Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

"The Emperor is right."

There was no displeasure on Lu Wanying's face, and she picked up the wine glass naturally.

Gao Huan saw this and hurriedly grabbed the wine pot on the table, filled a cup himself, stood up and said: "Mr. Fuyang passed away unexpectedly, all because of my inability to manage my subordinates. I am truly filled with remorse and regret, and I cannot escape the blame even if I die--"

He sighed heavily as he spoke, and bowed deeply to Lu Wanying: "If the Concubine Dowager can use me in the future, just ask. I will not refuse even if I die."

Gao Huan held the gift, feeling guilty and blaming himself.

Lu Wanying's eyes reddened slightly, she lowered her head and relaxed for a moment before she walked up to Gao Huan with a glass of wine in hand.

"Prince Yong'an, please get up quickly. How can this be blamed entirely on you?"

As she spoke, she reached out to support Gao Huan.

Gao Huan looked up and saw the two of them looking at each other.

At such a close distance, you can clearly see the true emotions hidden in the other person's eyes.

Liang Qian's eyes narrowed, and she stood up suddenly. Just as she was about to warn him, she saw Lu Wanying pull out a sharp knife from somewhere and stabbed it straight into Gao Huan's abdomen.

Gao Huan was startled, threw away the wine glass in his hand, waved his arm, and then kicked forward.

Lu Wanying fell heavily to the ground, and blood was gushing from Gao Huan's arm.

"Escort!"

The cups and plates shattered with a harsh sound, and the imperial guards rushed in.

In an instant, everyone was surrounded.

"Queen Mother," Chun Yubei stepped forward from behind the crowd, pointing his cold sword at Lu Wanying's neck, "Do you want to execute the traitor on the spot?"

They agreed to use the breaking of cups as the signal for action.

Lu Wanying completely ignored the sword at her neck and stared with two bloodshot eyes: "Liang Qian! Tell me, is it you? Did you two team up to kill my father?"

Who doesn't know that the Queen Mother is controlled by the Minister of the Chancellery in every way?

"It was you. You ordered Gao Huan to do this!"

Gao Yang was held by two eunuchs and protected behind him. He looked at Liang Qian in disbelief: "...Empress Dowager?"

Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Liang Qian.

The air became unusually quiet.

Liang Qian waved her hand, "No hurry."

"Yes."

Chunyu Bei simply lowered his head, without moving the sword in his hand at all.

Liang Qian sat down again, glanced at Gao Yang, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please be patient."

Her eyes were dark and bottomless.

"What does this mean, Queen Mother?"

Gao Hao sat upright, without moving a muscle, but his voice was extremely cold.

Liang Qian turned the ring on her finger, raised her lips and smiled at him: "What does Prince Changguang think?"

Gao Hao pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

Lu Wanying gritted her teeth and said, "Liang Qian, I won't let you go!"

Liang Qian smiled and said nothing.

Compared to Lu Wanying's hysteria, Gao Hao was indeed much calmer.

At this time, someone hurried in. When he saw the scene, he first bowed to the emperor and the empress dowager before turning to Gao Huan.

"Your Highness, we have subdued the Prince of Nanyang and his men."

Upon hearing the news, Gao Hao's face changed and he stared at Gao Huan with an extremely serious expression.

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Uncharacteristically.

Laughing wildly.

"Seventh brother, you didn't expect that the Queen Mother and I were waiting for you."

Ignoring his bleeding arm, he drew the sword of the imperial guard beside him and walked straight towards Gao Hao who was surrounded by long swords.

Drops of blood fell on the ground, leaving behind a winding, glaring mark.

Liang Qian looked on expressionlessly and quietly.

Gao Huan pushed away the imperial guards who were blocking his way, bent down, and met Gao Hao's eyes with cold eyes.

"Should we settle old scores today?"

Gao Hao turned his head and glanced at Liang Qian.

Liang Qian propped up her chin with one hand and said calmly: "Whether it's killing or shaving, hurry up."

Gao Hao still looked at her: "Your face is like a peach blossom, but your heart is like a poisonous scorpion. Queen Mother, do you really not miss the old feelings at all?"

