Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Chun Yubei didn't care about Lu Wanying's life or death, he jumped into the air and rushed straight to the person sitting in the main seat.

"do not move."

The blade touched her skin, causing an immediate stinging pain in her neck. Liang Qian dared not move.

"stop!"

Chunyu Bei had a gloomy face.

He clearly saw red blood beads emerging from the white skin.

Jinlan's eyes were calm: "Please put down the sword in Chunyu Zuowei's hand, or I will kill her with one blow."

Everyone knows that Chunyu Bei was conferred the title when the previous emperor was dying. After the previous emperor's death, he was only loyal to one person, and that was Empress Dowager Liang.

"How dare you betray the Queen Mother, you bastard?"

Chunyu Bei stopped two steps away, his cruel eyes could kill people.

Jinlan lowered her eyes and said calmly, "There is only one person I have ever been loyal to, and that is the Grand Empress Dowager."

Chunyu Bei had no way to move forward or backward, and his eyes were fixed on the person on the high seat.

Liang Qian smiled at him, her eyes swept over the people below, but her words were addressed to Jinlan.

"It's not like I didn't doubt you."

Jinlan responded in a deep voice: "I know that you left the palace that day just to test me."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Chen was very satisfied and looked at Liang Qian with a smile.

Liang Qian pursed her lips and said, "I am ashamed of myself that I cannot match the Grand Empress Dowager's methods."

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "What means do you have? But you are an outsider after all. No, to Yang'er, you are still the enemy who killed my mother and brother."

Liang Qian didn't react.

No surprise.

Gao Yang looked at Liang Qian's face guiltily, but she never looked at him.

She must have guessed that he had stolen the antidote while taking the opportunity to get the wake-up drug.

Lu Chen shook his head and smiled again: "Liang Qian, you can only blame yourself. You wanted both love and power, but you were incapable of giving birth to a prince."

Liang Qian looked straight into her eyes, and said in a light tone full of contempt: "Yes, I am indeed not as good as you in this respect!"

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths."

Lu Chen's expression changed, and he was about to get angry, but he turned to look at Chunyu Bei on the other side.

When the two sides are in a stalemate, if they fight head-on, they may not be able to gain the upper hand.

She smiled and said, "Chun Yubei, you are the commander of the Central Army, and your duty is to guard the capital. Now you have been bewitched by the Evil Queen and dare to rebel!"

Jinlan raised her eyes and said, "Chun Yu Zuo Wei, why don't you put down your weapon?"

As she warned him, she was about to press the bloody knife in her hand against the wound again.

Chun Yubei tightly gripped the sword, his face looked very ugly, and he stared at Jinlan with murderous eyes.

Only until the person under the knife hissed in pain did he slowly lower his head.

"It is my incompetence that I cannot protect the Queen Mother."

After he finished speaking, his raised hand loosened, and with a clang, the sword fell straight down.

Liang Qian's eyes suddenly widened. Before she could utter the word "be careful", a dagger flashed with a cold light and stabbed towards Chunyu Bei's lower back.

She ignored the sharp blade on her neck, grabbed the blade and pulled it back hard, causing Jinlan to stagger.

"Chun Yubei..."

Liang Qian took a step forward but was stopped again.

Chun Yubei turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of Ao Rubin's smiling face.

He choked out a mouthful of black blood and his whole body fell to the ground with a bang.

Liang Qian stared at the person lying down.

His body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Liang Qian clenched her teeth, and a warm and sticky liquid oozed out from between her fingers. After a while, her palms became wet and painful.

Without Chunyu Bei, Lu Chen had no more worries. He grabbed the palace maid's hand and walked towards the stairs step by step.

"Evil Queen Liang secretly colluded with Prince Changguang Gao Hao, intending to kill the emperor and usurp the throne. When Prince Yong'an saw through their plan, he was furious and killed them. Poor Prince Yong'an was killed for protecting the emperor's life. Now Ao Rubin has been rewarded for killing the traitor's accomplice Chun Yubei and has been promoted to General of the Left Guard."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Ao Rubin bowed.

A smile appeared on Lu Chen's haggard face.

It is a smile of victory in sight.

"Royal Grandmother——"

Gao Yang came to his senses, looked at Chunyu Bei's body, and wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but his arms were tightly held by the eunuchs on both sides.

Lu Chen ignored them and just faced everyone, raising his voice: "Central Army, listen up! Anyone who kills the rebels today will be rewarded according to their merits!"

After that, he pointed at the surrounded imperial guards in the middle, and glanced at them one by one with cold eyes: "As long as you abandon the old and pursue the new, and surrender sincerely, I will not pursue the past!"

As soon as these words were spoken, most people exchanged glances. Although they had not yet surrendered, they were clearly in a wait-and-see state.

After all, Xiahou was not leading his troops, Chunyu Zuowei was dead, and the empress dowager was still under the control of the grand empress dowager, and the emperor trusted the grand empress dowager more.

Besides, anyone can see that the Queen Mother’s situation is hopeless.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

They really don't need to fight for their lives...

Seeing that people's hearts were loosening, Gao Hao glanced at Lu Chen coldly and said, "The Empress Dowager is really good at hiding something behind the scenes."

Lu Chen lowered his eyes and said, "Today, I will restore order and kill you two adulterers!"

Gao Hao sneered with great disdain.

"Old witch, let me see if you have the ability!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to chop at the imperial guard beside him, but his knees suddenly weakened and he collapsed to the ground without any warning.

The sword was back on him.

Gao Hao felt a chill in his heart.

I tried hard to move my limbs, but after several attempts, I still couldn't get up. I couldn't muster any strength in my whole body.

Seeing that the enemy was powerless to resist, the imperial guards also relaxed.

"What's going on?" Gao Hao's face turned pale and he was panicked, unable to remain calm anymore.

Liang Qian stared at him from a distance, "Prince Changguang, take a rest. You are poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

Gao Hao froze for a moment, stunned, unable to say anything more.

Liang Qian only asked: "When you came here, did you smell the fragrance of orange flowers anywhere?"

Gao Hao's face darkened and he gritted his teeth and looked at the plain-dressed man with hatred.

"It's you!"

Without Chun Yubei's threat, Lu Wanying had already stood up.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, revealed an extremely charming smile, and then walked in front of Lu Chen.

"aunt."

Lu Chen took her hand, placed it in his palm and patted it, very satisfied with her obedience.

"Aying, you did a great job! This is what we, the Lu family, should be like!"

Lu Wanying lowered her head and said, "Aunt is right."

Lu Chen held her hand tightly and pointed at Liang Qian: "Aren't you obsessed with revenge for your father? You just killed Gao Huan, and now she is the only one left. Go, go over there now and kill that bitch with your own hands! From now on, the position of Empress Dowager will be yours!"

She paused, staring at Lu Wanying with deep eyes, and her tone was even more intriguing: "Of course, killing her is also revenge for yourself. Don't you always hate her?"

Lu Wanying looked up in surprise, feeling it was unbelievable.

"aunt?"

Lu Chen met her gaze and nodded encouragingly.

Lu Wanying stared at the person in front of her, and suddenly smiled.

It turns out that my aunt had known all along.
