Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

"The Queen Mother——"

When Gu Ya walked in excitedly, Liang Qian was still bending over the desk writing medical records.

Liang Qian held the pen and raised her eyes. Gu Ya's eyes were shining brightly, brighter than the lamp next to them.

"What's the good news? Why are you so happy?"

Gu Ya looked back and moved aside. Several palace maids and eunuchs followed her in.

They all bowed down to the ground.

"Queen Mother."

Liang Qian paused for a moment, and smiled faintly, "I'm glad you're back. There's nothing to wait on. You all can go down."

"Yes."

Everyone retreated as told.

Liang Qian sat quietly holding the pen for a while before continuing to write.

The ban was lifted faster than she expected.

Gu Ya approached and knelt beside the table. She lowered her head and thought for a while before she raised her eyes timidly: "Empress Dowager, I just heard Yuzhan say that she saw Sister Jinlan outside the Taiji Palace yesterday..."

Liang Qian stared without saying anything, and put down her pen after a while.

"Have you seen Qian Ming?"

Gu Ya shook her head slowly and paused: "I will go ask them."

"No need."

Liang Qian closed the medical records and said, "I'll be on duty at night. You can take some time to pack your things. We'll just take the most important things with us."

Gu Ya's eyes widened in surprise: "Where are we going?"

Liang Qian smiled faintly, her eyes slowly sweeping across every corner of the hall.

Before leaving, Gao Hao told her that Renshou Hall had fallen into disrepair and it would take a long time to clean it up, so it would be better for the empress dowager to move into Hanzhang Hall.

"Hanzhang Palace."

Hanzhang Palace?

Gu Ya was stunned and his expression changed again and again.

The Empress Dowager doesn’t live in Renshou Hall, but in Hanzhang Hall?

She moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Liang Qian glanced at the man with an uncertain expression and said, "Don't just stand there. Go ahead."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the inner room.

Gu Ya stared at the ground in a daze.

Come to think of it, the Queen Mother is two years younger than Prince Changguang...

*

The weather was excellent on the day we moved out of Hanguang Palace. The sun overhead was bright orange-red, and even the sunlight that penetrated the clouds had temperature, casting a layer of soft, warm light on the snow-covered palace.

Liang Qian stood in the yard, looking up slightly, looking at the three large gold-plated characters on the plaque.

She still remembered the day when she first entered Hanguang Palace. She was dressed in plain clothes and was nearly strangled to death by the palace servants of Renshou Palace. Fortunately, Gao Qian arrived in time to rescue her. Later, he half-dragged her into this place.

In fact, if you really want to trace it back, she had been here in her previous life.

Only, those weren't pleasant memories.

Liang Qian couldn't help but laugh.

I never thought that she had lived here for so long.

She took one last look at Hanguang Palace and turned around.

Gu Ya came forward and said, "Queen Mother, everything is ready."

Liang Qian nodded: "Let's go."

Even though I had streamlined the items again and again and only picked up the important ones to take away, there were still quite a few of them piled together.

Hanzhang Palace is some distance away from Hanguang Palace. It is considered spacious and secluded among the palaces where concubines live.

Yuzhan helped Liang Qian get into the car.

"Farewell to the Queen Mother."

Behind them, they all bowed down in unison.

Liang Qian didn't look back.

When passing by Renshou Hall, Liang Qian lifted the curtain and looked out.

Lu Chen's funeral was extremely simple.

The State of Qi only told the outside world that he had died of illness.

Logically speaking, it is not appropriate to mourn during a funeral.

But in fact, the armies of Qi and Zhou had been fighting on the front line for several days.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to keep funerals simple.

When Prince Ande Gao Yongsheng heard that Prince Yong'an Gao Huan was executed for treason, he repeatedly petitioned to return to Jinye, but unfortunately each request was rejected by Gao Hao.

Gao Yongsheng had no choice but to stay in Jinzhou.

Firstly, the war situation at the front was tense. Even if he dared to disobey military orders, he could not get away and could not abandon the army and return to the capital on his own. Secondly, Gao Huan was dead, and Gao Hao's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion. Even if he rushed back, he could not change anything. Gao Hao might take the opportunity to accuse him of a crime and kill him.