Gao Huan also looked over, with a scrutinizing look in his dark eyes.

"Love?" Liang Qian lowered her eyes and smiled softly.

She raised her head and slowly clenched her open palms: "How can something so intangible compare to the reassurance of a heavy seal? Don't you agree, Prince Changguang?"

The smile disappeared from Liang Qian's face.

"Do it!"

"Your Majesty! Prince Changguang and Prince Nanyang are plotting treason, and I am too late to rescue you!" Gao Huan turned around, raised his sword high, and was about to chop down at Gao Hao.

Gao Hao closed his eyes and smiled: "My Royal Brother, what a good excuse!"

At the moment the sword fell, blood suddenly spurted out.

Before Gao Huan could react, he was kicked hard in the abdomen, and he shuddered in pain.

Gao Huan fell on his back on the ground, and the sword in his hand was thrown aside.

Someone cried out in surprise, and what fell to the ground along with Prince Yongan was a head.

It was the general who had just reported the news.

Liang Qian felt a chill down her spine and narrowed her eyes.

Gao Yang stood up straight, stared blankly, and said nothing.

The situation suddenly changed, and Chun Yubei's eyes shot straight over.

Liang Qian still pursed her lips and sat back steadily, as if who lived and who died had nothing to do with her, and as if she had foreseen all this.

"Ha... Gao Huan, I want you to kill someone and pay with your life!" Lu Wanying laughed so hard that tears were about to flow out.

What Gao Huan spat out was black blood.

He was poisoned.

Lu Wanying's knife was poisoned...

Liang Qian clenched her hands tightly. Only the sharp pain in her palms could force her to endure the shock in her heart and not look out of control.

Seeing that the Queen Mother remained indifferent, Gao Yang was a little confused.

Didn’t she just want to kill Prince Changguang together with Prince Yong’an?

"… Queen Mother?"

Liang Qian didn't look at him, her eyes were only fixed on the person lying on the ground.

Gao Huan raised his head with great effort, pointed his trembling finger at Gao Hao who was standing upright, and opened his mouth wide as if wanting to say something, but blood kept oozing out, choking him and making him unable to utter a word.

Gao Hao leaned down and easily brushed Gao Huan's hand away.

"Brother, you are happy too early!"

Gao Huan fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Gao Hao raised his eyes and smiled gently at the person on the high seat, then said meaningfully to the person under his feet: "Brother, to be honest, I knew about today's game early on."

It was like a thunderclap exploding in Gao Huan's mind. His eyes, which were about to close, suddenly widened and he looked at Liang Qian with all his strength.

His lips moved, but no sound came out.

Gao Hao stood up and kicked Gao Huan with his feet, as if he was teasing a cat or a dog.

Gao Huan closed his eyes and could only breathe out, perhaps out of humiliation, resentment, and unwillingness... a whimpering sound came from his mouth.

Gao Hao found it more and more interesting. He raised his eyebrows and looked over, and asked with a smile: "Would the Queen Mother like to try it too?"

Liang Qian stared at him and snorted, "Whether it's killing or shaving, hurry up."

Still the same sentence.

Gao Hao seemed to have found something more interesting, so he withdrew his foot and started laughing.

"I have never seen a woman more heartless than the Queen Mother."

Liang Qian pursed her lips and looked at him coldly: "What use is love other than taking someone's life?"

Gao Hao glanced at Gao Yang who had a stern face, then looked back at her with smiling eyes and shook his head.

"Just now, I almost thought you were going to kill me."

Liang Qian showed no expression and gestured to Chun Yubei.

"Are you not going to clean up this place yet?"

Chunyu Bei retracted his sword, ordered two imperial guards to take Lu Wanying and Gao Huan away.

"Wait a minute."

Someone was helped in.

Gao Hao lowered his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

It’s the Empress Dowager.

Although she still looked sick, her exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes still retained some of her former splendor.

The imperial guards also came in with her.

The leader was Ao Rubin.

Liang Huan frowned.

Just as I was about to get up, I felt a chill on my neck and Jinlan's voice rang in my ears.

"My Queen, I'm sorry."
