwen Ke to be so affectionate and righteous."

Yuwen Jue looked at Liang Qian's undisguised mockery and said, "With Sun, who carries Yuwen Qi's blood, in hand, the remaining old followers of Prince Rong will naturally turn to Yuwen Ke.

Sun had a cousin who served in the imperial court. After Yuwen Ke's death, Sun thought she had escaped death by chance and could live a peaceful life, but who would have thought that the Duke's Mansion... She felt hopeless and had the idea of ​​destroying herself along with him.

Later, Sun really found an opportunity, and she took advantage of her cousin's flattery and recommended a cook."

Liang Qian looked at Yuwen Jue without saying anything.

Yuwen Jue continued, "Yuwen Yun knew that there was no antidote for the poison, so he urgently summoned me back to the palace. Later, it was just as you saw."