At the court that day, Gao Huan thought he had seized the initiative and secured the right to lead the army for Gao Yongsheng. However, he did not know that Gao Hao had been waiting for Gao Yongsheng to be hindered by the war and have no time to take care of Jinye.

Thinking of this, Liang Qian felt really regretful.

Compared to the deep-minded, cunning and changeable Gao Hao, she would rather Gao Huan be the winner that day.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed in the end.

Liang Qian looked at the Renshou Hall gradually receding behind her, and she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

What came to her mind was that day when Yuwen Jue took her hand and walked out of Renshou Hall without looking back, and Lu Chen, looking sick, chased out and called out to them.

Lu Chen asked Yuwen Jue: What do you think Renshou Hall is?

Yuwen Jue looked over with a very cold expression.

He said that for a minister, it was no place at all.

At that time, she didn't know the inside story, nor did she understand what the question meant.

It was not until later that she realized that Lu Chen was not asking about the palace at all.

Where is Yuwen Jue?

Can he really treat Lu Chen as nobody?

Some questions cannot be answered with a simple yes or no.

Liang Qian lowered the curtain and slowly closed her eyes.

Why is he so determined to capture Meilin Island regardless of his own life?

She also heard a little about the fighting on the front lines.

Zhou Jun has been stationed in the Lianzhou camp for many days, but there is no sign of sending troops, which inevitably makes people wonder whether he has other plans.

After all, this is the first battle after Yuwen Jue ascended the throne, and the outcome is crucial.

Everyone was waiting for his first order.

Just when everyone in the court of Jinye was arguing over speculation about Lord Zhou's marching deployment, Yuwen Jue gave up on Jinzhou, which was easily conquered, and instead led his troops to raid Meilin Island himself.

Meilin Island has a special terrain and gathers the elite troops of Qi State. This time, Hejian King Gaozongyou leads his troops to support it, so it is not easy to capture it.

It is a risky move and also a bloody battle.

As for Jinzhou, Yuwen Jue sent Sima Bo and Wang Shiliang.

Liang Qian had met Sima Bo before. He was a man of swift and decisive character. He always liked to cut the Gordian knot when doing things, and the same was true for his marching style.

The only difference is that the one facing off this time is Hulu Qiguang, and Yuwen Jue also sent the experienced Wang Shiliang.

Although Liang Qian didn't know him, she had heard Yu Wenjue mention him.

It is said that Wang Shiliang was highly trusted by the emperor, and the two of them had fought through life and death several times on the battlefield.

In this case, no matter how brave Hulu Qiguang is, he cannot handle the situation alone.

Liang Qian knew it, and Gao Hao naturally knew it too.

How could King Ande Gao Yongsheng come back at this critical moment?

But he was also suspicious, fearing that Gao Yongsheng had ulterior motives because of Gao Huan's murder.

These two days I have been thinking about who to send to Jinzhou to look after Gao Yongsheng.

It was not until Gu Ya called her through the curtains that Liang Qian came back to her senses from her complicated thoughts.

The palace maids and eunuchs of Hanzhang Palace all knelt in front of the palace and waited.

Liang Qian raised her hand to exempt them from the ceremony.

A person in charge approached with his head bowed and bowed deeply.

"Your servant Jinzhi pays homage to the Queen Mother."

Liang Qian let go of Gu Ya's hand and asked, "Where is Prince Guangning?"

Among all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in Hanguang Palace, Liang Qian only brought the most courageous one, Gu Ya.

After all, even if she handed over the empress dowager's seal, Gao Hao could not be completely at ease.

I guess Jin Zhi is also his person.

Liang Qian raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and looked at Hanzhang Palace.

'The unicorn and the red bird, the dragon rises with splendor.'

There is Hanzhang Palace, where the empress of Jin Dynasty lived.

Jin Zhi replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Prince Guangning has already taken the medicine. He just read a few pages of a book and is practicing calligraphy."

Liang Qian nodded slightly and was about to go into the hall.

Someone came out of the hall with a smile on his face.
