Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Looking at Wang Tingyue like this, Liang Qian lowered her head and smiled.

"Brother, he is already Lord Zhou, and what I have done is destined to be cursed by thousands of people—"

She raised her head and said, "I remember asking Qiu Xi a question a long time ago. If she had a bag of millet, would she love any one of them? She answered that she loved every one of them. At that time, I felt that loving every one of them was the same as loving none of them."

Wang Tingyue frowned, not understanding what was going on.

Liang Qian smiled and said, "Now I think she gave a very good answer."

She looked at the warm teacup in her hand and said, "I believe he will become the Lord of the High World. If he loves all people, he will love me, and I will also love him among all people. This is enough."

Wang Tingyue wanted to say more but was interrupted by Liang Qian.

"It's not easy for you to come to the palace, let's talk business. I just told you so much, I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

Wang Tingyue knew that she didn't want to continue this topic, so he didn't force her.

……

After leaving the Mirror Hall, Wang Tingyue's mind flashed with the image of her sitting alone in front of the desk before she left. He thought about it again and again, paused, and turned back.

Liang Qian was about to go out when she saw the person who had left coming back and couldn't help being surprised.

Before I could ask, he spoke first.

"Ah'an, do you remember how sad you were when he died?"

Liang Qian was stunned.

Wang Tingyue sighed slightly: "People often say that there is a long time to come, but how long is this so-called long time to come? Who can know?"

Liang Qian bit her lip and said nothing.

Wang Tingyue's tone was indescribably low: "After Ajiao died, I always thought of her and the past... I owed her too much in this life."

Liang Huan looked at him silently.

This was the first time he talked about Liang Jiao to her since they met again.

Liang Qian understood that no matter how Liang Jiao treated others, she was always consistent towards Wang Tingyue and was even willing to protect him with her life.

Outside the Mirror Hall, Liang Qian held her banner tightly and was about to head towards the plum blossom forest when suddenly, someone caught up with her from behind.

"Queen Mother."

Liang Qian turned around and saw Gong Yangjing striding towards her.

"Anything else?"

Gong Yangjing stood still but did not rush to speak. He thought for a moment before saying, "I want to ask, will that Wei...stay in the cold palace forever? The eunuchs who are guarding her reported that she has not eaten or drunk for a while and has been clamoring to see the emperor. I secretly went to see her once and it was true."

He added, "A few days ago, I was afraid of arousing suspicion, so I had her tied up and gagged. She has been quiet in the past two days. I guess she doesn't have the energy to make trouble anymore. But this is not a long-term solution..."

Liang Qian glanced in the direction of the cold palace and pondered for a moment.

"I gonna go see."

The heavy wooden door suddenly opened, revealing the deep and dim palace behind it, and a smell of oldness and decay hit me in the face.

Gong Yangjing was guarding the door, and Liang Qian went in alone.

On a cloudy, snowy day without sunlight, the palace was darker than usual.

As we walked along the road, we saw that in the hall, apart from the curtains that were so old that the color could not be distinguished, and the paint-peeled desk and bed, there were no other unnecessary furnishings.

Liang Qian looked at it while going deeper inside.

Until behind a big pillar, there was a person sitting there with his head down, barefoot, and half dead.

Not far from her right, on the ground, there was some food that had already gone cold.

Liang Qian glanced at the cold food and didn't eat a single bite.

I heard footsteps, but the person on the ground didn't move.

"I...I want to see the Lord...I want to see him..."

If it weren't for the inaudible sobbing, I would have thought it was a corpse.

Liang Qian stood for a while and called her.

"Wei Zhen'er."

The sobbing stopped, and the person whose face was covered by scattered hair slowly raised his head. The confused and misty eyes regained some clarity, and when he saw who was coming, he was surprised, but also a little scared.

"It's... it's you. What do you want to do? Are you... here to kill me?"

The trembling voice sounded like he would die at any moment.

Liang Qian squatted down and faced her.

After not eating or drinking for many days, Wei Zhen'er's face became pale and her neck was thin. She looked like an old woman, without any trace of her former charm.

Liang Qian frowned slightly: "Kill you? Don't you know that you are already dead?"

Wei Zhen'er burst into tears and pointed at me with a weak voice: "It's you who caused me to suffer. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen to this point."

"Did I hurt?"

Wei Zhen'er gritted her teeth: "You are an empress dowager...but you spend all day thinking about how to occupy the master and compete with us for favor and love. You...you have no shame——"

Liang Qian looked at the person in front of her and sighed helplessly: "You are the only one who treats him as a treasure, and you want me to monopolize him. Is he worthy?"

As she spoke, Liang Qian picked up the bowl and placed it in front of Wei Zhen'er.

"If you really want to scold me, wait until you're full before scolding me. Otherwise, you'll sound so weak that I'll almost fall asleep listening to you."

Wei Zhen'er choked: "You, what do you want to do? Why do you want to imprison me?"

Liang Qian cast her gaze towards the distant window frame and sighed faintly: "Wei Zhen'er, in this world, the more others want you to die, the more you should live. Only by living can you see the person you really want to see--"

She paused for a moment, then looked away and returned her gaze to the skinny man's face. "For example, Gao Zihong."

Wei Zhen'er was stunned, then collapsed in an instant, and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

The third prince, Gao Zihong, is not even one year old.

Counting the days, she is only a few days older than Xier.

Liang Qian glanced at the person lying on the ground crying, stopped talking, stood up and went to the door.

Just as she was about to step out of the threshold, a person crying caught up with her.

"Liang Qian, why did you save me?"

Liang Qian stopped walking but didn't look back: "I know you were framed."

She said without stopping.

After making sure that the door was bolted inwards and turning off the lights in the outer room, Gu Ya went into the inner room.

The room was quiet. Apart from a faint light, no other sound could be heard.

Gu Ya thought that the people inside were already asleep, so he deliberately walked lightly.

I didn't expect that just as I stepped over the threshold, I saw Liang Qian sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down, silently, her right hand stroking a large wooden box, and I didn't know what she was thinking about.

The lid of the wooden box was not opened, but even if it was not opened, Gu Ya knew what was inside.

In the entire Da Qi Palace, she was the only one who knew about it, except Sister Jinlan.

Gu Ya took a look, then looked away and quietly went to the outer room.

Whenever this happens, they will leave tactfully.

Only when he heard the sound of chess pieces falling from the inner room did Gu Ya pick up the brewed tea.

Liang Qian looked at the black pieces on the chessboard and fell into deep thought.

Gao Yongsheng was Gao Huan's strongest supporter. She had intended to push him onto the battlefield. Even if Gao Huan died, Gao Hao would not underestimate this force. However, due to the war on the front line, he could not kill him directly. In desperation, he would definitely ask someone to keep a close eye on him, and the task of keeping an eye on him would definitely be handed over to the person he trusted the most. The next step would be how to divide them...

Liang Qian smiled, picked up a white piece and placed it down, letting herself deal another blow to this so-called brotherhood.

"Empress Dowager." Gu Ya put down the teacup and knelt down beside the table.

Liang Qian turned her head to look over.

Gu Ya pulled out a letter from her sleeve. "Sister Jinlan had someone deliver it to me secretly."

After the palace coup that day, Ao Rubing pleaded with Gao Hao, begging him to spare Jinlan's life and marry her.

Liang Qian opened the letter. The content of the letter was not long.

When I was writing today, I heard a song, "Destiny" by en, and it immediately reminded me of Gao Qian.
