Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Lu Wanying stopped by the railing.

Liang Qian pulled out her wrist before she could stand still. "Just say whatever you want to say."

Lu Wanying snorted and looked her up and down with a mocking look.

"What? Who are you so eager to seduce again?"

Liang Qian's face turned cold: "Ah Ying, I tolerate you every time, not because I am afraid of you, but because of-"

Lu Wanying raised her arms to interrupt her.

"Oh, I know. You mean to say that it's because of my uncle?" He paused, then shook his head and laughed: "No, it could also be my cousin?"

Liang Qian looked at the sarcastic and sarcastic person in front of her. There was no trace of the innocent and lively person she had in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

She didn't know who to feel sad for, nor who to blame.

She even wondered more than once: if she had told her from the beginning that Lu Xiu was not dead and was still alive, she would not have become like this?

Liang Qian lowered her eyes. For some reason, she always thought of the days when she lived in Nanyuan these days.

Think of the people and things related.

She repeatedly gave in to Ah Ying, which was also right.

Liang Qian sighed and looked at her: "I think there is nothing much to say to you."

She said and left.

Lu Wanying sneered behind her back.

"Liang Qian, I really want to know, if he knew about this and saw you being so dissolute, what would he think?

Liang Qian's pupils shrank and she clenched her palms. She didn't look back and didn't say anything.

Lu Wanying continued, "In Hanzhang Palace, I felt sick for him just by looking at him! Liang Qian, you really made him dirty!"

There was a "pop" sound, extremely loud.

Lu Wanying covered half of her face, her eyes wide open with a look of disbelief.

"You, you dare to hit me?!"

"Why not? I should have beaten you a long time ago!"

"You——" Lu Wanying was furious.

Liang Qian glanced at her, didn't want to say anything more, and turned away.

"You hit me and you want to just walk away? No way!" Lu Wanying was furious.

"Madam Shufei, you are here."

Some palace servants ran towards them in panic.

When she saw Liang Qian, the palace maid put her hands into her sleeves, lowered her head, and went to Lu Wanying.

Liang Qian frowned slightly, as if the palace maid was hiding something in her sleeves.

No! That palace maid was clearly the one who was seen conspiring with the eunuch earlier!

Could it be that the person they want to harm is Lu Wanying?

Liang Qian realized something was wrong.

As soon as I turned around, I heard Lu Wanying scream and saw her about to fall into the lake.

Liang Qian didn't have time to think about it. She rushed forward and grabbed the palace maid's arm.

The palace maid turned around and smiled at her, and Liang Qian then realized that the palace maid had nothing in her hands.

The palace maid pushed Lu Wanying fiercely, and as Lu Wanying fell over, Liang Qian narrowly grabbed her sleeve.

The huge sound of someone falling into the water startled everyone.

The palace maids shouted for help at the top of their lungs on the shore.

Lu Wanying couldn't swim, and kept splashing and shouting in the water.

Liang Qian wanted to pull her away, but the wig and jewelry on her head, as well as the water-soaked brocade clothes on her body, all became a burden, weighing her down and causing her to sink further and further to the bottom of the water.

At the moment, let alone saving Lu Wanying, even saving herself was difficult, and she could only struggle to float to the surface of the water.

Perhaps it was because they called for help in time, and soon the shore was crowded with people.

Just when Lu Wanying was about to sink, there was a splashing sound.

Liang Qian held on to her last bit of strength and saw a figure swimming towards her.

The moment she left the water, her whole body was shivering. The clothes wrapped around her body were like ice, and the cold air penetrated into her bones. She was so cold that even her head felt numb and her consciousness was a little unclear.

"Queen Mother!"

Gu Ya rushed over with a crying voice.

Lu Wanying next to him seemed to have fainted. Some people gathered around him, some crying and accusing him, and some calling for the imperial physician.

The dark lakeside was in complete chaos.

Before Liang Qian could see clearly what was in front of her, she was picked up.

"Liang Huan."

Someone was holding her and calling her anxiously.

It’s Gao Hao.

*

Hanzhang Palace.

There were many people kneeling on the ground outside the bedroom.

Whether it was the inner room or the outer room, it was so quiet that it was a little scary.

Gao Hao sat on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, not saying a word.

Queen Yuan Yun'e stood aside with a serious expression.

After Liang Qian soaked in warm water, Gu Ya wrapped her in thick fur.

