Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Liang Qian broke the silence: "Do you know why Gao Jun wanted to frame Gao Yongsheng?"

Wang Tingyue frowned and said nothing.

Liang Qian took a sip of tea and swallowed it, then looked at him again: "Because the person he really wants to deal with is Gao Hao."

Wang Tingyue was stunned: "Why?"

Liang Qian raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why else? Of course it's for that position."

No wonder Wang Tingyue was so surprised.

Liang Qian said, "I was in Taiji Palace that day, but I had a lot of dealings with them. In front of others, Gao Jun always puts Gao Hao first, but what about behind others? They are both princes, Gao Hao can do it, why can't Gao Jun?"

At this moment, Wang Tingyue seemed to have grasped some important information and looked at Liang Qian in disbelief.

In order to verify his suspicion, he hardened his heart and asked, "Did you give up the throne on purpose?"

Liang Qian smiled and did not deny it.

"They are jackals. They only see the piece of meat. They will do anything for it. We don't want to sacrifice our lives for a piece of carrion."

She paused and pursed her lips: "Besides, have you ever seen a hunter fighting with a few jackals for a piece of meat?"

Wang Tingyue was stunned.

Liang Qian's eyes narrowed and she said softly, "The hunter wants the jackal's skin and meat."

She lowered her eyes and stared at the cup in her hand. "Wang Tingyue, the roots here are rotten. Since they are rotten, dig them out."

Wang Tingyue took a deep breath and looked at her intently.

After a long while, he finally asked with difficulty.

"Do you know what you are doing?"

Liang Qian looked into his eyes and nodded calmly: "Why do you think I came back?"

Wang Tingyue was so surprised that he was speechless. Many questions came to his mind, and in an instant they seemed to have answers.

"So, so you sent us all far away one by one?"

Liang Qian did not deny it, nor did she want to hide it from him: "It's not entirely true."

She sighed and said, "Wang Tingyue, I am not a flower that blooms in the inner garden of the palace. I have walked many roads, been to many places, and met many people. I know very well what the situation is like outside. But precisely because I know this, this is the best way to do it. Don't you want the world to be peaceful and prosperous?"

She paused and said in a light tone: "As for the emperor's surname, does it matter?"

Wang Tingyue felt heavy-hearted and his mind was in a mess.

After Lianzhou fell, they were captured by the Zhou army, but Yuwen Jue released them secretly.

At that time, he thought that Yuwen Jue did that only because he cared about A'an, but now it seems that he was too shallow.

Liang Qian said with some sadness: "Wang Tingyue, I have tried before, but I failed in the end. Cao Jun, Cao Xiang, Lu Huai, Zhou Yun, Zhao Yan, Pei Yao... and those whose names I can name or those whose names I cannot name, I can save them this time, but I can't save them next time..."

She lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Even after I came back, every time I sat on the high seat in the Taiji Hall, I looked through the pearl curtain at the court officials below, and I only saw evil spirits. Tell me, what is there to be loyal to and devoted to such a treacherous and evil ruler?"

Wang Tingyue was shocked beyond words.

Liang Qian looked at his pale face and said calmly: "So, the real traitor is me. And it is time for the world to be unified."

Wang Tingyue froze: "But the late emperor..."

Liang Qian pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and said, "When he was very young, he was poisoned because of the harem struggle, so he has been suffering from headaches. The remaining poison in his body would not have killed him, but I was poisoned by a Gu during my pregnancy. In order to save me and the child, he introduced the Gu poison to his body. He was already at the end of his strength, so how could he withstand Gao Yi's fatal blow?"

Her eyes flickered slightly: "Do you remember the day when Gao Yi was executed?"

Wang Tingyue nodded woodenly.

The emperor went on a killing spree in front of Tongle Pavilion, and Liang Qian was the last to arrive.

Liang Qian's voice was very calm, and no trace of sadness or joy could be heard: "That day I woke up in a carriage on the way to Zhou State, and in my arms was the imperial seal that he left behind."

Wang Tingyue looked at her in shock: "So... So... the late emperor is - could it be that the reason why we left Lianzhou that day was because they had reached an agreement?"

Liang Qian smiled faintly.

If she still had doubts before, after meeting Yuwen Jue, she was completely sure.

Gao Qian's willingness to hand over the national seal to Yuwen Jue showed his attitude, but how could Yuwen Jue accept it?

He will get it in his own way, honestly and fairly.

She shook her head: "There is no agreement, just a tacit understanding between each other. After leaving Lianzhou, we just performed our duties, and now I am the same. Before he comes to Jinye, I stay here to take care of the national seal and Jinye. It has nothing to do with personal feelings, it's just the overall situation..."

"War is inevitable, but I have to do something." Liang Qian slowly turned the cup, "I am dealing with Gao Hao and his men like this because I want to do my best to stabilize the situation in Jinye and protect some people."

Only when she showed that she was determined to leave the palace, Gao Hao did not dare to ask her to leave easily.

Wang Tingyue looked at Liang Qian, feeling indescribably complicated and heavy.

Liang Qian looked at the tea in the cup with calm eyes: "You must be wondering why Gao Qian gave the national seal to Yuwen Jue. In fact, in addition to the fact that Yuwen Jue is already the Lord of Zhou, there is one thing you don't know. They are actually half brothers. Now, you understand it all."

Wang Tingyue was completely speechless.

Liang Qian thought for a moment and then said, "It would be fine if you left, but since you're back, I have to tell you the truth and let you choose the path you want to take in the future."

After saying this, Liang Qian said no more and drank her tea in silence.

It has emerald green color, noble aroma, mellow taste and lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Liang Qian finished her glass and filled it up again.

Wang Tingyue lowered his eyes, chewing on the news and digesting it for a long time.

After a while, he spoke in a low voice.

"Ah'an, it was Yuwen Jue who saved me."

Liang Qian was stunned and slowly raised her eyes to look at him.

Wang Tingyue also looked at her: "I don't know why he asked me to hide it from you, but I always feel that I should tell you."

He added: "The river was turbulent and I fell into a coma. When I woke up, a man named Guan Song saved me. He told me that he came here on the orders of Lord Zhou. He was a step too late. He led his men to search along the river bank and finally found me on the riverbank."

"When my wounds were almost healed, they sent me to the Zhou army camp. There, I met Yuwen Jue. He told me about Zhou Situ's danger and asked about my plans. After that, I went to see Hulu Qiguang."

Liang Qian pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

After all, he is Grand Tutor Lu. How could he not know the people in the court of Jinye, and how could he not know the tricks they usually use?

He was able to arrange people to protect Zhou Zhaoyuan in advance, so how could he not guess that Wang Tingyue would also be in danger?

Wang Tingyue looked at the silent man and asked again, "Why do you think he wanted me to keep it a secret from you?"

Liang Qian nodded slightly, her voice barely audible: "I... know why."

No matter how slow Wang Tingyue was, he could still see the awkwardness between the two of them.

He did not forget that by the Fen River, Ah'an leaned in Yuwen Jue's arms, and there was no one else in their eyes or hearts.

Wang Tingyue sighed slightly: "Ah'an, you have considered so many people, but have you ever considered yourself?"

He simply said it more bluntly: "Don't underestimate his feelings for you."
