Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

The woman in the red dress had her long hair tied up high. She stood in front of the desk with her hands folded across her chest. She lowered her brows and looked closely at the woman with no makeup on who was surrounded by piles of medical books. She couldn't help but frowned.

"Liang Qian, are you here to work as a doctor in our Zhou country?"

Liang Qian was slightly stunned, turned her head and smiled at Chen Dechun, then looked up again.

"I wonder what General Xiao means?"

Xiao Qianyi put down her hand, her expression a little unnatural: "I, I have something to tell you, do you have time?"

Liang Qian was quite surprised.

Chen Dechun beside him stroked his white beard and smiled: "Madam, go ahead. I have an old minister to guard this place."

Liang Qian thought about it, put down the medical record in her hand and stood up.

*

The August wind gently blows through the hair at the temples, bringing the soothing and tranquil atmosphere of autumn.

Liang Qian and Xiao Qianyi were walking together on the streets of Yuezhou City.

This was not the first time Liang Qian came to Yuezhou. When she was kidnapped by Chunyu Bei and taken to Zhou State, she also passed by here. It could be said that she was revisiting an old place. The difference was that this place once belonged to Qi State, but now it was the territory of Zhou State. How could she not feel complicated?

Liang Qian walked slowly and watched silently.

Although it is not as prosperous and crowded as before, there are still many shops and stalls in the streets and alleys, and the people coming and going seem to be as comfortable as usual.

It can be seen that Yuezhou City has recovered well. After all, the measures of rewarding farming and weaving and reducing taxes are effective.

Xiao Qianyi said she had something to tell her, but after leaving the pharmacy, she remained silent and walked towards the downtown area with her eyes downcast.

Seeing that she was still not speaking, Liang Qian turned her head to look at her: "Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Qianyi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and nodded: "It's basically healed."

Liang Qian said: "We still need to check pulses regularly."

Xiao Qianyi responded, hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought you would be very angry if I tricked you into coming here like this."

Liang Qian smiled: "If you didn't care about his health, why would you do this? Since you are doing this for his own good, why should I be angry?"

She changed the subject and said sternly, "However, next time, you might as well tell me the truth. After all, no one likes to be deceived."

Xiao Qianyi blushed, and suddenly she was stunned again: "Next time? From what you said, you want to go back to Jinye?"

Liang Qian nodded gently: "Yes."

Xiao Qianyi was startled and could not help but stop and look at her. She suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she had been wearing plain clothes all these days and only claimed to be the female disciple of the imperial physician.

Xiao Qianyi was very puzzled: "Why do you want to go back? Haven't you reconciled?"

Liang Qian was stunned: "Reconcile?" Xiao Qianyi frowned: "Yes, you don't know that he has been very friendly to us these days. Just ask anyone in the army. Anyone with eyes can see his changes. Even General Song who got drunk and made trouble the day before yesterday was only punished with thirty military sticks. If it were normal times, it would be..."

She paused, without going into detail, and only said, "In short, people who don't know the truth have speculated that the imperial physician's female disciple has healed his old injuries with her miraculous hands, which made the emperor very happy, so he has been particularly lenient in the past two days. But only we know what really happened."

She snorted and laughed: "How dare you say that this has nothing to do with you?"

Liang Qian was about to say something but stopped herself. Yuwen Jue was not the kind of person who made decisions based on his mood.

Xiao Qianyi looked at both sides of the street and saw that no one was paying attention, so she continued, "Although I still had doubts about you before, I later learned a lot. Didn't you decide to help us secretly because he was the emperor of the Great Zhou? Since he is the Lord of Zhou and you are married to him, how can you not be the queen of our Great Zhou? Don't forget that you are still the Princess of Qi, Xiao. He has been on the throne for so long, but he still has no queen and is still devoted to the war. What is his plan? Isn't it obvious?"

Liang Qian pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer Xiao Qianyi's series of questions.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Some things are not as simple as you think."

Xiao Qianyi shook her head and disagreed: "Why not? I think his mind is too simple."

She paused and added, "Others may not understand, but I remember clearly what you said to him in the Jinye Tavern that year. You blamed him for not being able to decide his own marriage and being manipulated by others. Now he is the emperor. If he wants, who can stop him? Unless you don't want to."

Liang Qian remained silent.

Xiao Qianyi frowned and looked her up and down. She had nothing to do with the legendary concubine. She couldn't help but sigh, "Liang Qian, sometimes I really don't understand you. Tell me, why did you give up the position of Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty that was within your grasp and abandon your child and husband like this?"

Liang Qian couldn't help but laugh: "Then why did you abandon the pampered girl in Yinyue Mansion and spend the whole day brandishing swords and guns, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons? What are you trying to achieve?"

Xiao Qianyi was startled, then she laughed, and then sighed.

Liang Qian lowered her eyes and continued, "Whether you believe it or not, what I did was not because he was Mr. Zhou—"

She sighed softly, raised her eyes and looked at the pedestrians coming and going in the distance, and said: "Before leaving Lianzhou City, my teacher told me that doctors are kind-hearted and can save people with more than just medical skills. Yuwen Jue also told me that even if he hadn't led the army to attack Qi, there would have been others. How could I not know this?

The reason why I am willing to stay is not only because he is my husband, I am worried about his health and care about his life or death, but more importantly, the world has been in turmoil for too long, and we need a wise monarch to end the war as soon as possible and return a peaceful world to everyone...

If something happens to him, not only will Qi, which is already in serious internal turmoil, be hopeless, but even your Zhou will be caught up in internal strife for the throne.

If there is another Zhou Jun, will he be like Yuwen Jue, treating our Qi soldiers and people well, or will he be like Yuwen Ke, raping, looting, and killing prisoners for fun?"

Seeing Liang Qian like this, Xiao Qianyi's mind flashed back to the time when she rode a horse into the army. Even though she was forced to kneel in front of the battle by Yuwen Ying, she was not afraid of life or death, and was determined to live and die with the Qi soldiers.

She was willing to sacrifice her own life and the life of her unborn child just to give a chance of survival to the soldiers and civilians who had abandoned the city and fled...

Xiao Qianyi was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "If anyone dares to say that the Liang family is a demon that brings disaster to the country and the people, I will be the first one to not forgive him."

Liang Qian's lips twitched and she couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Qianyi glared at her angrily: "What are you laughing at? You don't know that I have heard those storytellers make up stories about you before. Now that I think about it, I should have slapped each of them!"

Liang Qian smiled and nodded: "Then if General Xiao encounters these people again in the future, do not show mercy."

Xiao Qianyi didn't smile at all, and said solemnly: "Actually, I came to you today because I have something to tell you."