Even so, the man, who was delirious with fever, still huddled up in a ball and shivered, with his lips and teeth trembling.

Gu Ya knelt beside the couch and carefully fed Liang Qian the medicine.

In the complete silence, this was the only sound besides breathing.

Until someone came running in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The man knelt down tremblingly, his voice shaking with fear.

Gao Hao said calmly, "Speak."

"Shu, Shu Fei, Xiao, she had a miscarriage."

After the man said this, he fell to the ground and dared not look up again.

"what?"

Yuan Yun'e's face changed, she realized she had lost her composure and glanced at Gao Hao's face again, but when she saw that he did not scold her, she hurriedly asked, "How is the Concubine Shu now?"

The visitor trembled and said timidly, "The imperial physician said that my life might be in danger."

Yuan Yun'e took a breath and looked at Gao Hao: "Your Majesty..."

"Check it out. I want to find out who did it."

Gao Hao had a gloomy face and his tone was indescribably calm, yet it was as cold as the surface of a frozen lake.

Yuan Yun'e responded first, then asked the confidant who was kneeling on the ground: "Where are the palace maids outside the Bishuitai Palace?"

Ah Chan raised her eyes slightly and said, "He is being held outside."

Yuan Yun'e: "Bring the person in."

The palace maid was half-dragged and half-pulled to the ground by two eunuchs.

The palace maid felt pain and knelt carefully.

"Your servant greets His Majesty, the Queen."

Yuan Yun'e looked at the palace maid's face carefully again and again, and asked doubtfully, "Are you a servant in Yaohua Palace?"

The palace maid kowtowed and said, "Yes, I am Du Juan from Yaohua Palace."

Yuan Yun'e frowned: "I heard that it was you who found the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu falling into the water, and it was you who called for help?"

Du Juan nodded: "Yes."

Yuan Yun'e: "Okay, then tell me what happened?"

Dujuan looked hesitant, opened her mouth, then lowered her head again, as if she had something to hide.

Yuan Yun'e: "Why don't you tell the truth in front of the master! Why are you hesitating?"

Dujuan kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your servant, I know nothing, I saw nothing, really, your servant saw nothing..."

Gao Hao glanced at him calmly and said, "Tell me, or I'll kill you."

Du Juan shuddered, startled and frightened, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, it was the Queen Mother who pushed Concubine Shu."

Yuan Yun'e said angrily: "How dare you slander the Queen Mother!"

Du Juan hurriedly shook her head: "I dare not, it was the Queen Mother. The concubine spilled tea at the banquet and wet her dress. She was going back to Yaohua Palace, but she ran into the Queen Mother on her way out, and then, they had an argument. Later, the Queen Mother hit the concubine, so the concubine cursed the Queen Mother, and then, the Queen Mother pushed the concubine into the lake in a rage. Maybe she lost her grip for a moment, and the Queen Mother herself fell into the water——"

Before Du Juan could finish her words, she was kicked hard on the shoulder.

"Someone, drag her away and chop her up."

Yuan Yun'e was startled and saw Gao Hao standing in front of Dujuan.

"Your Majesty, the matter has not yet been clarified. How can we ..."

"Has the Queen lost her mind? How could the Queen Mother do such a thing?"

Du Juan was anxious: "Queen, Your Majesty, I am not lying, it is really the Queen Mother."

She knelt down again and said earnestly, "Others may not know, but everyone in Yaohua Palace and Hanguang Palace knows that on that day, Concubine Shu barged into Hanzhang Palace and interrupted the conversation between the master and the queen mother... The queen mother was resentful and mentioned this matter when they were arguing at Bishui Terrace just now."

Yuan Yun'e asked: "Since you were there, why didn't you stop it?"

Gao Hao interrupted Yuan Yun'e and made the final decision: "Drag this palace maid outside the palace and beat her to death."

"Yes."

"His Majesty……"

Du Juan was gagged by the eunuch and dragged out of the palace.

Yuan Yun'e glanced at the door, then turned to the emperor and advised: "Your Majesty——"

Gao Hao didn't look at her. He sat back on the edge of the couch, took the small bowl from Gu Ya, and personally fed the medicine to the man who was delirious with fever.

"From now on, anyone in the harem who dares to slander or defame the Queen Mother will be beaten to death."

Yuan Yun'e's heart sank: "But, but, that palace maid is dead, how can we find out——"

"That's your business, Queen."

Gao Hao didn't even turn his head.
