Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Not only has Yuezhou ceased fighting in the past two days, but even the fighting in Yanzhou has stopped.

Capturing a city is important, but defending it after taking it is also very important.

It was the rainy season in Wujiang, and the heavy rains in recent days caused water to accumulate on the flat ground in Yanzhou. It was said that in serious places, the rain even reached the calves. Not to mention that most of the Zhou army, who were from the north, were not used to it, even the Qi people who had lived here for a long time complained bitterly.

However, this disaster did not happen today. It's just that in the past, the memorials from low-level officials were passed through layers of transmission, and by the time they were reported to Jinye, they had been downplayed and passed over hastily.

If during this period anyone has a conflict with anyone else and deliberately makes things difficult for the emperor, then the memorial will never have a chance to see the emperor's face. Of course, that is a different story for those officials who prefer less trouble over more.

Therefore, if the Zhou army had not encountered this disaster after capturing Yanzhou and reported it to Yuwen Jue, Liang Qian would not have known about it.

Liang Qian couldn't help but sigh that when she was in power in the past, she would never see such memorials.

After a long time, how can one not become deaf and blind?

Yuwen Jue gently put down the teacup, and when he looked up, he saw Liang Qian staring at the memorial in her hand for a long time with her eyes downcast.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, Liang Qian came to his senses, put down the memorial in his hand, and looked over: "I saw in this memorial that due to the heavy rains in Yanzhou City, the soldiers and civilians in the city have been walking in the mud all day, and many people's toes have been swollen. It seems that the situation in the Yanzhou area is more serious than I thought. I think that the transfer of grain alone is far from enough..."

Yuwen Jue held her hand and said, "That's true. However, I have sent someone to go there. In addition to rebuilding the city and improving the drainage in the city, I have also sent a royal doctor to treat them with medicinal materials. However, it may take two days to deliver the medicinal materials."

The continuous heavy rain will certainly cause inconvenience to transportation.

Liang Qian nodded, paused, and said, "Linchuan and Yanzhou are not too far away, and there is a waterway connecting them. I can have someone transport some emergency supplies first, and after two days, you can provide follow-up supplies. How do you think?"

Just as Yuwen Jue was about to speak, Liang Qian spoke first, "Let me make it clear, I am not taking any money for the transported herbs. Although I don't expect it to make money, it can't make me lose money."

Yuwen Jue couldn't help but raise his lips and smile: "Okay."

Liang Qian felt annoyed by his smile, and frowned, then said, "Come to think of it, what I gave you for free this year is already a waste of money. You can't just grab me and take advantage of me, right?"

Yuwen Jue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I have absolutely no such intention. If you want any compensation, just tell me."

Liang Qian tilted her head and thought seriously: "After I finish dealing with these difficult matters at the moment, I will calculate it in detail and then tell you."

"Okay, no problem." Yuwen Jue agreed readily.

Liang Qian took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, then looked at him again: "As for the imperial physician in charge, who are you going to send? If I were not busy right now, I would like to go and take a look."

Yuwen Jue said: "Chen Dechun."

"Teacher?" Liang Qian was a little surprised. "It is true that the teacher is experienced and is the most suitable candidate, but what will you do if he leaves like this? Don't forget that you can't live without someone to take care of you now--"

Liang Qian stopped and looked at Yuwen Jue thoughtfully.

Yuwen Jue met her gaze but smiled without saying anything.

Liang Qian understood: "You did it on purpose."

Yuwen Jue smiled: "Not entirely. After all, I can't beat this day."

Liang Qian sighed silently. How could she not understand his intention?

"You also know how chaotic Jinye is. With the current momentum of the Zhou army, it will only take around the New Year to attack Jinye. At this time, I am afraid that there will be another incident like the one involving King Pengcheng. Wang Tingyue is now in the dark, which makes him much safer than before, but at the same time, he will have many inconveniences in his actions. If I were here -"

Yuwen Jue took Liang Qian's hand, gently pulled her into his arms and said, "Don't worry, since I want to keep you here, I will definitely have other plans."

Liang Qian was slightly stunned, and gradually understood something in her heart.

In fact, since he came to Jinye on New Year's Eve that year to see me, many things must have been planned.

At this moment, many things that she was unsure about before seemed to have clear answers.

Gao Qian once said that neither he nor Lu Xiu had changed, except...

Liang Qian smiled lightly and didn't think about it any further.

"Okay, then I will focus on dealing with King Pengcheng."

She just buried her head in his arms, carefully feeling the beating heart in his chest.

Yuwen Jue stroked her hair and said, "After a few days, I'll ask Guyu to send Xi'er to Yuezhou to accompany you, okay?"

Suddenly, a nameless fire rose in Liang Qian's heart, burning more and more vigorously.

She stepped away from his embrace and glared at the man in front of her with gentle eyes. "Master Lu, you did it on purpose." Yuwen Jue smiled at the furious man, slowly holding her waist with both hands, gently lifting her towards him, resting his chin on her neck, and his warm and soft lips brushing her cheek. His voice was low and light, with a hint of temptation.

"Nian Nian, you are being unfair."

Liang Qian's face suddenly turned red. She wanted to refute, but he held her down and she couldn't move at all.

Yuwen Jue was like a hunter luring a small animal, coaxing her step by step into the net that had been set up long ago.

"As long as you have me, you can get everything you want. Compared to where you are now, you will only have the additional identity of the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter how you look at it, you won't lose anything, right?"

Liang Qian turned her head and looked straight into his eyes.

There is no king in the world.

If I really abandon him without a care in the world, I will have to live in hiding for the rest of my life. Not only will I be without Xier and those friends, but even the things I want to do will be restricted.

Isn't that the same as giving up everything?

What's the point if that day comes?

Liang Qian stared at the smiling man and said angrily, "What about you? Aren't you at a disadvantage?"

Yuwen Jue pecked her soft pink lips and smiled softly, "What do you think?"

Yuwen Jue never thought about letting go.

All the retreats are just for the last shot.

Liang Qian stared at Yuwen Jue without saying a word.

Yuwen Jue sighed slightly: "All I want is you."

Liang Qian clenched her palms and gritted her teeth. "I really hate you!"

Yuwen Jue sighed softly, no trace of smile on his face anymore. His eyes, as deep as a well, were filled with water as he stared at her without blinking, filled with emotions that had been pent up for too long.

"But I... really love you."

Liang Qian was stunned, lowered her head, and tears suddenly fell.

She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and hugged his neck angrily. "You don't take care of your body like this, aren't you relying on the fact that I won't really abandon you and don't care whether you live or die, right?"

Yuwen Jue smiled with curved lips, found a comfortable position in her arms, with his long eyelashes drooping.

There was silence for a long time.

After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth: "Do you want to know how I died?"

Liang Qian narrowed her eyes, feeling extremely heartbroken.

"I... just want you to live well."

"it is good."

There is a hint of imperceptible sadness hidden in the gentle laughter.

Yuwen Jue stood up and sat face to face with her again. He took one of her hands and put it against his face. His burning gaze pierced into the deepest part of people's hearts and he could see through all the secrets in an instant.

"Xianxian, I know your concerns, but I also want to tell you, don't look down on me, and don't look down on yourself, okay?"

The candlelight flickered, and the heart was filled with love and silence.

No matter how many sweet words you say, they are far less than his gentle love.

……

When I woke up the next morning, it was still too late.

Liang Qian couldn't stand Yuwen Jue's insistence and could only let him put clothes on her piece by piece.

Liang Qian was still wearing a plain dress. As soon as the two of them stepped out of the inner room, Qingzhu walked in from outside.

After she stood still, she bowed with an extremely serious expression.

"Your Majesty, Madam, I just received news from Jinye that the plum forest in the palace caught fire last night and Queen Wenxuan is missing."

Liang Qian's body stiffened, then she relaxed and turned her head to look at Yuwen Jue.
